The Dark knights chocobo and the light knights chocobo. Before I move on to animating them, and adding some knights on them. Anything glaring at us that seems wrong.

I don't like the toe armor on the Light Knight's chocobo. It's both unnecessary and would probably hinder it's ability to run properly.

You also seem to have drawn the eye onto the helmet, but haven't left a hole for the chocobo to be able to see.

I see what you mean about the toes, so I took them off, and added a wing motif on the side.

I'm not so sure about the eye socket though ... the whole is the green bit in the middle. Unless you mean it can't see forward because of it, then its something I'm not too worried about.

 

[Prexus]

The green is the eyeball? Why is the eyeball flush against the plate? There should be depth there, really. And yes, I didn't really even think about the looking forward, but you're right that is easily ignorable.

On the dark chocobo, I don't think the sheild looks just right. Is it supposed to be like resting there on the shoulder(as decoration.) or Is it protection. If it's protection, then I'd suggest making a completely new sholder pad. Sorta like american football's shoulder pads. If it's decoration I'd suggest adding a shadow to it. It just looks like the wing would make the thing turn a little to the left, like it were resting on it.

I think they look great!

I would definitely use them in my game if it weren't meant to be nearly 100% original, (Excluding RTP)...

The forum ginger...

Considering a Chocobo's are pretty much fucked without their legs and feet, I'd say something protecting both of those is necessary. Especially if they're going into combat.

OK, I would like to remind everyone that they're for jousting. If anything, they really only need what they have, for decoration. Most the armour will be used by the knights on top of them, you know, the guys with long sticks poking each other as they go past. Believe it or not, I did look into it. BUt thanks all the same for the comments

I will more then likely rework the dark knight, especially the shading, as the whole dithering got a little out of control. :x

Almost there on the Good/Light side, still not keen on the helmet and the lance needs to be shaded, but other then that :shrug: . Also, the shield emblem will get reworked, not keen on that.

 

[brainstorm]

Eh,... I suggest tilting the lance... That's all from me.

 

[NexS]

one suggestion for the first of the two... you know, the one with the silver armour? if i's the drk lancers or what ever, then i think the armour should be darker.. but still leave the glare nice and bright

 

[|3_32]

I'll keep that in mind NexS.

Meanwhile down by the chapel ...

Its still jerky, and frankly needs work like

a: Red added to the sweep mark, which you can't really see very well on a white background ...

b: possibly another frame or blurred frame with the lance halfway down

c: a cup of coffee

 

[NexS]

ok, i reckon you could add a darker outline to lighter bits.. like the bits with white in them.. you know, to match with the rest of the sprite because it seems very pushed back because the rest of the sprite has dark outlines :D

even if you just added a dark outline to the piece of cloth that is showing from the opposite side.. you know the shaddowed bit, that and piece of white cloth that is hanging behind the chocobo.. OOHH and the bit wrappin upthe foot of the chocobo :D

hope it helped

 

[mccdlibby]

Sexy, that is all.
