Okay, guys. Here's the deal.
I've decided to allow the delightful FFL community to participate in development a bit.
Or I'm outsourcing my duties to you idiots because I'm too lazy to do it all myself. Take your pick.
Anyway, the gimmick is this: I'm going to provide you all with an image of the Black Knight sprite sheet. I've gone to the effort of laying it out nice and neat for all of you and including every single state that the icon uses. I will also consider providing the .dmi upon request, if you ask me in-game.
Presumably, the current incarnation of the Black Knight is male. Your task is to create a female equivalent. Something that looks similar but is very much female-looking and fits the FFL 'style'. That is, it looks like something you'd logically see in FF4.
And no, I don't include "The After Years" in this category. If your icon looks like it's from FF4:tAY I'm going to call you an idiot.
Anyway, you'll all have until Saturday, the 7th of August, to submit your female Black Knight icons. You may post sheets of your completed sprites here (acceptable) or you may submit finished .dmi files to me in-game (acceptable). I would prefer both.
I will choose my favorite from among the submissions. Though it should be enough of a reward that your work is used in the game, whoever submits the chosen icon will be awarded every ++ class. Yes. Every last one, you ungrateful sods.
Anyway, get to it.
