Lato does kickass sprites not seen ANYWHERE ELSE!, Take a look at the sprites the other spriters are to lazy to do! Options

That's cool~ Can't wait to try...
But btw, what program did you use to do spriting?
I kinda want to give it a try ^^

I use Photoshop on all my work. Ok guys I wanted to show you some of the other things I have been working on, I have recently joined the Anonymous Agony team as the lead spriter so I wanted to show you guys a small sample of the work im doing for them. Doing professional work in rpg games is my dream so I hope you guys enjoy the games I work on!

[Stalin the stall...]

Oh, a cop! So your game taking place in modern setting? I like those, expecially if they are with monsters and magic

Well its not my game, its the teams, I don't like modern settings myself , but its good to try out new things to improve my skills, and she turned out good, I am trying to really get better at char sprites since thats what everyone seems to want. But my real passion and skill is doing sprites that no one has ever seen and done before like my Roman sprites.

How many days it takes to be as good as you anyway? xD
Well, I'm more of an artwork designer of RPGames but spriting seems so adorable~
It's alot harder to try for me, I did that but zooming to one pixels is just...dizzying xD

Well it took about 120 days for me to get this good lol, and im still trying to get better, believe me I thought the same thing when I first tried to do a pixel char, but then I went to art school and really learned a lot and am still learning so that helps. I am also a traditional artist, I have my own graphic novel of my game Kingdom that I made, But im still trying to improve on myself in all areas and would say I dont really know what my main strength is now.

Im just happy now that my work is so good that I have professional game companies wanting me to work for them, its really a dream come true and makes me want to improve even more!

Actually, 120 days is a short time compared to what I did. I tried about one-two weeks and continue it another year but no results, no improvement lol. Art school? Like a university or studying in a studio from a certain teacher?
What about 'no main strength' but good in all-round arts? I guess that works better than just being such a prodigy in one aspect of arts ^^

Aww, I always want to have some companies but it's hard since I don't relle have many people irl that could help.
What you told really fuels me up! Wheee, I hope we both can improve and probably joining the NIS or Square studio lol~
Dreaming doesn't hurt, does it? ^^

[Lato]

Well I actually went to school at Fullsail University for game art. I learned a lot there. I would rather have just 1 strength but oh well, i am happy to be good a a few things and am about to get great at more. I like having the freedom I have now, working for a big company is great but trust me they take away your freedom. Being able to choose what game companies I want to work for now is much better for me and it feels good to know I have the skills they need.

[Ndoelicious]

Is it like a side-course where we can do in a free time or you take it as a replacement for your actual college time?
And umm...I desire more of a game-design school than an art institute, but I'll be more than glad enough if I could study there in the art school.
It's always good to stay positive and be glad of our abilities.
I can't tell about major studios, but working with pros and 'beyond Godlike' artists makes me like..you know, is that a better proud than that as an artist? ^^

I believe it is very prestigious to be in a position where you are working alongside an experienced professional game artist, but I always think that dreaming and aspiring to become better than your favourite artist idol is more prestigious (mostly if you actually develop your own style of art that is as recognisable and popular as a major gaming artist; who knows, maybe one day you'll be equals). Never doubt your dreams, press on until you meet them.

[Lato]

Fullsail is a university and a very expensive one! But I am very glad I went. I have just added chariot races to Kingdom! It's so cool! Here is a sample of one of the other chariot teams.

[X-M-O]

That's much better than the previous one! Excellent work, and it's really quite unique and neat that you've added chariot racing in your game.

Thank you! I really need to stop adding all these cool things to Kingdom or I will never finish it lol, I was just doing the final bug testing then all of a sudden I added in roman ships and chariots But my fans paid for something special so i'll give it to them.

Here is a book I made for my game, gonna use events to be able to read books:) Here is also the scroll form, both open and closed.
Im getting my work done on AA faster then I thought I would be, so i'm looking for some work that would interest me.

[X-M-O]

They look great, but I'd have to comment that the closed scroll should have two sides to it if the opened scroll does. D=
You can have a single-side scroll (if that makes sense) if it only opens down and the paper doesn't have a proper end on it (see images below if you don't know what I mean). =]

Sooo doesnt that mean that I did it right? cause if the non open one only have a single proper end, and when you open it it looks like the pic you have??

Edit: Ok i also added in the double:)

[Tsureiyu]

just dropping by hahah
Those are some pretty nice sprites xD I always like seeing original artwork in an RM game.

And i agree with XMO! Artists like yuumei, kiwinuptuo, maan it's a long way before i get there aha. But if you have a goal, then definately go for it, i'm working my ass off ;D

Why thank you, always good to have another fan! I just keep doing what I do.

Palaiologos flag, featuring the Byzantine double-headed eagle, glory to Rome and glory to Lato for being a badass and making this! This is yet another work of custom art I have done for Kingdom! Not for use without my permission.

[X-M-O]

I love it!
See, and this is why I said you should make flags!

[Lato]

Yeah I cant believe I didnt make these sooner, but I have made a few and now EVERY map in Kingdom is custom, I have historical Roman, Sassanid, and Antes flags. This was just something I did when I got bored of bug testing it, oh and I also changed the fort dest to have scrolls instead of flat paper lol. But I guess you guys will have to wait to see that, can't show you everything.

I have many ideas and am trying out some cool new stuff never seen before! Im still trying to push my skills to the limits! I know im art staff but it seems like I have been doing resourses more then anything, so I now claim the title of both ART AND RESOURCE STAFF AHAHAHAHAHAH
