Maybe it's just me, but I don't really think I'm that good at shading. I guess that's a matter of opinion. I started using some photoshop rip-off years ago. Unfortunately, the picture on the monitor sucked, so a lot of my early stuff had wildly varying shades. Now I use Paint.Net. It's not that difficult to pick up and it has layering, which is handy when I want to plop new heads or attires on people. I got into this...probably around the time I got into Fire Emblem.
I don't think it was that hard, most of my stuff uses existing rips of FE mugs as bases. Sometimes it's just a matter of manipulating them. Shad, who is one of my older characters uses the same face as Wil. His father, Daren, uses Wil's face with Saul's eyes. Maddox uses Older Eliwood(FE7)'s face and hair, and when I made it messy I just used younger Eliwoods hair. The one problem I had with the Hyperion family in general was finding a shade of purple that wasn't darker than my already darkened outline.
Yes and no. I did FE battle sprites years ago, but there was only so many variations of sandy hair and long coat I can do, ya know. I could try to update some of them and post them, but I'd need to redo the ones for Shad and Lennox since they don't have any in their current forms.
And thanks. Here's a really quick mug I just worked up because I realized something.
I just realized Wolfram seems to be going down a dark path, somewhat unwittingly. Sure, he hasn't been in an rp yet, but in his background for Insurrection, he traveled to Ilia in search of Niime's tomes and resources. Then I thought about it and it looks like Wolfram unwittingly learned how to summon a deceased persons quintessence to talk with them. Give it some time and we'll have Wolfram discovering how to create morphs and eventually it'll pervert him just like it did Nergal. So here we have Dark Druid Wolfram, preparing to send his wrath against the Church of the Preservation of Sanctity.
