Title: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: DarkShade on December 20, 2011, 08:51:42 pm
Hey guys, I have been working on a sprite and would like to show you guys. It's just Tidus and Dart mixed and I don't know what the colors will be.

Thanks for your comment Elric and since i had nothing to do. I work on my Sprite and its almost done except profile picture andthat will be done tomorrow or something but here is what I did from beginning to end. (from where I left off)

Profile picture...you mean the sprite's portrait, right?
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: 3lric on January 06, 2012, 01:57:56 am
yes, that's what he's referring to lol
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: DarkShade on January 06, 2012, 11:00:40 am
Yes that's what I meant. I'm been playing FFIX again and their portrait is referred to as a Profile Picture in walkthroughs which I'm use to saying since i was making one. But yes The portrait will be done today or sometime very soon. Also I'm going to be doing another Sprite too. it will be Blank form FFIX.

Post by: Kagebunji on January 06, 2012, 11:11:41 am
Changing Fayt's hair color would be a good move here, since it would make him look different from Dart more. And the whites could use some more shading, since it is pretty flat right now(only two colors).

A Blank sprite would be awesome!

Actually after you said that i do want to change the hair color now so ill post a new one soon with brown and maybe something else but i dont know, I might try black. and which white are you talking about he hoodie or his armor cause his armor has three different colors right now.

EDIT: Well I got done editing colors of some stuff and ended up with two types of sprites. I decided to go with brown, Hope to hear your opinion on this.

It's not that bad. I always love seeing anything other than blonde because it's not easy with FFT sprites, they are nearly all blasted blonde.

Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: DarkShade on January 07, 2012, 05:13:41 am
Thanks it just what i do since I love doing tons of different types of art. I consider myself the jack of trades in art.

Edit: Well i got done with the portrait but I'm going to wait till i can make the spr working right before i show you the portrait.

Edit Again: Well my sprite works and its upload in the sprites section here is my portrait and spr files
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: jimmyjw88 on January 09, 2012, 07:50:03 pm
Unfortunately there's lack of depths in the palettes choice. There's too much black all over the sprite, especially the body/chest part, just black. The portrait obviously needs rework, the palettes and touch ups on the shadings.
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: DarkShade on January 09, 2012, 10:54:56 pm
Well i obviously don't know what it should be and for my upcoming mod thats the color he wears plus it helps out the story slightly due to some things i wish not to spoil. but yeah if you can find a good color i my change it and i might add editing but i feel horrible crappy and grief.
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: Lijj on January 12, 2012, 04:52:40 pm
The jagged lines on the shirt hurt. Also too much black all over, like Jimmy said.
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: DarkShade on January 13, 2012, 12:30:05 am
I havnt gotten to the portrait but i dont understand when you say "The jagged lines on the shirt hurt."
can you show me a picture with indicators showing what you mean also My friend found this and i work on it a little and its almost finish but the portrait isnt working. I got the Portrait and the sprite but when i put it in the iso the sprites portrait colors are off.
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: Lijj on January 13, 2012, 02:40:49 am
 Jagged lines are easy to come by when working with pixels. Depending on the amount of colors etc. some shapes are limited.
I changed the palette so you have another shade of gray between the white of the collar and darkness of the shadow.

Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: DarkShade on January 13, 2012, 07:44:23 am
Thanks Lijj i was actually gonna fix it today but since you did that.

Edit: I revamped the portrait here it is. I kept the original palate. i wanted to keep the hair color i had originally and and the extra color wont be able to go in

Edit Again: I Started making another character for my new mod and here he is. Also i need your help i got 8 palates and i need to know which is better.

Shiven is a monster Sprite due to she only has limited frames. but yes im trying to get this fix for my mod but i dont know why it keeps changing in the game.
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: Durbs on January 14, 2012, 10:38:15 am
I get what you're going for with the mystery man, but... why doesn't he have any face? With the angle you use, the hood doesn't cover it up, and his face should be showing.

Does anyone have the link to the 'hooded' Ramza? I can't find it to use as an example.

EDIT: Here it is...

Haha, he certainly is mysterious. I like the faceless look, but I'm weird like that XD
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: DarkShade on January 14, 2012, 01:07:10 pm
so guys what should his color be?

He can be White, Black, Red, DarkBlue, Green, Purple, Brown, and Diamond like Minecraft
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: Durbs on January 14, 2012, 01:07:32 pm
I think you should make the hood's shading darker, but that's just me.

