Spriting Help Needed Options

[Blazer]

I need chibis and frames (blinking and talking frames, to be specific).

I don't know if anyone has the skill, but I also need them formatted (either in the newest format or the format version before that).

The chibis should resemble the figure, have a good size, be chibi (no nose, correct mouth, bottom portion of body cut-off with mainly the head, etc.) and the frames... I'm afraid if I say "decent" quality I'll only get mediocre so they need to be good frames.

Right, so if anyone can help, let me know, and then I'll actually get the sprites from NayrisPwn so people can help. :\

I can help but i need to know the newest format since i haven't done that in a while.

This:

Mug fits in a 96 x 80 square, surrounded by the 32 x 16 frames... Smiling frames on the first three on the first row below, right to left from closed to open mouth, same with the regular talking frames on the bottom...

The fourth one on the first row (the rightmost) I think is the closed mouth one displayed on the screen when you attack (while choosing your weapons... not sure), I just put a clone of the regular, non smiling closed mouth frame...

Lilina's mug still has that "open mouth smile" when you look at her mug in the status screen...

You can see how the half open and closed eye frames are... and the chibi is a 32 x 32 square above the half open eyes...

[Kai Shiden]

is there a specific way you need to obtain the postions of the eye and nose? or do i just shove them into those rectangles and hope for the best?

(from my recollection of what i remember was that they had to fit in specific spots or something like that. Maybe thats changed now.)

[shadowofchaos]

Use the "Grid" function on Lilina's image provided... They have to fit in the 8 x 8 boxes snugly basically...

Ace has a tutorial on it too I think... I'll link to it later on... but for now, I need sleep X_X

[Blazer]

You can do it in the older format too, but not a super old format. I wish I had an image, but I have a feeling you're familiar with it.

In fact, if you do it in the older format, it's less work for me. ._.

[The Good Guy]

I can do it in the 264x48 format pretty quickly. I can do the new format as well, I just prefer the older one for some reason.

[Blazer]

Whatever works, as I said, the older format is fine, and less work for me. If you use the newer format, I'll just end up inserting it into a garbage ROM, loading it with an older version of FEditor Adv, and exporting it in the old format anyway. >_>

[Kai Shiden]

Lol i just figured out how to do the new format, but is the older format the one in your tutorial? i can do it that way too.

[The Good Guy]

So...
Does this mean i can help?

[NicktMayCry™]

Like I said on FEND Keriku, I'm here if you need the help.
I can have the sheets done in next to no time, maybe half an hour tops per sheet, some as quick as 5-10 minutes If I'm focused enough.
:/

^And that's doing all the frames and mini from scratch, fyi.

Yeah, the one in my tut is the older format. I have to use the old version of FEditor Adv to prevent crashing my ROM and crap (which is a problem because I need to import a few animations from FE8 but it's a pain to do it without FEditor Adv...).

Yes Uphir, you can help formatting, but there won't be too much of that I don't think.

Well, I need frames, chibi, and formatting for this guy:

I need a quality portrait for this guy:

Ethan (Knight) - A young Etrurian subcommander. He shouldn't have extremely bulky armor or anything but obviously since he's a knight he still needs armor. I'd prefer if he had blondish hair or something, and the armor color should be anything but blue (the allies are blue, so yeah...).

Also, could you go into more detail about Ethan? :)

[Kai Shiden]

The resemblence to Rorona Zoro is uncanny...
Basically i think for Ethan we should be looking at a cross between Percival and a generic bad guy knight, then. I'll take a shot. Wait is it a horse knight or an armoured knight?

[NicktMayCry™]

I'm thinking armour knight.
So maybe not Percival, as he has a cape.
Maybe go for one of the FE6 Etrurian Cavaliers or the armoured characters of FE7 for the body.
I'm guessing the head is free game, good luck. (Y)

[Blazer]

More details, kay.

Ethan is very young. Think of him as like a teen-aged knight (17-21 years old). He should have short and spiky hair (kind of like Gatrie, but his hair shouldn't go so high, and he should have a bit more serious of an expression). He's an armor knight (FE7 and 8 just say "Knight" so I don't find it necessary to dictate if its a social or armor knight usually). As I said, the armor should be light but fitting. Skin tone should be very light. Hair should preferably be blond. Armor should be some color that is preferably not red, blue, brown, or yellow (red is overused, blue is for allies, brown is ugly like dirt, and yellow is too bright + no real soldier wears yellow). A dark green, orange, light grey, tan, or dark purple might work. No light green, bluish, turquoise, or bluish-greyish (they're already used by knight characters). The eyes should be kind of wide (not like squinty or evily). No, just because he is a young boss that doesn't mean he's recruitable (some people think that).

I hope that's enough info, I can't think any more details up...

^The portrait is Roronoa Zoro, one of the 3 cameos in Tactics Universe. I can do that kinda stuff. XD

By the way, thanks for the frames. I admit, that was quick. Or maybe I'm used to waiting on people too much.

The first filler boss needs frames and chibi. The latter 2 are for anyone who is bored and want to help me with a totally unrelated project, I don't need them. XD

I'll get to the other two later, sorry.

[Kai Shiden]

Hmm okay, i've started it, he will ahve purple armour, a youthful and "good alignment" look, with blonde hair, that wears armour like an armour knight. I thought Etruians had a longer hair look like Percival, Pent, Klein, Helene, Louise and Clarine?

EDIT: Here is Ethan so far...

Now I made the head first so that was before i read the 2nd description, so I can change his haircut, if you want me too.

EDIT EDIT: did the formatting for Lloyd
