Xortberg Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 It's not that hard, actually. Splicing just means looking for different pieces of the sprites that look like they'd fit together, then cutting and pasting them into a different sprite. Occasionally you have to do a bit of work filling in the spots that don't fit perfectly, but that's never too hard. As for recoloring, it's intimidating until you learn how Fire Emblem sprites are set up. Counting the transparent background, there's 16 colors in each. The hair usually has three shades of the same color, and the same goes for the skin and the clothes. From there, it's just a matter of replacing the existing colors with different ones, which with a few tricks in Paint is easy as hell. So yeah, making spliced sprites isn't all that difficult. In fact, maybe I'll pick it up again and see if I can do any custom work with practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxMcCloud Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I am so pumped just to be narrating EVERY....THING...THAT you do. I expect notices and I will make you a theme song. I am tempted just to do this. Hayley should get one as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoux Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Woah, sounds pretty time consuming. But freakin' awesome! The outcome looks pretty great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xortberg Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Well, thanks very much. I still can't hold a candle to some of the really prominent spriters in the FE community, like The Blind Archer or MK404, but I do like to think I'm at least somewhat competent.

Xortberg Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 SHAZAM. My first ever piece of tablet art. I forgot to do her other back leg, and everything else is pretty shitty. BUT I'LL GET BETTER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xortberg Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Welp, here's some more stuff from my tablet. Red and a random guy in the Livestream liked it, but it still sucks compared to how good I want to be. So, I suppose I'll just have to practice some more, huh?

Xortberg Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Aaand my long hiatus is hopefully over. Some videos Fluxy linked me to, along with watching Redeemer draw, totally inspired me to draw something again. Of course, I've not practiced really at all for over a month, and I kinda rushed this out something fierce, but meh. If it gets me over my laziness, it's a success. For those who aren't a Digimon fantard like me, it's Rika from Tamers as a pony. It'll most likely be followed by Takato and Henry, and maybe even the Digimon, because I'm on a huge Tamers kick right now. Also, I'll just take this moment to shamelessly plug my Deviantart page: http://xortberg.deviantart.com/ Everything I post here gets posted there first, so be a cool hipster kid and see my art before everyone else by watching me Disclaimer: I hate hipsters, and you should too. Never try to be one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
