Fuzzy Fantasy Tactics - Sprites and Portraits

[Donnie]

Hey all. I recently decided to perform an ambitious little project to emulate Final Fantasy Tactics' squad deployment menu. Judging from some of ya's reactions, you thought this really was a game! I'm pretty shocked and so far the reception has been very warm. So therefore I'm gonna hold an open audition to be made a sprite by me! With hope I can possible craft a portrait as well.

The creation!


Right then, there are a few things to keep in mind. If you think you have what it takes to fit into this idea, feel free to volunteer. However be aware that some of you might not be very compatible with this. Just to make an example, TyVulpine is a bit too..... large to fit on these tiles. So make a realistic request shall we?

It takes me a bit of time to make these, so lets start with.... 8 as a starter.
I don't really have any rules, frankly this doesn't fit into a universe so I can make any 'sona really, even pantsless ones. From my estimates it will take me about two hours or more to make each character. Just make sure your 'sona 'fits' into this. You know, like Final Fantasy -like. Weapon in hand or some sort of skill. RPGish and all.

Be aware I'm not making an actual game. Just an image that emulates a menu from FF-Tactics. I will be making ONE sprite per request, and one portrait.

I'm also considering creating a custom 'stat' list for each character but that will likely take a while. Once I get through this we shall consider it, shall we?

So start the requests!

EDIT:
Just a preparation for the stat menu idea if I go that far, how about giving a bit of background? Tell me your class, relative stats, strengths, weaknesses, maybe a certain skill you possess? What are your weapons, armor, clothing. Tell me stuff!

DOUBLE EDIT:
That was fast. We have 8 fuzzies now. I'll probably let the mods in free cause... their mods... anyways I will try to do this in order. Luck folks.

RESULTS:
I will update this with more getting done.

Can you make one, with a wolf? My clothing attire could be a cloak and my only weapon would be sword. If this is not enough, can you tell me so I can adjust it.

Sounds like fun. if you could add me that would be pretty cool. so far all i got is the picture virmir had drawn as a reference. if you could put me in try and put me in the back with gauntlets or  Battle axe.

the reference:  http://art.by.virmir.com/art/xandalstrokls_axe\

this sounds like a great idea for a Mod as well.

[Draykin]

I'm up for this. Just make me in whatever pose ya like. I don't need any armor, although I do need my sledge. I wanna be a dragoon! With a spear! Here's the reference: http://art.by.virmir.com/art/draykin . Fire does not need to be included, and I don't mind if it isn't. Don't want you working too hard. Also, could you please make me short? I hate being tall.

Is there still room left?

Risu would use various lightning elemental attacks and stuff. I dunno what else to say.

[Anter]

I you think i'd fit, I'd like to be included in this.

I don't have a reference, but it would be a brighter gold bat character with a dark brown muzzle and dark brown long hair (muzzle fur goes up to join with the hair colorwise).

General black robe, purple rune on the ground possibly to signify being a void mage.

Class: Void Mage
Stats: Primarily powerful magic, HP, and movement. Low armor, high Res, No mana. Uses HP to cast spells, but has a no cost 'drain' spell for minor damage.
Uses a small curved blade, no armor or other weapons.


Rest is up to you Donnie!

Ok so, Ethaniel using Tod's armor with the flap things Cirrulean added in his version (For an anime feeling considering how this is inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics :P), and with the Glaive.

Class would be of course Lancer/Spearman, based on the weapon i use.

For stats/Weekness/strenghts, he would be a dexterous character with strength as a close second.
Compared with Tvorsk, I would have a bit less HP, a bit more MP, more dexterity and less strength.

Eehhh, on second thought, take my RQ out for now. Someone else's character deserves it more than I do. I don't wanna waste their slot.


(Rats, and I bumped over my own topic. ><;;, )

I'm tempted, if I can finish this post on time, to ask for my foxger kitsune character Kitsunaguma now. Details forthcoming, if someone more deserving doesn't want art.

Kitsunaguma's reference artwork is here and here (on the right). I don't know what class he is, but it's probably a mage or something. Offensively, Kitsunaguma prefers to attack with his tails; the red-tipped one has fire powers, the cyan-tipped one is ice, and the yellow-tipped one is lightning. (The white-tipped tail has been retconned into not having an elemental power.) When attacking, the specified element will shoot out of the corresponding tail; for this reason, Kitsunaguma often holds the tail in front of him with his paws when attacking, because more often than not, the enemy is in front of him. His preferred melee attack is to stab or slash with his sharp claws. Defensively, Kitsunaguma has thick hide due to being part badger. He has excellent speed and agility, as well; as such, his other stats should probably be at most medium or poor so I can't be accused of god modding or something. :P Kitsu also wears no armor. . . or clothes.

[Fizzie]

if you decide to put more on after you get this batch done, im up for letting Fizzie in on this :P

as for refs...you got more then enough XD

as for his powers or weapons...i will be talking to you about those later :P

[Dragyn]

Dang...I always miss out on these things...

If you were making more sprites, I might offer to code a simple script to cycle through them...It wouldn't be that hard, given that art assets are (and always have been) what takes me the longest.

I might make that offer, anyway...but not just yet.

[Cirr]

Well, I would like to join too. ^^
My bunneh boy is not a fighter, so I guess one of my OC would be more efficient.
