The Balbanes Sprite Topic (Sprite Completed)

[Cheetah]

Yeah colors need some work. I'm still waiting for someone do do a really good cape with a collar instead of a hood, but this is looking pretty damn good.

[jimmyjw88]

Hmm...A unique cape...Collar...Something like Balthier or Female Thief? ^^

[RolyTunedIn]

i'll give a try on the pallette changes but, i don't know if i have the skill to add in the collar

[RopeSander]

Thats a great design... I always imagined Balbanes as having a lighter pallette like Orlandu meets Delitia.  I'm glad I inspired better spriters to take a whack at this :p

[RolyTunedIn]

i actually did this like a month ago but was too lazy to upload it...

[Bloodthirster0]

a sprite like this



thats cold52's attempt,it is awesome,but he quit doing it

[RopeSander]

Yeah that one is right on.  Balbanes I imagine would be a humble looking badass.

[mav]

Not bad Roly--work on those colors, as everyone said. And someone should definitely pick up cold's concept and complete it. I kinda wish he had a design on his cape, or that it wasn't brown or something. Anyway, it's solid.

[RopeSander]

Yeah I agree with Mav, his cape should be a little special.

[cold52]

And someone should definitely pick up cold's concept and complete it.

if anyone wants feel free to do so...until I find a job
(BTW thats going horribly D: )
im probably not gonna do too much spriting.

[Saigas]

I've taken a close look at Cold's sprite. As far as can be determined, it has way too many colors. If anyone decides to complete this sprite, they will need to take that into account and see what they can nix out of the palette without ruining the detail of the sprite too much.

I, myself, have started working on it, but I encourage better spriters to try their hand as well.

[Bloodthirster0]

Yeah I just checked the colors,the problem is that there isnt much color sharing among the parts,only hair,pants and gloves are sharing colors,while skin,boots and cape have different colors and those parts can share colors easily,also remove the second lighter skin of light,its useless

[Saigas]

Here is something done whilst trying to cut down on colors. The golds have been removed, so I'm going to see what I can do to fix that later, but it doesn't look too bad.

[Bloodthirster0]

dude,you have 3 shades of black that are very alike,an eye exclusive white shade and one of the browns are only used where the lightest gold shade were and you remove the golds? Strange

here work with this pallete,I kept the 3 blacks,removed the eye white and re-added the gold

[Saigas]

Removing the golds was accidental. I went with the first 16 colors I grabbed. ^^;

Yours looks much better. Now I have something to work with. ^_^

[MiKeMiTchi]

Figure out the base sprites, first.
After that, continue working with it.

If I knew the base sprites, I will gladly finish this.

[RopeSander]

I'm excited for the Balbanes sprite, make us proud Saigas, also, this is kinda off topic but, has anyone else been having a problem with the forums page load times, mine have been real slow, but everything else I use online is normal.. *shrugs*

[Aquablack]

It looks like Orlandu's cape and the bard's body.

Edit: oh yes, and I think that's Olan's head, or at least similar to it.

[Jumza]

Rope Sander- me too but after i look at 2 or 3 topics it goes back to normal

Saigas- awesome sprite

[MiKeMiTchi]

Actually, It's similar to Blancsh's cape.
