Elemental Temples- UPDATED 12/31 (Time Temple)

162 · 2015-12-31T23:40:34+0900

I recently bought the Essentials DLC and found that it contained two pre-made temples based on elements (forest and ice to be specific). Having always used stuff from this forum and never contributing to it myself, I decided to make some pre-made elemental temples myself using the other elements. CREDITS: I made it a point to use RTP graphics only, so be sure to credit Kadokawa! You don't have to credit me, but if you want to, whatevs. Free to use for both commercial and non-commercial games! TO DO LIST OF ELEMENTS: Holy Grass Snow Mind/Psychic Life Spirit EARTH TEMPLE I tried to go for a geode approach when designing this temple. FIRE TEMPLE Might redo this one later on...I tried to make it appear almost oven-like, but it slowly became a little more like a volcano. You might want to add torches and stuff here! WATER TEMPLE My personal favorite thus far, I went for an ancient Greek garden vibe with this temple This temple is a little bit special, in that I tried to design it in a way that you could use the animated water tiles with the moat around it. (The one on the roof/by the statues...not so much.) Also, if you want to add a little ommph to the waterfalls, there's actually a character in the RTP that's splashing waterfall...well, water. WIND TEMPLE Hardest. Temple. So far. Since something as fluid as wind is hard to convey in still images/architecture, I tried to invoke a sense of flow with swirls in the picture's "movement"/design. (Are those stone clouds? Yeah, I think so...) Went for a duller pallet because any brightness might result in mistaking this for the light/heaven temple. THUNDER TEMPLE Took a lot of inspiration from Secret of Mana's final dungeon. I tried to make it look like a giant, magical(ish) machine. I originally tried to make it so there's cracks in the side the looks like lightning bolts, but I toned them down because it looked too busy. MOON TEMPLE Okay, this is my new favorite temple. I tried to make it one step in fantasy world, another step in space. Also, wanted to make it seem like a giant lantern. (I can only imagine what this would look like with some lighting effects!) I wanted to keep it from being too busy, in that the stained glass is pretty complex balance/detail-wise in itself . LIGHT TEMPLE Went really crazy on the mandalas here... I like to think that the seals and crystals are to "lock down" whatever's inside the temple. DARKNESS TEMPLE Meant to be a dark reflection (no pun intended) of the light temple. I didn't want this to come off as an "evil" temple, per say. Dark always equaling evil annoys me. Rather, it's...edgy. Aggressive. (Personally, I would go here instead of the light temple.) POISON TEMPLE I had so much fun with this one! (The Woodfall Temple from Majora's Mask and various mardi gras imagery was a huge inspiration here.) I wanted to make it appear as though this temple rose from the swamp. (This is one of the temples I'd love to see the exterior in!) METAL TEMPLE I'm a mixed bag with this one in regards of my feeling for it; I liked how it turned out, but feels like something is missing. A lot of Asian inspiration with this one. I tried to imitate the terra cotta army with suits of armor and make the whole thing seem like a fortress. What's more, here's the Asian arch for this temple, if you want to include it. TIME TEMPLE Bit of a snafu here folks! Also credit Yanfly with this temple, in that I used his hourglass icon in this temple! (You can still use this in commercial games!) Anyway, I tried to make it look like a giant clockwork temple (would love to see the inside of it). Was also watching The Matrix...could you tell from the color scheme?

Just to put the suggestion out: How about a "sun temple" to make a match with the Moon temple, which I adore btw?

And since I’m here, I need to say; I adore how creative the creator got; only using stuff from the RTP with details from here and there.

Extra kudos for the Moon, Time and Poison temples. The moon one looks like it came out of a magical land. The other two surprised me because I have never seen their theme made out for RPG Maker.

I’m just mentioning the ones who stood out the most for me, but every temples has his own charm. I mean, look at that air temple…

Seriously, great work!

Hey,
These are awesome, great work!
I was wondering if its possible to have a few specific things on the darkness temple. I am bad at creating artwork or I would try myself, the star at the door is awesome and would love to have one that closes off and is a complete circle to be able to pate on the floors throughout the inside of the temple. Would be appreciated if possible, but either way I will be using these, thanks again!

Holy popsicles! I can't wait to see the others you're working on. It actually so happens that Moon is its own element in my AU. Life and Psychic should be cool too when they're finished. Also I'd love to see a Dragon Temple or even a Stellar Temple. Keep up the awesome work!

Your sets look exactly what I could need for my project, I just wonder, why didn't you make a tileset but instead already "finished" buildings?

Hey guys! Sorry I didn't respond! (Apparently I'm not getting message alerts via email anymore...)

Anyway, because the forum went through a change, I think the pictures might now have carried through. (Happened last forum change.) I'll get right onto it, but all the temples so far!

UPDATE: Temples have been reuploaded on the first post. The next temple might take a while. I recently started a new job and my Photoshop license lapsed. Will take about a week or so to get thinks back up and running!
Are you still working on this line? its been a long time it looks like since your last update.
:95:
Hope you come back soon... love your temple styles so much!
