Final Fantasy Hacktics

cleaned up the hairline, started the hair/clothes pallette, realized im doing more harm than good. ack. Don't even know how to fix the face...meh. Is my first time messing with portraits though.

i think the forehead is good now, but you can make her have eyebrows , and making the eyes more visible.

mmm..I think I found my weakness. It's shading. I can't figured out how to shade the face, or brows....or clothing....:/

Not going to crush my will to sprite by attempting that hard as hell one above.

You may recognize this if you are a veteran, I intend to finish it. It's the blue mage masked by cheetah.
Portrait attempt Below

Bigger version

why is it blurry?
No friggin clue why it's blurry

ravens hair completely covers her ears, actually the hair on this blue mage, if lengthened in the back and changed to purple, would be a better fit for her... Miangs portrait could use an update for that matter... oh well

Thanks zoz, I was getting a little demoralized cause it's not exactly an easy port, but your plan sounds better.
You are the Premier Pioneer of this section to be honest, It is great to see you here make no mistake.

Sorry General, that portrait isn't going to cut it. I actually change the design later and it is a blindfold now instead of a mask. I will try to post soon my latest attempts so that people can take a real stab at this. There are like to versions of this sprite already on the main page, I should get this original up there.

I am just really bad about leaving various sprites laying around near complete.

Cheetah, It's okay we are all bad about it. But if you don't mind post what you have, I'm doing it for someone's patch.

Okay I will try to do it this weekend.

On the port, the mask looks to... straight. It's a line from point A to point B. You should curve it slightly so it looks more natural.

Looks really nice! I like the hair and the blue with the black.

Yeah, I am with Durbs. I think the band needs some shading.

Not sure if anyone point this out but on the portrait her hair is split down the middle and her sprite, the hair is split on the left side.

IMO if we have a Blue Mage, we need some whites on the sprite and feather. Those are features BM should have. I best some turban wth feather on would work. To make her seem like a girl, just give her long hair coming out of it. Currently it is just Balmafula, no matter how you look at it.

Okay after searching in what i will now call the fifty years spriting war, I found the fran.
I want some professional opinion ( Kage, wolf, lijj, twin   ) could it be used as a basis for viera sprites? What are your concerns? God, it needs some major cleaning up if it is even salvageable.

And for whatever reason this equally messy Viera Red Mage doesn't have ears.

Whoever made that tried to squeeze in too much detail into a small sprite.
I don't think this is salvagable without doing a lot of work unfortunately. I wouldn't recommend using this as a base... you will need to find a base with similar clothing to Fran's if you want to pull this off. I think you should just make a new one, and use that as a (some what bad) reference and the FFXII:RW sprite as a reference also. Hmm... if you do intend to make anothe Viera, i wouldnt recommend making Fran as her armor may be difficult to draw, perhaps Shara would be easier?

Unfortunately the Red Mage isnt any better :/

I second Twinees' opinion. Who even made these?

Our japanese friends

Just something I thought of.

Yeah son, I never give up, I just give up for long periods of time.

Boy this looks bad, not as bad as the old one though.

The problem is the #$@#$ing colors I need aren't already in FFT. I stole these from miang/Skeleton. Dammit. Need color help!
