Takeno's attempt for spriting

[Takeno]

Thank Celdia. Only problem is the cape that has disappeared but I'll try to improve it.

(Kagebunji tell me that it was a bit flashy so maybe i'll darken it a bit and change the hair (a bit too picky))

Edit: I manage to solve the palette problem (thank to Celdia help) by erasing one colour of the cape and reshading it with two colours (instead of three). I darken the color a bit (using the yellow palette of the black mage hat). For the hair I dunno why but I thought there was fitting.

Here is the version (the last I think)

Edit: Sorry seems like I messed up again. This one is good.

Good job on the portrait. Welcome to FFH!

[Takeno]

Thank Lijj (comming from someone more advance than me, I feel great)

I dunno what is the best: showing each frame one at a time (since I want to take my time doing thing neatly and I'm not sure it is  ) or posting most of them and redoing the batch ?

Here another view

[Taichii]

reduce 1 yellow pixel from the upper left hair..
the middle should be the longest.
anyway..
i think its better to post all the frames even though they are not edited yet.

When you said upper left and the middle you're speaking about the hair (or the shoulder pad) ?
If it's about the hair should I make the second spike from the left shorter or the third from the left longer?
Also for further changes, I'll edit the first post (it'll more easy to spot the fresh work at first sight)

Well I'm a bit perfectionnist and make thing one at a time but I'll try to work a bit faster.

[Durbs]

but I'll try to work a bit faster.

No rush. And yes, he meant the hair.

One last thing...

WELCOME TO FFH, WHERE ALL YOUR DREAMS DISCLAIMER: (may or may not) COME TRUE!

[Nojgaard]

First of all, wellcome to FFH, you are making a good job with that sprite.
Second, taking the caracter reference and the portrait i think the sprite hair look too spiky, try to cut it just a little

[Takeno]

To Durbs and Nojgaard: thank for your welcome. (If I can finish this one fellas then my dream will come true. Kidding.)

To Nojgaard: Kagebunji said the same thing so I tried to remodel a bit the hair (I think now there's less spicky and it should fit a bit more the reference and the portrait).

[Tea]

The only thing I can think of when I see the portrait to improve, is that it looks a bit like a line drawing coloured in. Especially the right side of the portrait is egregious in this respect. The red eyes look very nice, the hair is awesome.

[Kagebunji]

All that neccesarry was said on chat. Here is the fix:

[Takeno]

Thank for your advice on irc Kagebunji and for fixing it. I'll work till I finish it.

[Jon]

Nice hair Kage, this is looking better and better!

[Takeno]

Yep looking better but there's still a lot to do.

[3lric]

Hey, I think Kage was trying to make this post here and accidentally posted it in Taichii's thread instead

[Kagebunji]

Hah, true, I was in a rush so I posted it in the wrong topic. Here:

[Takeno]

I see now what I did wrong (I tried to modify Delita hair but seems like I failed)
Thanks again Kagebunji. (I hope I'll managed to make the other frame by myself. I know you're busy with other things)

Damn hair !!!

[Taichii]

LOL XD

[Jon]

Damn hair !!!

Hair is tough, but try making totally new arms from scratch, I think that's the hardest

Due to some of the issues we were having on one of Jot5's sprites I am inclined to completely agree with you.
Custom arms apparently = RAGEQUIT   lol

(Hooray to Choto for taking up the task )

[Takeno]

Well now I know what I don't want ot start doing (I swear I won't do custom arms from scratch)
