  1. Alright, time for the costumes to come out. Who will join my Justice League?
  2. FEditor can't insert a graphic that uses more than 16 colors. Yours has multiple extra skin tones. Use a program like usenti to reduce the colors and it should work fine. As for criticism; for a first splice it's pretty good. First thing I see is mixing FE8 tones with FE7. FE8 uses higher saturation and contrast in its colors whereas FE6&7 both use a lighter, softer palette. The hair on your splice is using FE8 colors and the rest uses 7/6. Aside from that there's a small grey piece on her arm that I think is a leftover and where the bangs meet the face could use a little more shading. Looks good, Keep it up! (also, a note on your tags: “There are plenty of others willing to call you a failure, a fool, a loser, a hopeless souse. Don't you ever say it of yourself. You send out the wrong signal, that is what people pick up.”-Captain Archibald Haddock)
  3. Well I missed my second anniversary here, so here's a compilation of all/most of the battlesprites I've done in that time. Doesn't look like so many when you put them all together like that... note- not all of them are fully mine- Large Dragon Knight was started by a "Chronos Vanreicht" and edited with permission. Jouster(bottom right) uses the salvaged Cav revamp as a base.
  4. Most proud? oh man that's hard... So many come to mind but in the end I have to say- My first battlesprite to have a complete set of animations and three weapons to boot. (normal, crit, ranged, ranged crit, dodge X3 =15 + unarmed dodge: 16, + map sprite, up, down, side, idle, focus= 21 unique animations)
  5. I don't know very much about map sprites so I'll let someone else cover that. Your primary problem is pillow shading. That and an overuse of the outline color. Try referencing these. You'll notice that the lightest shade of cloak goes up to the edge whereas your's has a bunch of shading in between. For the tunic, there seems to be a lot of banding going on. Think about where the center of each object is and that's primarily where the lightest tones should be found. (at least if the object is curved) You could probably also make the darkest pants/tunic and hair shades just a little darker for a little more contrast. Also your palette shows 15 colors but you say it only has 14? Overall it looks really nice: I like the design. Keep it up! (I'm not too good at explaining but I can show you a few tweaks, if you don't mind)
  6. Good eye Agro, I used Blender, turned of anti-aliasing, set all materials to shadeless, and made the render dimensions super small. Then I pulled up an old model, changed a few colors, gave him a quick animation and voila!
  7. @Agro- Oh, you thought that was a tail? hmm... @Prime- The head is the only thing I really worked on. @Rubidium- I made him for the BBSS and then added the rest of the body just for fun. Smo0O0oth.
  8. Triple Post. I'm unstoppable! I might have gotten a little carried away.
  9. "...Hello." "H̜̠̟̦͜e̩͈̬ll̝o̫̭͍͙̘̖ ҉̩͍͍̫̜͈̜s̙̗̲̳̦͢m҉̣͚͖̝̱a͇̼̰̪͞ĺ̫͉̟̣̙͔l̜̪̻̥̲ ̪͔̻͠ǫ̻̞n̰e̘͠.̢͕̩"
  10. Animation is started. Ignore the legs and return frames. :) Look at the legs if you want. I'm not the police. and with some help from Errant, the Lancer is more proportionate and now he looks...decent.
  11. Made some refinements. Trim on the collar and the far pauldron is still a little bit off.
  12. "D'unna know how I get these here scars?" "What'cha so serious fer?"
  13. Why do you think the cloth is so long? Merc likes them!! Thank you :) @Errant- I tried some of your critiques. hopefully that looks less... phallic
  14. ....Dayam that's impressive, although incredibly custom. I don't know that the host has ever had to call one out for over-customing before. Let's hope you're not the first :)
  15. I'm glad you guys like them! :) I've been on a roll! I made all these today. All are full custom except the ninja that uses Lyn's blade lord as a base. LtoR: Outlaw, Gladiator, Ninja, Champion, Lancer.
  16. Ear at the eyebrow only works for straight on faces, this guy's is tilted quite a bit. Here's some other FE characters with different angles and the reference I was using plus more hair detailing. just curl everything Nevertheless I see your point and raised it a bit. Perhaps that is more believable? New archer/thief class I call "Outlaw".
  17. A quick google search brings up these. The style is close and I bet they're the best you'll find. [spoiler=Lyn] [spoiler=Tiki] [spoiler=Roy]
  18. Gone for a week. How did you survive without me? XD wore armor before it was cool splice comp entry. Theme is dragonslayer so I went with viking. birb
  19. Hard set for faces so I went with something pretty simple.
  20. Yes! I made it back in time to finish. :)
  21. clockwise: original, Lenh's improved hair, my improvements to Yasako's, Yasako's.
  22. Help appreciated. This stupid braid doesn't want to work. also which of these look the best? I tried out some more FE-style eyes in 2 & 3. The rest are mostly nose changes.
