Mercenaries Job Sprite Ideas (update: soon)(Image Heavy)

Yeah, it looks like he has to have the hood down. Even though that's technically not Orlandu's hood (it's Rofel's) it didn't help differentiate that sprite from its base.

EDIT: Version 2.

I had almost completed F_Inquisitor, but electricity got down...

Great concept of male inquisitor Mav, just make the whole a little brighter.

Second one look strange, probably cause of head

[mav]

Brightened the cape, fixed the head--I dunno what happened with the last one, improper placement, I suppose...

[beawulfx]

Nice, I really like that. I am a sucker for any new sprites though, they really look great when done well. I think that's a winning concept, but LD knows much more about the job I suppose!

[Kagebunji]

Now looks great IMO, but is his head borrowed from Tietra? Not good choice for male

[SilvasRuin]

If I remember correctly, LastingDawn said something about the encounters of Mercenaries being mostly vagrants, or something like that.  A cape that bright looks rather new.  A vagrant can't afford a new cloak whenever theirs gets overly filthy or tattered.  What I mean is that the color makes them look too wealthy for the setting.  That's assuming I didn't misunderstand LastingDawn though.  It's quite possible I have.

Ah, I was thinking the same thing, Silvas. When I did the palettes for the Reliquian I struggled with maintaining that grimy, vagrant look. Some of 'em still came off as "new" or "clean", but I much preferred the darker palettes...

Oh and yeah that's Teta's head, I really used it for the hair but eventually I'll make it look more manly. A simple eye swap should do the trick.

EDIT: Tried the other blue again, but it should look a wee bit brighter than it did in the first post. Also swapped out the eyes, so he should look more like a man...

[Kagebunji]

Here is first frame of Female Inquisitor, how is it?

[mav]

Not bad, though what's going on with her head? It looks like it's a little too low or too far to the left, and her face looks kinda boyish. And the armor over the pants/skirt doesn't look quite right...Keep at it, I'm sure you'll have many things fixed by the next post.

No updates on the Male Inquisitor...since I pretty much posted my idea already.

[Kagebunji]

Yeah I get this strange feeling about head too, hovewer I don't know how to make face more girly, It's Agrias head btw.

[Bloodthirster0]

for the dragoon sprite,the kain sprite that Smash made will fit perfectly with the game,it isnt complete and idk if someone will take his work

spoiler

[mav]

That's a gorgeous sprite, but I doubt anyone here can and will complete it. Smash is back (kinda)...maybe it's on his things to do?

[Kagebunji]

OMFG!! This sprite is fuckin awesome! But it is also so fuckin detailed, that no one will be able to do it

[Zozma]

only smash or someone like him would be able to do that and hes not gonna be around for a loooong time based on what hes saing about skewl

[LastingDawn]

Hmm, well personally I do not like that idea for the Female Inquisitor, Saber was basically based on Agrias, from things I've read and the last thing I want running around is a generic Agrias. The male inquisitor is shaping up very nicely! Using Teta's head was a pretty brand and daring stroke! I like it, good work!

As for the Kain look-alike, welll it is new...  but it's too much, no doubt you are all very talented but Smash's work requires a certain... finesse, unique to him it seems.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Mav, I think BLUE is a very common color, could you change it to indigo for me? Please?
hehe. Just try. I really think purple would fit the Inquisitor best.

[mav]

You got it Mike.

[MiKeMiTchi]

^ Me like the thrid one.
Nice start mav!

[MiKeMiTchi]

^ Me like the third one.
Nice start mav!

[Asmo X]

I could try that dragoon from other angles. It looks hard but it obeys the same rules all the other sprites do.
