  • Hey Guardinthena, hows your kids and family and husband and everything? Haven't heard much from you so was wondering how everything's going. Apparently you've been really busy lately. :smile:
    Ok, at this point, I don't care about the sprites anymore; I just miss Guardintheena. I hope she comes back soon. Obviously she's been really busy lately but maybe she could stop by again briefly just to say hi?
    Almost done with Prime? I expect since it's taking this
    long that you have a doozy of a sheet to give us. I'm
    excited.

    As you can see by the reactions, it is not only me who thinks you come off as very demanding and pushy here, even if that was not your intention. I don't say that to harm you, but to maybe get you to do some intropection and try to understand, why people could have taken it differently than you intended and how to prevent that in the future.

    @Avery Last time I left her a message like this, she
    didn't take it the wrong way but I see how to (other)
    people on this forum it could look like I'm being pushy.
    Maybe I should just follow everyone else's advice and
    leave these as personal messages from now on. It probably
    would come off as less obnoxious if I did that as well. Sorry,
    everyone.

    Wasn't trying to be pressuresome but
    understand why people were taking it that way
    and it came across that way. Anyway, sorry if I
    was annoying everyone. Wasn't trying to pester
    Guardintheena, either. It was mostly meant as
    a comment on how excited I was about whatever
    she's working on, but I know it didn't come across
    that way-it probably came across as harassment
    instead. Sorry. :(

    Current WIP: G1 Optimus Prime
    Been quite a while since I updated, so I thought I would share this sneak peak. Been a hectic last month and a half for me. Currently half the front and back of Prime's walk animation complete. Gonna try and knock out the rest of it this week. After that, I plan on adding an anim of his mask withdrawing, another walk with his rifle.

    Looks great. Really excited to see his sprites soon. I've started up online college after a month-long break and today's my first day back. I have a music class. Been reading material for almost two hours; had four chapters to read today; got three of them done. Taking a half-hour break before I finish up the last chapter. Then I'll be free for the rest of the day; busy busy busy right now though.

    Just showing off the height differences of the Transformer G1 sprites I'm building. Trying to be lore accurate in their heights. The humans are MV's standard size, the minibots are large boss sprite sizes, and Ratchet and Arcee are about three human sprites tall.

    Ratchet is still a WIP. Haven't found time to tackle him beyond this static image.

    Sneak peak of the week: G1 Ratchet! Just finished this static image tonight. The last few weeks have been really busy and I haven't had a lot of time to pixel lately. On top of that, I had a rough time trying to pixel Ratchet as well given that he is mostly white and I wasn't sure on the shading.
    Hi Guardintheena. I left you a message about this earlier, but you don't need to read it since I'm telling you now, so just delete it. Anyway, after you make Ratchet, I'd like to request that you make Optimus and Frenzy, but after that, I'm permanently done making requests. I've been hogging the requests for a while now, and it's time I gave someone else a turn to make some. :smile:

    Seriously I know a lot of people are hating on Star Wars now because Disney "ruined" it, but I'll always like it personally. I mean, the last three movies weren't good, but I was just happy to get to see more of them so I really enjoyed them, even if a lot of other fans didn't.:smile:
    Guardinthena

    It's good that you like it. At the end of the day that is really all that matters. I have mixed feelings about the Disney Star Wars movies and what they did. Grew up watching the original, so I honestly lean more towards the side of disliking the Disney franchise but I can appreciate some key moments in them.
    SpyroFan67
    SpyroFan67
    Only thing I really didn't like about the Disney ones is how most of the characters from the original trilogy died. It was SO lame. Almost as bad as when Star Trek killed Captain Kirk off. :(
    After making the sprite and additional animations for Rumble (Transformers G1), should I make Lifeline (an Arcee recolor), or a new Autobot sprite such as Ratchet?

    Personally though I hope you'll make Prime and Ratchet next so I'll have all my fave Autobots. Please? ;(

    Lol don't worry. Been thinking of doing Ratchet next. Autobots need their Medic with all those lethal Seekers flying around and only the minibots and Arcee to defend.

    RumbleFrenzySample.png
    Another sneak peak at an upcoming drop: Rumble and Frenzy from Generation One of Transformers. Started them last year and the poor little fellas just got forgotten for a time. Decided to do them in default MV scale, because the Minicons were about the size of humans/a little taller in the show. Thoughts?

    Hey Guardintheena I was hoping you'd do Optimus and Ratchet next after you finish Rumble and Frenzy, but if you feel like making Soundwave and Ravage and Megatron first I'm cool with that. I can wait. Just would like to know which of them you plan to do next. If I'm by any chance pestering you by asking you this I promise I'll stop. I have ADHD, and sometimes I don't know when I'm being...too intense. You know?
    Guardinthena

    It's okay, @SpyroFan67. Honestly I am not sure who I will make next after Rumble and Frenzy. I think it's fair to jump back and forth, one Con, one Bot, to fill the roaster. However, that doesn't always pan out. Was considering recoloring Arcee into Lifeline, her Paradron counterpart. Not sure after that.

