@Vampdragonlord - yeah, I gotta admit; I only dropped shade of orange and it did wonders to fix the color- she's still a bit bright for your average FFT sprite, but no brighter than the behemoth I guess. Good suggestion though, she looks a lot better.

Alrighty, dropped the colors down to 16 exactly (tough to do without losing the integrity of the original image, but hey, I like a challenge)

Went with the tiger theme all around, dropped the 14 different shades of black in favor of 5 o.o and decided to drop the pink and gold as well (silver bracelets/belt using the wings)

Unfortunatley, due to the tiger stripe pattern continuing on the face, I lost the eyes, so she gets the stereotypical cop-out "glowing demon eyes"; ah well.

Hah, good stuff! That heart is freakin' intense. Good job, Ton.

I foresee some very interesting sprites being submitted for this contest. I can't wait.

VampragonLord

i was really just telling him to drop it to the color limit (since its a FFT competition, not a spriting in general competition)

Colors are still a bit too bright for FFT style, but much better anyway.

@VampragonLord - Don't worry, I was genuinely thanking you for your input, she looks a lot better now. I dropped the color tone a little more to a bit of a dusty orange, and you're right, it makes a world of difference (I put her on a FFT map to color test and I was appalled at how insanely bright the colors were)

@mav - You like the heart? It turned out a lot better than I had expected. It stands out a little more on the original version (yellow fur) but it looks better on the black fur, I think.

Research! Research!

I suggest starting with one theme and then adapting it to the other. For example, you could do a guy in one of those dragon suits and then give him Valentine colors and accessories. Or the other way around; make a cupid lookin' character and then put him in a kung-fu suit.

I'm going to work another sprite but that'll probably be my final submissions as no time to sprite soon.

And thanks, Px ^^

Alright, my first submission.

Altima's bad Valentine day.

Altima (second form) + Alma + Custom

I don't expect to win :P

Altima + Altima(Dumped)


According to tales and legends, the beginning of Chinese New Year started with the fight against a mythical beast called the Nien (Chinese: 年; pinyin: nián). Nien would come on the first day of New Year to devour livestock, crops, and even villagers, especially children.
I keep leaving, I keep coming back. Boomerang boy.

Ultima, the Corrupt wearing Alma's skirt is kinda fucked up.
I like it. ^_^
No Chinese-ness, though?
