Jon's Sprites

Started by Jon, December 09, 2009, 05:15:18 am

I'll help you out with placing the palettes and portraits on the sprite. Remember, the first 16 colors (the first row) are for the first palette for the sprite. The ninth row is the portrait palette that goes with the first sprite palette: this means 16 colors for the sprite, 16 for the portrait; if any of that makes sense.

I could tweak, but college just started for me fiercer than ever. Too many maquette (sp?) proyects to do, along with a test already.


I can't guarantee anything right now, not even for my own proyects.

Here is the Ramza in Delita's armor complete, however, I think it has 26 colors- 10 too many...well, either way this is probably a good base.

There ain't no gettin' offa this train we on!

jimmyjw88

Whoa....that blue is bright....tone it down. Why 10 colours exceed??? ><

Right, the other blues were better, weren't they? I guess I will use those then ;)

1. There is RamzaxDelita sprite in Knox's thread, look at it for some clues
2. Blue is faaar too saturated, you forgot to take palettes from other spr or what?
3. How the hell you have 10 more colors when it's just fuckin simple to select color of the armor and replace it, no need for adding more colors(at least in GraphicsGale)
These are my first thoughts when I look at it.

I am embarassed of those blues myself so here:


Something must have gone terribly wrong, I never added any colors >_> How did this happen?! 26 colors!!

It is impossible that it have 26 colors, you must have added some, if not that then I can redoo Delita Ch2 &3 into Ramza in ten minutes without exceeding color limits. I'm still amazed how the hell it is possible without adding a colours to exceed the limit, maybe Delita sprite has some fault with this.

Jon, a simple tip of spriting technique...well, at least that's what I do.

Always set your palettes before start to sprite. That way, you don't have to worry and get frustrated of throwing the excess of colours and losing its details.

Thanks for the advice Jim, I will be sure to keep that in mind next time. Here is the finished Holy Knight Ramza, now all we need is someone to whip up a decent portrait and this sprite will be done :)

Try giving this Ramza a chest armor and this sprite might be worthy something. Now it's just Ramza in Delita armor, zero creativity :/

Good. Well, swap Ramza's head with Delita's and voila. ^^

EDIT: I would suggest using Smash's Cavalier's armor.

It is true that this has 0% creativity, but until now I have not seen anyone actually making this / posting it so... it could be quite useful for future reference, especially if it is using Ramza / Delita. Also, so dude wrote me a while ago that he wanted to see Ramza in Delita's armor, that is why I made this, otherwise I probably wouldn't have. Hmmm, Kage you say chest armor, what kind do you have in mind? Tell me and I will try it. This is by far the easiest  full spritesheet I have ever done ;)

Jon, this guy also wrote to me, it was some newb, and this sprite will be probably used for his own purpose or lolpatch. You can try Squire's armor

Okay, Squire armor it is. Also, why didn't that guy just make it himself? This project takes about 3 hours tops anyways, I probably would have finished it yesterday but it was getting late and I wanted to watch a movie...

Kagebunji

Newbies never wan't to do sprite by themselves, I was the same when I joined :P

Also, Squire is kinda common though, try Smash's Cavalier or Zozma's masterpiece, Zozma did a bunch of sprites that wear armor

Fine, but you know what? I don't really want to waste anymore time with the Ramza in Delita's armor. If anyone wants to strap armor on him (I don't mean you now Kage) then do it yourself. This idea is so lame to begin with...
