    So I've left Donny for now, and I'm working on sprites for my Hack: A Sleight of Hand (going VERY slowly, it'll pick up once the school year is over though.

    I've got four characters done and I'm working on my fifth.

    1Piers.png

    This is Piers, he was a farm worker (or maybe a house builder? I dunno, he was something boring) before he got drafted. Eventually he'll lead the Kino Resistance Army with Remie. Oh, and he's a solider.

    2PiersNormalClothes.png

    This is how he appears in the first scene and probably a couple scenes throughout.

    Tyler.png

    This is Tyler, he's a mercenary. He meets up with Piers early on.

    Henry.png

    This is Tyler's friend, Henry. He's a mage.

    Commander.png

    This is Piers' commanding officer. He's sad cause he killed a lot of people. You'll might get him late game, not sure yet, he may just die.

    Remiewip4.png

    This is the beginning of Remie. He's a scholar (custom class) who lives in Westover, his father basically started the war. You act as him in multiple levels until he meets up with Piers. I'm not sure about his hair, I thought I didn't like, then I changed his pallet and now I'm not sure.

    So any critique on any of the characters would be nice (specially Henry and Remie). Also, is Tyler's head too small?

    Alright, so I apologize for being so vague. I hadn't really thought anything through all the way yet, I also wasn't really sure how much detail to include.

    So, story:

    The game opens in the Republic of Kino, a country run by a coalition of of 'Committees' (the War Committee, Health Committee, Public Relations, etc.). Kino has recently been invaded by their northern neighbors, the Enterians. The Enterians forced their way down and took the capital of Kino, and now Kino is launching a counter strike that is going generally horrible. So Kino begins a draft and starts taking children from families to fight in the war. The main character, Piers, is one of the people forced to fight. The game is going to show alternating chapters of Piers, a common solider, and then Remie, the son of the head of the War Committee.

    Also occurring at this time, Kino's eastern neighbors, Neton, are experiencing a very suspicious civil war. Through a series of detective work and fights, Remie will discover some bad things about the war council. This will happen while Piers observes first hand what the army is doing to citizens and how poorly it is being run. The two will meet up a little over halfway through the game, Remie having deserted his father, Piers having deserted the army. Once together the two will begin a revolution with the help of the Neton's and try to over throw the Committees.

    Now the characters:

    I have permission from Khrene Cleaver to use his/her (sorry) halberdier class that actually uses an ax.

    I intend on making a better less giant version of the fighter as well as the druid.

    The Scholar class will be a Remie custom class. It will be a stronger version of a Mage and possibly use dark magic as well as light. Its promote will be some governmental thing that will have the dance ability, I haven't quite thought out that part quite so much yet.

    The Acrobat class will use knives and have a larger movement range than the thief. It will have a higher attack and speed, but lower health and skill than the thief. It will promote to the Trickster, a sword wielding class. Stronger and faster than the assassin but with less skill and with the Rogue ability to pick locks.

    As for your fears about the maps being sucky, I don't think I'm bad at mapping, not great, but not bad, though I do plan on using some already existing maps to speed up the hacking process. Also, if you could point out any mistakes you see on the map that would be great (though that isn't the entire map).

    Thank you.

    So, I finally got around to starting a hack again. My first chapter is done and the second map is inserted.

    Here's the basis of the story: You start with a soldier, Piers, that was recruited by the Nicians to fight in their army. It will quickly become apparent that the world is essentially going to shit and the politicians are all corrupt. Piers will ditch the war and then start trying to stop the politicians with help from people in every country.

    What I plan to do:

    New world map

    New battle maps

    Halberdier class

    Different Fighter and Warrior sprite

    Different Druid sprite

    Possible Scholar class

    Possible Trickster class

    Possibly add monsters

    And now screen shots!

    Okay, so I brightened the colors more like that. You were definitely right, comparing it to other FE mugs it looks really dull. I also played around with the eyes some more

    Eventually I might go and make an Engineer class to go along with Perry. And if I do ever finish both of those, I'll make a Platypus-bear as Perry's promotion.

    Also, I got the colors down to sixteen, kept the pot greenish, got the spearhead a bit better, and fixed up his right (our POV left) eye.

    The base of it was a resize of his FE13 portrait, but I redid a lot of the shading and some parts of his outline. I'll see what I can do with the colors. And the pot had to become silver or copper if I wanted to keep it at 16 colors; I'll probably go back and make a version with the pot as the normal greenish color too.

    Update:

    So I made the helmet green and the blues more blue-ish, and then I changed around his eyes and face shading a bit, still not playing around with the neck yet though. And I hate that stupid spear head, I can't get it right.

    Also a new sprite I just started:

    So everyone else was making them, so I figured I'd try one too. This is the sixteen color version, I still want to go in and touch up the spear tip as well as the shaft. How should I shade the neck? I tried to do how it was in his FE13 portrait, but I'm not sure it worked.

    Updated version:

    Still not sure about the neck and the spear head only looks slightly better.

    Okay, yea, I was trying to make the beginning of a cobble stone road but I'll have to mess around with it some. And yea, I was afraid about that with the river thing. I noticed that after I finished and was too lazy to fix it.

    And also, reworking my personal sprite.

    old on the right, wip on the left.

    UPDATE:

    Oh my god, did I just make decent custom hair? Someone tell me, I can't tell.

    New stuff, decided to make a personal sprite, the base is on the left. How do you custom hair?

    Wip1.png

    EDIT

    So I tried making the hair, turned out surprisingly well. Not good, but better than I thought it would be. I could really use some help on this. Also touched up the eyes, mouth, and made the body a bit wider and neck a bit thinner.
