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

[SilvasRuin]

The pauldron almost looks like thick glass the way it is now.  It's an interesting effect, but I don't think it was one you were going for.

[MiKeMiTchi]

One thing I can say...
Her look won't match with the Male Dragoon's.

Hmm.. We could either change the male dragoon, or the female dragoon concept.

[SilvasRuin]

Why do they HAVE to match?

[MiKeMiTchi]

They have the same skillset?

[LastingDawn]

That makes no difference, I would rather each of the genders have unique looks rather than a cookie cutter build.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Okay..

[jimmyjw88]

The blue looks different maybe because too much dark blues and only one light blue for highlights. Perhaps switch a blue (the least dark among the four dark blues) to a lighter blue but darker a bit than the lightest blue that used for highlights. If you look at Male Dragoon, it has two bright colours (silver), so that the helmet doesn't look too dark shaded.

[Seushiro]

@ the female lancer on the scarf do not include the collar from wiegraf. . . even on his portrait u see that the scarf comes out from it in the middle. . . that will make it look more like a scarf. . .


also from the 1st page:

I loved this look on a female sprite. . . too bad it has no job class and is just a concept to be used. . .

[Cheetah]

I like what you did with the shoulders on the second/bottom version more. It is an awesome concept, this sprite would be pretty cool.

[LastingDawn]

If a sprite is completed for her you can be sure she'll find her place somewhere.

[MiKeMiTchi]

And probably.. she can be a Mercenaries character..
Good work seu, I like it so far..

[Seushiro]

I found her cool because she looked like a body guard for Agrias IMO. . . but somehow in sprite form with the hair maybe she looks like Yuffie and has clumsiness added to her char.

about finishing it whole. . . heheh I cnt be like Asmo who can use 15 different sprite parts to make a great sprite. . . I'm too lazy and can use only up to 3 bases to make one sprite and is simple. . . hopefully someone can pick that up. . .

[Vanya]

I think it looks great. I'd definitely use it for Alicia or Lavian in my own hack.

[jimmyjw88]

That's looking great Seu. Very nice work there ^^
Hope this is going to be continued and complete.

[mav]

And making the portrait wouldn't be too tough--the art's already done! Good work Seu. As for all this hubbub over the female Dragoon, just keep in mind that most sprites in Vanilla look completely different in their male and female forms. Black Mages look the most similar (as do most of the magic-based classes), then Knights, while most others have marked differences. If we can maintain this in Mercenaries, that'd be pretty neat: the more diversity, the better.

[MiKeMiTchi]

the art's already done!

Absolutely!

@Seushiro,
where did you based her btw?

[Seushiro]

Okay. . . hmmn. ..  well everything I did was based on that concept art from the first page. . .

If it is sprite wise. . .

Body Base = Agrias Modified (jacket Cut)
Chestplate = Male Dragoon/ Lancer
Gloves = Olan
Boots = Wiegraf
Kneepads = Agrias
Cloth below the belt = Wiegraf's scarf Modified
Head = Ramza Modified bangs and back hair
Hair Color = Tietra

I really dont use more than 3 bases to do one char. . . but this was an exemption since it is one frame. . .

[Asmo X]

The bottom version is probably your best sprite yet Seushiro.

[jimmyjw88]

But that came out great!! Haha. I only notice a few parts from other sprites like gloves, boots, body...Didn't realise so many parts from so many different sprites. Well done ^^
If this is done, I'm definitely going to add this into my party ^^
Also, if this is done, I think the other concept with cape can easily be done.

[MiKeMiTchi]

The bottom version is probably your best sprite yet Seushiro.

Agreed. That's similar to your style of spriting, too, Asmo!

Body Base = Agrias Modified (jacket Cut)
Chestplate = Male Dragoon/ Lancer
Gloves = Olan
Boots = Wiegraf
Kneepads = Agrias
Cloth below the belt = Wiegraf's scarf Modified
Head = Ramza Modified bangs and back hair
Hair Color = Tietra

Wow. That's diverse.
