I draw light from the same direction as rmxp rtp really, take a look at those (especially hair) for a good example. Don't know how to answer that question very well, but here goes, if you are trying to work with RMXP rtp try to match the look if you want it to fit well. That means use the same contrast, colors and shades. If you're going totally original then just make sure to have good contrast between your shades, no shade too similar to the other. I hope that makes sense and helps a little at least ^^ e- and no bother at all ;)

Thanks guys, i will be adding a work in progress of the bare tree soon, i just want to work on some things a bit more before.

Thanks again ^^ I will create the leafless tree and work my way from there then. Snow sounds good, still need to add houses and such to this one but when i'm done i'll work on that, never worked with snow before but it doesn't look too hard. -- Some small things added to tileset (not yet uploaded), weeds and a hole for the grass. I also got rid of the yellowish looking grass color because the other just looks better. Have a good night/day folks. E- Random_Guy5507 Thanks, and snow it is ^^ Still thinking about the house style, i may go for a Dw1 look for houses but i have some thinking to do.

Wait till you see the tall grass my friend ;) A little edit coming soon, just some slight details to leaf area ^^ e-Done, edit complete and uploaded.

First pieces complete! As always let me know what you think.

Thanks guys, i will be finishing the tree soon and then i will begin work on some basic items like barrels and pots before getting to the house wall. e- Barrel and trees are complete, i just need to do some fine tuning before i upload.

I normally use a north west light source for pixel work, pretty much like RMXP rtp. I'm using the free version of GG so there's just the basic stuff (which is all you really need,)other than that i have not looked for info though. e- I will be adding an alternate character grid soon, it will be wider for your more luxurious hair styles and animations ^^ e- Mouth and nose extra added for child and female. e- Current wip added to top.

Thanks bud, i've made some changes which make the tree look better too ^^ I will now be adding notes on current wip to top post peeps.

A more recent look at the tree, if you saw the last you will notice that the trunk is now longer and i've worked on it a little more. More to do on tree, working on grass too now. I will also upload the tileset in sections along with the passage settings ;)

MS Tileset/Chipset work. And so it begins.. again ^^ ---- Pics- ****New image**** ------------------------------------------------------- -Work in progress section- ---------------- Complete pieces- TileOuter01 I will be adding more to this one in the coming days, full thing not yet complete but what's there is. passage settings- http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww13/Yinvis/passagePiece-01.png http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww13/Yinvis/passage2.png ----- Auto Tiles- -- 02 03 04 05 - - -

I mainly use GraphicsGale on WindowsXP, and Mspaint for little things like transparency stuff. I also use KolourPaint in linux, a clone of MsPaint that totally blows it away because it has shortcuts for the functions :) Might take some time to get these tiles out but hopefully not too long hehe.

Yeah it's still in the beginning stages, i need to add much more to the whole thing still ^^ I may also make it a tad taller, i want the character to walk under it without being totally covered up.

-CrimsonInferno- I hope this helps ya a little, as i said in the other forum i will add more to this thing soon ^^ Child is male and female. The scalp marker is basically the hair line above the eyes, you recolor the top area with your basic hair color to start with, then you start branching out with strands and such as you see. These days i tend to reuse the template outline colors to add contrast where i need to, take a look at the example characters and you can see i used the template outer lines on hair and clothing. Also keep shade and light source in mind, when you add hair make sure to add shadow underneath. i don't go overkill with light source though (that's just me), i add it where i really need it, and keep it subtle overall. explained left to right. http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/121/51949966.png Pure black is bad imo, because it tends to stand out too much against all colors. And sure, you or anyone can use/edit any character of mine, no need to ask ;) For the example here, forgive the crappy hair, just created whatever there.. :D -Kiriashi- Haha yeah, that's the last.. template i'll ask you to delete ;) I will still be adding to the album, though i will add icons and other random things i will begin workin on at one point in future ^^ -- I've begun work on a tileset, i plan to keep it basic as that will help me stay in focus and complete it faster. This is just the basic look of a tree, i may change this up some more as i go. E- Look for separate thread folks.

Shadow for child added. I've decided to keep the thread as it was before folks, hope no one minds but i just find this more convenient. I will still upload icons and other things there though.

Thanks guys ^^, i think i will start working on some material before i continue with the obese templates. CrimsonInferno No idea you were female, i tend to say man and bro automatically when i don't see sex of person ^^ Have a good day folks!

Start out simple, color the scalp marker with your base color for hair and then begin to plan out the hair by drawing out spikes/strands, if you have no idea what type of hair style to create take a look at some anime pictures (or other game characters) to give you ideas. You can use a red outline to help you see what you're doing better too, same deal for clothing. e- Editing and remaking characters is a good way to go for starters too, i prefer to remake rather than edit though. You can also make that character remake your own by changing things up some. I'm no good with tuts but i can make a character frontal step by step to give you and anyone else having probs a better idea, made one or two in the past but i always ended up deleting them afterward. Child is up folks, i will add shadow later on. Let me know if you see something odd.

XD alright. Let me know how the Xp RTP colors work out on the template bud.

Aaaah, so that's what you meant >.< Forgive me my brain is fried lately man, thought you meant size of door for template.. I believe if you take colors from the rtp character sets to create your own they will fit well.

RATED-RKOFRANKLIN- Not at the moment bud, still have a lot of work to do. CrimsonInferno My bad man, the door for rtp is already as wide as what i created X_x. I haven't looked at the rtp for so long that i just never noticed, the door is fine for these temps.

Thanks guys :D CrimsonInferno- I will show you an example of how i would go about it later on ^^ Kiriashi- No problem bud, i wont add it now that i know.

I forgot the name of the place ;/, i did some searching and found this though. http://vxresource.wordpress.com/

I have not been to his site in ages but i know for sure that big stone indoor chimney is his, looks like his style like Kiriashi says.

Aha! So that was you over there ^^ -Copy paste- The door was just something i quickly put together, but you could probably take the rtp doors and resize 'em to this size. Unless you're crazy about animated doors you can just resize one of those frames and add it to the tileset itself. Wasn't going to mention this for a while but i'm probably going to work on some basic tilesets for this template in the end ^^. Might be a while before all is good to go however. Working on Terra still, once in a while i'll go back and do something to her ;). -Picture of door size for forum-

Mack i believe, that's a remake of his 2k3 tileset. I think there may be more pieces too.

I started off alright when i began to sprite as i used to draw a lot, these days the spriting has completely taken over though ^^ Anyway still learning to draw better hair myself, let's keep working at it ;)
