Looking for a Ragnaros, the firelord Portrait and Sideview Battler

[Latimius]

Hey guys :')


I usually try to do thing myself but i'm a ****ty drawer and need some help. I'm doing an RPG game with sideview battles and the hero's group arrive in a volcano where the need to defeat The Firelord. I wanted to do some joke and making my firelord to be Ragnaros from WoW but I cant make it myself. IF someone is willing to do it, here are my criterias :')


Resource Type:  : I need a sideview battler of Ragnaros and if possible his portrait, to make a good dialogue before this awesome combat. If you can, it would be amazing if you do some animations for the battler, but I can handle it myself if you cant, or don't want to. A usable sprite of Ragnaros is also an option, I can do without but it would be extremely preferable :')


Maker Format: RPG Maker MV


Art Style: You can do whatever Art style you want, it doesn't necessary be a MV art or the cartoon WoW like art. Ragnaros comes from another world, he can look whatever you want him to look.


Description:  The player, if he had ever played WoW, need to recognize Ragnaros as soon as he sees him, whatever the art style you have chosen. Ragnaros has to be 5 to 6 bigger as the character, I use YEP engine so you can tell me how to scale him. Ragnaros has to be inflamed in every portion of his body. He needs to look like being made of lava and flames. He obviously has to have a giant hammer with spines on it in his right arm.


I'll put some pictures  for you to see what I want him to look if you don't know Ragnaros.


If you have more questions, please ask :')


And tell me if you want to make Ragnaros for me ;')

@Latimius,


I threw together a quick concept sketch for this portrait. Never played WoW, so I'm going off of your examples. Would something like this work? I will obviously scale this down and finish out the right arm, clean up, color, etc. Let me know, and I'll try to get to this more as I have time. Might be a lot of fun to play around with the lighting and the color. Never had a light source actually BE the subject.


As for the sprite, I was thinking of editing one of RTP Big Monsters. I'll show you what I mean once I finish this portrait.

 

[Gabrelik]

Does the battler need legs, or did you want him coming out of the ground from the waist up, like some of the reference pictures?

 

[Latimius]

Hmmmm,you can do what you prefer concerning the legs, I dont mind but OMG your drawing's so amazing, thx !


I'm impatient concerning the sprite :') And just try to have fun concerning the lights, I dont want you to just get a pain in the ass :')

 

[Gabrelik]

I know. The sprite is always so cool because you can see how he interacts in the game world.   I had to start with the portrait though to get an idea of how I'm going to do it. Like I said, I'm not really familiar with this character, but the concept is pretty cool. I don't get as much time to work on these projects as I would like, but I'll certainly keep you posted as we go. 

 

[Gabrelik]

@Latimius,


Here is the portrait. First one of these I've done from scratch, so it could definitely use some work and I'm still tweaking it. Anyway, I'll work on the sprite and the battler as I have time, but it may be awhile. I'm kind of jumping around between projects. Hope this will at least help as a placeholder for now. 

 

[Latimius]

It looks much better than when your reply was unedited


Thank you


Take your time 

 

[Gabrelik]

Couldn't get satisfied with it. I think if I just kept posting the revisions without editing, one of the moderators would have gotten a bit cross with me.

 

[Latimius]

I'm making the volcano that Ragnaros will be the boss of :')


He will be an amazing boss of this dungeon :')

 

[Gabrelik]

I haven't forgotten, just got caught up with a commission. I'll be back on this soon.

 

[Latimius]

Dont worry, I never thought you had forgotten


I saw your dinosaurs, they look pretty good

 

[Gabrelik]

Thanks! Just finished the last one, but I think the color needs some work. The wolves came out nice though.


I'll start working on this battler soon. 

 

[Gabrelik]

So, I've started working this batter, and I'm thinking of including the legs, but having them merge with the ground, almost like volcanoes. Hard to explain, but I think it'll look good. I'm also going to work the fire texture into his hammer, to give the impression of flame given life. Should have something for you by tomorrow.

 

[Latimius]

Nice


Everything's done in the volcano. Only Ragnaro's missing

 

[Gabrelik]

So, not really sure how this thing looks in game yet, but let me know if it will work for you. Feel like I spent a lot more time on this than I would have liked, and it still doesn't quite meet my expectation. Well, practice makes perfect, I suppose.

Ragnaros Battler:

 

[Latimius]

It looks great but maybe it coul be better


Can I have your skype to make communicating easier ?

 

[Gabrelik]

I don't use Skype. You can PM me here, or email Gabrelik@yahoo.com. I can make some minor changes and adjustments, but anything too drastic and we'll need to start looking at a commission. It's definitely a fun project and I'm learning a great deal from it, but I have several other projects open and need to be able to apply my time accordingly. I'll definitely be tweaking it though. There are several things that are bugging me.


Update: 24OCT16


Smoothed out the lines a bit and removed a bit of color on the lat that didn't need to be there.

I think it looks amazing and it's incredibly generous that you are doing this for free.
