Raaaa gibe eggs

I never would have figured out the Normandy egg without their descriptions.

Seems legit.

Because people go to a suggestions forum seeking suggestions about how to play. But if you're telling people they're doing it wrong unsolicted, that's rude.

You're allowed an opinion, I'm allowed to point out your hypocrisy.

Your post reeks of highschooler who wants to seem above the drama but is only instigating more drama.

The little elbow digit on the tsunamis is a bit weird too. Not bad weird, but just not usually something you see.

I usually tend to get the "Let's see you do better," argument when I reveal I can't sprite, or can't sprite dragons at least. And so people just ignore what I have to say because 1, it's really hard to explain things in words about a picture, and 2, they assume I have no idea what I'm talking about even though I do. So I'll just continue to not bother. I've also gotten the "They've spent time on this, respect that" which just makes no sense to me. Also idk, I kind of like the open discussion better, for one because I feel rude just pming anyone out of the blue, and for another, it fosters a sense of "let's not be so hostile to people who don't just love this or that" which is the usual attitude I run into. There's also the fact that people who are better at explaining, or drawing an explanation can come in and help.

But seriously, like I said, other than the derpy wing, this sprite is much better than her previous work, and that's good. improvement is great. Also I agree, the far wing looks different, and like the arms are different lengths.

Female tangars would beg to differ. And there's no way I would venture into the art forums. People there tend to tolerate anything that isn't spriter worship worse than even in here. Or that's been my experience in the past.

Why not all four apocalypse dragons? Pestilence, Famine, Death, and War. And Earthgirl, can you blame me for assuming? I was the only one who said anything. I'm pretty much the only one who ever say anything. But seriously, what did you mean about the spreading info around?

Where have I gone overboard with my point? All I did was express my opinion that I didn't care for her spriting, and explaining why. Just because it's not "ohemgeez, ur artz is sooo great" that means I've gone overboard? And what does "don't need to spread info on the spriter all over" even mean?

I honestly doubt it. If I hadn't said anything, I doubt anyone would have noticed it looks off, or if they did, they wouldn't say anything for fear of backlash and people reflexively defending the spriter for no reason beyond hive mind.

That's what I was seeing, but that curve there just seems too deep and too smooth to be jointed, so it looks wrong. And that wrinkle you see on the top edge just makes it look worse. tbh, the way you drew it looks much better.

I guess at least her back legs are better than the front ones. And I know they're supposed to be fingers, but that's not what it looks like.

Compared to the rest of the DC artist's JOTB's wings are lacking. They look weirdly textured and usually stiff. Her dragons are consistently my least favourites to the point that I don't even care to collect them. These look better, in those departments, and I'm glad for that, the anatomy just looks wrong. I honestly can see what's trying to happen there, but it falls short. Maybe it's just an optical illusion I can't flip around the right way. I thought I had it a minute ago, but it didn't really stick. Basically it looks like the first finger is actually just attached to the second finger and jutting forward, and not attached to the wrist and curved forward.

Just post it here for everyone who can't figure it out, because it's not just me.

That still doesn't explain what that second part going forward is. I mean, assuming it's the second finger, it looks like it's bent the way it would be if the body was sideways. I mean, I see what they're going for for sure now, but it still looks like there's no leading edge

You must be joking...

It does. I mean, I think I see what they were trying to do...it just...didn't work... Just from a spriting standpoint, I think they're much better than the artist's usual wings, the anatomy just needs some work... And that picture makes even less sense to me. Maybe if you put the colours over the sprite it might. But I still think it looks wrong. Or just delete it because you realised it doesn't make sense either way.

But it looks like it has two fingers going the complete opposite direction, while the other one looks normal... Like, I could see the first spike from the wrist on the near wing being the thumb, but then you have a sort of divot, and then another spike, before going back into the leading edge of the wing...

What's happening to the leading edge? Why are there fingers or spines or whatever facing forward, the opposite direction of the rest of the fingers??

What is going on with the male UV's wing?????

Bad luck.

ftw. Too bad I used up all my spitfires experimenting, except the wrong gendered one. I need more purples...blah.
