Parted Ways Sprites

[Eternal]

As per Kage's request I'm begrudgingly making this topic... begrudgingly namely because so many of you guys are busy with other projects. About half of the generic jobs in PW still need new sprites and as much as I dislike bothering you guys, with so many new spriters, I figure it couldn't hurt to ask. Below is a list of each job I need a sprite for and some general background on what they're like in battle and what their themes are.

Male Sniper:
The Sniper uses Bows, Crossbows, and Guns. Their attacks hit with perfect accuracy, and their skills rely on laying Snares- continual attacks that damage enemies and debuff them while possibly Immobilising them, causing them to become trapped in those Snares. Replaces Archers.

CONCEPT: http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/3/32/Ff14-class-archer.jpg

(Minus the hat... hood... thingy.)

Female Berserker:
The Berserker uses Berserk magic to throw enemies into a fury, as well as Berserking themselves to increase their raw power. They also cripple enemies in hand-to-hand combat by breaking their limbs and throwing sand in their foes' eyes to Blind them. Using their bare fists, Beserkers ravage enemy forces. Replaces Monks.

CONCEPT: http://www.spriters-resource.com/snes/chronotrigger/sheet/2511

(Minus the tail, poofy hair, and different color scheme for the fur.)

Male Elementalist:
The Elementalist uses nature to both harm enemies and aid allies, ranging from effects such as damage, to debuffs, to buffing, to healing- all varying on what terrain the Elementalist is on. Replaces Geomancer.

CONCEPT: http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/e/e7/Ffta-moogle-animist.jpg

(Non-moogle, of course.)

Female Elementalist
See Male Elementalist.

CONCEPT: http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/2/21/Ff13-fang.png

Male Performer:
Troubadours whose songs and dances leave enemies enthralled and can aid allies. Like vanilla's Bard and Dancer rolled into one package, with new Songs/Dances. They use Instruments and Carpets as weapons. Replaces Ninja.

CONCEPT: http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/6/63/Arc-Bard.png

Male Psion:
Pyrokinetic, emotionless mages whose magicks manipulate and befuddle enemy forces. Their ability to disrupt enemy thoughts also lend well to crippling enemy mages. Replaces Time Mages.

CONCEPT: http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/1/19/BangaaTrickster.jpg

(Without visor. Human, obviously.)

Female Psion:
See Male Psion.

CONCEPT: http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/a/a8/Psychic_Paine.jpg

(Again, minus the visor.)

Male Sage:
Arbiters of time and space, and keepers of the ultimate magicks, Sages use Gravity, Flare, Meteor, and Ultima as well as other map-wide skills to change the flow of battle. Though their bodies are frail, their magicks can easily destroy enemies. Replaces Calculators.

CONCEPT: http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/5/5e/Dissidia_Onion_Sage.png

Female Sage:
See Male Sage.

CONCEPT: http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/5/5e/TAYPSP-LeonoraSprite.png

(Maybe less baggy sleeves?)

Male Avatar:
Shamans whose contracts with those beyond the veil allow them to summon Espers from Magicite. As the player progresses with the story, they acquire shards of Magicite which allow Avatars to summon monsters to damage enemies and aid allies. Replaces Samurai.

CONCEPT: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110115132338/finalfantasy/images/thumb/7/73/FF3-Evoker.png/250px-FF3-Evoker.png

Female Avatar:
See Male Avatar.

CONCEPT: http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/8/89/Ffta-viera-elementalist.jpg

(If I were to ever write lore for these guys, it'd be that males summon spirits from Magicite by chanting incantations, whereas females would summon them by performing wild, magical dances.)

Female Scholar:
Intelligent mages who specialise in the school of Aero and Bio magicks, as well as are able to remove buffs and debuffs. Replaces Mediators.

CONCEPT: http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/6/65/Hal.jpg
CONCEPT 2: http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/d/df/TAYPSP-HarleySprite.png

Male Mime:
Same as Vanilla's mime.

Male Freelancer and Female Sentinel taken by me. I will do some concepts at a later date.

[Wolfran]

I want Male psion and female berseker, because I'm stuck with nakoruru's sprite and I need something else to do.

[Eternal]

Feel free, guys. Have fun!

EDIT: Posted concepts.

EDITRA: Feel free to break away from said concepts if you'd like. This is just kind of how I see them, and, well, I have no taste in sprites. So do what you guys think would look best.

[Joseph Strife]

I'm no spriter but i realy like the concepts, if the spriters can make somethings like that Parted Ways will be prettier than expected, i loved the sga concept. Anyways, hopes for good sprites, i know you all can.

[Cheetah]

For the Sages you should try using these as bases:


http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=1072.1080

Just get rid of his goattee and he will make a great generic. Give him a funny hat if you wish. The arms might be an issue since the attack animations are incomplete, but they might not be that hard.



Just do a palette change and maybe a different headswap and she would be pretty perfect and would go with the other guy very well.

[GeneralStrife]

Oh man...I will meditate on this.

[Kagebunji]

I even began cleaning up that Sage guy some time ago. He surely would make a great Sage. For the missing part of the sheet Simon/Zalmo could work, just making it a little different. I was a fan of White Noble in the contest(I even voted for it as a third place), so I fully support the idea of making it a female. Perhaps Diil could do it?

[Kagebunji]

Concept for Female Guardian:



Main goal was to keep it close to Knight and give some Guardian stuff(the helmet), also to differ her a little more from male, I gave her cute eyes, as opposed to male's angry ones.

[GeneralStrife]

That's winning, kage.
I can't see anything I don't like about it at the moment.

[Xifanie]

Well that worked because without reading your post I saw the pic and the first thing that stunned me was the feminine face; I hadn't even looked at the dress.

[Kagebunji]

Small update. Reworked the helmet's shading, thanks to Twinees for pointing it out. I will have to do something about back frames, since the hair doesn't blend in too well as you can see. Probably Female Onion Knight will help here.

[Cheetah]

It would be nice to see here in a different color than blue, maybe a purple? The hair doesn't need to be gray right?

[GeneralStrife]

Metal hair...not sure if sexy.

[RandMuadDib]

Is!

[Kagebunji]

Blue is the default first palette, so I am not eager to change it, all I could do is some different shades of blue. There are no more colors, so I cannot do anything else than "metal hair". It was decided earlier on chat that I will hide the hair.

[Wolfran]

I'm planning to do a small edit in her clothes because it still look like the Lijj's female viking. Any suggestion for clothes??

[Cheetah]

She is looking a little SD. Hair is too bit and body is too skinny. Her feet look a bit big too. Sorry Wolfran, I'm not a fan of this berserker.

[GeneralStrife]

Teh feet. I got a foot fetish and I can safely say those are monsters.

[Lijj]

I think I got those clodhoppers from the thief;
don't make fun
jk -
I do like the female Viking with the dress far more but this seems good for a berserker concept
I like the concept and hair Wolfran I can't think of anything though for the clothing. For the hair, maybe it could come in a tad in the back.. but as it is it doesnt bother me.

For the guardian
I think the idea of a plume from the oyo knight could femenize the helmet more..
Good work fellows
