Looking for a Wandering Writer sprite

[Shade the Mystic 1]

I had one of my patented and sadly fleeting moments of sheer brilliance while I was trying to come up with a new type of save point- let's face it, crystals and glowing lights just aren't going to cut it anymore. The idea I had was that there was this old man, a scholar of sorts, wandering the world recording interesting stories in this large book. The problem? as far as I can tell, there doesn't exist a sprite for this peculiar individual. So I'm hoping that someone here can help me out, either point me towards it if I've missed it somewhere, or point me towards someone who can make one. My pixel art...well, it's terrible, otherwise I'd do it myself.

So instead of things like glowing crystals and floating magic books that'll save your place, you want something like an old man, right? Try either Cleric04, Mage04, Civilian10, Civilian12, or Scholar01.

Sorry, should have been more clear. God, I'm just brainless today, it seems.

 

I'm looking for an old man writing in a book. Like, if I set his animation to 'Stop', he'll be scribbling in a leatherbound book or something.

 

I think that's clear enough now.

I haven't seen a character sprite with a book in their hands, sorry. I think you might have to make it.

Just out of curiosity, what do you want the character to look like? Male/Female? Type of clothing? etc. Perhaps if you found an existing characterset and posted it here to give a reference of what you would like the character to look like, it would help.

This was hard to make......

Old Man With Book

Your opinion on him?

It's the right idea, but the clothes don't seem quite right, and the hair (or lack thereof) makes him look a little less sage-like, more accountant-ish. But still, it's a step in the right direction.

Well, I've been using Sithjester's Dr. Jones sprite (Sean Connery from the Indiana Jones movie) as a placeholder for now. But I was thinking. something like robes, maybe ceremonial, definitely with a beard and glasses, possibly a hat or a hood of some sort. The idea is that he only looks like a wizened old man in funny clothes. He might actually be something else altogether. If you've ever seen Maester Maechen from Final Fantasy X, something like that. At least, similar to that idea, anyways. Not exactly like Maechen, because...well, that would be a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I stuck some old charactersets together and tried to base it on the picture you posted above. And I stole Nisage's book :P

[Nisage 31]

You stole my book? Well yeah it's a great book, lol. Then I hope you don't mind me recoloring him a bit.

I was only able to recolor one at the moment, dont want to recolor all of the sprites if he's going to be remodified all over again.

[Polraudio 122]

Here is a fully recolor of it. its a little darker.

They're both excellant, I like them both. Thank you so much guys! I think I can use both of them. Of coarse, with credit to all three of you! Thank you again, so much!

I'm glad you're satisfied with them.

 

So you've heard of the points system right? It's something we're trying to get going here, and this situation would the perfect example of how it could work. You have more than twice as many points as any other member, so would you like to make a donation for our work?

Seems only fair, I think. Sure, why not.
