Hi Tyler Warren, I'm not sure if you still respond to comments after all these years, however I'm just curious as to how you drew this artwork, I was just wondering if you could give me any advice to replicate this art style, how do you draw and colour the art, what pencils, colour pencils etc do you use and how do you edit the drawings in photoshop?
This art is incredible and I want to create a similar style for my game, which I am currently creating.
Hi. I'm still around. Happy to explain the process for you. All of the drawings are hand drawn on water color paper (Hammermill 300lb) with colored pencils (prismacolor). Then I scan them into the computer and do some edits in Photoshop. It's not a lot of editing. Mostly color corrections/some shifting of shapes/cleaning up specs and scratches/etc. aa needed, and eliminate the background to be transparent. Most later packs have pixel-style versions that are just edits in photoshop and a program I used called pixatool (also available on itch.io).
Thank you so much Tyler, that's really cool, your artwork looks so unique, I love your artwork, it looks like it belongs in the game and even blends in with RPG Maker backgrounds even though it's drawn traditionally. I would really be grateful if you could make a tutorial showing your process, heck I would even be willing to pay you for your course if you posted it on Udemy.
Really cool talking with you, would love to talk again maybe even discuss business, of course if you are willing, I don't want to get ahead of myself and seem disrespectful towards you.
I got a bunch of your stuff from Humble Bundle but my current projects are using animated battlers. I may have to do a couple things using static ones as you've got some cool stuff :)
Files are .png and they are usable in a board game, that would be awesome. If you want to print them, there is a full resolution file for each monster, would recommend using it to print.
Good question. Only the monsters that appear in the screenshots are part of the asset packs, the other parts of the images (background/heroes/GUI, etc.) are from other sources, mostly RPG Maker's defaults.

I should make a walkthrough video sometime.

All of your work looks fantastic!
Thank you! I hope you find good use for them in a fun project, keep me posted.
How EXACTLY would you like to be credited?
For all purchased assets, no credit is required.
If, however, you desire to credit me, any method you choose is fine.
Are you planning on doing any animated battlers?
I got a bunch of your stuff from Humble Bundle but my current projects are using animated battlers. I may have to do a couple things using static ones as you've got some cool stuff :)
Thanks for the compliment, all of them are static at the moment, long term future project to include animations, but that's a far ways off for now.
Are these animated figures or static images?
Good question, these are static images.
Thank you for the information!
What's the file type? I want to use some art assets in a board game, will the license cover that?

I've never used RPG Maker, but I was wondering are the characters in the screenshots part of RPG Maker? Or your battlers (monsters).
Good question. Only the monsters that appear in the screenshots are part of the asset packs, the other parts of the images (background/heroes/GUI, etc.) are from other sources, mostly RPG Maker's defaults.
