SageHarpuiaJDJ Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Hi SF! It's actually been awhile since I've actually haven't completed a sprite, like a few months, so I'll be taking requests and whatnot to help with my derusting and inspiration.A Pseudo-CvS style that I did when the style piqued my interests. I still do this style, but I've yet to perfect it.I remembered trying to make the style a bit bigger to help in terms of detail, and I thought that Eirika would be a good design to practice on. It needs some huge refinements here and there, but I like the general shaping and lineart.Eirika again, but in SSF2's pseudo-JUS style. I wasn't planning on being a dev; did it just for fun. Really liked what I did.The original Myrm Lord, Lyn, in the same style as Eirika, but this one is older. The one in the middle was a reference edit for the colors. I can't remember if the left or the right one was the one with the fixes, because I was told that the colors needed to be darker.Giro from MMZX in the same style, and Heiachi in a similar style.I was just brainstorming and came up with this design. Not sure what I was planning with it though.Now for some incomplete stuff...Roy with his Sm4sh redesign. This came before Eirika, but somehow the poses were exactly the same, which is weird because I referenced her GBA sprite like I did with Roy.Chun-Li. I still needed to improve the anatomy and the general base colors. Also, the red boxes were placeholder areas for Kyo and either Ryo, Terry, or Leona, and the Ryu was a quick edit I did of my Ken sprite.Cable from the Marvel Universe as a request. He wasn't too complicated, but being the lazy bastard I am, I never got around to finish him or even start my other requests. I want to break out of that soon.And my most recent unfinished sprite, Zinnia from ORAS. Why did I decide to do that hunched down pose? The lineart is good imo, but the cape is gonna be a royal pain in the arse.That pretty much covers most of my recent stuff. Like, Comment, Subscribe Tell me what you think! Also, since there's a lot of threads here dedicated to FE GBA sprites and portraits, I was wondering what's the general guidelines for them? Like size, color limits, etc.? I'm actually interested in learning the style myself. Edited December 17, 2016 by SageHarpuiaJDJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobyTheGoober Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hi SF!

I'm actually interested in learning the style myself. Hey, these aren't too bad! They're actually pretty good. Ads for GBA, there are a few things to keep in mind. The size should be no bigger than what is known as the hack box. (This is the hack box, the actual portrait goes into that large green thing above the red squares.) As for colors, it should be no more than 16. When making the actual portraits, I recommend using the colors from the actual existing GBA fe portraits, and referencing them for proportions and shading. Reference FE7 and FE8 only, fe6 mugs are pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
かベリー Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Oooh, these are radical! Don't forget to add Zinnia's croissant boob things, they're the best part about her design. Anyways, regarding GBA stuff, the talking frames are always in one spot, so you have to perfectly align it and then make your frames based off the area on which the frames are overlayed.

I might be interpreting this wrong, but you can move the talking and blinking frames - they just have to be aligned to the grid, which you can use Usenti to easily see. then when inserting you can drag the frames around in feditor into the right spot inb4 i just misunderstood what you were saying On the sprites themselves: they look great! Those Eirikas <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
かベリー Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I- I never realized you can move them around, deary me. You still have to be very wary of where they go and how they fit with the main sprite, but I never thought how useful that could be for some poses.

Eliwan Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Thanks for the tips and the guide! What are the other boxes for since the green area is used for the portraits?The two purple boxes are for blinking frames, fully closed on the bottom. The red boxes are for talking frames. The right-most red box is used in the stat screen. The next-rightmost should be for Smiling Closed Mouth on top and Normal Closed Mouth on bottom-- then the leftmost are Smiling Open Mouth and Normal Closed Mouth, with the one in the middle being a halfway. Then the 32x32 box above the purple is for the chibi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SageHarpuiaJDJ Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) ^There's needs to be tutorials like that lol. Informative yet filled with personality. I'll start learning the style once I get to the groove anyways: A few years ago I had this idea of Remixing Mega Man, and these were the old designs. I'm now going back to this, but now the story is gonna be rewritten and the designs revamped. Starting with 'Zero' I think I made the upper body too small, but other than that I like how it came out. Just need to redo the hair(it was gonna be a generic long hair style) and shade. Thoughts? Edited July 31, 2016 by SageHarpuiaJDJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageHarpuiaJDJ Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Super bump! Almost done, but I'm stuck on the color of the hair. What looks the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageHarpuiaJDJ Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 And done. I should prolly do some FE stuff soon, but I'm just getting used to the flow of my style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageHarpuiaJDJ Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) No FE stuff yet, but have a Kyo in his NESTS Attire. I made the legs too long, but other than that I think it's coming along nicely. EDIT: Legs were bothering me way too much lol.

SageHarpuiaJDJ Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Oh hey, Something Fire Emblem related. It's Female, edited from Eirika, but I decided to make her taller since I don't really work with super small sprites. I know the shadow isn't correct, but I don't wanna shade over the axe. How's my first FE attempt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageHarpuiaJDJ Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Update. I think it looks more fitting now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatioactive414 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Great for your first. It just appears that the shading on the axe needs work. Also, Eirika is pretty small compared to most other battle sprites, so there's no problem in making yours taller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
