Dormin, I had actually wanted to make your character the female Blue Mage from the start, but went the archer route per your wishes.

Seriously, man, that sprite is fantastic. I know you don't want fantastic, but these videos are showing off the great accomplishments of the FFH community, so let's go for it!

Voldemort,
I adore Heliopolis. That, and Moongate, and Quasar Waves.. those ones with the sort of middle-eastern/far-eastern sitar action.. All great stuff! A lot of old-school Samael fans complain about their recent work, because it's too "technoish," but I think it's all great.

The only stuff of theirs I'm not too fond of are the first two albums. But everything from Ceremony of Opposites to Solar Soul is brilliant. ESPECIALLY ETERNAL!

You, sir, are definitely winning. You might also want to check out the band Rotting Christ. They have a similar sound to Samael. Not AS good, but damned decent.

Okay then lets just use the standard Blue Mage Portrait for Dormin/"Dormina". It is a pretty cool portrait so it should work out. I will post a rework of your portrait template soonish with those that I have completed so far.

I might have to check out some of those bands. I have a long night shift ahead of me and music is the only thing that keeps me awake. Well that and the fact that I brought my laptop tonight to work on sprite :O.

By the way, the reason I put 3 Therion links is because the first one.. is just too fucking cool! I didn't realize there were live videos out of their full symphony concert, so now I'm watching as many of them as I can find. The second link is a better example of what they sound like normally (non-live). Plus, that warcraft footage will really come in handy for my videos later..

And the third one, Kali Yuga, is a song that I may end up using for one of the most epic battles in the Chronicles, later down the road. I haven't decided yet, but it is one of my all-time favorite songs evar.

Definitely pretty good stuff. It is a little too...(wow it is the middle of the night and adjectives are getting hard) epic/instrumental/orchestra/opera-like for my tastes. But it is still good and I'm enjoying it so far.

PS: That Infected Mushrooms song is freaking sweet though, definitely my favorite song on this list thus far.

Ah, good. Landed the 'shroom on ya, I see. (That's why I threw out multiple genres, because I didn't know what you'd like).

Infected Mushroom - Becoming Insane (Full Version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqHTHUhSOls

Infected Mushroom - Muse Breaks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R5rDB6zuFQ

Becoming Insane is from their most recent album, "Vicious Delicious." The first 5 tracks of the album are fantastic, and then the second half is kinda weak.

Muse Breaks is from the album, "I'm the Supervisor." That whole god damned album is SICK! Before I decided to keep techno away from the Chronicles, I was thinking about using the track called "Frog Machine" from that album for.. well.. a frog.. machine.

Good that will work perfectly then. Thanks for taking one for the team Dormin haha.

Voldemort: I'm giving your portrait some thought now. My original though was to recolor Izlude's portrait, seeing as how that seems to match your hair style best. However I have decided that that portrait isn't the best looking. So I'm looking for your input on hair color and style.

I thought my guy had Kletian's portrait as a base, not Izludes??

Izlude's base hair is the closest one, and either face works. My hair color is light brown almost towards dirty blonde.

Chaumel's got Izlude's portrait.

He called it long before Voldemort asked for a cameo in the C.O.K.

I don't think Bastard cares either way, as long as it matches pretty well with the sprite. Plus if we used Izlude heavily as a base we would probably change the sprite to match, real easy.

So I guess my problem is that Izlude portrait is too good of a fit and i guess there isn't much for me to do haha. Well do you want facial hair or a cool scar or something. I would think the point would be more to match your tastes than make it look like you (in my opinion at least).

PS: Ahh just noticed that someone else has Izludes portrait, well it will work either way I'm sure.

Ahem.. hey.. Cheetah.

Chaumel has Izlude's portrait and sprite.

Not trying to be rude or anything, but he did request Izlude long before anyone else requested anything about anything. I mean, he's not around much these days, but he and I did a LOT of brainstorming together before I even announced the idea of this re-make project to the gamefaqs boards, let alone the auritech boards.

I know you're also planning on making his portrait unique too, but if Voldemort's takes up all of Izlude's features, then it leaves Chaumel with the features of someone else. Then I'd feel like I screwed him over if I didn't interject, you know?

Yeah I hadn't originally realized that Izlude was already taken, I don't want to be screwying with anything so I will figure it out. I would rather attempt to make them all look original and cool rather than make them look like actual people anyways. So I will keep brainstorming with Voldemort for his portrait.

I know you already already had Fanatic as a generic monk in part one, mind if I change him up for part two and any particular requests? Oh yeah and don't think I forgot about those buttpants.

I won't mention the buttpants, though. Less pressure for you, more pleasant surprise for him.
