Aslemn's Custom Maple Stuff

This time, the grown up version of a Murupa. :o

Gonna work on all the mob samples before working on their animations. I have like 6 planned for the first maps. :o

The teeth look odd, along with the colouring too. It's still nice though.

if this is a evil version of murupa I dont want to see the evil version of Murukun

All five mobs alongside a comparison with the character, and a NPC that i have plans for, the Maple queen. (Yes, she looks like that frozen queen in El Nath, but as long as you can see, she's much different, as El Nath one is a statue, has it's eyes closed, and is only blue. Just took her as the shape, but had to make her eyes, her clothes, rebuild her whole body and put colour + shading on it, i found it totally useless for such a beauty being only used for a 2 seconds appearence in a quest barely anyone does nowadays) :>
She's not from Destroyed Rien, but i was just lazy to put another watermark at her :S
.

They're Muru, Murupa, Murupia, Murumuru and Murukun, respectively.

I have an idea to expand masteria....

thats includes Bob the Snail and the urban legend the White Lady

is about Maple Story Episode 2 for the adventurers and all classes

I really don't want to discourage you, Aslemn, because you're an amazing artist, but these monsters are just... not good. They look really weird in so many ways. The teeth and eyes look pasted on, the colours don't match with maple at all, and they're really... there's no balance to them.

Sorry!

Yeah... but check the Future Henesys monsters(excepto the pig)... is practically the same

Dunno about that...

Yea. The shading and the outlining kills those. I'm still studying the mobs to see where and how i would improve on those, but it's not really that easy for the fact i have minimal to zero pixelated things experience.

Well, I'm sure you will have improved greatly soon and then you'll just have one more skill that will make you a desirable artist. I'm sure you could probably already find work if you looked into it and were a little older.

In the meantime, I just look forward to seeing more of your bee-ee-aye-you-tiful art.

I find them okay. Only the first one really needs improvement...

I personally think the one with the crown is fine.

I've spent hours trying to make that statue look decent, i give up ;=; I've remade her eyes more than 20 times and it still doesn't look good. :S

not related to ur "eye-problem" (tho i tried sharpen it a bit), but i think her dress looks a little too vibrant so i changed it a bit, iono if u like it or not

 Spoiler

Thanks for the advice! :>
It looks really good with the dress with a little less saturation :>

Who knew the older daughter of the Maple Goddess would lose her soul because of a broken heart, her passion was her sin, and what ruined her life forever, sealed into a statue, due to a curse, she almost killed her sister and sealed her somewhere in the Maple World because of her envy, she wanted to become the queen of the Maple World, but now became the queen of Darkness. The innocent and jealous princess died long ago.

Right on the road to the Black Mage's castle, he sends his last and strongest weapon, in the middle of the Dark Forest, you encounter her. She no longer lives, no longer is a goddess, she's only a demon, that will pleasurely devour your soul. Meet your last enemy before the master of this world, now, meet the wife of the Black Mage, Ariel!

suggesting adding purples/blue glow around her to make her look "demonic" ? (just like the evil empress)

I tried, but i want it to get the silhouette aspect of the map, a glow had no place in there, but if you look closer, she has a purple glow, but it's not really that vibrant since she doesn't fit it much :o
I imagine the scene to be an encounter in a map where absolutely nothing can be seen, only things emitting glow or being brightened by the Dark Moon in there. :o

Really liked the idea of JMS to make some boss versions of the mobs we train on. Got a little inspired and to pratice my pixelated shading on mobs, decided to do this:

At least it got better than the previous ones as it's 100% pixelated instead of using a little smoothing on the edges like the Yetis.

I think the problem with your monsters is the way you shade them and how thick the black bordering is.


It's nice, it just doesn't feel like Maple still.
