Hi there! Your work is absolutely fantastic - thank you so much for sharing it.

I'm planning my first (hopefully) commercial game through GameMaker Studio, and am wondering if you're okay with people using your graphics in non-RPGMaker engines? Of course, I'm more than happy to go through the normal process of showing you the game near completion, in order for you to make the final decision closer to release. I just want to check if there's anything prohibiting the use of your graphics in other engines as a general rule.

(Also, I'm hoping to sync-up the planning for my game with the work I'm doing for a university worldbuilding class. Is it okay for me to use your graphics in a worldbuilding document, for academic purposes? And with accompanying credit, of course!)

Again, your art is amazing, and it's so cool that you're making it available for game design.

Thank you so much, Thalzon! You're amazing.

This wee rounds off the drow battlers and also includes some demonic vargouilles. Vargouilles are human heads that tear off their bodies and grow their ears into wings. They fly around and spread their curse to others they bite.

It has been awesome to see the army of Drow fill out and I am amazed at your ability to come up with so many different costumes designs for them. I particularly love the web cloak on the latest drow queen. I can hardly wait to see what new interesting monsters you come out with next week!

 

[Thalzon]

Another two weeks have come and gone. Today, I present an expanded roster of illithids, also known as mind flayers. These ones are slightly more brutish than the norm, and also feature a large, four-armed illithid leader. Enjoy.

 

[Guardinthena]

I was not expecting the female Illthid but I am loving it so much! Great work as always!

 

[RivalRamen_Games]

OOH! Me likey!
In all seriousness, they kinda remind me of D&D, which I absolutely LOVE! The style is very amazing, and you managed to capture the uniqueness of each and every monster's sprite!

Today marks the end of the Underworld expansion. It has gone on far, FAR longer than I anticipated -- over a year! -- But today the master file is updated and we showcase the last few battlers. We've got a lot of heads rising from the ether or slithering around like slimes, and a dark ball of evil -- the Underworld God boss battler. I'm gonna take a short break, and then we will begin on a new set -- the Swamp.

I love the more macabre battlers and HOLY MOLY that underworld god boss!! Amazing!!!

 

[Guardinthena]

The Underworld expansion has been amazing, and what a genius cherry tipper to drop the Underworld God battler! Perfection!

Excited to see what the Swamp expansion will be!

 

[Thalzon]

Well that was a nice break where I did not stop working at all. Hope everyone had a lovely holiday season this year. I meant to update yesterday but events conspired to keep me from my computer until late. In any case, today is the first day of "swampy" monsters.
We're starting off with a few odd cat creatures, and some swamp gas clouds. The cat with the striped tail is a Tailypo, a creature whose tail is said to be both enormous and delicious. The odd bipedal cartoon cat is a Morksugga, a creature that, despite it's cartoonish appearance, is very much a classic troll. It lives under bridges and eats children.
As for the swamp gas, clouds with faces cover quite a few weather-related deities, but these are meant to be simple Zephyrs. Enjoy.

 

[KurayamiBlackheart]

wow ! Amazing job ! Just found out about these ressources, my man you are really putting your heart on this project !
can't wait to see how the swamp expansion will turns out !

 

[Saireau]

Love the Morksugga!

 

[Thalzon]

This week's update has some demonic babies and some flying lizards. The demonic babies are Tiyanak, which are vampires from the Phillipines. The lizards are Jaculus (or Iaculus, pronounced Ee-ak-yoo-lus), small dragons from Greek mythology, also called Javelin Lizards. Enjoy.

 

[Dimanda]

Awesome as usual I especially like seeing something from the Philippines, any chance we could see a Asian themed set from you, not just Japanese but various Asian myths?

 

[Thalzon]

There are a variety of asian-themed monsters in the pipeline, but whether they are going to happen sooner or later remains to be seen. There are a couple more in the swamp set, so you'll see them in the coming weeks.

 

[Guardinthena]

Loving the flying lizards! Also, fun fact! The Jaculus aren't mythological at all! A real life species of flying lizards exists in the tropical rainforests of India and Asia and are named Draco Volans. They are about the size of someone's hand and are adorable!
