Seeking monster statue tiles for MV

[Amenti]

I did a little google searching for statue tiles but found out that there are not too many monster-related ones. I'd like to request some because it would be neat to use some in my project. As long as they are monsters and not angels, etc. I'll be happy to use and give credit. Here is a list of what I'd like to see, from most desired to not too desired.

1. Gorgon statue, or Medusa
2. Gargoyle
3. Lamia
4. Demon
5. Mandragora (I prefer if it's a half female waist up, half plant from waist down)
6. A dark hand with long fingers, sharp nails and an evil open eye in the palm.
7. Skeletal standing body in the form of a warrior, holding any type of weapon.
8. Any other monster you can think of, there are so many.

I thank anyone who helps me in advance.

Edit: By the way, I tried making statues myself, but I fail at art, so that's why I request.

I could be willing to do a simple task like this:


for the RTP Charsets.. I am not skilled enough to create custom works.. but I may be interested in converting several more in this style..
Hope this helps.

EDIT: Posted a start in MY SHOP.

Those are actually kinda neat. I really like them, especially the first one, which looks custom made. The other two I can see how you did it, and even though it looks simple enough turning character sprites into statues, they still seem like statues and would go rather good on a player's game who'd want to have hero-like statues of the party, or other characters. Are those free to use? If you want to give it a try with the ones you think you could make, then go right ahead. Hey, I'm gonna try to make one like your style, see what you think of it.

I like the ones you added in your shop.

The first one was using a couple of custom sprites from folks here on the forum, I am too sleepy to recall whom they are from..

So, the naked torch boy riding a dragon is called a gargoyle. But I feel that's a bastardization, especially to associate it with fire, since gargoyles are rain spouts. That's why they're called gargoyles. They make gargling sounds.
When they're not drain-spouts the correct term is Grotesque or Chimera, and if they're carved into the keystone of an archway or vaulted ceiling they're called a Boss. Yes, that's why you have to escape from a collapsing building when you defeat a Boss; they are load bearing.
You'll often see Gorgon heads as keystones. Grotesque all represent some kind of hybridization of transformation, see?

You're going to have to specify what your expectations of a gargoyle should be. I know Disney's Gargoyles are pop culture icons that have probably influences people's expectations.
And maybe too, explain how you want to use the statues.

I've been playing around with some new techniques and have been experimenting with statues, so here's a couple using them.

would this be something you're looking for?

 

[Amenti]

Wow, you left me speechless. Yes, that's what I was looking for. Thank you, and great job on them.

There are a few in the following threads but you have to spot them^^

Whtdragon's tiles (look at Inner tiles, dungeon...)
Cyanide has a few here.
Avy has a couple covered with ice.

I did look at those, I'm just terrible at importing them. lol I made a new sheet with tiles I wanted to use, but when I tried to use them, the tiles did not show, only the default ones, the ones I added were left out. I'll figure it out, eventually.

 

[Sharm]

Well, you either need to change which map set the map is using or you need to tell the program which tilesheets belong to which map set.

 

[Amenti]

Yeah, I checked that, but still no luck. I noticed that in the tile folder there are also other files with the tile names, files that open up with a writing program, like Notepad. What is that all about? I am guessing that's necessary for the tiles to work?

 

[whtdragon]

notepad files aren't required to get the tiles working. Tileset sizes are the main thing to keep in mind. If you make your tilesets too long, they'll get cut off.

Here's more statues! I'm pretty sure I've got all the main ones, but I might be missing some. Threw some extras in. Tried to get them close to the MV style but you know \o 3 o/ some of it's hit and miss! lol

For the gargoyle, whtdragon already delivered what I was looking for, basically just a winged, horned, scary-looking monster.

The use I have in mind for the statues are for temples, shrines or dungeons; these type of statues make the places look a lot more creepy, or eerie.

Oh dang! These look amazing. I have to thank you again since you delivered all that I was looking for, even the hand with the eye. Really, amazing work here. These'll surely make some temples or dungeons look spooky. Oh, and thanks for clearing that up about the notepad files. I will try and get the tiles to work now that I have some free time.

Edit: Got the tiles to work. So that's how it works? I was looking in the Resources option and not the Database tiles, which is where you can add them.

Which one is miss? I can't tell! Great work once again. They're real beauties!

@whtdragon are they all created by you? and if there are some edits from others in them what are the terms?
