Several patches need new sprites and I propose everyone pitch in and make concept sprites like these from one or two angles. They don't take long at all (cut/copy and paste are your friends) and we could churn out huge numbers of them in no time.
Also looking for suggestions on what type of body should go with my mini behemoth head. Orlandu is just a placeholder.

whatever you pick for the behemoth head, make sure it ends up with a hood / cloak
olan and/or king delita come to mind...
he has that alien traveler look

Good idea. I'll choose a red hood to represent the DB's hair. Also, here are 2 more concepts.
Malboro is disguised
(http://s426.photobucket.com/albums/pp347/Asmoad/th_spgross.png)
2nd palette for birdman. Voldemort's request.

Heheh. Amusing Malboro. You could probably do really well mimicking the crowns from FFXII.
Rather than using that behemoth head for an alien traveler, why not try a Tonberry? The facial structure and brown hood reminds me of them. It would take more thorough editting, but I'm sure I'm not the only one that would think having Tonberries would be awesome. (Unless there's work on tonberries I am not aware of. That's quite possible.)

It certainly should look meaner if it's going to be a behemoth.
Also, I need a body for the eyeball dude. The mime body is just a placeholder. Just seeing how the ahriman head would fit on to a normal sprite body

I'm a huge fan of the summoner/black mage sprite as well. My only suggestion would be to use Elbidis's hat instead to make it more unique.

I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal about that BM/Summoner. It took 10 minutes. The shoulder armour for the birdman (diagonal) alone is a far bigger accomplishment.

That may be so, but I think the black mage looks the coolest. I'm no mind reader, but it's probably the same reason for the others.

The black mage is just a really great application of color.
Very striking.
I like them all though!
The female in green in the first post kinda makes me think of Crystal Chronicles. Perhaps if you make her shorter, and add in some other things, you could have a really good looking Clavat female.
Edit: Dolphin.

yeah not bad. Good palette in particular. I'd actually suggest using Olan's body to go under the red scarf thing. It would look like a good bandit-type character then. I might have a crack at it myself actually

Touch up the wizard dude and you have the beginnings of a necromancer or lich. Could mimic the Necromancer job from the FFIV remake and add it to one of the patches.

Asmo, I'm going to get to work later today to try and finish some of these sprites, giving you a fair amount of credit for the frames and concept for the look of the sprite.
I'll be finishing the Wizard/Summoner for sure. (They will probably be finished in a few days.)
Also, your second palette for the Wizard/Summoner was ok, but I would suggest changing the trimming color to silver instead of keeping it gold. I suppose it would kind of depend on how many colors are already being used though.

Cool. I'd love to see it put use in one of these mods =)
I think he appears in FFT:Mercenaries? He's in a screenshot..
Also, I used your last portrait but changed the left part of his hair. It falls right in a straight line.. and doesn't look too natural IMO, so I made it a little more curve as you can see. It's the part where his hair goes up, before falling straight (to the left on my portrait).

Nice assassin smash.
I like how it looks more like a ninja than normal female ninjas...
seriously, male ninjas look stealthy(although they are blue) and look secretive(covering their face)... female ninjas look like female thieves in red and have longer hair... nothing really ninja looking about them.

Shit
I was all inspired about making a horse till I saw it for the first time.
And an idea, maybe shortening the wings like those chocobos in 12 would allow a saddle to become a bit visible, since the current ones are too big.

This is Final Fantasy, there are no horses in Final Fantasy. Giant chickens are much better.
Even just reins and those awesome head guards from the intro video would be awesome to see on a chocobo.

sick absolutely sick
do you spriters agree that putting up concepts and THEN completing concepts that people really love / will see use is a good idea?
I mean it'd save alot of work, and the sprite itself is there for the designer to see, even if it doesn't get all it's other frames done

it is supposed to be that way on the legs, but for the rest of the body i agree the shading is below par, it is a rough copy from a mediocre spriter

Yeah but those highlights still wrap around the leg. You have to show some different shading because of that. I know it's probably hard as fuck- I get stuck on one part for ages sometimes- but making it the same shade of pink all over the leg like that just isn't going to translate.

Quote from: "Voldemort"do you spriters agree that putting up concepts and THEN completing concepts that people really love / will see use is a good idea?
I mean it'd save alot of work, and the sprite itself is there for the designer to see, even if it doesn't get all it's other frames done
Yeah this is what I'm getting at. Everyone fixated on the Warder for months and months and in that time we could have at least thrown some concepts around for other jobs. Even if they don't get their own spritesheets right away you could at least finalise a general design for some other classes/NPCs

Another thing I think Id needs is poofier hair. That looks like it is just normal long hair instead of the SSJ3 kind of huge hair.

