raxistaicho Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Hey everyone, tell me watcha think, suggest improvements and all that nice stuff. Thanks :) I'm still inexperienced at this sorta thing, but I think these aren't too bad :D These would all be custom characters for Blazing Sword I found the mercenary sprite somewhere on the internet but I can't remember where... Sorry about that. Getting her eyes right was some work; my first few attempts at getting a sort of sad look ended with me making her look glass-eyed or thoughtful. FF7-era Cecilia :) Hey, I say she could be old enough! :p My story behind her is she's Fae's mother. And she died, thanks to continuity :D My current progress at making Manakete sprites for her :) I was considering just going the easy route by using Myrrh's dragon sprite, but I liked the idea of bringing back the FE6 Manakete sprites :D Next I gotta do the detrans sprites . _ . Well anyways, that's what I've got for now :) Tell me watcha think :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercenary Lord Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Hm... I'm don't make many mugs, but I do like the second one, with the eyes covered, although there are some shading issues. The yellow eyes are just weird, but I can't put my finger on why... That manakete animation seems like simple creation, but efficient. I like it... But just wait until some of the more experience spriters get here. You'll get better input that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raxistaicho Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Is it the actual yellow coloring that I used, or the simple fact that her eyes are yellow? If it's the second part that bothers you, it's because she's a Morph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercenary Lord Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 No, it isn't the color, it's the shading. Maybe take a look at some other mugs eyes and then try to emulate them? Idk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raxistaicho Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 um the shaman appears to have a gold semi circle under her eyes it looks out of place Hmm, I see what you mean. And eJubs, did you mean her eyes were too dark, or was it something else? Thanks for the critiques so far, I'll get around to fixing them :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubby Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yeah, too much outline color in the eyes :P Actually now I check it's FE8 outline color, not FE7, which is even darker. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deranger Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 The shading is the problem? The shading is a problem. When you paste someone's hair onto someone else's head, you need to make sure a proper shadow is cast on the face just below where the hair covers. Reference the mug the hair came from if you need help with this.

raxistaicho Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Allright, I'll go back over those, thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
