Floating Book Sprite

  1. Hey guys. One of my main characters is a floating book. No face or anything. Just a book. But he floats, similar to a moving crystal sprite, slightly bobbing in the air. Additionally, having a page-flipping motion would be ideal.

    Does anyone know of anyone who has made something similar / Is anyone up to the task of making this? 
  2. Give me one hour (or less) to see what I can come up with. I am not going to guarantee anything, since I have only edited 3 other sprites before, but if you like it, use it!

    EDIT:
    So, this is my rough draft. I was going to finish it up, but my son came to me and he really wants to go to the park. If you are not in a hurry for these, I can have them done by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, but most likely sometime tonight. Let me know what you think. I only managed to do yellow so far, in two different motions, I was going to do a test model of a 3rd motion, see which one fits best. The yellow one bobs up and down :)  This was a rough draft

     This is what I am going to do for final. If you have any particular color from this sheet you would like, let me know, because editing the whole sheet is going to take a lot more time than i had thought.

    I wont be able to edit the colors very well, but I could try if you want a different color book. Remember: Credits go to Gmork, I just made them fly :p http://rpgmaker-vx-ace.de/board52-spieleentwicklung-maker-%C3%BCbergreifend/board17-ressourcen-tools/board51-ressourcen-showcase/301-gmorks-ressourcen-editsammlung/
  3. Thank you all so much. Both of those pages have a lot of good tiles to use.

    And extra special thanks to philteredkhaos. Those sprites are exactly what I'm looking for! :D
  4. Here is a full-on set of Gmorks books, Flying!

    I don't mean to pat myself on the back, but I am not much of a GIMP artist... those look pretty good. I didn't see anything on the original page about editing the work of Gmork or not, but these might end up coming down. The site is in german, and i am trying to contact him via google translate. Lets hope it doesnt offend :)
  5. You are allowed to edit my graphics as long as you don't forget the credits.

    My first language ist german, but I can speak und write english too. You dont need to use

    google tranlator to communicate with me.^^
  6. Ok, sorry Gmork! Thank you! I for some reason couldn't find your profile on this site. Also, what are the terms of use for your sprites? Commercial? Non-commercial? Both? I don't do commercial yet, but one never knows...

    @Jocho, if it's not too late, I edited those books again, I noticed some of them were off center of the shadow. Hopefully these line up a little better!

  7. Hey @UNphiltered_khaos , @Jocho and @Gmork , I wondered, how would you make make it so that you have an event with those book sprites which opens from one side then closes from the other (pages) in a loop?
