Why'd you pick no you dastard TT_TT Looks cool, the changing music stuff is awesome.

It looks awesome, the only thing that I don't like is the stray collection of pixels on the base of his neck, they seem a little weird to me.

Ummm maybe? Iirc Isaac had shorter/spikier hair, he looks more like a blond Felix IMO. Tried making some smaller maps, hopefully they don't look too terrible XD. No castle ones cause I really couldn't make one that was smaller than 20x20 and looked halfway decent.

Soo I'm just pointing out things I think look off/weird map by map, but all of them looks really cool overall. Obviously I don't expect you to go and fix all of these just wanted to point them out.

Thank you, Midnight, that was actually a map I just made because Sqawl jokingly said to make a castle with a river running through it XD. @ShinyPichu: I started makign a few smaller maps, once I have some more done I'll post them. And yeah, the first three maps have a bunch of problems, I actually made them as one big map to get some practice after a long break, but I decided to split it into 3 so that it looks like I did more work XD.

Umm I'd say A? Though I think it might look better if you tried to switch the pattern/tile used room by room instead of just using one or placing stone tiles in some places like in A.

Ummm basically I thought Devourer of Worlds was cool? Then I joined FES, started making maps since it looks like the easiest form of spriting/making things for hacks, then read the UT to learn how to insert and basically left there since I can't figure out what I actually want to do in a hack. Oh and I joined FES first since it seemed like the more relaxed place at the time, eventually joined SF so I could post some hacking questions.

Ummmmmm what?

New Stuff dump: Bad mugs that you can't unsee: Decent-ish Maps:

That looks awesome! Though for some reason it reminds me of a dance move? or maybe a "Stop fighting!" moment where the character both of the people fighting care about dies.

Bloodlines will never be the same.

So I think this mug is just amazing, but is that thing on the left his shoulder or does he have like a spike coming out of his chest?

So I wanted to give feedback about this dude, and why I htink you should stop complaining about your sprite losing but, to not derail the contest even more I decided to post it here. First off, the good stuff: Ok so it looks decent, that's a plus already, overall the sprite is pretty good. The zebra's stripes are very cool and I haven't seen a picture of a zebra recently, but I see it and I think "Zebra", so props for making it instantly recognizable. Now the.. it's not really bad stuff, just why I think you should stop complaining about you're sprite not wining. 1. It's EXACTLY the same angle as the nomad, now this is kinda unavoidable as someone in the contest thread already said, it being a horse and all, but still it's a "flaw" of the sprite compared to the other two entries, the "green blob" as you called it looks sturdier, thicker, I actually thought it was a moose, not a horse the first time I saw it. The pig is also different from most FE mounts, I think the shading could use some work but it still looks different, it looks... not original, because the zebra is pretty original, but it doesn't necessarily remind me of something I've seen in an FE game while still making me thinkg of FE... That is really badly worded, I'm trying to say that they feel like FE sprites, but they don't instantly remind me of another FE sprite. In your case I'm instantly reminded of the Nomad. It's basically the same as when I took the Mage Knight Sprite and changed some colors around to make the palette look cooler. 2. IMO they are more creative than yours, though everyone said that's a matter of opinion bla bla bla, this is just mine. 3. Ok this one is important, and if you decide to start being in the contests again (since you apparently quit based on a post in that thread), it doesn't matter which sprite you think is the best. It matter which sprite the majority of the voters think is the best (I personally agree with them), but saying "I don't think my sprite is any worse than the other two", doesn't the voters minds. It's possible that your sprite is just as technically good or even better than the other sprites and they just found the others more entertaining/interesting (a TEB map contest springs to mind, were Cedar won with one of the worst technical maps I've seen but it was frickin' hilarious XD). Point it, OK think that your sprite is just as good as the other 2 but that won't change the voting. If you want to figure out why the voters think it's worse, LISTEN to them, don't just ignore their comments. 4. This is isn't really a problem since I think you already did it, but listen to that Eliwan dude/dudette (profile doesn't say) he was making alot of sense. 5. Oh and what Ghast said about you putting minimal effort, I don't have any way of confirming or denying this, but looking at all three of the sprites, I would think that you put in the least amount of effort. One last thing, I don't really get what I'm supposed to do with this image since you said it's old, am I supposed to critique it or what?

Looks good, though some something about the left (our POV) cheek is off... Maybe it's just me. The robe/dress/armor/I-have-no-idea-what-that-is-but-it looks cool. Hey it's the face I helped fix. This is the woman from Tactics Ogre right? Finish it already XD Looks awesome so far, cept for this , that looks weird. Best sprite in this thread, 10/10.

Thanks for listening Oreo, I think Rai and Andros look way better now. Luck with the hack :) I know, Ain't I awesome?

