The Resource WIP Thread

So, I'm working on a cyberpunk/steampunk(something in between) train that I need for the intro section

of the game I'm working on.

I'm **** at pixel art, so frankenspriting is the only real way for me at the moment. So 'tis where I am at the moment:

The project file, the parts split apart for convenience:

This is what it will look like compiled, and in game:

Appart from parallax mapping, this is probably the most "complex"(not that it's all that complex lol) thing I've done so far since getting into rpg maker...

EDIT:

Noticed that the cart junction parts at the end of the train are slightly unalligned, but never mind that at the moment lol.

@hian

Your train looks so beautiful!

It reminds me of FF7

Thanks a lot! My game is a throwback to the psx jrpg era, and a sort of alternative universe retelling of FF7, so that's basically what I was going for. I'm glad it didn't go unnoticed.

If you like it, keep an eye on the screenshot thread in the general section - I'll soon post a screen with the train intro scene.

So, took a step back and evaluated what Jalen said; stick to a light source and try out heavier shading. Plus a few colouring tips from a few people~ Thoughts?

Making Gothic and Moorish,Arabic etc arches, and window and walls. Seems to work good in Rpgmaker VXAce with passage set.

More to come, now that I have worked out to get them fairly right.

I will make them with moss etc.

With a little bit of work whole, walls can be made by inserting parts of the arches with the mouse.

@hian Thats pretty awesome for frankenspriting!

Gonna be in agreement with Venere and say, yeah it does have a FF7 essence on it, and I really am impressed with how clean it looks for a franken.

Anyway~

I'm at a loss for logos at the mo'. I decided to bring a few logo's over, so you can help me decide on one. I particularly like the "Retro-styled" one + the one in the Zelda font.

All feedback is welcomed and encouraged!

First sprite dudes!   

 

[cosmickitty]

working on skins for the template I just finished, somewhere around 120 frames for the whole sheet:

*edit*

since no one else has posted, working on a template i'm actually going to release, here's the front frames. Plan for it to have walking, dash, idle, and possibly some battleish animations... maybe a item pick up one idk.... i'm open to suggestions


 

 

[Digital_Raze]

Working on my first VX sprite in awhile. What do you all think?

Edit: Added enlarged image

Edit 2: Made a half kaiser version; took a few liberties on the design

 

[cosmickitty]

not sure i follow what it is... is it a tiki looking person?

 

[Digital_Raze]

It's Ornstein from the game Dark Souls :]

 

[cosmickitty]

ah, no wonder i couldn't figure out where the face was supposed to go

looks pretty good to me, only thing i'd change is to break up your lineart some where the light would hit.  Maybe make the lighting source a little clearer, but it's hard to tell without a zoomed in version

First attempt at spriting. I'm using Archeia's template.

Haven't done the up direction yet as I am still trying to work out how I want the back of the hair to look.

Just prettying up some portraits for my main project. Haven't work on it in a loooong time. Made this in the generator, then doubled the size. It was really muddy, so I had to go over the whole thing tightening up lines and adding details. I figure, since I can't draw them from scratch, that I'll do this for all main characters, and do some emo sets for each. Still have quite a bit more tweaking to do on this one, but I think it's looking good so far.

@Levi:

You may want to use the sharpen filter/tool just a bit, as it still seems a tad blurry to me:

(My edit's on the left)

Other than that, really great job!

Holy crap that's awesome! Thanks!

I am... not used to working at tiny resolutions. It's taking some adjustment, but I've been trying to slowly start on some cute decorative stuff before getting to sprite hell. XD

 

[Digital_Raze]

Finally got around to making Ornstein walk. Does it look alright?

Also

@Levi - That's a nice face graphic ;o

@Marian - I really like those tiles

 

[ShinGamix]

@hain A train WHOA BAdass!!! Nice work!

 

[??????]

@ CosmisKitty - Liking those sprite's the little one at the top right (looks like its punching) is cool

@ hain - that train reminds me of the Final Fantasy 7 start intro train. good job
