Rad: Sprite changes in Mercenaries?

[SilvasRuin]

In the last chapter, I would assume Ramza and/or the player would have learned more about him, so he would be less mysterious in any case.

[MiKeMiTchi]

IMO just don't make him angry..
He can't get any woman if he looks like that..
unless he gave that up for the final chapter..

[Sephirot24]

Neutral would be ok. As long as you don't make him cheerful...
If not, semi-angry looks fine IMO. It's like he's passed through some harsh things.

[jimmyjw88]

I think this looks great. Well done mav ^^

[mav]

For me, Rad is the innocent one on the team. He should not be angry..
He should be neutral.

I'll keep the "stress" marks but give him his old eyes back.

And guys, feel free to gimme your suggestions on how to fix some things: e.g. what hair style should he have? The same as he did in Ch. 1? Something more like Gafgarion or something more like what he has now (long, semi-tidy), etc. I prefer to hear what people want rather than give them something that is only somewhat satisfactory.

EDIT: Eyes have been replaced, stress marks still there, now 16 colors (which was surprisingly easy, actually).

EDIT 2: Cleaned up some random blemishes.

I prefer the long haired look to Rad it fits him well for that point in the story.

[Sephirot24]

I like both long hair versions: this one and the other one you did with a ponytail that stood out. Also, I like the expression on his face.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Yes, yes. That's more like it, mav! He looks more like himself.
Excellent. I'll give a try sometime with the hair, too.

But first.. The sprite should be taken cared...

[mav]

Awesome. Hopefully this new hair style won't complicate the sprite...I don't want to give you too much work, MiKe. Though using Aliste's head (with a quick recolor) should suffice.

Phenomenal avatar, by the way.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Haha Thanks mav.
Okay.. having head swap for Rad won't hurt.. good idea.

[Seushiro]

Why not use the Mini Scarf so you can make the belt look better. ..

I tried it with my Treize and it left me a lot of space in the lower chest area

[Asmo X]

I wanted to make some recommendations for this but I thought it would be easier just to do an edit myself

[mav]

Gorgeous sprite...this is easily one of my favorites as of late...

[Seushiro]

Thanks for the edit Asmo forgot to swap the colors from the butler change. . . I think I should also remove the black and brown pixel below the mini scarf since that was left overs from his previous version. . .

Edit: oh the shoulder was also anti-aliased just noticed it. . . the chest area has been cleared up too. . .I have a huge color problem with this guy now cause of the shoulder pad colors. . .

[Sephirot24]

It looks like some kind of important general.. ala English guys in 1800 / early 1900. Nice work.

[jimmyjw88]

Looking great ^^

Well, I was messing around with the idea of using Rad in my own hack, so I grabbed Vanya's sprite and Rad's portrait and messed around a bit. I figured I'd take a crack at giving him brown hair, like I suggested in an earlier post in this thread.

So, here's what I came up with. Tell me what you think.

[mav]

Both the sprite and the portrait seem to look flat, for whatever reason.

[kafei]

This was basically a project I decided to do at about 4 in the morning, so it's no surprise there's some things wrong with it; it was a pretty quick edit. What would you suggest, mav? I think the portrait looks acceptable, though.

I like this.
Except... there's something about the eyebrows... I don't know what it is.