Sorry to sound like an asshole, but I REALLY want you to change thee horse's armor. This is really a missed opportunity, and that blue just looks very boring IMO. At least make it a different shade of blue if you actually want it to look blue so that it will look different. Also this isn't as bad but Andros' (Andros's?) bow color is also bugging me, I don't think that it fits with his clothes, though that is a lot less pressing. Luck with the hack, bai.

So is there gonna be another one of these?

What the hell? I don't really care much about this news since, like Blazer I don't really like most of the original FEs (except 4 the story in that game is awesome). Saying that me or someone else is not a "real" fan of Fire Emblem when we don't care much about this guy, who didn't work on any of the games that I and many others grew to love Fire Emblem with (FE7, FE8, FE9 and FE10), is just... really fucking insulting.

Looks cool, does it take place on Earth or is Phonecia based on Phoenicia? P.S. So umm sorry to be that guy but you're placing this tile backwards:

Kon already mentioned this but I'm gonna say it anyway since I feel that most people who make dogish/catish sprites for FE use the Mauthe Doog for a base. The Mauthe Doog is a Corpse with skin on it. It literally has no muscle. The fact that you use the Mauthe Doog and don't really add any width or space for muscle is what, IMO at least, makes them all look really skinny and flat. See how the fox Kon posted on the previous page has curves on his(?) legs and a bit of a hunch from the muscles on his back and the transition to his neck? Meanwhile yours has a plain bat and has almost no neck (Personally I think that the Fox is the best sprite, maybe beaten by the wolf, that you have in that "update" you posted, since it actually has some curves which could be seen as muscle). Another thing that makes Kon version look better is that it actually has more than just burnt orange for a color; even if the Laguz from PoR and RD do that doesn't mean you have to, especially if it looks better with more colors (I at least think it does). Someone already mentioned this but look at how the animals actually look before deciding how to position them, it doesn't have to be the same but you can't have them all in the same pose/stance just because it's convenient. And since no one else seems to have said it yet (at least that I've seen sorry if I missed it) THESE ARE NOT TWO DIFFERENT SPRITES: Yes that was all caps because you could maybe post it once and say that if you use this palette it could be a Coyote but presenting them each time as something completely different is almost silly. Same goes for the small differences between the Lion, Tiger and Cat. (The Mauthe Doog could be a good base for the Coyote now that I think about it, since they are pretty thin iirc). If any of this seems to be insulting to you you think too highly of yourself. The point of all these people telling you that something is wrong with your work means either A. You are doing something completely different than what they think you are doing. OR B. There is something wrong with your work. Given that you are making Fire Emblem GBA Sprites, and most of the poeple who have posted here are Fire Emblem GBA Spriters, YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO THEM! In case you still don't get the big points I'm trying to make here: 1. DON'T I reapeat DON'T Use the Mauthe Doog as a base (Sans Coyote, might work there) 2. LISTEN to what other people have to say. 3. And this third one was more implied than said but remake all the Laguz. They are all the smae basic Sprite and you won't be losing much progress, you'll probably get better by doing this than by trying to make those sprites look good. P.S. No the fact that no one mentioned that this wasn't a bad sprite doesn't mean that it was a good sprite. When you make something good people will tell you. I give it a 4/10, the rider is terribly small, most of the wyverns body is pillow shaded, and (though this isn't a direct criticism of the sprite since you might be remaking every one of these, though your post didn't seem to indicate that) the style isn't even vaguely similar to all of the other FE Class Cards, making it look even more jarring when placing inside the Class Card Box IMO.

Actually FE8 has a bunch of cliff errors. And I was serious about the Eternal Bond question, can it be nominated or not?

-Best Project of the Quarter: FE: Bloodlines -Best Animations: FE: Bloodlines -Best Plot: Midnight Sun -Best Music: Can Eternal Bond be nominated for this even if it doesn't have a patch? (if it does someone link it pls) -Best Map Design: I nominate Fire Emblem 7 OR alternatively Project Chaos Mode

Yep, brigdes are allowed. By no buildings I meant: - No caslte/fort Tiles - No village Tiles - No ruin Tiles - No single House Tiles - in case I missed something, literally no buildings (brigdes aren't technically buildings) P.S. If anyone's still confused I'll take a tileset and scratch out what tiles you can't use, when I get to a computer.

Prime gets it. Errant: Thanks, though I have no idea what that reference is/means, and good luck in the next contest. Kitty: I'll PM you in a bit, unless my internet crashes again (which is actually a real possibility XD).

I'm sorry but who are we kidding. Clearly the guy who made Ephraim out of that Jeigan sprite should be the winner.
