Jon's Sprites

[Jon]

After Cannoneer I will work on Squall from FF8. Here is what I made so far, but people, lemme tell you now, I have to go back to acting school on Jan. 4th and I won't complete Squall as fast as the Cannoneer. But yeah, here he is, please give me your comments and suggestions as always, thanks

[Smash]

And opinions on ths quick sketches.



They look like FFTA2 guys.

How about bottom left?

[Kagebunji]

Yeah I like the bottom left most too.

As for Squall, where the fuck you have this black from? It's faaaar too dark, take black from my Shinobi. And take Izlude'shair colors for your hair. Right now I just can't see anything on the jacket and legs.

[Jon]

Bottom left looks amazing! Use that one please

Also, very sorry about Squall, I took his colors directly...my bad...I will fix it, but do you like the face and way it is supposed to look? I mean the idea is good, right??

[Kagebunji]

No, it's left, not right

[mav]

To Smash, the the bottom left looks the best, but all of 'em look great. I like the portraits more when they're facing angles; it makes 'em unique, but whatever.

To Jon, lighten up the palette a ton, and fix his hair up a little bit.

[Smash]

The portrait didn't came exactly as expected, but better.

Also made edits to the sprite and changed the pallete. Has Rofel blues now.
These look so epic, I could play a walkthrough with them!


EDIT: Forgot to mention, you cant have cannoneer without the powder bag.

[mav]

HOLY FUCK, SMASH. I fucking love the portrait. Smart choice using Rofel's blues (I was going to suggest using female Samurai's, but it's all good). What are the plans for the other palettes? And that pocket thing...so good, so good.

Seriously, holy fuck. I'm shaking.

[Xifanie]

Why does he look so sad though? Was that planned?
Way better shading and color choice.

[Cheetah]

Thank you for fixing the colors on this Smash. Jon, you made a very good base but your colors and shading were just way to flat. Implement these changes and the sprite will be epic.

The hat is amazing in that portrait. Though like Zodiac was saying he looks sad and has an abnormally large brow because of how you were shading under the hat. I think you need darker shades of skin tone under the hat instead of a large section of the same tone. The eyebrows are an easy fix of changing the arch if that is what you want to do.

Amazing work.

[Smash]

Well, I was aiming at that sort of modest mood you would regularily see on some army commanders.

The one on my avatar is the most recent one. Lowered the right eyebrow a bit to take out the sad problem.. I think.


Jon wanted to use this as avi, so I changed to red.
Male orator's palletes work excellently for portraits, and sprites too.

[Cheetah]

So I adjusted the eyebrow a bit to look less sad and changed up the shading under the hat. This is really rough just to give you ideas of what to be adjusting and I might have been a bit pillowy with my shading.

[jimmyjw88]

Amazing portrait!!! And yes, great blue.

[dwib]

Thank you very much for changing the palette. I can sleep at night now.

[Smash]

Well, here it is then.

[Cheetah]

It looks much better. Any chance of adding actual white to his shirt from his eyes, or does it contrast too much?

[Jon]

Sorry I didn't post sooner (I am in Europe's time zone)- Smash, like I said and will say again, you have a talent. Not only did you change the palette on the sprite to look better, you also made a wonderful portrait (which I will be much honored if you let me use it on here) and overall you made my character legendary! It is as if he existed all along in the game! I am simply shocked and amazed that there are so many awesome spriters on here! You have my deepest thanks! Thank you very much Smash!

Edit: Smash, your work is great! Would you be so kind and post the entire sprite sheet of your cannoneer? If not, I can change the colors too and post it. (Powder bag is a must haha) Amazing!

[Jon]

I know this isn't a great way of saying thank you, but I made you a Smash the Cannoneer sprite sheet with the same colors as in the portrait:

spoiler

I figure you could probably make your own, better version, but hey, I gotta at least try

[Kagebunji]

Amazing portrait, Cheetah already said what there is to say. I am amazed :O

[Jon]

I think we all are amazed Kage...he makes the portraits practically from scratch! How how how??? I wish I had that skill, hell, I wish I could shade better in the sprites...Smash, plain and simple, you rock man!!
