So I whipped this up in around 10 minutes before I had to leave for work. Definetly needs some tweaks in the clothing and maybe the hair but I'm liking the direction it's going in. It's my first character portrait, so I'm hoping to improve on the next ones.

This looks great, what software you using?

[-] Luna@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Fire Emblem Character Creator. It allows you to splice in-game assets and change the colors to create your own portraits. You can change so much that they can look pretty original despite being a combination of existing characters' assets.

Oh nice, I thought it was something just for pixel art, looks great c: Is that just for the GBA games?

[-] Luna@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yep. Since it uses art designed for the GBA games, it works best with the GBA. It does output as a PNG though, so I'm assuming it could be added to other games, though the rest of that game's artstyle would have to match.

They're probably the same res as portraits used for like, Shadow Dragon on the DS right? Idk if that has a similar hacking scene but could be cute.

[-] Luna@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I have no idea what the resolution is on Shadow Dragon portraits, though I do think the game would be nice with some of the art/animations from the GBA.

I don't think Shadow Dragon has a big hacking scene. People are probably more likely to de-make Shadow Dragon for the GBA using Sacred Stones, if they haven't already.

I don't know how people do it, they're just casually like "oh, I re-made a 3DS game, but I decided to make it better" and proceed to drop one of the best games of all time on a niche FE forum.

Pretty fucking based spongebob-party

[-] magi@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

I see, is there any other programs that you'd use or would that just be your main pixel art creator? Sounds fun, I've been curious about doing pixel art but haven't dabbled yet.

[-] Luna@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm not sure. I'll certainly run into some issues when trying to make beast-people/laguz, so I may need to add stuff like tails and ears using something else. I have no idea what's out there though, and I've never been good at art, drawing, or any of that, so I'll probably just be using this software mostly, if I can figure out how to add blinking and mouth movement frames.

[-] magi@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Keep us posted on your progress, it'll be interesting and you may get some tips if anyone else is familiar c:

[-] Luna@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I will! I love getting to create something, and my special interest in FE proved to be great enough to push me. I'm now writing a full story, something I've experienced blocks with before, and thinking about designing a game other people can enjoy makes me happy.

but...Now I just have to hope I can finish it, and that I'm not in over my head.

[-] magi@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Having something as a special interest certainly helps push me through some stuff. It's trying to keep focused on it long enough to finish that can be the tricky part. I would say if it's a special interest that you rotate in and out it should make it easier to come back to if you do move on. But it can be frustrating when that happens. At least you'll have a body of work to come back to when you next feel that pull if it does happen.

[-] Luna@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah. I'm hoping it doesn't happen, or that I've done enough to where I can keep working on it, but my interests do rotate a lot. Luckily for me though, it seems like it's an interest I can come back to.

[-] magi@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Handy when that happens, I have a few that rotate every so often so I usually keep what I'm working on backed up so I can go back to it when it comes around again.
