Plans for new sprites, whats everyone working on?

[Dormin Jake]

bah ignore

[Dormin Jake]

I think it would be great if there was a sprite for a Blackbelt class. I love Monks, and Blackbelts are just the more badass version with more cloths. I'm not sure what skills to give them, but if they could equip some types of armor and do like dual hand attacks, and maybe equip a new claw weapon that would be a good start. Is it possible to have a character do two attacks with their fists?

No weapon equipped + Two Swords = two fist attacks

[Cheetah]

Well that is sweet, it would be easy to give the class innate Two Swords. I'm really curious about doing custom weapons too. Though claws seem like they would be pretty hard to do.

[gojoe]

is there a way to make a weapon use the punching action? then just make claws from that

[Cheetah]

Hmmm, I'm going to make a topic in the hacking section about this.

[BeoulveBlack]

well actually, i noticed that when a dancer uses cloth as a weapon, she does her punching motion (i think; it's where she briefly raises her hand then open-palm punches).

if anyone wants, there is, of course, a .BIN that contains all of the in-game in-battle graphics for weapons (can't remember which one) which can be opened and viewed perfectly; this could be edited and the cloth can be removed to place a fist/claw over it.

the reason i'm sure no one ever really suggested this is because no one uses cloths (especially not on males)

EDIT: it's not a .BIN; it's found in the 'BATTLE' directory of the FFT.img as WEP.SPR

Heres a preview of my new project...Yeah thats right its another tietra! In her official SE spritesheet she had an unused sprite so i wanted to create it. Tell me what you think of it

[Cheetah]

Pretty cool looking.

[Miroshi Beshima]

Thanks cheetah! There are a few things that still need be be fixed though....

[Wareya]

I'm back from the dead, with a pretty much finished portrait!

Note: The mirroring makes that tuft of hair look wierd, will fix it up soon.

[Ichipoo]

im thinking about doing a Lelouche sprite from Code Geass and maybe even have his own scenario when he gets transported to Ivalice......... if i have enough time

[DarthPaul]

that would be cool

[Cheetah]

Well I finally changed my avatar...by adding more pixels! If we are going to double size portraits as avatars we might as well double the number of pixels that are unique. This still uses the same number of colors and is just making the image higher resolution by hand. I'm sure their are some good filters that could do the same thing, but if you are looking for a good exercise in spriting and pixel placement I would recommend giving this a try on your own avatar. I think it looks pretty slick too.

[DarthPaul]

nice but could you explain what you did to make it awesome

[Cheetah]

Well these portraits are twice the size of the originally with no blurring or anything, so they look blocky because what was once one pixel is now four in a square. I went through by hand and just added more single pixels to make smoother edges. Just download the avatar and open it in a graphics program and start adding pixels and it will make sense.

[DarthPaul]

cool i shall do this

[DarthPaul]

i have done it it looks better and if neone wants it done for them i will be more than happy to do it

[LastingDawn]

Highly impressive Cheetah! That does look a lot better! I can't help but think though it loses a slight bit of it's classic charm, but it does look better, so... eh well.

[Zozma]

hmm okay well at the very least a temporary generic dark knight?

whacha think? (aww look they're holding hands...)

[Cheetah]

Looks good, I'm guessing it would be near impossible to remove his fluffy shawl though. I think it would look more unique without it, but more work than it is likely worth.
