Espers from FFXII

[Lydyn]

Cheetah wanted me to post a preview for these, so here they are;

Chaos


Exodus


Famfrit


Mateus


Shemhazai


Zeromus

[Cheetah]

Yeah I'm pretty sure those are all from the DS game FF 12 Reverent Wings. They look pretty wonky, but they could probably work as a good base to work from to create new Zodiacs.

Thanks for showing them off Lydyn.

[Zozma]

the nice thing about them is, if they are smoothed out they actually seem like theyd fit nicely

[dwib]

these would be really great to have if they were touched up a bit. i'd definitely use them

[Zozma]

but the screenshot you took here, you have no natrual settings for smoothing sprites do you?

all sprites will look rougher without any kind of settings like that.

I guess not? Especially since I haven't clue what you're talking about.

[Zozma]

im merely referring to emulation settings

[Archael]

concur

[Lydyn]

Oh, I guess not ... the rougher look never bothered me. Either way, I'm having a lot of trouble cleaning these up. I only think Chaos and Mateus really need much, and it's really hard for me to do anything at my level. Oh well, they look decent enough as they are.

[Zozma]

famfrit looks the most useable and thank god cause thats the only new zodiac demon im adding in (at least for now) anyway.

i wonder about portraits tho...

[KazeKasano]

Has anyone considered replacing Hashmal, Adrammelech, Cuchulainn, Zalera, or Ultima with their RW sprites?

[Cheetah]

They don't really look as good in my opinion.

[Lydyn]

I tend to agree. The only ones I really enjoy are Shemhazai & Zeromus. The rest really are too busy (except Famfrit) ... I tried making Chaos less busy and more to the FFXII look, but I got to the head and failed, lol.

However! I will be using them, simply because they're unused/new. I'd never use them for for a sequel though until I could clean them up.

[KazeKasano]

They've really been stretched too far.

[DarthPaul]

......Must be an interesting event to keep them 16 colors.

[KazeKasano]

Indeed. That's the biggest problem I ran into while I was trying to make (it failed) Cuchulainn. That and the amount of stretching.

[Lydyn]

......Must be an interesting event to keep them 16 colors.

The current ones are 16 colors.

[DarthPaul]

Yes but with the multicolor i bet getting the shading and blending just right must gave been a challenge.

[Zozma]

what if you use a dither effect and then reduce the color back to 16 afterwards?

[Vanya]

Yeah I'm pretty sure those are all from the DS game FF 12 Reverent Wings.

Except Zeromus, he's from scratch.
