Im back with more art!, Final Fantasy 6 painting of Terra Options

[Lato]

See, the thing is: you are just too good at icons.
Really, that it some wonderful work right there.
I believe the roman spear tip should be shaded down a few notches for realism. But you can keep it as such for clarity.

Oh, I actually thought you were joking at first when you said i was good at doing icons lol, that spear was like the 4th icon I ever did. I dont think its really to hard to do them but with my sideview battle system the icons are actually the weapons you use in battle which is really cool so I can do custom weapons now for my game.
I really hope ppl get some use out of the edits I do cause the default icons dont give you alot of choices which is sad, but doing these icons has opened up a hole new area for me to do stuff with games so thats good.

Im really not sure what I want to make next, I did a really cool egypt curved sword but I dont want to put only ones im using for my game here, maybe ill make one as a prize for a contest or something..

Im always open to ideas! Ill probly try my hand at doing a helmet next:)

[Lato]

Ok this is my first helmet/edit I did a egypt head cloth since one of my char wears one and then I did the edit of the default robe for xp, I think it looks alot better cause this one is more for male char Im really getting into this SOOOOOO to keep the art side of RRR alive I will do ONE request for a icon, now I only do them in the xp format/style so I dont know if they other game makers use the same or not. But Ill make a weapon or armor or acc So whoever is the first to reply with a request gets it!!!

[Lato]

Ok Im on some new weight loss pills and the side effects keep me up pretty bad so I had some extra time and ended up making some char for a new game I was thinking of, these are not the final versions but I like them.

[Lato]

Ok I have been soooo bored lately looking for stuff to work on and I got this crazy idea when I was looking at some of our res. I noticed that the VX battlers just seem way to....fancy? for a lack of a better term. The battlers look cool but I just dont see them being used for other engines. So I decided what the hell and had this idea to kinda downgrade a battler for use in older game makers, this is a werewolf one I redid of the VX wolf.


Now hes not done all the way but pretty close seeing as I dont know where to go with it lol, so do you guys think it could be used in older makers?

[kayden997]

Wow... That re-edit is really good. I believe it does emit that 'Egypt' feel but not distinctly. They tend to wear robes as opposed to modern looking dress shirts. Try to go off that and see what can be done.

----------------------------------

Well those character are interesting indeed. Heck, it's better then what I can do so +1 for that.
Besides, you were probably hallucinating or or having side effects so... another +1 for that.... lolol

-----------------------------------------

I believe it could be used in an old style rpg.
Try to look at the styles of some older rpg and how they bring that "old" look to it.
And depends how "old" are you going?
Pallets, limited, bla bla bla.
I'm not a teacher... But I can provide some examples of old style game art.

Ah I made her hat a LOT better actually, im still in love with making icons so I actually put the final version in my Kingdom game as well as the robe.

It turns out im not the only one making a Alice spin off game to lol, I was gonna offer to give him the chars for use or even make the char art for the game but no one seems to want to work with me I really like them, the more I use PS the more I like it. Now I wanted the wolf to be used for like that old style pixel Pokemon games style, keeping in mind of course that wolf was a VERY fast one I was just trying out.

I would have loved to use my stuff for RPG maker 2003 but the link here is dead...and ive been banned from the new sites...so that kinda sucks! I was really wanting to do some char art but ehh, times are really weird now, you cant give away free help and ppl that used to beg me for work dont answer my pms lol.

ANYWAYS back to the art! Im gonna keep the art thread alive even if im the only on posting stuff! AHAHA

[kayden997]

I would post stuff but I really don't know how to finish my cell shade art.
Besides, I'll be the last person to post in this art thread. You want a competition, FINE. You just met your equal.

And RPG is really easy to find. If you were to google it, things would appear.
Besides, nothing like a good old game maker to give you inspiration for old style art.

