Very nice, great work on all of these, I would take Scryer Type 2, if it fit their story, but the Scryer Job in the world of Mercenaries isn't too well respected, therefore the scholarly look doesn't fit them too well, now the third sprite on the third row looks great! With a bit more work to make it look less regal it could be great!

You should really try to fit that type 2 scryer in somewhere in the game if possible. It's pretty neat.

Quote from: "Asmo X"hahah Jimmy that new Scryer you did is pretty awesome. I like the one on the left the most. Just even out the shading under the fist on his pants. You seem to have a couple of random lines 2 pixels high. And your old Scryer looks great with the female calc collar. Solved the problem of the collar and the jacket outlines in one go. And it looks better below the waist now. I say you pick these 2 and see what LD has to say. Good stuff.

Thanks Asmo. Erm...Random lines? Which one? The new Scryer? Yeah. I think Calculator's collar looks nice too. Alright. So, keep that new Scryer and old Scryer with Calculator's collar.

Quote from: "Sephirot24"The one on the 3rd row, with the white something on his shoulders looks great. Glove color change also fits better don't you think?
The Scryer type 1 with the calculator robe (i think?) also looks cool. Congrats on your fabulous and constantly evolving work!

That 3rd row is Olan's collar. And yeah, the glove colour change looks better now. Thanks for the suggestion on gray. Yup. That's Calculator's collar; looks cool. Thanks, Sephirot^^

Quote from: "mav"I'm liking the first sprite on Scryer Type 2. Except for that weird wardrobe malfunction on the pants...

The pants, yeah. Abit weird right? Actually, on this one, I having trouble with swapping other palettes. I mean, from the reference picture, that shoulder thing is red, however, I can't change because then, the pants will be red. So, I just kept these palettes and show the design to see if its ok. I'm not sure if the colours are alright...

Quotebut honestly, I think that design makes way more sense than the other one and looks pretty darn awesome.

Thanks ^^. Looks like the new Scryer looks decent afterall. Hehe.

Quotehahah Jimmy that new Scryer you did is pretty awesome.

Indeed!

Thanks Mike ^^

QuoteWow Jimmy. So many choices.
I think scryer type 2 is good, but it fill fit other jobs better. (imo)
Scryer type1... hmm.. they look high-class. hehe.

Ahaha. Well, the first row is just hands without gloves. I think that row can be excluded since glove is looking decent. Scryer type 2...other jobs...what job fits this, Mike? ^^ Yeah, Scryer type looks like high-class job. Haha.

Quote from: "Sephirot24"But anyways, that last sprite you did, mix of dragoon helm and summoner, and calc robe and samurai/whatever legs looks very very AWESOME!!!! And I totally demand that it is used for one class!!!!

Quote from: "MikeMitchi"and btw, the last piece of sprite looks awesome!
maybe.. that could fit the trancer??

Awesome, isn't it? I thought it looks great and perhaps it may be useful for a job in Mercenaries. Hehe. Also, I love to thank for the compliment on this but then, I'll be cheating/stealing/thief. So, unfortunately, I can't because its not my work. Its an unknown sprite that I'd found in the forum. But it looks awesome;summoner headband, dragoon helmet, calculator collar, samurai skirt/armor/cloth, squire hand...Amazing ways of combining existing sprites' parts ^^
Also, about trancer...what does this job do? ^^

Quote from: "Asmo X"The Olan scarf thing is too busy now. The calc collar is simple and effective and besides, Mav is right. For a Scryer, that new design makes way more sense. I think he just needs to make the pants slightly less puffy. Only slightly though.

Hmm....so Olan's scarf is out? New Scryer...Pants less puffy..Got it ^^

Quote from: "mav"See those two pixels protruding on the far left of his left leg? Scoot 'em to the right one pixel and it'll probably look a little less puffy. Also, does he have something that will drape over his back--a mini-cape of sorts? Seriously, I love this sprite and it's only one frame! I really hope this is used in some way...

Alright mav. I'll fix the pants. As for the mini-cape, yes. That's the idea. Hehe. I use Knight's top cape for this. Thanks, mav and sorry because only a frame. I was thinking the reference picture fits as Scryer but the current Scryer seems to be going quite well. So, I just made a frame for comparison. Hehe.

