Baka! Ahou! Complimenting me won't make me happy *does chopper dance* XD
heh heh actually I looked up pictures too just to see if I was making that up. It surprised me how it did seem to be bigger in the pictures, but I still wasn't sure it looked right ^^" Glad you didn't think I was nuts. You can give me a jewel that big any time
Hm, I would probably say a little slimmer. The wide, upturned points seem to be the more innocent younger look. I compared yours with a picture of adult Ike and it seems that the upward curve of the eye should be more gradual. Yours seems to have basically two lines like a 'T' for the top of the eye (Really wish could send you a pic ><) And the starting point at the inner eye isn't as wide as you have it.
I put in "ike from fire emblem eyes" in google and went to the images section. The second pic (for me) was of the adult Ike. I just made it big enough to see the lines and compared the two.
I hope that helps. If that wasn't really understandable let me know and I'll try again! >.<
when I play ssbb with my sis we seriously call him "martha", it's not to be mean, it's just so oddly fitting for some reason >u>
Okay so I immediately checked the pic after reading your comment and you can't be more right - the jewel sticks out in all the wrong ways, I seriously can't believe I didn't notice it 'til now >~<
But I'm really lucky to have you to fend of my partial blindness to my own pieces, this way I hopefully won't end up doing more gigantic jewels in the future. Hopefully.
Hm the eyes? you don't happen to have any suggestions on how I can improve in that area, should they be slimmer or more eyelashes or eyebrows covering them or, something like that? (^v^') *Yep, you're practically my art advisor now (>w<)*
That's what Marth gets for wearing a headband ;P And I thought your original title was hilarious XD
I think you did a pretty nice job on the clothing. The folds and shadowing are good, and from what I know of their clothing it's pretty accurate. And of course the swords are well done the pommel on Marth's sword is my favorite
The only things I would suggest changing is 1) the red jewel on Marth's cloak. It just seemed a little heavy and big for it's use. (Granted the jewel is big in all the pictures... maybe it's just a personal preference?) and 2) I think their eyes could use some work. They seem a little 'innocent' for the warriors. I mean, I know that all warriors have to start out somewhere, but I never got the sense of youngness from Ike while playing Fire Emblem (haven't played with Marth). Besides that I think it's a pretty good piece.
I often used to choose Marth as my character on Super Smash Bros! My sister would choose Roy and tell me that I could have Marth as he was too girly! XD
Looking forward to seeing any improvements you make ^^