I really need to learn how to shade with PS, but ill get there. I just miss the good old days when there were alot of ppl posting there work. And I DID google RPG maker 2003, it gave me THIS site and the ones I was banned from.. If you know a good link Id really like to have it

[kayden997]

Welp, RM2k3 is considered illegal so I can do no such.
Sorry, on your own there

Illegal!? How is that possible? There are ppl posting the games here made with it, and I dont remember ever seeing a topic like that. Explain plz cause this sounds like a bad joke

[kayden997]

Japanese version isn't illegal, only the English patch for it is.
You can post games because you can never really retrace it if they bought it and translated it. For all they know, they could of bought the Japaneses version and just used it as it.

This is what I've heard anyways.

Ehh I have the worst luck it seems... Are there any open res games that I could start from that you know of? Or is that Illegal?
That just sounds so strange, but in todays world I guess we shouldnt be surprized by anything. Anyways I was editing some char battlers in xp for use as char art for my game and wanted to show a bit.




I really like how cute I made the pixi, I think the default look was just a bit over the top, the headgear it had was hard to tell what it was, now she looks much more simple and natural, and I just did a few thinks to the imp demon.

[kayden997]

I agree, the fairy looks a lot better without all the gear and such. As for the imp I does look a bit better with the 'symbols' on his forehead then on his chest (taking you can't see it anyways).

Oh but when you use the battle as char art when they talking you can see it , I just found another way to make my game even more badass! Sadly I have to limit the # of them that I do though to monsters and make then into spells cause If I were to try and do a human one the RTP style would clash bad with the custom char art style of the cast. Which reminds me I need to make a Kingdom topic, or maybe I already did, I get so confused these days, Also I found 2003 and make a topic about it thanks for the info on that Kayden you made my day lol.

Im gonna show off my 2003 char edits in next post.

[Lato]

Ok I was doing some char art for my new game, the problem was I did it on my notebook page instead of my art pad I didnt think it would made a differnce once I scanned it and used PS but I guess it does cause the quality seems a bit off. still this is a good ruff draft. This is Drusilla from my new Roman game.

[X-M-O]

It doesn't look too bad at all - just a little long neck and a couple things here and there, but it's a rough draft as you say. ^^

Its the lines! ehh they killing me, I mean it is a simple pic so I guess I could just trace it on a actual art book paper to raise the quality. I just didnt think normal notebook paper would have such a impact on the quality. I actually like the long neck, seems regal to me but the quality is just to poor for game use so I have to either redo it on art paper or hire someone to redo it.

[X-M-O]

You can get a regal look without the need for a long neck (see this old Egyptian art for an example of the neck style for a side-view), if that's what you were meaning. =]

[bacon]

Okay I am going to be blunt, you definitely are rough when it comes to art and you need a bit of improving but that is something that only time and hardwork will fix so yay for you~
Right now I see a sort of unique style but its a bit loose because you lack technique (WHICH IS OKAY BECAUSE EVERYONE IS ALWAYS AT THAT POINT IN THE BEGINNING). So you probably know what i am going to suggest; get some basic realism going on. You have a decent concept of how to draw it just looks like you lack framework. I would look at some people and then trace their outlines. See how they bend and curve. And then look at skeletal structure and copy that. It will help you a bunch and make things x10 more consistent. Plus anyways, studying realism will harness your innate style and it will turn into something original and trendy.

As for the lady, her neck is way too long. As for the face, look at someone at a profile and then use that. You have the basic shapes down you just need to fine-tune it and get all consistent and jiggy with it.

Last thing, continue to have fun and try new things and explore. The best way to learn is to try new things in 2 min sketches and then apllying what you learn to something bigger.

Anyways good luck on your art endeavors and whatnot~

I miss the good old days when I could just yell at someone, cause so many ppl would benifit from a good old fashioned kick in the balls. Sadly now I have a little bit of responsibility so I have to behave...for the most part So let me say advice is always good and rarely taken. If I wanted realism I would go out into the real word lol which ive had more then enough, I prefer the world of fantasy, and every once in awhile ill do a actual person, but id much rather have it done in my own flawed style then anything else. Im happy with my art and I am always getting better.
