This one is a lot better IMO, at least doesn't resemble knight that much.

Thanks ^^. Well, previous post was testing the helmet concept, that's why the rest of the body still looks the same. Now that the helmet's concept is good to go, I guess its time to make the changes for the rest of the sprite. Hehe ^^

Thought I'd post changes instead of trying to explain them all. I just reshaded the helmet, the arms, the chest, his left leg, and realigned the cape. I didn't touch his right leg. It looks a bit gimpy and I wasn't sure what to do with it since I only did 5 minutes of work and I want to go to bed.

Good stuff, to both Asmo and Jimmy. What Asmo's done looks pretty good to me: since the shading has been fixed on the visor and I agree that the right leg looks warped. Otherwise it's looking pretty solid to me. The Scryer with the hats looks pretty good. Creating custom hats (especially the graduation-type hats) is gonna be a bitch though, so look out. Also great work revamping the colors on that sprite--much more fitting.

As for which one looks more (or less) noble/regal/whatever, I've always felt that you can make just about any sprite look more or less noble based on the color choices you use. Let's say the sprite needs to look poor, just don't use bright colors and you're pretty much solidifying his status. Take all the Death Corps characters: that shade of green managed to make them all look poorer than the characters who'd wear bright blue, or white, or red, etc. Whatever though, LD can make the call.

The Knight looks good, but the hat... the Scryer isn't meant to appear respected, at all, currently in Mercenaries I have the VincentCraven sprite as a placeholder... is it possible to use that head, instead of the white mage Males? Though I do like the hat for the scholar, I can't see it on the Scryer, keep in mind those pictures were only concepts, through and through, nothing I ever fully endorsed or agreed upon. Perhaps just a head switch with the Calculator's weird collar might work bes.

Male Archer's, as LD suggested.

LD, that's not for the scryer sprite.

I gues I disconnected that... The Hat on the proposition, as shown by the "concept" on the front page for the Scryers don't fit Scryers very well themselves.

Why not use Delita2's legs for the knight? They look more heavily armored and I think they'd be perfect for a generic knight. They might take some modding to work well, but it might be worth the effort.

The Hessian only needs one frame, right? If not then...here's something to gawk at.

asmo you're pretty good at this! , if u dont plan to do full sprites, giving these ppl all 4 directions for the head alone would probably speed things up

Amazing!! Look much much better now ^^

Thanks, mav. Yeah, his right leg looks weird.

Haha. Yeah. I scratch my hair off. Thanks.

So meaning should change colour?

Got it.

Yeah, LD. You mentioned that this looks good for Scholar, so basically this sprite will most probably be Scholar. As for Scryer sprite, Asmo touch up is great. So, I guess that'll be the Scryer final concept?

Delita Ch2 leg...Alright. I'll try that. Thanks, mav.

The Hessian is looking great ^^



EDIT: Update*
Scholar (Fix the hat but still looks weird though =.=)

How is it? ^^ Add that tassel. Hehe.

Scryer (Headswap, Archer, with Asmo edit)

How is it? With Asmo edit, it looks much better. Thanks Asmo ^^

Ah! That Scholar looks great, though I figure animating that tassel will be insipid. Hmm...the Archer's head looks like it's not one right or something...I can't place it. Maybe the Archer head won't work after all...If you wanna experiment, try Kletian's head. Or Balk's. They rarely get used as headswaps.

Nice work with the scholar.
Hmm... although Asmo's version is good, I suggest you follow what you started with, jimmy.
For me, you'll be much comfortable working with it if that's the case.

QuoteMaybe the Archer head won't work after all...

That's what I think, too.





Good start, mav. All it needs are more details, since they are a 'high' class.

Haha. I thought no one reply yet, I was about to edit my post. But you replied. Hehe. Hmm...well, we'll have to see about Scholar animation for the tassel then ^^
As for Scryer, alright. I'll experiment them, mav. Also, in previous post, that dragoon/summoner/samurai/squire/calculator custom sprite; is there any use for that sprite? Does it fit for any job in Mercenaries?

Quotethat dragoon/summoner/samurai/squire/calculator custom sprite

Hmm... maybe, female Esperblade?

FIRST POST UPDATED>

The head is ok I think, it's just too high relative to the shoudlers. Add pixels in that space between his ear and shoulder. Also that scholar is pretty ballin. I like the tassle

Don't worry about that awesome dragoon/summoner/samurai/squire/calc sprite yet, we'll find some use for it, because it's awesome!!

Also Jimmy, I agree with Mike's post, and I like your Scholar's update A LOT!!! Nice tassel btw

Jimmy i just noticed something about your scholar. look at his left leg (our right) in the small view. Doesnt it seem a little....bent?

fixed em both
