Description:  Help on making a lighthouse, pointers and links to tutorials would be appreciated.




Hello everyone!! I am currently making some tiles for a tileset to create a lighthouse. I bought RMMV a week ago, a couple of days before it went on sale on Steam......just my luck hahahaha!!
Well, I found on the Overworld, sprites of a lighthouse, so I wanted to create a lighthouse in the town, and then 5 floors, with the 5th floor being a mixture of inside and outside, basically the inside of the lighthouse with the big light bulb, but also able to head to the balcony and walk around. I would use the picture of the sea with a nice blue sky as the background.

So I am currently stuck, I made the 4 inside floors and I am in the process of making the 5th floor but I realized there are no glass walls or balcony sprites available for MV, but I will figure out something, maybe create a wall of Midsize Window F from  the SF Outside tileset or something.

Anyways my problem is the lighthouse, I can't seem to find a lighthouse that will do the job I want. Although I did find one heck of a lighthouse sprite, done by Avery, my jaw hit the floor. Holy crap, the resource creators on these forums are incredible. So for the past 3 days I decided to make a lighthouse using Gimp and following a video I found on youtube on how to set up a grid on GIMP and importing tilesets into MV.

So far I got this.




Yeah I forgot to adjust the color for light and shadow effect to at the corners of the lighthouse. The building behind my poor attempt is me testing some tiles from a tower and from a wall but the colors are off and the bricks don't mix well. I added the cracks and holes tile effects to see if it improved and it was decent. It's going to be around 20 x 6.

I'm not asking anyone to build me a lighthouse, but I would appreciate if anyone can give me pointers into improving my 3 days beginner's work at creating tiles.

I'm using Roosevelt Island Lighthouse as a reference, here is a link:   

PS: I've never done art before, complete noob here.

I've moved this thread to Art, Literature and Music. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.


I'm not really sure if I'm moving this to the most appropriate place either, but Resource Requests is for when you want someone to make a resource for you.  As you're just asking for guidance while making your own resources, it doesn't really belong there.


There are a couple of packs or threads that have windmills.  I'm pretty sure one is Celianna's Rural Farm Tiles pack in the store, and I can't remember who posted the other one.  They might be good to find and look at as a starting point, as the building shape would probably be fairly similar.

You may want to look at the Resources Forum before opening a new thread. Sometimes someone already made what you want...

I'm just going to remove the second link, because resources should not be posted without crediting the original artist or including their terms of use, and I suspect the OP will just grab that one if it's right there.  Thanks for posting it

Yeah, this is the wrong place too.  The right place would be the Resource WIP thread.  I could merge the threads but because of the way merging works your post would be lost and you won't get any help.  So instead I'm going to lock this and ask that you repost your opening post into the thread.
