Kanami Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) Been spriting for over 2 years(?) now. And I've finally reached a somewhat decent level. Top2 rows are the older ones, everything else is placed pretty much at random. *Red dots indicate works which WERE Spliced by myself, though the concept belonged to someone else. They generally come from redoing peoples mugs for them. Would list who they are if I could remember.

Nanami Touko Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Everything seems to be pretty much just decent splicing, yada yada. Two things, though. First thing, the first one isn't even a splice XD It's a Marisa recolor. Second thing: PLEASE use FE colors instead of trying to make your own. I can see that on the newer ones you are, but if you ever decide to go back to the old ones, make sure to do that XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstraLunaSol Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) I remember seeing some o these. Looong way to improve, Kanami. You should probably work on improving each individual mug, then moving on. Edited December 9, 2010 by AstraLunaSol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanami Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 With the exception of the 5th row, everything's just splices I've done over the years, so yeah. Mediocre splices, but nothing great (hence the title XD) 1: Ones actually my first attempt at fiddling with FE mugs, and I did play with the clothes and hair tips a bit. But for the most part, you're right, it's just a recolor. 2: Not quite sure what you mean by using FE colors, with the exception of the first and 5th one (first row) where I used pure black for the outline (and part of the clothes). The rest should have used FE colors :/ (Eye dropper) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawman Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I see a .hack wavemaster. Idk enough about the actual series to tell if its one of the main characters or not. Some of them are pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them are pretty nice. That Wavemaster is... Elk? I think it's Elk. It's too blue to be the .Hack Sign main character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) I lol'd @ the Cirno. ... 何、これ? 怖いよ。 >_< Edited December 9, 2010 by shadowofchaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawman Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 That Wavemaster is... Elk? I think it's Elk. It's too blue to be the .Hack Sign main character. I would buy it as elk. Though doesn't he actually wear like a dark grayish purple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peener weener Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Cirno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I would buy it as elk. Though doesn't he actually wear like a dark grayish purple? I think so, but I can't think of any other male Wavemaster that had that color scheme. Unless it's meant to be generic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatari Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Looong way to improve, Kanami. You should probably work on improving each individual mug, then moving on. Still better than me though... I like most of Kanami's stuff...very awesome. The third row from the bottom, 2nd in. I really like the design on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amelia Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Dat Cirno. I like the designs, but you needs more shading practice Kanami. D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanami Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) .... So many comments, yay :/ @Astra: A Loooong way I'll most likely never travel No idea why I started splicing in the first place, think it might of been a requisite for an RP..... Anyway, I'm not an artsy person, I failed both primary school art. And barely passed the compulsory junior high classes. And I loathe putting pen to paper for any reason other then writing. (Has issues doing brainstorms and graphs and tables too) XD Objective wasn't and never will be to make amazing sprites, I'd probably try if FE was a booming franchise, but we all know it isn't (anymore at leasr). So I probably won't ever go back to fix the older ones, not because I'm incapable or lazy (It'll look better if I fix them, not be much, but better so I am capable) but so I can see the minimal progress I've made over the year. @Strawman Thanks, it was supposed to be Elk from the PS2 .Hack games, but I actually haven't ever played a .Hack game before XD and only did it as a request for some guy I met over a year ago. The image he gave me as reference was fanart which painted him bright blue. Other fanart usually make it a darker blue. *shrugs* Example: @Hatari Thanks, though you'd be alot better then I am if you'd been spriting for as long as I have XD Though two years from now, I doubt (at least) half of us will even still be connected to FE, never mind Serenes. I know I won't XD Anyway, the best advice I can give is don't hole up like I did :P Actively seek critique from others and listen to them XD You've got at least two great spriters teaching you, so you'll grow quickly if you stick to it :P @Amelia Shading? What's shading? I wish you wouldn't use complicated artsy lingo on me Amelia, speak in a language I understand, please? :P jk Shading is something I probably won't ever get better at. I somewhat pulled myself out of my pillowing ways. That's a bigger task than I'm suppose to be capable of. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Found Elk v1 XD Edited December 9, 2010 by Kanami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sprite is awesome, though I don't know who elk is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riariadne Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 ... What Spike said. Cirno. Also, I c Damian and Aiya in there. Or at least the mugs Ether used for them. Also Reika but with a different body. Some of it looks a bit... unsharpened, but other stuff is really good. So. yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Wait, you sprited Damian and Aiya originally? Why do I find this funny? :/ Well I like most of them. It's way better than I could manage. I'll stick with spriting FE10 characters thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanami Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) I started spriting mugs for LoAF'ers that didn't have an image before you did :/ And Damian just happened to be the first signup on the registration page. Got bored of LoAF soon afterwards, and your FE10 splices looked more attractive as a portrait, so I gave up :/ Reika was originally: Then I changed her to Amelia(FE8)'s armor, and then back to the Serra(?) clothes for the RP. Speaking of FE10, my first and most likely last GC/Wii FE splice. Edited December 12, 2010 by Kanami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 You didn't actually recolor the hair in MS paint did you? :( The eyes don't seem to fit the face much, but other than that it looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiltas Crysten Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Another .hack-fan? Your Elk looks not bad, though I like the eyes of the first version better^^ I myself tried to make a .hack-sprite once before, though you still can recognize the base character too much <.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
