Quo's Sprites (Current Project: Lucavi Recolors)

[Setzer]

So, Quo, it seems like I cant send you my sprites, só I'll post it here, if you dont mind.
Like I said, it's not finished and I dont think I can make a portrait for him, so, if you want to use it in any way, go ahead ^^

I used some of your colors, since they are really better than the previous ones (Apanda Skin, and I really cant remember from where I took the old brown).

PS: I made a Zalera, too. And posted it somewhere here in the forum. Mine is really different from yours. I just followed the colors from the FFXII's one.

Eez de kulurz guud?

Assuming you're using the Velius colors in the post above mine, I'd say use the Byblos's colors for the body, the Hydra's colors for the wings, the palette for the yellow/unused dragon for the outline, and you'll have something a bit nicer. A la:

That Belias edit is coming along awesome!
Changing the face and horns to brown is genius.
If you want to look even more like the FF12 esper make the skin color skewed a bit more towards blue.
And maybe consider giving the gloves and boots a nice trim or even maybe make them brown with a red trim.

[Quo]

To clarify, the Belias posted above is Setzer's, not mine.

[Setzer]

Later I'll try to make the gloves and boots, but I think it will be too much for my skills.
Quo, I think the FFXII Zalera's body isnt purple, just the wings.
The body is grey with gold and orange details, but since the wings are predominant and his attack animation is so dark, it just looks like he is all purple.
For my zalera, I just changed the Wings colors to purple and inverted the gray and orange colors from his body and portrait (made a little portrait edition, since the background is used in his face). ^^

[LastingDawn]

Hmm, for this I Really think that the Japanese sprite of Zalera would be best, I absolutely Hate how Zalera looks in FFT, they really did his look, and his sign justice in FFXII, where he looks akin to Death, which is what you expect with a Death Seraph.

Also Setzer... I still can't get over your portrait, still holds up great!

[Setzer]

Vanya, months ago I tried to make the skin color that way, but I dont know how good it is.
I dont have a archive or sprite of it, just a old hosted image with my early Belias edits.

You think this blue is good?

LD, which japanese sprite?
Is there a japanese Zalera sprite that looks like him in FFXII?
That would be REALLY great. ^^

And sorry, but I couldnt understand what you said about the portrait =/

[Quo]

Quo, I think the FFXII Zalera's body isnt purple, just the wings.

If you look at the image I linked, he's got a purple-ish skull. Similar to that of the ghoul. It's like the shamaness girl next to him's skin color, but a bit darker because he's got some designs on his skull or something.

My Zalera recolor ignores the purple cape, because his wings are black in that picture, and his skull is a bit more if a light lavender-ish than purple like his cape. Then he's got gold parts. If you look at the FFT version, it looks like some kind of winged skeleton bound up by something. So I made his body the color of Zalera FFXII's skull, the wings matching the wings from said version (black), and the contraption a dark gold-ish.

So he basically doesn't have his cape, and is now bound by something for unknown reasons (same as Adrammelech... To make their palette's more appropriate to their FFXII incarnations. Nothing more...

[mav]

That Zalera looks much spookier than mine, mav, but I was going for his FFXII incarnation, which has him a bit more purple: http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s112 ... zalera.jpg

Ah, yes. Well in that case, I think you could use the Ghost's purple for the skin, a muted orange/yellow for the outline (none I look at seem to work), and if the wings need to be black use the Hydra, if purple-black I dunno...

Anyway, these are impressive color edits all around. Though always keep in mind that this is a pretty exact art form: if you hit it perfectly it makes all the difference.

[Quo]

I did use the Ghost's purple. I don't know what you mean by "outline", though. The wings use the Dark Dragon... and the gold part use his underbelly.

The palettes are listed above for Belias and Zalera...

[LastingDawn]

Hmm, nevermind, false alarm... there was no Japanese Zalera sprite, because Zalera wasn't in Revenant Wings.

I think it is quite good. ^_^

[mav]

Righto, and that purple works. The "outline" refers to the tone on his arms, around his neck, and his teeth. Dark Dragon is too dark; Hydra is just about what you need.

Don't worry though, these are just my opinions--I'm sure you guys know what you're doing.

[jimmyjw88]

I think the Zalera is looking great ^^

[Setzer]

Yes, Quo, you're right, in the arts he is purple.

But see this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zJxCdem ... edded#t=20
He isnt Oo
Neither in the Revenant Wings art:

Weird.

Well, I think he is cooler in purple, anyway. And since I already have a grey/orange version of him, it would be nice to see a different one. ^^

And you're right about Belias.
The grey is closer than my blue/green.
I'll try to make a grey/green using the current grey pallete.

[Quo]

Actually, I think I'll try that to see how it looks. Thanks. Any ideas...? Going for the FFXII version, mind you...

Also, Setzer: I guess Zalera is too hard to pin. But I'm going off of the FFXII screenshot above, so... I dunno if I should keep with that or what...

[Setzer]

Well, I dont know what "pin" means in that sentence, sorry ^^'
I think you should keep with what you're doing. Follow Mav's sugestions about the yellow and he might look greater (?).

I just think that something is wrong with his hands and Wings, I dont know... Try using another black, too. ^^

[Quo]

By "pin" I mean "pin down". But I'll probably just keep with this. That or go with mav's original suggestion for the skin-- I don't know.

But I will try his suggestion for the other colors. What I'm not sure about is Adrammelech. In FFXII he's mostly all green... I don't know how I should approach FFT's with that in mind...

[Quo]

I took mav's suggestion for the wings, and I think it works.

But I think I'll be leaving the gold as-is. It's nice and dark/dirty, which looks more like in the ref image above (and is more Zalera-appropriate...).

I hope to do Adrammelech next, but I am seriously not sure what to do there. I could really use some ideas... x.x;;;

[Asmo X]

I think the colours have been substituted well; I just think the palette is a bit cliche and make less sense than it should. It has a ram's head so a red mane, if you want to call it that, just seems kind of silly.
