Kagebunji's sprites- Moving on...

Oh wow, this looks great I'm glad you kept the helm; it looks amazing. I would want to use this sprite for sure.
Though Lt. blue'd be better. Can you just make the one light shade lite blue without any interference?
Maybe then the pants would have to be blue too, or you could just desaturate all the blues a lil.

If I change any of those whites to blue, it will look out of place, since every shade on skirt is white. I personally think it is acceptable now, but I can reduce it to three blues and fourth dark blue, ofcourse then it will look like an outline like I said.

Well actually it looks fine enough to me, actually very cool. So just go with it friend!

I have like 70% done, I just have to attach helm, I wasn't sure of it so I left this. Also, I wonder what will I do for all the back views...
  • Modding version: Other/Unknown

mav

I think you can pull off giving the grays a bluish hue, but this is your sprite, so do what you want. Good luck with the back views--I'll try to give you good critiques, cause I expect 'em to be quite tough to do.

This is only one frame done by Jimmy, he tried to rework nose and eyes. I still have full sheet of that Moogle, I am just too lazy to submit it.

I will try to make it blue-ish, but no quarantees it  will look good, messing with palettes never was my good side.

Ok, after some time, I wraped the first version of Lenneth's portrait. I will rework visor and hair...somehow.

Anyway, again, it is based on my spriting knowledge. If anyone could send me some GOOD tutorial on making portraits(FFT style of course), I would be grateful.

GeneralStrife

Yeah i never got the hang of making portraits they always look like kindergarten drawings...

mav

There's too much saturation in your color choices, there's some pillow shading on the helmet, the angle of the helmet needs work, and there aren't enough shades devoted to the skin. I've made handful of portraits in my day, but I wouldn't know where to begin on instructing others how to make 'em.

Kagebunji

Haha, so hair is alright? At least one thing. Yeah, colors are saturated cause they are done by me, lazy I am, heh. Visor/Helmet I know that is off, I had the most problem with it, failed heh. Skin, she has four shades actually, I s'pose I didn't did well with this. Well, thanks for crit, Mav, you are always helpful, pal!

Hair needs a little work too. This is a mostly custom work, ain't it? In any case, keep working on it--hopefully you'll get more input in no time.

Kagebunji

Yes, it is practicly all custom. I should work with shades, colors, or shape of hair? I have no idea at all, haha.
  • Modding version: Other/Unknown

mav

All three, buddy. Start with the shape, then go to shading, then go to colors.

Lijj

I'm impressed with the detail of the armour. You have the shapes right but yes as mav said, oversaturated, Bring the blues down and red and green up so its more grayish. I noticed, not that I'm experienced enough, that the desaturated palette colors are usually pretty gray anyway. The hair should be gray and white. The horn like antennae things shapes seem crooked also. The hair looks like a good shape.

Kindly upload the images to other image hosting sites. I can't view imageshack. Thanks.

Kagebunji

I have redone colors, all are taken from other portraits, hehe.

Quoteand red and green
These colors weren't ever used, haha. The "red" is a dark brown. And green....well, it is probably just shade of yellow.

Kagebunji

Okay, here it is. I wanted to put it up with an update, but since I was rushed(hello Lijj, hehe), I got only portrait. Colors desaturated(borrowed from other port), and visor's shading redone(though I must admit, I liked Pillowy shaded version more, heh.

Wow man, thats awesome! Needs more skin color variations though. And that dark brown as an outline isnt working for me, it seems just too dark...well on the face at least (just change that to the second darkest one and it will be alright)...the visor is still pillow shaded, just shifted to the right >_> but over all I like this, damn! Nice work dude!! (Reminds me of those Pegasus Knights in Fire Emblem...)
There ain't no gettin' offa this train we on!
