Thor Odinson Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Alright. I'll go do that. I've been hearing this term "pillow shading", but I don't get what it means, care to explain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstraLunaSol Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) hmm. Let's use my newly completed mug for this: The left is Pillow shading, the right is not, while yours wasn't full on pillow shading, it looked that way because of it's shape. Pillowing is when you stack colors on colors, when you don't need to. Edited September 1, 2010 by MeteorLunarSolar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Ah, thanks for the explanation. I get it now. Anyway, SM!Seth, third edition, still open to criticism. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Something Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 That's pretty good. Can Seth wield the Balmung now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Uh. . .oops? Ah, well, it looks pretty good! Glad I was able to inspire you to put a lot of awesomeness into your favorite character!

Thor Odinson Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Anyway, this is partially a request and partially something I wanted to challenge myself with. I present: MIST. But since I don't particularly want to see how bad I am at customing, and neither am I particularly acquainted with Tellius sprites , I spliced her out of GBA people. Guess who I used as a base. First one is Mist in her RD clothing, and second is Swordmaster!Mist, like ERL wanted. Feel free to point out any errors, and I will do my best to fix them.

eclipse Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Mist's sideburns look a little off, but I don't know why (sorry, but I really suck at art). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) I stole those from Eirika. Maybe Joshie's would do better? I don't know Tellius characters too well, so forgive me for any issues I may have while making them.

AstraLunaSol Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Marisa base, right? Anyway, it's actually not that bad sprite wise. I've seen worse customs. First off, eyes, the eye color probably could use more contrast between the shades. Also, NEVER use the outline color for the shading under the eyes they're too dark, if you're gonna do that, use the darkest/2nd darkest skin tone. Also, you might want to rip the pallet of a Female FE8 character, since the skin pallet is a bit messed up, the nose could use a bit of defining, but I think that'll come along with the better skin tone. Also, the shoulder/arm could use a bit of work with the shading. Pretty good for custom work though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 It's actually a massive splice of death where I used too many people that it now looks like a custom. Marisa was the body base for the SM one, but not the regular one. And~I'll be on my way to fixing. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Ah. Well, ALS is very experienced in this field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEST TRYNDAMERE PLAYER Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 BUT I WANT WORLD DOMINATION~ Sorry, world domination is reserved for me. Mac doesn't have Paint. Mac can't use Paint.NET. Mac can't use Usenti. Mac sucks. 8D Mac can't run most online games either so that's a big negative for me. I need people to rage at me when I beat them in games.

Thor Odinson Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) You take Europe/Americas and I'll take Asia, deal? I only play FE so online games I don't care about that much. All I need is my Photoshop and free Dictionary and FRIGGIN' GARAGE BAND. And Dreamweaver, but that came with Photoshop along with my 3280860286 Adobe programs. <3 <3 <3 Edited September 2, 2010 by Luminescent Blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds fair to me, but who will take over Africa. Sometimes playing with other people can be entertaining, though. Although the problem is finding good games nowadays and having to wait multiple months for the next game I plan to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) Edit: fixed things according to ALS's suggestions. ALS, if you have anything else, please tell me. Sounds fair to me, but who will take over Africa. Sometimes playing with other people can be entertaining, though. Although the problem is finding good games nowadays and having to wait multiple months for the next game I plan to play. I dunno. We'll leave Africa for later. I suppose, but seeing that I have a lot of art/graphic work/homework to be done, and I'm already on SF/playing FE so much... If only the day was longer.

AstraLunaSol Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Edit: fixed things according to ALS's suggestions. ALS, if you have anything else, please tell me. That actually looks a lot better. 1 last thing, the far eye is using a bit too much of the border color, give it a bit more of the eye color. also, the non-SM ones arms....they aren't shaded right, they look wrinkled.>w> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) Oh, That. That's the sleeves. If you look up Mist's outfit in RD, that's what it is. I can't get the whole sleeve in because Mist is short. And back to Photoshop again~ Edit: Fix'd~~ Edited September 2, 2010 by Luminescent Blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Rey León Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 :wub: Those look wonderful! Thank you LB! I'm not experienced with spriting yet so I can't offer constructive criticism, but it looks fine to me. :3 Is that the final product or do you feel you need to tweak it more?

Thor Odinson Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Unless ALS has more things to point out, those should be the final product. :3 Thanks~ <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Rey León Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Ah, it fits great and doesn't make me look fat. I can never thank you enough, LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 No problems. :3 It gave me a change to really get a good practice making sprites, so I'm glad I did this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Mac doesn't have Paint. Mac can't use Paint.NET. Mac can't use Usenti. Mac sucks. 8D Mac needs none of these. Macs are great, but I'd need at least one PC. Just for versatility's sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
