For some reason I feel compelled to start my own sprite gallery. So, okay.
Please note that everything in this thread is OPEN DOMAIN. You can use this stuff in your own games or edit it however you choose. I'd prefer if you gave credit to me (SaiKar) if you use it in some project, but honestly I'm not that uptight on that sort of thing.
For the battlecharacters, I'm reducing them to a single conglomerate image to make the post scroll less fiendishly. I included a little white space so that it should be easy to put them back into their original files. If you are having trouble with this, go to http://charas-project.net/resources.php , search for SaiKar, and click on the Battlecharas link to find the original files.
I'll be occasionally adding to this thread as I create/find new stuff.
SAI'KAR

The character of my namesake, Sai'Kar is a "Mithuk Solom", which translates roughly to "Divine Warrior" in our language. She is one of the strongest members of the micron race, a civilization different than humans that has been in hibernation for thousands of years while a magic spell to transform them into beings of pure energy has brewed. She abandons that fate to join the heroes in saving the world.
Sai's battle character was the first one I ever created and I'm still happy with how it turned out. I'd probably shade things considerably differently now, but I don't really have many actual complaints.
Sai was going to be in her own game at one point, so she ended up with a few "extra" graphics like the swimsuit swimming things and the darker uniform with short hair. Never went anywhere though.
RMXP version YES!
JASON

