Hey - I've decided to open up commissions for chibi characters. If you have a question, or would like to make a request, feel free to contact me. Rules: 1. Credit is required 2. I take payment through Paypal only. 3. References are optional, but appreciated. Note: finished drawings (full-body) are roughly 1000px tall. If you'd like a specific size, please let me know beforehand. ^^ Pricing: Color Options: 1) No Color: A black/white drawing 2) Flat/Gradient Coloring: The image is filled with color, but not shaded 3) Cel-shading: The image is filled with color, and then has some simple shading applied Samples: Note: Additional samples can be found here.

There are several different answers to these questions from several different sources. As one or two of you may know, I'm focusing on art right now before I begin to actually work with the game software itself, since that requires me to essentially learn an entirely new field, but I have experience in art and storytelling. So, I'll have specific questions over the next month or so concerning pixel art (since the general questions have mostly been answered). 1. What is the difference between a "character portrait" and an "emotion sheet"? Is the latter the technical term for it? I'm aware that the latter is generally 384x192, consisting of eight portraits, but I've so far been unable to differentiate between these two terms. For example, this is an early version of my male character's "emotion sheet" (or whatever it may be called): And here's an example custom (I think) "emotion sheet" I've found online: These are so different that I'm not sure whether I'm doing something incorrectly. Would it be wiser to create a fuller portrait first, and then crop and edit the face region? Or does my version look stylized enough that a normal player would find it permissible (and hopefully not amateur)? 2. I've found "emotion sheets" that are different dimensions. Would this cause a technical problem in the game, and is it wise to continue using the dimensions I'm using? 3. Is there any critique you could give me about my attempt at an "emotion sheet?" It seems to be profoundly more pixellated than the other example image, and although that's passable, since the style of the game is rather pixelly, but I'd prefer some kind of smoothness to the image as well, and I've tried several types of color variation and shading, but this is the best result I've gotten so far. I don't have professional instruments. Thank you for reading my post.

Hi guys! I am working on an rpg, and some friends where asking if I'd show them how I was doing some of the stuff I've been doing for the game. So I thought I'd record them and make a little tutorial of my workflow. I'm not the best at this, I've never made tutorials before so I'm learning as I go, but I'd love to share them wit you guys if you're interested. The audio isn't very good in the first two, but the 3rd and 4rth are much better, and I'll continue to provide more from here on as I progress on my own project. BATTLE BACKGROUND 1 - BATTLE BACKGROUND 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsm5Cwsds_g RATLING BATTLER 1 - RATLING BATTLER 2 - I'll do more later, if there is anything specific you'd like to see let me know and I'll try to touch on it. Thanks for looking! Also, here are some of my old tiles if anyone is interested in them. Feel free to use them in your projects, even projects you plan to sell. Just put me somewhere in the credits! And maybe give me a free copy if you can? http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/hyptosis/ff6-recreated http://opengameart.org/content/lots-of-hyptosis-tiles-organized http://opengameart.org/content/lots-of-free-2d-tiles-and-sprites-by-hyptosis http://opengameart.org/content/mage-city-arcanos http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/hyptosis/sprites-and-tiles-for-you http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/hyptosis/tile-art-batch-5 http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/hyptosis/tile-art-batch-3 http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/hyptosis/til-art-batch-2 http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/hyptosis/tile-art-batch-1 http://www.lorestrome.com/pixel_archive/main.htm << ignore the disclaimer, I need to update the site, everything on this link is free to use too!

Hiya, this may sound like a strange idea.. but does anyone know if it'd be possible to use animated portraits? Basically something in the style of those replace-faces-with-busts scripts, except it can show a looping animation instead of a static picture. So it'd be like... Dialogue box 1: Character is talking, on infinate loop until you click to the next box Dialogue box 2: Now the character is gasping in shock Animated portraits kinda like this sort of thing: If anyone's played the Ace Attourney games, you know what it's like XD I don't know if this is possible through eventing or if it'd only work with a script.. I'm willing to pay to have this script done since I think it's something pretty awesome that'd make games stand out!
