Yea... last one will probably be changed I'll see what I can do (I thought about using a yellow gem with low opacity and showing the thunder underneath it.)

@zinx:


Try using a door from here or something. The one you have really stands out and doesn't fit the style.

@-dah0rst- and OceansDream
Is this better?


Also, Ocean, where did you get that chipset? The wall and carpet patterns are identical. If I can, I will try to keep the art away from pre-made games.

Don't make the room that big. This shopkeeper seems lost in this huge environment. Use more black areas, and imagine how the store would be layouted if it was a real store.

Is this any better?

Your shop is very empty.

Seeing your tileset, you provide tables in the shop but nothing on them. While there could be houses with diagonal walls, being blocky it doesn't make it look good so I suggest you to make the room squarish.

Here's an example of a shop of mine:



It's simple, has enough space for moving and the possibility of having npcs in the room and has details here and there so that the room doesn't seem empty.

I suggest you to do something similar to this:



I made it really quick but still basing the idea around the stuff available in your tileset (Which is very limited mind you). It still has empty spaces but looks better this way and you can experiment into adding more stuff to make it look better like more columns, npcs in the shop, pictures on the walls, etc.

If you got some character sprite of side torches it would make it look better too but that is up to you.

Hope these tips can provide you with some help

I Agree with vexus and think that you do something like of his exemple the shop will be good. ^^'

A new photo of my vilage:





A video:

@Zinx_therpgmaker: first: you should make the interior more square or rectangular in shape as now it looks unnaturally; second: depending on what the shopkeeper has to offer, decor the interior accordingly, e.g.: weapon seller would have wide selection of swords, spears, bows, rods, and such; armour dealer would have wide selection of shields, chesplates, boots, helms, and such.

And some screenshots (link to my DeviantArt account; notes at images' descriptions) from my game:




Currently, I'm struggling with battle system the most, but it's not for this type of a thread.

I've noticed that even after posting the rules up a second time, people seem to be ignoring the purpose of this thread.
This is not a screenshot thread.
Please read the first post of this topic as there have been a couple changes.

I'm a rough composer, I know, but I'd like to know what do you think of them...

Thanks in advance.

The "Fighting Alone" sounds more like a hero is fighting his way through or taking a trial. It doesn't sound like it could be used for a main battle theme to me though. It sounds like it could fit in a dungeon as well.

Now "Danse Macabre" sounds more of a battle theme. Seem like it can be used for a boss battle or a regular encounter theme.

A new screenshot from my bumpmap script- I tried it with different sorts of (modified) RTP textures... as I can't boost the performance anymore (realtime will never happen T.T), I will next work on a script for Voxel like fog

Fighting Alone was actually used as the main battle theme in Tryadine Effect (i.e. the project I'm working on), even if it wasn't originally designed for this. I found it rather good (in my opinion) and employed it, since it seemed to fit the game. Danse Macabre was meant to be a battle theme from the beginning, but never used it. If someone is interested in using it, just PM me. I'd like to hear it in action

Thanks for the comments

Hello people, I'd like some feedback on a piece I just wrote. It's for "Aevum: The Ancient's Song" by Lydyn (he's looking for a team still so anyone looking for work should go look :3). It's a battle theme for the 1st chapter, which takes place during a war, a rebel rebellion to be exact. That in mind, I tried writing it at a march tempo and being brass heavy to give it a militaristic kind of feel. What I want to know is if I did it effectively... thank you for your feedback

I give you my Dark Mage Beanie :3

Progress on an animated battler request:

(Magic casting pose -The one with the swishing hand- has no casting animation intentionally)

That looks awesome Holder : o

I've got a little screenie of some tilesets I have just recently sprited. (All tiles from scratch, except the link sprite)

So far, i've hard-coded(In C++) the statue to flash every 1-5 secs, and throw a fireball in my direction. The link sprite
is just an example of the player.

It isn't really a screenshot, I'm looking for critique on the Tileset.

@resource dragon: nice , looks really like zelda tileset , old one though.
@holder: very nice , animation looks smooth, the one i like the best is when it shoot, it shows light from the gun.
cant wait to see it implement on a game.

I need some feedback on the character's portrait before I start making the clothes. I can't draw so what I did was copy & paste, erase, resize, drew a bit, and recolor. I did what I could do. I used someone's character portrait template, and a face maker by FoxRichards. Do you think I overdid it with the hair? Trying to make a Japanese fashion Ganguro with a blond anime afro.






Nice, this is pretty good. Loving the glare effect on the tiles. You made look 3D.

Heres a more detailed town i'm doing ^^

*Ignore the Empty space that's going to be filed in later*



THIS IS FOR RPG MAKER VX

@yuu-mon-musuedo : yeah, the hair looks weird it looks like a peacock

@akura
It's quite confusing at the moment tbh. It looks great tho.

@Yuu-Mon Musuedo
Aim for Afro

@Resource Dragon
Wonderful work. You really captured that 'old style' look.

@-dah0rst-
Maybe just one direct light source would look even better. I can say that it looks interesting.

My Work In Progress

THANK YOU = D btw I released it for people to use ^^

The boots seem off too me

Thoughts on this Kaduki battler?
I made the clothes and hair from scratch.

Not bad, I like the cartoon like style.

Failed attempt at a battler :X

What do you guys think about this:
Click to view attachment
I tried a bit of a grayscale effect with him(if that wasn't obvious...).
is it good?

