NICKT™ Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 As for the first one's skin tone, it purposefully is different from the white cloth, because it looks weird otherwise. I was talking about the clothing trim which uses Zeph's skin tones, not the collar, derp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereign Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) I'm extremely lazy to go edit older mugs, because I gotta go dl them off imageshack or one of my galleries, then start toying with it. I only plan on fixing them when I've mass produced a ton and they're ready to be put in game. 1st: 2nd: The changes made in the second one are the right shoulder, which could use some improvement (direct me, haha), and changes to the hair shades on the left and right, feel free to CnC (: EDIT: Oh yeah, anybody know a good light blue or sexy white palette of four FE8 colors? I hate the ugly cloth colors. EDIT2: Better the third time around? Only taking critique on his roots, anybody got any tips for that? (I'll heed them, but probably won't be editing him anymore for now) (WIP) Guess who? I probably won't be doing the head for a while, or unless I absolutely perfect this suit. So, any ideas on how to shade the vest part? I'm not sure how to go about that with the stripes... Also, another black shade or another red shade?

Sovereign Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) So, this is about everything I've been completing since my last post. I just recently did all of these in the past 3-4 days. I have shown my red suit I customed on here, haven't I? I'll edit the post in a bit if I haven't. EDIT: So go ahead and guess who this is going to be so far, but I stopped at the head shape. I'm not really good at customing the rest of it, and I want him to be perfect because he's my fave <3 Edited May 25, 2011 by Sai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Kitty Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 That looks like the size is reduced a bit, might want to fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliban of Sycorax Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 That Jill is very sexy, though and I like boys. If you get it up to better size I can give proper critiques. The eyes look a bit off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereign Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) OH crap! Sorry, Jill is Nayr's not mine. I plan on using her, but she's not my creation unfortunately :( Yeah, they do look size reduced, but I don't feel like uploading all of them... But I guess I will. Give me a couple minutes D: EDIT: The rest I think I've already posted previously. I'll go ahead and give their names while I'm at it, feel free to give me new suggestions to them as well. 1. Van - Myrmidon, I think (despite the armor...) 2. Durant - Thief 3. Vaant - Sage 4. Noir - Soldier 5. Ajax - Fighter (lol, look at that noble garb) 6. Lionell - Whichever the promoted Eliwood Lord was Edited May 25, 2011 by Sai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teapot Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Diego. o 3o A bit saddened that the pinstripes don't follow the contour of his body, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereign Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Sorry D: I've been asking for more criticism that could help me, but I haven't got much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teapot Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Head is far too small. The average size of a head (not including particularly poofy, wild, or gravity-defying hair) in GBA FE is about 49px, give or take a few depending on gender, age, etc. Body seems to be angled, but shoulders seem to conflict with it, which makes it appear forward and not forward at the same time. Again, pinstripes on the near side of the waistcoat don't follow the contour or his body well. Clothing is badly pillowed, especially in the center. I'm not really sure what's going on with the far shoulder. It seems to be a random lump of shading. and doesn't do much to indicate any sort of wrinkle or seam along the sleeve. More of the same from the near shoulder, too. Head might be tilting back too far, but not sure what you're going for ATM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereign Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 I somewhat followed the guidelines. For the near shoulder, that's the left one, right? Should I think out his arm-line shading? And his head seems a bit big at 49px, but I hardly know of this kind of thing. As for the pillow shading, and the direction of the waistcoat's stripes, I'm not sure how to make those follow his body shape. They would be heading towards the left I assume, but I hardly think I have the skill to do those again :/ I did em poorly in the first place.

Teapot Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 near = his left; far = his right; whereeveryouare = not relevant Head size will also take into account part of his hair, which will invariably cover up most of the hugeness, if not add a whole bunch more floof because of his hairstyle. If you're really concerned, though, I would suggest maybe broadening his shoulders more, then. Looking at Diego again, it seems his pinstripes weren't entirely following the line of his body, though the lines you have really are a bit too stiff. I might suggest using a lighter color for those, especially to blend the stripes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereign Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Got any suggestions for his waistcoat palette? I was having an issue finding that one in the first place. I'll attempt to broaden his shoulders when my computer is less laggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teapot Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 TBH, I don't think it would hurt much to borrow colors from the original sprite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereign Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) <- It's been quite a while since I've posted! I haven't really done any FE art since my last post though, but since FEE3 just happened, I got inspired again and want to get back into it :D The face's shading on this one is custom so far, so I would LOVE some critique on how head shading should go. The eyes and nose are taken from someone (guess ^-^), and I did the mouth and chin (think I need to change the chin to match the mouth). And finally, the hair's shape is custom, but I wouldn't mind some assistance on that one either. Thanks in advance, mates! EDIT: <- Oh yeah, I finished dish one too. The minimug I just based off of something I think SoC said... So it's not amazing, but it's passable...

Sovereign Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 <- Alright, I think this one looks nice this time. Don't mind the pink, I just did that so I could remove bg easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) That looks better. The line under his mouth, the lower lip, that needs to come up a bit and conform more to the mouth line. Edited August 28, 2012 by seph1212 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sovereign Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 derp bump. <- Worked on a little more. I think I have the shading wrong on his left arm to start. As for hair shading, I've never been too hot there (especially since this is my first time FC'ing it), and I could use some tips. I dread moving onto the cloth shading as well x) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mew Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 A couple of things that stand out to me on the FC: he doesn't really have much of a brow, at the moment it looks as if his eyebrows got burned off or something. As for the shading on the hair, you only shaded the bottom tips of the hair, whereas in FE style sprites, the shading is used to define individual chunks and strands, as well as a part, which he lacks. I'd suggest you reference or splice Leila, her hair is pretty similar. The placement of the fur also doesn't really make sense to me, on the right shoulder it's sort of sitting at the top as if it were lining the bottom of the pauldron, yet on OPV left shoulder it's sorta hanging down as if it were the lining on a cloak or something. His whole pose in general is a bit odd though. It made a bit more sense before when it was still pink and an outline of armor, it seems like the whole OPV left shoulder has faded into oblivion behind his head, like he has some sort of weird lump there. As for the neck, you might want to consider where the collarbone is. I'm not exactly certain where it would be because I don't quite understand how he is posed, but at the moment it doesn't appear to be at the same angle that his shoulders are. You may also want to put a bit more of the light shade in it--at the moment it's very 'cell-shaded' looking, instead of smoothly shaded like FE sprites generally are. I think the angle of his head is super interesting though, as is his expression. :V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereign Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Well I misused the term FC, the only thing FC about him is the hair x) Yeah, I wasn't finished with hair shading, but I can't quite get where to go next, I referenced that one FE6 guy with the long orange hair for a little big. The eyes are Colm's, but I think I get what you mean with his left eyebrow. And I agree with his right arm, I now see how it kinda lumps behind him. As for the fur, it's supposed to be like a fur collar sort of, kind of like fur on the lining of a hood? As for the overall shape, it was Ross' body shape originally, so his body is facing forward, but he's tilting his head kind of over his shoulder. <- So I tried messing with the fur collar a bit, and I think I'll tweak it one more time to kind of give it a more upward angle. The brow, really, if I added in more eyebrow, it looked really strange, and took away from his kind of small, slender look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sovereign Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Hmm, then I might have to change the arm back to more of a shoulder view, he should have kind of a smaller build, but I do see that's somewhat dis-proportionate with his head. And I will get back to your PM later, Mew, not at my computer at the moment :) Edited August 30, 2012 by Sai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
