Slim's this and thats -MZ edition-

My two go-to's are the Red-headed Witch (Actor2_6) and the Sea Captain (People2_4). I very often use the MV Witch and the MZ Witch side-by-side, last time as sisters, and the differences are a bit jarring. And there really isn't a suitable sea captain in MZ.

Aaah, but those doors! Really nice to have both versions of all 3. Thank you.

Hope you're having fun doing these, lovely work so far! :kaojoy:

Love the non-magical version of the right door!

@Lady_JJ Oh, those are two very nice characters, especially since MZ lacks a ship captain. Yeah, I've also used MV and MZ characters together for the Harold jam, and it's definitely very noticeable. Happy you like the doors!
@temp444 It fluctuates between fun and stress :kaoswt2: But comments like yours always more than make up for the stress :wub
@SeaPhoenix Thank you! :) I don't know why RPG Maker decided to add a magical version of that one. I don't think I've ever seen anyone use it.

What does the Fox say?
You know how sometimes you write an idea down and then months later when you see, you don't actually remember what you had originally meant by it? Yeah, that's what happened with this day.
Anyway, figured we could transform our Catgirl into a Foxgirl. (It's not exactly what you asked for @TimS42, but hopefully it's useful nonetheless.)




And while I was messing around, I also made some recolours of the catgirl:





Would people be interested in matching faceset/portraits/(SV) battlers for the catgirls or the foxgirls?

The foxgirls came out great. I love having all the different options of animal characters for our games. Great work!

These are great! I, for one, would definitely be interested in facesets and battlers for them.

So I guess we'll never know what the fox says? :wink: Love the fox girl!

So now the cait sith is joined by a kitsune. I might just have to use this in that MZ project I have laying around…

Battlers of these would definitely be nice. I'm not sure whether I'd use them myself though. I think I probably wouldn't. Portraits on the other hand, I'd probably use.

I can't with the Day 1.
The little lily pad hats?
They are the sweetest little water spirits. I would give them a little lighting FX glow about them.

Great Fox sprite! I actually already used your ears from your Catgirl sprite to make Stinkor, I have to double check the terms before I share with the community (don't want to repeat my Day 5 debacle). Your work is great!

@GalacticGod Maybe we should have a whole village of them :D
@crimsyncrow Thank you :wub I'll definitely do faceset/portraits then. Just can't promise it will be for this Advent. :aswt:
@SeaPhoenix I guess not xD Thank you :wub
@Solar_Flare Happy to hear she's useful. :D
@M.I.A. Aww, I'm happy to hear that. She came out looking better than I thought she would
@TimS42 Thank you :D The ears are just from the default MZ resources, so you can use them just fine :)

Send in the Clowns
Happy Saint-Nicholas Day to all! I hope everyone who celebrates today (or celebrated it yesterday) has/had a great time!
As always I try to make something related to the holy man and the traditions here that is still useful to the greater audience. This year after racking my brain I came up with 'circus performers'.
Now I hear you asking: What does that have to do with Saint Nick? Honestly, not much. It's just a local custom (or is 30 years long enough to be considered a tradition?) that a circus comes and performs a special Sinterklaas-themed show (with Pete's included!). I was planning on having more variety when it came to the performers, but alas I ran out of time just working on clowns.

MZ of course already comes with a clown, but he's pretty scary looking fellow, so I made some teeny tiny adjustments and hopefully he looks less scary now:


Next up, I wanted to have a cute female pastel clown. (Note: do not look up 'pastel clown' if you're scared of snakes. Apparently, it's a snake's breed name. And it doesn't even look like a clown or pastel!:kaoeh:)



And I felt we also deserved a male clown that's not the default one:



Now gotta go and give my niece her gifts.

I see you were really clowning around with this one, eh?

*crickets chirp*

Sorry, I'll see myself out.

I love these clown variations, especially the one with the top hat.

I love the last male clowns. They looks like they might make for some good henchmen for The Joker or something. (Gets me thinking about revisiting my old Batman, Fan RPG Game, I was working on years ago, lol)

I love these. I could see them as a set of triplet crafty merchants. faceset/portraits/(SV) battlers would be much appreciated when you have the time :)

Love the clowns! :D The pastel ones are very pretty.

Clowns with bowler caps?? Totally brings back a little nod to the earlier black and white era of the tv clowns! Love it!

@Sword_of_Dusk Maybe you can join them in the circus :p
@SeaPhoenix Thank you! I tried him out with different hats, but figured the bowler hat was the best option in the end.
@GalacticGod Oooh, I can totally see that. The hair colours for the male ones are definitely Joker-ish. If you ever finish that game, let me know. I'd love to try it.
@vala411 Thank you. They definitely would be great as triplets, huh. :D
@WaywardMartian The pastel one is my favourite as well :wub
@M.I.A. Yup, that's where I got the inspiration from. I even wanted to do a black/white colourway of them, but I ran out of time.

All roads lead to the Wizard
I'm assuming I'm not the only one who went and saw Wicked: For Good last month? Great movie, though Act 1 is better in my opinion and I didn't care too much for the new songs. Still got to hear my favourite Wicked song in this movie (I'll leave you guessing which one it is :p).

I've done the yellow brick road in XP before, so I figured having some yellow brick roads for MZ is a nice addition:




I've also edited some of the world map tiles, so we've got an Emerald City:


I can't believe we're one week in already. I don't know if anyone noticed, but I'm trying to switch between a day with sprites and a day with another type of resource (special days like yesterday excluded from this arrangement). Suggestions are still welcomed, especially for the non-character sprite days.

If you want suggestions for non-character stuff, things that would go in a witch's hut, wizard's lair, or other magical place are always appreciated. Love trying to make maps of magical places.

BTW loved your water fairies! Especially the lily pad and sea star hats on them!

@The_Eerie_One Thank you. Glad you liked the fairies. :) Any (auto)tile in particular you feel is missing while mapping magical places? Or that you wished you had more options for?

Hijo de la Luna
It's been a while, but we're back to a fairy sprite today. Avery's Moon temple resources were quite inspiring (and Spotify playing Hijo de la Luna right after listening to Alegria for day 6 also helped) and I wanted to make a fairy/creature that could be found in such a temple.

Now whether this son of the moon is an ally or enemy I leave up to your imagination ;)
