Hopefully you guys will like these (crappy) icons I made. I made an Anastasia icon from Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings. Obviously, don't use without permission.

The general design is good, but the lack of shading looks kinda wierd.

Well, for me, there wasn't much to work with the actual Anastasia, that and the limited palette kinda just, but i see your point.

Yeah, you kinda striped the blade. It's a cool enough look in its own way, but try shading it!

That was kinda the point in recreating the Anastasia. If you searched FFXII Anastasia or something related, then you'll see that it's kinda striped. And, I'm already going over it because it's kinda like a Lancereaver below the blade.

Yes, you definitely should be hopeful. Wait...

I'm trying to figure out a creative and witty way to insult your sprites just cause I'm a jerk, but it's not coming to my head...

Well, may as well leave useful criticism then. When shading blade icons, you should keep the top and bottom sections that are split by a centrepiece a different colour; one should be lighter and another darker. This way you can better convey dimensions. Also, the 3 lines on your blade are rather... Odd.

Otherwise, do more. It's not enough to really comment on.

@Blazer: I will do more.

@Lancer, thanks for the tips, but, the actual sword has weird patterns like waves from one side to the other of the blade, a blue gem between the pommel and blade, and regular sword thingies between said waves.

The sword still has the same problem IMO, since you still have both sides of the sword the same color. As for the mug I don't think it's bad, it's actually pretty good. The only problem is that the hood goes realllllllllllllly high. Like unrealistlicly high. His head wouldn't end up there. If you lowered the peak of the hood alot it would look better. If you need a guide I think you should use the head of the original sprite and add a few pixels on top.

...
A: you are right on the icon.
B: i guess i could lower the peak.

Edit: Newer icon (but probably still has problems)
Edit 2: The splice is supposed to be unisex since i can't code the events so that there would be a different portrait and class like Arch did in Elibian Nights.
Edit 3: (Horrible!) Blinking frames.

The head and the hood together is 53 pixels. If you reference other FE Mugs, it should be around 50-51 pixels. There should also be some shading between the face and the hood, and the trim should probably have more contrast. When he's at his third blinking frame, his eyes are kind of cut off. The hood's shading is also a bit chunky. Not bad otherwise!

At this point, I'm just gonna assume that not a lot of people are gonna pay attention to this, but i have (somehow) sprited 2 tomes: Rexcalibur from FE9 and Arcwind from FE10 and kept the Astralia icon. Will post a sprite sheet of the Sliver Knight class.

The first one is cool, but reminds me a lot of the lancereaver.

The weapon icons are... okay, but I find the color combination a little awkward, though that's probably just because I'm used to certain colors being used together, so it's not a big deal. biggrin.gif

Okay, well, i actually gave up on part of the weapon for the first icon. For other two, i chose those colors because of the 16 color limit but, thanks.

Well, just doing this for getting criticism, and i now have a new Astralia icon (referencing Regal Blade) and made a sucky GBA version of the FE9/10 Brave Lance.

Ok, first off, it's realllllllllly big. I played the prologue and if you're going to keep the same events then you should probably make it smaller. Much smaller XD

As for the map:
1. Spam: Lots of tile spam, the forts, the forests and the grass are very very spammy. For the forsts spread them out a bit, and use some of the different tiles, and for the grass just mix them up. Adding Light/Dark grass would make it look less spammy too. The forts just look wierd IMO, I don't really think they should be surrounding the castles like that.

2. Paths: They are way too straight, at least IMO I have a bit of a "no straight paths at all" thing but they are way to straight and not varied enough.

3. Cliffs, ok so the cliffs are spammy, you used the same tile for most of it and they are backwards, the ones in the middle I mean. Also I don't really see what they are doing there.........

4. Lack of Rivers and Mountains: OK so this isn't 100% unnecessary but normally when you have a bigger outdoor map you want to put some mountains in, it takes up some space, makes your map look cooler and if you use them right they add an obstacle (if you wanted the cliffs to be a barrier between the two castles then a mountain might work better). Keep in mind though that mountains are the hardest part of mapping, at least IMO Gold back me up here.
Rivers you should almost always have in a map this big, it looks cool plus they, again, takes up some space and act as obstacles.

EDIT: I forgot to link to this, it's a great tutorial on mapping: http://serenesforest...0
