At first I thought I'd introduce the concept of the topic... but then I figured "why, when I can just get to the work?"

Pixel Art/Sprites
Most of these will be in the GBA Fire Emblem style

Fire Emblem series
Portraits ordered in chronological appearance... to the best of my memory.
[spoiler]
Gaiden (warning: outdated)


Genealogy/FE4Advance

Only the ones I did myself/most of the work on.  Any portrait worked on by more than two people will very likely turn into a fustercluck.
Had some help from Asvel on Noish's hair.
Briggid is old an outdated compared to my older work.  May redo.

Path of Radiance


Radiant Dawn


Shadow Dragon


Other old/outdated portraits
[spoiler][/spoiler]

From other games/sources
[spoiler]The Legend of Zelda

HEY!

LISTEN!

Skies of Arcadia


Baten Kaitos

Lyude is waaaaay outdated now.  Probably gonna redo that one if I ever feel like doing something about it.


Pokemon


Soul Calibur


Misc. Nintendo characters

Old Mii is oooooooold...

Misc. other characters

Some are recognizable, but I've got a few obscure ones here.

Sephiroth was a cleanup of one of flyingace24's portraits.  Don't expect much more squeenix from me than that.
Saki is in need of work, I'm aware.  The dude didn't have a lot of (good) references.
Jason's design is mostly how I'd imagine him looking today, since the last time he was in a game was in 2000.  Hair shading was referenced from one of Asvel's FE2Advance portraits.


DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
[/spoiler]
Misc. projects
[spoiler]FE7x

From left to right, Dayan, Eagler, and (a really really halfassed) Elbert.  I've cleaned up a few others for this, but I'll only post the stuff I worked on in full for this.[/spoiler]

Battle stills
I've got waaaaay to many old stills lying around, so I'll just pick and choose the ones I like the most.
[spoiler]


Ah, the times when simple edits for resemblance instantly made you a "master" spriter...



Halberdier 1.0


Halberdier 2.0.  Sheet is currently a permanent work-in-progress.
[/spoiler]

Digital Art
Most everything here is going to be significantly smaller than the actual dimensions of the composition.

Typography
[spoiler]
[/spoiler]

Collage
[spoiler]Actual .png images are 20"x20" in size




[/spoiler]

Traditional Art
[spoiler]
Drawn with vine charcoal


A mixed media piece.  I used India ink, acrylic, pastel, and magazine clippings for my materials.  My tools for this one were a brush, an inkwell pen, and a sponge.


Experimenting with Sun ink using different strokes and tools.



A couple pieces from a 3D animation class I had a few semesters ago.



And a couple pieces from my most recent 3D class.  Had to make a character reference for modeling.  And no, I'm not good with proportions.  Yes, I understand the basic human proportions, but applying them is tricky.  Yes, I plan on doing something about that.
[/spoiler]

Animation
[spoiler]Bullseye
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjK6lXLntBo[/youtube]
Done for my first semester of 3D.  The better of my two 3D finals.

Out of Place
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJkphik0IQY[/youtube]
Done for the second semester, where we actually focused on making a character.  Yes, I'm aware that the voice may be a bit hard to hear; I was pressed for time and I'm not an audio technician.

TAT TV Bumper
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIV3zNcrES4[/youtube]
This was for a motion graphics class; I had to make a channel bumper for the campus film dept's TV channel.  I like how it turned out.[/spoiler]

And that's what I've got onhand.  I usually update my blog with most of my new work (save for sprites and fanart; that goes in the Photobucket), and the accompanying Youtube channel, which I think you can find easily enough.

I do like the FE sprites stuffs.

The 3d one is also lovely. The bull's eye one is cute.

The Rabbid makes me laugh every time I see it. It's so... perfect...

Tell me, where does the plunger fit into the Weapon Triangle?

Danke.  I'll try to post a little more often this semester too; I'm taking life drawing and digital photography courses, so that'll hopefully give me some more material to show off.

Oh, but you know what they say; "Never say never"! >U<

Regardless, I have to say that all that Fire Emblem-styled work of yours is gorgeous. *o*

Alright, so recently I was inspired by Mage Knight 404's custom Knight animation to get back into battle spriting, kinda sorta.  At the very least, I picked up an old project that I haven't done in a while.

Those of you who've played the GBA Fire Emblems will probably agree with me on this; the berserkers aren't as smoothly animated as the other classes, with the exception of Hawkeye from FE7.  So I gave Hawkeye's sprite the standard berserker look.


Full sheet is here.

Basic attack animation goes something like this, though I can't seem to make it match in-game speed.

Once I did that, I got bored and decided to play around with Adobe Fireworks.

And boy did I play around.


For any FE hackers here too, I've got a pal who's willing to make animation data out of this (if I keep nagging him).

I never realized how badass axes were until I played FE7.

I don't understand FE, but this does look pretty neatly

That's some brilliant animations, and that Tekkaman Blade... Really, really brilliant.
