Place your vote. This round has four, top two moving on.

Portrait:User Image
Battle sprite: User Image
(Animation)

Okay, due to Technical difficulties, My Sprite jumpes around, if i had mroe time, i'd fix that, but i have had no time to work on my sprite, and this is my first Completely mine Animation, if i wanted one that didn't jump, i might've gone to barsona.

Name: Ken
Age:15
Gender:Male
Class: Monk
Special things: He's mute, and has a passion for Sketching, he's considered a child prodigy, even though he can't speak. being mute, he was abandoned at the local monastary, where he grew to love the monks there, and become one himself, Surprisingly, he took an oath of silence...
Non-special things: He is deathly afraid of shaprthings, thus, his hair is unkempt and unruly, due to sharp things being explo-tered by magic.


User Image
Name: Stevon - Brilliant Omnipotence
Age: Unknown
Sex: Male
Class: Deity
Personality: Stevon is awesome, and he knows it. He's more than willing to flaunt the fact that he is a god, and nothing anybody says can change that.
Background: Stevon is a result of the fusing of Don, the God of Darkness, and Steve, the God of Awesomeness. Being deities of two seperate alignments (One good, one evil) has negated any particular alignment in Stevon. He does what he wants, when he wants. He wields a weapon of incredible power:
THE OMNICHUCKS!!

the face sprite is a Valter recolor. For the battle sprite I used...
The hair is custom
Lyon's cloak
Ephraim's upper torso and arms
Raven's legs
Dozla's Axe
Eliwood's blade
And the wings of a gargoyle.

Here's a battle sprite just 'cause I can cool :

Name: Mina
Age: 18
Sex: Female
Class: Mage --> Sage

Personality: Mina is laid back to a fault, and pessimistic. She may be involved in a largescale conflict... but deep down, she could care less about anyone but herself. She may open her heart to a certain individual, but it would not be easy...

Other Info: Mina's fighting style is very unique, combining her skills as a mage, and her agile movements. It appears almost as a graceful dance. Unlike most mages, she takes consierable advantage of her physical abilities, and trains both her mind and body frequently.

Background: Mina left her home in Crimea at a young age... never staying in one place for long. Her only defeat, and a large scar across her back, were dealt to her by a skilled swordmaster, whom she has sworn to defeat in battle. Since then, Mina has even more fiercely trained not only her mind, but her body as well.


User ImageUser Image

Name: Hajime
Age:18
Gender: Male
Class: Sword Adept, aka Tenken
Personality: Those who fought him, say he has no emotion, and kills without feeling. Those who know him personally, say that he is an easy going boy, calm in the face of danger, and is quick to laugh.

Background: No one really knows his past. When he talks about his past, he mentions a weird land, a cruel childhood, a great mentor, and a great duel against probably his toughest opponent. Because of his defeat, and the mercy of the opponent, he lived to see another day. While on his journey alone, he tries to figure out what is the truth and the meaning of life. In this new world, he calls himself Hajime, but only a few know him by his real name.

inspiration: well, I like Soujiro in Rurouni Kenshi. And I thought for awhile that I want to make him as an FE sprite. Hopefully, before this ends, I can actually do an animation...

Point Breakdown!!:

I'm not voting for me, and i'm not breaking down my own points, that would be really stupid.


Stevon


Portrait: 14(You'd get more, but it's valter,-4 and i can really see the lines in the robe and armor.-2)
Battle Sprite: 3(+1 for big image)(I can't say anything wrong about it except... I don't like your deity... I cant see his arms through the wings, and i thought the sword was a part of the wings, Oh hey, i see an Axe, whoa, i thought that was some sort of robe...)
Profile: 1.8 (I hate your character, i also hated how you contrasted awesomeness and darkness... good and evil... no, i got a little kick out of the 'OMNICHUCKS!' but thatg was it, after reading the profile, id' beat any followers of this god... Oh, and Don+steve=Stevon... scream xp )


Sorry for the vioelentness... I got out of control...


Mina

Portrait:16(To me, this face looks incredibly well done, but, it's plain...-ish)
Sprite:4(+2) I'd give you a 5... but, there was this itty bitty second where your sprite sorta... falters...
Profile: 4 Your profiles nice, but i felt it needed... an itty bitty something.


hajime

SOUJIRO!!

er... well, thats over...
Okay, this is how it is,
Portrai:16(I practically see nothing wrong with it, but It needs to have the eyes of a samurai, if you've read 'lone wolf and cub' you'd know what i mean. He's too... happy...)
Battle Sprite: 4 (>.< I would have given it a five, but theres also something missing here... Perhaps an animation...?)
Profile: 4
(I would have given you a five, (Again) But i can't help but feel that this sprite, though cool as it is, might not belong here... it's out of place...?)


