Sprites for fun

[trickstardude7]

As for the pirate:
Water & Time skills
And stealing abilities.

and perhaps leviathan?

[karsten]

pirates are not really well into FFT world...  

[Zozma]

perhaps a bandit would make more sense?

[Kourama]

Well in the PSP version Balthier is supposed to be a Sky Pirate. He has all the steal abilities except they are start with Plunder instead of Steal. If you really want a pirate you could always add an eyepatch or something to his sprite and import it into the game.

As for his abilities I have nothing to offer the only pirate I've really ever seen in an FF game is Corsair in FFXI and all their abilities have to do with shooting and random chance (rolling dice for ability boosts). Maybe you want to imitate that a bit.

[Zozma]

okay so it took me a while to think of a sprite to swap out lavian with...
how about this?

its jenna from golden sun but im going to keep the name Lavian in the game

[trickstardude7]

perhaps a bandit would make more sense?

yeah i think so oh and i like that sprite for Lavian!

[Xifanie]

Niiiiice!

[Zozma]

so now ill soon have my trio... red mage rad, mystic knight alicia.. and hmmm... donno what job lavian will be but thats her sprite at least in my game... but i think ill make it so alicia and lavian join much later...

Id say this is going pretty well..

here is the file, (you can insert it over one of rafa's identical sprites and it works perfectly) all i have to do now is make the sleeves look a little better and add a portrait... speaking of that.. is anyone REALLY good at doing the portraits..?

[Zozma]

hmm i was going to try to make it less pink and more redish brown because i was worried it would clash in the game but.. after watching the intro battle with her and alicia with  the new misty sprite i gave her.. i jus couldnt do it. i like it the way it is.

[Austin]

Very nice  You're really good at making these.
The portrait looks good too, you're just critiquing yourself too hard.

[Zozma]

thank you

[LastingDawn]

Wow! Very impressive! Though she looks a ton like Jenna from Golden Sun (whom she is modeled after, quite obviously... as you have pointed out.) She has a unique air about her, she looks... tragic, so to speak. It's rare that a portrait would be able to show such emotion, but you hit it square on... hmm for a class... her looks make it seem as if she is going to specialize in Fire... so some sort of" "Flare Knight" or something similar? Certainly it would be interesting to see sword skills that weren't all Holy or Dark. I guess... Stasis Sword, kind of counts outside that circle... of course this is only my musings.

[trickstardude7]

oo nice one you're a sprite expert!

[xanien]

awesome job....that's disgustingly good (jealous)

[Zozma]

okay tell me which portrait looks better, i was trying to get that little collar she has but it might be too much. ive updated the sprite for now it has this second portrait. im not quite sure what ill stick with yet, but i know i needed to add the hair in the back. (aww she had really nice hair in gs) lol

[LastingDawn]

Normally I'd say the one that shows the neck, since it took you such a long time to get that all right, it looks. But as she is a knight it fits with her character that she would be "bundled up" so to speak.

[Sen]

From the screen shots you posted Zozma when she raises her hand the sleeves got shorter.

[Zozma]

thats one of the few things im still working on ;P her sleeves take a while cause there are so many arm animations but the origional had loose sleeves that slide down the arm when the hands are raised, but that wont be the case when im done.

[NeedsMoreNoise]

Did anyone ever think about making either an Alucard or Mog sprite? Those would be fun.

[karsten]

i like the first portrait better. anyway, awesome work on the sprite!
