I wanted to do something similar to the generic Viera assassins from FFTA, but for female humans. This is one of my very first sprites for FFT so please bear with me. Suggestions and constructive criticism will be appreciated.

Bah! I have a thread for concepts below.
Anyway, you'll need to be a little more liberal with the shading on the cape. Never make a piece of clothing pitch black. If you want something to be black, you have to use shades of gray.
Well it's not actually pitch-black (as in R=0, G=0, B=0), but I get your point, I'll go for a lighter shade of purple.
there was already an assassin based off Valmafra in an earlier thread...see if you can start using that as a base....like asmo said...make sure you have a lighter color for the mask and fix the shadings on the cape...other than that it looks good so far!
