Yea. Rad looks great. ^^
And what mav asked, about the head; cause with that head, I think it still doesn't look fully dark knight though

I'm gonna do one Radd with a helmet and one without. I'm leaning towards a custom helm based on FFXI's dark knight.

As for a heavy armor unit... I still have those alternative knight sprites I never finished. I could take the helm from that one and do a quick mod to Ramza.

Here's another update for Radd the Dark Knight (no helmet).
All he needs is a new portrait and he's done.
I'm including some sample palettes; some old some new.
(I'm betting that everyone will like the red clothes/black armor palette the best.)
Next up will be the helmeted version...

Looking good. The first one with the blue armor and the last with the black definitely look the best. Though if you had the dark armor with the gray hood that would be epic. Doing the color swaps for the hair and skin tone could be cool as well. I'm looking forward to what you can come up with for a helm.

The first one trumps everything: the second one's colors don't seem to fit Rad (as beautiful of a combo as it is), the third looks too barbarian, the fourth seems kinda random, and although the fifth looks pretty good I'm not a big fan of the red.

And, yeah, I can't wait to see how this'll look with the helmet.

I looked into the FFXI dark knight artifact helm and it basically the same as Cecil's helm, but with an open face.
It shouldn't be too difficult to make one for Radd.
And, you're right, Mav. The red armor was completely random.

You could maybe use the head of the quick dark knight Cecil sprite that "what's her name" did a while back. Though it might be a bit small.

Here's my first attempt. Obviously it needs more work.

I don't know... I think I might just leave the coif as is and just add horns and a visor.

Dude that looks awesome. I really admire your work, I can only wish that I had half the skills you have.

Holy shit, that's fucking awesome! Keep up the good work, man.

2nd palette is the best

How's this?

Amazing...truly amazing ^^
Looking forward to this.

Excuse me, Vanya, But have you got a .spr file of your DK Rad? Or I do not understand sth?

No. There won't be an .spr file until the sprite is completed. If you want to use what I have done thus far then you'll have to import it onto an existing type1 .spr file.

Allrighty then. Cheers!

I like the hight of the horn on the first one, but think it should be a little further back like on the second one. Though I would have to see this for the front angle to really know. Maybe a curve to the horn?

It's supposed to look like it has a slight curve.

BTW. I was looking again at the sprite/models and it seems the first one is closer to the FFX! Dark Knight and the second is closer to FFIV Dark Knight Cecil. I might try you suggestion for an 'in between' look.

Anyway Here's another. I did one with the 'eyes' from Cecil's helm for fun. ^_^

I probably need to lower the front of the helm a bit in the 2nd frame.

Sweet, both of these are great, but I prefer the 2nd one.

The side angle is looking very good. Though I do have to say that something does have to be done to the general shape of the helm so that he doesn't end up looking too much like megaman...
