[WIP] FF6-style sprites - All in one topic

[Ishimaru Chiaki]

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 :

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

With preference for the second color combination

The violet ones

With preference for the second color combination

The pink ones

With preference for the first color combination

The red ones

I definitely prefer the first color combination

The orange ones

It's hard to decide for these ones, both color combination look nice ...

The yellow ones

I definitely prefer the first color combination

The white ones


Last but not least, the black ones !


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 :

(Note : I had trouble with img tag in the last post)

IMO, with these changes, he looks better

Toad

Recolored/Side head fixed only


With bigger hands and some more fixes


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 !
