I'd say to put a horn on his head to fill in the top Chrono'99, but I think that would ruin the whole look.

Since I'm on a spriting frenzy, here's a preview of the Reptite time-travelers (this one is the "icy" one, as you can guess). Notice the more modern eyes than Azala's, and the scarf around the neck (all "heroes" have scarfs in the Chrono series!).

Let's just hope I finish all the things I started

XD!  I like the new head and thank you Jsondag.  The head is great.  Idk if that's the final version but the body just doesn't seem right.  Maybe make it skinnier and a little bit shorter so it's not all Hippopotamus like.  I hope i wans't being to harsh.

Chrono 99' if your willing to do the work of completely making new sprites for the time traveller's that's awesome however the plan was just to change the assembly/tileset/etc of existing enemies so that they point to the same information as Azala.  Then we'd adjust the pallette accordingly. 

Of course I'm sure anyone would prefer if you made unique sprites  for all of them (especially if they come out as awesome as that picture) I just didn't want to tax are few spriters to much. 

Also a new Serran is probably needed more than the Reptite Time Travellers.

O_O.  Nice!  I love it   I haven't read much on plot and stuff but...do you actually get to play as the new time travelers?  Or is it like a little scene that you see with them.

[Chrono'99]

You don't play as the Reptite time-travelers, they're actually enemies, but not "evil" ones (they're like the heroes of the Reptite world, so they're opposed to our human heroes).

I'll see what I can do with Serran's body. I intended him to look like a buffed-up Mystic in an armor too big for him, because of the description:

"Kasmir - Kasmir is a forerunner to the Heckran in CT, a sort of miscreant that likes stirring trouble and tries to revive Mystic hostilities. He's relatively unpopular until a tumultuous event causes many to find faith in his views."

(The name Kasmir was changed to Serran). I imagine him having borrowed a badass armor and sword but not knowing how to use them^^ But yeah I'll see if I can correct the sprite a little.

[Chrono'99]

I've just realized the characters don't disappear when they're on the Dactyls... This adds a difficulty for making the flying car sprites (the party will stand on the roof instead of sitting in...).

[Agent 12]

...hm I was think like a cadilac (or the car you drive in the race against Johnny)

If nothing else maybe we can make motorcycles?

[justin3009]

Is there a way to change the sprite data so instead of standing up they're sitting down?  I think there is, not quite sure.

[Chrono'99]

I've finished Serran. He's less giant than previously and his legs are a bit larger.

Next target: the beaten up Dragon Tank

Chrono 99 is on a ROLL whooo.

Does that upper right sprite ever appear in CT?

--jp

[Chrono'99]

I don't know... maybe it shows if you defeat Cyrus (with non-elemental attacks).

[justin3009]

Yes, it does appear if you beat him.  And I like it.  It still seems a little blah to me...But if everyone else likes it.  Then i'll give 2 thumbs up!

[Chrono'99]

You can always tweak the sprites if you want, it's not like I copyright it or something Glenn is probably more needed than NPCs though.

[Agent 12]

Yes, Glenn is definately priority Justin (I'm pretty sure your the one working on him).  I'd prefer if one person does all the spriting of him to keep it uniform.
