My first RPGMaker game. First Phase: Spriting.

[MaronaPossessed]

Here's my story...I always dreamed one of my fanfics becoming an actual game...3D graphics, voice acting, and a system the way I want...here was the setbacks.

I had to start small first in order to show my commitment. One of the things was that people hated people using existing sprites, recoloring and ripping sprites seem cheap, so I looked all around for tutorials, pointers, and stuff to start making my own sprites.

I didn't want to be that other person that used default sprites and recolored existing sprites. It just makes me feel cheap. So I threw away my effort in looking for tutorials, pointers, and recoloring sprites...

And just start doing my own. Here is my first progress on a female base. Note this was drawn with my mind and going through trial and error. I may have to fiddle a bit more with the arms...but for my first ever try, I feel proud of myself^^

Note: The arms on the top are just for reference.

Aww <3

If youre having troubles, id recommend looking at real people.  Ask some friends or family to pose for you so you can get a general idea

Best of luck, hun!

I think it looks great so far!

[MaronaPossessed]

Thanks guys^^ will work on the male base tonight, then start on the basic left/right and behind bases:)

I've been working on a game too, though it's coming along very slowly. Creating the sprites can sometimes be the hardest part of the game, I think!
Best of luck, I hope you manage to finish it!

[MaronaPossessed]

Thanks Sora, and good luck to you to! My advice is doing one thing each day, even if it's small^^

I got my male base done...I was fearing it was too macho or something...but I think I did okay. I also fine tuned the shoulders of the female base. I think they were a little too big.

May fine tuned the male arms a bit later on.

I'm trying this too! I'm gonna be using already existing sprites because I wanna learn the mechanics before I get myself caught up in the art and realize that I don't know what I'm doing. I'm using agatha christie stories as my base.

It sounds really exciting! Could you tell us more about the game? Story, gameplay ideas etc.

If you dipped her sides in just one pixel, underneath her bust I think it would give her a little more femininity!

Ooh, how exciting! I'd love to hear more about your plans for the game too :--) My gf is currently making a horror game on gamemaker.
