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

[jimmyjw88]

Hmm...Good point.

[Kagebunji]

I want to do it, just gotta wait until my computer get back from repairs.

[jimmyjw88]

Alright then, it is set ^^ Kage will do Female Dragoon (Freya style).
I planned to give it a try actually, but I still have 3 unfinished sprites for Mercenaries, possibility more as you can see from my signature and my own sprites like Cless and etc. Haha. Now that Kage going to do it, I'm abit curious of what it's going to turn out, from the sketch that Vanya drew. ^^
Anyway, looking forward to this Kage.

Okay. I'll update the first post.
Til then, chill.

I still need a portrait for the female reliquian.

here's an update for the hessian:

[Cheetah]

I'm liking this Hessian design quite a bit, definitely great stuff.

[SilvasRuin]

What's going on behind the Hessian?  That dark thing sticking out around his elbow on one side and shin on the other?

[Kagebunji]

Gun, as it is in base concept picture

[SilvasRuin]

It is not normal for FFT sprites to display their weapons when not attacking.  The exception to this is Ultima.

Looks good MiKe--my only suggestion is to replace the hat. Some Hessian soldiers had those pointy hats. Kinda like Souryo's, but still pointier.

Or just drop the feather.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Sure mav. hmm.. I think the feather should stay though.

Haha. It's bec. the hessian won't have a full spritesheet.

[mav]

The feather seems too characteristic of Red Mages, in my opinion. Though we're not gonna see a Red Mage with a hat in this game anyway so...

[Vanya]

Most Rangers/Hunters in the series have feathered caps too.

Very nice Mike ^^

[Kagebunji]

Here is the first frame of Female Dragoon, it's past 16 colors now but no problems with that, I know what to do.

[Archael]

it has potential but that pauldron (shoulder piece) looks strange, and the blue from the helmet doesn't go with the blue from the dress

the idea is good but sprite needs work

[Kagebunji]

Blue on dress and helm are the same, just on helm there are more shades, maybe that's why.

[mav]

Remember that the "helmet" acts more like a mask on the concept art. Leaving it a helmet will inevitably make this look like the the female Lancer. This is gonna be an extremely challenging sprite. Multiple people should work on this to get it where it needs to be.

[Sephirot24]

It's a geolancer
Looks like a nice start.

[dwib]

The helmet just uses more dark shades than the clothing, so the helmet looks darker and clashes. Fashion sense is important in Ivalice!

[mav]

How about making the shoulder pad thing light gray and making the helmet a more silvery color, by swapping out the extra blues for more grays/silvers? Palette-wise, this'll help in the end.
