I've been working on a graphical RPG, but one unlike the one in another topic of this forum. Mine uses 8x8 sprites. It is very fast for TI-BASIC(About 2 FPS). Everything is working fine because I have about 90% of the main engine completed. I need more graphics. I need them today, because I'm going on vacation for a week, and I program really good in cars(don't ask). Could some of you please post some good sprites? I would really like some of people, because the ones I made are not bad, but could be better. Anything other than people is good. I also need some 16x16 sprites for the monsters and bosses in the battle scenes. I'll give credit to whoever can help me in my program. Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah, If you wanted to know, my RPG is gonna be called Final Conflict and I'm gonna release it some time this summer. It's gonna be huge for a BASIC program, I'm guessing at least 70K, but most of it will be archived while running.

Edit: Please get a good forum skin! I hate the default Invision Board one. ibplanet.com has a lot of skins.

If you post a list of things you want (be a bit specific about style and type of creature/object) and I'll see how many I can do. I'll draw some random peasants and boss creatures.

Thanks. This is what I think I'll need:

8x8
A pedastal
A couple people, like peasants
A king
A queen
A fat guy
A cool looking main character
A female character
A friend of the main character
Spiked floor
A First Aid Kit
A ring
A good wizard
The main characters mom
Anything related to RPGs, I could shove it in the story somehow

16x16
A big worm
A different worm
Something 2 headed
A spider
A evil wizard
Anything that you can think of that looks mean

I think that all that is asking for too much, but if some of the people would look the same almost, just make them one sprite. My engine can only support 60 8x8 sprites, and the battle part of the engine isn't done yet, but I expect it to have maybe 9 or 10 sprites.

I've got some finished and I'll upload and post them in a moment, need to get ftp acces to my site first.

EDIT:
From left to right, top to bottom:

peasant male,
peasant female,
peasant child male,
peasant child female,
king (or main character ? Or both?),
queen (or main characters mom? Or both?),
big-angry-fighter-boss-with-helmet,
giant spider,
2 headed giant (was going for a monty python style but 3 heads wouldn't fit Neutral ),
dragon,
worm,
wizard (for evil one, give his hat + robe more black),
somewhat different worm (give the rpg a bit of humor Wink),
and a pedestal.



Oh, and they look better on the screen.

Hehe, thanks. I'm ok with sprites (pixel art) but 8*8 is a bit too small for me.

I'm planning on doing a pixel art comic (futuring the wizard in my avatar among others) but I want to have the site up first, and I suck at web design Sad .

Wow. Those look really good. Thanks.
Here's a screenshot of one of the screens I used for testing the engine.

Some of my friends are really good with 8x8. I'll ask them.

i think the key looks kinda funny... it looks to elongated...
more like this :

Code:
      ||||||
      ||
      ||||||
      ||
      ||
    ||||||
  ||      ||
    ||||||


instead of this :

Code:
      ||||||
      ||
      ||||||
      ||
      ||
  ||||||||||
||          ||
  ||||||||||


does that look any better?

or is it just me making myself look bad?

hush, don't tell anyone ;)

And I agree with Adm Wiggin, the left side of the keyring is too long, it's not a circle.

OK, I'll make the key smaller.
I also think that I should put 1 pixel in the lock, because it's supposed to be locked. Neutral
Once I'm done, I'll get some beta testers to make sure everything looks good. Well, if you want to contact me about this RPG while I'm away(if you don't know, read topic starter), email me at REMOVED
Edit: Oh yeah, thanks to everyone, and a big thanks to Arcane Wizard for those sprites. I'm gonna call that 2 headed guy Sir Robin or Shurbery or something. I did see Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Could some other people make some sprites for me? I need a lot more of people. People like the one I have in that screenshot. I only have 6 people made, a guy, a girl, a king, a queen, a knight and some wizard dude. I also would like some more 16x16 monster sprites, especially things like snakes, rats, turtles, or whatever.

Oh yeah, I still am on vacation, just in a place with a better internet connection.
