art tutorial RPG Art Tutorials

[Hyptosis 18]

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.

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?

You're really good!

I'm sure some people will follow your tutorials!

[Hyptosis 18]

Thanks for the kind words man! Here is the final tutorial on the Ratling Enemies! Mostly covering my speed coloring method for monster sprites in photoshop.

 

Let me know if there is anything specific you guys would like to see that is art related and I'll try to get to it in the future!

Wow, they really look great!

Could you make a parallax mapping tutorial?

What I want is to make a city based on animation series and this will be a lot of work. Do you have any tips, that would make this process easier and faster?

[Culai 51]

I second that Rikifive! I would love a parallax mapping tutorial!

[Hyptosis 18]

Here is another monster I did for the interior of the cave. I try to show how to build monsters form prefabbed parts as quickly as possible. I'm going to try to do some map stuff next, thanks for a recommendations!

[Culai 51]

Wow looks super cool!

[Hyptosis 18]

Thanks for checking them out guys! Means a lot to me. Here is my newest one, it's VERY simple though. I didn't get to the paralaxing one yet. ;_;

By watching this video, a new suggestion appears:

Could you do a tilesets tutorial?

I mean setup tileset and make a map of it (for example that cave).

I haven't used tiles yet, as I'm making parallax maps.

A quick tutorial how tiles work and making a map of them would be something good to watch for me. =P

Awesome, I'll make a tutorial first thing when I start my next new area!

Hey, just went through and watched all these, and checked out your Youtube channel. Great stuff! I like how quickly your able to make your assets and they end up looking great in game.

But, yep, along with the others, I'd love to see a Parallaxing video! 

 

(Also, seen you posted up a video of some New Vegas, that just made you a 110% more awesome in my book). ^^

Thank you so much! I'm a bit of a sloppy artist, but I've learned a lot of quick tricks over the years from being so impatient myself and working with other more skilled creators. Also Fallout rocks! <3
