Quite a few new sprites

[Makiness]

Hello, I am Maki and am a bit new to these forums.  Just wanted to show off a few previews of some of the new sprites we have been spriting and working on for our server, MakaiRO =)!

Black Mask Kong Sang Scarf Feather Wings Tuscan Sam

White Mask Atlantian Guard Secilia's Ribbons Icarus Wings

Ying Mask & Yang Mask Order of Atlantis Set Flight of Cakes

Credits go to Gaia Online, Dransik, Bleach,and some other places that I can't currently recall D:



We have finished the .act files for these already but they still need a little fine tuning (moving them by a few pixels here and there).  I wanted to show off these first since they are pretty much finished and already implemented =]!  We have tons more that are still only in .spr format but have decided not to show them off until we get them slightly more polished (And to hopefully build just a little bit of excitement since we have none XD!).  

So.. comments, suggestions, criticism?  Help would be appreciated =] (Especially if you're are experienced with making custom .act files!)

I really like that Kog Scarf and Ribbons, they are so great. Are you going to upload these sprites?

[Makiness]

As we (should've) posted on our eAthena topic, we will most likely decide which sprite people like the most and release that one for all to use =]  The most I'm allowed to do now is upload images of the sprite with no character/body so people can use them for signatures or something if they'd like (I mean c'mon, Kong Sang Scarf is just that cool if I say so myself =P).

I'll be uploading previews of some new ones tomorrow if we finish up the .act files for them though =]  There's quite a few that we've finished making into .spr files!

I really like "Secilia's Ribbons" =D. It's very cute and pretty.
The Kong Sang scarf looks like a big sprite... I don't like big customs as much, but it seems okay. I would like to see its animation (does it flip/move around when you walk, etc?). I don't like the masks as much because of the colours... It's a feeling I get from them. Do you have any other colours of the mask?

Regardless, great job with the sprites! Keep up the good work!

I really like the bells, and the scarf is spiffy! (I'm not into big customs myself, but it still looks nice).

Are you considering making other color options for them?

[Makiness]

No one seems to like the masks at all =P  The reason they are they black & white (grey really) colour is because they were meant to symbolize Ying & Yang.  They're curved slightly if you notice, so when they combine they'll form the perfect circle.

Black & White Mask (Ying Mask & Yang Mask?):

[Kyomi]

Are you able to equip both halves at once? o:

[Makiness]

Sorry for late reply, yes you are =P

Some new finished items: Atlantian Guard and Feather Wings (Although should be named something like Herme's Sandals =P).  Order of Atlantis is the set that Kong Sang Scarf belongs too (Helm is still unfinished and hard apparently).

Feather Wings


Atlantian Guard


Order of Atlantis Set

hmm preety new items in bussiness liked the wings looking forward to your server

I absolutely love the scarf! Somewhat reminds me of Laharl's scarf out of Disgaea (was red though and a little different).
Hope they do have some sort of animaiton while you move, that would make it even more awesome! ;P
The scarf would look pretty cool in red and orange too. :3

I do like the ribbons too, but the shading doesn't seem as ROish. The shading you made looks rather realistic but RO's shading is not quite so realistic. XD

[Makiness]

I'm not that much of an experienced recolourer (still trying), but it's a bit hard to recolour the scarf because of its deep shading =P  But then again, this was me trying to make it white/snow-ish.  I will try it in a dark red colour and it should come out fine =]  Although we are going to sprite a new scarf soon (Strider's Scarf) and that will be in a red/orange colour!

We also tried to get it as close to RO colours as possible without ruining the image (none of us including the spriter likes RO's palette tooo much =P).  Right now, our goal is to pump out as many items as possible for our server so that means the harder items we have planned will be last and animations will even be less of a priority (although we do plan it ^^).

I'll see if I can get a few good colours out of the scarf =P

[Kaezar]

I like all of them; nice work!

It's Yin and Yang, by the way. =)

Next time a bit more constructive criticism please, I'm sorry I didn't specify that word earlier but I assumed (wrongly) that most people would understand =]  But yes to answer your question (or what seems to be an aggressively provoking statement xD), almost all of our item sprites we are working on are from other games while most of the first 3 batches of sprites we are working on are from Gaia Online!

If you mean to imply that I just cut them off the website and pasted them onto randomn palettes that anyone can find online, then you're right!   But in all seriousness:

Although the .act files are still slightly off on a lot of the ones that are currently completed (still being fixed).  Also just noticed I have yet to make a seperate logo for this server :O

@Kaezar: My bad, Yin and Yang =P 
@Nekac1: Will probably redo Atlantian if we have time since it's too non-fabric-ish
