FF7 Spriting project

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

Now the problem you're encountering is that FF7 is a 3D game where there aren't many textures, plus the lighting is quite subdued.
The models are primitive, so you'll need to use some of your own imagination. For now your mouse/eye coordination and accuracy needs a bit of practice, so get your paper out and start sketching, and especially from a model!
Ah, I've made an edit, because I could see a few problems you didn't sort out:

For shading, think where the light comes from: is it strong? Weak? Close? Far? What colour? Are there several? etc.
Draw the lightsource if necessary.
