When you include elements in a video that are GPL and CC-BY-SA, you *absolutely must* release the video under those licenses as well. This is because, unlike a game (where it's a bit of a grey area since the works are still separable) a video is one single work that you can't easily take apart. So to be safe, be prepared to either not use GPLed and CC-BY-SA content in your video or release all of your source files.
Sorry to jump in here, but I need to nip this in the bud:
These sprites are not, in any way, "rips" of Final Fantasy or any other game.
The Bard is admittedly similar to edward, but the costume isn't the same and the sprite is certainly not copied. The template, in fact, is 16x18, as opposed to the 16x16 template of the FF4 sprites. The costume on the sprite is not the same as Edward's. It looks similar, but there are enough differences in color to make it distinct.
Finally, with regard to the similarity in general of these to other 16-bit JRPGs, it should be noted that it's difficult to make small 16-bit JRPG-style sprites that *don't* look like other games that use that style. :)
Thanks for the heads up. Now if only I could fix my wacom tablet issue (specifically, the aspect ratio of my screen is different from the aspect ratio of the tablet, and there's no way as far as I can tell to use less space on the tablet).
Okay, here's a pen sketch for your first image. Trying to get any sort of open source painting software working is like pulling teeth, I'm afraid.
The latest version of Krita (2.3) doesn't appear to be available for download anywhere, and mypaint apparently has no way of allowing you to scroll around a painting if the window is too small for it -- plus the watercolor brushes don't look very good and it runs slowly on my netbook.
The pen sketch (done on paper, scanned and cleaned up in GIMP) is here:
Just to clarfy something regarding GPL/CC-BY-SA:

Wow, very nice!
Why Droid Sans and not, say, Liberation Sans or some other, similar font?
Can you give me a link to this "droid" font? Mostly I get fonts for Android when I google it.

What distro are you using? I don't see anything like that.
All NPCs must die, eh?
Fine. Let's see how you feel when we stop welcoming you to town or warning you not to go into the Creepy Cave (not that you ever listened anyway). ;)
I'll give it a try once I'm on a computer that can handle it. :)

I may fire up photoshop or painter to finish it.
So, just to clarify, you're looking for watercolor replacements of the current images, for now?
