I was debating whether to post this in Team Recruitment or here, but it's not a Project, per se, and so here won out.

Explanation


Okay, let me just preface this by saying I am making an item system. It is a limited inventory system based off a grid and item size. There is a screenshot at the bottom so you know what I'm talking about:

As you can see, the user can choose to use pictures to display items, and that is why I am posting this topic. I made the wooden shield and the scimitar, but as you can clearly see, I did not do a very good job. I want to release a default picture package with this script so that it is much easier for the user to use this feature of showing pictures, but I don't want this default pack to look as bad as the pictures now do. So, I am recruiting.

The Recruitment


Basically, I am looking for one or two good artists to work on making a default package for this script. I would hope to get around 60 pictures for a decent starting pack. I don't want just anyone to contribute because I would like the style to be consistent. For that reason, if there are multiple people who want to do it, I will need to see a sample to discern who I think would be best for the project, as well as to discern style inconsistency if there are multiple artists. I will leave the topic open for at least a week before choosing a person. For the sample, you can do whatever you like. If you are having trouble deciding on something, then you could try making a helmet like this:



I figure if you can do a good job on something like that, you can probably make any item.

The Details


Pictures must be rectangles (or squares), with width and length multiples of 32 pixels. In other words, a 1X1 item is actually 32X32 pixels. so, 32X64, 128X32, 128X96, all of these are acceptable sizes. 40X65 is not, nor is 33X65, though I suppose if it's that close it won't make a difference.

The Reward


I don't have much to offer, but I will say that you will get credit for your contributions in the script topic, as well as a link of course. And I won't take your rights to the material away either (not that I could), so you can post your pictures on any site you like, though I would request that you link to my script  ;D. As well, I will be willing to make a script for you upon your request.


Thank you in advance to anyone kind enough to apply and make a sample. I appreciate it greatly. The script, by the way, is close to being done and will be shared.

I really like the scipt idea and the way you have put this together... I am not great at drawing with a mouse, but can show you a simple technique to make all your images look of the same style using photoshop:-



And here's the scaled down and rotated 128x128 version:-



Just find an image from google that looks real... and start the tutorial.

You can then make all your own stuff and keep he Credits in your own name !!!

Thanks for the tips   :lol:

I think, however, that they might look too real and won't fit in with the RTP graphics like the battler in the inventory. Is there a way to make the picture look a little more cartoony?

Okay, I tried LOS's method for a few (I don't have photoshop, just Paint.NET, but they are very similar. Anyway, here is a sampling of what it would look like:


(images ripped from swords-online.com. Great site, lots of cool stuff)

Do you guys think that is okay? or should I wait for someone to come along who can make them fit in better with RTP graphics?

I personally would say this is fine for a script demo, but if I miss understood you and that this is for a game then you might want to find someone to "toon it up" for you.

I want a default pack of item pictures to release with the script so that everyone who uses the script doesn't neccesarily have to make their own item graphics.

It's not an edit, it's completely original.

It actually is done already, but I'd like to make it a little snazzier by making loot screens and I might revise the shop scene as well (optional to use with the system).

Currently, it does work, but if you gain an item and you don't have enough room for it, the item disappears. Thus, I want a loot screen so you can choose which items to drop.

I think they look to weird at both sizes...I think it'd be best to either make full sized ones or resize larger things..

Alright, one final bump. Then I will release the script without the pictures and hope that someone comes along and offers their services.

I took a picture of an axe from swords-online.com and I modelled my pic after it, but I tried to make it look less like a photograph.

As to what I want, I want them to fit in with the RTP graphics so that the battler picture does not clash with the item pictures. I think I like the axe too.

Any takers?

Actually, this bump is for feedback. What do you guys think of this advanced item display. Basically, you can select an item to get more info on it, and this is the screen. In the stats screen, it only shows stats modified by the items. The paragraphing formatter that I used for the description is incomplete, as it appears to not do it exactly as I would like. The icons in the right hand corner are the item's elements. The first screen is of the weapon display when it has a picture associated, and the second is of the item display when you aren't using a picture for it.






Is there anything I should add, do you guys think? And does the current layout look good?
