Hi. I don't normally respond on Serenes but I'm gonna respond to this. Short answer, I'm probably not fixing it. Long answer, Yes. I can use the skin tone. As someone who normally uses full palettes when spriting I agree that I would rather have a pure white color, but this was caused by a couple things. One, is palette limitations. There's a couple portraits that are hitting the 16 color limit without even coming close to to having access to white. Judith and Richter aren't notable for this, but there are other characters we have where I've already had to cut out quite a large number of colors already, and those colors don't use white at all. Two, is technical limitations. For whatever reason FEditor sees 248,248,248 as transparent no matter what we tried. If I'm going to be forced to use off-white anyways I don't see why I can't use the off-white of pale skin tones. And three, is relative shading. Basically, due to the fact I'm shading it with grey (or blue in Richter and Paula's cases, again, to save palette space) unless you're closely examining it, or told directly, you shouldn't realize the white is the skin tone. It will look off-white, but won't match the skin. It is a trick of contrast. Basically, while I get the reasoning, unfortunately as far as I'm concerned it's not really possible. It'd also be a LOT of work to go back and try and fit an extra color into the ~50 portraits I have finished so far, where I'm already pressed for time to finish the ones we need to get the game out. I'll definitely think about it going into future sprites but it's not really a concern, nor something I'm going to go out of my way to accomplish.

And the people who do this in other communities leave when this happens. I used to be a part of a big rom hacking community (Acmlm's). I really don't rom hack much anymore, I'm just helping with some portraits for someone else's project. I'm not a part of that community anymore. Hell, I don't even know if it still exists. But I do hang out with other people from those communities still. We made offshoot boards and the like to keep hanging out with eachother even after we lost interest. Hell, even SMW Central, full of bronies and furries and generally creepy people... is still focused on SMW and the romhacking of it. Everyone there is still there to talk about THAT. If you don't like Fire Emblem you probably shouldn't be here.

I mean I get you're trying to prove my point but step it up.

This one. There's a lot of problems with the people here being asshats. Alternatively , google+. Shouldn't need to explain that.

Okay seriously Romhackers using sprites and not giving credit, news at 11.

This may be the first time I've seen "please don't use my sprites without permission!" attempted to be enforced in 10 years. Wow. I've seen sprites here taken without permission from Nintendo and other resources. Don't be hypocrites guys.

I'm going to. I know some other people who are, and plenty of others who have wanted to for a while. Of course, I'm gonna use the FE8 palettes because they're plain better.
