Working on Custom Sprites for a project

[Zalge]

I could use some help on this, and... well, I just started doin' this today, and I was hoping someone could rate my work.



Don't be harsh pwease xP I'm only 14, and I just started today.
I'm a newb xD

Looks pretty good, needs more colors though, and save it using a different format cause it looks grainy...

[Archael]

very good for a first try

more colors so it stands out in FFT maps

[Zalge]

Thanks for the criticism, guys. I'll be working on it, and I'll be sure to try and add more color.

(In reality, its just a Ramza CH4 Edit. I recolored an Archer Armguard, Beowulf's Cape, and added the 20 yo man's face XD... also I recolored and moved some stuff around.)

[AuraDragon]

It is Ramza Ch4!?  Looks more like Beowulf...

[Zalge]

Where is your sprite sheet? I might use it, but... I dunno. I kinda wanted to do it on my own.

Also, I'm kinda stuck already. I can't really figure how to add more color. My only idea is adding an orange design to the armguard, but... that is it. Haha, I feel like even more of a noob, cause I need help with this; do you guys have any idea how I can add color other then adding a stupid design to the armguard? =P

[Zalge]

Ok, I've been working on it, and I have a more updated version.



I'm debating whether or not to spread the orange designs over the entire knight, changing the design color, or maybe trying something completely different.

[Archael]

looks alot better with the extra color

but I feel the designs could be better and perhaps a different color altogether

[Xifanie]

Was there a particular design for the golden stripes? They look quite randomly places to look "nice".

If so, you should aim to make the edges of the armor golden instead

Looks great though.

[Zalge]

@arch Well, what would you suggest? I'm tired and can't think right now xD Maybe change orange to dark green?

[AuraDragon]

I mean HK, since that guy is helmetless, but the DK has a helmet. >_< My bad.

[Zalge]

@ Aura; I don't know how to open that file on the custom sprite page. Do I just need to open it in MS Paint?(its the art editing program I use XD)

[Zalge]

Here is the Destiny Knight, Gold Trimmed Armor

I personally like it, but I'm not sure its right for what the sprite is gunna be. (hes for a project I'm working on, and hes gunna be the main protagonist)

[AuraDragon]

You use Shishi Sprite Editor which comes with FFT Patcher which is on the downloads page.

[Zalge]

I have it downloaded, but I'm not sure how to open the sprite sheet still xP

[Archael]

looks good


much better now

[KazeKasano]

Open the .SPR in ShiShi, and export it as a bmp.
It's under file.
Also, this looks great!

[Zalge]

@Kaze; well, I got a different version that let me open it right, so... now when I try to export it, it cuts off the bottom of the sprite sheet. Do I need to change the sprite type before I export it or something?(ARUTE.SHP, TYPE1.SHP, etc.)

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't see that it was just improperly aligned. I get it, it has it all, just not properly aligned... How do I export it properly aligned?