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/CCFaces1.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/JasonConglom.png)
Jason is the main character of the CoD games. He is a fire caster and uses "empathy" (a form of psychic powers) to reshape the battlefield. His weapon is a wooden club, similar to a wand, that contains a link to the Empathi Field, a cosmic energy nexus that powers psychic abilities.
This was the first character that I created full charaset sprites for. Ultimately, some of them were too darn annoying, like that dying pose. But man does that fire he's holding animate nicely.
Aww, look how cute he and Erika look there.
BILL
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/BillPoses1.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/BillPoses2.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/expresion.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/BillConglom.png)
Based on the RTP hero Alex, of course. Bill in my vision is an aggressive swordsman with a small amount of fire magic.
I gave Bill a very aggressive swordsman's stance that takes advantage of his strength to swing the blade overhead for a nasty stroke. Bill also has some interesting jumping and stabbing motinos that I never really did a whole lot with.
ERIKA
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/ErikaAlter.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/ErikaPoses1.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/ErikaPoses2.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/ErikaConglom.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/CoD4/MattErika.png)
Undoubtedly the most powerful character in CoD2, Erika combines wind magic with fierce sworsmanship in a style of combat that proves deadly in almost all circumstances. By using the power of the wind masterfully to help augment her own muscle movement, she can run circles around an opponent, dodge anything short of the fastest bullets, and even float slowly in any direction through the air. She is historically the fastest character in the entire CoD universe.
If memory serves, I created the battle character first, then Ruler of the Dark made a character set out of it for me along with that swimming pose, and I went from there. By now I can make my own character sets (they're far easier than I feared) but I am still very grateful for the help.
Erika's sword stance is based off of Chrono's from Chrono Triggger. She holds her blade across her body in what appears very agressive but actually lets her defend herself well.
Her wind floating animation is by far and large my favorite pose, ever. Actually, a lot of Erika's poses look really good. I think hers came out the best.
Erika was one of the first to be translated into RMXP style. I only made that sprite last weekend so she doesn't have a full character yet.
MATT
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/MattPoses1.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/MattPoses2.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/RedHairedConglom.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/CoD4/MattErika.png)
Matt is an ethical scientist, who believes both in the pursuit of knowledge and the safety of the planet. He knows earth magic. He's also Bill's brother.
The original Matt sprite was the black-skinned RTP thief hero, chosen because the goggles gave sort of a sense of being some sort of scientist. But since Matt (and Bill, and actually quite a few others) are based on real people, real-life Matt was never very happy about being portrayed as a black character. I made this battlecharacter as a request and Matt wanted to use it to portray his character. I didn't much like this because I felt this sprite was too "rugged" and totally destroyed the scientist part of the character, but I went along with it and made some poses anyway. This story has a very odd ending that I actually visited Long Island last week, met with the real Matt, and created the RMXP sprite standing there next to Erika as a compromise. I should probably go back and change all the original stuff to fit that new sprite, but man, that's such a pain!
The green weapon Matt is holding is a laser sword, which is pretty much a lightsaber from Star Wars. I gave him what I thought was a standard Jedi pose; blade straight upright next to the body, ready to intercept incoming lasers or whatnot.
AWALDOCK
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/AwalPoses1-1.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/AwaldockConglom.png)
CoD2's anti-hero, Awaldock is a heavily armed swordsman with masters over the ice element. His "Ice Cage" technique is feared far and wide.
As he was supposed to be a trained military man, I gave Awaldock a more typical sword pose that looks pretty sweet from either the front or the side. When you line Bill, Erika, and Awaldock up in a row they each hold their blades in a very distinct way and I think that's sorta nifty.
Awal's battlecharacter is probably my most popular one, especially after I added the body armor to the generator as a resource. Apparently nobody figured out that it's just an edit of the armored male trooper with the front of the armor changed to a breastplate. Hah!
Though it barely shows up in the sprite (it's much larger in the artwork), the symbol on Awaldock's chest is a combination of the letters "T" and "Y." TY stands for "thank you." When the first CoD game was starting up a guy named Awaldock drew some very sweet concept drawings for many of the heroes. He made it into CoD2 as a main character because of this. Support your game creators, people; we're an appreciative lot!
CAMEOS
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/Myrinz.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/MyrinConglom.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/CoD4/Cameo1.png)
I did these without asking permission of the character's creator, mostly because I can.
Myrin is Midnight's character. When she started doing Sai artwork, I responded by doing a Myrin bchar set, and the rest is history. She was an important character in my Outpost project as an assistant to the player.
I actually had full character sets for the entire first row of Myrins and some of the second. Unfortunately, the loss of my computer last summer destroyed a huge amount of these poses, including all of the Myrins and several CoD character sets. Alas fallen ones, ye are remembered. Since I have the proto-sprites here I could conceptually recreate the entire character sets again, but Outpost is long dead and I'm too lazy.
REQUESTED CHARACTERS
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/RequestCharas.png)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/GriffonConglom.png)
From back when I did requests often. I was given a characterset (that I did not make, but I'm including them anyway in case you want to do make a character out of them) and created a battle character out of it. To the best of my knowledge, not a single project using any of the bchars I ever made even hit demo stage. But it did add a lot of quality bchars out on the community, so I guess that's good.
This section is wildly incomplete and I'll be tossing stuff in here every now and then or by request.
MORE TO COME
-
I think I've seen some of these before.
But I can't put my finger on what CoD was.
-
CoD2 aka Control of Destiny 2 is my main RPGMaker game. It has like 20 hours of gameplay. I released it here a while ago, but it had some sorta serious bugs at one point so it wasn't very well-recieved.
-
This is why you're the king. Queen. Hermaphromonarch.
But you've got more than that! Don't sell yourself short. My personal favourite is the grey-haired bard complete with pose of embardulating musicality.
-
It's not that I'm selling my short. It's that this is taking a very long time. Man, I got stuff all over the place.
Since I still sprite I'll be adding to this thread indefinately.
-
Yes, a SaiKar gallery. I look forward to seeing more, newer, contributions to this.
-
Sweet
-
I think I'll post here when I make additions in addition to tossing them into the main topic.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/CoD4/SaiKar.png)
I had to make this. I HAD TO. You don't understand. It was cutting into my sleep. "What would Sai look like in RMXP style? I'll bet she'd look pretty good," my unconscious would ask. "Shut up you," I'd angrily reply to myself. "I have to do this statistics homework!"
Eventually I gave out.
This is her more traditional look with the sleeveless dress and anti-big gem character revisions I made a while ago. The game calls for her to have a number of different looks so I'll probably have another couple versions of her sooner or later.
-
Ah! One of my all time beloved artist is back in business and showing of their sets. You know I once (when I was a non member) I liked evertying you did so much i wanted to use all of it in a game, but i could never find sprites for a character called Gryphon (I think that's how it's spelled.).

