Organization XIII Member Hooded

[The 3rd Knight]

Weeellll...This is officially my first post on the RMXP forums!  Glad to be here and I have to say I can't wait to get started with my RPGing, hehe.

Anyway, I'm making a game with tons of Final Fantasy characters and [maybe] Kingdom Hearts characters, too.  So, I looked around the web for a few characters.  A Sephiroth here, a Cloud there...And then I realized that there were no (or at least they were reallly hard to find...) Organization XIII guys.  "WTF?!?!"  I decided to take matters into my own hands....and ended up with this result!!!

Spoiler: Take a Peek!

I completely made his whole body from scratch, but edited his hood from the hooded thief.  Basically all I did then was round the back and connect it to the suit, instead of making a cape.  I may be wrong but I belive this could be t3h FIRST EVAR Organization XIII member for RMXP!!!  And watch out, 'cuz I think more are coming, if you know what I mean.

All I really wanted to do was to share it with the whole community and see what they think about it!  I think it turned out nice, but what about you?

EDIT: OK, this is my first sprite, which means I WILL BE MAKING IMPROVEMENTS!!!  With that said, expect this to be updated and not have mirrored sides, like in the picture now...I'm not as lazy as you may think...

Please use the imagezoom tag. It looks good like that, but to critique sprite we need to zoom in.

Sorry 'bout that.  It's fixed!  :lol: BTW thanks for saying that.  Now I know what to do next time!  :thumb:

awesome! good idea!

Well you're not the first person to make a organization XIII cloak, but this is one of the better ones out there.

I think you can make the hood and the cloak look more like one piece by removing the dark line at the neck. Also I can see the last frame on the front and back views are just the second frame reversed. Its a lazy way out and sometimes you can get away with it but the lighting switches sides and it's too noticeable.

He's got a skinny waist too, he must be Axel.

Hehehe...Yeah.  It took me a whole day to do because I kept screwing up and it is my first sprite, anyway.  I think I forgot to mention that I'll improve upon it  :grin:...I kind of cringed when I reversed the sides :tongue2:, but I knew I'd be making improvements in the near future.

It's looks good, though the only thing that looks weird to me is, the shoulder connecting to the elbow, that outside line looks very curvy, and makes it seem like he has very sharp shoulder bones. Other than that really good job.

His arms are small, and they're out even in his standing frames which look kind of weird. Generally, all of the arms need to be redone to look more natural. He is pretty skinny, too. But it looks good so far!  :thumb:

It's not perfect, but it's the best version of the outfit I've seen so far! The side views seem a little too bulgy imo.

the sleeves need to gradually get bigger as they go down on the up and down frames while on the side frames you need to fix the arms on the side frames in general..they're a little too curvy :P
