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

[MiKeMiTchi]

Can you continue with the Scryer sprite, jimmy?

Anyway, first post updated.
No sprite changes though.

[jimmyjw88]

Yes. I just done Scryer and Knight with the all advices and suggestions.
I'll post them in a minute.

Alright. Here they are, Mike.

Knight (new palettes)

Which of the palettes among them is the best? Or none at all?

Scryer (new palettes, fixed the eyes, two heads; Wiegraf and Priest)

Is the blue and white ok, Mike?

Also, I'll be working on new helmet for knight as suggested by Asmo.
And for Scryer, I'll make another new one for comparison.

The Scryer's arms look scrunched in every sprite. The puffed out collar and the wide robe are probably the reason. As for the palettes on the Knight, I like all of 'em except the green and purple. Though I'd like to have seen you change the cape and pant color as well, but whatever.

[jimmyjw88]

Yeah. I'll change them soon. I'll try post the new helmet knight in awhile.
So for Scryer, smaller robe?

[dwib]

the new knight looks great!!
the teal dragoon/gaff/vormav colors made me vomit with the current cape, pants and skin tone pallets though

they scryer's long robe looks fine... just tone down the size of his arms. scryer's aren't particular muscular i'd assume
2nd hair style for scryer also, but the front view makes his head look like a mushroom

[jimmyjw88]

Hahaha. Yeah. Vormav's colour is really......Uhhhh......Lol
Gaff's colour also out but perhaps if lighter brown and maybe a little bit of gold can make it, let say bronze? Something like rusty armor. Hehe.

...just tone down the size of his arms. scryer's aren't particular muscular i'd assume

Haha. Yeah. You're right. I'll try to tone it down.

2nd hair style for scryer also, but the front view makes his head look like a mushroom

Haha. That's priest head actually. Perhaps some tweaks? ^^

And what about first hair style, Wiegraf? Looks ok?

[Asmo X]

Scryer looks better but there's still some changes to be made. I think the robe juts out from the belt much too straightly. Try the Mediator cloak perhaps? Also, the collar doesn't have much depth and I'm not sure its shaped properly either. It looks like its dropping back over his shoulders like a cape and it seems thick in some places and thin in others. Are you sure you know what you want it to look like? You have to ask yourself exactly what yuo want it to be. Thin or thick? A typical collar like the one Olan has or something else? Also, from the front view, what are the 2 light blue lines coming up from his belt?

[jimmyjw88]

Ah, Olan. Alright. I'll look into that. And Mediator too. Thanks Asmo.
About the blue lines from his belt, that's actually the belt head or something. But it doesn't look good, isn't it?
I guess its hard to scale down.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Try the Mediator cloak perhaps?

This. Don't make it true blue though. Make it a pale blue, or like the chemist's blue palette.

The Knights are great; Continue.

I like the robe, just don't add the gloves. Also the arms looked fat.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Sorry for the double post.
The forums were down, so I had to resend my post ^.

[dwib]

Hahaha. Yeah. Vormav's colour is really......Uhhhh......Lol
Gaff's colour also out but perhaps if lighter brown and maybe a little bit of gold can make it, let say bronze? Something like rusty armor. Hehe.

try completely different palletes rather than just changing the armor color. gafgarion's armor could look ok if there were different pants and cape colors. not to mention a lighter complexion for the face might help.

And what about first hair style, Wiegraf? Looks ok?

the weigraf look is starting to grow on me more than the priest look now, it's more studious, but still needs some editing. either could work

[jimmyjw88]

Erm, actually that IS chemist's blue. Haha. I'll try to lighten it.

Alright. ^^

Update*
Here's the new helmet suggested by Asmo

What do you think?

And here's Scryer with Olan's collar

How is it?
Note that I haven't change his cloak to Mediator's yet.

I must say.. I love it.

[Asmo X]

Both are looking better. I'm still getting thrown by the black line on the helmet. The lancer's helmet has black eyes but it's broken up with surrounding darker shades in the direction away from the light source. Also, do you have another, darker gray? The helmet needs some more depth. I think I see that the boots make use of an extra one. You've run into a problem I think everyone does from time to time. You've used part of a sprite that is only shaded with 3 colours, but you've taken the new palette from a series of 4 or 5. The lancer uses a ridiculous amount of shades for the armour and unless you lift all of them there might be some problems with depth or contrast. Problem is, you probably can't spare them. When this happens to me I just break the rules and tweak the palette. It's not easy to do though

Scryer is looking good. Don't try and get too fancy above the belt though. Olans thing looks pretty good (I think the Calcs, female thief and mediator also have collars if you feel like experimenting), but you probably don't need much between it and the belt. Also, where did you get the blue from? It looks a touch flat because the colours are all pretty dark.

[MiKeMiTchi]

I forgot to say..


IMO,
-choose Wiegraf's hair
-choose the last one's robe
-saturate the blue, less (coz it makes him look like a blue mage)

and oh, btw, asmo is right about the knight.

edit: UPDATED FIRST POST

[Asmo X]

Alternate hair. Stick with the Geo or one of these instead?

[MiKeMiTchi]

Geo or 3rd one for me, Asmo.
LD said that the Inquisitor can equip most items, including headgears.
Maybe borrow a hat from a red mage's then try to make it unique? Thanks.

Just change the skirt's palette for the Inquisitor if you like.
Inquisitor = Mana = violet

[Asmo X]

A hat sounds like a bad idea. Perhaps I will try something else on the head though.

Also, if you want to change the skirt, it's only 3 colours man. Just save it and swap in the ones you want. I suggest finding the shades on a current sprite though otherwise you might run into that trouble Kage had with Rydia.

[Asmo X]

I hate this sprite.

Okay. I'll take note of those.




Hahaha. yeah. hard to do, yet easy to hate~!
