Kit Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I'm currently spriting mugshots for my first hack (not going as well as I'd hope. My first sprite seems to be a disaster) and I have a quick question. How do you determine the colour of the outline of the sprite? For example: For Rutger: Here His outline is (90,65,99). For Hector: Here His outline is (75,54,85). How do you spriters determine the outline colour? I'm assuming pure black (255,255,255) is bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 if you're using FE7 colors, use the FE7 outline color (most people in FE7 have near or the same outline color), and if you're using FE8 colors, use the FE8 outline. Stray away from FE6 o 3 o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eCut Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Uhm.. Spriters just use the default outline colour. xD FE8 outline for FE8 coloured sprites, and FE7 for FE7 coloured sprites, FE6 outline for FE6 coloured sprites. Seph, you ninja'd me... *Deathstare* Hehe~ Edited November 28, 2012 by eCut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanami Touko Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 You could always post your first mug and let us tear it apart give it critique ' 3' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Ahh. I didn't realize that was a thing. I thought the outline colour was the different for each individual sprite. You learn something new every day. Also Seph, I thought about that but I'm going to edit it some more before I upload it.

Nanami Touko Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Ohhhhhkay and your assumption is correct, pure black is bad. So are microsoft paint defaults/whatever defaults come with whatever program you're using. Best to stick to in game mug colors until you get good enough to start making your own colors ~'3'~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 if you're using FE7 colors, use the FE7 outline color (most people in FE7 have near or the same outline color), and if you're using FE8 colors, use the FE8 outline.

Seph, you ninja'd me... *Deathstare* Hehe~ Wait...FE6 outlines and DIFFERENT from FE7 outlines? My life...is a lie.... Srsly though, my paint program often registers certain colors from mugs from FE6 and FE7 as being the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teapot Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) FE6 and FE7 technically could have the same outlines. Same with a lot of their darkest skin tone. I'd just use FE6-7 colors interchangeably, because there's really not enough difference in overall saturation to warrant that kind of complication. As a general rule of thumb, though, steer away from FE6. That shit's awful. Edited November 28, 2012 by · j e a l o u s y · Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BwdYeti Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 FE6 and 7 do have the same outline, 88 64 96. Both the sprites in the first post aren't exact rips. Seph you should have been able to mention this in the first response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 why I use FE8 colors and don't splice, you expect me to pay attention to FE6/7 sprites what are you mad besides you should always stay away from FE6 ~'2'~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, then the super huge compsheet should be relatively all right. Was afraid to say the wrong thing in case my sheet was wrong. >: Edited November 28, 2012 by · j e a l o u s y · Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz thats what i use (that super huge compsheet) and it always registered the outlines being the same color between FE6 mugs and FE7 mugs.

Teapot Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 ^ Unfortunately, yeah, it's so widespread in use that I was really afraid it was going to be wrong. x[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