There was no faceset, but it shouldn't be too hard to find one that matches up.
-
Sweet! You're the best. I might just revive that old game idea. All I'd have to do is work out the story. If this advances any further i'll PM you okay? Thanks, Sai! ;)

Various Charites that have been awesome to me lately. Can you identify these three characters? I sure hope so, else I did a pretty bad job!
I freely admit to having no legitimate reason to put Myrin in her Outpost fighter "clothing" for this sprite. I also don't regret the decision in the slightest.
I may do more of these later. Not by request, but by impulse.
-
i can totally see midnights cleave
-
Warxe looks fat
-
I love your battlechars. I'm using Mid in my rpg at the moment, actually.
-
Sai, that looks pretty awesome.
Warxe looks fat
Actually, he's meant to be overweight. So bleh.
Also, Sai, do you happen to have the full 2K3 charset for Mid's sprite there?
-
I wasn't trying to make Warxe look fat. I just gave him a freaking huge trenchcoat. You can see it sticks out way past his body and legs.

This is the version I have of the Myrin sprites that I was working on pre-crash. The 8th character set is the one I use for Myrin's normal gear.

n4kerz saikar $h33t pl0x (It would be funny to see how the bars move.)

No. :p

Really slick stuff here. Nice work.

Your praise honors me.

Wow another awesome addition to this already astral gallery. Myrin looks sweet and sexy. ;)

Sweet sweet character reconciliation. This is Matt, the series's inventor, who has gone through more character revisions than I ever hoped to deal with. Last spring I visited the real Matt in New York City and worked with him to draw the RMXP version of his character. I finally got around to making 2k3 sprites of it this weekend. If he's not happy with his character at any point in the future, TOUGH LUCK.
Buncha works in progress that I need to remember to finish and post here eventually. In the meantime, some of the sprites in action.

I have a ton of stuff. I should update this topic more often.

NEEENJA! An obvious edit of the RTP ninja with the following changes: eye color changed to silver, robe color change to solid red (it was sorta pinkish), and hair actually covers her right eye when the sprite is facing right. All the usual poses of mine too. I'm really happy with how her battle stance turned out, and I couldn't resist putting in an animation where she lifts up her hair to show that she actually has another eye under there.

My three favorite battle characters I did as requests: the unnamed traveling bard (that harp pose is my favorite bchar sprite ever), Aleksandra the spunky lesbian cosmonaut (I couldn't make this up) and the elven priestess Laura. If I ever make another game in 2k3, it will include these sets for sure.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/SchalaBChars.png)
It's a rule that someone who has an artistic talent has to create their favorite character in their best medium at some point. No, really, it's in the rules; go look it up. Nobody requested Schala and I'm not using her sprite for anything, but I made it anyway. I even did a bunch of status effects for some reason.
-
Your battlechars look excellent. I have little patience for making conventional battlechars.
-
Brillaint ^ ^ Peritucly becuase they are in RTP style.

Really? A rule you say? But I cannot decide, so I am sad. :(
Looks good by the way, reminds me I should be getting back to work on my own projects, including some spriting ones.

I love the battlecharas. Good work sai.

A master's forge, long gone cold, slowly begins to burn once more.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/CoD2/MattBchar.png)
It's been close to 5 years since I made my last full bchar set. I wonder if I've still got what it takes to create the last 6 or so I need for my game. Matt here is the easiest of the lot - some of the rest will get pretty dicey.

