Final Fantasy VI: The Respritening - Yoshitaka Amano Edition

[pluckylump]

I'm going to redesign all the character sprites in the style of Yoshitaka Amano's concept art rather than Kazuko Shibuya's chibi designs. This is the thread where I will document my progress. This is also the thread where you will get impatient with me as it takes forever.

Here's Terra so far. I'm in the process of giving her better hair now before moving on to new poses. I wasn't buying her curly mop with the original hair pass.

[Jacktuar]

amazing work so far!

[Eli Parker]

Really cool, I'm looking forward to your hard work.

[Monterossa]

Nice.

[israel-silva]

very nice

[pluckylump]

Finished the sprite index. There were several I don't even know what they are. There's a lot of non-people in the character directory that I should be able to just skip.

[Tawm]

Fantastic work so far. It's a tremendous undertaking, but here's hoping you see it through. If you announce this on Qhimm, the Nexus and the official FF6 Steam forums, you might motivate some more people to join the project. Unless that'd clash with your intended style.

How long did it take you to create the current Terra sprites from scratch?

[Jacktuar]

I have never ever done sprites before, so what I end up doing will almost certainly end up having to go on the scrap heap.

Having said that, I'm going to have a go at some of the NPCs using other sprites for reference.

[agg]

Very nice work so far!

[Saftle]

I love the work you have done so far. Thank you whole heartedly.

[Kael]

I never comment in forums or discussions, I'm a super lurker... but after seeing the Terra sprite for my most beloved game, I had to speak up. It is quite good and I would love to see more. I'm not an artist so I cannot contribute in that capacity, but perhaps monetarily I can help out by donating or buying games for top contributors. Just a thought.

[Larwood]

I agree with Sparhawk, I need this in my life and I'm willing to give you beer money for it.

[Saftle]

Moved thread to FFVI Subforum, for easier collaboration.

[pluckylump]

I played through the game a bunch to try and find some of the weird sprites I don't recognize. I decided that I needed to get further away from the front on perspective of the original sprites so I started over without using the original sprite as a base. I instead used some chrono trigger sprites as a base model as they have a more top down look. I also decided to lessen some of the extra details to make the model look a little cleaner and easier to read. The proportions are now even less chibi-fied.
