Hello, everyone! My name is Kiyasu Oka, and I am a professional illustrator and entrepreneur from Taiwan. I can speak and write in English, Japanese, and Mandarin (Traditional Chinese), and I do translation work as well. Maybe a good portion of people here may already recognize me. If you recognize me, you can say hi to me... always good to see familiar faces! I am a Taiwanese who kind of lived all over the world when growing up. I was born in Quito, Ecuador, move to Taiwan for kindergarten, to Italy for five years for elementary school, to the United States for 1.5 years for middle school, to Taiwan for about 3 years for the remaining of junior high school (middle school) and first semester of (senior) high school, then to Argentina for the remaining of my high school years. I returned to Taiwan since college days, attending the most prestigious university (National Taiwan University) as a mathematics major. I stayed in Taiwan for the rest of my adult life ever since then. I am a part of what I call the "VX Ace club," a term I started saying in referring to anyone who is firm to sticking to VX Ace forever. I do own the full license for MV and MZ as "just in case" purchases but basically never used them. I like VX Ace so much, and will never jump to MV or MZ. I like the lightness of the engine and how it can already do so much beyond what I thought. I also like that people who don't use the latest machines can run VX games. My main computer is a Windows XP one modified from Windows 7, but I also have other computers. I like Windows XP and I don't own a smart phone. My Web site (home page) is at http://www.kiyasugreen.com where you can find my illustration works, and I have a profile at the official site of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. The game I'm currently developing is an LMBS-RPG (Linear Motion Battle System Role-Playing Game), with my friends like Barry Leitch, Lani Minella, and Tim Haywood and others in the staff. It's still in its very early stages (no spoilers), but I look forward to working on it in the years to come! My favorite Tales of games are Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut (PS2), Tales of Destiny 2 (PS2), and Tales of Eternia (PSX). I also like Tales of Rebirth (PS2) and Tales of Phantasia (PSX). LMBS is the battle system used in many Tales of games. I have accounts on Discord (kiyasu#7060), Itch.io, YouTube, and Steam, and if anyone would like to add me in any of these places, please feel free to do so. No need to ask me. I will most likely add anyone back as long as I can figure out where you might have found me, or if we have any mutual contacts. Introductions are unnecessary and I'll probably do the homework myself. If I don't add you back, it's most likely I missed your invitation and, in this case, simple e-mail me or send me a private message about it. I like networking with people when I can. My e-mail address is: kiyasu [at] kiyasugreen.com Lunar New Year kind of just passed, but I would like to attach my illustration greetings to this post! Happy Lunar New Year! Kind regards, Kiyasu

Well, I’ve never posted anything before, so HELLO, my name is Ruedefaux, and I am an illustrator that works primarily in narrative illustration and character illustration, mostly my own. I try to work in and practice as many styles as I can to expand my knowledge, so there’s a few different things I can do. I mostly like working in digital painting as my main style of choice, but sometimes I like doing a more cartoony look when I want to kick back and relax. I’ve also been working on my skill in pixel art as of late and would like to maybe go somewhere with that sometime too. ALSO on the side I like to make music under the title “Lolistomp”. I mostly draw inspiration from rave genres (gabber, industrial, jumpstyle being the primary) and classic video games—so I have some 8bit themes in there as well. I make a lot of theme songs for my own characters as it helps me with illustration ideation. I have a website where I host all of these things, so if you’d like to take a look at my work as a whole, you can go into the gallery tab and pick one of the categories. http://ruedefaux.com I also take commissions, so if anyone’s interested, feel free to contact me: http://ruedefaux.com/commission-info Some of my links: https://www.deviantart.com/ruedefaux https://www.artstation.com/ruedefaux https://instagram.com/ruedefaux/ https://twitter.com/Ruedefaux https://www.facebook.com/ruedefaux/ https://soundcloud.com/lolistomp Some examples of my work: Thank you for looking~

We're just putting the finishing touches on the latest version of Ferion and are looking for a graphics artist to assist with the design of the page elements. The right person for the job would of course be rewarded, most likely with shares (the game already makes a small amount of money every month and with the new graphics updates we plan to take this to mobile). We'd love to hear from you, any questions? Thanks in advance, UltimateNewbie

Greetings~ I am an artist, writer, planner & musician interested in helping a solid project or starting one up... art: http://acrology.blogspot.com/ music: http://www.reverbnation.com/hiraether Skills: World Builder: Natural environments with focus on creating niches for real ecosystems. Synthetic techno punk when needed. Built in every RPG Maker, favoring VX, made several incomplete games. Made some huge worlds for Neverwinter Nights & NwN2. love it. World Map 500x500, showing 25% of total map : Systems Theory: I can't code but I understand how to implement the i ching into a time cycle. I am interested in getting it to make roles like D&D, but for time / relationships. VERY interested in figuring out a tarot system to top ultima's. Played multiple mmorpg, everything square & or Enix ever made (lvl 90 Brd, Rng, Blu FFXI), Neverwinters, breath or fires, lufias, etc. etc.. I know what makes a good gaming experience & I need to make something because all the new games fall short; making me sad. ;-; Writer: My favorite fantasy books are The Wheel of Time (waiting on towers =P), Every Tolkien Book, & The Hitchhiker's Guide. IRL I dig Kerouac, McKenna, James Joyce, Dostoevsky, Huxley, etc. I write automatically, so poems, lore, bard songs are specialties. I have a real love for planning epic stories on mindmaps & organizing them elementally. I especially want to speak for the disenfranchized poor in war-torn countries, the mages, the shamans & the druids. I am steeped in world mythos; irish, chinese, japanese, hebrew, buddhism, taoism, tarot, alchemy, etc. Crowley especially interests me: I actually own & have read 777 & Gemantria. I wield it like a philosopher's rosettastone of coincidencia oppositorum. Parallax Artist: these take about 30 minutes in zbrush. They are not photoshopped and are raw to show the Baldur's like style. http://3.bp.blogspot...orest path1.BMP With a little touch-up, texturing, lighting, render & photoedit, these can get very high quality. I like bryce for render lights.. I will post the final later . Illustrator: and i love to draw without the computer.. my drawing is automatic & unplanned inspiration . Yoshitaka Amano is my art hero. More art here: http://acrology.blogspot.com/ Bard Sketch: I cannot draw characters with precision unless they're 8-bit. I am suited landscapes, backgrounds, nature, devices, gears, etc. I currently do NOT draw characters or monsters graphically, but would enjoy illustrating concept work instead or learning how to make them virtually without taking days. Electronica Musician, a.k.a. Hiraether: http://www.reverbnation.com/hiraether Gamer music, electro alternative style. Windows 7 promo song "Vagabond 242 ADHD Indulgence" & MySpace promo song "Gnomish March (live)" artist 2010. Should be everything. Check out my links for more; Nothing for sale, just using them as resumes. All my music & pictures are free to listen to / view. I would really enjoy doing a High Fantasy RPG work in the vein of Dragon Quest, but I also love (TB)SRPG like Baldur's, Dwarf Fortress, Civilization IV Fall Further From Heaven and would be more then happy to be on a project of the same caliber. My render style is very conducive to a map like Baldur's, but higher resolution. A combo JRPG system with SRPG elements / maps would be a great hybrid. I CANNOT do all of these things at once, alone. So I must focus a couple jobs, or work with a team where I can skip around & work on different aspects with people. I am currently unemployed & applying for disability... so I should have some time on my hands. I use RPG maker VX currently & I just got Ace, so I'm learning... actually that's what lead me here. ( )b Please contact me if I fit your team or you have an idea so good we should build a team. -- Oneiromancer Crystal Chamber (parallax):
