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

Awesome work, Jimmy--if you need me to size down the portrait and add the new palettes, I'll get it to you in a jiff, just post the final portrait or let me know which one you're going with. But like Cheetah said, don't go around failing any more papers.

I actually like the Scryer head,it fits well,I dont think it looks old,he just looks a little bit more older than most generics,he'll only look old if the character in the portrait is old(like 40yo Man)

Righto, I remember saying this too, but I'd swap out the eyes on the sprite, just in case. When it comes to the portrait, whoever is working on it just needs to be careful with the eyes, palette, and chin and it will look fine.

Thanks a lot, mav. Which version of the portrait, I'm not really sure yet because both looks good too. Which one you guys prefer? And the previous post are the finals. And yeah, must not fail anymore papers. ><

As for Scryer portrait, I think just you mav xD

[mav]

Alright, well take a look at these portrait palettes and let me know what needs changing. I left the actual portrait unmodified, since Jimmy tackled all the blemishes on his own. I believe I used female Mediator's hair color for the original portrait, then male Knight's, then Ramza's, then male Knight's, and finally female Mediator's again for the final portrait. If necessary I can swap out the third one's with female Priests, or whatever ones you guys preferred.

This hat on port just isn't working for me, it looks like it isn't the part of him :/

[Cheetah]

Ah yes the shading under the hat on the front still hasn't been corrected, it is just to sever. I'm still loving it overall though.

[jimmyjw88]

Thanks mav. Looks great. Sorry but what's front problem again? Missing dark shades?

[SilvasRuin]

Shading from the hat.  The hat would cause some shade to occur around the hair, but there's no shading use there, at least towards the front.

[jimmyjw88]

Alright. Is this any better?
Also, here's the combination of second and fourth and Bolmna test

[Cheetah]

I have no other input for the portrait other than moving the tassel to the right. Really turned out amazing as a from scratch portrait.

I'm really digging the first combined Scryer design. Still need to fix the eye though.

[mav]

Whoa! Both Scryers look seriously good. I prefer the second one, but that's definitely a huge improvement. I fucking love you, Jimmy.

As for the portrait, I think it looks better, but there should be a little shading under the tassel (above the hair), there should be some anti-aliasing on the left part of his hair (our right), and I think you should remove those extra black pixels under the chin. Like Cheetah said, this is an amazing custom portrait--you're doing great, man.

[jimmyjw88]

Portrait ~ Thanks, both of you ^^ Alright, I'll move the tassel and fix the hair on the right. Ah, sorry about the black pixels. Forgotten to remove that.

Scryer ~ Thanks ^^ Update above* (Fixed the eye)

[Cheetah]

It is amazing what fixing the eye did, looks much younger and better. Mav made some very good points about the portrait.

[jimmyjw88]

Alright. So eyes fixed but which you guys prefer? To me, I can't really choose because both also look good and kinda unique.

And update above* (Moved tassel, fixed the hair, removed extra black pixels and incorporated Mav's changes that I forgotten to)

[Cheetah]

Tassel looks way better. Make sure to make these additions to the full pick too, it is a nice piece of character art.

I'm definitely a fan of the first Scryer with the collar. The mantle just doesn't make much sense to me. I think such a decision needs more than just Mav and myself though.

FYI: I'm not a fan of your new avatar Jimmy, your other custom portraits just look so much better.

[jimmyjw88]

Thanks, Sir Cheetah ^^
I think this should be final. For Scryer, I kinda prefer the first too. Let's see what Sir LD and others think. ^^

Erm...Other custom portraits? My avatar? Well, my avatar is finally done ^^

[Kagebunji]

I like both versions, but 2nd is too big, so I vote for 1st one.

[jimmyjw88]

Ah, alright. So, should I continue proceed Scryer or just hold on till the coat is decide? Hmm.....Heck, nevermind. I still need to fix up the Scholar. I'll do that first.

[SilvasRuin]

I prefer the first Scryer as well.

[mav]

The portrait looks fantastic, Jimmy. Are you going to add it to the sprite itself, or would you like me to? Same with inserting the portrait palettes; if you'd like for me to do them, I'd be more than happy to--assuming the sprite you sent me was the final version.

As for the Scryer, it looks like a pretty general consensus has decided that the first one is the winner. The eyes made such a huge difference; I don't even know where to begin. I can't wait to see where this sprite goes. I'm gonna start tinkering with the portrait now, but you may have to bail me out again, Jimmy.

[jimmyjw88]

Well, the Scholar is not final. I have to fix some animations where the arms are overlapping the red cape/whatever it is called.

As for Scryer, you gonna start the portrait?? I haven't even finish 10% of the sprite!! Haha.
