Name's Arana or Aiko, I've been around the RO community using those nicknames. Sadly I do not share any of my works yet since they were made by commission. So as the title says, this is mostly a Showcase I started spriting since year 2009 following same steps as Devil Evil, basically I would like to thank him for having the patience on spriters like me, and sharing such wonderful guides written by him. I'll place some of my works here displayed in chronological order, also adding information about the server it was used for. (Note that all these items has been currently tested in game, they do not crash, look bugged or loose any of their proportions, however, a few of them actually use custom RO palettes). EdoRO My very first sprite was a gift for a wonderful GM I met, "GM Albion" from this closed server, the item was just a hat featuring him as in doll form. GM Albion Doll Tales of Midgard: Freya I went deeper into spriting so I made an Hydralisk (monster character from Blizzard's Star Craft game series) as a gift for Unlimited, who was current admin of the Tales of Midgard servers. I also made an Unlimited doll hat for him. Star Craft Hydralisk. GM Unlimited Doll CeresRO I Joined CeresRO as a GM, and also created some hats our players were asking for, the idea was just to open a Topic over the forums on which any player can give a suggestion about an item they would like to see in Ceres Ragnarok. Tarou Hat (I know... its probably my ugliest work so far >.> Devilish Horns Just a hat c: (not finished) Le~Mudkips hat Hello Kitty Hairband Nidhoggr's Helm probably the most complicated hat I've ever done so far, mostly because of my lack of experience on animating hats back then, I made sure the hat would keep its proper frames and animations. Devil Evil helped me understanding how the animation works for these hats. Strawberry Heavens Im not including the thumbnail from inventory image since I do not own its rights, I made the sprites and hat for the game, but the difference from the other works I have done is that its thumbnail and concept were already made by an unknown artist. Assassin's Creed Hood (reason why I display other hats at the right side of some items is that I used to show the current hats I'm working on before the release of the ones that were already done). NobleRO After CeresRO's closure, I entered a team wich had many skilled members willing to start a new project recommended by Mr. Devil~ here I met Chemical Crush (A really beautiful map designer) and other friends the project was about giving a Rune Factory twist to the Ragnarok Online engine. I was asked to create my first custom mobs, so I took some examples from existent mobs and wrote sprites over them. Baby Grunty Teen Grunty Grown Grunty I am sorry if the shade does not completely respect Ragnarok's physics rules (The team loved them but some guy from outside who was thinking on hiring me talked a lot of bad stuff about my works as a monster spriter...) but like I said... those were my first 3 custom monsters I have made, including all animations and sound config. Ent This is an Ent from World of Warcraft, I think it was Chemical Crush who asked me if I could make a RO version of it, the best thing from this monster is that I no longer required using an old one as a base, except for its file as a template, the animations set, some sounds, etc. the mob size and sprites were created from scratch. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Giant Crab As a suggestion to the NobleRO's team leader "Ombra" I said we should create a custom MVP for our server, he agreed right away, but all I made was this single image, Giant Crab from FFCC this was my last current work for NobleRO, since the team disband and the project was never finished. PlayRO I later joined PlayRO as a player, got to know its staff team and created some custom Hats and NPC for them. Juvia Hat I Juvia's Hat requested by the server admin "Juvia" Juvia Hat II I later made a new hat from the same character (Juvia Lockser from Fairy Tail) NPC Juvia I was finally asked for a custom NPC for the server, Juvia Lockser RO version. Aatrox Helm A Project I never finished, Juvia's cousin asked me to show him how to create a hat, his desire was to get a League of Legends Aatrox helm for RO. JustRO Siroma Backpack Chemical Crush was working on a server named JustRO, she asked me for a Siroma Backpack for a custom quest c: ElariaRO Thanks to Chemical Crush I got to meet Aurela, ElariaRO's admin, after I was introduced to the team I started working on something special. NPC Aurela My first work for ElariaRO was an NPC named Elaria for a quest. Giant Fiddler Bundle I told Aurela about most of my old projects, then I mentioned I was trying to create an MVP, she asked me to finish it for her server, since the project was only around 3% finished back when I was creating it for NobleRO, also never got to deliver it or get any kind of payment for it, so I finally finished the MVP for ElariaRO, with all its animations and custom Sounds, so far this is the hardest file I've worked with when it comes about spriting, I made a pack containing a recolored version of a monster that actually exist, also reworked one of the crabs from the game, and finally added the 100% custom Giant Crab plus its card. Some of the frames stop or change colors on a weird way since ActOR2 is not really designed for exporting animated frames + effects, so these are current errors shown by the .gifs not the current files while in-game. Custom hairstyles for Elaria, they are also animated and work well with any palette, tested on every animation as well. A tricky work, the diamonds actually got their transparency in game on different spots as shown in the picture, they're also animated displaying some shine, the colors obviously aren't taken from the original RO palette, however they do look well in-game for its purpose. An NPC made for this past 2014 x-mas, was meant to cover a quest. AnotherRO I am currently working for AnotherRO, following our administrator "Nevan" requests. The symbols that AnotherRO's forum will mainly use. Badges displaying the current member's position, can be from a normal player, to an administrator, I had fun creating these, since they represent dungeons and fields from Ragnarok Online. Can you guess which place is which?~ Thank you very much for reading about my current/old projects, I'm willing to keep spriting and learn more about it, really happy to share this post, probably something I should have done years ago. I would be happy if you comment on this topic, I accept any kind of criticism. I'm attaching the Nydhogg's Helm complete file on this post, feel free to use it! 2Nydhoggr's Helm1.rar Edited April 28, 2015 by Arana 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
