Mercenaries Job Sprite Ideas (update: soon)(Image Heavy)

For a reference pic I would go off of Final Fantasy Gaiden's character artwork, plus then you could use the japanese portraits which are wicked. Though it would be a bit of a waste to not use that good male portrait that was already made.

Well technically the sprite doesn't need to be remade: it fits the general idea of what LD wanted (a sprite that looks like Minwu). But yeah, I'd use the following images as references:

It looks like Miroshi (the original sprite creator) based it off these, he just muddled the details a bit...Look Jimmy, if you're busy then leave this project for another time. It's a decent sprite, and I guess most people are satisfied with it...

Hmm....FF Gaiden..I'll take a look. I'll just get the base for now. Haha. Alright mav. ^^
Thanks.

Here are some reference pics. I'm not sure about the little hat on top of the turban, but everything else looks good. Sorry for the large wallpaper but it was the best pic I could find in limited time.

Damn, I had a female Reliquian portrait saved some where, but I can't seem to find it; this was as good a time as ever to post it...

EDIT: I found it. It's a combination of two or three Japanese portraits and one of the portraits MiKe was working on for this sprite.

@Sir Cheetah ~ Those are very good references. Thanks. I'll see what I can do about it.

The female portrait is nice.

I'm not good at portraits at all, but IMO her right ponytail (our right) is looking strange, and not enough shaded skin around that ponytail.

Is that a pony tail, or one of those things that comes down over the front of the ear?

That's actually the hair the drop down on the front; its from Female Timemage. It actually looks right as it is but yes, need some skin tone under the hair that covers her ear.

I'm tempted to just create new bangs for her--these are straight from the female Time Mage, just like the sprite and MiKe's original portrait.

Alright, a rough test for Male Reliquian.

I followed FF Gaiden Artwork. I will work on another different design.

Its good apart from the fact that the dark pixels in the middle of the turben make it look like a brain...

Cheetah

Yeah the turban needs a little help, could you create a few more versions? Try variations in how dark you are shading in different areas and making it more simplistic.

The arms look a bit over textured somehow.

The body needs a bit of work, but I'm not sure what. This is definitely in the right direction though. My suggestion would be to focus on the body and then figure out what to do about the turban (because that will be the hardest and might need more reworking to actually look good as an FFT sprite).
Current Projects:

Neat, though it looks a little strange--the body seems unusually narrow. That sprite looks like it may take a while to complete though--with the turban and seemingly custom body parts.

Wow just amazing! I'm still new and experiencing a lot of this for the first time. I haven't lurked enough yet to know what's really going on. That Gambler both male and Female look awesome!!!!

That is rather interesting. I like that. Can you think of any job you'd like it to go to?

It was supposed to be Shooter, but I doubt there are any jobs related to guns in Merc., are there?
  • Modding version: Other/Unknown

LastingDawn

No there is not, (the only one with a gun is Mustadio) Though if you complete the sprite, it could work as an alternative to the Traveler concept.
