Hello!

This is my first ever title screen using RPG Maker VX. Though, it is just a still image, I did use the "Mog title screen miria" script with some some very minor things changed (like no wavy title).

All graphics save the actual font were drawn by me. The background is actually a default photoshop fill pattern.

I am by no means a scripter( just started using VX) so any tips/advice(like a smooth animation when selecting options i.e. new game, etc.) is most certainly welcomed!

I have always had a fondness for my draft sketches myself, then greyscale. My goal was to create a neutral or "all powerful" dragon type and that's why I chose those colors. But your colors would work too, I think all I have to do is make a color pattern that fits that description. I would love to use this drawing as a portrait or face and to use as a character in my so called game. xD

As for the sketch to greyscale process:

I tend to make a layer over the sketch and start putting in detail that way. That means I tend to go over and change some detail, but I try not to make it so drastic unless called for. One thing though that I just caught is that I don't particularly like the way the jaw came out, I was trying to make it look more rocky and scaely like the head and neck. I can always go back in and change that too.( I think that was what you were talking about too?)

Yes, that's what I was talking about.
Artists are usually able to see their own errors better than anyone else (to a certain degree), but there are some times where others can point things out better because they haven't been looking at it the entire process of it being created.
But anyway, yeah, you know exactly what I was meaning. ^^
