I take it you are doing a FFXII version of MOOGLE(not mogle :P). Please post those five frames normallly, with 3x size, it will be easier to crit it.
This is potentially a very good start! Are you doing this completely "freehand" or are you using some base?
Hiya thanks! for the input Moongle :oops:
(http://i53.tinypic.com/316nu2u.gif)here is draft but the bmp are final
taking a time to adjust the hand!
haha anyway here is BMP!
(http://i52.tinypic.com/5d3s05.jpg)add walk! ani
and potrait!
oh no base
not following base. :)
since i am an artist in game industry myself XD
here is my website :)
www.vresgame.com
Ha! 7 year experience? Impressive, I must say. Though I doubt we can hire anyone, this site is made of volunteers, but you already started working, so I doubt you want some kind of reward other than gratitude, heh. Ok, let's move to the sprite. Overall it is nice, but it is not looking too much like FFT-style. Advice number one: use existing palettes, it will make it more FFT-like right away. Next one is to keep designs simple and clean, adding too much shit will make it look crappy. Last one, try to mimic FFT style, currently I would say this moogle fits FFTA more, I am gonna test it in-game once you do some more of the sheet. Anyway, looking forward, and...
WELCOME TO FFH WHERE ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!
oh yes this is all based on FFT pallete. the red are from time mage. the white pallete are from the time mage star. and also if u mean FFTA they are sucks XD i dont play FFTA because of the pixel and color pallete. :p

here is snap in battle :p

See? This is what I mean, it looks pretty funny next to other FFT sprites. You need to follow the style more. I worked on Moogle once, but I stoped when I wanted to redoo it, let me give you BMP file. I REALLY need to redoo it...
Epic work (From both spriters)!
Keep up the good work!
whoa the pallete u are using are more like it. input accepted! :D
i will adjust mine ;)
i was following time mage white and red :p not browse another monster yet.
hahaha nice mod :D
thanks! i will change em soon

there u go! :)
Holy crap you work fast. How did you even learn how to insert a sprite so quickly let alone make it?!
Anyways you obviously have talent, wont argue that. The palette adjustment was a good one. I torn about the overall style of the sprite though. You are fitting way more detail into a smaller space then what is commonly done with FFT. It looks fantastic though, so I'm not sure if you should just move forward as is or work on making it fit in with the overall FFT style better.
I must say that you HAVE to simplify this design, like Cheetah noticed, there are many details here(mostly those yellow outlines, they are making my eyes bleed during walking). You can also redoo the ears, make them thinner, and follow Uribo's ear shading to help yourself(my Moogle also uses Uribo's ears, so you can use that as ref). Once those two things are done, it will be right on track!
This is a very amusing interaction because most of us here come to learn spriting because we love FFT, while you are just a professional spriter. You are still misspelling MOOGLE ;)
For the sprites and portraits in the formation screen you will want to use FFTEVGRP (translated by melonhead), can be found in the miscellaneous download section.
ACK and please post PNGs not JPGs, that is what makes my eyes bleed. Congratulations you have made it through most of the things we tell every new spriter in about a 10th of the time.
Thanks cheetah and kagebunji XD
well i was making the new era moggle
(http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/5/59/Ffta-m-chocoknight.jpg)
not the old one
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iFRPl9EX3Gs/S9ZTdN0oGgI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Q8F5Iru6DXE/s1600/moogle2.jpg)
so when they summon em it will suit the game. so the moogle are their spirit :p
after this i wanted to make the other like viera and banga( using minatour size)
viera still looking arround.
thanks~