    Ok then. We'll just see what you feel like. Surprise me. :smile:
    ArceeSample.pngArceeSample2.png
    A little sneak peak at what I am working on currently: Arcee from Generation One of the Transformers franchise. Ended up settling on the classic design from the TF movie. Not sure if I should keep her optics super large or small, and if her back shoulders should be further apart or closer.

    Her full turn walk around is nearly done. Just working on the side animation.

    Can't wait to see what Optimus and Ratchet and Megatron and Ravage
    look like, too. Not going to rush you, though. Just take your time. I'm
    already plenty excited about this one! By the way have you thought
    about sharing your Transformers sprites with your kids? Then they can
    make their own fan-games too!:kaoangry:
    Guardinthena
    Guardinthena
    Oh, lol! They will have to wait til they grow up some. They are still a bit too young to make their own RPG Maker games, unless I am the one making it for them.
    I have set out this week to design a castle. Then discovered I apparently do not know how to design a castle. XD

    Ooo. Those are really nice! Never thought to look up cross sections before, only blue prints and that's near dang impossible to find. Those are definitely nice seconds.
    I have modded plenty of games in my time, but Minecraft has got to be the most confusing. Not nearly as frustrating as RPG Maker plugins/scripts, but it is quickly getting up there.

    Not with Mcreator, look it up :p

    Edit: Ohh, you meant just adding mods and stuff, yeah that can be a real pain with all the different versions and mod compatibility issues :p
    My children got me back into Minecraft in January after years of not playing, and oh my gosh, it is completely different from when I use to play. So much more enjoyable! And the monsters! The Blazes are adorable! I want to make one for RPG Maker they're so cute.

    MC is like Skyrim for me. I go back to try out the new fancy mods :p The originals are fine, but I have already played them to death. I'm not the type to watch a movie twice sort of thing (Except in the 90s, we had little choice) :p

    @stgiga - Sounds like you understand MC and it's versions. I am still trying to figure out what version I need to have mods and a shader that isn't 1.91. seems most of the cool older mods haven't been updated for 1.9 yet.

    @Willibab - I love Skyrim. I've played it was on the PS3, the PC and then the Switch for a short stint. Never got around to modding it though. Last time I did that in Oblivion I corrupted my save files almost every time. Very frustrating.
    Been making a list of sprites I want to do this year and it is filling up pretty fast. I want to make more animal sprites, like dogs and cats, a cheetah, zebra and other monster types, like large Teacup, giant eagles, drakes...finish older projects like Bone Golem, animations, Transformers....goodness. Not sure if I have enough time.

    That's quite list of sprites still needing to be made. I found out recently lists work for me, it helps the scope of the project from overwhelming me. I usually do a list of 6, I ended up doing things I have been putting off.
    My children completely derailed me last month when they got heavy into playing Minecraft. Now I've been finding myself playing it again, looking up tutorials for better building construction, and now I'm redesigning my middle sons' bedroom completely Minecraft themed. XD

    get the mods Grimoire Of Gaia OR Mo' Creatures.
    Creatures works like a Pokemon system, GOG adds a lot of mythical creatures shaped as Minecraft characters.
    you can then make those creatures as wall decorations.
    play Mo' Creatures combined with RTG and Biomes O' Plenty and never run out of content.

    @Trihan and @ATT_Turan - I will have to remember to retell the joke with limbs instead of tentacles. The joke is better set up that way. Just retold it how I heard it, which was from the show boss baby, then saw the same joke written on a cardboard at Dutch Bros Coffee and had to share.

    Considering OCTOber is the 10th month, yeah that makes sense.
    Finally got my drive back to draw, and took advantage to come up with the busts for some villagers in my game Astrafalla's starting village. Got Erlund the blacksmith and his son Brant.

finally got this scripted right lol... I was running into a few issues like getting the event to play when all enemies were ko'd, actors going in and out of their victory poses, etc... still need to tweak a bit tho.
Which version should I get? 2000, 2003, XP, VX, VX Ace, or MV. I'm a beginner and have no coding knowledge and also I wanna be able to add voices.
I'm just gonna remove the Dark Spells from my game. They wouldn't be fighting Gods or Angels. So why have it?
Every day I'm getting rough-outs of another sprite sheet or two. Getting real close to just needing to make new original stuff and editing my tables and chairs to look correct for the taller sprites is among the top of the revisions list.
