Since then I've improved in what I can do and what I'd like to see this project be. It's now in it's third and final version and I've combined all my knowledge to start as a means to go on. First goal I've set it to have a basic set of enemies and a full set of bases containing 15 classes! Each will have two different weapons available giving some nice alternative classes which will double the total class range to 30. Spoiler: How they work Actors and Enemies will follow the same style and format so they can even be used as either depending on your preference. I've created this to be as flexible as possible. Also with that the format style is not to that of any default RPG Maker engine, reason for this is that the engine keeps changing what's default. So outside scripts and plug-ins are always required to use these. I've started creating guides and help to use these in whatever engine you're using. If you'd like to submit your own guide (Video or Text) I'm open to submissions. Thank you and enjoy. Spoiler: Examples The best way to show your weapons in battle! Have them seen all the time during the fight and simply equip different weapons to see the difference in battle! Once set up adding new weapons is easy and so effective on your players. Give every weapon their own unique look in battle, from swords to guns, there's thousands of weapons that you can have your party use! 32x32 images for actors and monsters, includes all colour variations and without boarder. Use in battles, save file previews, mini-maps and more. 32x32 weapon icons for every weapon there is! Plus for every weapon there's a single still image file for a close look at the weapon. Use in menus, shops, info books and even in pop up windows when collecting. Single large weapon images for those special shops Character and enemy images come in Portraits, Busts and Face cropped sizes.

Mage or archer will be interesting to try.

Sweet! You weren't kidding when you said you were working on a similar sprite as the one i was trying to get to work haha, can't wait to see Meliadul complete! =)

Update :D

The main post has fully animated thumbnails now, and two new actor battlers. These are based off the RMWeb resource staff release character (Permission was given), he didn't have a name so welcome Vannes:

Check the main post for the full sheet.

Enjoy

He looks great, but I can't help but notice his head is smaller when compared to Adela. Still, awesome stuff.
Holder

Cheers, in regards to the head I think that may be because of the hair. I have a standard head style so I'd put that to Adela's hair being really bushy.

Awesome stuff as usual! Just tried it in game and looks great, nice job Holder! =) Maybe we'll see the Meliadul , Dalmas or Hulen next? XD

Cheers Netsu, I always dread my first play test as I always find that I've got to go back and alter somethings :lol:

Okay I'm posting this at a couple of forums and also in my blog.

Two things I need help with.

1. The 'cover kitty' on the ace cover art doesn't have a weapon displayed and I can't figure out what weapon to give her. I was thinking a dagger but I'm not sure - Any advice? Weapon pictures help.

2.Meliadul - I have the standard DollMage colours and a hair alteration (The red head version), but I'm looking for a different costume colour. I know a lot of variations were created for DollMages battlers but I can't locate any for this one. Help locating one?

Oh cool there's more! Nice work Holder.

I say go with a bo staff instead of daggers, to echo Katt from Breath of Fire 2.

Nice idea and it's made things easier as one of my personal characters had a set up like this, cheers Thalzon.

Hello Holder. Asimole's sheet link is broken :<

#33 May 29, 2012, 07:06 PM Source

Cheers and thanks for that, I've just fixed that. Actually I need to update all the links because they still have shadows on some of them :(

Nelneo, Meliadul has actually been tweaked quite a bit since that shot there. He's been a nightmare to sprite so far because I'm still trying to reflect the original one by Dollmage as much as possible.

I see. Well, knowing your caliber, I'm sure it'll look awesome. :)

You have some beautiful work here. I won't be using any of them, but I have learned that.. Well, if I wanted to get custom sprites made/commissioned, i'd be paying out the behind for all those different stances... Damn. And I thought 16 was a lot >.>
Holder

#36 Jun 6, 2012, 02:25 PM Source

Thank you Shablo. Obvious question I have is, there any reason why you wouldn't consider using them?

I don't do commissions, actually I may need that in my original post because I tend to get asked this a lot. I have at the moment quite a back catalogue of requests waiting to be completed so until those are done I'm not taking on any more, but that's usually how I do custom content.

They do take a tremendous amount of time to do, but if you not wanting to use them is just because you'd like a custom character made then I'd announce it at either my blog or twitter when I'm ready to stock up on more requests. (Yeah I'm terrible at costume design :lol:)

Well, these are so high quality, right? There's a good chance that means it's a prime snipe target of the community. I'm trying to include as much variance into my game as possible, and although I cannot pay for everything to be custom, i'd like to make as much as I can. Therefore i've hired an artist to create concepts/finished designs, facesets, and a spriter to create sprites of those concepts. However in order to use your creations, they'd look completely different from my own creations. And if I wanted to try my hand at this... Well, I think i'm looking at like 40-60$ per sheet. And I just can't afford that, let alone all the battlers that would need to be created.

And in terms of requests, that's very generous of you, but to make it a seamless experience you'd need every character to be animated, right? That's a lot of damn work and I wouldn't expect anyone to do as such.

So hopefully that answers your "Why not?" question. It has nothing to do with them, just my personal goals for my project. Do what I can to make it slightly different.

So if I understand well, Shablo need sprite for a behind view battle system but your battlers, holder are for SBS.
