The Balbanes Sprite Topic (Sprite Completed)

[RolyTunedIn]

yea i agree it would look pretty darn good with a cape.... i'm also curious as to what zalge has to bring...

[jimmyjw88]

Yeah. Zalge haven't post any of his General Balbanes and Young Balbanes.
Or is it just one Balbanes which is General and Young Balbanes? Haha...Anyway, let's hope that Zalge will post samples of his Balbanes. ^^

[Bloodthirster0]

I tried to follow Asmo's adivices


following the sprite design

EDIT:Reduced second img zoom

[Mental_Gear]

second one's zoomed in too far to really be coherent...

[MiKeMiTchi]

Could you try adding blancsh's cape?

[Bloodthirster0]

aww,I really didnt want a cape for my project and cold is already making a Caped Balbanes,I can do it after finishing the project,bur feel free to do it if you want

[MiKeMiTchi]

Okay. nevermind.

Forward-facing head is a pixel too low. And the crotch area looks like it needs more shading...how the hell does Smash get so much detail in with only 16 colors?

[Bloodthirster0]

I have no idea,but its impressive the way he did it

[MiKeMiTchi]

I think he didn't use the original fft spriting style.
He used his god-spriting power!

wouw! St. Ajora!?

[Asmo X]

Bloodthirster, look at the bottom half of the armour. follow the gold trim to the left and you'll see 3 pixels shaped like a backwards L. This is giving the impression the armour dips down and it's really standing out. The reason Smash gets away with this shading is that the surrounding pixels are also dark and your eye doesnt take the farthest pixel as part of the armour. Also, the front view of the armour has to be changed again. Now you have 2 stray gold pixels. To be honest, this part is kind of a misstep on smash's part anyway. Its hard to even interpret whats going on here. You see the 2 stray gold pixels? Make them part of the pants rather than the armour. Then, where youve outlined the bottom half of the armour in black, use your dark gold shades instead.

[Asmo X]

fuck it



I noticed the armour is actually a bit inconsistent between views. Smash's fault though.  

Oh yeah, I had to use browns from the face to fix the bottom part of the armour since there wasnt a gold that was dark enough.

[Bloodthirster0]

it looks much better now,thanks again Asmo,that part of the armor was an annoyance to "fix" it the first time,he used only two colors to make the front view thing and that fact caused all the annoyance,the L thing was simple detail,I dont know how you did notice that XD

I also noticed something that will cause many problems soon,the cavalier dont have a dead frame,his dead frame is a variation of the critical status

Reportedly Smash was working on it...Then again, he hasn't been around as much lately, so I dunno...

All Hail Smash...

Yeah. Zozma/Cheetah/LD/Voldemort (I think...I forgotten who mention it to Smash and request for change...Anyway...) mentioned this to Smash and Smash will be working on it.

[SilvasRuin]

He's busy with life at the moment, so who knows how long that will take.  I'm sure most of us are rather eager for him to get some time again.

[jimmyjw88]

Yeah. ^^

[Bloodthirster0]

so I tried the back pose and it really looks like shit and I couldnt do anything about it,the color limit sucks >.>

[mav]

What's going on between the boots? Too much shadow?

[Bloodthirster0]

yes,I got a color conflict and I didnt have any other color to put there
