Way to go, Jimmy! He needs a portrait and some palettes, right? I may be able to help on that one. When you get those two things, are you gonna submit it to the main page?

jimmyjw88

Yup. I'm counting on you mav ^^
Erm...probably. I've roughly gone through them with Shishi but still need to test in game.

Alrighty...Here's the Scholar portrait WIP. I...don't like it. There's a lot that needs to be done. My goal this time was getting the hat on him and finding a decent body base...I've done those. Now I need to replace the eyes and mouth, and just work on making this guy look less like the male Oracle. Criticisms and suggestions are welcome.

Looks good but yes, still oracle look for now. The tassel only have two shades. Looks kinda flat now. Perhaps one more shade? Also, I have a suggestion for that red scarf. What do you think of Vormav/Wiegraf's portrait, that scarf/collar/cloth around the neck? A little bit smaller from that.

The tassel is a bit of a problem because one of the whites is actually the background color. I'll see what I can do about it...I really don't like the look of this portrait, so I'm gonna see if I can fix it up a bit.


They're out of order though: the first one is actually the second palette; the second one is for the default palette. All of these use colors that were seen in the original game. These palettes, however, may or may not be what are used in the Mercenaries patch. I can always create new palettes, as Zodiac's palette editor makes this process so much easier and faster.

jimmyjw88

Alright, take your time as my Scryer is only beginning. ^^
Also, now that I took a look again at the fifth palette, it actually looks good. Kinda better than the game's purple. Sorry for what I said earlier xD

As far as the purple/red combination goes, I always hated it in FFT; it's a really tacky looking combination. For the Scholar I originally had the colors flipped (purple scarf with red coat), but I changed it (for whatever reason). I liked it a lot more than the one you see there. If you're interested I can post it.

Here's the new portrait (I still don't like it). I wish I could do something a little more custom, like Smash, but alas, this is all I can do...

Sure, let's see it ^^
For the portrait, the hat on his forehead is bit too low now. But the tassel is working ^^
Perhaps a reference picture, like this?

I just changed it out while you weren't looking.

...I still don't like my version. I'll work on making it look a little better...

jimmyjw88

Well, to me, Male Priest hair fits right. Just need to add the hat, and the scarf. Don't worry about it mav. Slowly take your time. No rush ^^

Generally tassels are connected to the middle of the top, not the side of it.  The shape of the hat is what tends to keep the tassels in place.

mav

Ah, good point, Silvas. I'm gonna go back to the drawing board. I never had the Midas Touch, but lately I've been terrible at this...

Alright guys, I remake Scryer a little bit. The old Scryer's coat is kinda funny.
Here's the new Scryer:

Tell me what you think ^^

Scryer New*

The new coat looks better, but why does his head look so angular on both poses?

mav

It's hard to describe, but I think the collar and hair shape just made his face look like they're orientated at a slight angle--don't worry about it though. What does need some attention is on the new frame: it looks like some of his face was lost or that you moved the upper half of his head one pixel too low.

jimmyjw88

Hmm...Well, I thought that the old Scryer might be a pixel too tall, so I lowered a pixel. Is he tall? The old Scryer I mean.
Also, I changed the neck shading for Garnet, my avatar is the latest one. ^^

EDIT: Update above*

Good work, unfortunately though I can't see the palettes for the Scholar in this browser (not sure why? Also can't see Zodiac's avatar as well.) The portrait appears to be coming along well and the new Scryer looks pretty good, I like that coat a lot.

Oh?? But I can see the Scholar palettes and Zodiac just fine...Hmm....
Glad you like it, Sir LD ^^

EDIT: Which looks better?
Left is the original but Asmo said the sleeve poking out too much. So I make the right one but to me, it looks kinda slunting down.
