Smash, you are going away?
Aww.....I love all your sprites man...=.=
Sad.....Another great spriter going away soon.....

[Cheetah]

Definitely sad day. Amazing sprite and I think we all hope you come back soon

[Smash]

Lolwut?

It's just a few days without internets, nothing big.
Fate hates spriters, it seems.

[Kaijyuu]

I hope I get as many mourners at my funeral as you do when you lose internet for a few days.

Okay after looking at all three sprites in ShiShi I actually have some more comments, all relating to Kent (well the red head). The first is just a minor mistake when you were converting Sain to Kent you left a bit of his headband in some of the really small mug shots on the very right side of the sprite sheet. One near the top and one near the bottom really minor but it looks on in the animations it is used in. The other is that I'm just not a fan of how Kent's hair looks from the rear. His portrait is amazing and I love his hair style, but in the rear view for the sprite it looks like it is hanging down his face instead of whisping back (though I could just be misinterpreting his hair style). The fact that you did all those arms from scratch is utterly fucking amazing, these were the only minor critics I could find after going through each frame of animation. I only mention it because you have said you might resubmit another version with the normal FFT dead poses so I thought that might be a good time to make those adjustments.

By the way Smash, erm...when you are back and free, can you help me tweak a little of my portrait at "working with portrait" section?
I can't seem to get the portrait right and i know it needs alot of shading and pixel adjustments but i can't seems able to do it right =.=
So, can you help me abit? ^^
When you are free of course ^^
Hope this isn't too much to ask =)
Thanks in advance ^^
Anyway, LOVE ALL YOUR WORK ^^
Looking forward to see more of your amazing works ^^

Hey Smash, thx alot for your Sephirot portrait, which I sliiiiiightly modified, and now have as display picture. Much better than Black coat, less surprised/smiling Elmdor.

[jimmyjw88]

Nice Sephiroth Portraits ^^

[jimmyjw88]

Hey Smash, do think this avatar is ok? ^^
Can give some suggestions when you're back?
Thanks. ^^

I'll get to this now.


And jimmy, I won't guarantee anything as of now (the mug request), but I could give it a try. Very busy as of late..
Post the reference here, should I then make it later.



And yes, here's some quick stuff I made while bored, thought i'd share.

Ghost is incomplete.

[Verdeni]

I demand MOAR Smash!

lol jk, nice job on those quick edits.

[SilvasRuin]

The ghost looks interesting.  The gold armor Ramza looks nice.  It reminds me of a red mage.  It's the chapter four Ramza with something other than buttpants, isn't it?  Nice alternative.

[LastingDawn]

Wow, without a robe I never realized how.... piercing that Hat was, maybe Elidibs hat would be a better alternative? Also that priest is pretty cool. A bit more rugged then our current one, mind if I use him for the Cantor?

[dwib]

lol i am not a fan of the wizard ramza but i must admit the rest of your work is delicious

[Smash]

Sure, take all you want.

It was just a recolor. The other 4 palletes remain unchanged, normal priests.


The only sheet i'd spend some time out of those would be the ghost one, adding a new mug and a more rotten look to it.

All these sheets, I'd say took me like less than half an hour to make.

[Zozma]

say, could you do a full one of Elidibs human form? we were attempting to do so and i think an incomplete sheet is on the "plans for new sprites"  section i never tried to finish it because hes not quite built like the normal black mage.

[Cheetah]

These are looking pretty slick Smash. I did notice that in a few of the final frames the ghost still had his topknock, and I thought you were trying to remove it.

I was thinking the other day that this game could seriously use a good zombie/undead enemy. Or even just a solid skeleton. The skeleton wizards are a start but not quite right.

[jimmyjw88]

Wow...All these are great Smash.
Great job ^^
And you can make that mug whenever your are free, Smash.
No rush ^^
Slowly take your time ^^
Thanks in advance.

Wait...Did you say less than half an hour to make each of these sprites???
0.o
Man...I spend like few hours just to make a walking animation cless sprite
=.=
Damn....I wish I have some of your skills =D
Again...Great work, Smash ^^

[Cheetah]

It is true, what is the secret to your speed?

[jimmyjw88]

By the way, Cheetah, how to make an animated picture?
I know its GIF Format but how do you convert the spritesheet to GIF?
I mean...just the walking animation part.
