[WIP] FF6-style sprites - All in one topic
#1
Hello,

After some commotion on the Toad sprite topic, and after I've been advise to regroup similar works in one topic, I open this new one, so I'm asking a moderator to lock the two previous topic (links just below). Thanks in advance.

For an overview of the evolution ...
Yoshi : http://www.vg-resource.com/thread-24977.html
Toad : http://www.vg-resource.com/thread-25011.html

Today's my first day in the week when I actually have free time (the carnival night with my friend was fun !) so I finished grabbing FF6's native colors and so, I edited both sprite sheets to use these colors. I gathered these colors in an XCF file where I can use the color picker tool to grab them when needed.

I also fixed Toad's side version issue (the hat was too flat on top and the middle dot was too small).

Here are the new version :

Yoshi
Recolored only

With yellow removed from his boots and some pixel fixes

Shape variant
Meanwhile, I tried something in the front and rear ones. Maybe these changes won't be kept or partially kept.

(I worked on a duplicate layer, just in case I don't keep these changes)

Color variations
Green color palette made from WoB monsters sheet : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2575...rs-wob.png

From this palette, I made some green variants of Yoshi, for both versions :
[Image: yoshi-color-variants-v1.png] [Image: yoshi-color-variants-v2.png]
First row : Unchanged
Second row : Olive palette, lower contrast
Third row : A little brighter, higher contrast
Fourth row : Same as third row but with lower contrast

Other Yoshi colors

WARNING : I haven't done the boots recoloring yet ! I'll do it once the color versions chosen !

Now the liteblue ones

My preference goes for the second color combination

The darker blue ones

The violet ones

The pink ones

With preference for the first color combination

The red ones

I definitely prefer the first color combination

The orange ones
[Image: orangeyoshi-variants-v1.png] [Image: orangeyoshi-variants-v2.png]
It's hard to decide for these ones, both color combination look nice ...

The yellow ones
[Image: yellowyoshi-variants-v1.png] [Image: yellowyoshi-variants-v2.png]
I definitely prefer the first color combination

The white ones

Last but not least, the black ones !
[Image: blackyoshi-variants-v1.png] [Image: blackyoshi-variants-v2.png]

Revamped version, with les bright green

I decided to keep the revamped version (visible cheeks in front view + higher thigh gap + slightly slimmer body). So I applied these changes on all front and rear views and I also changed the greens for the one sI selected from what I've shown earlier.

Here's the update :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/chd38djdlrg2r4...shi-v7.gif
(Note : I had trouble with img tag in the last post)

IMO, with these changes, he looks better

Toad

Recolored/Side head fixed only
[Image: ff6-style-toad-sprite-v2.gif]

With bigger hands and some more fixes
[Image: ff6-style-toad-sprite-v3.gif]

TODO :
  • [Done] Using FF6's native color palette
  • [Done] Fixing Toad's side version issue (rounder hat, bigger dot)
  • [Done] Improving Toad's hands
  • [Done] Removing yellow from Yoshi's boots. They're now fully burnt orange
  • [In progress] Anything to give more FF6-like feel
  • [In progress] Make the 9 other Yoshi colors (cyan, blue, yellow, red, pink, orange, violet, white and black)

And PLEASE, avoid vague criticism for it won't help me and only make me have kernel panics ! Anything wrong ? Explain it !

I still say Yoshi's muzzle looks too small on his south frames. His colors are also too rich for FF6.

Here are the palettes I made :
[Image: ff6-palette-mainchars.gif]
Grabbed from this sheet : http://www.retrogamezone.co.uk/images/sp...sheet1.gif

And this other one I made :
[Image: ff6-palette-creatures.gif]
Grabbed from the "NPC Creatures Sheet" found here on TSR (link)

The current colors come from these two palettes.

Regarding Yoshi's muzzle, you mean the width ? Maybe it's because of the shading effect that I should change.

Meanwhile, I tried something in the front and rear ones. Maybe these changes won't be kept or partially kept.

Today, I decided to try out other variations of green. So, I grabbed all the green hex codes from the World of Balance monsters sheet found on this site and made this palette :
[Image: ff6-palette-monsters-wob.png]

From this, I made some green variants of Yoshi, for both versions :
[Image: yoshi-color-variants-v1.png] [Image: yoshi-color-variants-v2.png]

First row : Unchanged
Second row : Olive palette, lower contrast
Third row : A little brighter, higher contrast
Fourth row : Same as third row but with lower contrast
Sabin : Kefka ! Wait !!!
Kefka : Wait he said ? Do I look like a waiter ?

Phew, finally managed to finish grabbing colors from FF6's WOB monsters sprite sheet to make all Yoshi colors

For most colors, I tested more than one combination and for most, I have a preference. I tested with both versions of Yoshi sprite.

As reminder, the green ones :
[Image: yoshi-color-variants-v1.png] [Image: yoshi-color-variants-v2.png]
I tend to prefer the third color combination

WARNING : I haven't done the boots recoloring yet ! I'll do it once the color versions chosen !

Hello !

After some writing spree lately (unfortunately for you, it's in French), I opened Gimp today to continue to work on my Yoshi sprites. I decided to keep the revamped version (visible cheeks in front view + higher thigh gap + slightly slimmer body). So I applied these changes on all front and rear views and I also changed the greens for the one sI selected from what I've shown earlier.

Here's the update :

Édit : That dang img tag decided to not work !!! >_<
Sabin : Kefka ! Wait !!!

It might be cuz of the address. Notice the ones above use dl.dropboxusercontent.com? Regular Dropbox may be blocking direct links, so the image redirects and doesn't show up.
