Anacybele Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Okay, but what varieties are you talking about, exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Maybe a winding path that goes up and down instead of left to right, and that could lead into a left to right one. Or maybe throw in some diagonals. Something to spice it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Diagonals sound good. But how does a winding path go up and down? o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freohr Datia Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Kinda like that =3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Ah, I see now. Thanks a bunch, Freohr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feaw Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Is this a bad thing? Or are you just pointing that out for the heck of it? xP Yes becuase the current shape doesn't look good. It looking like something doesn't matter if the path itself still looks good enough. For one, its nearly 100% symmetrical. So just edit it a little and it should be good.

Anacybele Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 What? Where do you see any symmetry at? Also, I was trying to leave hints of an intersecting path... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feaw Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 That thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Oh, that. I thought you were talking about the bird-shaped path. xP ...OH. Wait, that also looks like a bird. I was looking at a different path that I thought looked like a bird's head. Stupid me. Edited September 7, 2012 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Mkay, is this better? I also changed up some of the locations of some trees and hills. I also replaced that bit of trees at the top so Ike wouldn't be sitting in it when I re-add units. You know, I kinda can't wait to make the chapter maps that have a bunch more allied units. :D Edited September 7, 2012 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Not to be a prick, but could you please add your stuff as you create more sprites/maps, to the OP as well? I'd like to see what new stuff you're creating, but not sift through 14 pages to find that new Ikelincia offspring that I forgot what page it was on. ~~Just a harmless suggestion~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Ah, so that's why some people do that. Yeah, it would be easier that way, wouldn't it? Sure, I'll go add the stuff to the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercenary Lord Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) JUST LOOK AT HOW IMPROVED THAT IS- Granted, it most likely isn't perfect, but it's a good deal better That being said, I'm no mapper, so that'll have to wait for those who are.

Anacybele Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yeah, it is improved quite a bit. I don't know what I was thinking when I made the first version. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Aww. i kinda liked the upside down mustache path. Wow that looks loads better! See? Improvements! :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Yup, improvements indeed. :D Guess I should go ahead and add the units again. I think this map is good enough as is. Nothing is perfect, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) Mkay, I added the version of the map with units to the OP. I also edited the Fighter sprite to look more like the ones in RD (I'll update the chapter 3 map with the this sprite as well). I like them way better than the GBA versions. They don't look so retarded and actually wear some armor. Really, PoR and RD just have the best character and unit designs by far.

CT075 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 way better the mountain issues are still kinda present but i'm not sure how to fix them myself so i'll shut up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) Well, from now on, if there does turn out to be any little issues that absolutely should be fixed, I'm saving my maps as psd files in GIMP, so once I update them, instead of adding units all over again, I swap out the old map layers for the new ones. Much easier and much quicker. I also won't need to show blank maps all the time because of this. Unless you all would prefer that I post blank maps first, of course. xP Edited September 8, 2012 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 personally i'd rather see the blank map because enemy placement is the kind of thing where you actually have to play the map before it starts making sense and IMO that's kind of out of the scope of a sprite thread but what do i know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Well considering shes making these for "illustration" purposes for her fanfic, i think its fine with units on it. (but that there fighter sprite looks strange...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Eh, I don't mind showing blank maps first. It's just fine with me. :P As for the Fighter sprite, I was trying to make it wear shoulder guards and a shirt with long sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Peachar Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 okay yeah I'm done. literally took a color from Ike's FE10 mug for the middle hair tone and went from there. Derped on the cape cause Roy's is just ugly. I brightened the red a bit, but kept the undertone down to keep from OW MY EYES. But yeah. There's something of a ref. Have fun~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliban of Sycorax Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 good cape shading what He actually looks 17 now as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun~ Cape looks fine, but now the headband looks really weird. In fact, I couldn't even tell it WAS a headband at first. I also don't think he looks 17 anymore. Again, he looks 15 in your version. Not to mention the shape of those eyes make him look too content. He's supposed to have that serious look like Ike always has. Also, what's with the random blobs of shading on the collar? Thanks, but no thanks. Also, I had no intention of messing with this mug any further anyway. At least not right now. Oh, and to be honest, I really don't like people messing with my mugs, even if it's just for references.
