Idea for new soldier sprites update 28.05.2015

I was playing All the Bravest (I know, I know, it's a terrible 'game', but it's something to do when you're waiting somewhere and you don't have a book or actual handheld gaming device.) and I remembered it had some enemy sprites for games FF7 and up.

I found a place that ripped them and they are able to be imported reasonably easily over enemy sprites.

Would anyone be interested in trying to make new soldier sprites based on the FF7 Soldier ATB sprites?



It has a similar FF6 sprite style and the design is fairly reminiscent of the CGI soldier uniform.


What do you think? I am tempted to try my hand at this, but my limited abilities would basically be limited to just recolouring it and trying to make the helmet and pauldrons into leather and try to make it a traditional sword rather than the weird spear thing.

Edit:
Alright, I decided to try my own hand at it, and while I was unable to directly import it, I was able to recreate it pixel by pixel, and I tried to do a basic recolour using the soldier palette.

I tried to make the armour black, but it just couldn't look 'good' so I kept it silver.



What do you think?

Edit 2:

Alright, a minute after I posted this, I had a 'lightbulb' moment and said 'Ooooooooooooh, that's how I can do this!'

and I immediately set about changing it for the better, what do you think about it now?
