It’s a lance, actually, and I had no idea how to shade it >_>
And yeah, the slight pillow is intentional, that’s part of the style.
Ah. I’ve only played FF7 once, and only for about a half hour. But it’s definetly very impressive for PS1. I hear it has about 10 game disks.
About shading the lance, couldn’t you make the brightest shade in the middle of the natral grey, and the darkest shade on the bottom?
It only has three >_>
And that’s basically what I did…
the two blue ones seem very similar, maybe make them slightly different shades?
also, the swords look like they are different colors, are they?
Redid the palettes majorly, added a more accurate stance.
Reno! 
cough
<_<
And: Reno looks a tad cartoony, especially the eyes. Reminds me of Naruto… And… that bandanna sticks out of his head at a right angle xD
Sexy clothing, though.
(way to just copy the hand >_>)
Uh, bandana? >_> He doesn’t wear a bandana… do you mean his ponytail? Or his goggles?
Also, MM7 style IS cartoony.
Edit:
a) Rude is NOT cartoony, and is very sexy.
b) Oh… those’re goggles? <<;;
c) FF7*
Rude is indeed cartoony… >_>
Yes, they’re goggles.
And no, MM7. They’re FF7 characters sprited in MM7 style. FF7 is more anime than cartoony in itself.
OOOoh.
That whole thought line was based on you typoing MM7.
So uh… forget I said anything >>;
They’re just sexy, then =3
Wow. Daz bustin out with all the FF7 stuff. I dont think FF7 2d would be a bad idea…cept it’d take forever. Anyhow, the bald guy looks pretty good, though I dont think the style does him justice.
BTW
What’s with all the dead image links on the forums???
Unshaded wip still… first attempt at a scratch portrait
It’s sexy, as usual, but the hair on top of his head looks ridiculous… Maybe you can fix that during shading, but if I were you, I’d make less strands of hair up there. The only other thing is probably his lower jaw. It’s way too long. People don’t have really long straight jaws like that. Though, in this case, you can definitely fix that during shading, considering that’s what the original pic did.
Well, there’s definetly something wrong with the hair, but that’s not what bothers me. The nose is a little too low, and the head shape makes him look less mature. Or it could be the shoulders. Course, I suck at portraits. I used to draw anime, but even then, I wasnt near as good as my brother, who has mad skills at drawing anything.
Anyhow, that’s what I think looks weird.
yes, like what red said, the shoulders need to be more square.
I love how Bartz looks in his art, so I thought I’d sprite it. First I tried editing his ofifcial FF5 sprites into it, but that didn’t go so well. So I went back to FE style since I suck at FF style and didn’t feel like doing Bartz in MM7 style. >_>
Not farmiliar with the character, or style. Sorry, not much I can say.
Matching Exdeath, this time scratch. :3 Big one’s the ref, don’t mind it.
wow, great job
