TheInquisitor's tiles is very high contrast. Usually you want the background to be lower contrast for character visibility.
It doesn't mix well with rpg maker's softer rtp colors. IMO, to separate the sprites they'll need to be handled differently. Black or white boarders. Sharper contrast between light and shadow. I'm kinda fond of the middle set but Idk how that'll look with real details like faces and clothes.

I kinda want neapolitan ice cream now...
Edit: New flavors. Mint Chocolate chip, Cookies 'n Cream, And Caramel Swirl sundae. I'm totally making a template based on icecream now

You might have a little bit of fun with this one but I'm no artist so I wouldn't know.

My thumb on my drawing hand has been swollen for the last couple days. Not exactly sure what it was but I couldn't grip anything. Had to do everything with my off-hand. But Today it's just a little stiff so I could get back to work.

@Melanii: Is this something along the lines of what you want? Square-ish icons.



I'll wait till baghead_jackson comes back before I do anymore with this prison bus.

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

Yup, that's correct! I like the first "talk" icon you showed!

 

[ZenVirZan]

A black bandanna icon would be nice to use as a stealth icon. (24x24)

 

[coyotecraft]

Rik thsi?
Or this

 

[ZenVirZan]

The third one is perfect. Hot damn you did that fast, thank you :lol:

TALK

USE

LOOK
Here you go Mel. I feel like the hand could use some more work.

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

Thanks!

It's so weird to be called Mel after being called Strawberry on here for years! XD

That looks spot on so far :D. Exactly the sort of thing i meant.

Mini world map version is especially awesome.

@rey: I'm going to pass on making a new template.

@baghead_jackson: How badly do you want that bus? I'm flaking out.

So no hard feelings about the template. It's a lot of work. But you've still done me a huge favor. I've shaded, somewhat reshaped, and drawn faces onto the first of your three templates, and I want to know what you think. I also made a left-facing version that I think would work better as a down-left version. See spoiler below for the sprites on a map with my WIP modifications to the tileset.

What do you think? Good shading? Enough contrast? Would you do it differently?

 

[coyotecraft]

The face is kinda high. If it was a straight-on view it would be perfect but we have a high viewing angle so that makes it look like he looking up at us instead of forward. So I'd bring the face down a little which will lose the mouth in the process.

This is how I make chanting/singing sprites who would otherwise be standing still. With their faces up, and changing mouth shapes .o0o. I think FFVI does this for the laughing expressions. Tilting the head back.

The side-view. First impression is that he looks kinda flat. I'd give him a neck and probably curve his front out a bit. The second thing (which is a really easy mistake) is the lighting on his head. You didn't just turn him sideways, you also moved the light source. He has a big shadow on the right side now.
