Heyo everyone, my name is Akaroku, - Real name is Kirk, - also known as Redwyn from the RMRK forum. It's nice to meet you all and sorry it took so long to post something.
I'm usually a quiet person, especially on forums. Though I tend to speak my mind a lot on certain topics and subjects so I might participate in something here. :tongue:
My ability in the game making community? I have seven or so years in Pixel art experience, though I'm still young. I basically started spriting when I was 10, like a lot of other noobs, on Sonic sprites. Slowly it evolved as I found places like BYOND and RPG Maker communities and found that I liked spriting and I improved on it. Majorly in the past 2 years, I might say. I look at myself to be a mediocre spriter, but I can improve vastly just by looking at something and finding out how to do it.
Example:
I used to make my RPG Maker XP sprites with the arms closer to the body and not like the regular RTP, and lately I've been trying to make my sprites look more like it came from the RTP itself.
Few Month Old Cloud Sprite:
Improved One [Still working on improving it]:
And here's a random Knight armor I did lately:
As you can see, I still have a lot of improvement to do. At least to myself anyways, I'm a perfectionist to my spriting so it's never good enough for me XD I want to get to a professional level so I'll be trying my best to improve.
But I would also like to learn scripting, mostly for RPG Maker XP. Oh... and mapping... since, well, yeah. Not much experience in either XD I might try my hand at creating tilesets one day, but I want to focus on characters and their animations first.
If anyone would be interested, I'm willing to teach someone on how to sprite in exchange for helping me understand scripting. Though, I doubt anyone would take up on that deal since there are tutorials on here. So I should just get my lazy ass to go look at em X]
Hopefully I won't be much of a bother here, I plan to participate to the best of my ability, and I hope to make some new friends. :P
P.S. For anyone that's interested, once I improve Cloud's sprite, and complete his other suits such as from FF7, FF7AC, KH1, etc, I'll post him up here when I feel like it's good enough XP
