Title: Have a Battle Charset request?
Post by: Valiere on March 21, 2009, 11:18:30 PM
Hey, my interest in all things RM2K has just been renewed after a couple years away from the scene. I thought I might try a hand at making Battle Charsets. Who wants to be my guinea pig? Just post the regular Charset and specify the weapon or whatever. Original characters, preferably...I don't wanna butcher anything official. ^^

Not a mistake really. It's just that most people aren't willing to fulfill requests like that.
Title: AH!!

I been looking for someone that WOULD do a few requests for me regarding a battlechar for my game that I am making!

I have the images right here; Reid from Tales of Destiny 2, and Cless from Tales of Phantasia. I wish for both of them to wield halberds instead of their swords. Will you be able to do this for me??? Here are the images.

She said ORIGINAL character requests. O_o Well... preferably. XD

Well, I have MANY original characters, XD I wouldn't mind being a guinea pig.

Entity III (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v122/ShinDarkfox/Art/EntityIII2009.jpg)

Name: Entity III/Ent

No charaset yet but a sketch by me. He (yes, he) has long blond hair, pale shiny pupiless blue eyes, a somewhat catlike tail and a long shirt that hangs to his knees (it's not a dress XD). He doesn't wear shoes and has pretty much normal feet except perhaps the toes puffed out like paws. His face is more himanlike than animalike. He has a black gem in his forehead and that spot is a dark blue splotch. He's a light gray color (he's a "gray alien XD") and his attacks are drawing elements from around him (alchemy) and a black knife he jabs from his sleeve.

I don't supose you could make this into a battle set, could you?

Yeah, I kinda wanted to keep it original, so I'm going with Darkfox's request. It also sounds like a challenge, so that's always fun.
Title: Re: Have a Battle Charset request?
Post by: Valiere on March 23, 2009, 07:06:20 AM
Okay, here it is. I can add another attack pose if you want (I didn't really know what to do for it, since you only mentioned a dagger) and an item pose if you feel like it. Otherwise, here ya go. Hope it looks close enough to your description.

I can, but some details about what it is, how it attacks (teeth, claws, tail, whatever), anything special it does, etc. would be much appreciated.

Well he happens to be a dragon by the name of Dyral as for poses I need all the basic ones plus a blue flame breath and claw attack pose. Also when doing movement I don't suppose you could make him fly by editing the  wings? If not just a regular walking pose will do. Also could you squeeze in this fellow as they are both part of a game that got deleted from my computer and I lost every one of my crafted battle charas so I have almost nothing to re-build with.
(http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll106/cadeskywalker10/Vargreir.png)

He just needs a bitting attack and a ulta sonic wave attack.

Oh and before I go, how would you like to be part of the Warped Project Staff? I would like to redo the game using your style of charas. If your unsure of the game it's self here's a link to the game.

Pretty good! In my description was a link to a picture by the way. The only thing missing is his nose and ears, otherwise it's pretty accurate XD. I guess as another attack he could slam his hands down shooting up spikes. And yeah, an item pose, sorry I was so vague, it was late. XD;; I wanted to see how good you were and I must say your pretty darn good. I hope nobody makes abuse of your skills. >_<

I have class real soon, but I managed to finish Dyral...I don't have time to test it, but I think it turned out pretty good:

(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/Dyral2.png)



I'll get started on the other one when I get home. As far as being part of a game staff, I'm not sure I can...I'm planning on continuing my battle charset series, which will take some time. But if you have any requests for a humanoid with a certain hairstyle or whatever, feel free to ask.
Title: Re: Have a Battle Charset request?
Post by: Darkfox on March 23, 2009, 09:59:49 PM
That's awesome Valiere! I like the way you use movement blurs. Did you get my message by the way? I should have kept the sketch in an image but it was so big I put it as a link instead. O_o;;

But don't worry too much about it, I'm a spriter too. XD

Converting a JPEG to PNG doesn't help, dude. :\ If you have windows XP or Vista you can just save to PNG or get a free tool to do it. PNG is a VERY widely supported format and easy to handle. But converting a JPEG to PNG will not remove the junk pixels, sorry... :(

Darkfox -- Reeeeaaaally kicking myself. I totally didn't see the link in your description...that drawing of your character really would've helped! I read "gray alien" and thought you meant literally... gray alien. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greys) Haha. I'm used to links being a different color than text, and I just joined the forum a couple days ago, so there's my excuse.

But no worries, I'll fix it all up nice as soon as I get home.

All right, I reeeaaally need to work on my other battle chars, so that's enough requests for now. If you need a certain human battle char that you don't mind becoming part of a series of chars in the public domain, you can request it in my thread on the Resources forum, and I'll see what I can do.

The only word for what you've done is Astral! It's much better than I could do my self, thank you so very much. For what you have done I think it guarantees you a spot in my Charas Action Figures. When you have time ethier send me a chara set of yourself or a description and i'll get to work on a CFA (Charas Action Figure).

Sounds great. :D   Can I just send a pic? Probably easier than describing.

