Feaw Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Happy new year folks!~I've been trying to make the colors in Alan's and Lance's portraits match their official arts more, however, since I'm not the best with portrait colors, I've been having a little bit of trouble, and I'm wondering if these could stand to improve some; https://i.gyazo.com/d6eff60eb7728d16f32bfc9067b7d172.png I think the one at the top looks fine, but it's not too accurate still, and whenever I try to make it more orange or dull like in the art (see the middle one), it just looks off. The hair as well to a lesser extent. https://i.gyazo.com/77198a27c8d9656dd3a2192c5752876a.png Lance wasn't as hard, and I think it doesnt look too bad, but I'd still like to know if it's good enough or not.So blast your opinions this way, and if you feel like they could be improved, your help is greatly appreciated!

Feaw Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Late how? I'm intending to do something different than what you're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feaw Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 After some discussion with some spriters, these are the new versions;So unless anyone spots any quirks in them, I think they're good as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarinets Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) i like lance a lot Was the pun intentional? The recolors look pretty good. Alan doesn't look very different but Lance's hair looks very nice. Edited January 3, 2016 by ClarinetsandOboes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) but they're just recolors is this all you wanted to do? Edited January 3, 2016 by :smug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book of Ereshkigal Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) but they're just recolors is this all you wanted to do? I appreciate good recolors. Maybe it'd be better to say... I appreciate good colors, FE6 could use more >.> Edited January 4, 2016 by L95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feaw Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 FE6 has some pretty good color choices... the execution is just bad very often, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 but they're just recolors is this all you wanted to do? To be fair, they were both in desperate need of recolouring. I swear Allan's armour would glow in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarinets Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 FE6 has some pretty good color choices... the execution is just bad very often, however. I had an idea. Maybe, to help you continue to improve with colors, you could continue recoloring some of the other sprites in the game that are poorly made? I'd actually be pretty interested in that.

That's precisely what I'm doing ;) I'm pretty good with colors, especially battle sprites, but portraits are sometimes a bit tricky, especially when the portrait isn't of that high quality.

Oh, I didn't know that. I'm excited to see what else you make! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Peachar Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I like fiddling with colors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teapot Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) I kind of feel like the contrast on them could be upped a little and made more vibrant. It's kind of like going between extremes; FE6 vanilla being too bright, and this version being a little too dull/dark. I do like where it's headed, though. Mind if I tinker?

Princess Peachar Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I feel as though Lance looks pretty good, but I agree that Alan is kinda just lacking depth. AK's contrast change helps with that a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feaw Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 So while GBA-ifying the colors, it automatically made the lightest armor shade a tad darker, which brings it to a nice contrast;Thanks a bunch Aeo :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
