Astra's Lump of Sprites

[AstraLunaSol]

Because your sprites suck a bit less than the first one ALS made over an year ago?

It gives him motivation to go over the shitty bar I just gave him.

Also

Remade Toona.

And

Prince Ivan.

[Chalis]

The left area above Raven's eye seems kinda dark. Is there anyway you could lighten it up a bit?

Other than that- even if I said it before- DAT IVAN.

Yes.

The center bang on Toona looks really weird. Also the hair on the right side of the head. It transitions from hair to skin weirdly.

[Nanami Touko]

I completely disagree with the center bang looking weird.

And, that's an ear XD

EDIT: Whoops, you meant non-OPV. It could use a little more of the darker shade.

I'm late as hell, but holy crap, a GUNDAM, Astra??

Oh, oh, I can answer this!

There was a mech fad on FEND. Everyone was doing robots. ALS did the Freedom, and others like Aeo did the Shining Gundam, TBA did Tekkaman, etc, etc. I did Combattler V XD

So, yeah.

FUCK YEAH...

I should clean that up.

And as Trent said, you missed the Giant Robot fad at FEND :<

Christmas Kaito for FEEF Christmas comp.

There's not much shading on the hair under the hat.

I would also contend that the bend in the Santa Hat seems a bit off. From the experience of wearing one just last night, it tends to fall about as parallel to the body as it can get. I think the reason why the bend seems off is that the hat might be a bit more miniaturized than it needs to be. (Plus, no fur? *shot*)

[prompto]

I told you- /shot

Something more like that except, you know... that as crappy as my edit. ;w;''

Otherwise, I don't really have any complaints besides the hat~ except for where's the antlers D:>

[AstraLunaSol]

Kinda edited it and forgot to post it. XD

Oh shit I forgot about those.

[prompto]

Oh shit I forgot about those.

Oh, really? Looks five billion times better than what I did, so good~ 8D

/patpat

Not like it's needed, but it's make it a bit more interesting I think.

[AstraLunaSol]

I hate Miku's hair.

So

Damn

Much.

Not among your best work, I gotta say.

[Ansem]

amelia's is better

like way better

[Nanami Touko]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.

Sorry, Dan :<

[Lord Glenn]

You guys could be a little more helpful and descriptive, you know. Like answering the following: "Why is Amelia's (subjectively) better?", "What could be done to improve this one?", and so on.

Personally, I can't see anything wrong with the image. Amelia's is nice, yes, but honestly, I'm not sure why y'all are making such a big deal between the two. Heck, it looks like they're not even using the same reference image for the sprites, given the slight angle in Amelia's. Plus, different stylistic approaches and stuff. (Yes, comparison is always subjective, but come on...)

Anyway, if I did potentially see any areas of improvement, Miku's face might be a bit too round, given FE-centered styling and you might consider adding some shading detail to the hair to spice it up a bit.

[Nanami Touko]

The bang in the middle of her face needs to be less long, and not go so far down the face, and the pigtails still feel flat to me. I dunno why.

I like Amelia's more because of the hair, and because it looks more like Miku, to me, which they were trying to sprite.

Happy, Josh? ;3

EDIT: after giving it a little zoom, yes, the face is a bit too round.

I told you so.

...Miku looks sleepy. She needs a nap. AKA fix those damn eyes. Really.

@Trent: Pillow shading everywhere.

K, back to being dead.

Also, for what it's worth, I can see the trim on her hair really badly. Like, compared to Kaito, the trim on that Miku mug is glaringly obvious. I have no idea how to fix that, and I have no idea if that's even a mistake or not, but oh well.

...eeeer

Your eyes creep the crap out of me. >_> Like, they aren't shaped FE style, exactly, and they don't reflect Miku's character very well. I told you this already oh well.

mmkay

Fixed the roundness. No idea about the hair..

Different references and crap.

I know. Fixing it, pissed off by it. >:

@Astra: That random black thing around her hair and head or whatever. I assume it's called trim, I have no idea whether it's called that or pillow shading, or something else entirely.

[peener weener]

Outline, silly.

[Jaybee]

I've never heard that term before in MSN chats with Astra and Amelia, so whatever~
