Face totally looks better, but the arm still looks a little too round to me. It's much better than what it was, but it still looks puffy. The shading is good though.



I hope you don't mind but I edited myself to help explain what I meant. You see how your arm curves out really far from the armor? It makes it look like the armor doesn't fit or that he has a large tumor on his arm. If you make the arm straighter, it looks like it fits better. (Btw I used dart's arm if you're wondering).

That splice isn't that bad. I do actually like it. I'm seeing a lot of improvement. Good work.

If you want go ahead, but you might want to try it yourself to just for practice. Just so you know, I think you have a couple skin tones in there, very subtle differences but they're there. Just stick it in usenti and you should see it.

Yeah I love usenti cause if you have one sprite in there, and then paste a new one in, it will automatically recolor it to the closet it can get to the original sprite.

Looks alright to me. And you're right, I do think it's a little beefy, but it's MUCH better than when you started.

And actually, the neck might be like a pixel or two wide, touch that up and it should be fine.

Arm is better, something about the outline looks a little blocky, but it's fine.

The neck could be a bit thinner, try taking off one or two pixels on the right side (our pov)

[raigntk]

[Sea Lion]

Huh, yeah I tried messing around with the neck too, I dunno why but I can't do much to fix it really. I'll try harder in the morning when I'm not tried/lazy.

Actually if I could pitch in here... I think shift it on the left side from our pov because comparing it to the chin and how other mugs have it, it may need to come in a bit more. Hope this works.

EDIT: Er, uh.... well maybe not all of the FE mugs have it in closer. But if it looks wide that's what I'd recommend...

[raigntk]

[Freohr Datia]

Yeah it definitely looks better! I think I kinda wanna wait on someone else's opinion too though because I still kinda feel I'm a bit new at this (either that or I'm horrible at proportioning with humans) so I'd wait for someone who do know how to proportion. =]

[Sea Lion]

Alright, I think I figured out what I don't like about the neck, it's not that it's too thick, it's too straight. If you look at the right edge of the neck (our pov) it's a perfectly straight line. However, if you look at literally any gba sprite they all have a slight slant to them. Reference sad or mad eliwood for a good example of what I mean.

Ok so I had to change his hair color because it blended in way to well with his skin, so it's blue now. Hopefully the neck is ok now though.

[Sea Lion]

You've got the right idea, you just need to shade it more where there's the shift in width now, otherwise it'll look like he has a block sticking out of his neck.

Ok so I tweaked Andrew a bit so he should be set. I also decided to do a fairly simple splice for a mage. I think it turned out pretty well.

Here's small edit on andrew



His name is Paul.