Asura is a Very interesting concept! While a normal sprite would work for her, I think that a Monster sprite type would definitely do her more justice on those terms (with the sp2 you can even have the spinning faces)

Asmo x, what was the intent behind that? It makes me think of a noble pretty-boy. If that was your goal, then great job. The foot on his left looks blocky on the smaller version though. Perhaps shaving a pixel or two?

Yeah Zodiac said something about the feet too. Thing is, they are straight copy/pasted from Zalbag. I haven't done anything to them. I think I will move some pixels around to get rid of that blockiness though.

I don't see the problem with a generically stylized sprite for an extremely generic and overdone class.

Here's a quick change I made using colors from your superhero sprite just to see how the skin would look with blue-ish hair. I like it. The skin I mean. You could probably do a much better job than me on the hair.

The closest to that would be making the chocobo sprite with the rider as one, and using the sheet of another monster other than the chocobo itself.(more space to become possible, but a hell less poses) Yet, this would make the sprite limited to just one or two attacking animations, no weapons or anything of the like, only a single type of person on it, and just plain pathetic overall.
An armored chocobo has more chances of becoming possible, only very very slightly.
See the chocobo sheet, then you'll understand.

Wow...This look promising.
I really like the pattern you made for her robe / skirt / whatever it is ^^
But Asmo, is her right hand abit too erm....how to say...slant (i'm not sure if it is the right word)
Her right hand should be straight a little bit, don't you think? ^^

i agree with arch.
fighting bahamut would be amazing.
i personally would try to not to make him look like the dragons already in the game. they are kinda pathetic and they can't fly.
actually fighting all the summons would be interesting. instead of trying to blue mage learn zodiark, why not whoop his ass to recruit. the same with odin and a few others.

Oh, for the bahamut, now that ehrgeiz mentioned about flying, is it possible to make it fly?
Like black chocobo...
If its possible, it would be awesome, but of course, not using current dragon.
Use Smash, going to remake dragon ^^

Hydras might be the way to go for a Bahamut foundation. The trick would be to not make him look as scrunched as they do.
I like the latest sprite, Asmo. Sleeves could be fixed a bit as others have said, but it has an overall good look to it.
Quotefight summon and learn the skill..? wowI'm not sure what they're plans are, but you can do this by placing them in side quests, giving the appropriate Katana as a reward, and turning the Draw Out skills into summon spells with 0% chance of breaking the item. You'd be stuck with only ten, but that's enough for one of each element, a non-element, and a healing. I've been considering doing exactly that at some point and making it so that the player has a hard time choosing whether to equip and use the weapons or to be able to use the summon spell.

Hmm, my plan for this was actually a bit different. Granted a bit more complex, almost no way this would work or fit into a vanilla game...
Using our knowledge of battle events turning a few of them into "when X dies then Y happens" In this case when... Shiva is defeated for instance, she gives a line, then fades away, leaving behind a crystal with only Shiva in it, this is accomplished quite easily. When the event occurs you switch out the real Shiva for a fake Shiva, that only had the skill Shiva learned in her skillset. To assure the battle doesn't end. You set a certain unit which can't attack, always has Death Sentence, but immune to dead, with a unique skill that transforms a "seal" into a Crystal. Now the Seal wouldn't have anything in it, since it's not really much of a unit. If you choose to destroy the seal before receiving the summon, then that's not the maker's fault on that regard.

Ah. That's an intriguing approach. I still favor mine because the player has to choose which they'd rather be able to use, but yours certainly has a lot of merit. Hrm... additionally you could fit all summons (except Midgarsormr, if you count that) into yours while my method would only fit ten. I can only think of one drawback to yours. Unless they are blue magic of some sort, you'd be limited to just a few summoners or even using it only as a special job. But... I would lean towards the traditional special character summoner rather than a generic anyways.

No, hehe. Far from it, it would need to be an actual event put in, which in itself isn't too difficult, though it would probably replace the cutscenes. The item idea is probably better, if you use the "Spell Cards" similar to FF4's rare summons. The idea I have is more similar to FF5.

Smash brings up a good point--a lot of these summons should be monster-sized, as opposed to human-sized. It might be more challenging spriting-wise, but it would be more appropriate for fighting purposes.
