Lijj's Sprites

[Mando]

When you get the chance lijj, can you fix this portrait? I don't see it on your FTP or anything as one you have fixed. As you can tell upon close inspection, you shared some of the color portions with the hair/eyebrows. This causes various color palettes to create undesired effects, but I am sure you are aware of this now because this was one of the starting ports you did

I changed up the colors I think it looks best this way, with just a small part of the color changing (doesn't look so blobish then)

[Zozma]

something bothers me about the portrait, it still seems a bit rough somehow...

[Lijj]

Yeah, I'll get it next so that the male can have it's counterpart ready. I'll fully redo the portrait from scratch.

[Lijj]

Remaking the Female rogue's portrait. Hair colors will be limited in the other palettes unless one can see a way to decently free up two colors. one would be easy to free up being that the darkest shade of the red is unnecessary.

[mav]

Right now the shading looks a little flat. So yeah, drop the darkest red shade and add another hair color. Go ahead and add a little more shade to the bandanna too--you have three shades there, just distribute them so more. It's just blowing my mind that with one color for the background, one for the eyes, three for the bandanna, and three for the clothes, that there still isn't enough for the hair and skin. Whatever, just one more hair color should help out a lot.

[Lijj]

Mav thanks for the suggestions..
I killed the darkest red and a skin tone.
What do you think of this paletting?:

[Kagebunji]

Hmm, other thing I wondered of, how about you try different eyebrows for her? She is a Rogue, so a pissed off/nasty/alluring look might work, pick your poison. Right now she has the generic eyes, which is good, but her class in itself requires different eyes. Just my two cents, I'm not saying current ones are bad, just thought of adding some spice to her.

[Lijj]

Not a bad idea at all. It would better match the male...

Working on a gif compilation of those rangers right now heheh... puting all of them into 1 big 8 frame gif so I'll get to fiddling later.

[3lric]

Nicely done Lijj a huge improvement

[Mando]

Oh I like the update so far lijj! Great work, the eye brow thing is a good suggestion as it would give the female a bit of zaz.

[Lijj]

Thanks guys. I gave her more zaz
I also updated the male again to give him a more masculine face as RavenofRazgriz privately suggested to me. (So Mando you may want to update your avi)

[RavenOfRazgriz]

Looks good.  Just one question:

What the hell happened to the female Rogue's cape/clothing in the Nanten palette?

The new portraits are looking pretty great now, I think.

[Lijj]

What do you mean? R999's sprites aren't perfect if it's what I suspect

Here's Nanten w/ more highlight. (I did use colors straight from a nanten thief in first post)

[RavenOfRazgriz]

That's looking much better now, Mr. Lijj.

[Zozma]

that portrait is much better, the bang was annoying me before as one of the main points

[mav]

I feel like the mask on the male's portrait is a pixel or two too low, I can post a suggest fix, if you don't mind. Have you considered other hair and skin colors for either of the sprites? They look pretty great either way.

[Lijj]

I wouldn't mind at all. They do have varying hair colors but not skin.
I just realized I posted the female with the minor palette mistake.. I'll post an update later.. it's just 4 pixels or so at the bottome of the bandanna. I've already fixed it; just got the files mixed up and I'm busy today.

[mav]

Oh, I just noticed your palettes are varied in skin and whatnot. Very nice. Anyways, I've attached a crude mask redesign. Your call on what to do.

[Lijj]

 I'll use it. Thanks Mav.
I'll also attack the banded pixel I just noticed on his right shoulder.

[Zozma]

I think thats worth using as a generic assassin