Random sprites.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/CoD2/CoDNewSprites.png)
I decided that I wanted characters to hold their weapons in battle a few days ago so I whipped up some new idle battle animation stances based on previously drawn character poses. They look pretty sweet, but it's hard to appreciate them with four people in the party when everyone gets all overlappy. I also finished Myrin's set a while ago - here are some of my favorite poses. I'll post the whole set if anyone wants it - I even whipped up a non-dagger idle stance if people want to use the character with some other weapons.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/CoD2/CorruptHeroes.png)
A few of the "Corrupt Heroes" that serve as optional, very difficult boss battles. Their costumes and color swaps are based on early designs for the characters and unusual pseudo-inside jokes about the game. I think badass cape Jason and sexy warrior Sai came out particularly well.
Doing these sprites is great fun, but it does make me a bit sad in that I'm really only doing it for myself. At some point a few years ago I wanted to join an RPG making team as a sprite artist and make a great game that would actually see release. But there were so few serious projects and even fewer that would give me any sort of creative leeway. The ones I found were essentially me just doing requests, of the sort of "hey, I have this character. Here's his sprites. Make me these twenty poses in exactly the way I say I want them" ... which is fine in a way, but not the kind of thing that motivates me to stay up until 1 AM because I'm in the zone. At some point I realized I was getting a lot better at this and I could sprite essentially anything if I wanted to, so CoD2 has given me a lot of opportunities to just let the creative juices flow. I wanted Erika to have a stance similar to Chrono's. I wanted Myrin to dual wield daggers and go all rainbow when she uses her special abilities. If people had been more of the mindset of "hey, here's a description of a character. He's about 20, uses a spear, and has a scar on his face - see what sort of interesting designs you can come up with" then I would have happily joined with other people and been part of a team, but everyone I met just wanted me to work on only their completed vision with no room for adding my own touches.
None of the above paragraph signifies I'm going to stop spriting or anything. Just a random thing I've been thinking about lately.
-
I bet you could make a large set of civilian characters that a lot of people (including myself) would enjoy using. That would allow you to be as creative as you want while helping out with other projects. (Just a suggestion)
But I really like that one sprite in the bottom row in the middle on the first image in your last post. I dunno, but the whole rainbow thing you have going on looks pretty cool.
-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/CoD2/AIConglom.png)
This was a massive, painful undertaking. I've never sprited a non-human character, much less a robot. Not my best set; far from my worst.
-
I love it.
-
If that robot's frozen, I think some sparkles on the body might be appropriate.
-
Cool! O.o Robot's in RTP...I don't think it's ever been done. In fact I think it's what made me switch to sprite sized R2 units, since there were none when I was first planing Warped and my various Jet and David spoof games XD Good job on this one Sai. ^_- You're slowly bringing RTP back into style.
-
Go Robo!
-
Hey, not bad for a first, a bit clunky but not bad. Your getting your feet wet in something different, it'll get better over time. Overall I don't think it is so bad. Then again, I loved CT. XD
-
Yeah, it's definitely a bit rough around the edges. Luckily for me, being a robot, it's okay for him to be a bit clunky. :D I can't shake the feeling that it should be a better sprite but I'm not losing sleep over it.

General Greg "Gman" Pinky, in command of Jasonia's air force, the mightiest military machine on the planet Micras. Probably luckily for everyone else on Micras, he is also one of the few trustworthy men with the position. Known for his honor in command as well as a personal willingness to join the front lines if need be, Gman is one of the most beloved commanders in the military and leads entire armies through sheer personal charisma. He has sworn a personal oath to protect President Jason to the death; an oath that nobody, even his political opponents, wish he will actually have to carry out to its bitter end.
Gman is wearing a blue flight suit and one of those WW2 "bomber jackets". His two sword poses are based off ceremonial stances used by the US Marines.

-
Well, there's a shadow saber thing in some games. It isn't SW specific afterall.
-
Neat.

You should just call them beamswords and the problem is gone.

True. I like them sometimes. Usually I have characters use aura blades.

The game references them as laser swords, but they're lighsabers to everyone through and through.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/PoseBackup/Magus3.png)
Potentially my greatest work to date. Making Magus in RTP was interesting enough, but what I really cut my teeth over was making all the custom poses for his motions rather than just using the same RTP-styled ones. Magus doesn't walk up to attack - he glides, then jumps backwards wrapped in his cloak. He doesn't raise his hand to cast magic - he points it at his victim, letting them know they're in for it. He doesn't lay down on his back when he gets KO'd - he collapses in a heap, arms forward.
Overall, I think it came out extremely well. The idle pose alone with his hair and cape whipping in the wind is one of my favorites I have ever done.
Only one more bchar to do and then I am done FOREVER!
-
I like it, but you should make frowning.
EDIT: Make him frowning.
Dear God, what's happening to my spelling?

Inevitable, really.
These are just for fun. I'm proooobably no making a MLP:FiM RPG. But, if I decide I want to, I'm off to a pretty good start.
-
Sweet.
And I suppose I'm not far enough because I ignore who the green and yellow one are.
-
They're NPCs. They don't have names. I picked random colors to test the three types - earth pony, unicorn, pegasi - before moving on to the no-doubt more complicated main cast. The one on the right sort of resembles Fluttershy I guess, but it's just a coincidence.
-
Oh yeah, and Fluttershy actually is yellow. Been quite a while I haven't watched an episode...
I think I'll just go watch at least one when I'm done eating, yeah.
But anyway, they do look nice.
-
You totally stole my idea! I was actually thinking about making MLP sprites. I'll leave it up to you, though. :P

I'll see if I can get the other 5 done during this week. Cool to be working on something fun again!

