An update to a few of the characters in the script. And all allied units are going to have their own classes. XD Considering there isn't going to be that many units recruited in the first place, I figured why not? Cause a lot of the other classes are gonna be turned into different kinds of demons!

[Fitz24]

Omg, that pupil, ew, ew, ew. Fix......everything. It literally looks like a turd with hair.

The mage's face is off. The left side (Our POV) is too far out.

The swordmaster's neck is broken or something.....

[arimibn]

That's the Fitz I know! XD

BTW, could you be a little more specific?

Like...

Which mage? There's two.
If you're talking about Ismail, his face is supposed to look as though he's hanging his head down, and the same with the swordmaster. But I'm curious as to who's pupil you're talking about. I'm a bit confused there. Could you be a little more elaborate?

[Fitz24]

There's a Pupil, and a Light Mage......I thought that'd be easy to decipher.....
Ismail looks terrible, even if his head is supposed to hang down....it looks dumb. The shading is terrible.
Nora's face is too wide for that hair.
Samir's neck is still broken, even hanging his head down...

[SmashedFish]

I guess the post didn't go through (it's not showing up anyway) but-

Samir's coat is all a.) one shade, which is bad, and that one color is b.) really saturated c.) dark black. Black could work as a coat color, but lean on the lighter side, and make it less saturated. I mean it hurts my eyes at lowest screen brightness. >_>

[arimibn]

@ Fitz OH! That's what you meant by pupil! XD I thought you were referring to the pupils in their eyes! XD
As for Ismail, I'll try and fix him up, but he's supposed to still look "Messy". He's a character based off of my little brother. And trust me My lil bro looks messy. His hair is supposed to have a "Half brushed down" look to it, but as for the neck, do you know a better way I could portray his head hanging down? I'm clueless there.
I fixed up Samir's neck, but for some reason Photobucket doesn't like to update pics, and I don't feel like saving a whole new pic when the old one's gonna update in like...an hour. XD
As for Nora what do you mean by her face is too wide for her hair? I'm curious as to how I could "fix" that. But I'll take a closer look and see if I can fix anything up.

@ Ecto A lot of things'll hurt your eyes at lowest screen brightness. XD

His coat's NOT one shade. It's 3. They're all shades of black though. If ya turned up ur brightness a bit, you'd notice that.

I like my "blacks" to be a bit darker cause the "Black" in the Fire Emblem games doesn't really look like black to me. It looks more like Dark Grey. But hey, that's just the way I like my characters to look. Also, I just like pitch black more.


@ Both of ya. But thanks for the feedback, I'll try and fix em up a bit if I can. But meh.

[Axel]

.. Those sprites.. aren't good..

I somewhat like the story, though?

[arimibn]

Bland insults will be ignored.

Bland insult = what you did.
critique = Tell what you don't like and how you think to make it better.

I'm just...
saiyan.

On the other note. Thanks! Story writing is something I'm actually pretty decent at! XD

[arimibn]

UPDATE
I fixed up Ismail's sprite a bit. I decided to tidy him up a bit. Whatcha think? As for Nora, I'm stuck. I'll try her again later. XD
Whatcha think? Be honest. And please be elaborate if it's an insult.
Tell me what you didn't like. Don't just say..."I don't like it." Like...say what ya don't like about it!
ANYWAY Thanks for the comments everyone! XD

[Fitz24]

You changed Ismail? Where? I don't see...ANY change any of these sprites whatsoever. His eyes and face is not aligned correctly. The right eye (Our POV) needs to be move left maybe 3-4 pixels and down 1.
Also, his colors suck. Waaaaaayy to bright and not Fire-Emblem-y.
And, the shading, even though I have never done a black character, just doesn't look right. The shading is so pillow-y. Not my biggest concern....but, may need to look at it.

[arimibn]

I fixed up Ismail's face a lil bit and hair hairdo. And thanks for the tip on his eyes. I'll try it out a lil later. My little brother likes to use Brighter colors in his wardrobe. And I know I use brighter colors. That's the style I'm gonna use for my characters in my hack. The regular characters colors seem a bit...Duller. So I planned to brighten them up a bit. I'm curious though. Is it too bright to the point of hurting your eyes? Cause if so, I'll tone it down a bit. But if it's just that it looks out of typical Fire Emblem style, then that's a minor concern to me.
As for the shading..I'm not sure how I could fix that. Could you link me to a tutorial perhaps? I don't think I'll be able to fix that without a little more in depth help.

Overall, as always your feedback is GREATLY appreciated Fitz.

[Fitz24]

There, I fixed him up real quick. I hope you see what I meant.

[arimibn]

Ah! I see! So his eyes were too far apart! Thanks Fitz! I REALLY appreciate that you showed me. It woulda taken me a LOT longer to notice.

[arimibn]

An update.

I decided to re-do Nora. Why does she look so much like Eirika? Cause I don't know how to do girls all too well. Hahaha...
Fitz helped me out with Ismail.
I did another character named Trena. Anything I need to fix?
Trena's Battle sprite was made by my buddy Wolfie.
And just in case I haven't said this yet, cause I know I forget stuff a lot, the battle sprite for my character was made by Rag.

Ismail still looks ****ing stupid.

..He has a dent in his head, and his eyes are.. just awful.

I see what you mean, but can you think of a better way to say it? For example:

Ismail's eyes seem too low on his head, but there's no room for them any higher. They also seem tilted kinda weirdly. I'd recommend either picking new, smaller eyes or extending his headband to the point where it'd fit over them. Either way, the forehead needs shading where it meets the headband.

[arimibn]

@Roxas AND? That's nothing but a bland insult. Not as bland as your other one, but still a bland insult nonetheless.

@Ecto Smaller eyes. Got it. Shading under headband. Got it. Thanks bro.

In regards to the "dent" in his head. Have you ever seen what my brother looks like? Doubt it. Smaller kid means smaller face. Isn't this supposed to be a CARTOONISH version of him? Oh wait. Yes it is. If you have a suggestion on how to make something better, feel free to complain all you want.

[Axel]

So you're saying your brother has a dent in his head..? What happened to him? Dropped on his head? .. Cause no other kid I've ever seen has dents in their heads unless they're retarded or deformed.

Just Sayin..

[arimibn]

Your face has a dent in it. Lol

[Axel]

Whatever, lol.
