I'll list the magic classes later, keeping most of the classes a surprise until I make them.

Tips...? Not really...? I made some battle sprite full custom tutorials but they only really apply to Fire Emblem, and you pretty much have to know how to splice/edit FE stuff before using it.

Anyway

Drifter stickman. Tier 0s are lulzy.

Ranger-Still.gif

Ranger, Axe/Bow Mount promotion. Different sprite than the FE8 Ranger because he uses Axes instead of Swords.
I kinda wanted a lordless knight or vigilante vibe from him, since he's from Nomads and Cavaliers.
The horse is sub-custom. I redraw it completely but referenced other FE horses the whole way, so it's hardly different.

Drifter-Idle.gif
Drifter-Focus.gif
Drifter map sprite.
 
I love the axe ranger way more, but he doesn't exactly look like a bow user to much anymore compared to the nomad/ranger, more like just a northern snowland or roughlands calvary.
 
I assume it's frame by frame, the stick man would help but I don't think theres actually a program that'll make it easier...

no, theres not haha, I have no experience with animating things jeeze I suck x.x
 
Yeah there's not really a make spriting easy trick.

Shade.gif

Shade, E rank Dark magic. The Shaman isn't animated because too lazy, it's already a full custom spell.

Is that animation even PA? Also are you going to animate his cape?
 
...Pixel art... maybe? I drew it pixel by pixel, it's just blending modes/flickering to make it look like that. Does that not count?
And if not where would it go anyway? I guess Visual Art Analysis... I'd rather not make a topic for one thing when it seems like it fits here anyway.

The Shaman isn't animated cause he's just showing spacing/placement, so it's easier to see how it works ingame. I mean it would be several minutes of messing around to get all the Shaman sprites in the animation and correct when the important thing to see is the spell. And that'd make the whole thing like 4 times as long when only a quarter would be what I actually made, lol

No, most of your stuff looks like PA anyway so it doesn't belong in VA. I was just curious, cause your animations don't look like PA. Anyway, good job, keep up the nice work.
 
Have to repost because of the forum hosting trouble. '-'

FE-Renji-Bankai.gif


Started this about 3 years ago right after I finished Byakuya/Ichigo, and stopped working on it for two and a half until recently. 2.38 MB, 604 frames, 22.7 seconds. Fun stuff.

FE-Ilfort-Still.gif

Oh here's Ilfort alone since he basically gets fried too fast to see him well. That's my first custom... monster-ish sprite? Yeah.

YouTube version with sound and junk. Better to do it early this time instead of waiting for everyone else to upload it first :I
 
Only one response makes Yeti sad D:

Finished the still sprites for the tier 0s. Just threw them in one image to save time, though only like 4 are new.
tier0s.gif

Drifter, Apprentice, Recruit, Skywatcher, Ruffian, Journeyman, Scout, Page, Ascetic, Pupil, Medic
They're not finalized, but little more will be changed other than quick fixes.

And Apprentice map sprite I guess

I really like your work, you really are a spriting genius and you do justice to the Fire Emblem franchise.

I'm following the tutorial you posted and well lets just say it sucks right now I'm going to work on it some more before i show you for C&C I really liked your second movie it was pretty epic. Keep up the awesome amazing work Yeti.
 
The tutorial unfortunately is only for people that already know a bit about FE style. I should learn to write more newb friendly, or make a splicing one or something. Whatevs.

t0-fix2.gif

Edited some of the t0s at suggestions.

Uther-Focus2.gif

Edited Uther's focus sprite, the arc he swung his sword in was too big before.

Phalanx-Idle.gif
Phalanx-Focus.gif

Phalanx
 
If you want to help newbs, you should make some templates with different poses and classes, ones that have no clothes or items of any kind, maybe even with no hair.

Then make a tut about making the clothes and weapons for the templates.

I tried your tut and the sprite turned out really weird.

Look:

It's messed up.

Na I wasn't saying your tutorial sucked that my sprite did. I am familiar with Fire Emblem as I play the GBA games often, I'm just not that great at spriting and even if it was the most newb friendly tutorial ever my sprite wouldn't come out too great.