Quote from: "LastingDawn"Very nice, great work on all of these, I would take Scryer Type 2, if it fit their story, but the Scryer Job in the world of Mercenaries isn't too well respected, therefore the scholarly look doesn't fit them too well, now the third sprite on the third row looks great!

Thanks for the compliment, LD ^^
Third sprite on third row...Priest head with Olan's scarf/collar?

Also, mav, you mentioned about headswapping. Erm, any suggestion? ^^

Portrait (just for fun) ^^

The solution to making that scryer look less regal is the version with the calc collar.

Quote from: "Kagebunji"I did this in 5 minutes, so there may be bugs/mistakes etc.

This looks pretty decent. With some touches on the shadings, it'll turn out well. However, any jobs that fits this sprite? ^^

Quote from: "Asmo X"The solution to making that scryer look less regal is the version with the calc collar.

Ah..I see. Calculator's collar..

I think LD liked the Olan version. I'm saying the version with the calculators collar looks less regal and a lot better

I liked the Olan collar (isn't it a mantle?), too.
The Fem Calc collar looks too over-the-top, wannabe-vampire to me.

I see. Hmm... then perhaps female for the calculator collar? ^^

EDIT: Ah, mantle...Haha. Forgotten that word. Thanks Vanya.

No prob. BTW all your designs are pretty damn solid thus far.
I like the Type 2 Scryer. It would be perfect for a generic Scholar with just the addition of a mortarboard like in the reference pic.

I liked the olan version more... perhaps because i am visualizing scryers looking similar to what a scholar class would look like

the calculator's collar would look better for an invoker

Olans mantle just isn't gelling with the rest of the sprite though. The design is just weaker than the ones on the bottom row. Also, if you think the Scryer should look scholarly, I don't see how on earth anyone could go past his new one. LD doesn't want it to go in that direction though.

I have to disagree too, Asmo.
I like type2, too. But, yeah, LD doesn't like the scryer to be regal,
so stick with the Olan's, but I don't think that the calc version isn't regal.


Here's the reference pic:


have you tried adding a hat, jimmy? (for the scholar-like sprite)

Hmm, does throwing a scarf or such around their necks make them look intelligent, but not well to do?


Also yes, for an enemy only Scholar Class, I could see the Type 2 Scryer base being Great for that!

Quote from: "MikeMitchi"have you tried adding a hat, jimmy? (for the scholar-like sprite)

I plan to do that, actually but because I was just trying to see if the design fits, therefore, no hat. I'll try adding one ^^

Quote from: "LastingDawn"Hmm, does throwing a scarf or such around their necks make them look intelligent, but not well to do

I think it does, actually. With the scarf, its appearance shows they looks like some high class person or something ^^

Take note jimmy, that scholar sprite is less important than the other scryer types you made.
(considering LD's opinion)

Which sucks because it's the best sprite Jimmy has made yet. The other scryer with the calculator collar is the most technically sound of the rest (the Olan one isn't game-quality) but I feel that in design it is so close to the Oracle that it might as well be used as a base instead.

e.g

Quote from: "Vanya"BTW all your designs are pretty damn solid thus far.

Thanks ^^

Quote from: "Asmo X"e.g

That's looking great, Asmo! Much better than what I have. Haha. The belt, the robe, everything! Amazing! What I've done in these few days but still can't get it right and yet you did this in just awhile and its perfect! ^^ Amazing!!

Quote from: "MikeMitchi"Take note jimmy, that scholar sprite is less important than the other scryer types you made. Smile
(considering LD's opinion)

Alright. Also, I tried for the hat but its just out =.=
Perhaps someone may help on this. I mean I looked at the existing sprites for hat and try to improvise but failed...Miserably...

Thats not too bad. The second hat needs to go up a pixel or 2 and the 3rd need to go right a pixel. 3rd one is closest to being correct I think.

2nd go up a pixel or 2, 3rd go right pixel, alright. Got it. Really? 3rd is the closest? Haha. I thought it was too flat. I really scratched my hair off when doing this because can't really find the exact hat. Only thing I can refer are the shadings.

Also, update on Rehauled Knight*
I used Shrine Knight's arms, Dragoon's chest, Gafgarion's belt and Wiegraf's leg. Don't know if it looks good though. So, any crits? ^^