La de da. I have these spritesheets done, but let's face it, nobody's gunna actually use them for anything.
They do take a long time though. I gotta find a way to speed this up.

Apple Jack might be troublesome, what with the hat and all.
These are pretty good.

Rarity is the only one I'm not totally satisfied with. The colors are perfect, the hair style is about as good as I can get at this size sprite... but I don't know. There's some difficult to quantify "Rarity quality" that I'm missing there.
-
Darling, it's the eyes. Rarity's eyes are an almond shape. The same goes for Twilight. Fluttershy's eyes are weird shape.
Here's some reference. Pinkie is an example of normal eyes. Just take a look:

-
Aagh, it *is* the eyes, isn't it? Those eyes are really complicated. I don't know how I'm going to modify the shape. You're right, though. I'll have to do something. Thanks fo-
... did you just call me darling?

Based on her stance when taking on the Ursa.
Becoming more and more tempted to make a Pony RPG...
Animated battle stance!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/Pony%20RPG/TwilightStance.gif)
Animated trot/run!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/Pony%20RPG/TwilightTrot.gif)
These aren't the most ultra-shaded sprites, but they shouldn't be too totally impossible to keep a consistent look if I want to do the full cast and make an RPG out of it. As Twilight says, "Got to balance style with adherence," after all - they're recognizable and functional and, at least in my opinion, look passably decent, and that's good enough for me right now.
-
The sick thing is that the overall lack of shading works great for these. I mean, the poonz aren't really shaded in the cartoon after all so it looks.... right.
And that battle pose looks good, amazing how the wobble effect can work to animate anything. The RTP did it, B/W did it and now your ponies are doing it.
-
Well that's pretty nice! And I agree about the shading, it looks pretty good without.
-
Wobble effects are a godsend to idle stance battle animations. After doing like 30 RPT battle characters I got exceedingly good at it.

-
The sprites are looking great so far. You should totally do a pony RPG, and Derpy Hooves should definitely make some kind of cameo in it.
...Though I guess it's not really a cameo, since Lauren Faust has all but cannonized Derpy Hooves anyway.
-
To think this Pony became popular simply because of her bugged eye!
-
Don't tell me you're not constantly keeping an eye on the background ponies while you're watching in case she pops up somewhere. I can't be the only one. XD
-
Yup :V
ed: Just realized how confusing that was.
My eyes are usually on the background when it's showing a crowd, because Derpy is made of awesome.
I mean, holy ****, she can break the space time continuum (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110108130805/mlp/images/5/5e/Derpyx4.jpg).

Don't I have anything better to do? Well, apparently I do, else I would be a LOT farther on this. :)

Derpy!!! <3
Those sprites are looking great. I'm especially fond of Nightmare Moon's. Loverly!

