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.

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

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

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.

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.

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...

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

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

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.

They've really been stretched too far.

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

Post by: KazeKasano on December 02, 2008, 05:17:17 pm
Indeed. That's the biggest problem I ran into while I was trying to make (it failed) Cuchulainn. That and the amount of stretching.

The current ones are 16 colors. :P

Post by: DarthPaul on December 02, 2008, 05:44:57 pm
Yes but with the multicolor i bet getting the shading and blending just right must gave been a challenge.

Post by: Zozma on December 02, 2008, 05:55:02 pm
what if you use a dither effect and then reduce the color back to 16 afterwards?

Except Zeromus, he's from scratch.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that. I always wondered why he wasn't in the game though...

Mateus and Exodus FTW. If you do finish this, it'll rock.