Fixed but still cloth :) but much more simple ( before was armor )
tehehe
thanks~
Okay now I know you are just teasing us with your misspelling of moogle.
I am all about the new era moogle, the design is just generally cooler.
It is great to see that you are so responsive to feedback. I can give more feedback about the new design when I can actually see it. Posted as JPG it is too garbled to see anything. Try PNG.
Keep up the good work! This will be amazing.
Wow! Welcome to FFH where all of your dreams come true. especially if you have mad skills. I absolutely love your moogle that first post really impressed me. I think this moogle fits in well.
Thought maybe you'd appreciate my prorogued Sahagin from scratch:http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=5003.320 (http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=5003.320) I will finish it eventually. Gotta finish the power rangers first.
I'm guessing tinypic is making them in jpegs, just like photobucket. Try imageshack perhaps (or alternatively attach them in your post)?
I'm more of a fan of the rounder ears rather than the new spiky/furry ears you made.
Maybe you could make it so the moogle's colours are a bit creamier like in the portrait you made?
Great progress in your sprite.
whoa thanks guys.
@cheetah -- i though i speeling it right now moogle moogle moogle?? hehe
@pride -- Thanks!
@Lijj -- thansk! i will chek it! :D ermm just go ther lots of image frog that i cannot see since i am not registered >.< just check ur video.. looks awesome XD
@twinness -- ola there!! yes i was uploading BMP though. ijust twist the color since kagebunji give some input pallete. :D
anyway here is the BMP!
from front only
-able to cast
-use item
i upload it to my website
(http://www.vresgame.com/FFH/mog%20(2).bmp)
here u go real BMP
after checking a while.. i found problems!!!
the moggle if go to water.. u will only see the ears XDDDD
dang. if somebody could program it to take other place sprite i can make the moogle flying.
what i need later is a modder who is advance already
but not playing with all char that already there just that adding the new char with what they want
example
moogle swordman
moogle archer.
etc2
You could just give whatever job the sprite's going to use Cannot Enter Water as an innate ability. That way you wouldn't have to deal with water at all. :P
Hi and welcome !
In only 8 post, you showed quite a lot of quality stuffs !
The Portrait is particularly awesome.
Also, if you made everything from scratch you have a very good animation and observation skills.
As people say before, the only problem that i saw with this sprite is the fact that it was a little bit too detailed.
But you corrected that right ?
Mai we see the walking animation and inGame implementation with your adjustment ?
hi the bmp that i just uploaded was the latest one.
it include
-got hit
-Use item
-casting
since they are in sheet its takes time to stich em together again.
for the animation at the first i made em together. but the sheet need to seperated stuff. so the final was on the BMP that i just upload em :D.
u can maybe test em with shishi stuff and check the animation.
i simplyfy the cloth etc.
here is prev again with zoom but its skretch
(http://www.vresgame.com/FFH/snap.gif)
I like it way more now. It is not soo flashy, and looks ok. What is that white thing below his head though? I can't tell what it is.
As to the hseet, I advise you look at some human sprites, as you saw earlier, nothing showed up when you entered water, that is because sprite has separate frames for in-water animations. Look at any human sprite in ShiShi, view through it, and you will se those frames sooner or later. Also, on first singing pose, his legs are visible, they shouldn't be. It will cause you problem as you advance further with the sheet, since singing combines legs from casting animation and its singing frame itself. Beware of such multiple-parted frames, cause it migjht fuck up your sheet.
ah i understand that. i though that the water will just get the ears only. but proble solve muahaha now able to walk on water etc :D still dev on it :D
this is much more fun than my work >.<
dang i got a lots of deadline. this pixeling was more fun.. XDD
You are using ShiShi to insert the sprite right? That program also has animated previews, that should make it easier for you to test what the animations will look like.
The simplifications are doing wonders, looking awesome. Posting the BMP and spelling Moogle correctly is even better ;).
There are a lot of fixes for the water thing, so I wouldn't worry about it. In fact only having the ears stick out would be hilarious and we can just make it so moogles can't act in water. Keep up the great work!
I fixed the Moogle!!! in tittle thread Muahahahah!!!!
lol
XD
i forgot my work because of this mod..
thanks again!
I will be looking forward for more.
Just leaving this here.

Very nice start to a modern Moogle. Can't wait to see it finished. Do you intend to do any more FFTA-inspired Sprites? They actually look good when translated to FFT properly.
Oh, and Kagebunji, what's wrong with that ye olde Moogle you posted? It looked complete unless I'm missing something and I'd rather like to use it.
It is finished, actually. I just want to rework it, so it will look less like Pig, and more like Moogle(shorter ears, different eyes if I will somehow manage to do it, smaller nose, and maybe I will add fur on his chest). Feel free to use the current version though.
come back, vresu! finish your moogle please!
Ain't gonna happen. You can always go to his site and look if he is alive.
Uh oh sorry for just gone suddenly. i am busy with searching money. >.< i am in urgent. and currently got a lots of stuff to do beside modding. i realy wanted to finish it but just that i dont have anymore time with freelance and full time work.
if there anybody wanted to help it will be great. i think i need a help for seperate em and cut em and make it become sheets file. if somebody would. i can make the sprite fast. but seperated em one by one and hand and check the position are taking a lots of time.
you can also check my current project game. so hope u understand. if somebody wanted to help me let me know. PM will do.
thanks

Very fluid animations you have there, very cool. I'm sure someone should be able to help you out. The spriting is the hard part, but custom arms are particularly hard because of all the testing needed to get them to look right. If you could separate out the arms somehow that might be helpful, especially in the long run for later attack animations.
Hi there, well whatever u receive from me are a seperated layer which contain upper hand and lower hand and leg. and yes the taking time is separate the layer and arrange em rather than making em.
No matter if you will do or won't do sprites here, I am happy you are here. I even went to your site to ask what happened, heh. Take your time and finish your assignment, just make sure to visit once once in a while, heh.
oh i cee XD though u were chasing me for the sprite. yea i dont have anytime for even play yet. was just enter to some company. and really sleepy at work since a lots of work even after home.....
argh if only i am rich XDDD also i just check my web. it was not touched for a while and no update there too. so better email XD haha thanks
