Hi, guys, I've sold out!

One of the things I always wanted to do was make more original character designs that could be used in story-heavy games without the baggage of existing Zelda canon. For this set I made 28 of them. (There's 32 characters total--I put the Hero, Heroine, swordsman and Markus Canaria in the set, with human-eared versions for the middle two. All four got some bonus stuff. Just to be clear, I'm not taking anything off the database--just please don't use those versions off of ZC!) There's two brand-new playersheets in this, and 26 NPCs that are each packing a bunch of assorted bonus animations. Also animals, technically I guess it's more like 38 NPCs if you count the animals.

There's also a lot of portraits. Like, a LOT a lot of portraits. I drew so many Phoenix Wright breakdowns that I had one of my own near the end.

 

Anyway, uh, I have no idea what the market for this kind of thing is, but it's been fun regardless, and it's a relief to finally have it done. I'm going to go take a break for a week now.

Nice! Congrats on getting it out there.

If you didn't include that moth character you made that one time for me and Deedee then you should absolutely re-use it.

I did not use her! Everyone in there is strictly humans and animals, with a firm boundary betwixt.

 

She is adorable, though. There's a ton of stuff I have lying around where I want to find a place for it but I'm not totally sure yet where it should go. I've been thinking maybe I'll do some biome-themed sets, and then she'd fit into a Bug Fables kind of setting where the trees are just flowers? Something like that would be a long way off, though...

When I buy this, am I allowed to rip them into ZC?

Of course! I'd appreciate it if you stick to importing the specific parts you're using, but I'm absolutely not going to be the qst file police about this.

Awesome!

 

Also, just throwing it out there that if you end up making a full faux-GB tileset I'd totally buy it  :whistle:

For what it's worth, the community is fairly good about considering it rude to go into .qst files and rip unique assets

Hi! Please link back to this instead of distributing it via tilesets and such, but it's free real estate.

I made a giant dungeon tileset, with a focus on supporting gimmicks, puzzles and execution challenges. There's some stuff in here that I don't think has been seen in ZC before.

Monsters. You may recognize the mole enemy!

 

The other 15 are new. This is a really varied bunch and there's really nothing standard across all of them, but I tried to give them a good amount to work with.
