Hi! So, after asking how viable it would be to customize the blank map avatars we all have, I'd like to contribute to the cause with some sprite art! I've been a huge fan of the game since Nexus War.
I've started with the IB for now because it's the biggest dude and will help me gauge the size budget I'd have to make these - any other sprites should be smaller.
Some here will be WIP:
Evil Combat Classes
Evil Magic Classes
Evil Pets
Good Pets
Good Combat Classes
Good Magic Classes
Neutral Magic Classes
Neutral Combat Classes
While I will be greatly inspired by it, I won't strictly adhere to the existing (and really great) art by Aki, and I'm open to suggestions.
Plans:
- T2s: Very similar to the Mortal, not as artistically refined as the T3s.
- Wizard: Guy with the typical wizard hat and glowing with cool arcane shit
- Angels: Have a common color palette to really sell the idea that they're all a big happy family.
- Revenant/Lich: I really want to make these different and stand out from each other and have a unique identity, not sure how yet.
- Dark Oppressor: Stygia variant to represent their greater power there? Also, glasses. They're smart. And evil.
- VW: s n e a k y b o i. I don't want to just do a shadowy blob with a smile, some really scrawny and creepy motherfucker would do I believe.
- Corruptor: Succubus with giant ass titties, more of a charismatic and seductive individual than the intellectual Dark Oppressor.
- Conduit: I'm not sure if I'm going to go with the Avatar look. But if I don't have a better idea I'll go with that.
- Advocate/Lightspeaker/Archon: I really want these to look different and unique, but I'm not entirely sure how yet. For now I just got "people with wings in a toga and a different weapon"
- Make male/female versions eventually
Cheers!

Wow, these are super cute! The Infernal Behemoth actually looks super good and like a super hefty chebbage. I especially like how fiery and half-elemental it looks rather than just 'wow it big demon man'.
My fiancee mentioned something that could be really cool - don't want to suggest even more work for a sweet little fan project like this, but perhaps you could have very simple customisation alterations for the sprites?
Just like say, these 4 variants with the IB -
- Two big horns (yours)
- Two little horns
- Unicorn horn!
- Crown of spikes on head
This'd be a really cute feature if the game could have it. Although honestly with or without it, it'd be a big upgrade to be able to see what things are on the map, even if you restricted their appearance to only being visible if you shared a tile with them (i.e: still unclear/generic if further away from you) for meta purposes. Especially if it was through the medium of juicy sprite art. Honestly, even if the sprites were to be purely functional rather than particularly aesthetic, it'd still be a significant improvement for the interface and speed at which you can visually read the game.
'Course, nice ones like these are preferable, but I'd even take a buff stickman with horns and an angry face on it.

That's a cool idea! I had the "lava" layer still around in the canvas so I used it to make this pureflame variant of the IB
(I intend to make male/female versions for each class, but with the IB being so monstrous I believe this could do as well lol)

Thanks!

Admittedly it's a lot easier to make things look good with the bigger size (IB), it's a bit of a challenge to get it all to make visual sense when I have less pixels to work with lol, but oh well.
Gurandra and I absolutely love your Fallen sprites, they're our favourite ones yet! Haha, it's pretty unusual for Fallen to get some love, but I really like your take on their design. And their sassy battle poses.
