Back to RPG making after a while of inactivity- I've been lurking this forum for a while ever since RRR and the RMVX site went down but I haven't really been a community participant ;-;

Anyway, though it isn't a proper introduction for the forums, I guess I can say I'm an aspiring concept artist, writer & game designer who works on RPG Maker stuff sometimes.

I'll go by the name of Rei here since it's one of my more common aliases.

 

Here's some military vehicle concepts & avant-garde fashion illustrations for my current project (in addition to the IFV above):

I absolutely love that tank! You got some skills there. Love pixel art. Mines drastically improved over the years but its not quite at that level yet.

The concept art is amazing and so is that tank. I'd pay good money for commissions on both. If you did or are doing animated pixel art that'd be incredible. Nice job, will be looking forward to seeing more.

I tend to find that taking two or three different artists/styles as inspiration goes a long way when it comes to improving; this was actually one of my first attempts at vehicle/machinery spriting though some of the art I found for reference turned out to be really helpful.

Thanks for the words though, good luck to you on your art ^^

Thank you - I don't think I can dedicate to a project at the moment, but feel free to pm details for individual commissions, I should be able to get a few done on the side.

Animating pixels is honestly something I haven't tried yet but I'll definitely start doing it for these vehicle (and character) sprites in the future!

I haven't really looked around for many artists/styles to be inspired from. Maybe that's what i am missing. I usually enjoy doing furniture, grass, water, typical tile-stuff. I am quite good with cyber-neon visuals. My Artwork is still miles ahead of my pixel work. But I am getting there. Problem with being an jack of all trades is having to keep improving all the different areas.

You're very welcome! Thank you.

I REALLY LOVE THAT TANK!

You're really good at this ~ style, details --- Great job!

Did I mention, that I REALLY LOVE THAT TANK?!

Progress on the next vehicle, the M13E2 Ezekiel Assault Tank - a medium tank designed for AOE ability & steady damage.

Rocket/missile pods have yet to be added; also lazily collaged the concept material. The illustration is a little off in terms of proportioning & feature placement, so I'm combining the aspects from both the pencil sketch and the 3D model.

HOLY BALLS! More tanks! =D It really looks awesome!

Really great work!

[xiarei 17]

 

update again; now with 100% more rocket pods! ;^D

[Rikifive 3,411]

This really looks amazing, what can I say more... Great job! Keep it up! =)

[xiarei 17]

oops! Been a while since I've updated things here, mostly because pixel art's been on hold for some time ;-;

Still plenty of sketches and such to dump, but I'll start off with Axel's battler sprite:

 

w/o any use of templates; getting the base idle sprite drawn turned out to be less problematic than expected (though I wasn't necessarily aiming for the cutesy style haha), but I fear the harder part will be the animations which to me is totally uncharted territory ):

Whoa! These are some serious arts going on here! =O

Both your hand drawn arts as well as your pixel arts are amazing.

I love the tank too. =3

 

Great work overall! 

[Hirei 170]

Loving your concepts

Wow...I have never seen anyone do armor tanks before! These look very nice! And I wish I was that good lol.

[xiarei 17]

 

Two of the common enemy sprites- the imperial officer & imperial regular. Still touching up the details on the officer's uniform; I'm also thinking that gameplay wise, the officer's role will be more to provide buffs to allies, though he'll be armed with a ceremonial sword as well as some basic "magic" abilities (in-universe, biotic powers that are artificially simulated using a special resource, i.e element zero)

Thank you! I don't think there are very many modern/sci fi RPGs out there in the RM community (though there's bound to be a few I haven't heard of). Luzi's RG project does have a tank and mechs somewhere in there though.

 

Thanks to EpicFile & Hirei for the compliments as well ^^

Geez. You're a really good artist, both hand drawn and Pixel. Very good job!

Currently in the process of rendering the M13E2 Ezekiel Assault Tank as a 3D model.
