Your larger sprite works are really quite awesome. I love the detailing on Doma so far, and Celica and Alm both look great so far too. (especially like Celica's hair) Only thing I really notice is Alm's face doesn't look quite right to me, like his mouth doesn't match the intensity of his eyes. Looks amazing so far!

These aren't too shabby! That said i do have some thoughts. Mug1: He looks like he has a very large top half of his head, and his ear is enormously high up. Either his face is too low on his head, or his hair should be moved down. The body is pretty nice, though the near shoulder looks to be shaded a bit too roundly. Mug2: The face, especially the nose doesn't look quite right. Mug3: He has pretty chunky hair, and the fur doesn't look fluffy enough for its volume. I like the armor shoulder Mug 4: His hair is even worse, very flat and chunky Mug5: This guy looks pretty good. Only weak parts I see are the clasp and shoulder pad side of the cape, it looks less voluminous in those areas than over the other shoulder. I'd say overall your biggest problems are in hair. The first one looks overcomplicated and has some chunky lines and some nonsensical lines, especially back behind the ear. The second could use some smoother lines. The third is too "round" I guess. The hair looks really round and chunky instead of looking like hair. The 4th one it doesn't look like you tried on the hair. The last one's hair is pretty good, not overcomplicated and the lines are pretty smooth.

This is a subforum within creative, the creative parent forum is much broader

I'll join. I might prerecord because my February is packed.

it is against the end of the year? Does this presentation have any content, anything you can show us? And if you're showing off Fire Emblem, why don't you want to show off how the art styles have evolved?

Didn't you already make one of these topics for awakening style portraits? What is this presentation?

black and... green?

You're still doing the nose thing. The hair is really weird, I realize you're going for the 80s hair they had in 4, but it's pretty weird looking. His part needs to be moved farther to our left as his head, his head is too short where he doesn't have super floof hair. The split also goes way too high up his forehead. The body and armor is really messy, the perpective is hard to read, his near pauldron looks straight on but then his body is ay an angle that the chestplate doesn't really reflect very well. The trim isn't shaded properly, on a lot of it the top edge has darker shading than the bottom which is the opposite of what it should be. Your eyes are pretty good

Marx and Camilla's heads are too small, I think the others are close, I haven't checked though. I might work on them more if I get into a fates mood. [spoiler=year in review] I made 2 because I can. Some of the battlesprites have been nudged to fill the calendar a bit better (a bunch were made on like the 30th of their month) Now bask in the glory of my handwriting!

Just making the hair messy doesn't make it good, it just goes every which way for no reason, and the parts that go over her shoulders look tacked on. By no means my best work, still needs a lot of work, just tried to calm it down. Also made the face more feminine. You're trying way too hard to make it detailed and its working against you.

Your noses are really bad, they shouldn't just be a line in the middle of the face.

1/2 christmas cav?

The face's proportions are all out of whack, nose is definitely too long, mouth is a lil small, eyes don't look like they're in the right place. The gold part of the shoulder armor has weird bends and dips that don't make sense, straighten it out. His cape should really be under the pauldron.

I'm pretty sure she already isn't wearing pants. Her arms are pretty thick and stocky and her hands are kinda derp, but hands are a bitch. Her shoulders look too broad compared to her body, her back needs to be pushed back a bit and her arm needs to come in closer. The breastplate looks odd, I think the breasts are too high. I would make her stance a little more close-legged, like in her OA.

Fates mugs. Leon's hair is still a bit of a WIP. I've updated Camilla's body since the original I made in April. Debating whether or not to do Elise, probably won't. Here's the other two for the full set: Twitch vod of me working on Gunther and Leon. http://www.twitch.tv/serenesspritingstreams/v/30947840

Pink background Lyn is AthenaWyrm's. I don't really know what you intended that Lyn sprite to be but it turned out as a worse version of vanilla...

"But moooom, I've never even played Xenoblade!" "Shut up, this is what you're doing!" ...I'm really feeling it.

something quick

This is me I am a smash bro now My name isn't very good for this is it? this youtube channel has videos of me spriting on it, go check it out! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkPaZbiQRzumUHPI7fZAnEQ/featured Sometimes I live stream, you should check that out too! http://www.twitch.tv/serenesspritingstreams/v/28140315

I'm going to be streaming shortly, come check it out http://www.twitch.tv/serenesspritingstreams EDIT : All done

Should've gone with red and green team holiday colors :P

THEME/TOPIC: End of the Line: Sprite a final boss-type character Example: [spoiler=Rules] RULES: 1) only 1 entry per contestant, either in the Full Custom division or in the Splice/Edit division.(Animated may be a division if enough entries are in to justify it) -Please declare which division you fall under to avoid potential confusion. 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=NEW 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: 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. [spoiler=list of sample themes] Avatar Adventures! Sprite your avatar. Man/Woman in the Mirror!
