[I made a sprite of myself as a character]

I cannot figure out what's wrong with it. I repainted the entire thing with very bright and contrasting colors and counted only 16. If the 17th color that FEBuilder says exists was a snake I'd be dying of venom poisoning right now.

Whenever I put it into FEBuilder and make it reduce the amount of colors to 16 I just get this.

I think I got it in a GBA acceptable format, would this work or did I mess it up somehow?

It's not, his head is too far to the right, gonna have to work on that.

Got him to blink, just like you're manually doing now.

That's a very nice portrait!
I'm sure you'll do great with more practice! Keep up the good work :3

Thank you too. I'm going to start working on animating it today now that I'm done with everything I have to do today.

Wish me luck!

Thank you, and thanks for the info.

As you could probably see by my profile pic, I'm a bit proud of this as my first FE sprite that I sorta made.

By "sorta made" I mean I pretty much spliced some sprites together with a good amount of editing. Here's the original.

I took colors from FE7 Zephiel and Haussen, I used Beyard as a format at first and his scarf, I used Dorcas and Matthew's hair, and I used Bartre's shirt and nose.

Although the sprite is pretty much just a Frankenstein's monster of sprites from FE7, I hope I can revisit it when I learn how to do real spritework and possibly fill out the format in the spriter's resource thread.
