Final Fantasy Hacktics

Ok no rush.
Made the fins move; I had to think about it before executing. At first I thought maybe make them move up and down on impact but I think this is better.

The whole sprite itself seems to be on the wrong angle i think. his right shoulder is lower than his left, but it should be the other way around (this is also the same with the fins on his head). His right fin should probably be straight up... i think. Some extra shades, if possible, on the chest could help. Maybe an eye change too, once you fix up the angle.
The legs animation could do with some fft-ising, have you looked at Belius (similar stance, also bent knees).
That should probably help for now.

With what they said above.

Note** when his left leg goes forward and his right arm motions backwards  suddenly you can see a lot of his green back fin where in the previous motion his left arm forward. his back was right there.

It makes him appear like his torso is moving side to side as he is moving forward.

OMSA, It's so fucking weird but it's a great work. I think you use some blue and yellow or green for pallete like in FFCrystal Chronicles. Also the sprite looks like a swamp monster or something covered with mud.

Lijj, that is the creepiest Sahagin I have ever seen! Great!

Creepy is the way to go! It's got to look like it's just crawled out of a lagoon.
I started with just the shapes____then refined some   _____then refined more, adding details.

I like it so far, but the crotch looks a little off somehow. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

I like the new palette a lot. I really have no criticisms this time around. It's an interesting sprite. I feel like seeing a preview of it in-game would help me visualize it better.

It reminds me alot of the FF1 & FF4 sahagins.

It's because the uppermost part of his forward leg isn't being animated during the walking frames.  The part that's next to his crotch literally looks joined to his crotch.

A better criticism - why the hell are you looking at a Sahagin's crotch?

Also, his right hand stays in the same place the entire animation, it just changes angle, whereas the left hand is moving constantly. fix please liji

thanks for the crits guys. Edited the arms and legs
I'll try to capture it in game soon.

Check the shading on the far thigh. It seems to loose it's dark shading at one point.

For an all-custom it looks awesome. Have you tried putting this in-game? do it and show some screenies, that would be more helpfull. His eyes still looks weird, some straight c/p for this, perhaps?

Indeed! I bet it will look great in-game!

Updated video for the sake of quality:

This looks very nice in game.
One slight thing, should his pecks move like that? i was just thinking the shading should change (ie. get lighter when his arm closest to us moves back). Anyway, if another fft mon sprite does the peck movement, forget what i just posted, except the bit about it looks nice in game

Felt like this was neglected too long:
Finished the generic male knight. Still need a portrait; his sister is waiting..

Ah, this is great. Great job, Lijj. Now I feel like finishing Assassin, so I don't fall behind, haha.

Thanks Kagebunji.  Good I hope we continue to keep each other going; when I see others make progress I feel the same way. Since I figured Sahagin would take so long, I decided to finish this before finishing its back frames.. which are still rough.