Go Barsona!!

I have to agree with Vlad on several points with stevon, The only thing I don't like about mina is her face characteristics look to small for her face, like a babys face was put on an adults head >.<;, and Hajime looks alot like Soujiro, with that fake smile hiding his murderous intent he can be such a cold hearted little though the stance of the sprite looks a little off to me.
My vote goes to Souji-errr Hajime >.>;
Sorry vlad but there was something about your mug and sprite that just looked off to me I liked the profile though
PostPosted: Thu Jul 27, 2006 1:36 pm


without doing me:

Ken)
Mug: 14 -The eyes... It's too weird...
Battle Sprite: 4+1 (animated, but that is too jumpy... You could have at least PMed me to make it straight...)
Profile: 3

Stevon)
Mug: 13 -although the recolor is a really nice one, I cannot say, there is no originality... But it looks demonic...
Battle Sprite: 5 -oh man, that is really really nice. If this WAS a battle sprite contest, you would have it...
Profile: 3 -too much omnipotence=me unhappy....

Mina)
Mug: 16 -best out of the three, however, I would like to see a different eye color, in my opinion
Battle Sprite: 4+2 -animation is well done.
Profile: 4

Mina takes it....

now to comment:
Vlad: Oh comon... It's Soujiro... He's a kid (a bit more grown up from last time), and he smiles a lot... And yea, animation didn't come on time... crying -'twas too busy playing SRWJ.. Then when I actually found out about this contest, it was too late b/c I had more than a handful of physics crap... And yes, he is out of place. Well, atleast in Magval and the original land in FE 6+7

Shiko: what's off about it? could use another point of view.
And don't bad mouth my main man Soujiro. If he was emotionally stable, he would have killed Kenshin without a doubt

That sounds so wrong "If he was emotionally stable" he was just a little unsound in the upper stories

Well, uh, since I just voted last time without really giving a reason...

One thing that I really dislike about OCs for Fire Emblem is making them some race that does't exist in the FE world (i.e. elf, god). Unless the headshot and sprite are REALLY, REALLY well-done, I don't vote for non-human or non-dragon-like races.

So out goes Stevon. He DOES have a awesome battle sprite though.

Ken: The face is cute...but a little weird. The battle animation wouldn't be too bad if it didn't jump around so much. It's very good for a first time animation. However, it'll still dock you points.

I like his profile. He seems like a very realistic character. However, I thought you had to be able to chant to use magic. Maybe that's just me. sweatdrop

Mina: I like her mugshot the best by far. The colors complement each wonderfully, so it looks really, really, really nice. I can pretty much tell who it's made from, which is a big downset for me, but the coloring and overall mugshot are so pretty I don't even care. Much much much love. heart However, the colors on the battle sprite looks slightly...off.

A bit of a...cookie-cutter character with the swearing revenge thing and being pessismistic and cold though.

Hajime: OMG SOUJIRO! I LOVE SOUJIRO! I'd give you SO MANY points for making the sprites (especially the battle one) exactly like Soujiro...if this wasn't an OC contest. Taking Soujiro, changing his name, and putting him in the FE world does not mean he's an original character.

Since it'll hurt my brain to write out numerical point values: I think Mina is the best.

I personally really liked Stevon.

It made me smile. So I put in my vote.
And I always like the rather antagonistic types.

actually, rereading the rule page/first post of the contest, it says nothing regarding original character

XD

As well, the motif is Soujiro, but I didn't say it was him (nug, that means yes, it is him). If I put up Seijuro (aka my Kenshin), then I would blatantly say yes, it is Kenshin.

The similarity is still freakisly blatant. To me, at least.

Dove-Chan:
thanks ^^ I don't beleive that light magic needs words, as i may have said somewhere in the guild(Cant remember...) Light magic comes from Saint elimine, right? Then why should chanting be needed, albeit, it would be cool if they said something like 'please elimine..' That's why i made him mute. 3nodding

Barsona:
Well, it probably didn't help i waited to the night before the contest to animate him...

About his eyes: I like his eyes... ;.;


@Shiko:

Thanks! And i agree, my sprite could never compete with the Animation masters. 3nodding but, i had fun while doing this. lol

Ah? I thought that Saint Elimine was an extremely SKILLED light magic user, not the source of it. [/offtopic]
