I'm making a game right now, here is some progress. Character creation is functional in unity and I just need to draw and replace assets atm for the remaining buttons in the other menus.

Here are some origin buttons, the name Aphros will be changed when I'm done but I sure will be reusing my writing including things you have seen in Eternia (Fauste is in the game and I can't get her out). Ignore the other two origins I still have to draw those.


Though wait, why is he naked in that menu. It's because there's character customization dingus. Look at these outfits designed for each origin.


Anyways yes, lots of art and coding done.

Why should you care
Because I need to draw more customization options for those little duders up top, and a good way to find inspiration is to create your characters under the same system. Now admittedly I only have a male base so far, but I will draw the female one soon and post here again to open up commissions.

When I do though please note that everything I draw I will likely use as customization options in my game, but I'm not gonna like- plop your character in. It'll just be the individual hairstyles and clothing options, which let's be real are from some anime anyways.

Anyways I'll draw up the female base model and get back to u on that but feel free to reach out to malekou on discord. 

Options will likely be just getting an isometric rendition of your character, but maybe I'll even draw a whole tileset for an environment piece and place multiple characters if you want a cute gift for your faction. I'm in the menu phase though dummy so obviously I don't have a lot of tiles prepared, I made these for this post, that's speed right there:




Alright flex over,, bye.

COMMISSIONS OPEN



DO YOU WANT A CUTE LITTLE TACTICS RPG SPRITE OF YOUR CHARACTER? WANT A CUTE LITTLE SMALL PROFILE? OR MAYBE A CUTE LITTLE ISOMETRIC SCENE FOR A DESCRIPTION?

-I am selling these little guys for 20 bucks a pop.
(please acknowledge that I may use some aspects of the design (hair, clothing) as customization options in the game I'm making.)

-PENDING I may also draw a little scene to put your characters into for an extra cost, though please wait until I've done an example one of these and posted it here so you know what you're getting (and so I know what to price it at)

If you're interested, message malekou on discord

Why's it taking so long for a 'scene' example?
I decided it'd be a cooler look for the game if it was actually HD2D like triangle strategy, so I'm teaching myself 3d modeling. 

I am now making a few 3d tiles (minejcrraft,...)


And I will be focusing on getting the 2d character sprites overlayed, alongside getting pretty lighting and shadows working, then I'll make a bunch more tiles.

Ignore how horrendously ugly it looks with one tile and no lighting, but I already have rule-based tile proc gen working in Unity with the ability to hand paint them, which should make scene generation faster:

 

What this all means is I'm gonna need some more time setting everything up, but after this initial time investment I'll be able to make scenes both fast and pretty. Yippee.
