Swift's Sprites

[Swift_Assassin]

And I'm back again with Maria with the Archer Install.

[Swift_Assassin]

So, few more things here.

Illya variant of the above full body...


Maria with the Kuro variant of that design, Maria with Kuro's Seal of Shared Pain(she feels Illya's pain as a deterrent for her trying to kill and replace her shortly after she appears), and than her as Kuro.

That's all for now.

Shad's first outfit was the same way, as I had tossed out several attempts over the years of full body portraits of the Hyperions due to so much purple. Maria took three-to-five hours, due in part to the reference(Illya from F/SN) having a perfect default pose(and height). It's a bit easier with Maria due to still being a kid, that means her full portrait is a little under 3 inches, coming in at about 2.8 inches. It's one reason why Lennox is half finished, because he's over 4 inches, at 4.17 inches in height.

I've always wanted to do them due to seeing some people, mainly Merc, on old FEP due full body sprites years ago. I never had an attempt that satisfied me until I did the Fremy Speedraw one back on page 8. It kinda makes sense, in a way, as the original normal portrait of Fremy that I did on page 2 last year spurred on essentially the last ten pages of this thread.

You have such good patience: I get frustrated if my sprites don't resemble what I want after about half an hour, but I've never been good with anything artsy except for writing! 

Keep doing what you're doing, because you do such an awesome job =D

I work at a self scan station at a grocery store. I need to have patience when dealing with customers going through there.

So, this is more of an edit than anything. But like the bloodied Maria earlier, has an explanation that will show up. But first...

This is what Shad is currently wearing. Added the hole/dried blood from blocking a crossbow bolt with his arms, yet only one of the holes is visible.

Let's just say that I've been having some ideas about the upcoming rp, when Zanryu finally gets to it, and Shad's probably not going to like it.

[Swift_Assassin]

Yeah...just remembered that I didn't want to use the green, so I changed the color to the right one.

[Andy]

I'd really caution against having Shad try to block a crossbow bolt with his arms. Those things pierced chain mail and poorly made plate mail fairly easily in their heyday. Realistically speaking, if he takes one to his arm, it's probably going to cost him the use of it. For life.

I actually considered doing it to one of my characters, once. Decided against it, though.

[Swift_Assassin]

. . .Oh, he's not going to try to do that. Again. He blocked it with both arms, broke both arms in doing so. He was used to wearing an outfit with a chainmail interweave, but since he decided to try a different outfit, he didn't restrain his recklessness to make up for it. Cassandra put his arms into braces, which he got mended in Tania. Thankfully we have magic healing solutions in the rp.

I'm actually thinking of concussing Shad in the next rp as well. And breaking his left hand. And some other stuff. Like I said, not a good rp for him.

[Swift_Assassin]

So. Remember this?

Maria in her coat?
And this?

Older Maria. Well..

This is a full body of older Maria, with the outfit based on a picture I saw of an older Illya. It's a bit rough. Needs a bit of work, but I like it.

[Swift_Assassin]

So. Some updates.

Changed Shad's future coat full body a bit so it's less loose. Added some designs I forgot on the full body of Maria, as well as an alternate version carrying a lightning tome. She's so far the tallest of the four women I've done full body sprites of, with Alice, Illya, and Luna all near 5 feet tall. Maria's standing at 5'6" with her brother.

[Swift_Assassin]

So, as I was bored, I whipped this up.


You saw my 'Alter' version of Alice, well, here's something a bit similar with Shad. Except, his mask is that of a F/SN Assassin, much like the kind Maria has on her outfit in the Assassin Install mug a couple pages back. Also...


This actually originally started as just trying to do a just the armor part of the Archer outfit with baresleeves, but morphed into what you see now. I guess I was also a bit inspired by Kingdom Hearts due to watching most of Team Four Star playing it the past couple days.

Funnily enough, I tried desaturizing Shad's hair like I with Alice on hers, yet with the shade of his hair, it's hardly noticeable. That's it for now.

[Swift_Assassin]

Little bored...so I did something with Maria.


So that glowing design is based on Illya's Command Seal from F/SN. Due to the circumstances of her birth and in the Holy Grail War, her command seal is greater in mass than the other masters, encompassing most of her body. So here's a adaptation of it, utilizing the glow feature on paint.NET that I use. I might have done it a few more times than needed, but I can always go and lessen it.

[Swift_Assassin]

Okay, so I redid Kelsey. Again.

Instead of using the original mug, I actually used my original older Maria mug, since outside of color scheme, the original didn't share a lot with the kids. It fits with how the original set of was made. First came Shad, with Daren made looking very similar except for eyes. Original Maddox was made, then Lennox was made with the same basic thing except for eyes and slightly different Eliwood hair style, which resulted in a derpy looking Lennox. I've since changed them a bit, so Shad and Daren have different hairstyles and I redid Lennox with a new face. Anyway, now Maria looks like her mother Kelsey.

Her design here is a mix of different aspects of Tohsaka Rin from Fate/Stay Night. Her clothes is Tohsaka's casual clothes with her hair style based on her older self/when she has her hair down. Hair color is the same as Wolfram's and her eyes are the same as Shad's. Considering that she was only 29 when she gave birth to Maria/died, she wouldn't be as old looking as her previous mugs depicted her. It may be more appropriate if she was still alive, as she'd be 40 at the moment. 

So that's all for now.

[Swift_Assassin]

So. Some things.

Did some more work with Daren. Feet is still horrible. But that's not all.

Full body of Kelsey. Pose was based on a picture of an older Tohsaka Rin. She's slightly taller than Shad, Daren, and full grown Maria. Also...

Family photo.

That is all.

[Swift_Assassin]

So, trying an update of Lennox here. First is the old version topless. The second one is the update. Made the head a bit bigger, and used a reference of a wrestler who is Lennox' height for the body. It looks a bit odd, but I'm sorta planning on the full body as well for him, so it should look a bit better later. Suffice to say, you don't really see any of his right arm on that part because of his pecs.

I think that's all for now.

[Sui-kun]

That you're still working on spritework after all this time is admirable! Your full-bodies look good. I recognized your sprite work as being inspired by FATE series. And then I realized your avatar is Ilya wearing Archer's outfit. Now it all make sense >.> I love the FATE series too.

Also, I like the flower you made for Illya's mugshot. Very pretty.

[Swift_Assassin]

Yeah, I got into the fate series really hard this past year. Fate/Grand Order is semi-actively draining me of money, as it released a new servant that has taken/is sharing(not quite sure on that) Rin's body. And you can only summon her during the last week, which I did.


And this leads into my next update on Lennox. Just tossed the new head on the old body, then repeated for his cloaked version, then added a hooded version.

[Sui-kun]

Wait what? Isn't that a Japan-exclusive game? Or was it localized? *looks up*

[Swift_Assassin]

It's Japan only. But you can download the apk and still install it. You can use Qooapp(I think) to download it, or just find the apk. You'll have to redownload the apk to update, as it will probably tell you in the mobile store it's not available in your region. The bad part is that if you can't understand japanese, the story will be lost to you, but there are guides out there to familiarize yourself with the controls. Also, a lot of the events are locked out to you until you finish the first zone, which if I recall, is Fuyuki City.

[Sui-kun]

Oh ok. I see. That sounds fairly messy to install, not to mention I won't be able to understand it (which I really do want to). I'll hope for an international version. Otherwise, I'd have downloaded that game yesterday.
