deleted35362 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Well, hello dere! I don't mean to derail the topic, but I'm no fan of FE anymore, I got tired of spriting, and a lot's been going on in my world, now. I still lurk every now and then, you know, to take a look at my favorite FE sprite artists and the hack projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epsilon5 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I like the angle on the dancer. A lot. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astelaine Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Boney! It's good to see you! <3 I'm glad you're still lurking, even if you aren't into FE much anymore. Thanks for the thumbs-up! Epsilon, thanks too! Hopefully the dancer will be done soon. I don't have that much left to finish. :) Also, updates on adult Archibald: -> Amelia made a super-awesome young Archibald for Dream of Five, and his hair looked sooo good that I revamped this Arch to have hair more like Amelia's. Thank you for the hair inspiration, Amely! You're so good at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feaw Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 ...To be completely honest, I like the old version's hair better, Astel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warg Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I prefer the hair of the older version too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I'm for the newer one. The lines are a lot more crisp, the shading's more detailed, and I like what you've done with the way the hair hangs compared to the old one. Keep it up ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deranger Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Yay, the shoulder pads are symmetricalish now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astelaine Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Yay, the shoulder pads are symmetricalish now. Yep! I remembered that crit and fixed the trim. :) I'm for the newer one. The lines are a lot more crisp, the shading's more detailed, and I like what you've done with the way the hair hangs compared to the old one. Thanks, Seph! This is my opinion too. The new one's shading is just plain better. Feaw and Warg, what in specific did you prefer about the old one? The shading? The shape? That the left bang flicked out instead of curving towards the face? There's not much I can do without more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feaw Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Well, I liked that in the old version the bangs waren't plain curly, they were... a little bit square-ish, and I actually liked that. I also like the shading way better, yeah. Iunno, it just looks tons better, imo. But if you like the new one better, just ignore me =B.

Warg Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) I think his right side of the hair(our left) is better on the older version but is left side(our right) is better in the new version Edited December 24, 2011 by Warg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amelia Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I think his hair on the left is meant to be hanged on his ear and goes behind it? Nope I can't describe this clearly. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astelaine Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 I think his hair on the left is meant to be hanged on his ear and goes behind it? Nope I can't describe this clearly. :P Yep, that's it exactly!And huzzah, my latest spriting project is complete: revamped Cecilia! (The original is on the left; my version on the right.) Her hair always bothered me, so I decided to redo it, along with various other touch-ups. A big thanks to Yeti for helping me fix the eyes. She's not available for use, so please don't ask. But if you've got any crit, I'd love to hear it! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teapot Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) About bloody time someone fixed her. :B Do Yuuno next. Wonderful hair fix, although the biggest thing that's bothered me about her forever was her face. Her whole mouth region feels like it needs to be pushed back into her face and separated from her nose or something. Scratch that. Played with it, and all she needs is for her mouth to be moved inward one pixel...and maybe have her jaw widened a bit, but that's trivial. Also, though I did say the hair was wonderful (because it is), it feels like it's suddenly lacking in detail compared to the original, not to mention that the rear strands are kinda lumpy and clumpy, like toothpaste. I wouldn't mind seeing more editing on the clothing, either. Yet Another Edit -- Oh, and it would be lovely if you could reduce her hair colors to 3, because the original 4 is simply unnecessary. o 3o~ Edited February 28, 2012 by uJELLY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freohr Datia Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Ugh nice, I always hated her hair too XD I like this much better. I didn't really see anything else wrong with it but apparently AK has so I wouldn't really have anything else that I say on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Cecilia's face has always been kinda derpy. You'd think that looking at it for so long, I'd have figured out what the problem was, but nope! Haha. Luckily, moving her mouth and doing some jaw futzing won't be bad. I'll see what I can do! As for the hair, which parts do you mean by "rear strands?" Lemme know and I will fix them. :) The 4 hair shades - I'm torn. I agree they are unnecessary because she doesn't have blonde hair, but part of me wants to stay true to the original coloring. But it wouldn't be too hard to pull that lightest one out and see what happens. Thanks, AK! Free, thank you too! I'm glad you like her!

Astelaine Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Man, I really haven't had the urge to sprite for a long time - until today! Estelle is finished, save for crit/fixes and frames. Previous version is on the left. -> Been messing with the mug in my sig, too, trying to fix the hair, but I don't have enough progress to show yet.

Astelaine Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Haha, I kind of did. I've been busy with RL and other creative work. Haven't much been in the mood to sprite or Skype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astelaine Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) this little chunklet of hair here seems a bit weird Hey Nephew! Has Uncle been treating you right? Haha.Can you try to articulate what seems funky about that chunklet of hair? It would help if you could. :) Thanks for pointing it out! Always liked that dancer sprite. Looks great. Tyvm, Phoenix! The rising strand of hair leaning on the shoulder that you added doesn't seen to be working imo. Boney! <3 Thanks for replying! It seems other folks have had the same problem with it. I might get rid of it altogether in order not to steal attention from her face. I'll mess around and see what happens.
