Final Fantasy Hacktics

Okay this turned out to be way harder than I thought, even after changing the palette. Even after magnifying both pics by 300% there are still so many flaws...

@Sent: I think I'm going to download the CS3 trial just so you can help me.

I tried making Axel out of Cloud and I ended up with partially red hair and red pixels all over the face.

The skin tones often have browns mixed in that are shared with the hair in Cloud's case.

So then would I need to use someone else, or use a paintbrush or... I don't know

Well I moved on to trying to make the portrait and I still fail epically. All I get is a big gray and black mess...

**Edit**

Here's what I have...

Must edit the palette. The full palette for a sprite is made of 16 16-color palettes.  The first 8 for sprite, & last 8 for portraits. ^_^

I edited the palette, but that doesn't help me make the shadow over the face.

Hey, Cheetah!  You remember working on this with me about six months ago?  Well, I started up on him again!  I liek Ashley Riot. eh riskbreaks and doesn't fraid of anything.

Questions, comments, and opinions are welcome from all.

I never have forgot this project. Unfortunately I just do like no spriting now adays, it is sad. So it is great to see you picking this project back up.

Yeah looks great, stick with it Kuraudo. I like what you are doing with the shorts. The front side angle needs some work though, they look oddly bulgy right now. Back view and side back view look good though. I still do hope we can figure out something out with his hair. Actually Zozma is the hair expert, maybe he will have some ideas on how to better represent Ashley's flowing whisps.

On Sydney I would recommend using the arms off of Meliadoul. They are less bulky and will make Sydney look much thinner like he is in Vagrant Story. I also thought the lower halve of the male Oracle would be a good fit for him as well. The chest would be hard, except for the fact that you can just use Ashley's when you are done and just turn the white to skin tone. Obviously I gave this all a lot of thought, but never took the time to take action.

okay, i can figure out something, but make the sprite complete as if he doesnt have the crazy whisps first and then ill help you add it in.

Shadow what are you trying to do make that a .SPR or add a head onto it?

If your trying to make it a .SPR I could probably do the palette for you, I did it for darthpaul.

Rock on, Zoz!  I got a few more animations done already.

And Cheetor, thanks for the hurrahs and huzzahs.  I've altered the front side angle.  My main goal is the walking animations, but I fear doing them, so I'm doing all the other stuff first.

OH my gosh I can't believe I forgot this. You are missing the most integral aspect of the character design of Ashley. BUTTPANTS! For the rear views you should totally be using chapter 4 Ramza's tush. If you don't believe me take a look at a view screen shots.

lol keep the legs the way they are but copy/paste the butt from ramza chapter 4

Yo Zozma I am remaking my avatar with a jacket based on Rutgers from FE6 Fuin no Tsurugi.

If I post what I get can you do any touch ups that may be needed?

if it doesn't need extensive touch ups as if i were totally redoing a sprite anyway, then perhaps.

It won't be too extensive I just doing a version of his jacket in a blue color' and as It is going from FE to FFT I want to make sure it looks right.

did u need the version i did taking off that trim?

I'm not changing the sprite's portrait yet, but having that version would be nice.

I'll submit it later I accidentally saved it as a jpg before going to bed..........I am kicking myself right now.
