Final Fantasy Hacktics

Alright, thanks a lot! It really does look better!
Gotta see how to fix the blond portrait now, also going to attempt "importing" a monster sprite from another game... and then to finish Fiona and actually make a shirtless spritesheet for the blond guy. XD Easier said than done, but... ah.

Again, thanks for the help Mr. Kage!

Hm, well... that confirms my doubts about the portrait, which is good in the end since now i'm certain it sucks. XD
I tried looking for shirtless sprites, but i found none so i left the body as untouched(pun? D:) as i could. I wanted the eyes to be a bluish white, but i guess i still can't afford such luxuries .-. Also wanted to add a goatee(for which i couldn't find references either) but it doesn't really work when the face uses pretty much the same shades. As expected, frankenspriting gets harder the more parts you use; with this one i ended up with so many stray pixels and shading loose ends that i had to improvise... and failed.

Also, no input on the last spritesheet edit? Maybe there wasn't enough of a change, or something? What would you do, or rather, could you make it look better, Mr. Kage? Please?

I'm not really sure what exactly the mole-like thing was, but i did notice some stray pixels. Hopefully this looks better-

Edit: Added an attempt at a portrait. I'm sure there must be like... eight hundred things wrong but i have to start somewhere, hm?

-shrug- I did try to use pre-existing stuff as much as i could, but it just won't work without the purple. >_> I really wanna make it work, though i'm not sure exactly which is the right approach.

Yeah... dammit, first Fiona's hair was too bland without much difference between shades, now this one's the exact opposite XD
I'll keep trying to balance it out.

Edit: Tried to make it blend together.

-shrug- I ran Meliadoul's hair through a hue change, i figured it'd be a good thing, but apparently it wasn't? .-.
As for the portrait, for the spritesheet i used the former one, just wanted to see if it'd look good somehow. :p

P.S: I'd really appreciate some help with the shading. It's supposed to be light purple, but i'm not sure how light to make it to avoid "blinding" properties, nor how to keep it... light purple, alongside the shading problem itself. .-.

Hehe ^^

Well! It took me a while, but i finished... i think! Here's the complete(?) spritesheet:

Hello~ Trying this out, couldn't modify my HG-Fiona topic OTL So yeah, i'll be posting my attempts at spriting here... critics appreciated!

First off, an OC! Borrowed the Meliadoul Unveiled portrait and head/hair cause they're awesome, and stuck them over Lijj's Female W.M. sprite. It came out like this:

Edit: Tried to improve the portrait, hopefully it went well? Left is before, right is after~

It's a little late, but i waltzed past this without noticing... .-. My apologies. Well, i've been lurking for a while actually, joined out of inspiration by the spriters here in general. .///. Ahem, i'm a spriter in-training(or so i'd like to think), it's nice to be here!

@Kagebunji: Alrighty, i stole the hair from Ovelia, so i might as well steal the whites while i'm at it. XD
@Mr.Strife: Ack, yeah... i got the brown off hair shades, i guess once i limited palette to 16 colors some things didn't switch well. >_>

Edited for palette update (two whites(grays?)), though i couldn't find a portrait with a similar shading to use as reference and so the shirt just looks awkwardly gray now.
I couldn't add the choker, either... i figured using Ovelia's collar and changing the grays to browns would work, but i just made it look weird.

Also, the gray/dark brown pixels to the right of her neck look a bit awkward to me, but i might just be looking at it from the wrong side. .-.

Yup, it's 16 colors! I also tried limiting the spritesheet palette to 16 colors, now it looks like this:

That's... really, that's a lot easier than trying to fix it without knowing what was wrong (or right) with it. >_> Least now i know what to do!

(Edit: Here's what i came up with. .-. For the blues i used the M-Chemist's sprite.)

Hm, here's how it came out...

Kinda like this?

@Mr. Strife: D'oh, thanks a lot. Guess i didn't look EVERYwhere i should've, sorry. ._.
@Lijj: Thanks for the observation, i'll see what i can do!

@formerdeathcorps: Oh, she does have a ponytail, which is why i chose that sprite... as for the portrait, i haven't figured out how to edit it properly.
@General Strife: Really? I was kinda aiming for "white-blonde", but hm...

So yeah... i'm new here, hey!
I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, but eh... i tripped over lots of broken links. So lemme apologize beforehand, if anything.

Well! This is a little edit using the Generic Female Thief spritesheet from Ran Master 27 as a base. It's (Or it's supposed to be) Fiona Belli from Haunting Ground, and it's my first attempt at sprite editing, so i apologize if it's too crappy. >_>

Edited cause the image was too big, also ": x" makes for "mad"? Interesting...
