Just started spriting maybe 7 months ago but I didn't do anything for about 3 months of those 7 because I was busy with other stuff, and then i moved to texas and was without a computer for about a month. So since I'm relatively new to spriting I would like critique on stuff that i put up. The stuff that i'm making solely for the fe8 sequel won't be posted here until I've posted it over in it's thread. For now I'm only putting up stuff that i've already made.


This is what Acheron was originally going to look like. I changed it because this just looks wierd on the left side.

I'm not sure what i made this for, but since I don't still have the bases for it(had to format C because Vista broke)I haven't continued work on it. Maybe I will eventually but i'm not too fond of it.

Just a spellsword I'm planning on using for the fe8 sequel. I don't have all of the animation finished yet, just two or three modes.

and this is my most recent and favorite mug. I don't know why but this was so much fun to make.

the title makes me chuckle

The fourth one looks cool but the first and second one have something about them that doesn't make them look as good. (don't ask for specifics I'm not good at sprites)

[^Leo^]

i know exactly what's wrong with them. the first one has a ****ed up face and the second one's hairband doesn't fit on the head as well as i wanted it too and I had to do something else then Vista broke before i got back to it. Basically I just never feel motivated to fix something that isn't going anywhere in the first place, thus why the fourth one is the best in my opinion

well after quite a long break from spriting this is what i came up with. i still can't make shit that looks good =/ i know there's something wrong with the left(our left that is)side of his face. i'm thinking of making his nose smaller to help with that, but it's the eye that really bothers me. i tried playing around with it but i can't quite figure out what it is that's bothering me so any suggestions would be wonderful. real reason i'm posting this is because i want it in my hack(and since i'm too lazy to stare at it trying to figure it out i'm gonna ask you guys to help me out here). anyway is there anything not so obvious that i'm missing? i looked at it a few times and didn't notice anything big except his face, but i'm sure there's something so any help here is appreciated.

The left eye is indeed kinda weird and I can't really tell where it's facing. His face also does seem a bit small--it looks like his head is kinda tilted a bit but it's not like fixed enough that it looks right. Maybe try using a more generic face angle/structure or perhaps referencing something like it and trying to alter it--I can't pinpoint what exactly the issue is either but it might take a little facial restructuring on the left side (along with a possible eye fix).

Also unrelated I feel like he's got a sort of weird color scheme since every part of his body/outfit is a different color and I dunno I just don't feel like it meshes well

[^Leo^]

the color scheme is on purpose; he's colorblind(i needed a comic relief thing since i plan on making the story pretty heavy). not sure how i'm gonna integrate it just yet but i put that project aside for now. my creativity flew out the door since because minor depression problems. i probably should work on it just because i need something to do but i really just don't want to you know? anyway i'm probably just going to focus on my battle sprites for a little while. been working on something cool for awhile but i only have the standing and dodge frames started(gonna be a dragon-laguz type thing, but half-shifted so he's all scaly but still uses a either a spear or an ax. i know i said i was taking the manakete class out, but i decided otherwise since i had the idea for this thing. the manakete girl(emmmm....can't believe i forgot the name) is going to promote into/out of this class. like maybe she's still learning to transform when you meet her.

back on topic, i've got a few things in the works right now that won't be finished for a long while because i just don't want to work on them right now. i'm going to be putting most of my effort into the half-dragon thing until it's at a point where i can actually use it. also i'm working on an armored mage type thing right now. it's a druid base, but instead of the big robes it has big armor. nowhere near being finished atm, but i'ts going a lot faster than the dragon thing since i don't have to do almost everything by hand.

[Fire Blazer]

Hmm, I see. An armored mage is interesting in theory but I feel like if they have armor it should be lighter armor, I just can't imagine this big fat knight like Oswin being able to use magic, haha.

That's just my random thought though so don't pay it much mind haha

[^Leo^]

it's not going to be General sized armor =P i'm thinkin' something just a bit smaller than druid. actually now that i think about it i could use Lyon for the base instead of a druid. just remove the cape and give him some armor instead of his royal clothing.
