The art situation is stupid because it's the kind of piss poor shading that won't satisfy someone who wants art that accurately accounts for CRTs and it won't satisfy someone who wants a modern take either.

It's worth noting too that because they are reconstructed from the background of the video in the like sub 2 second clip of gameplay we aren't seeing an accurate representation of the actual colour ramps in use. There's a lot of extra shades in them that reminds me of how your pallette gets hosed by jpeg compression so I doubt that'll be present in the actual games. The ramps themselves are still shite though

Maybe, but given how lovely the ios sprites were...

Man the iOS sprites were bad, which is weird because the Record-Keeper and Octopath sprites (without the lighting) are all really good, so there's people in the company who for sure can both match the SNES FF's in style and quality.

These are Record Keeper sprites which are very purposely copying FF6 and span the entire series, not just the main characters here but it's a gatcha so there's a heap of side characters in game too. (I don't play btw cos lol)
Biggest gripe with these actually is that Barret seems really light skinned??


These are the 8 main characters in Octopath, they're a little more mature? Maybe? They're way less constrained size-wise and have a larger palette, so you can see things like the chatacter's neck, while still kind of looking like they share some kind of common ancestor in the FF6 sprites.


Both styles imo would have been preferable to what we *seem* to be getting. I wouldn't mind an Octopath approach to them if they are full remakes, but I know that would be divisive. I'd also prefer if Octopath had flatter lighting like Grandia or something but thats an entirely different can of worms :can:

poo poo I only noticed I haven't posted any of my art itt this year?




Here's a few things from the summer. The game has been taking up so much of my time... Most of the pixelling I'm doing atm is like a single tile I realised I needed late or the side of a button or whatever, which is hard to show off

I did even more GBC style Elden Ring stuff






It's kind of dumb that in year 4 of working on a GBC Zelda clone I'm only now getting it right in terms of palettes :negative:

Been working on a little thing because I'm in a Star Warsy mood, I've 2 scenes left to do (Vader and Luke on Bespin and the Emperor in his room on the second Deathstar) before I think I'm done.





I was at one point gonna try make a little prototype with the taller sprites but I uh.. got some bad news and then scoped back..

I didnt end up posting this part but I hated how sites were cropping my Star Wars thing so I added another panel



And then Ars Technica wrote to me about it:

Since then I've been in a bit of a job induced depression and I havent been able to draw a lot.. I started messing around with sprites again this week

This one was too tall for my needs but I'm thinking about Gameboy color sprites again, as usual for me now. MAde it a bit smaller but I think I managed to keep the character in there






Not that many... frames.. oh

I don't know how I hadn't posted about this yet.

I got contracted last year to do animations for Double Dragon Gaiden, as well as managed to get another artist friend hired to do other pixel stuff for it as well! I'm not at liberty to say what yet (it didn't show up in the trailers yet) but I am very excited to see my work in a big game like this!
