Kaze from FFU Progress

[jimmyjw88]

Hi ^^
I've decided to pick up this sprite request (Kaze, FFU)

Kaze (from FFU)

spoiler

EDIT: Sunglasses

I try edit sunglasses but it looks ugly and weird =.=
I can't seem to make it look right =.=
Need some help on the glasses.
And I changed his hair color. What do you think of this color?
Oh, and that blue thingy on his face is the mark on his nose.

EDIT: Head and the hair clip/band/something


Is the head still too front?
Honestly, the only that looks kinda nice for the glasses is the side-view
Don't you think? ^^


EDIT:

spoiler

This is a work done by KazeKasano.
I will give credits to KazeKasano if I finish this sprite. ^^

[Kaijyuu]

I like the general idea. The hair definitely needs work; the front-side view head seems a bit misshapen, and the part switches places between perspectives.

[KazeKasano]

When I stole Agrias' hair for that, I was totally inebriated, and half-way incapacitated.
Please, do something nice with it!

It is my shame.

Edit: Might need to use a darker color for the hair.
Also possibly sunglasses.

[jimmyjw88]

Oh...so is this your work, KazeKasano?
I'm sorry. I didn't meant to take other people's work and make it my own.
You can take it back and I will delete this topic.
Sorry. I didn't mean to steal your work. It's just that it stop progressing, so I just pick it up.
My apology.

[KazeKasano]

No, please take it. I insist.
I actually don't have the time to do it, since I've been working on starting a sprite comic and I have finals coming up next week.

I have no plans to pick it back up, so no apology required.
Besides, I'd like to see where it goes. ^_^

[jimmyjw88]

I see. Well, I continue to progress it then ^^
Thanks, Kaze.

I'll try my best to work this sprite out.

[KazeKasano]

It is I who should be thanking you, my friend.

Edit: Oh damn. That looks MUCH better than before. Very nice work.
For the sunglasses, you might want to take a look at the ones in my very pointless set of images in the spam forum under the thread "Take A Look At Me".

[Cheetah]

Very cool that you are picking up a request Jimmy. Looks like a good start, those glasses are going to be tough. I would recommend focusing on other parts of the sprite so you continue to make progress and learn and then take another shot at the glasses later since they will be really easy to add to the sprite at any time.

[Zozma]

the head on the diagonal is not right, it should be a bit bigger towards the back

[jimmyjw88]

Thanks for the support guys.
And, Zozma...Yea. The head for front-side view is abit too front. Thanks
I didn't really notice that as I was busying try to make the glasses look right.
I even use one of the sprite (Auron), made by the japanese for the reference of the glasses.

[jimmyjw88]

Sorry. Busy trying to make Llednar mug look right.

UPDATE*
Two more poses


What do you think?
The hair looks abit funny though
Any suggestions / criticism on the hair?

[Zozma]

looks good but not so consistant from the forward facing to the diagonal (in the front of the face)

and are u trying to do glasses? i think its best to make the eyes look normal for now, somehow the eyes look a mess, but its much better than before overall

[jimmyjw88]

I'm not doing the glasses for now, as Cheetah said, its better to focus other major parts and give another shot on the glasses when everything is done.
By the way, Zozma, are you talking about the front view?

[Zozma]

well front and diagonal

[jimmyjw88]

Errm...is it the face? The whole front view?

[Zozma]

use a default face because the altered eyes dont look right, theres not really enough detail to do anything else to the face except maybe make it look slightly angry

[jimmyjw88]

Hmm...Angry...I'll try and see.
Thanks Zozma.
And is the hair for side-rear view and rear view looks ok?

[Zozma]

yeah looks fine, like the haircolor

[jimmyjw88]

Took me awhile to match it with Kaze's hair from the pictures ^^
K. Then I'll try fix the face for front view.

[KazeKasano]

His hair really is an odd shade of brown, isn't it?

Great progress so far.
Is the Magun going to be able to be included? It seems rather integral to the character.

Which also makes me wonder... Is it possible to lock a unit's equipment so that he wouldn't have any other weapons besides that? I know that Cloud can only use his limits if he has the Materia Blade.
