Official Sprite Request Section (Rarely fulfilled)

[Zozma]

someone was working on a tonberry, but like 90% of all sprite project it seems like it never completely finished.

people have a way of not submitting their stuff

[Rsksephiroth]

is there a sydney sprite from vagrant story. i would love to play as him.

this is a pic which contains 2 characters sydney & that guy who turns zombie in snowfly forest

[Mental_Gear]

Whoa, that Sydney is cool. The original had a pencil for a waist but that would look odd in FFT.

the sprite is cool but i think that the portrait is too much like a female monk but otherwise its great

[Asmo X]

The Sydney sprite isn't good at all. The shading is fresh out of some virtual reality game from 1996. Why is it so blocky? Also, I said this in another thread, but people need to be more conscious of what parts of a design will translate to sprite form. Things that don't translate well: 1) Pecs. 2) Tattoos. The cape hanging down his back is also cardboard. Don't try and make your own parts when you start spriting. They will always look like shit. Look at existing sprites for what you need and if they don't have something specific, adapt something. Use half of the mediators cloak or something.

The second sprite is fractionally better. Look at the boots. What kind of shading is that? If the boots are red, the shading should also be red. Not only that but one of those grays is far too light anyway. It's lighter than the red it backs on to.

just for record i didn't make this i just found these on the web. i suck on spriting

[Mental_Gear]

Asmo, the cape isn't that bad.

[Asmo X]

Yes, it is. The different shades are placed ignorant of any light source. If it's supposed to be a pattern, then there is no shading. It doesn't hang like fabric is supposed to either. It is a piece of shit. Straight up

[Kagebunji]

I agree with Asmo, shading isn't too good, the shading on upper part of legs look... strange.

[Luiakyn]

I also agree with Asmo. The cape is very unFFT. Look at the Reis, Delita Chapter 4 or the knight. they have a "Bubble" effect.


I had to look up Sydney to see what all of that was trying to represent. Remember not to over express parts: go simple.

This isn't the best example, I'm sure, and I'm sure it could use work, but this is more FFT like:

[Zalge]

And there you have it. Someone start expanding on that! xD Oh, wait a sec... no tatoo! Eh.. I guess it doesn't matter that much.

[Luiakyn]

Best I could imagine with the tatoo. I think it'd be better without it.

[LastingDawn]

Well the Tattoo is of the Rood Inverse, which is very important to Vagrant Story's storyline but... eh, I guess if it can't be done, it can't be done.

[Zalge]

Just make a portrait with him turned around and panned down to his back to see the tatoo whenever its mentioned or important.

[Zozma]

the only way the tat will be obvious is on the stopped back view, and even then detail on something so small would be a challenge

[Seushiro]

Wow. . . awesome vagrant story stuff. . . and yep detail on the tattoo does not matter. . . it still looks great

[Asmo X]

That one is WAY better. WAY. Nice try on the tattoo but I stand by what I said. Some things just don't scale down to sprite-size.

[Seushiro]

I wanna request for a hunter type of sprite. If Knights can become Holy Knights then archers can be Hunters/SNipers. . .

[GeneralStrife]

Cid from FF7.

Guys, I know this thread says sprite requests but let's face it: It's not going to happen. Firstly no one wants to waste time making a sprite unless they are sure it's going to be for a worthwhile cause, secondly, learn to do it yourself because it is super easy.
