Now theres a contrast in styles... very unique man but does it look good with actual characters on it thats the questionn

[Prpl_Mage]

Just awsome, but there is a blue and white box behind the "leg" of the nearest hut. And some different variations of the plants would make it perfect.

[Meiscool-2]

This might sound Ironic coming from me, but I think you've got to much going on in that last screen.

[Ben]

Lol.

Theres a newer version with some edited tiles in the screenshots thread. check that. Ive blended it a bit better, allthough I agree fully in regards to this map

[Dominicy]

that stuff is awesome! :O

[Ben]

So Ive been trainingm myself to use the Grphics tablet I got over the holidays.

Its alot of fun, now that I have the hang of it, and Ive been trying to try my hand at sprites and chipsets.

Most of what I came up with was awesome as hell, but I had got carried away. I dont have the patience to spend a week on one chipset...So I took the advice of Mr. HellsAngel. Ive been making chips and sprites to look like theyu were hand sketched, and Im doing this all in black and white. Its a fast process in this style, as its alot more forgiving and I can go freestyle with minimal restrictions this way.

Anyhow, I figured Id put a couple on my USB drive, and post them.

In a couple of weeks Ill have high-speed again, And Ill start my old Genia thread back up. The whole style of the game is getting changed over to the hand drawn look.

The sprites are oversized here...and the man-sprite hasnt been cleaned up like the girl yet. I still have to trim his edges and stuff.

[Ben]

and the girl

EDIT: I should probably mention that these are RTP edits. But theyre just NPCs. The Main Characters of the project are Origonal.

[Ben]

So, My previous attempts at XP chips have left me dissapointed. As a result, Ive battled a horrible addiction with crystal meth, and penis eating for sandwich money.

After the desperation wore off, I made this.

Its a bare bones mountainy chipset. Im going to use this as a base for the chipsets to be made in the future. Id post a screen, but i dont feel like it right now....

but the chips look sweet when used right.

The chars in this project are oversized so everything is congurent.

Ive scrapped the black and grey.

[Ben]

yep. new stuff

[drenrin2120]

Wow dude, those are really fuckin' cool. The only problem is the sprite doesn't seem to match it when it comes to angle. Otherwise, excellent job.

EDIT: Oh, and maybe try putting in a face, that would top it off as perfect.

[Ben]

Img glad you like it. I spent the better part of yesterday getting a copy/paste page of generator like things ready....
But Im not sure If these sprites are useable.

I think I may need a slightly more Airial-view Sprite format.
Its not really congruent with the Chipsets....

I dunno....What do you dudes think?

EDIT:Yeah, Faces are coming....I was just kindof preoccupied getting the bulk stuff done.

Does anyone have any suggestions on How I can make the sprites look more congruent without redoing the bases from scratch?

Or perhaps a decent Sprite template I can use as a base, to edit, with a better top down feel that isnt RTP?

Size is not an issue. I can Resize and edit

[Ben]

Ive tried making a different sprite base, In hopes that it matches the chips, In camera-angularity...



Does this positioning look better, or is the difference too subtle?

[ZeroKirbyX]

I think maybe shrinking the torso would make it seem to be seen from more of an angle.

[Ben]

Noted. Thank you sir.

Anyone else?

[Ben]

A random Picture.

I was messin with the airbrush tool, and my Graphics Tablet.

If anyone wants to use this for a picture or monster....Go hard...
Im not even worried about credit.
