Maritisa Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) As others have stated all it needs is a little motion to give the impression that she's moving backward and not just exploding into petals. https://i.gyazo.com/0b993c9f449e1e5727c101a556c01fad.pngLike this. Right now there's no momentum to it, so it feels more like an illusion pop than a dodge. The effect itself is very well done though. But yeah I think you might as well do fullcustoms for everyone at this point. Otherwise it'll seem a bit jarring to anyone who's familiar with the source animations...

circleseverywhere Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Thanks for the advice guys, I'll add a bit of anticipation to give it more life. The original plan was to have everyone be a lord edit ie Weiss-Eirika, Blake-Lyn, Ruby-Hector, Pyrrha-Ephraim (I'm flattered you think she's a custom but she's actually just Ephraim + Paladin - Horse), with Yang as the outlier. Plans change, and I reckon I could do full customs for everyone, but I'd rather have a good edit than a mediocre custom so when I change something it will be an improvement, not change for the sake of change.

The3rdCorinthian Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I can't give you any advice, but i just wanted to say that it is so fitting that Neptunes portait is a Sain recolour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klokinator Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Ruby-Hector wut Isn't she a female mage edit? Or do you mean hector's attacking motions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ycine Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 OOh. That some nice RWBY sprites you got here CirclesEverywhere. It's nice to see how you use the portrait of a lot of FE characters to create the portrait of RWBY characters. I never thought they were looking so alike. Nino as Ruby is a perfect fit! Sorry, I don't have advice 'cause I don't do sprites but good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circleseverywhere Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 wut Isn't she a female mage edit? Or do you mean hector's attacking motions? The only thing she really has in common with female mages is the idle frame. Her standard attack is based on Hector's Armads attack, and she will have a full custom crit. Probably also a full custom ranged attack, since it should be pretty easy to make a spell animation for a bullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circleseverywhere Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 New and improved dodge animation I'll get around to finishing Yang eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilkalizer Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 These are all really cool, but I think the working pre-battle frames are what impresses me most here. One could have a whole lot of fun with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circleseverywhere Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Well, it took a long time, but here she is! Probably still needs some fixing up here and there, that power aura seems a bit choppy (even though it's taken directly from Hectorcopter) and her boots keep changing height...

Toa Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 The hair looks like it could use some more shading, it just seems like a blob right now. I'd like to see her do some "ora ora ora" on the crit, or at least lay some combos down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circleseverywhere Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Argh where were you when I was asking if she should do an ORA ORA ORA Honestly though Yang is a very straightforward fighter compared to the others. She's less flash and more substance, which I think is appropriate here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvdrZim13 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) asking if she should do an ORA ORA ORA Isn't that answer to that question always yes? Definitely no Jojo bias here Edited October 6, 2015 by InvdrZim13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circleseverywhere Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 I take it there's no glaring problems with Neo's mug? Here's Adam, who will probably end up as the Camus: Bad guy WIPs for Torchwick and Cinder: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Adam's mask doesn't quite looks at the same angle as his face. His eyes seem a little high too. Hair and body shading are a little unpolished. The other 2 look nice so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circleseverywhere Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Quick tweak on the head angle and the eye holes: The eye holes are actually that high in the reference, though Hair is hard, send help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Worked on the hair and face. With your hair, you need to bring the lightest shade close to the edges of strands and make sure things are clearly defined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circleseverywhere Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 The hair looks much better, thanks. The new face looks a bit too old, I think. He's supposed to be around 19-20. Cinder's looking better, too: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circleseverywhere Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Started work on Mercury and Emerald: Torchwick is coming along: I'm not too sure about the body shading, and he doesn't quite match the 'Fire Emblem Style'. You look at it and immediately think "that's a custom mug". I don't know if that's necessarily a bad thing? Tweaked Cinder's face a bit: Mouth frames done for Adam: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circleseverywhere Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Argh Mercury and his stupid smug face I've been struggling for hours and it won't look right Emerald went a lot more smoothly And Torchwick is looking much better after he got the Smirks treatment.

circleseverywhere Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Ozpin's mug. I'm wondering if I should use a "normal" head angle instead. Moved Mercury's hair off his nose and shifted his eyes down a bit, now he looks less weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice job, I really like Emerald's pose. are you gonna revamp the main ladies? Thanks! I wasn't planning on doing it for a while but making chapters is tedious and spriting is fun So here's the new main 4 in varying stages of completeness: Ruby Weiss Blake Yang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I love a lot of the concepts of these, but most of your sprites feel unfinished due to lack of shading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
