No context WIP to a dead thread on a mostly dead forum

So it's only been two years, this thread isn't dead yet right? 2 WIPs and a splice competition I never posted

They kinda ended at 160 because no one entered... I think I made an entry but never submitted it. If there's any interest I might start it back up. It is, in my opinion, the most accessible spriting contest.

Still missing #7, #13, #29, #38, #149, and #151. Updated to #159

A little heft before the point might add a little more weight (because all his other movements seem to show the sword being pretty heavy), but otherwise it looks pretty solid. The toss is downright beautiful. And just BTW, the base sprite is really nice: a lot of detail but still easily readable.

Second what Capibaira said: The face and hair look good. Maybe needs a touch of shading by the right (her left) eye. I assume the neck and shoulders are mostly wip but a few suggestions: -Move the collarbones in slightly -Define the shoulders better -Shade the far side significantly darker -Overall use more of the third skin shade I'd recommend you look at Eleanora and Sonia from Fe7 as neck references. Personally I really like the palette you have, somewhere between 7 & 8 but do be careful with the skin contrast. Finally, I'd use one of the dark eye tones in the blouse instead of the darkest skin tone

Probably could be happier but I'm done fiddling with that mouth.

The Brawler. Potential Barbarian variation. Forgoes weapons in favor of raw strength which makes him unaffected by the weapon triangle.

Been too long.

I think that addresses everything you mentioned

Still alive. Two new Customs And a "Splice".

Rushed but have Megaman Juno

What? It's not dead just... on a.... Extended Hiatus...thing

I kept forgetting to work on this.

Alrighty, I'm still alive and I bring Things! Animation for an old Battler This Fire Sage Dude for SC146 and here's a GIF of him being made for those curious (I don't know why my Gif Maker screwed up the compression on this one.) An interesting guy I made to see what would happen if I tried to make a face at that angle.

THEME: Legends of Literature - Sprite a character from a book/movie/anime/television series. [spoiler=Voting and Winners]VOTING: Voting will be split into two categories. -Best in Theme -Best Overall Battle Sprite >Voting will run for 3 days If there are a large amount of entries, Best in Theme will be divided into smaller categories based on whether an entry is custom, splice, or animation. WINNERS: (Open to new ideas for this) Winning placement will be decided by total number of votes across categories. >The winner gets to choose two potential themes either from a list or of their own imagination. >The winner and runner ups will vote upon the themes to select one. >The winner gets two votes in addition to theme selection. >Second place gets two votes. >Third place gets one vote. >Whatever theme wins the winner's votes will be used for the next competition. Note, votes can be split, if you have two votes they do NOT need to go to the same theme. Voting Ends: Sunday, June 19th sorry it's late

For those of you who are not so unlucky as to be in a skype chat with me, I made a new self portrait mug. Big thanks to the SALVAGED chat who helped fix a LOT of problems.

"Keep it short, stranger. I'm not interested in your life's story."

Mainly static, but animations are definitely allowed (and will probably earn you more votes).

Ultimately I'd say that's up to Tao. But if he wants to that would be a good idea.

THEME/TOPIC: Legends of Literature - Sprite a character from a book/movie/anime/television series. (It's a huge category!) [spoiler=Rules]RULES: 1) Only 1 entry per contestant. 2) No voting for your own entry! 3) Entries should be limited to 16 colors.(15 colors+ 1 background color) This is more of a guideline, but good to follow for style and challenge reasons. Colors may be custom or using GBA sprite palletes. 5) No posting previous/old works! This means no edits/recolors of something previously made as well. -allowing previous/old works would give an unfair advantage to certain entries, two weeks is a good amount of time to work on an entry... how fair would it be to have to go up against something someone spent months or even a year on? -creating brand new works, encourages creativity and artistic growth and development, kinda what the whole art forums are about... isn't it? [spoiler=Voting and Winners]VOTING: Voting will be split into two categories. -Best in Theme -Best Overall Battle Sprite >Voting will run for 3 days If there are a large amount of entries, Best in Theme will be divided into smaller categories based on whether an entry is custom, splice, or animation.
