  1. You have a knack of being a right twat when you try to make a point.

    Just something I've picked up over the years, seems to be a common trait amongst the high rollers on these boards, if I may so aptly interject.

    If Ana doesn't want to take in criticism, fine, just let her have her fun spriting, because this is a hobby, it's to pass time. We don't all attribute this absurdly serious view on it as you do.

    She should have the common decency to at least acknowledge that someone else went out of their way to assist her. Not jabbing her, just in reply to you, btw. And if she doesn't, that's fine, she should just expect people to take it as very insulting and know the repercussions of being a dick.

    Once again, not saying you are, Ana, just my opinion in general to people trying to help someone else.

    Also, I'm not great at this, but Lenh's shading of the pauldrons look more correct, since they don't look like they'd be very round.

    Hmm, I'll really have to give the hairnatomy a shot on a different hair design. I'm so invested in this, it hurts to change, so I've been keeping all the layers in a separate file, lol. I added some more definition, (I think) to the highlights of the hair, also kind of changed the shape in the top left, so it doesn't just look like a rounded bulb, although it still does for the most part.

    I really appreciate the pointers, Toa! The origin seemed kind of confusing for this one for me though, since I might be seeing it overall differently than others would.

  3. Yeah it's better.

    It'd be better if something of his was on the floor o.o

    Only thing that seems off, I could be wrong, is the line separating the two pecs seem to be too straight compared to where his collarbone starts to angle, and in comparison to how his body is facing a bit to the left (his right).

    So I messed with the hair a little bit and changed his mouth expression (pretty sure I messed up under the bottom lip, and I hopefully fixed the issue with the forehead? -crosses fingers-

    I would start something new, but I'm dead from work and gotta get some shuteye for tomorrow.

    notice my first attempt at anti-aliasing at some borders of the hair

  5. Zeiss.

    Or as I like to call him, "That one mug I over-use for every spikey hair since ever".

    Ahh, Zeiss. Yeah it's looking very familiar now lol. Still clean and keeping it sexy though!

  6. Lemme be honest with you: wavy hair is a bitch to sprite.

    Damn, I really liked the design of the hair. I'll come back to this one in the future for sure then! I'll try out something new when I get home, thanks :D

  7. Sorry to derail again, and the details are fuzzy, but I remember Blazer saying that the art was his content to use as he saw fit. In the end legalities got the best of him, so he had to personally ask anyone who contributed basically anything to the hack if he could use it.

    Also, I'm curious how many other boards on the net could also be potentially responsible for this same issue.

  8. Well I'm at work right now so I can't toy with it, but the main focus has been the hair. I've been doing the shading so I can start to understand the anatomy of the hair shading.

    Clearly not going well with my play dough q.q Been watching a lot of Pi to see if I could somewhat get a grasp of the process.

  9. Link ain't workin', mate.

    Think I just fixed it? Also, are you Mew?

    EDIT: drafthairnatomy.png

    Messed with it some more, and for this draft I defined the chunks of hair more with the darkest shade. It's starting to look like hair q.q

  10. drafftttt.png

    So I was toying with other hairs, looking how it seems the middle shade seems to be majority of hair, and highlights are with the brightest shade, and the darker for contours. Am I in the right direction with separating those front bangs from the back of the hair?

    And if that is correct, should I drop the back of the hair a bit, or kind of make a dip where it meets the top of the bangs? Also, the highlights of the hair scare me, so I want to kind of get the contours down first D:

  11. Just getting rid of this theft on the forum is nothing though. It's stealing creative property and nobody is going to be punished for taking what isn't theirs and claiming it to be? That's just inhumane on so many levels.

  12. Well, you basically bashed the entire place. I might ban someone that does that too. xP

    Who would ban someone just because they bashed your website? That is completely ignorant, and whoever the mods are of that site should be ashamed. I can only imagine it was some liberal or that Ricther Abend guy thinking, "Oh shit, save my integrity!"

  13. Calling it now, none of my stuff is stolen.

    Out of like, my 8 and going on 9 years of spriting I've only had a single mug of mine stolen, a single mug. Lol.

    srs? I remember you having a million of your 'unique' mugs around when I first joined FEU around... '07 '08? And I say unique and mean unique, your character designs were very far from classic FE, in a good way haha.

  14. Wow, that forum is disgusting. Someone rent me one of them fancy pitchforks. I'll borrow a torch by interacting with a random village t(.__.t)

    EDIT: Btw, didn't we have a Richter Abend on the FEU forums a couple years back? Although afaik, it could've been a regular with a name change. And yes, I know it's from ToS, but it's not too common to use that full name as a user.

  15. Well greetings, mates! I'm an ancient member, was originally from FEU many years back. I was also on these forums for a couple years, but mostly lurking :3

    I'm back due to inspiration after buying FE: Awakening. Jesus, it's pretty good compared to FE11/12 and definitely is right behind FE9/10 for me! I'll mostly be hanging around the art forums, and the projects occasionally :D Also, this bio thingy, I'll try it out!

  16. wat.png<- Loooong bump. How active are the art forums these days? Anyways, I'll make it quick. Got a question as for general self-improvement. The green area circled, how exactly would most approach shading this? I feel as if it's a small bang, but it should accentuate the shading to the left of it a bit more? Or is that wrong, seeing as it's so small, it wouldn't cast too much of a shadow?

    By the way, nothing else is changed off Matthew, so I was only curious about that one tidbit of shading information. Thanks!

    EDIT: test2x.png

    So, thought I'd throw myself back into the vicious world of splicing, started with doing just hair right now. Feedback much appreciated :D Also, the face shading, it seems off to me. Under-shaded? Anyone got pointers for hair roots? I noticed I can tell it looks pillowy in the bangs, but not sure how to go about patching that up :o
