Graphics Wanted
Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2011 1:18 pm
Greetings,
I am working on a general replacement graphics set to be used with RTC, and perhaps with any other present and future Dungeon Master clones that may support at least 8-bit graphics. This set is intended to include all of the dungeon graphics for the Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back dungeons, and therefore any other dungeons that were created with these assets in mind. The look of these graphics is intended to be consistent with an 8-bit wallset such as the Dungeon Master 2 Stone wallset, but with the original DM/CSB monsters and items updated to a similar depth and quality.
I have been collecting updated graphics from a variety of sources, and obtaining permissions whereever applicable or possible, and creating databases of the available resources and those needed for this specific application. Some of the graphics that I have seen so far are those from Cowsmanaut, Dungeon Master Java (Alan Berfield, Jorg Nieberg and Adam Garland), DMJ Addons 1 and 2, Germanny, Kelly, Francisco Muñoz, and probably one or two others. It is clear that there will be some gaps, or that some items in a different artistic style may not be ideal for this set.
I therefore would like to ask if any of you have developed graphics that you may be willing to allow to be included with such a project. I am also interested in seeing any of your own custom graphics that may not already be out in public, or to be made aware of any sets that I may have overlooked. For example, I think I saw a nearly complete set of champion portraits somewhere recently, but don't recall where it was located or who created them. I understand that graphics made for custom dungeons are generally not something that people are willing to share, so as to avoid spoiling unigue dungeon experiences, so I am only looking for updated graphics to replace the standard DM/CSB artwork. I have composited together or upgraded some of the missing graphics on my own, and will continue this process. Unfortunately, as I am not an artist, some of the needed images will surely be beyond my capabilities.
Thanks for your consideration.
