OROCHII'S PROFILE

They are doing "their job". And you don't know that phase that says "best things cost the most"?, in this case, "the most" time :P.

So, give it all people! Good luck,

Well, I would like to start with a contribution to the community. This is something I did just a minutes ago (and posted it on some other forums). Anyway, let's do trees! Let's get it started already!

Oh, just a little note. This doesn't does wonders. You need at least minimal experience with pixelart/spriting.


What do we have here? This image illustrates the three basic steps.
1.First you make a oval-shaped figure. It doesnt need to be perfect. Rather, it's better if isn't! It will be our "basic foliage ball" (you will understand why little grashopper).
2.Second, get mad and copypaste it a lot! Make a shape that you like, and that gets to something tree-like.
3.And lastly, erasing. Leave an outline, and make then a trunk. In the illustration is an example of trunk.

Now, the hard part... The shading. Since this is not a pixel-art tutorial, I'll leave it to your own technique. There are a load of ways to solve some puzzles, same goes for trees. You "solve" it at your own.
But, for the sake of learning I'll leave some suggestions:
a. Don't try to "draw" each leaf separately. Think about "folliage" sections.
b. When clearing the lines at step #3, you can select some of those lines, of course! They can be a good guide for detailing the folliage ;).

And here are two examples of trees made by myself. One is the example from past image, and the other one a tree I did for my own project.



Hope it gets useful to anyone, cheers and GL,

Nope, they're customs. Not edits nor anything like that, made from scratch.
EDIT: Although there is something I am still changing, that is the chipsets. In the menu screen I posted, the scene behind the menu is made with M&B chipsets :B. It was sort of placeholder (originally it was there to stay, but ambitions changed =DD and I wanted to do the chipsets, and the "new" charset style differ greatly too).

Anyway, salut,

Well, I'm pretty sure I don't, so I'm going to. I'm not going to be very active at the forums, maybe if I see something I can help... anyway.

I'm Orochii Zouveleki, and I'm from Costa Rica. I'm mainly an RM2k3 user, but I can do stuff with the others too (scripting-wise I have done some, I like varieties :3, but is not my strong point haha).

I'm mainly a pixel artist. I make all my graphics, and I draw at my style too (for the artworks). I'm too trying to learn to compose music, since I like it, as a way of expression is pure and powerful :D!!!! Oh well, maybe someday... I am making some themes for my project too.

And last but not least, I like a lot of doings from the users here! There are just a lot of projects with great potential, so I'm kind of envious sometimes. That's good, because it will force me to make my own better >=)!

Ah, and as a sidenote, english is not my native, so expect some grammar errors from me (I, of course, don't know if I'm mistaken), I will try to polish myself in that aspect.

So, respectful crowd, I'm leaving by now, thanks and see ya soon, cheers,
Orochii Zouveleki

The fonts in majority of menues aren't visible for me (Status screen for example). Can you tell me which is the font name? Probably is a "default" Windows font, but in any case, it would help me to know.

Cheers, and really good game yo have here,
