Those are very good pixels you've got there. Keep it up!

I have a suggestion that is more like a request for you, perhaps: Think you can do crystals? At least, I could use it as inspiration to create my own. This is because I'm in need of some for an effect like the crystallization seen in the FF games.

How big should the crystal be? Do you have a certain picture in mind how it should look like? The most tricky part is the animation, like rotating but i have to figure it out in the end.

Haha, see, I thought you'd like crystals judging by the way you designed that last block! XD

Well, I did have in mind something like the "198-Support06" found in the RTP, albeit a little smaller... perhaps around the size of a common RMXP character? Or the format could be something like the FFT ones, as below:



Which one do you prefer? Or a combination of both? I'd leave it up to your creativity.

I will try out a bit with reflections and rotating that thing in 4 frames. You want to use it like a character right?

In truth, I'd like to use a crystal as a character by itself, but also to "trap" an actor inside it, you know, like if he/she was turning into a crystal. However, this is easily feasible with opacity and the like, as long as you'd allow me to edit it and show you.

The rotation would be really handy for the "empty" crystals. Judging by the orbs n' blocks, your reflection effect will be very good.

Wow, the shading is really good! I'm kinda curious to know how do you do the reflective pattern. Are the lines, aren't they?

The shape, though... Albeit good, I'd imagined it less square and more long on the vertical axis. If you'll use this one as basis, I think it would be quite similar to, you know, those on The Sims? =P

Do you have a certain color in mind ?
