Goddamn, Lumi. That's... amazing.

[peener weener]

:'D

[Amelia]

OMG Lumi.... You beat me, Astra, and Reaper! ;___;

It's... beautiful.

[AstraLunaSol]

Yeah

Just

What

Nice one.

[Kanami]

To be completely honest, I really can't say the face and hair are that great. The face in particular doesn't stand out to me at all, but maybe that's just my personal preference. The accessories and body however look great. Especially impressed with the katana.

Being a flamer, I'd say the place I dislike the most (think looks wrong) is the hair on the far right. (Beside the shoulders, beneath the Katana) That region looks ugly regardless of preference IMO.

[Thor Odinson]

Kanami, maybe I should start full customing.

The parts you bashed on are the original spliced parts, and all the parts you liked are customed.

[Kanami]

Maybe you should? Not something I'm willing to make a decision on. But personally I think you're ready to attempt it.

That said, the face doesn't stand out due to personal preference, and it resembles an existing FE character too much for my liking. Everything except the bottom right hair is preference I think (as I said). That corner is a ghastly splice if it's a splice :P

(EDIT: There's even a second hair shade stray pixel outside the borderlining there XD)

In slight relation

I think Astra customs better then he splices. And I know a few great spriters who customed first, then tried splicing so one doesn't always come before the other.

Nah. The hair down there was my attempt at using a curler on her hair and failed.

Though, I was always much better at drawing straight hair than curly hair. Curled hair are almost as nightmarish to draw as feet.

The face was made of a combination of Marisa and Syrene in the original. I dunno if I'm allowed to change the base for the contest, or I'll probably custom a new version of my personal mug, keeping the same body angle, and re-submit it.

But eh. The original has to be noticeable, so if I can't change the base mug, I'm afraid I can't do much to the face.

[AstraLunaSol]

If you want to make a new personal mug for the contest, you have a day to do so.

[Thor Odinson]

I will do that.

[Thor Odinson]

Update: Actually, I think I'll keep my entry how it is, except I'm going to fix the hair a bit. I'm not too confident on my customing ability in facial features, and this is taking too long.

I will, however, finish my custom personal sometimes.

So here's a WIP.

[AstraLunaSol]

See? Told you you'd be able to custom quick because you have previous drawing skills. :P

Looking good so far, though you might as well cover the back of the neck my making the hair that falls down a bit thicker to cover it.

[Thor Odinson]

Will do.

It's still pretty annoying to do, though.

And facial features. >____<

It's pretty hard to draw in such small spaces. I'm more used to working with 1000 + px canvases.

[AstraLunaSol]

Just ref off previously existing FE mugs to get a general area where facial features are. Then if things look off move them around until they look right. :/

Then again there is a guide that gives you basic proportions.....I just can't link it because I'm on a phone. <_>

[TheReaper]

Aw thats so good so far

*hates on lumi for being good * <3 love

btw lumi can i steal your idea of your entry just for some custom practicing? i wont submit it for anything and i shall credit your idea. pleasee

[Thor Odinson]

@Astra: I'll do that.

@The Reaper: Go for it. :)

Updated entry:

Added a few more hair accessories.

Full-customed hair in the back.

Friggin' curls.

[Thor Odinson]

More Seth reclasses.

This time, to Hero.

Seth's orginal hair is too neat for Hero so I grew it out a bit. :>

I enjoyed this one for obvious reasons.

[El Rey León]

LOL, It's awesome! <3

I see he's got a little Dieck in him.

Do Shaman!Seth next!

[Thor Odinson]

I used Dieck's body as a base. 8D

I will~ OMG challenge is gonna be fun.

...Though I'll have to use a shaman palette for him instead of his regular palette though. :>

[AstraLunaSol]

He looks a bit....small. Or just off angle.

[Thor Odinson]

Elaborate?

And the base I used:

Naked!Seth~

[AstraLunaSol]

I think it's the fact that the shoulder guard. Makes his far arm smaller than it should be.

[Ether]

Elaborate?

And the base I used:

Naked!Seth~

It would be better if you made it a fullbod-*shot*

[Thor Odinson]

Updated version. Y/N?

It would be better if you made it a fullbod-*shot*

I wish.

I think you're an Astra type and custom better then you splice after seeing Seth. (Our) Left side shoulder pad looks awkward (jutting out). And the shoulder pads in general seem to be forced on, rather then flowing nicely. With the left pad, it's shading. (Though the right could used shading too)

the overall reason I get this impression is because of the border outlining used on the insides. (Belts/bottom of armor) and think it looks better when you used the "darkest skin shade" instead. (The shade used usually to define chins)

As for the Halloween entry thing..... Amazing :) Much happier with the hair.

It would be better if you made it a fullbod-*shot*

Half bodies were bad enough thanks *Looks at Reaper* :P
