Final Fantasy Hacktics

Ok, I just rearrange the Leon that someone created and posted in the session japanese spriting by BaitySM, I switched to 16 colors.

Tested it in shishi to see if its aligned properly? and it looks like half the sheet is missing.

I'm not too sure about the overly white dots in the front view, front side view, and back views, it kind of stands out.

FInishing this would be great, but half the sheet is missing. Who do we think the arms are  based off of?

Looks kinda like Female Squire, or um.. i cant think of the name.

They might actually be Gafs.

looks like gaf to me as well

Fur, so Gaff; unless they took the trouble to add the fur on each of the arms.

Yes, I think it is Gaffy too. Just some minor edits were made(removing the spikes for example).

Ok, first try using Gaffy as a basis.

like knox said, those dots on his belt need to be fixed, you could either get rid of them, or make them a darker shade so they dont stand out as much. Also the singing/spell casting animation looks odd, it looks like he has a beard.
Have the arms been completed? in the bottom half of the sheet? while the body and head still remain incomplete?
if so, you dont have much way to go to finish this, good luck.
ps. use Seushiro's portrait of Squall, it is the bomb.

No, looks like knox don't know the design of Squall. Those dots are part of his belt, and without it, it looks worse. I see you inserted the bottom half of sprite, but it is just a recolored Gaffy, work on it and it will be good, hope you will make it, Chronos.

Hey now, I said they stood out, i didnt say get rid of them. It just needed to be darkened a little bit, maybe made silverish, not removed.

The color that was on the belt, is the same as the eyes, if I darken, eyes will be dark too.

So I spent a whole bunch of time looking at all the sprites and I don't know how they made these arms. They aren't just slightly edited Gaffy and the aren't purely any other arms just with Gaffy's arm fur. So we need to do some testing to see how the current ones are working right now before we start making the attack animation ones. If nothing else so that we are sure we are using the correct sprite type.

There are many solutions to the white dots on the belts, definitely not a priority right now when he doesn't even have attack animations or arms we know work.

I checked those today, and as you expect, there are problems. It is sprite type 1, however it looks like it is disconnected durong walk. So I changed it to type 2, it looked even worse though. This sprite is a mess to be honest, I dunno how they did those arms.

Then we can replace these arms, for example, the arms of gaffy.

Okay I'm making some progress on this. I have decided to use Mustadio as a base for the arms and it is looking good. I think they will all just need to be redone. Getting the fur added in and looking good will be tough though. I'm planning on finishing up a base pretty soon and then leaving it to others to complete.

Looking forward, Sir Cheetah. But are Gafgarions' arms not good? Because adding the fur to all the arms will be tedious work.

The fur lining is different sizes anyways. Plus making the arms slimmer would likely be more trouble.

This is all ready to be put into ShiShi for some previewing. I think that most everything is in the correct place. Obviously all the arms need fur added to them. That will likely be the hardest part. Then there are all the attack animations. Still a long ways to go, but this is a better start than doing it from scrap. I'm not liking the hair on the sprite that much though, especially the rear view.

Looking good. Hair looks okay but perhaps some touch ups.
Great job.

where's the finished .spr?

hey thats a good version of squall, please be sure to use the already well-made portrait for him unless you're like smash that is lol

I see you're using Mustadio as a base. Good choice, I did the same once, but my Squall didn't look half as good as yours. Finish this great sprite! Nice work btw!

I see this squall as like pretty much a very well done fft version of his original one.
you sir have some good skills
adding 2 cents his hair is legit to ff8 serie, the dots on the belts i think they suposed to be the bullets he normally have.

This project definitely needs to be picked up. I am officially done with all that I planned on doing with this. It has a basic sheet and a palette. Custom work on the arms wont be that hard because it is just adding fluff to the shoulders and gaff should be a decent base. I would like to see some new hair on him. There are several portraits to choose from.

Fur.. on his arms? I remember no fur there..From what I see, it only needs a portrait? The hair matches well already.. [attachment=0:3qzeuyb4]ff8-squall6_1.jpg[/attachment:3qzeuyb4]

he is so awesome... "i dreamed i was an idiot"

If you look at the first post of the sprite you can see where the fur appears on the shoulders, which are part of the arms. It could be made a little smaller, but assuming there will still be a bit of fur on the arm frames.

Ahh I understand now. When I read "fur on his arms" I envisioned on his forearm area. My mistake. I must be suffering from lack of sleep, I've been kinda slow today.

This is pretty much ready to go, we just need someone to make a portrait I think.  I would do it myself if I could, but I do not have that kind of artistic talent or experience, sadly. 

I don't know much about spriting for this game, but I do think this Squall looks really amazing. It'd be great in-game. Is it still being worked on?

Hmm... what about Seushiro's Squall portrait? That was pretty good, maybe a few changes to that, only if anyone has it though? =/

Is this available anywhere?

Well, I do have an unfinish Squall port lying around somewhere though.

-> New user in rare display of new user competence uses Search function, finds thread pertaining to something he/she wants info on, asks for said info in relevant thread where a noticeable chunk of work on that something is on display.

-> Gets reply of "sprite request thread at the top. herpity derpity" for doing the thing he/she is always encouraged to do before spamming around unnecessary making unnecessary posts/threads and posting in the area he/she is most likely to get what he/she needs instead of a thread clearly marked "RARELY FULFILLED."

Would you like some Derped Cream to go with your Herppelberry Pie?  -_-

Is there a reason I can't just use photoshop to re-size this image over the placeholder portrait?

^^ Or is there something else that needs doing which I'm missing?

Well, you could if you want to.

Jimmy, could you post your Squall WIP portrait? I would like to see it. The best attempt I can remember so far was Seushiro's, I should have it on the other computer with other old files.

Yea, sure thing.
Squall WIP

This is good; only the mouth seems a bit sideways. The hair is looking very well done so far though.
