Optional Theme: I Cast a Spell On You
Deadline: Monday July 17th, 2017
----
Competition Rules:
Spoiler- The contest theme is optional. The theme is provided as an additional option and is not mandatory.
- No large "full custom" (made from scratch) areas, parts, or pieces. The final result should be made of and identifiable to areas from the source mugs. If you feel like your entry may be considered "questionable" to others, you are allowed to post work-in-progress screenshots or other visual proof of your process.
- Only use the given set of mugs; other mugs are not allowed. You may, however, elect to use fewer than the amount of given mugs. (Ex: 4 mugs are given, but you only use 3.)
- Recommended color limit: 16 (15 on your mug +1 for background). This is rule is flexible, but being cautious with your color count as a general rule of thumb for good pixel art. You are allowed to deviate from the standard FE color choices if you wish to do so, as well.
- Don't vote for yourself, or I will cry sad tears devoid of mod power. Seriously, if you think none of the other entries are worth a vote, please select the "abstain vote" option.
- Hosts may enter contests As a public poll is used as the voting platform, hosts receive no benefits or unfair advantages from running the contest.
- Only 1 entry per member. However, you may edit your entry while the contest is still active. Please edit your first post, or quote the most recent entry you wish you submit for clarification, or the wrong entry may be submitted for voting.
VOTING:
A public poll (users can view voted results) will be put up once the entry period has ended.
Voting consists of 2 categories: 'Best in Theme' (single choice) and 'Favorites' (multiple choice).
'Winner' is the popular vote for 'Best in Theme' and the runners-up are taken from the most popular two from both voting categories. If there is overlap (e.g. 2nd place is the same participant for both categories), a weighted average of the total votes will determine the remaining runner-ups.
The winner of the contest will choose the next theme and a mug, and runners-up will choose the remaining mugs once the theme has been decided. If you have been selected to choose a mug for the next set, please try to limit choices to actual portraits and not shopkeepers, blank/placeholders, or dragon Idoun.
PARTICIPATION NOTES:
In the past, there has been a lot of conflict surrounding what does and doesn't constitute proper splicing techniques. This is not the venue to repeat that argument (if you're interested in it, please look at old rounds between 50 and 65). Please remember to allow participants the freedom to experiment and find their comfort zone in splicing. Give them votes when you believe they're successful, but do not use their entry as a platform to tell the world what you don't like.
If you have any questions or concerns, please PM the current host. -
Pick one or two, if you could. Four's too many.

What parts did you use for #1, out of curiosity?

Edging out of a close race, Waleed's
wins Best in Theme!
Blaze's and Kratos Aurion's entries tie each other for Popular Choice with 80% favorability.
Kudos to all who entered and participated!

Another game, another guy in black armor. Also SF won't let me sneak around and edit first post without marking it unread anymore :c

Last day to enter~

I've always used these templates, where the blinks and mouth frames align with the checkerbox (but don't overlap). (Format wise the final image needs to be within 15 colors + transparent.)

Hello!~ ^^
That's some pretty nice stuff you have there; always nice to see a variation different from the traditional FE style. Lily and Niko are probably my faves out of the bunch both graphically and BG-wise. (Here's to hoping Keyes gets a chair.)

And a quick derp to start

Which Sunday?
Fire Emblem: Conquest of the Five Kingdoms Sprite Gallery
in Sprites
Posted
- Sain's face, Lloyd's chest, Whatshisface's hair and slightly altered armor. For the quantity of sprites you made the bar's higher and you could try and get out of the comfort zone/easy level of face/hair/body a little more. Particularly the face is worth altering a little, since this splice just says edgelord Sain right now.
- Black spots on the hair don't work.
- Stray browns on the jacket collar near the belt. Either get rid of those or incorporate that color into the rest of the jacket.
- Breastplate collar doesn't wrap around the neck and is asymmetrical.
- Shading on the jacket is uggs/pillow shading on the circled area in particular. Part to blame on the vanilla source, part to blame for selecting colors with a higher contrast that really accentuates it. Same could be said for the purple.
- Darkest brown and dark grey are very similar but underutilized as subtle color-shift shading, which aside from straight laziness or palette swapping ease would be your only reason for keeping two similar colors without just crushing them. You could really use the extra color to push depth on the jacket.
- Color scheme is pasty skin, yellowy-desat brown, red-brown, blue-purple, and blue-grey? There's no real harmony in it so it looks over-busy/confused, and with so many colors a lot of them are flat, when you could have fewer with more depth/shading.
- Bad seam /missing eyebrow
- The trim on the breastplate irks me, might be b/c shading on the actual metal is flat.
- Who wears armor under their jacket. I see you expanded Lloyd's original width to cover the additional padding it'd have, but still I feel it's questionable design.
- Collar isn't aliased with the neck
(The royal We will) start with the one and see what you do from there.
