"Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - Ides of March Edition" mockup for the weekly challenge. Back in 44 BC handheld entertainment systems could only do three colors, you know. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, especially knowing how bad I am with this dithering thing. It was really fun drawing this. I have kept the original HUD design, so that could be considered ripped.

This would be an excellent cutscene.

HA! awesome!

I disagree with Adarias about it being hard to read. I find all the detail and shapes easier to read than most game shots that have many more colors. Perhaps cos I'm used to similar looking games on the Amstrad CPC. Anyways great work. Something about this (perhaps the retro feel) makes me like this far, far more than other isometric games.

Jump back about ten replies. -DE- and ThereIsNoCure answer the question.

Great work. But did you man "Es-tu une brute?", like "Are you a beast?". Or "Et toi, Brutus!", like "Hey, you, Brutus"? 'Cause this doesn't mean anything.

!CE-9 (Level 1 Thug) at 8/24/2007 8:51:56 AM

whoa man, there's an idea, there's a spirit -- and then it's brilliantly done! great work!

Stickman (Level 6 SWAT) at 7/8/2007 11:51:52 PM

Great Idea, Great execution and Great style. The dithering is done really well as you don't lose focus on any of the characters

Adam (Level 9 Major General) at 3/19/2007 5:19:53 AM

Yaaaaay! I made it to the weekly showcase! Thanks everybody.

As Rome citizen and Nerd, I think this is the best entry!

Ah.. if only Caesar leveled up his Mediator skills....
Love it, hits me full with nostalgia...
For three colors, there's so much personality in the sprites, too. If only more NES games had these graphics.... Thumbs up from me

It's debatable. Brutus being questioned by name ( Et tu, Brute ) is the more popular version, I believe.

fil_razorback (Level 5 Lieutenant) at 3/17/2007 1:16:16 PM

Wasn't the latin sentence "Tu quoque, mi fili" (You too, my son) ?

I Am Uh (Level 4 Button Man) at 3/17/2007 8:06:40 AM

so little colors, such awsomeness.

-DE- (Level 9 Executioner) at 3/17/2007 7:08:43 AM

It's in Latin, actually.
"Et tu Brute contra me?"

fil_razorback (Level 5 Lieutenant) at 3/17/2007 5:28:58 AM

Nice piece =)

The only thing which is bothering me is the french message on the preview, it's grammatically wrong. If you wanted to say "And you, Brutus ?", it would be "Et toi, Brutus ?". >.<

Pmac (Level 1 Jukyu) at 3/16/2007 4:42:59 AM

That's amazing, great work.

Scholz (Level 1 Depressed) at 3/15/2007 8:24:57 PM

I really hope this wins.

Mirre (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 3/15/2007 10:03:36 AM

Wow. This is simply genious! I love everything about it, the humour, the details, the style, the colours. It's just perfect.

Adam (Level 9 Major General) at 3/15/2007 9:43:17 AM

Thank you all for the feedback!

Adarias (Level 9 Federal Agent) at 3/14/2007 6:18:45 PM

so....hard....to....read

but that comes with the palette. lvoe the concept, nicely done.

Pixel_Outlaw (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 3/14/2007 4:55:51 PM

Looks great! This is really good to practice in today's million color world.

OMGFossil (Level 6 Yonkyu) at 3/14/2007 3:58:13 PM

LIBERTY STAB

ceddo (Level 6 Yonkyu) at 3/14/2007 1:59:15 PM

Man that's awesome. Would buy the game :)

Blick (Level 6 Commander) at 3/14/2007 1:53:41 PM

The palette makes me think of when I'd play a regular GameBoy game on the GameBoy Color, and it'd just color whatever the hell it wanted to apparently. Nice idea along with it.

pferguso (Level 1 Jukyu) at 3/14/2007 1:43:28 PM

Making Caesar's death look like a final fantasy tactics battle is awesome! If I were Caesar, I would move into the corner so I couldn't be attacked from 2 sides... That'll show those traitorous bastards who they're messing with...

infractus (Level 1 Depressed) at 3/14/2007 1:11:16 PM

exlent ! a roman tactical ! mdr

Nitram (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 3/14/2007 12:43:53 PM

Haha, genius :)

Stitchy (Level 6 SWAT) at 3/14/2007 11:31:07 AM

Holy shit favorite. 8D This is a wonderfully original idea. You should totally do a full color version or something, too! <3

khorin (Level 1 Private) at 3/14/2007 11:24:48 AM

The portrait of Brutus I definitely love.

born (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/14/2007 11:05:46 AM

can't belive what i'm looking at... 3 colors and so damn nice mock. absoultely brilliant. faved

MichaS (Level 1 Depressed) at 3/14/2007 10:30:49 AM

Great dithering and colors. Portriat is superb. Goooood work :)

iLKke (Level 8 Guerrilla) at 3/14/2007 10:21:34 AM

I was wondering, is it valid to post more than one challenge entry? I just feel like experimenting.

iLKke (Level 8 Guerrilla) at 3/14/2007 10:11:21 AM

Brilliant. I don't think HUD is an issue, since it can be considered a tribute.

Vital (Level 5 Sniper) at 3/14/2007 9:59:34 AM

I can say only one thing-faved^^

Noveroth (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 3/14/2007 9:58:04 AM

Haha, Thats Genius!

And as for the Hud thing, i don't think it'll be an issue, your just using a resource to "Enhance" the feel of your work.