I've never played Minecraft x_x so i have no idea about the reference. but as personal prefrence i like Black, Red, Dark Blue and White
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: DarkShade on January 15, 2012, 09:35:37 am
This is what i meant about the diamond reference. the mincraft picture the armor is in a different shade of color but there both bright.
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: Twinees on January 15, 2012, 10:51:02 am
The hood needs to cover his face more, it still seems like he is blanked faced. Have a look at the purple mystery sprite.
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: DarkShade on January 15, 2012, 11:35:58 am
the sprite is still in progress but i been messing with the portrait trying to make it look like the hood is covering face so i barely touch the sprite itself

oh i thought cyan was somewhat darker a little bit
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: Jon on January 15, 2012, 03:40:47 pm
Umm time for some constructive crits. Firstly, I think the recolored faceless Rofel as it is right now is totally horrible. The armor colors are okay but could either be desaturated a bit or just use existing colors from another sprite from the actual game. Honestly the portrait right now is the only thing going for it, but also that needs some major work. Like Kage said, look at the Purple Mystery sprite and portrait. Back to the sprite, the whole faceless thing isn't working. You either need to make the hood much more extended kinda like the Dark Emperor from Star Wars or actually give him a face. You can't just have some dark skin colors underneath the rim of the hood and actually think thats good enough. Sorry if I sound harsh, but someone has got to tell you. As for the other 2 sprites, the first one based heavily on Dart is pretty cool, keep it up like this! The Shivan sprite looks like a rip from FFT VW which is fine but you might want to desaturate these colors, they look way too bright. If you leave them like that you might actually blind your players in your patch or whatever. Also, the Shivan portrait is total crap. It doesn't even look remotely like the FFT style, make a new one. Hope this helps!
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: DarkShade on January 15, 2012, 03:59:11 pm
Im still working on Mystery Man but Shiven i been trying to find the right colors for it but every time i try it just dust look right. Mystery Man Portrait will be updated to day and i should start working on the sprites.

Edit: Mystery Man Portrait is updated here it is.
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: Jon on January 15, 2012, 04:32:58 pm
Maybe this is too dark, but at least it isn't blinding anyone.

It is a little bit you almost got it though. Also Here i a Revamped look of my Mystery Man i used Dark Blue for his armor.
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: GeneralStrife on January 15, 2012, 08:43:18 pm
Hmm, much better on the colors. The hood and the port are starting to come together too. Jons back! lol
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: 3lric on January 15, 2012, 08:46:42 pm
I'm liking that mystery man. I may have to use that for something lol
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: Jon on January 16, 2012, 05:08:01 pm
Yes, you did a much better job on the sprite's hood. Now it matches the portrait. I like it now, lol good job. The blue armor almost looks...crystally...
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: DarkShade on January 16, 2012, 05:23:35 pm
Thanks Jon and thank you all that help me with these sprites. I'm possibly going to make another sprite soon and Make a Revealed Version of Mystery Man, he wont be a mystery soon.

Edit: Well here is a Revamped version of Mystery Man
Title: Re: DarkShade's Sprites
Post by: DarkShade on January 18, 2012, 01:30:18 pm
Well im going to explain what ill be doing now. Ill be working a some more characters in my mod, Ill be working on a request after that and then ill be free for a while.

I have done a New Character which is Named Angella or Young Meliadoul. the reason for this is to link my mod with ivalice more since its about 150 years after Ramza defeated Ajora.  Angella looks similar to Meliadoul cause she is a descendant to Meliadoul. hope you can understand.

Edit here is a better file of Angella.
Title: Chocobo Knight
Post by: DarkShade on February 21, 2012, 07:55:56 pm
Well guys I decided to work on a Chocobo Knight. This is as far as I got to. I'm limited at the library so. How is it? Also I know the head is to big will continue on this tomorrow.
Title: Re: Chocobo Knight
Post by: GeneralStrife on February 21, 2012, 08:25:00 pm

Title: Re: Chocobo Knight

Here is what I did since I can't do much without Graphic Gale. Front view still need some more work.

Post by: Eternal on February 21, 2012, 10:31:56 pm

Post by: Lijj on February 27, 2012, 07:33:40 pm
Keep going on this unless you have a new idea for a sprite in mind. This is a more ideal choco-hume while the other is an ideal choco-knight.

Heh, this got me thinking. This is like the bandits who wear animal furs for clothing and armor.

As for this sprite, it feels sonic-esque.

Thanks guys. I edited it a little and now as you talk about it, yes she does but the shirt is just below what the picture frame is for the sprites. That's why it looks like that.

Digging your avvy's sprite, though I'm a sucker for hoods.

The head+colour swap for Reis is gorgeous. I think I'll eventually do a sprite concept with her shirt at least at some point.

@ Dome, Well that would be a good idea, make a sonic patch only with all the others. but I don't want to do that at all.

@ GeneralStrife, Thanks for the comment I'll be finish sometime tomorrow if not the weekend then.

@ Taichii I would actually like to help in that type of patch.

So After this sprite is done I'll be working on some more ideas then begin working on my mod.
