Try a bt more of a dark palette perhaps and add some texture to the feather perhaps

Hmm I attempted a weird Portrait it isn't much but I am going to change it some more to remove the zalbaag look, I just thought the turban horn looked cool          edit-
critisism is always welcome so i can improve!

Well, I don't really know what you're going for with it, but if you wanted Zalbag with a horn thing on his head then I'd say mission accomplished, looks good to me.

I improved the hat a little but I think it needs a little more texture and the only thing i havn't done yet is his neckerchief which confused me when I tried editing it.

That definitely looks a lot better, he should look pretty good with a little more work.

Looks good now  

Can someone help me with his neckerchief I'm so confused of changing thier colors?  

haha looking at that zalbag/ horn thing if you gave him a bandana and made it go over one eye hed make a good looking pirate..

hm now that you mention XD .. hm now i would like to see a pirate class made!

AAAAaaaaaaaaarrrrg!!!  Pirate class, sounds like Dragonquest.  Although I always felt that humans had little access to "water" elemental abilities.  It would sure help against those bombs.

okay so the redmage sprite is nice, but are there more updates to it? there were a few glitches when i used it... when you strike with a sword theres a line over the top from whatever frame is above...

overall tho its a great sprite

Now that I'm back working on the Red Mage portrait will be my first order of business. I will do some touchups to Sen's and I will also continue to work on mine. The glitches with the Red Mage sprite are just because it was inserted one pixel too low and will be fixed when the portrait is finalized.

Edit:
Okay Sen here is your portrait with a white kerchef. Do not that the actual game sprites are not the same size or "resolution" since the base that you are working off of is basically a double sized blowup. So I'm not sure how it will shrink down. I like what you have done with the hat, but I'm going to keep working my own. Oh and I have no idea how many colors you are using and I made no changes other than the colors of the kerchef.

I used 20 colors changing green to red then adding 3 diff red and one gray.
I will still edit it though because it must only be 16 colors am I right?I will change also his face because it still Beowulf.

Thank you for the help!!

16 colors is correct.

Oh man portraits are a pain. So much work for so little pay off. The original art is just so good, and it is so hard to capture the ammount of texture that is found in the original portraits. But here is my latest attempt at a portrait for my Red Mage. I think this is about as good as I'm going to get it and I'm pretty happy with it. It still isn't down to 16 colors, but it shouldn't be too hard. Input/suggestions/criticisms are always appreciated.

I think that the hat is a bit too "3-D" for a 2-D game like FFT.
It's still very good though. Well done, Cheetah!  

The hat's lighting and shadow are misplaced the dark part should be at the back.

check what I've done to the hat of my portrait.

Sen: The hat I was using as a base had the shading like that because the "cap" part of the hat is supposed to kind of have a spade like shape if you were looking at it from the top. Hard to explain without pictures. But the shading in the front is supposed to represent the hat kind of scooping in before coming back out. But with just a limited section of the hat visible I don't think the effect is captured. I will likely have to change it to something similar to what you are doing.

Kenj: The shading is a little too detailed making it seem too three dimensional. By eliminating one of my shades of red I hope to remedy the problem somewhat.

Thank you for your input.

Aww.... may I say your current Red Mage looks positively adorable! Well done, with it currently. It doesn't look a bit like Beowulf any longer, but the face looks familiar, but I can't recall from where...

It's the oracles face

EDIT:I just made the portrait from Beowulf because he has a neckerchief and  
he's my favorite character

good faces to use are the commoners faces because no one ever really sees them so they wont look fermiliar...

i dont know if anyone noticed but my red headed replacement for Alicia, mysty, was made from the portrait of "20yo woman"
