Jon's Sprites

[Celdia]

Yup. Sure looks like Ramza in a silly helmet with a mask on his face alright. I'm trying to ignore the lack of a new palette like you suggested but you went through all the trouble of telling us what it will look like instead of just showing us though, so that's turning out to be a little difficult. In fact, since its just a two-piece headswap, there's really nothing else to focus on except how little has been done here. How about actually applying those palette changes so everyone's minds don't immediately think 'Buttpants Ramza" and then post something? Right now its just another uninspired, boring and unneeded Ramza sprite. May as well be a 50th Holy Knight Ramza sprite at this point for all the originality in it.

It's the butt pants that give him away.

Possible Paladin Cecil...maybe I should use Delita's hair...

[Twinees]

Doesnt resemble Cecil that much to me, keep working on the hair and body. If you want to get as much likeness as possible, you are going to need to custom everything except maybe gloves and boots.
Keep working on it

[Kagebunji]

This is Cecil.

[GeneralStrife]

This is Cecil.

Dat Smash Sprite..

[Lijj]

Die tree! lol that avatar is cute. and yeah the only reason that could pass as Cecil is if you call it Cecil. Looks nothing like him.

[jimmyjw88]

Sorry Jon, but that looks nothing like Cecil at all. Either is you continue with Smash's concept (which I highly doubt anyone here could except Twinees or Kage), OR simplify Smash's concept that you're comfortable with and still resemble Cecil.
Good Luck.

Off-topic: Celdia's avi keeps cracking me up

On-topic: Even though it doesn't look enough like Cecil to be Cecil, it's still interesting. Maybe you could do something else with it?

I look at this latest offering and I notice something. This thread was started over three years ago now. Three years ago the first offering here was a single frame of something that had already been done better by other people. Three years ago Jon brought us effectively the same sort of thing. Something of sub-par quality that had already been done by more talented people. Out of morbid curiosity I went to check the custom sprite page for completed sheets from Jon and I found one decent [if flawed - check the death frames] sprite among the set and the notes on it give credit to four other spriters including the portrait being Smash's work entirely, which I think explains why it came out as good as it did.

In three years time, nothing has changed.

Keep up the good work, Jon. Also, the next time you want to showcase something like this just post it in here instead of starting a new thread. It'll save a mod the time of having to clean up after you again.

Nothing else specific to say about the sprite frame because everyone else already said what I was thinking.

Yeah, Smash's Dissidia version of Cecil is unbeatable. Maybe I should use that as a base...Sorry you guys didn't like it. I really like Smash's but what about the original from FF IV? Like this:

[MiKeMiTchi]

Still, you must consider that FFT sprites do not have the same style as FF IV's. Since FFT sprites are larger than FFIV's, more details and colors can be drawn thus making the sprite look similar to its respective portrait, unlike old school 8-bit RPGs. It's not about being consistent with the original, but it's more  about how to make the original consistent with FFT's sprite style.
