Who did you use for the face? It looks like a splice but I can't tell who, and it's bothering me.

Btw, the hair is freaking amazing. I don't understand how you can shade it so well...

[Vamp]

I FC'd the face(along with the whole mug), though the pose is similar to rennac's i guess?

[Vamp]

FE7x - Mundus, Nabatan Guardian, Swordmaster
I think i might need his right arm to raise slightly in frame 3 as it's a bit stark in the anim, though this might just be because the anim cuts off, I'll make sure I double check it after adding some more frames to be sure it works, if not then I'll have a transitional arm movement thing

[Vamp]

Ms paint is messing with my gif colours so i've lost a few tones, the animations' more to check for flow atm I'll sort the colours out eventually *maybe save the gif's on photoshop*
Anyways, added the half raised arm in frame 3 so it flows more smoothly, just need to tweak the 2nd row of frames so they're smoother now, mainly the kilt as I think the hair falls nicely.

[Vamp]

Kilt update, and used ps for gif this time so no colour loss.

[Fire Blazer]

Ooh, very nice. The outline seems kinda bad at the end in the transparent GIF but only in the transparent one. I think it flows fine, there is not much you can do to make it flow much better.

I'll be honest, I'm slightly surprised to see battle sprites from you, Vamp. =O

[Vamp]

I've done a few checks over medium-level colours, and the swords come out pretty good on anything but like, white, so theoretically in-game an incomplete sword outline shouldn't show up because the backgrounds are fairly dark, if it does i can edit one in at a later date


Bit of an update, he still needs to hit with his other sword as he turns, but getting close and closer to beign done.

Need to fix the size difference in the landing after the hit frame, he's a little larger than he should be there.

EDIT: woops almost forget "that's yeti's soldier, not mine"

[Fire Blazer]

Lulz didn't look like yours and I was thinking "kinda looks like BwdYeti's style/quality of sprite...".

My only other complaint is that he seems a TAD bit too close. Aside from the fact that you'd almost think he'd get impaled, he needs space to swing his sword, which he can't do if his body is near touching the soldier.

Also, is the landing of his feet parallel to where he started, when taking into account that he is bending?

Last thing, I'm going to feel bad for him when he gets stabbed, because it will be straight in the back... and only cowards show their back to the enemy

[Vamp]

He's not going to pause there, he's going to finish spinning and hit with his other sword so it's going to hopefully flow much better at that point, the spacing with the soldier is the melee range in fe games(I'm pretty sure as i used a still of yeti's as a base for it)

Soldier is only there so i can gauge my attack distance etc correctly, he could theoretically be any enemy unit so the stabbed by lance thing is just something that's going to be lol'd at with any jumping unit attacking him.

As you know fe attack sequences can't be countered and the enemy remains still till the attack is over.

[Fire Blazer]

Meh I get what you're saying but I'm just thinking distance-wise he should be a few more pixels to the right. Just a little and I think it'd help, but that's just my opinion so do whatever you want...

[Vamp]

It's not about doing what I want, It's about doing what fits in the battle platform nicely :P lol

[Fire Blazer]

Hah, okay then, do that. lol

[Vamp]

(EEP yeti told me he's already further from the soldier than he should be, that' sucks )
anywayyyss....

Fe7x - Horace - Etrurian Paladin - Drinking Champion

[Vamp]

Horace update

Re-did a lot of the hair shading, re-angled his breastplate triangle thing, messed with the face and a few other things.

[Fire Blazer]

He's an OC, right? Because the name sounds eerily familiar...

[Vamp]

Well myke did the base design then I messed with it a bit and chose colours and the likes, he's an enemy(boss) and he's not in any pre existing games, must just be a coincidence or something on the name.

[Vamp]

Tinkered with Vaida further, body angle, hood, face a little, and overall positioning.

[Fire Blazer]

Question, we ARE seeing her back, right?

[Vamp]

Yes (I thought you saw the fullbody and that explained it?)

[Fire Blazer]

Maybe I did, but I can't remember.

And the portrait just looks so very, very odd, mainly because that hoody thing gives some ambiguity to her positioning, which SHOULD be very obvious, because the size of the shoulder plates has been reversed, if you know what i mean (usually the angle dictates that the left shoulder plate appears smaller than the right because less of the left shoulder plate can be seen, etc., and the right shoulder plate is bigger, but the opposite happens, but I still wasn't sure that it was her backside and not some other side >_>).
