Can someone, please oh please! Make a sprite of the gal at the end of this video (http://youtube.com/watch?v=KaAxYMVpB7M)? She appears at 2:19 and stays until the end of it.
She's so freakin' awesome... ^_^ I hope it's not too hard either.

I don't know who she is or anything... I just came across the video and had a huge urge to want her sprite.
*Looks her up* Oh, yep, that's her then! ^_^ Here's a couple of really good pictures of her to get most of her sprite captured or whatever. You should notice her cape is only on her left side and isn't a full one, like traditional ones. Hopefully the video can cover the rest of the details.

I've already thought of giving her Lightning Stab, Arm Aim, Leg Aim, and a sort of explosion & stop skill of some kind - taken from the video.

Not yet. I'm trying to finish my Warrior sprite first. But I have been thinking about how to go about piecing her together from other sprites. I'm thinking her pouch will come from a Chemist, and her cape will be modified from Beowulf/Aliste.
If you want, give me a hand and scope out some sprites that would be useful in making her. If you come up with anything post it here. =)

I'd have to look ... but her head would definitely have to be custom, I'm thinking. I don't expect you to put the sword scabbard though, since no units have that anyways and it's fine.
I'll have to look through the sprites to see what else could work. ^^

Oh! As for the palette, I was thinking a maroon gradient for her hair, pouch, and cape. Then a white one for her coat, and dark blue for the rest. Sound good?

Well, if you can fit dark violet (for the boots mostly) into it too, it'd be perfect. I know you only have 16 colors to play with so I won't be upset if you can't. ^^ Otherwise it sounds perfect.

Shoulder Pad - From the Male Thief or Female Squire
Torso - Modified from Female Thief
Boots - Female Squire or Female Archer
Gloves - Female Dancer
You got the thighs and cape covered too, so ... hope that helps. That's what I thought fit best anyways. ^^

She's not the most interesting design I've ever seen, but the whole game seems like it's going to be decidedly NOT final fantasy-like. So whatever.

Well, anyways... can you try and make it so it's the same 'build' as the pig-tailed girl? She seems to be the easiest choice to completely add a new character with.

Sure.
BTW, I finished my new Warrior F, and I'm 1/3rd done with Warrior M. I'll post them when I finish. The male is different than the ones I posted before.

That's ok. I can start on Lightening on Monday. This is my 3 year anniversary weekend so I'll be indisposed until then. I'll probably start gathering the parts for her now, though. That won't take long, and my girlfriend is totally passed out right now anyway.

Alright! today I'll start on Lightning. Later on today I'll post the preliminary set of base sprites to keep you updated. I'll regularly post updates, too. I'm also thinking I might start a thread just for my finished sprites like what Zozma did. OK?

I already started setting some stuff up like her class and skillset too. Should be fun. She has a modified Shadow Stitch that acts like Galaxy Stop, but isn't 100% like the original and a sword skill that does gravity damage. She also has a flare spell that can cast slow on the enemy. ^^

I read up that she specializes in gravity magic, hence all the high jumping and stuff. That's why I gave her a gravity sword skill and ignore height as a movement ability and a natural 5 jump (only 3 move).
Also, I'm going to be .. uh .. replacing her over Balmafula and I want to make sure it works right. I'm putting Balmafula over the enemy Meliadoul version ... it cuts off at the bottom, but I don't think any of the story cut-scenes use those parts of the sprite anyways, so it should be fine. ^^

Yeah, I'm not that mean or anything... though it would be nice to have Lightning unique to my released patch. I'm not at all bothered by people using it for personal patches, and I certianly can't stop anyone from using one in a released patch ... I'd just be a little disappointed.
So, if you want to use it ... use it. ^^

This is the palette I have thus far. My solution for the boots is a combination of the blues and the colors in the shorts. Most of the colors are sampled from the FFXIII screen shots.
