Lijj's Sprites

[Lijj]

Hmm, thanks for the insight. I haven't actually done the palettes yet so I was hoping for some feedback on that. I was trying not to stray from the order of normal color combos but I'm not too keen on that purple with black so it's definitely going to become pink! So I think I'll try that using complimentaries as #2. So #1 would have orange trim and #3 would have green perhaps?

Though I personally cannot help thinking that if the cap were lower that only the very bottom of her eyes could be seen would maximize the creepiness factor. Especially when she attacks you can only see a single eye.

This.

Looking forward to see the sprite finished , you surely improved a lot in a short time .
I have a suggestion though , why don't you change the colour of her hands ?
The skin tone doesn't look very good and is taking away the 'black mage feeling' from it .
Just my opinion , do as you see fit .

[Lijj]

Thanks Kyou, that' a nice compliment, I learned a bit in this last month.
So I tried a few things and with the hat to try and fulfill Lasting Dawn's requests but the only way I could make it work would be to make her look down as she walks or it'll just ruin the fighting head tilt all together.  So naw, can't do it; luckily I saved a backup. What a waste of energy... Oh well good practice
I can look into giving her gloves though.

[Lijj]

Gave'er some gloves, that was a good idea  
Here are the actual palettes:
& the 5th one with some attack frames:

[Cheetah]

I'm still not a fan of the first palette, but the rest are really good. The head on the rear attack animations is definitely doing some wonky stuff though.

[jimmyjw88]

Yes, I agree. Rest of the palettes are really good. I really hope you could give the evil, creepy look, because those attack frames really creeps.

<img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt="" title="Razz" /> Alright I fixed the hat. Do you like gray any?

I may need to fix the back standing 3/4 view

[VampragonLord]

the greyish color is a bit "off", i liked the "swampy" look it had, it just needed a bit more pallete tuning. Thats just me though.

[Kagebunji]

The port is off. I dunno if he is watching at the same "spot" as female black mage, or if he is looking straight at us. Making him look at us is a bad idea, not a single sprite have such portrait in FFT, this just isn't FFT style. Change it so it will look more FFT-ish. Oh, and hat looks good though.

[jimmyjw88]

The port is off.

It's pretty hard to tell what we're looking at on the portrait. Consider changing the angle a bit. The sprite concept is fantastic, but it needs a few tweaks: there's too much of the lightest shade on the clothes. Add a wee bit more of the middle shade all around to give the sprite depth. The frilly things on the sprite could use another shade as well. And finally on the walking frames, her hat should bob a little, right?

Great job and good luck. Man, I've only been gone for a week and I'm seeing so many phenomenal sprites pop up.

[Kagebunji]

Great job and good luck. Man

Ekhem, *woman

Yeah, do what Mav said, but if you are bored with sprite, leave it, Meliadoul and Balmafula use the same clothes anyway.

[DeadManWalking]

Now I'm making my own Generic Black Mage... only not as cool looking (it isn't really supposed to be cool looking, though) >_>

[Lijj]

WtF Kage. I'm amused. What makes you think I'm  a girl? Cause I type in purple sometimes?  I'm 29 year old male and I'm not gay either. Don't jump the gun now. What's it matter anyway as long as we make these things work.

DeadManWalking: Why don't you make a generic time mage instead? That way we could just move on. If the black mages aren't going to be as cool as mine why bother.(Not to sound egotistical but you said so) Consider replacing the wacky looking Time mages. They seriously get on my nerves; the whole design just stinks. For such a great position Time Mages hold, they could easily be ten times better lookin.

Mav: I'll look into the shadows, they don't strike me as bad and it's true this is based from Balmafula i just added frillies. -The hat is smaller and less floppy than the original. I haven't tested in game. I'll consider this though if it looks odd.
Glad you're back!  Yes, it's been a good week for ffhacktics sprites. Atma and MasterGrand working on neat things too.

Kage: Now the portrait; Maybe i could just tweak the hat a little and make the angle of the character match the others. Think that would work?

[SilvasRuin]

I'm fairly certain he thought that because of your avatar.  I did too actually...

[DeadManWalking]

So did I.

[Lijj]

Ah! I see. I was weary my lingo was too feminine.

[Cheetah]

The adjustments to the side rear sprite hat are what was needed. Though I think you forgot to do the standing side/rear frame. The portrait needs a lot of work.

[Mari]

Don't worry, I knew you were a boy, Lijj. =P

That mage is look great, by the way.
But yeah, the portrait like everyone says. xD
It looks real good, but it is kinda hard to tell where he's facing and looking.
