Ansem Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Where is the shading needed? And any more tips that aren't too hurtful? impossible, if you want to be a good spriter, you're gonna have to learn how to take criticism [spoiler=example] Your sprite needs shading near the forehead, reference Eli's older mug for it. There is also those two stray red pixels near the left eye(our pov). Move the head up a couple of pixels so that the neck is visible, again reference eli's mug for that. Move the chin up one pixel as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackShadow Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) More!! The girl with the thing in her hair needs her outline to be darker. Constructive criticism wanted. Edited January 12, 2011 by BlackShadow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanami Touko Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Those 5 are better, but remember to not mix colors from different FE games. Like, stick to one color set, either FE6, 7, or 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackShadow Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Which is better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted35362 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I wish I knew. *looks more closely* The one on the right because it's closer to tan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackShadow Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) The went on the left have Elincia off POR ( or RD) For the skin tone. I made them both about 10-15 minutes ago. Edited January 12, 2011 by BlackShadow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbeline Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Which is better? The right skin tone is better. Not sure if you had planned on fixing it or not, but the rest of the outline on the clothes and the body is lighter than that around the head. I can give some more critique if you want.

Cymbeline Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Sure go ahead. Okay. First the one that doesn't need a reference, basically the colors. Stick to FE7 or 8 colors because mixing them together can create an unattractive result. The outline around the head is FE8's outline. If you go with that outline, make the rest of the colors FE8 (which includes changing the skin color as well). Also, there needs to be some more shading under the headband. Anyway, the rest of the stuff isn't as simple for me to point out. Here is a very large(!) picture for easy reference (I'll use the one on the right since the difference between the two seems to be only skintones): Red box: Fir's ponytail is visible. Erase all of it. Orange box: Missing an outline. Blue box: Small green dots outside of the lines. Purple box: Ears are a different color from the rest of the skin (make sure to stick to one). It is also too close to the eye, so move it to the right a bit. Pink boxes: Small shading fixes. Yellow box: A very dark green color here that is not present in the rest of the hair. Of course this is only what I noticed. . . so there may be some other things I missed. Hope it helps at least a little bit. Also, not sure if you know about the easy way to recolor or not is. Here is a link to a video tutorial another member of SF made since I have a hard time explaining it: http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=23568 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackShadow Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 I took into account what you said, Cymbeline and this is the result and a new Dorothy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbeline Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I took into account what you said, Cymbeline and this is the result and a new Dorothy. There are still at least two different outline colors. But that should be an easy fix. Also, there are also two different skin color sets, and the problem with the ear still being too close to the eye. As for the second one, there needs to be a little bit more shading under the necklace. The bow on her head is a little out of perspective, as the left side of it should be smaller than the right given the way her head is turned. However, I think it's actually rather cleanly spliced, so you are improving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackShadow Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Tell me what you think. XD Edited January 18, 2011 by BlackShadow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joerachi Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Shinon's ponytail is defying gravity more than hair should be. Tormod's cape needs outline. Also, the portrait has 2 different FE outline colors. This is becoming a problem XD EDIT: Upon further inspection, I think I see all 3 FE outline colors on there ._.

Hatari Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Really like the wolf. The centaur's body might need to be bigger...the human part. Or the horse part needs to be smaller...I think. It looks disproportionate to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanami Touko Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Are the rest good? Blackshadow, they really aren't. All those characters don't look a thing like their battle models in FE9 or FE10. You should give their character art another look, or look at some screens of the battle models and try a little more than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatari Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Are the rest good? TBH, I'm a terrible judge at sprites...I was just stating my opinion. Ask Astra, Seph, Lumi, etc. for actually opinions. Ecut is really good at those types of sprites too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
