Alabaster Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) So you suggest to increase the arm's thickness by 33%? i'd say 100% lol GOSH gotta give dat kawaiiiuguuuuanimugurl human proportions, man Edited July 9, 2014 by D'Artagnih Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siuloir Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 i'd say 100% lol GOSH gotta give dat kawaiiiuguuuuanimugurl human proportions, man What Miss Nih says, definitely. Reference Marisa, her posture matches your sprite perfectly. Also this. Bring her OPV arm down to more match how Marisa has hers - Right now it's bent at an inhuman, impossible angle.

Fateborn Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Putting Jibril on hold for now as she's troublesome at the moment, (I did manage to fix her slim arm rest assured haha) I'm working on AthenaWyrm's Minerva mug that she posted on Exalted Legacy. Here's her original. Here's what I got and fixed up so far. I'll actually get her armor be the same as the original Minerva later on, just needed to have different color and shade it to look right then I'll add the gold trimming from the original. Any errors so far that need addressing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siuloir Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) You changed the base color and added swaths of lighter shading....That's not really fixing up. Especially since the lighter color is extremely blendy and difficult to make out. (So, in essence, star there.) You should likely have posted after making more substantial changes.

Teapot Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 As noted in the request topic, her overall scale is kind of enormous. It was a great start, but I think you'd probably need to shrink it down more and allow more room for the body instead of just a head.

Fateborn Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Rotten little hobbiteses doubling post as they please. Progress update: Took lot of trial and error. I changed the eye colors to brown. I think I got the collar gold trim to be appropriate as well adding in the shoulder straps. Darkened the lightest hair color to match better with Minerva. Been referencing a lot from the official Minerva artwork. I also cleaned up a bit of the black shadows on her armor to expand out a bit more and enclosed the pieces a bit more. Still thinking of how to do the gold trimming without messing up the flow. Lot of trial and error to come. :\ Edited July 16, 2014 by Fateborn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siuloir Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) I don't think her head is actually that big. But I'll see what I can do to ease it. It's about 8 pixels higher and wider still than Oswin's, who is an adult male almost certainly larger than Minerva.

You need to consider that the mugs aren't to scale. Sometime you need to scale it up to looks good. Sometime you need to scale it down to look better. It's a similar case as Idoun. Her dragon mug aren't certainly that scaled size, yet it looks good. I think her head is fine the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idenn is a tiny, waiflike girl as a human. Put her mug next to say, Hawkeye's. (Her dragon mug is also pretty heinous, but that's another story.) Proportion is pretty important in art.

Fateborn Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) . . . Does this look better? The only reason why I didn't really want to shrink it was because I'm not talented enough to replicate the face if I have to go further. (Two pixel down, one pixel from right, and another pixel from left) Edited July 16, 2014 by Fateborn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghast Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Her dragon mug aren't certainly that scaled size, yet it looks good. nothing in fe6 looks good lets get serious. Does this look better? she's just as wide as Jasmine or whatever that desert lunk is. so that should answer your question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book of Ereshkigal Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) You need to consider that the mugs aren't to scale. ...eer. Most of the humans are scale to each other. If you go through all them and measure their heads they're all 48 to 51 pixels tall(excluding small children mugs, I believe. Now, characters like Myrrh and other really young characters aren't in scale when it comes to their actual height, but the GBA games don't use enough screenspace to account for that anyway), if we're using that as our measuring point.

Fateborn Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'm going on a vacation for three days, no idea if I'll have access to a computer and internet, so here's the latest update. I think I'm quite fond of it now. I'll be back on Friday night central time for anyone curious. I'm going to Chicago with my half brother's family as part of their 'final' family spending time since two of his children were about to disappears from their house. (One going to college, another almost finished with H.S) They invited me and my mother (who is his mother so he's my half brother) to go along too. This will be either wickedly fun. Or it'll end in a disaster. Hoping for the former... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really hard to tell where you're going with this since your updates are very small, but trim should usually be edged in the darkest armor shade, and the trim itself needs more colors (which I assume is what you're working on.)

I will when i get home, no paint on these computer apparently, oh well. Wanted to get rough sketch of the trim to make them easier on me since i forget things when i don't do them. I think doing trim with lightest color is easier than darkest color but i hadnt tested that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fateborn Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Back home, and already started on the minerva again. Shaded armor, trimified her trimming, and fixed up a bit of her hair. Debating whether to put on the white pluff of cloth on her collar or not. Edited July 19, 2014 by Fateborn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astelaine Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I know it was addressed earlier in the thread, but she is still way too big if you plan to insert her into a hack or display her alongside other characters. Here she is posed next to Miledy (her FE6 expy): They don't look like they belong in the same game - so I agree with earlier crits and hope you will consider them. Her trim looks very jagged as well and needs more smoothing. Good luck with the rest though, you have some great stuff to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fateborn Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 I know about the head. I'd need to make a brand new head copy to port over. It's more challenging to resize/rescale than fixing problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
