CT075 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Make an A-rank Sword. 16x16 box. I may or may not check this. Honor system. FE colors. It is the responsibility of the voters and the spriters to ask "does that look like the right weapon rank?" Winner selects next challenge. Deadline: April 5th Ghostclown: 13th: iavasechui: Zanryu: Camtech: Lord Glenn: Feaw: Astra: Acey: ((wtf)) Edited April 3, 2011 by Camtech075 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostclown Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Sword of Storms. I hope the rain wasn't too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13th Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Mine's a simple, but obviously A Rank weapon Sith Lightsaber. EDIT: You do realize I don't like normal sprites and such, right? So I go ultimate awesome creations that don't turn out. Edited April 2, 2011 by 13thshadow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanryu Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) I'm saying fuck special weapons, I'm keeping it to the simple formula - but with my own subtype. You've got Swords branching to Blades? Fuck that, I'm bringin' the Silver Claymore. Meh. EDIT: I also must stress, the box I have around the piece is 18x18, but the sword itself fits a 16x16 box (the hilt pushes into the border, like in actual FE weapon icons).

iavasechui Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Gah looks like crap... -_- any advice for fixing it? I suck at shading tiny things -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Swords are the easiest to shade, IMO. Shading in a 16x16 box is seriously just putting the darker color on one side and the lighter color on the other. Zan, I see what you're doing there, but could you please use a 16x16 box? Otherwise that is going to bug me to death before I disqualify you on accident for some bullshit reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanryu Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Sure, gimme a few minutes and I'll make a standalone 16x16 image. :P EDIT: Updated to my old post, and placing it here just for good measure. Whaddya know about claymores? Shit's smart. Edited April 2, 2011 by Zanryu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Glenn Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) One thing I might note: Instead of saying "winner selects next rank and type," you might consider saying "winner gets the choice of the next challenge". I can think of scenarios (have everyone try to make a legendary weapon, have everyone try to downscale an FE9/10 icon to GBA size, sprite a weapon based on artwork, etc.) where a rank and type might not be appropriate.

Good idea. Changing. Okay does this look better or worse? I actually think your original attempt was pretty good. Keep trying, you'll do great.

iavasechui Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 What about this? First one's shading, and second one's hilt? I dunno I really didn't like the hilt in the first one, but I kinda liked the shading, and I really really didn't care for the second ones shading once I got a better look at it...

I personally dislike that color scheme, but the shading works out alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT075 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Well it is called the blood sword heh ^_^; I was thinking that it was too dark, that it had no "shine".

Well I wasn't sure how to shade it... there wasn't a lighter red in the colors and aside from the orange I wasn't sure what to do with it... I'd like to see what you mean if you'd pm me.

Feaw Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I present to you; The Stardust Sword (becuase the hilt looks like a star and the blade represents a comet ! ) Box is 20x20, sword itself is 16x16. It's A rank, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's A rank, obviously. I'm going to ask you the same thing that I asked Zanryu. Could you please put it in a 16x16 box before it triggers my OCD and I disqualify you for some bullshit reason?

Zanryu Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I hate to say, most of these look more PRF or S rank than anything. :X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
