In addition to several years of RPG Maker experience, I also have experience with the 3D modeling program Blender. I've used it for several different parts of my own game, Ancients Forgotten, to experiment of what 3D actually looks good in RPG Maker. The main two seems to be titles, because it's a large image to show all of the details, and battle animations, as particle explosions and things still looks good with a 192 x 192 size.
Titles
With titles, they look great, but take a lot of time to make, so if you want a title screen, please give me a link to a concept thread at least to show that you've put a lot of effort into planning and/or making your game, and it's not some idea you came up with as you were reading this thread, and a game that will end up going nowhere.
If you need a logo as well, I'd suggest requesting one from another person here on the forums; as there usually seems to be a few people willing to design logos. I'll just slap it on the finished render, positioning, scaling, rotating, etc. however you like.
Update for titles:
Sometimes titles are a lot of work to complete, and with my own game I want to spend time on as well, I'm going to have to probably stop making titles for free. PM for details if you would like to hire me. The price will depend on the size and difficulty of the scene, but I'll be happy to help with ideas to have it not be too much work but still be pretty. :biggrin: But it won't be too much regardless; the main reason for the price addition is to decrease my workload rather than to make money.
My completed titles:
Battle Animations
With battle animations I will consider all requests. These are really only limited to spells and magic without character animation involved. If you're using a sideview script or something and need a character animation for the skill, then that's more pixel art, not this.
Here's a youtube video of the animations I have made so far. They are roughly in the order I've made them, so the better ones will be at the end. All of them except bolt use only RTP sound, so they can easily be copied to and from games.
The spells are Fireball, Ice, Bolt, Earth, Heal, Crush, and Blaster.

The black edges around the blaster have been fixed prior to the youtube video, but it's a lot of headache to make another.
Battle animations usually aren't something that hinders game development if you don't have one, so it's ok if you didn't have anything in mind before you read this thread.
When you request for one, just be as specific as possible, such as about how long the animation should last, colors, the elemental effect, sounds you want, etc.
Also, try to avoid requesting "Ice 2" or "Thundaga" or something of the sort, as larger spells of the basic elements I will get to doing myself at some point. The spells I've already done, Fireball, Ice, Bolt, Earth, and Heal will all have at least three variations of stengths later, and probably two or three others that are made to hit all enemies.
The file size for these animations are usually between 200kb and 500kb. Bolt's just 92kb since its quick. Blaster, however, is 3.8mb because I split it into four quadrants to have a large animation while still keeping the resolution looking good, plus it's long.
Feel free to critique what I already have made as well! :thumb:
