Lijj's Sprites

[Kagebunji]

What...is this?

[Kill_Bones]

......Someone played too much assassins creed.....


As for the sprite, looking good Lijj!

[Lijj]

A different color version of this will be featured in Mando's patch FFTm. By tomorrow I'm guessing.  A lot of the sprites I've made will be in that patch
Sprite Lijj
Portrait Toshiko/Lijj

[mav]

The gauntlets and legs look a little saturated and the mark on the portrait needs a teeny bit of work too.

I like the sprite overall though. Very nice. But...what is it, like what job? I look forward to seeing your sprites in that patch.

[Cheetah]

Here damage frame in the FFh site preview image looks squashed. Otherwise a decent sprite.

[Lijj]

'Mystic Knight,' based on Krile from FFV  
Cheetah:In the other palette  (for fft m) the damaged frame wasn't as noticeable..to me.   Thanks Cheetah, should be a quick tidy up.  
Mav:The blue is actually from bard palette 1 I even took the B down 1 ..  But it is the brightest blue in the game; it must be

Edit: I thought i hallucinated when your avi blinked.

[Lijj]

Ok I edited the mystic knight portrait a little


I also turned my generic male knight into a red mage
I originally made him with blue trim out of a more personal twist/ taste. Raven of Razgriz has been paletting lately so he actually colored the one for submission the gold version. I may change the red on the blue version.. I have some nice palette ideas in mind for that one.


Edit: Also, I will probably use the knight's blue for that over sat. blue on mystic knight

[Kagebunji]

The portrait would work for my Ranger VERY nicely, haha. I like this concept. Though I still will stay with the classic Red Mage we have already. I suggest you make the feather move on walking frame, it will add a lot to it. Also, the dark outline on part where hat meets face(sprite) looks bad, try softening that line. If you could post bigger version, I would be more precise.

[mav]

Beautiful sprite. You can definitely make some freaking gorgeous palettes for this one. The only gripe I have is that the cape and the clothes are the same color, it's a little distracting.

[Kagebunji]

Btw, I just looked closely at Female Mystic portrait. Don't you agree the white cape needs to be reworked? IT looks soo bright and flat compared to her mask. Mask on the other hand has this dark outline at the very bottom that even furthers the effect of weird-looking white cape. Fix it please.

[Lijj]

Oh yeah thanks Kage now that I look at it it does seem weird. Will fix when I get back later today.
Yeah use classic version.. I made this realizing we already had a red mage. But whilst making the knight I thought of this... Thinking "he'd make a good Red mage if I just draw a hat on him". I did that and it looked way too red so I changed his chest and legs also. This is just a quick project blue one went to FFT M it matches the girl version pretty well (White hair little angular cape) The palettes for fft m match the ones made for the female, the brown one with red stripes looks cool. I might redo the palettes for the girl and submit them together so they match more.

[Kagebunji]

You could do Blue Mages. They were requested so many times already, haha. Consider it in the future

[Wolfran]

Nice red mage,Lijj. I realized that in the back frames, the point is too large. Maybe fixing the shadows could help. This version Imo is better than the other, this version looks like a really traveller, the other one like a noble with hat or something.

[RavenOfRazgriz]

I would actually like to see the female generic knight reworked with a hat and a few similar changes and given an updated version of the portrait used by the current Female Red Mage.  They'd make a very nice pair of high-quality Red Mages.  The current female one has a nice looking portrait at a glance, but the paletting on it is ridiculously haphazard and grainy and the sprite itself is a bit short and rather... mediocre when compared to this one, personally.

Since you already have the hat due to this male, the base sprite from the generic female knight, and a portrait you can just greatly improve the shading on from the old female Red Mage, I would imagine this wouldn't be a horridly difficult job that would yield a great reward - the only point of effort would be modifying the female's head to match the portrait.

I showed that palette you have up there to twinees and he said the skin tones seem a bit off on both versions, so expect an update once I've got a handle on mixing skin tones a bit better to try and remedy that since I kinda see what he means.

Though... I honestly can't say I feel that female Mystic Knight.  Kage's right in that the cape / mask area needs some big work, and the hair shading could be improved... but the sprite itself just feels very off to me.  I know it's just the Samurai's head, Knight's cape, and Archer's body with a tiny mask tossed on it, but I just can't feel it.  Don't really know why in particular.

[Lijj]

  Raven you are right about the female red mage. Esp. about the port being good at a glance... But I kind of like how petite she is it's cute.  And yes one of the skin tones is a little greyish. That's not a bad idea though redoing her using my Generic female knight as a base. I think I will..
  I wouldn't have made the Mystic knight that way but it was requested that I make her look like Krile Mystic Knight from FF V. And I just wanted to do something simple.. At least I customized the hair(removed bandanna and gave her little bangs to match the port that Toshiko started[Thanks sweety]yes Toshiko's a girl) and cape so it's not just a franken-sprite.

[GeneralStrife]

As always, beautiful sprites liji.

[Lijj]

Thanks Gen. Strife we spriters need support like that (spriting is my least remunerative hobby; no blingee). And yes Kage we need blue mages.. It's about time. The male's port is already done(via Mav and me) and your sprite is almost done right Kage?

[Kagebunji]

It's not fully done, but it doesn't require too much work, yeah. I wonder how female could be done, haha.

[jimmyjw88]

One thing about Lijj's portraits attempt is banding. Otherwise, all Lijj's portraits are unique and interesting. You should listen to Twinees's advice.

[Lijj]

      Jimmy's back! excellent. I felt I was getting away with too much when you were gone . I'll be fixing up all these once I'm done with this other little project. I have listened to twinees.. using more references lately at least.
      I'm currently working on a larger scale pixel piece for this art show submission. I'm already over half way done since I've been going at at full force for the last couple nights.
