Rafael Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Krom My attempt at making krom almost full custom except for karel's face shape Edited April 12, 2012 by Rafael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) That's really bad and chunky. There's honestly nothing I can say to fix that; you just shouldn't be doing full custom sprites yet :< Go and try to splice together a Krom sprite, and then once you've actually spliced one, you can try to add on full custom elements. You're really not at the level to do one from scratch. Edited April 12, 2012 by seph1212 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafael Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 I know you told me to try splicing but I just wanted try fix it up, even just a little. So here it is. and anyway what do you think of the battle sprite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzz94 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 You should listen to seph, Full Customs take skill and once you are at that point you won't need large amounts of help. Most people on these forums are not going to help you with full customs. Splicing is alot easier for a beginner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) You didn't fix much of anything, and I don't do battle sprites, so I can't say. Most people on these forums are not going to help you with full customs. Splicing is alot easier for a beginner. Now, that's not necessarily true. We'll help someone if they show that they're willing to learn from the bottom up, and are showing progression in their ability to sprite. We just won't spend time helping people who want to jump into the most difficult stuff right away. Rafael, if you start splicing, and actually learn how to sprite properly, then people will probably help you. Jumping into FCing isn't the way to do it.

Rafael Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Okay i understand and will start off again with the basics, and try not to be cocky and continue trying to make full custom sprites. Thanks for your wisdom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deranger Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I would echo Seph's advicce for the battle sprites as well. That way you don't have to learn to shade all at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NICKT™ Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Full Custom is pretty much the same as splicing, it takes almost the same skillsets. Just Full Custom relies more on you being good at drawing in general, along with anatomy and such where as with splicing it's not so demanding due to what is essentially endless resource and templates. In all honesty, you can come in here and know nothing of FE spriting yet pick up on FC'ing within a few months, it just requires you to be a little more creative, and it's more time consuming. However, splicing I suggest is an important basic to make sure you get the basics of FE spriting down pat first, eventually you get the nack for facial shapes, hair shading, clothing and bodies, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafael Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 I finally decided to attempt another sprite! Here is the result, He is my namesake, Rafael! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teapot Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Well, it isn't entirely awful. ...from a distance. Hair - wtf is going on in these parts Face - Shading, son, shading. Blend shit out more. Body - Shading, son, shading. Why the flip does everything look so awkward. his shoulders are tinyfucks. Clothing - Shading, son, shading. Pillow + wtf trim + he needs to iron that shit out.

Kain Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Jellyfish I think that you need to be more constructive in your criticism, you're being far too harsh. Though that is to say, Rafael, I do agree with him that the things he mentioned need work, but it's a vast improvement over your other works!

Thor Odinson Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Dude she even circled where exactly is wrong That's about as detailed as you get and more effective than giant paragraphs of doom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teapot Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I circled all the parts that need to be addressed. I'm not going to hold his hand and babysit him throughout the process. If you're so concerned about it, why not try expanding on what I've pointed out rather than bagging on me for it? This is how I critique. I'm not going to sugarcoat things, and it's not as if I'm outright insulting him or asking him to fuck off and stop spriting. If you don't like it, then you can ignore it. Otherwise, be "constructive" yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peener weener Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Well, it isn't entirely awful. ...from a distance. Hair - wtf is going on in these parts (1) Face - Shading, son, shading. Blend shit out more. (2) Body - Shading, son, shading. Why the flip does everything look so awkward. his shoulders are tinyfucks. (3) Clothing - Shading, son, shading. Pillow + wtf trim + he needs to iron that shit out. (4) 1. Locks going over locks in an awkward position, probably. I could also see some problems with shading in the rightwards our POV of his hair, and where the bangs meet the face. 2. His shading is inconsistent. He really needs to stick with a lightsource. Also, he can't blend things in very well, such as whatever it is he has on his cheek. If that is a scar, it does not look like it, and perhaps he would want to use lighter tones or a more obvious approach to a scar than that. 3. Inconsistent shading, again. Sometimes the lightsource looks like it is directly above the sprite, and sometimes directly in front, and sometimes from the sides. I see how it looks awkward, but can't describe it. Also, dunno about the shoulders comment. She probably means they should be broader. 4. PILLOW SHADING. This is a big no-no. If you don't know what it is, well, it's the thing where you shade the borders. This doesn't establish a clear lightsource, and makes the sprite look incredibly awkward. Here. Also, the trim looks bland and flat. I'm not very good on trims though, so I dunno. Finally, his shirt is all over the place. It really needs to kind of rest on his body instead of going bananas and looking like it's hard material. I think that's what the ironing comment means. Are you all goddamn joyful already. disclaimer: i actually know jackshit about sprites Edited June 3, 2012 by Stolypin Necktie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
