Current one, unchanged.

+4 AS and +5 DMG when moving 4 spaces or more.

+2 AS and +3 DMG on Player Phase, with additional +2 AS and +2 DMG when moving 4 spaces or more.

+1 AS and +1.5 DMG for each space moved up to 4 spaces.

Current one but AS bonus is converted to DR from the end of the Player Phase until the next one.

I don't know but I want to see the results.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Hmm. May I have Civ 4?

[birdy51]

Sounds like a good skill to me.

To jump on the free games train, I got seven Sid Meier Humble Bundle games that I don't want/already have, so does anyone want these?:

Civ III Complete
Civ IV Complete
Ace Patrol
Ace Patrol: Pacific Sky
Railroads
Civ V
Civ V: Gods and Kings

I suppose I'll take Civ V off your hands. I've never tried the series, but it looks interesting.

On topic though, whatever happened to the testing thread?

Civ III please?
((Have fun Birdy with both Civ V games ))

Also I'm not sure someone made the testing thread?

[SeriousConcentrate]

I have more gifts for my fellow FEFers. Who wants Five Nights At Freddy's or Home?

[Dwarmin]

Humm,

Xanmyral, do you still have Civ V: Gods and Kings? I'd like that...

[Haspen]

Gasp, a wild Dwarmin have arrived!

[Dwarmin]

Gasp, a wild Dwarmin have arrived!

I was only a temporary Fire Emblem-r! I don't owe anyone money, do I?

[SeriousConcentrate]

Hey, Dwarmin was in my game for the chapter it lasted, so, he counts.

[Sirus]

He was also in that one chapter of FEF1!

Some random FEF sprites I made for practice.

Some critique would be appreciated. :3

What a mysterious hat.

What a mysterious hat.

Me and GiglameshDespair have concluded that the "hat" is actually an alien life form.

The shading feels... off in some of them, especially the last one's shoulder/trim on his coat. Same with the collar on the girl. You seem to have cut their shoulders off awkwardly for a lot of them. Also the colors are rather.... something. Uh... Head of the second one doesn't seem to quite fit? Too small for how big the shoulders are maybe, also awkwardly positioned. Also I think you C/P'd a lot of things over other ones, which is fine, that's how you're supposed to splice, but then you didn't go in and fix the pixels on the edges of where you c/p'd. Biggest offenders are the first and third on this one. I'd need to take a more indepth look to figure out anything else, but that's just from a first look.

[Xanmyral]

What I've learned with spriting in the school-of-hard-knocks sort of way that I learned, is that the less colors one uses, the better it looks in the end typically.

Generic:
Use the skin color for anything white/gold/tan-ish, the clothes typically little more than three variations of colors (with leather counting as a color if present), making sure the borders are of the same color (dark purple and light purple borders together look odd, for example). A good rule of thumb is this: if you only use a color in a single (small) place (say the leather of a belt), question if you should put it other places (would it fit on the gloves or collar, maybe the cloak), or see if you can substitute it with a color you're already using (maybe the darker skin tones would work better than the brown). These are just some examples of things I do, and there's always times when its best one should deviate.

Spoiler: For specifics (Left to Right): (click to show/hide)

1]: Solidifying the colors would help a lot with the mug, as well as extending the hat a touch. Maybe have it connect with the scarf, and the scarf with the shirt to make it look like a hooded tunic, or perhaps just the scarf to give it the appearance of a cloak.

2]: The colors are very garish, but otherwise I don't see much issue. Maybe have the collar white be the same color as the hair, or perhaps the green, as it stands out a touch due to its different color. Maybe darken the inner purple, or lighten the edge so it doesn't make the 'edge color' so visible. You want it to contain, but not distract.

3]: The only issue I see with this one is some with the scarf and the cloak, as I see some grey in between them, and some grey on the top of the scarf. The hair is a touch oddly colored with the bright purple in there. Maybe have it fade into the hair a bit more by darkening the blue or lightening the purple?

4]: Only issue I see with this is that the hair is cut off a few places with a few pieces that should be similarly cut, and some strey greens in the armor and feather.

5]: Looks good to me, I see no issue. Purple is used on a large object, silvers used in several places, outlines look to match, and no stray bits.

[Swordstar]

The problem with 5 for me is that the colors he's using for shading of the shirt and trim don't have *enough* contrast. So it ends up looking fairly 1-D. If you're just starting out with sprites and such, I would recommend using the color pallets of already existing sprites in the FE games. Because shading is tricky and that's an easy way to make sure your colors within one set of clothing doesn't contrast too much or too little.
