I'm not a big fan of the green for the armor, makes him look like a lizard. If the cape could be a different from the hair it would be much more likable as well.

Nice name. I like the concept. Gevaerd rhymes with lizard!
Well, it's up to you. That's your preference.

I think the palette is pretty cool. something a bit different. Good job fitting the cape to the sprite. No seams. Much like Kage: You are on the right track

Thanks,so I will keep the pallete,I took a lot of time to think about it and it have a nice story,so I will tell
I was messing with the evtchr editor and I found Dorter 2 evtchr,it features the hatless thief and vormav and the thief was the active pallete for the view and vormav looked so sweet with that pallete,so I picked it,since it was original

Try Voldemort's suggestion--though we don't see many strangely colored armors, that doesn't mean they don't exist. Orlandu wears purple, for whatever reason.
The sprite itself is pretty nice. I don't think the hair and cloth should match so closely, but I think you'll have it taken care of shortly.

I wont changing the green,I tried out a darker green and didnt look good,unless I change the whole pallete
I will keep the skin and cloth colors,but Im still looking for a hair color,not white,black,brown(it will look like Balk) or manga color,I wanted a blondish but not yellow color,but the skin,hair and cloth looks very alike creating a very monochromatic sprite and Im still looking for a good color
EDIT:Yeah,after a lot hair tests,the actual is the one that fit the best with the clothes/armor.So I will work with this one
Im requesting a portrait for him,just something note: he is a young guy(20yo) and pls dont make it look like Balk

Do the portrait the same way you did the sprite: copy/paste.

This looks promising. Yeah. Like Mike said, don't change the green. Rarely see green armor.
Hair...blondish, not yellow...Hmm...maybe rip the blondes from existing sprite but make it a little light?
I know that creating own palettes won't do but the existing sprites' blonde are yellowish.

I mean, he looks like a good gentleman ^^

Also, note that these aren't all the portraits of FFTs. Some original portraits from FFTs and some custome sprites' portraits.
But, I'll compiled all existing portraits of FFT as they are amazing and very useful for reference.

The prisoner that calls out Minister Gelwan during that one scene...yeah. Actually the avatar database at this board is probably missing a couple from the actual game as well...
Oh and I'll take another look at the mouth for the portrait I posted earlier. While a smile may not work, he could probably use something different than his base.

It could work out pretty decently. The green now isn't bad at all though, so it's all about preference.

That isnt going to work. That lancer has a billion different shades for the armour. Bloodthirster's has 3. Have you guys ever taken a close look at the "armour" in the game? With a few exceptions it just doesn't shine like armour and this includes all the green parts on bloodthirster's sprite which are from the knight.

Borrowing certain greens may result in him looking like he's glowing, or that there's no shine, or some other nonsense. I was thinking about the palette more from, "how would this shade of green look on this sprite" and figured, it might work out. Though from a technical standpoint, it may or may not.
And yes, fix those shoulders. Though the problem is likely due to the fact that the original Knight's forward-facing sprite looks terrible.

Quote from: "Bloodthirster0"just a quick question,does the black from the background count as one the 16 colors?You bet. Also, you're gonna need to re-shade the shoulders on the forward-facing sprite. Whoever designed the original knight really mucked up on it. It's too light, look at the Skeletons to see it done right.

I re-shaded the front view based on nothing,idk if its good,but I dont looks plain anymore
EDIT: The sprite its like 80% complete,and those missing 20% are the parts of the sprite that I fail epicly and really need someone do it
Sprite parts:
Body - Balk
Face - 20Yo Man
Cape - Knight

I like it over all, but I don't quite like the hair. It reminds me too much of the original character.
I'd try to make the hair match the portrait more.

I fucked around with the front view. Shoulders, chin, waist area.

yeah, Asmo's version for the front sprite is better.
Oh btw, the part in the middle isn't hard to make. It's just the 'on-water' sprites. They are based on the walking sprites.
Oh, try Delita's hair!
Do you mind if I work on it?
Here:
(added Asmo's edit, added mav's portrait)
It's almost finished,
you just need to,
-test the animations
-recolor the head
-fix the on-water dead sprite
-edit minor details
oh btw, you might want to reinsert the portrait again, if you recolor the head. To prevent further problems. It's on 29 colors.

I think the sprite itself may have 20 colors...Gimme some time and I can probably reduce the sprite (if it does indeed have too many colors) and I'll insert the portrait and check it on Shishi.
EDIT: Alright, looking at it, I see a couple problems: a couple of the sprites still have Balk's hair color. These are the singing animations, the damaging-taking sprites, the dying sprites, and the dead sprites. Wait...it's all the sprites that aren't in the first three rows: they all have the wrong hair color. Fix that quickly.
Also on the far right (our right) the third sprite from the bottom is apparently too high. This causes the head to disconnect from the body for a short while. It's hilarious, but wrong.
I'll let you take care of these things, Bloodthirster0, since it'll help you out as a spriter.

only needing a fix on the water dead,face type and hair color.
I always disliked Balk faces,it looks like an angry bear "Grr,Who stole my honey!?"

Hah! He looks just like me. :>
And great progress on your sprite; I've attached some images that should highlight the problem with the floating head. I also notice that the sprite may be sharing a color with the portrait, if this is the case, it may need one of the colors to be replaced (I suggest the portrait, since you should be able to give any color any value and it'll work fine).

I cant set that head properly,looks like its always wrong,I got rid of this small color problem by erasing the portrait for a while and re-setting the pallete
I also found some other problems.
Animations:58(spell casting mini face),72(critical mini face),129(Idk why it looks buggy),from 133 to 181 looks weird,some water walking/riding animation has leftovers from the sprite below

If you read my post, then you should have got ridden of some problems earlier.
And yes, the problems are the animations, so you just have to "move" some sprites.
It might take time, but it's simple to do.
IMO, don't use the latest SHISHI for testing.
Use the last version before it.
