[LEGION] green's Workshop

[green raven]

I think this "pixelwar" is a good effort to revive rmxp's resource section. I only wish I had some more time to contribute..

ps. Am I the only one left opposing ppp?

update: finally something to contribute..

Spoiler: battlescreens

 

[Ocean]

Cool updated breeze trees, they'll be useful to me for testing out these tilesets I'm working on. They're far better than the old ones.

He already has. Check his site. :]

 

[green raven]

exactly..

concepting for some new stuff

 

[Heinze]

What is your method for doing sprites like this one with a hat?
You draw the character first, the you make the drawning dimensions smallers and start to sprite, or you start from the "0", just with a drawning refference?

@Heinze:

I think the sprites are looking pretty nice. What I'd personally suggest is that you try hue shifting the colors a little bit more. Most of your colors seem to just go in a straight light->dark (most noticeable with the green), and I think it'd be interesting if you could push the lighter colors to yellow a bit more and the darker ones to blue/purple a bit, or something to that effect.

 

[green raven]

thanks man. The colors have been taken directly from the rm2k3 sprites.
So I didn't changes hues because this way the sprites will fit with the battlers, and because you could just shift hues in rm2k3.

 

[Ocean]

Yeah, that makes sense. It unfortunately ruins it otherwise if you're doing color changing inside RPG Maker itself.

Also, RM2K3 monsters, good idea. *goes to try some*

 

[green raven]

Well I think it looks quite well when applied correctly.

Also, would be great to see you do some monsters as well. I always felt 2k3 needed pixeled monsters instead of those drawn ones.

 

[TheInquisitor]

Wow, Green Raven, you've gotten better at pixel art! You're not quite there yet, but much improved from a year or so back. I particularly like the slime with the big teeth and the knight. They're very slick pieces. Keep up the good work!

Here's an old piece of yours:

:grin:

 

[green raven]

Thanks man. Wow that thing was hideous! :D
my tip of the day: don't give up.

I don't spend anough time on my sprites :/

filler:

edit:
I'm quite productive when I'm sick

 

[Twirly]

Wow, this looks really awesome green, good job!
But pleeease use imgzoom :thumb:

 

[TheInquisitor]

You're putting these out very quickly. Keep it up and you'll be a master in no time. You're going to have to start moving onto more grander pieces though.

 

[green raven]

@Twirly: I hate imagezoom
@Inq: thanks man, hmm like this one?

I you mean even bigger pieces or scenery.. I'm too lazy for that xD

 

[TheInquisitor]

I like your drawing, design and speed at cracking out pixel art, but I think that one is a bit below your others. Your best are the slimes, the knight and the grim reaper type one. The dragon one was amibitious and a good challenge to take on but it looks undershaded. I know I urged you to do bigger, more demanding stuff and it's not a bad start. The wing looks quite slack to me as well and I think you could do better there. What makes the slime, knight and reaper so good is their crisp shading. They've also got a lot of character to them.

Sprites of that size are a whole different ball game to the others as you have to pixel in more detail, which I don't think you have done.

 

[Ynlraey]

Green your stuff is really great, I specially like the..octopus and slime one.
I do agree with the dragon though I specially love your palettes, that's something I can't seem to get right at all...
