1996 Mode

[1996]

hello~

I'm always looking for subjects to practice with on my tablet, so I draw concept art and make FE10 sprites for people and their RP characters. Anything remotely Fire Emblem-related will be posted here — even the ones I'm not entirely proud of.

--------------------

Here are all my FE10 sprites that I've made so far (ordered from earliest to most recent)...

Mecca Lo-Kayinavai, an original character and also my first FE10 splice ever. In a nutshell: she's a White Dragon, Goldoan loyalist and she hunts or rescues other Dragons and brings them back to Goldoa. I imagined her personality/character/battle-style as a Ramona Flowers meets M. Bison. In terms of design: heavy steampunk-inspired look with an androgynous coat.

Gerhard Albrecht, my first request of an RP character. IIRC, he is a Wyvern Knight in the Daein royal air force. I've always wanted to give him a different cuff, but as he is currently an inactive character, it's low in my priority.

Jun the Swan, from Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. I made this just for fun because I was bored. It's my laziest edit with the least amount of time spent on it (about 30 minutes); sampling directly from some official art and not bothering to shade it Fire Emblem-style. I have no intention on coming back to this one.

Skygge "Sky" Ullr, a request for an RP character. IIRC, this character is a Falcon Laguz and was a bit of a daredevil. The request said to use Tibarn's coat, so this was the result. There's a couple issues with my skin palette but it's a quick fix and I will get to it soon.

Ellis Nineveh, another request of an RP character. IIRC, he is some sort of unmounted axe-user with a rather naïve personality. There wasn't a whole lot of readily available splicing I could use with this one so I had to draw a lot of the shapes myself. There are some parts that I'm very happy with while others... well, I could improve it a whole lot I think. Although this character is pretty much retired, I would like to make Ellis look better someday.

Hit-Girl, from the film adaptation of Kick-Ass. I collaborated with a schoolmate on this when we were both bored in class. Just like Jun the Swan, because I made this just for fun, I probably won't fix it up any further than what it is now.

Rosemary Almstedt, a request for an RP character. She's a jaded, young archer girl. Remember in Path of Radiance when you could see some characters' weapon hilts, quivers or shields on their half-bodies? Well, I wanted to bring that back with this one and have her hold her bow. I'm still fixing this one up a bit.

Fionn Beauregard, another request of an RP character. This is him in a third-tier costume, promoting from Soldier/Halberdier. There are a couple lines I would like to fix but I'm happy with it overall.

Tyber Fen, a request of an RP character. IIRC, he's another unmounted lance user. This is him in an alternate costume. I didn't have to make a head for this, I just took the original sprite of this character (that I didn't make) and modeled on this new outfit. I think I need to add more emphasis around the elbow areas, but I think this one was OK.

I'll have some drawings to show someday soon.

Comments and criticism would be much appreciated! ^__^

These are all excellent :D

There's just one thing though... I don't believe they had goggles in the medieval times. :|

Unless... it's a futuristic Fire Emblem... we need one, dammit

The eyes bother me a bit on a number of them. They seem to be blurred around the edges on Gerhard and Sky in particular, while on Ellis and Rosemary the outlines and pupils seem really dark and sharpened.

Still pretty damn cool, though.

The rise in FE10 spriters continues :)

I like these a lot, especially Gerhard, Hit-Girl, and Tyber, but I'm not going to ignore the little issues here and there that I see. Overall only problem I really see is a slight lack of attention to detail and blending in some areas. I actually use to have the same issue but that tends to fix itself with time. Fantastic. Try making things a bit smoother though.

My favorites: Mecca and Gerhard. Pure awesome. =D I'd like to see more FE steampunk stuffs here. ^_^

You're probably the best FE10 spriter here unless Vamp starts making them @~@

Ellis is cross-eyed, but, other than tons of tiny issues, these are all quite impressive.

Two more things I wanted to add, Jun's eyes look soulless, and Gerhard looks awesome because he reminds me of Yeager from Valkyria Chronicles.

Vamp says that FE10 starts being not pixel art, so I think we're safe. Okay, probably not.

I see Guild Wars! yaaaaay. good game.

Anyways. Wow. Those are really cool. And complex. And awesome.

I can't wait to see what you can draw haha.
