Also Izirudo, you can post a .SPR file you know.

Well the problem is, I'm bad at making portraits, and I wanted to make a custom Ramza so using existing parts won't help. Thanks for the advice anyway, Zozma.

see the ramza  ch4 head looks like its at the right angle to use that set of shoulders etc so

Alright, may I ask what you guys think about the overall color? I think I should make the colors a bit darker, lighter on the pants part or at least without silver coz I already used it on the crusader sprite. I'll work on it right away if I have some time off this weekend.

The custom armor I developed is kinda complicated, so you may think of those shoulders you see as only part of the real shoulders - the portrait is not enough to show both shoulders either. And I think it looks fine as it is now .

Hello,
I suggest you take some legs from other sprites for now, doing custom parts may be a bit too tough for you yet. And Good luck for the future...

Horns size is good, enlarging them will make it look bad. Work on the blues as mentioned above, make it the same way you did with Crusader, just blue. I personally don't like the grays too much, make it more silver, look at my Lucavi Follower sprite to get the shiny silver colors. You could also do some gold outlines on arms(or wherever you want, look at ref). Of all the attempts, this one is best.  dunno why you created another topic though. I will fuse this one with your "first spriting attempt" thread. Rename that thread to Izirudo's sprites" or something like that and you will be set.

And who are you? Cause you don't know what you are talkin about. Those legs look great.

After messing around with colors and such:


I'm wondering If we really need some gold on the arms - it should not be very visible, to be honest. What do you guys think?

Ofcourse we don't need gold, but it will make the sprite way more lively. I meant adding the gold in similiar way I did on Lenneth's sprite, you made it gold entirely and left silver outline. But in all honesty, this looks amazing. Adding the gold on arms was a great idea. Though I think that gld on your previous attempt were better, more shiny etc. Same for silver, make it more shiny! It will give him amazing look. As I said, my Lucavi Follower has a shiny silver on, but I advise you pick some other siny silver, cause I custom-made the silver on LF. Those blues still seems to be lacking depth, try something with it, you have only one blue at your disposal? Really good job on this. What pains me, is that our portraiters sem inactive lately, and the portrait japanese did for Gabranth sucks...

That poster has been making alot of post like they own the joint....Typing style is similar to Magitek....and they did post in spam while we were talking about Magitek...  Either way, the poster is 100% wrong, both  sprites looks great, Izriudo. Honestly though I perferred the white cape on crusader, if only for historic accuracy. Great work Izirudo!

White cape maybe looked more like the history version or whatever, but brown give the sprite overall more contrast. Silver armor, and white cape is NOT the way to do it.

wow nevertheless this sprite is looking great so far

With the symbol on the cape, did you look at the calculator female? It could really add some depth if you think about using the shading from that.

Though it still looks pretty nice.

Again, messing with colors to find a suitable set, and I got some results:


After the latest draft, I reviewed the original color of Gabranth's armor and realized that it's almost entirely silver - and quite shiny, in fact. So I had to change to colors other than greenish silver to make it look better. I also made some changes on legs and drafted a sideview pose. Man, this is some tough work - his horns, shoulders, face, etc. are not easy to demonstrate in sideview. Anyway, I'll keep on changing the colors until I find it suitable enough, or until you guys say that it's ok to leave as is

Blue? Hell no! It doesn't look good on him. Aim for shiny silver and gold, like this one:

o.O I see. That looks way better than that draft I made. I'll try that out. Thanks Kage ^_^

I don't really want to redo it now, if it already looks nice enough. Besides, I don't have that much time to keep working on sprites

yeah it looks good as it is. im just nit-picking.

For the sake of liveliness, I think I'll leave some gold on the shoulders, but I'll omit the ones on the arms. Pure silver suit his arms more.
