Final Fantasy Hacktics

Well, seu, Exdeath would be easier to finish if you place the spikes together wth the head.
But, that would sacrifice some quality Exodus..

I know but u cant put the spikes in the arms for the attack pose. . . I tried it. ..  it will become mini spikes. . .

Maybe, those arms will be exceptions.
I'm home now.. yes, I can test the sprite!

Just finished retouching some parts. . .

Sure.
Let's see..

HOLY FUCK. The colors look appropriate, though I wouldn't mind seeing some better contrast. Very nice sprite, Seu. Very nice. This deserves an amazing portrait.

Im done with the animations and have tested it. . . attack arms still needs to be recolored. . .

Sprite is uhm. ..  75% the missing 25% is for the colors needed in the arms, cape shading, and that cursed back pattern!. . . need portrait but will try making one. ..

Great job there.
Can't wait your try for the portrait.

Something like this:

Finally ExDeath one of my favorite FF characters ever and it looks very trustful to the original

and the portrait is great to Mike,but it looks abstract

^ just got that from the final fantasy wikia, then resized it.

How Come I never thought of looking for a reference pic there. . . Hangs self****

but still nice concept mike. . . her followed the lighting and took out the reds. .. .  then Recolored and normalized in Photoshop and rest was paint history. . .

eye part still needs to be closed. . .  his right side. . . (if it even has eyes)

cnt keep the outline. . . looks bad ingame. . .

^ Cool edit. Don't forget to lower the saturation values for all colors, though.
And Finally, fixe the outline shadings then it's done.

I give up. . . i'm no good at portraits. . . it is like doing hair for sprites always my weakness. . .

Okay. Pass that to me.

Seu, I recommend you that you read about "anti-aliasing"..
Me, I'm not really good at all right now, but having learn the basics
of anti-aliasing in pixel art will remove your weakness.. *I think.

anti-aliasing is basically outlining in pixel art, to make it blend with the background.

Thanks Mike I really appreciate ur generosity. . . I'll focus back on finishing the gold gauntlets and the back cape holster with some parts of the sprite. . .

Here:

Thanks Mike that looks great I will just finish the left over gold arms and submit it with that. . .

wowed by that portrait

overall the sprite is huge and complicated but it looks good. hard to believe it is only 16 colors!

Any chance someone could make a video of it in action?

Whoa...That portrait is amazing, Mike!!! Awesome!!! And very nice sprite Seushiro. Very nice.
