Kaze from FFU Progress

[Asmo X]

That's looking a lot better.

[jimmyjw88]

Ok.
Also, is the gray dark enough? Like you suggested for darker colors, Asmo.

[Asmo X]

no no i meant darker colours in the area where the legs start to disappear under the cloak. Thats too dark all over. You also only really have 2 tones for shading. Maybe take a pair of legs/boots from another sprite, shading and all. And then substitute its colours.

[jimmyjw88]

Oh...so should I change back to the previous lighter gray?
Basically I'm picking up the colors for the legs.
I haven't really progress on the legs ^^

[Asmo X]

yeah make the main areas of the legs a bit lighter again. Also, look at more legs to see how they're shaded. Even though they all look different, there's kind of a method to the way they're shaded. Just takes some practice.

[KazeKasano]

What Asmo said is correct.

Great job though! This is improving at a pretty constant rate! Much better than I could've done.

[jimmyjw88]

Thanks.
Well, I just make abit changes. It's still your base sprite work. ^^

UPDATE*
Magun / Gun holster
I feel it looks bit funny and weird due to the colors and its way low of his legs.
If try place it under his waist, its not visible due to his cloak.
So, any suggestions? ^^

[jimmyjw88]

UPDATE*
Kaze animation
How is it?

EDIT: Also, how do you make the background transparent, using GIMP or Graphicgale?
Want to make my cless animation background transparent. ^^

[KazeKasano]

To simulate the Magun, use the color from the holster on the far arm only.
Also, the hair animation is great the only thing I can suggest is to also animate the hair on the closer side of the sprite.

Very impressed with the animation! I really didn't think anyone would pick this up ever, so thank you!

[jimmyjw88]

Thanks so much, Kaze ^^
Still, its your sprite that did all the work. If you hadn't make this, I wouldn't be able to make the current progress ^^
So, it is I, who should thank you.
Ok, I'll try make the hair animated of what you suggested.
Also, for the holster, by far arm, you mean on hand?
And color for the holster would be abit of problem.
I only have a dark brown and some face colors to use for the holster.

[KazeKasano]

I can't really find a good reference picture yet... I was referring to the colors on the holster being used for the far arm.

Edit: Good reference pic at last: http://www.ffcompendium.com/chara/u-kaze2.jpg

[jimmyjw88]

Oh...so meaning use the color(gold) from the picture?
Also, where should I place the holster?

[jimmyjw88]

UPDATE*
Kaze animation.
I animate the hair closer to the sprite.
Is it ok? Or still need more animate?

[LastingDawn]

This sprite is really starting to look incredible! Looks good!

[Zozma]

i like it as well, honestly i didn't expect it to turn out so good

[SilvasRuin]

Now I really want to see this sprite in use in an actual game.  It's looking good.

[jimmyjw88]

Thanks for the supports guys ^^
Really appreciate it.
I will try to finish this sprite after my finals ^^

[KazeKasano]

Looking great!
The animation is alot better, as well.

[jimmyjw88]

Hey guys, now that my exam is over, I guess I can continue Kaze ^^
But before that, here is sample of Auron remake that I've come up.



Although it still need alot of work to make it perfect, but it is the sample for now ^^

What do you think?

[Zozma]

k... borrow a red from an existing fft sprite
