Final Fantasy Hacktics

Sorry folks, hair and face only this time. Will get to the rest later. If you tell me this is Delita's hair/face, I'll send a Meteor to your house.

^Small edit on face.  [s:6m6e0enq]Now 3 unused colors.[/s:6m6e0enq] The whites now have one more subtle tone for better shading. There is only 1 unused color left.

^ Thanks for Lijj's note, I did mess up the top of his head.

^ Who's the Delita *clone" now? Balk or Cletian or what have you.

^ It is funny how I have to find a reference for something that I want to avoid, is this the new thing now? Btw, I started off using Olan as hair base, nothing else.

^ Indeed Balk and Delita has a similar hairstyle, as illustrated in Balk's Portrait.

Haha The portrait's a quick touch up copy and paste...We know all about that.  Interesting defense' and finds R999... but what's the matter with the top of original Balks head?

Fixed. See R8. Thanks Lijj.

Oh yeah, the original Balk.  It is just a mess ... the red box shows lazy work (exact same 4 rows of pixels). The blue circle shows you that the face is a giant mess. And he looks like he's balding.



Updated with fully body, R9-R13 (main post).

looking very good imo

R14 last update. This will be final (possible to switch to Brown Gloves alternative).

Winshmo did a concept art design for Balk, and it looks great.



Will play with the sprite more to see if it works better with this design. At a glance though, he's bottom half looks like Balthier.