PS:If you wanna use it, PM me and I'll send you different versions of this sprite for exmple:walking, jumping, falling, Etc.
PPS:Sorry for not giving an opinion on any of your creations guys. I'm a nOOb, and as a nOOb, I'll probably give inaccurate criticism.

@resource dragon : it looks very good , i dont see anything wrong with it
@iori yagami : its too small for me to make up anything, as of right now i don't see anything wrong with it.
maybe it can show more with a background of some sort?
@absoluteice: the hair looks....unusual on the lighting.
@kayden997: maybe add more darker colour on the outer boots? and some shadow on it.
i think it lacks shadow on everything (except the skin)

I think I did a good job with the sheet :3 making 3D Sprite Sheets is not easy at all D:

Not sure if I can post this here but this is a sprite set i put together thought I share scene no one commented on my thread >.> btw I haven't tested him but i made im on a OverSized Boss Character Sprite Sheet as I wanted him a little bigger

akura, you've got that formatted well for a platformer game, but for RPG maker, you may wish to have a more angled camera.

OH NO!!!!! =( I forgot about the 45 degree cam angle =@_@= *face palm*

New screen

@Saul95 Whoa! Look beautiful! I love the icons and all but the save, options, and the exit icons don't seems to... Match much.
Also, the status icon could have a glow or outline around it... You know... Make it stand out more.
Still... Great job!

@akura
Interesting idea to make 3D models into sprites.
Speaking of sprites, the side walking one is a bit... Odd. It looks weird in it's standing model (middle one).
BTW you bought that?

@Iori_yagami
Like supercow said, it's too small to point out anything bad. (which is a good thing bwaahahahahahaha)
Still, looks great. Especially since you just used shades instead of various colours.

@Resource Dragon
The battler looks great. Only thing I hate... And did hate about making battlers was the moving part...
It's the darn idle ani... Whoa off topic.
The black level on the sword (in her right hand) seem a bit to... Black-ish-o-reen-o. But I fear that's what it's suppose to be.

@saul95 :looks good , but it could be better if the menu choices doesnt have the same colour as the background, its kindda hard to quick distinguish the difference. well at least for me, and its kindda a bit too bright.
maybe you can make the menu choices like the top right (nome locazione), its got no weird lighting

@akura: if you want to make 3D model into 2D, you can try cut parts of it and use paint/photoshop to reconstruct it.

My friends bought me a ton of stuff an yes its bought an i know D: I was trying to make the animations like the frames in VX RTP Style movement -.- but I don't think I making them right Im trying, i just want to make things that are more original =(




i know I tried D: its very very hard to do this @_@ wish people understood that D:

I'm feeling a bit gutsy today so I did a quick test four frame character battle stance that I might plan to use as a normal battler set. So how is this to anyone?

My Idea: Making a female character wearing a school uniform who is duel welding guns. Normal battle stance in battle encounter screen, wind blowing clothes and breathing.

Hello party people! Ima back!(after a long time away from the internets)
And here are some the sprites I want to show you guys.

The first one is a recoloring and reshading of SVC Pocket's Kyo

The second one is an original.

EDIT:kayden997 and supercow, I thank you for the compliments and the constructive critiscism.
Have a nice day!

EDIT2: I had a little accident with the two sprites above. The background color is awfully similar to the
sprite's colors themselves*sigh*. I'll avoid this error in the future.

@Yuu-Mon Musuedo
Very nice, looks like there's a bit much going on at once though. From where the clothing is attached shouldn't be blowing, like the red object seems to jump to the side quite sharply for example.
Also her legs bend to the right but the body doesn't follow, try moving it to the right a bit.

Brilliant to see more battlers on the go

@Iori_yagami
Going to comment on the original really rather than the recolour. If you look at them both you'll see that yours is rather stiff it could just be the style you're working on but personally I'd try to add some colour difference between the parts closest and furthest away. It'll prevent it from looking flat.

Hey this is my first time in the forums here so correct me if I do this wrong but I need an option over a kaduki sprite I am doing for Terra of Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep its my first attempt at a Kaduki sprite with recolred hair and cloths. Give credit to Kaduki for the original sprite his Actor 72 as a base and Square Enix/Disney for the character.
Here is the first two
Here is the other 2

Hello this is my first time posting on this site and I am still working out the "Do's and the Don'ts" so please bare with me. I have checked the guidelines and all I ask is that you be patient with me. I don't think I have permission yet to post resources but I do need some constructive criticism. I used the nude bases from http://www.rpgmakervx.net/index.php?showtopic=36553 here, I used the norse, arcane and floral primitive brushes from deviantart in the link below:





P.S: Please bare in mind that these are my first attempts at Bust shot editing, I usually make signatures, titles, banners for people on gaia online so this is a first for me. It was really a lot of experimenting and trial and error and a lot of patients. Oh and moonshra I think the sprites are really well made. I can't give you any constructive criticism as it is not my area of expertise.

Nice bust I have checked your latest ones and wow! I only do recolors for faces and busts excellent job.

3x Idle > 1x Attack
Remake of Dollmages Meliadul, got my twitter updated there with links to up-to-date information on progress. Wondering if there's anything I've missed/can improve upon with those frames there.

For the attack, maybe more movement in the hair or cloth.
Other then that, it looks great.

Cheers for the input. I tried the hair a few times but the head doesn't move that much to justify any kind of noticeable movement.
I see that I should take another look at the cloth and see if there's something I could do about it, it sort of has dual uses so it'll be a challenge.

here is the first row a walking sprite for Holder's white haired dark knight credit to holder for the original battle sprite. Tell me what yah think.
