I'm going to be moving all my sprite work to the weekends since I don't have much time at all during the week. I'll work on it again this weekend.

The new Flan has potential, but I think it needs to be more blobby around the middle, if that makes any sense. =\

I see what you mean, it looks kinda flat, not rounded. I'll try to do something about it on wednesday, I have rehersal tomorrow and Halo 3: ODST comes out Tuesday XD

Flans are ooze or slime (...or FF canon might actually have them made of pudding.  I don't know.), so more of its weight should be gathered at its base.  Make it fatter at the base and just above the base and it should look great.

If you are going to make an attempt at a Flan sprite, I would recommend using the FFTA sprites as a kind of base.

The Flan looks great so far! But like someone mentioned before, they're globby and gunky, therefore their base should be bigger than their upper.

Another thing, does it have an arm?

Lol, Update. I took the Flan from FFTA, removed the edges, change the mouth to all one color, recolored the thing, changed some of the shading on the edges a little... and thats what I got. on the first page. under "Flan".

Nice. I should have done that myself ages ago.
My one suggestion now is see how it looks with a pale yellow palette.
Also, if you have any left over colors you should try to give it a caramel topping. ^_^

On a side note I wanted to present some options with pros and cons.

1) FF12RW Flan. It has the smallest number of colors which makes it very flexible for editing. It the smallest one which can be good or bad. There is a full sheet of it available.

2) FFTA1 Flan. Full sheet is available. Has slightly more detail than the RW flan on only 2 more colors. There doesn't seem to be a full sheet of it available, but it can be ripped from the game fairly easily.

3)This is the most detailed flan and the one that fits the original Tactics style the best. It uses 15 colors so there is at least one color to work with. The problem with this one is that there is no sheet and ripping it is a hassle unless you have computer good enough to run a DS emu.

I assume on the last one that you used the outline, which I didn't. I realized that I needed to use the outline as I'm trying to make the tonberry too, I saw that the outline would be nessecary to recolor.

ADDED: Tonberry/Turtle on the front page, Turtle hasn't been changed yet.

should I re-use the tonberry colors for the turtle's shell? Also, should I make the Tonberry lighter?

Very nice. I love the new Flan.

The Tonberry's shading is a little too dark methinks, and the turtle is looking great. But I think the Turtle looks a little cartoony for FFT. How about trying to use the colors from it's FF12 counterpart?

Gil Snapper:

I think those colors might suit it better towards FFT style. But that's just what I think.

One question, should I remove the sword from the turtle or keep it?

Wow, that worked even better than I expected it to. Great work. I definitely think in needs more details/texture and maybe a tongue to really fit the fft style though. Try finishing the Flan before moving on to the Tonberry.

I didn't draw those, they are official square sprites. Look at them close in your editor to see the differences. BTW, almost all the FFTA2 sprites are redrawn from the FFTA1 sprites. In most cases they are bigger and more detailed in FFTA2.

The FFTA2 version of the Adamantoise is way better and almost as big as a FFT dragon.
