I plan on making a new sprite.
I plan to base it on this person right here.
Probably hood down, might make another version with hood up.

I have no idea where to start and therefore require guidance from a seasoned spriter

id think the male summoner sprite would be a good start for the cape and hood design with the hood down. for the hood up. id use either loffrey or meliadouls hood and combine it with the summoner cape.

i would love to see the hood down version i like Raven's hair. you could use my "miang2" head for her hair, the hair is 3 color shades it would be easy to change to black and mod slightly

It shouldn't be too hard. the best thing to do is borrow color palettes from existing sprites.
a good blueblack you could get from my custom "lust" sprite's hair and that shade of purple? hmm i dont think anything has that naturally
or perhaps the skeleton's cape color, its more indigo than blue when u compare it to other blue palettes in fft...

I Need MAJOR Crits as this is my first go at custom spriting, and i am sure i have hundreds of mis placed pixels.

good for a first attempt, you did that very fast. now obviously the legs need to be modded...
is her haircolor and cape color using the same colors? if not then make her hair black with a blue sheen id say...
glad you took my advice on using miang's hair, i think it was a perfect match....

Raven update..I decided to try my butchering skills again.
Suspenders removed...her boobage is currently a black hole...head alignment possibly fixed
I'm basically shouting at my computer going FFFFUUUU cause I keep messing up and having to undo and unsure where some of the head ive got would go...maybe i should start over and slap the body onto the head instead of vice versa as i have been doing...also 24 colors Bah..

No don't do that General! Heads are easier to replace than bodies. You just need to figure out how to replace the legs...and make it look more like a swim suit or whatever it is she is wearing under the cape...imo the colors are very good.

Thanks General Strife. I have a problem with that; I've posted a few misaligned portraits. I thought I updated Female Generic Knight already though.
If it's the Terra I did about a year ago I'm not sure I want it on the main page cause the portrait isn't any good and the sprite's got those large thief hands.
I'll add the others tomorrow early along with Kage's additions and more.
btw Why don't you have the finished Picture of Meliadoul as an avatar?
No complaints about the choice but that's an unfinished version.

Also, Lijj have you thought of putting the symbol that's on your generic male knight's cape on the female's too?
The male Gen knght has got to be one of my favorite sprites that you made. It is really shexy. But I feel like the female could be a little more similiar.

The alma contest may have conquered my fear of portraits. (That doesn't mean I'm good at them.)
I decided to run in full blown doing it.
Hair, skin tone, and outfit colors are off. I don't know what to do next. Need a heavenly spriter good at a portrait for advice. I wanna thank cheetah and wolf and all the other spriter bros for the event for getting me re interested in spriting and makin the section active again.
Tell me what you think of the raven portrait, still needs the diamond in her forehead which I have no ideas how to do

The portrait that you are using as a base is kind of lacking a forehead, so that is part of your problem. This is a step in the right direction, keep refining it. Though I think you might want to consider using a different head as a base.

Sorry General, that portrait isn't going to cut it. I actually change the design later and it is a blindfold now instead of a mask. I will try to post soon my latest attempts so that people can take a real stab at this. There are like to versions of this sprite already on the main page, I should get this original up there.
I am just really bad about leaving various sprites laying around near complete.

Looks really nice! I like the hair and the blue with the black.
Yeah, I am with Durbs. I think the band needs some shading.
Not sure if anyone point this out but on the portrait her hair is split down the middle and her sprite, the hair is split on the left side.

IMO if we have a Blue Mage, we need some whites on the sprite and feather. Those are features BM should have. I best some turban wth feather on would work. To make her seem like a girl, just give her long hair coming out of it. Currently it is just Balmafula, no matter how you look at it.

Okay after searching in what i will now call the fifty years spriting war, I found the fran.
I want some professional opinion ( Kage, wolf, lijj, twin :P ) could it be used as a basis for viera sprites? What are your concerns? God, it needs some major cleaning up if it is even salvageable.
And for whatever reason this equally messy Viera Red Mage doesn't have ears.

Whoever made that tried to squeeze in too much detail into a small sprite.
I don't think this is salvagable without doing a lot of work unfortunately. I wouldn't recommend using this as a base... you will need to find a base with similar clothing to Fran's if you want to pull this off. I think you should just make a new one, and use that as a (some what bad) reference and the FFXII:RW sprite as a reference also. Hmm... if you do intend to make anothe Viera, i wouldnt recommend making Fran as her armor may be difficult to draw, perhaps Shara would be easier?
Unfortunately the Red Mage isnt any better :/

Yeah son, I never give up, I just give up for long periods of time.
Boy this looks bad, not as bad as the old one though.
The problem is the #$@#$ing colors I need aren't already in FFT. I stole these from miang/Skeleton. Dammit. Need color help!

Basically, color, hair, shading needs plenty lot of work. Unfortunately, i'm away from home, so i can't show any examples.

Lmao. Hayley portrait? Is that based off my failure? (offtopic)
(ontopic) And the hair on Raven portrait has weird shading. Looks more like a material than hair. Also random purple pixels outside the outline of the hair.

It sure was!
Raven's hair in the TV show always looked like a bad wig to me. It's not fair to make it look like hair now.

Sometimes you have to forfeit what it looks like with what will look good in-game.
(also, eyes on the Hayley portrait seem a little odd.)
EDIT:
Lirmont, maybe try something a little like this. My shading is prolly off (never been too amazing with shading), but it seems a little more natural than what you have.

Not a bad attempt, looks much better than mine....hmm....Epic.
Trouble is the skinsuit she wears...haha...getting it shaded, it looks odd.
Y'all want me to take a swing at it or no?
Her long hair in that one episode looked great though..

Hey Lirmont! Your anti aliasing on the outside of the hair is intuitive but in FFH portraits they never do that. Glad to see you starting to do some pixeling though. Keep it up.

GS, why are you working at portrait sizes of 64x96? It is much much easier to work at the normal size of portraits (32x48).
If you can't come up with something that you are happy with right now Generalstrife, put it to the side for a little while and work on something else. Build up the skills on other sprites that you need for this sprite, then come back to it. I did the same thing with Dart, I wasn't happy with the original design and came back to it later and it looks much better than it did then.
-Twin.

Yeah thanks twin, I know this is way out of my league. And Idk about the size, I've always used this size for editing for some reason i don't know why. I just gotta think of something reasonable to do.

I agree with twin. I still suck and cannot create my own custom sprite/portait (in full minus the edge concept)
You have the enthusiasm to be a great spriter. Most skills come with practice and just dealing with art in general, but without the enthusiasm and motivation a good spriter may as well be a bad one because nothing will be accomplished. I know you can do head swaps, but how about this... send me a message there a few things I could have done if you are interested.

I've been real-life'n that is all pretty much. Was helping my friend Asis Galvin with his final album. Although I don't think it will actually be his final album, but who knows.

I think the problem with this one lies in the visible portion of the face's intersection with the shadow. I think maybe some more of it needs to be visible? Something about the shadow from the hood looks off. I can't tell if the problem is that not enough face is visible, or if it's that the place where the shadow/face intersect is an awkward shape.
A really unhelpful criticism, sorry.

Twinee's improved Lancers are still on the downlow so I decided to release these two, because I don't like the original lancers. The male is mando's originally and it inspired me to fix up the female to match her counterpart.
