Title: Communist's Sprites
Communist - September 26, 2009 11:27 PM (GMT)
I'll just post sprites one by one so I can fix them one by one instead of having a jumble mess.
This is a pretty simple one:

nice start, I can't see anything wrong with it. So overall GRH3@+ job :thumbsup:

On the right one with the longer hair, the hair seems as if it is suspended in the air. Very unnatural. You should make the hair droop down like longer hair would. Take a look a any swordmaster and you will know what I mean.

I know what you mean, but I was trying to make it look more "feminish".
I'll get to work and edit it in when I'm done.
EDIT:
Here it is:

I didn't know why I didn't do this in the first place. :p
Isaac55 - September 27, 2009 12:06 AM (GMT)
I'll give you a hint... Lyn's critical hits.
Communist - September 27, 2009 12:10 AM (GMT)
Why use that? Is something wrong with the edited one?
Isaac55 - September 27, 2009 01:11 AM (GMT)
I wasn't talking about the edited one,

I was replying to that.
Communist - September 27, 2009 01:17 AM (GMT)
Anything wrong with the edited one then?
hpty603 - September 27, 2009 01:19 AM (GMT)
That's really cool, especially for an edit. One thing that I see is her left shoulder pad looks odd
Have you ever tried animating anything btw?
Communist - September 27, 2009 01:22 AM (GMT)
I'm sorry, but can you be more specific on what's wrong? I don't want to fix it the wrong way. :p
I've tried animating before, but I was terrible at it so I gave up. xD
hpty603 - September 27, 2009 01:33 AM (GMT)
It just looks too big and bulky for a myrm edit
And look at my first animation and then my last one, which I believe is my third or fourth

Just keep at it and you'll get better. They aren't easy to do but they look really good done properly
Communist - September 27, 2009 01:39 AM (GMT)
lol
It was edited from Ephraim. Does that make a difference? :3
Anyways, I've made the left shoulder pad less bulky on both of them:
hpty603 - September 27, 2009 01:51 AM (GMT)
Ephraim, how didn't I recognize that? >_>
And I figured out what it is. The stripe below the neck is part of Ephraim's cape and it looks like it's part of the shoulder pad when it's the same color as the armor. Try having the trim on the shoulder pads go down another pixel and removing the remnant of the cape
Whitewolf8 - September 27, 2009 02:06 AM (GMT)
Interesting
...
Good job, keep up the good work & all :D
Communist - September 27, 2009 02:24 AM (GMT)
Thanks.
Here's the edit:

Right now, I'm not sure if I'm messing with the correct shoulder pad. We're talking about the one on the left, right? The one whose arm is holding the sword?
Also, I kind of like the cape part over the body. I tried to make it look like a leather piece over the armor.
hpty603 - September 27, 2009 05:31 AM (GMT)
No, I was talking about "her left" >_>
Oh well, it still looks good
Communist - September 27, 2009 05:51 AM (GMT)
lol
So I was doing the wrong shoulder all along. I'll try to redo it and edit it in.
There we go:
Communist - September 27, 2009 06:55 PM (GMT)
Just made another one:
carlantis25 - September 28, 2009 10:20 AM (GMT)
your off to a great start so keep up the good work
lol communism now there's a government system that works
diggybop4 - September 28, 2009 01:21 PM (GMT)
wow...your first sprites are better then mine now :wallbash: :wallbash:
Communist - September 28, 2009 06:02 PM (GMT)
Thank you for the comments.
First face sprite:

I'm still practicing on shading. As you can see, the hair barely has shading and looks fluffy. I'm also still working on shading the clothes.
diggybop4 - October 3, 2009 06:33 PM (GMT)
your shading is heck of a lot better then mine

You're going to hard on yourself diggybop. Just mess around with paint for a while, and you'll get the hang of it.
As for the mug, you need some sort of shading in the center of the hair and shirt. Take a look at some of the FE mugs to help you out.

Add some more texture to the hair.

I think he said he was working on it.
Might look a little pillowy but a great effort.

I know, just wanted to give out some advice anyways.

A rather simple sprite:

@Isaac55:
Cormag's hair shading is not what I'm looking for. It's more like this:

But I've given up. I'll have to deal with fluffy hair.
Lucius - October 10, 2009 03:26 AM (GMT)
Really like that sprite. Its definitely a dude. ;)

i get the feeling his arm feels like its going to fall off soon. lol but there's not other problems that i can see
Communist - October 10, 2009 07:28 AM (GMT)
I forgot to mention that I've updated the bottom of my last face sprite:

Is the shading okay now?
Thanks for the comments by the way.
b0nest0rm99 - October 11, 2009 05:17 AM (GMT)
Referencing FE7 mugs will do better for you. A lot of FE8's hair shading
is just weird.
Good luck, bro. Learning how to shade hair is NOT easy.
Renegade - October 11, 2009 10:01 AM (GMT)
Agreed. It took me a damn while to get hairshading right - and I still haven't got it...

Looks for pretty nice (in newb mug editor's eyes) but breasts looks pretty odd... flat/blank I think.

I'll try to make them more roundish and edit it in later. Thank you for the critique.
