Guys there's a way and there's a way... You're being more than just blunt, you're being bitchy... Blunt cnc that is to the point is helpful, being rude cows isn't. That said how about I go onto some cnc, the neck is very wide, too wide even, something I didn't see when I was fixing the sprite up, I also agree that the headband could affect the hair around it better, so don't flatly refuse any cnc k Nayr? The head size seems fine to me, correcting the neck would more than likely have the head fix itself, it's a pretty good face for that pose if i do say so myself and I don't really think it needs tampering with. Now, regarding the arm, when I was editing it and re-shading the cloak, I did the best I could in the hackbox restrictions to make his chest seem decently broad(cloak shading) and leave enough space for the arms. If his chest was any thinner the pose wouldnt work, if his arms were any more 'relaxed' he wouldn't fit in the hackbox. I've tried a few things just now where I've messed around with it to make the chest smaller to allow more shoulder room so that I could cnc it for Nayr, but they all end atrociously so if anyone has better suggestions on how to alleviate this issue in the hackbox, letting him know would be a good idea cause I'm sorry Nayr but I can't see how to fix this. I'll finish by saying that buckles are a bitch :(

Is it gna be a boy or a girl. DUN DUN DUNNNNN!

Yeh I sorta hate the body, so if I'm struck with motivation at some point, I'll re-do it as an actual body rather than robe-ish clump :v

I spent a lot of time on the head/face and then sorta got bored and ended up just doing a mass of robes for the body. http://gyazo.com/55d...28af90edf8872f1 Just some of my workspace on roughly how I got to the head.

Oooh I should definately make time to join this one, people are going all out!

I think you'd need to change the 5th skin tone back to outline with the new darker cloth colour, other than that it's a pretty clean and simple splice, the main critique I have is that it still fairly looks like eliwood, maybe if you spliced smaller parts? Iono

Cecilia has potential, but ATM she's kinda creepy and badly shaded Dieks shoulderpad is fked, it's like flat and cuts into where his shoulder would be

Archer/Longbow Loljpeg haha silly phone(at a holiday house and can't upload any other%

I Dno but the trim just doesn't compare to the decorative one on your shannan, you need it to look raised as opposed to flat/ pillowed, if your still having trouble I'll compile some examples when I'm home, till then, possibly take a look at how I did it on my justice sprite, it isn't perfect but it might help

Just a note, the shirt has 3 shades. I think you'd want to focus on the shoulderpad shape first and foremost, the focus on the trim. To me it seems that you added the trim holes in at the end? It might just be that they're pillowy, where as the trim should go in lines? Like the gap in an 'A' or a 'P' the lines go around rather and form the shape iono if that makes sense, id give a visual example but I'm at my holiday house and only have my fone net no net for my lappy

Disregard this, silly iPhone dp'd

What I said was harsh, and I shoulda addressed it via IM or PM, not in your topic, it's probably the first thing I've done to you that I actually agree paints me as the arrogant jerk you think I am, the point I was trying to make, was that I don't understand how you(not just you either, there are other people who do it too) don't want to make their Sprites as flawless as possible, I understand some peoples motivations are to just have fun doing it, but iono, I guess it's just me, i like to be very good at the things I do. However, I will defend myself on one thing, I critique in tha hopes that people might look at it, agree with some or all of it or they try to find something else to fix it(whether they do itt to how I or someone suggested(if that's what I did) or in their own way, I know editing flaws out of a sprite isn't always fun but the satisfaction when you look at somethin, post it and the response is unanimous praise IMO make up for the effort spent editing) I guess that's just how I feel and I know everyone doesn't feel that way, I just don't really understand it sometimes(this next example doesn't relate to you Nickt) I don't understand hen someone posts a sprite once, gets a fair bit of cnc and later complains that no one praised it... Anyway I'm rambling... Again I'll reiterate, previous comment probably not appropriate for public forum, I shouldn't have said it, AND I don't cnc to be arrogant, I do it to try and help people improve and in the hopes that people might return the favor so that I can in turn improve my Sprites... TL:DR :-/ I wall o' text without meaning to :-/

Why post your shit if you're going to wave off valid critique/any comments that aren't praise... Maybe if you actually tried to fix stuff you'd improve more huh? Seriously sick of your bullshit *frowny face*

ALS then Amelia

It seems you're just editing stuff for the sake of it, only reason I say this is that none of the technical flaws are fixed, If anything you added to them with the cheekbone :(

Thoe strands and the Tiara still bother me, I'm sure I'll fix it eventually though :)

More a post of updates and tidbits. Re-shaded Elincia's hair completely OLD I'm much Happier with the result. Re-did 99% of Cybil to be younger(I don't think I'd posted this yet), Then I lengthened the hair again. <Previous version, may be used for part 2 of FE7X as she's older then. Stefan Wip is obviously WIP ish, I want to go through and finish his face/body completely then maybe just make a video of how I shade his hair, iono? Niime, the extension is only rough so that I could gauge her arm quickly, she'll be using a crystal ball as augury, took off her necklace and earrings cause ti was all too much, I need to give her a new earring now, Also updated her poofy part further to hold some semblance of gravity. Also currently re-doing my Nasir Using bits and pieces fromt he other mug and then just customing the rest(I may or may not have posted this, I get confused with what I post on blasts/IRC chats and in actual forums :|) Small update on Nailah's hair shading, a few strands still bother me so I might further refine it.

Last time I asked it was a girl

She look-eh... like-a man.

I guess it's sort of her having her far shoulder slightly raised and her arms crossed, head pulled back a little and staring ahead? I dno, I think it makes sense although It might be a bit of a stretch to call it comfortable.

^This, she also needs to be much much Cuter! :F She seems like she should be A lot more petite too, like comparing to her arts and fe4 sprite. Anyways I'll throw up something I found quite interesting Currently yours is on the left side, and those 3 are all at the same scale, which is significantly larger than the 3 on the right, these women all seem like they should be smallish, particularly Tiltyu and Tinny, I just think that you might want to have a look at the 3 on the right for a better scaling guide. Again, I'll reiterate, she needs to be cuter :D Her arts and fe4 sprite are all so adorable :D She actually has one of my favorite fe4 sprites. p.s. the Tinny and Ishtar on the left are by Nayr and the Tinny on the right is by Chalpy/Blackavar, so if you want to ref it for more than just size you may want to try for permission.

I'd have to agree completely, magenta ghost hands are just something that can't be abode by in any serious spriting attempt. Shading the feet is definitely a good order too. Trollolololol

I really like the design and his turtle neck's come out quite nicely haha seeing sety makes me want to go through and finish my old lineart of him I started, I had this thing where I'd go through and make the relatives of Characters that Chalpy/Blackavar had done *she did nanna, I did lachesis(and delmud, though I'm re=doing him, well I started to at least)* *she did Fury, I did Fee* *she did Levin, I started Sety* *she did Tinny, I went through and re-did miss tama's Tiltyu* Then there's the main set I did, related to her Ishtar haha Anywayyyyys i'm way off topic, the problem areas are the shoulderpads the hair and the face.
