The Resource WIP thread 2

[Sharm]

Another merge!  Sorry about the thread, everyone.  I know it must be hard to follow lately.  Hopefully it'll be over soon as all the new people get used to how this forum is set up.

TOS - Comercial and None Comercial use is ok just give me credic for it. (This is far from completed, if enough members like this ill make more sprites.)

White Rabbit

Some more parrallax maping this is what the starting town will be like everything got its own layers

I'll attempt a SV sheet later >< once i figure out what the hero going to look like.

i had to make a new top cause the style is way different and it wouldn't match with the other i posted :3 (hope that ok)

Is this supposed to be a WIP resource or are you making things to share?  Either way that map doesn't belong here.  If it's WIP the rest doesn't belong either.  This section is for sharing finished resources.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to make a new style of characters, from which I'm making a template and this is how it goes so far. (see attached image).

I feel something is weird about that template, specially when is looking left. How I can I improve it?

Thanks!

 

[Shaz]

Merged with Resource WIP thread.

 

[c0sa]

Alright Shaz, sorry, didnt knew.

Made some upgrades to the drawing... what do you guys think now?

PS: Does anyone has a good upload image web page?

@Grandmadeb: I have a child base for MV in my thread. (Can't link to it as I'm on my phone.)

 

[Sharm]

c0sa, your main problem is the intense use of pillow shading.  It makes it hard to see what shapes are working and what aren't.  Go here for a very good explanation of pillow shading and how to avoid it as well as a bunch of other pixel techniques and things to avoid.

@Sharm:

Nice, gonna check that guide to learn a few things. I'm new on pixel art so still got a lot to improve.

I'm trying to make the blue soldier dude from Rm2k for RMMV, any tips so far? I'm using the Rm2k RTP sprite and the Half Kaizer version as reference.

I'm also a complete newb at spriting, go easy on me.

@HonestInnocence - I really like the changes ot the hair, it looks a million times better  

@Bridgeman - I haven't used MV... but all the other RM engines have used an upper left light source so I'm going ot assume MV does as well?  So someone correct me if I'm wrong... the helmet curently has a very pillow shady look to me.  Regardless of the perspective, the featehr thing on the top should cast down a shadow, also you have a very hard outline.  What I've seen from MV the outline seems to have softened quite a bit and there is next to no shading on the metal of the helmet.  Metal has a shine to it thats very important to catch or it will look very dull.
 

 

[Bridgeman]

Maybe I looked too much at the HK version, I'll try a top left light source. The white part is difficult to shade because I have very little space there. And even then I don't really know how to give it a shiny look with only two or three colors.

 

[Sinweaver]

First attempt at making a battler for MV/VXA... still has a long way to go, but I was wondering if it is alright so far?

Thoughts?

Thanks..

 

[Shiroi Akuma]

His sheds and tail and (don't know how the sheds on his lower body called) implying a profile view, while his legs clearly indicate a 3/4 view.  

 

[Sinweaver]

So I am guessing that rotating some of the legs should fix the issue?

I dont exactly have the eye of an artist here..

 

[Archeia]

I think it's a good attempt but his far left leg definitely needs a fix yeah.

 

[Sinweaver]

Thanks for the feedback (both of them).. I'll see what I can do in the morning

@Sinweaver - keep at it. It's a very appealing character.


I have no luck with windows.

Depending on the background tiles they look too light or too pop-out. Sometimes they look really good on one surface but horrid on another.


And the large window at the bottom seems to me like the cross-lines are too bright on this surface.


And the suitablity changes from exterior wall tile to another!!! Am I losing my mind?

 

[Sinweaver]

@GrandmaDeb: Thank you.

About your window, (even though I cant be considered an artist) i feel that the transition between the blue and white is too slow. Maybe it is fine if the glass is see through, but for the glass you can't see through, I feel that Lunarea's window (the one at the bottom) looks good.
