Kain/Cecil sprites request

Not bad at all. With my screwing around I ended up doing a lot of palette swaps from custom to vanilla. I was adding more sprites instead of replacing, so even with groups sharing a custom palette, I was still using the vanilla sprites. Pretty sure that's why I've spent to long looking at Kain and Cecil, yet didn't draw a sheet for either.

While I'm fairly certain a custom palette for each individual sprite is possible to assign and point to, I seem to recall some of those "unusable" colors are used for monster formations on the side. With the SNES limit of only loading X number of palettes at once (specially in battle) that's ... The practicality of doing it is a bit difficult. Still, as long as you use the standard format (it's around here somewhere in a spider's "basics" tutorial type post), its not overly complex to swap palettes, granted slight variations but within reason. I think there was an "in theory" discussion once that it MIGHT be possible, but it was all theory and still a ton of work.

As for comments/suggestions, is the sprite second to the right from the top left corner a walking sprite? And does it do the "head Bob" on walking? Not saying it needs changed, or that the head bob is bad, some times it looks fine, sometimes not so much. Could go either way (I haven't seen it animated), just something to look at, eventually.

Second note, that area with the kanji (is that right? Spell check is okay with that word, course it also fought with me just today with some word like "animated", properly spelled, and kept trying to change it to a completely different word, with different letters, that would be used on a YouTube beauty channel or some crap... Neither of which I ever used, viewed, or desired to use... F'n spell check...)

Anyway, the symbols next to the tent CAN be used as a sprite, if I remember correctly. It's not animated, but is still a "pose". For Kain? Could make one like holding the spear out in a battle type stance, similar to that GIF. I think I personally added one to the "monster" type sprite (like in the Narshe battle field at the start of FF6) that was a pretty poorly done "foaming at the mouth" type pose when I was filling out the partial sheet to a full on sheet. Think it started as a "surprised" sprite... I thought it was funny at least. Think I also used that spot and added the "celebs chained to wall sprite (which was an entirely different number) to her base sprite sheet to free up that slot. Some just sign their name in that slot, but I think that was more popular before the command to show it was found. Regardless, it can be used... So have fun with it!

Lastly, just to make this overly long post longer, speaking of "head bobbing" (which spell check wanted to change to "boning", another word I never use... I perfer the term "poking") the riding sprite. Considering the times its used, chocobos and M-tek armor. Most would compare a chocobo ride with riding a horse, which even a horse with a perfect gait, feel the bounce or not, viewers will see your head bob. M-Tek: large, bipedal machine. Unless that seat/cockpit has some unmilitaristic comfort suspension (doubtfully) you gonna bounce when walking.

A quick method, just cut an paste everything except the tiny legs, and drop it down a pixel or two. With someone like Kain, leave the ponytail practically in place and let the rest "bounce".

Please do forgive the overly long post, (I do have a problem with that) or if I'm saying things that are painfully obvious to you. Maybe you've already planned all of it, or want these all how they are. As I've said before, just throwing it out there. Maybe something to chew on, maybe something to forget as quickly as possible because I'm nuts and talk to much. Best of luck, regardless.
