Elias' sprites

[Elias]

Ok, Transforming my Attempt topic into a full on spriting topic. I know I'm not the best at it, but I find that I've been playing around with sprites far too much lately for me not to post them up. Also, I decided to use my old topic so I don't have to make a new one and clutter up the board.

Elias about to cast a spell.

The three Aidans




The Aidancoptor!
Elias casts fire! (the explosion's odd)
Firey JUSTICE ala Crimson Mage

The Lowell Family

[Gabriel]

Too...much...red.

Seriously, though, it looks good.

[Eric]

Wow...how many times have you done this?

[Elias]

About four or five. Though a year ago I read a lot of tutorials about basics. And yes, very very red. Elias is obsessed with the color red, and prefers to call himself "The Crimson Mage!" (exclamation point always included)

[Rayl Torien]

I think you've done a darn good job.

I never actually used tutorials myself because I was too lazy to read(as you could see from my history of Rayl picture on my sprite thread)... <_<; HUZZAH FOR LACK OF CARING!

[Eric]

I'll have to remember his obsession with red...wait, you let me forget it, will you? XD

You did something to the eyes, didn't you?

EDIT: Yes, yes you did. I just bothered to read the post.

Right, feedback. It's a solid sprite. Nothing too impressive, but no glaring flaws. The only advice I could give would be to not custom the eyes

[Elias]

The main reason I did anything was because Colm had such small and kinda beady eyes, and I didn't really like that. I noticed it looked a bit odd, but everytime I tried to fix it things were even worse. I guess I kinda just settled in frustration, it probably would of been best to just choose a different base if it bothered me that much I guess.

I like the eyes. How is there any problem with them...?

[Rayl Torien]

Agreed.

[Aaron Winsett]

I don't know why I haven't commented yet... I think the mug really matches what you've RPed so far. I like it. Keep it up.

I noticed the eyes too. His right eye looks a bit off. Eye work is probably my most difficult thing to work on, but I got the eye to look in the right direction. Sorry to do so uninvited, but here it is.



BTW. How did you fix the transparency?

[Saffra]

it's all in the way you formatted it. Before saving it, did you flatten the image? Also, what are you uing Aaron for when you do things? Only problems I've had are when I'm saving images, I first used a "Flatten Image" selection. That gave me the unwanted background. Also, maybe when you saved it, you didn't select "Transparent". it's hard to tell without seeing what ya did.

His eyes are looking in two different directions. His left eye is looking forward and his right eye is looking to the right.

[Elias]

Awesome! Thanks Aaron, I wasn't able to fix that. Everytime I tried something, it made it look like he had way too much eye, or his eye was looking in a really odd direction. I hope you don't mind that I removed the transparency.



I did the editing in paint, but the exporting and saving was done in GIMP. That's I used to fix the transparency issue.
