vilkalizer Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Top hats are quite rad, I'm glad we can all agree. I recommend maybe trying out a bit more contrast in the greens. Maybe utilizing that darkest green after all? Its not bad colors, just thinking a bit more color/hue seperation would help them pop a bit more... also would help the outline be less harsh. Yeah, that looks pretty nice. If I can get skill battle animations to work in FE8, I'll have to include that sword monk It's going to need more polish if it's to be used for anything more than a silly gif, though.

ErrantDShepherd Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Yeah, colors look great to me now. Fits with regular FE sprites even better now.(Still think bandanna and some sorta red sash across chest/partially under beard and red belt sash would look really good. ;p ) Like where you are going with the design though.

vilkalizer Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 From one thing to another! Do you like axe lords? Because I like axe lords. I know it says she has a sword equipped, ssh, it is a work in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fateborn Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I do like me some axe lord, but that doesn't warrant lyn animation >:( at least use blade lord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErrantDShepherd Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Its cool. I saw a similar attempt at giving Lyn an Axe with the same problem here though. Need some different Axe angles, like in Hawkeye's berserker Axe sprites to make the attack look right. With it ending with the Axe pointing towards the ground it looks more like she slapped the brigand with the Axe rather than sliced him. Need to have some indication with horizontal strikes that the edge has cut the victim. Its why most Axe strikes sprites are vertical to avoid having to make angled perspective Axe blades... They are a pain to get right. Edited March 4, 2015 by TheErrantShepherd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet_Basil Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I like it, can you do one with Eirika? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Pretty cool. I agree with errant on the axe angles, and it's also pretty weird that she makes the sheathing motion, and then immediately undoes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you telling me that wouldn't hurt? actually I think I've found the reason behind Lyn's crummy damage output... I like it, can you do one with Eirika? I could, but it would involve a complete animation overhaul, so in practice it's probably not going to happen. I mean, a cutting sword and axe are similar enough in that you hit them with the sharp bit, but Eirika's animation is all about thrusting, which is kinda awkward with an axe. Pretty cool. I agree with errant on the axe angles, and it's also pretty weird that she makes the sheathing motion, and then immediately undoes it. That's just the return, not the sheathing animation - I took that out. Sheathing happens after she lands and stands up, while the hair is swinging. Anyway, after some more polish... Took out some stray pixels I missed, added dodge animation, made the swing pierce, angled the axe, and smoothed the part where she sets it down. Still not entirely happy with that bit, but it's good enough for now. Edited March 5, 2015 by vilkalizer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levin64 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Dear me, those are nice animations! Do Lyn Blade Lord nao! But her attack animation is too quick, axes are supposed to be heavy, and I think it's weird if she attacks too fast. And don't forget, some axe users build power or speed before swinging the axe, like Fighter's and Hector's. Except if they are strong enough to lift it without building power, then... yeah. And also her dodge animation needs some fixing. Her face and her hair really have to be fixed. She doesn't look beautiful that way tho which saddens me :'( Sorry if I have a lot of wrong selection of words, because English is not my mother tongue.

vilkalizer Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 I guess I could have her pause longer before the attack comes out.The dodge is just her unarmed dodge animation from the game; all I did was add the axe. What's the problem with it, exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilkalizer Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Critical axe hit to the face! Batta's gonna feel that in the morning.Holy shit this has been a pain in the ass. Not so much the spriting, that took less time than the regular attack, but getting it in the game... Well, anyway. Fun seeing it in action, either way.

ErrantDShepherd Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Lyn clearly needed to axe Batta a very important question... "Would you like me to inform your next of kin now, or after 5 seconds?" -Axe looks better now. Nice improvement... Lyn is looking good chopping up Brigands like firewood. :D Edited March 6, 2015 by TheErrantShepherd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vilkalizer Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) If you need help scripting I can lend a hand That'd be great. I made a thread over here detailing the issue I'm running into if you'd like to take a look. Lyn clearly needed to axe Batta a very important question... New hack idea: Play as Batta's elderly mother seeking revenge on the green-haired demon who killed her son. Her head is weird on the final stance, for me. ...I'm starting to realize that the heads are actually different on the armed and unarmed dodge frames (why intsys you fuckers) so the next time I remake it I guess I'll just copy-paste the head from the armed dodge.

vilkalizer Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Ended up distracted. Also ended up with a crazy skeletal Hector. Eventually managed to get a handaxe animation working as well! The actual animation may not be the greatest, but I'm pretty satisfied with it anyway. (Alternately, youtube.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