Actually, it'd be more fun to just use Azula, who's in my avatar:

Hmm this will be easy. I should have this one done by tomorrow. By the way they work awesome in battle. Now I'll just have to create their other forms. Actauly I still have Draryals from when he was Skydramon, if you get time maybe you could do a battler for it? It won't need much since it's so big it needs battle animations to use special attacks.

Yowza, I'm new to the forums and I saw your work Absolutely amazing. I'm attempting to make an RPG for my Computer Science class and I am struggling hard on trying to make a battle set for our battle scenes. What all would i need to send you to be able to use your work? I will fully cite you in the credits and such as well as send you a finished project of the project when its completed if you were interested.
Title: Re: Have a Battle Charset request?

Thank you, and I suppose I could do another request if it's for school. Let me know if you need any help or advice on it.
Title: Re: Have a Battle Charset request?
Post by: Krizzit on April 03, 2009, 01:29:45 AM
Wow, Thank you, I'm extremely grateful for your quick response, Right now we are working on a basis of a battle layout and a battle pose for possibly the hardest character would be greatly appreciated. This is just a rough model but i think he looks good so a battle set based on this model would be cool, Hes a ranger so He uses a Bow as well as a short knife.  I hope its not extremely too much to ask if you could do a double with a bow and a knife if not just a bow would make my job MUCH easier. Your the artist so let your creativity shine.

We don't have any good ones we have a draft which will change for sure, Basicly we will attempt to mimic the one you make cause it will be millions of times better then ours. If you need anything else just hit me up. Thanks again.

If you're going to mimic it, my first thought is to make it fairly simple, but I thought of a better idea. I have a template that's 90% complete...if the ranger is too difficult to mimic you can just add clothes to the template.

I'll get started on it...maybe some time tonight. Depends how tired I am. Long day.

A request:

Age: 16  Weight: 110 lb  Height: 6'4"  Hair: black, fringe  Eyes: black oval glasses  Dress: buttoned light blue shirt, beige trousers, black sneakers

Sethel is a nerdy guy that at the game's beginning is beaten and left in an old factory. The factory is crumbling around him due to an earthquake and as he is running, he bumps into a strange machine, pushing a few buttons before falling and blacking out. Naturally, it's a time machine and when he wakes up, he finds himself in a spooky castle. His weapon is a digital watch, which has been magically altered upon arriving in the castle to cast magic spells when he enters their respective 10-digit codes. So, you should have a pose of him pushing buttons on his watch. You should also have a pose of him activating a spell, which is done on a separate turn.

I'm sorry for not being able to provide an illustration, as I do not have a scanner and I am terrible at doing it on a computer. Thank you if you'd be able to consider this, being loaded with requests.

Ooommmggggg, the request line isn't open, I'm just helping someone who needs it for a school project.

The order of requests right now are as follows....Terradont (although I work on his on and off since he doesn't really have a deadline), Fruckert (as soon as I'm fully sure what I'm doing for Fruck), and Krizzit.

But if I have some major downtime and I'm not exhausted, I may tackle yours, DD. May. As in, try to find someone else to do it, but if before that somehow it shows up on your doorstep, all the better.

Thank you very much Valerie, I saw Gemini's Template so i think i may attempt to make the warrior and thief from it. Krizzit is the main Hero so even if he does look slightly different / cooler. then that is completely fine, Im extremely grateful that you are even willing to do this for me. What ever you can do and when ever it fits in is perfectly fine with me. You rock

(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/Ranger1.png)
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/Ranger2.png)


He looked like kind of a "calm, collected" type, so I used kind of minimal movement. I think it works nicely. Oh, and animating someone firing a bow is harder than it sounds.

Since I'm sick to death of battle charsets, I think I'll start work on my very own chipset. :D

Oh my god, You nailed Krizzit to a T, calm collected type, definitely him. You rock, and i like the little bit of writing at the end. "To give them an A" that's awesome! You are truly amazing.  Thank you a ton,

Title: Re: Have a Battle Charset request?
Post by: Valiere on April 06, 2009, 12:13:51 AM
Uh, let's see...tips...


1. Keep whipping out RM2K3 and watching the animations as you try them. This is the only way you'll figure out what looks off and how to fix it.

2. Copy/paste is your friend (obviously).

3. The various selection tools are also your friend. Just highlighting a foot, moving it over a couple pixels, and fixing the leg to match is an easy way to show a foot shifting.

4. The Rotate tool is sort of your friend. SORT OF. It never, ever works perfectly unless you're doing 90-degree turns. Be sure to correct the object you just rotated so it looks right, or else it will look like a deformed mess of pixels.

5. Dark colors recede, light colors advance. So color a foot in the background with a darker color than one in the foreground.

6. A big dash of color to show movement usually looks a lot cooler and faster than, say, just showing three stages of a sword swinging. I use this a lot.

7. Do a Google Image search for "man holding sword" or "man firing gun" or whatever if you need to know how to draw a certain pose.


That's all I can think of for now.