Battles just got 20% cooler. Rainbow's kind of overpowered in a time-based system like this. It's going to go straight to her head.
-
You seriously needs to stop being so good Sai.
Horses looks great and real damn similar to the real thing, doubt it could get any better than this.
Also, I'm really fond of those large sprites, the enemy thingy.
-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/Pony%20RPG/RainbowCloud.gif)
My inner lazy Dash has somewhat taken over. I gotta get back in the game, man.
-
Damn it, Sai! That Magus battlechar is stupidly awesome! You're always one step ahead of me in skill, but one day I shall eclipse you.
And the pony sprites are pretty good. The style is definitely close to the show (what little I've seen of it, at least).
-
Perhaps we should do a sprite-off, mano-a-mano? Same character, same "style"... get a couple of these Charas whack-jobs to judge what they think is best. Nothing too fancy, wouldn't need to be a whole bchar, but maybe the same character in 5 different predecided poses?
Could be fun.
-
I like it! Name the time, place and sprites, and I'll be there.
-
I wanna see this.
-
I wanna see this.
Seconded. DO EET, DO EET!
-
Let's set it up for this weekend. But, for obvious reasons, I can't pick the particulars myself.
-
Sarah C.
Everyone loves Sarah C.
Except those who don't. But to hell with them!
-
I'm heading away for the long weekend, so I won't be around, but I have plenty of time next week. Why don't we make the deadline next Friday? That should be plenty of time, eh?
Also, I like the idea of using Sarah C as a base, but someone else will have to decide what the predetermined poses are.
-
I'd vote for: Idle stance, attacking, damage, skill use and bad status. Seems like the kind of poses that may differ most.
Use item, defend, death and walking are kinda dull.
-
Sprite-off?! This sounds awesome!
......it's been 10 days since this thread got posted to. That's ominous.
You'll put a link to the Sprite-Off thread here, right? I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!
-
If you guys aren't going to have a sprite-off, then Warxe and I should have a weapon set-off!
-
If you guys aren't going to have a sprite-off, then Warxe and I should have a weapon set-off!
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. If you wanna go ahead with it, I'll post a topic somewhere and make it official.
Also, I dunno what happened with me and Sai. I guess he's busty or whatever.
-
He is indeed busty.
Go for it!
-
... damnit Warxe. That couldn't have been a typo.
I think we're having logistical problems. I don't want to call the terms of the contest because it would give me an unfair advantage. We'd need someone to be willing to come up with them for us. Likewise, you two should have someone neutral decide the terms of yours.
I'm available for either the Sprite-off for running yours, but I'll be totally AWOL all of next week.
-
It was a typo, but I left it in because I thought it was funny. And who knows, maybe you really are busty. It'd be weird, but hey, I don't judge.
Well, me and Valiere just kind of came up with rules and agreed to them (at least, that's what I thought.) So once our Sprite-Off is done (at the end of next week), me and you can start one. Again, whatever works for you.
-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/Pony%20RPG/SupInspiration.png)
Sup, inspiration.
Aaagh, now my original Twi bchar, which I was really happy with, doesn't look as good as the others.
-
I think they all look great. You very much capture their expressions and stuff.
Is this an actual project? Like a game?
-
Looks great!
And I don't know, I do like how Twilight looks.
You should include Dr. Mullein in your game! Why? To boost my ego or something, pretty much...
-

It would absolutely 100% be a game if I could figure out how to handle chipsets. Right now, it's a thing I do idly while bored while trying to figure out how to handle chipsets.
-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/Pony%20RPG/PinkieRarity.png)
Rarity and Pinkie idles done.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/Pony%20RPG/PinkieBounce.gif)
But Pinkie's idle is something you really need to see moving to appreciate. Yes, that's her IDLE, not a victory pose. I can already tell I'm going to need to sink huge time into her animations to really capture the character.
-
Did you ever play 'the way'? Most of this maps used invisible chipsets so you were walking around individually made paralax backgrounds. It looked hella impressive. It's a lot of hard work but it might go with the pony thing better.
-
That.... THAT'S BRILLIANT. I'll still have to use standard chips for dungeons and stuff, but for things like Ponyville I can totally do that. Probably. If nothing else it's a hope!
-
I live to serve.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/Pony%20RPG/NMMDefeat.png)
C'mon Twi, you got this! Just... oh, well, maybe not.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/Pony%20RPG/NMMAnimate.gif)
Animated NMM idle.
ALMOST DONE with battle system mucking. Then I'll try to Moosetroop up some maps get a quickie demo ready, at which point I'll, like, make a game thread.
-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/Pony%20RPG/LibraryMockup.png)
Looks a bit strange, but only a bit. Only redrawing every single chipset in this style would make things perfect, but that's simply not going to happen. If it's between looking slightly odd and not happening at all, I'll take close enough.
-
This excites me greatly. Post more!

Okay

I'd suggest a more chibi-version pony for the worldmap. Besides that - you're doing great. Using them pictures in the chipset is working surprisingly well.
-
Agreed. Cutie mark gave me a chuckle
-
Slightly odd would be an understatement. That said, I looooooooooooove it soooo muuucchchchcfdg
-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/Pony%20RPG/TownHall.png)
It's more a matter of stylization than anything else. As far as colors go, I think that the pony buildings match the default graphics surprisingly well.
Also, it's REALLY HARD to stay motivated on this project when I can look in any direction in the fanbase and see people doing things a thousand times better than my little pile of garbage. But, I attempt to persist.
-
The sprites just kill me. They're really awesome. Besides, **** errybody else

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/Pony%20RPG/BOOTTOTHEFACE.png)

Yeah, I should probably get around to making a game thread. There's actual areas and items and quests stuff in the game now.

I see you're using the official map.
Yeah, I thought that'd be extraordinarily useful too.

It's most of what rekindled my interest in this.
