Some Sprite Retouches/Fixes

[Kunfusion]

Hi all! I'm awfully new to this community, but I've been lingering for a few days.

I found some sprites that interested me and tried to use them...however, they didn't seem to be finished. The soldier sprite isn't really finished, but I think it's usable in the sense that it's Cloud in the Soldier uniform. I couldn't find it compiled anywhere on the forums so I decided to do it. The Cid sprite was unfinished in many spots, so I took the liberty of finishing it. I'm new to spriting which is why I started with these.

Post PNGs too

Cid with near colorless portrait. I had to redo the coloring because I couldn't convert the old palette into a 16-bit bmp:


I didn't really do anything to the Soldier other than piece it together. I probably going to try to take out the Cloud part of it, though:

That way, it'll be easier for us and to you to improve your sprite.

edit:
Good thing someone wants to edit those sprites. Let's see some updates.

[Kunfusion]

I think the Soldier sprite has so much potential...which is why I'm trying to do something with it. I'm not really a fan of FF7, but I like these renditions of the characters (and Zack's).

[MiKeMiTchi]

What's wrong with them, by the way?

here's I suggest,
for the soldier sprite, I would like it if the color of the helmet+pants would be gray(metal).

For Cid, change his colors entirely, imo, if you don't like them.

The Cid sprite was unfinished. It had bits and pieces of Mustadio on the sheet. (Hair, yellow shirt on the bottom half.)

The Soldier sprite...I'm actually working on an edit. I may have it up in a few.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Another suggestion for the Cid would be to slightly desaturate the shirt. I think that colour might be present on a Lancer cape or something. Might be good to take it from that.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Well, I did what I said before:
here's a simple color swap:

just sharing..

(Biggs' colors)
edit: borrowed colors, (also fixed head on the lowest part)

[Asmo X]

There should be another shade of gray on the helmet

[MiKeMiTchi]

Yes, I think so, too.
Oops. I forgot to borrow colors.

[Kunfusion]

DeCloudified

I like the colors on that, MikeMitchi.

Yeah, I was thinking of something like that Asmo. Thanks. It'd at least help compliment the portrait a little.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Yours was better.
Yup, add one shade on the helm, Kunfusion! (2nd brightest color, or brightest color)
the colors used was 15. One more.

[Kunfusion]

Really? Using the PalSuite thing it says there are 16 colors (15 + black bg).

[Kunfusion]

Cid saturated a little. I didn't use the Lancer colors, though. Just looking for opinions on this one at the moment.

[RolyTunedIn]

here is a nanki sprite i found if you wanted to finish it...

[Asmo X]

You desaturated the whole sprite Kunfusion? I only think the shirt needed to be worked on. I know you'd probably have to go through and replace every colour by hand so maybe just use the previous one instead. It looks quite good anyhow.

Roly: Good find, but basically everything that isn't just a straight copy of the panther needs some work.

[Kunfusion]

Haha, it's like a cross between a Panther and a Behemoth.

I haven't really started on monster types, yet. I'm still quite new to this. For now, I'm just going to stick to human classes.

Edit: FOUND AN EDIT THINGY.

Yeah, he's old anyways...so I figured he should look a little more bland and less shiny. I kinda just rushed it, though. Finishing the sprite and taking the rest of Mustadio out was annoying. xD

[MiKeMiTchi]

Full brown for Cid? (like cid in chocobo dungeon)

[Kunfusion]

That's a totally different Cid, but I can see how that can work.

I'm still kinda having trouble palette swapping the Soldier (trying to do 3, first, second, and third). No matter what I do, the colors get way inverted. The base used was poorly pixelated, I think. >_>
