Elga de Uruk submitted a new resource:

New Graphics! - Custom made deco

Hi my name is Elga. I'm a graphic designer and started playing UO about a year ago. I started making clothing gumps and deco in my spare time. I hope to see my art work on active shard accessible to players.

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing

Very nice,

but the graphics need some corrections. So the fountain and statics are not matching on the isometric grid UO uses. So they do not completly fit to the look of UO. Maybe you can use the grid to enhance the graphics a bit?

Cheers,

Valorian

Okay, how do I have access to this grid? I saw you've posted custom artwork. If you made a tutorial I'd be happy to learn more.

I am working on a little video that is about custom ultima online artwork. I hope to finish this soon, but no promises since I am a bit busy.

You can get an idea of how to do it here: https://nicegoodies.wordpress.com/2016/11/04/in-making-ultima-landfall-grass/
This overview provides a good basic idea of how UO artwork should be done. But the style can be unique. So this style is more a "comic" style, so not very realistic, but it depends on you what you prefer to draw. You can do something like this, or you can get more realistic.
If you have any questions before you start I can be reached on the ServUO Discord channel.

Cheers
[doublepost=1502367904][/doublepost]Made a rough sketch for you do explain basic structures. As you see there are some rules like where the light is sitting ( doesn't matter so much for plants). You can easily build a grid yourself by using ground tiles like a floor.

Awesome, thank you so much. I really appreciate you showing me the correct perspective to draw from.

Hey , thanks for mentioning and explaining the lights in game assets.

I continue the journey and I'm happy with how this came out. Here are few latest in game content:

All my tutorials. One on aligning images. All tiles are based off of and aligned from a floor tile. Basically. But, as you create bigger images you must splice and stitch so to speak. Took me years to figure it out. But, I show the methods I use to create static images on my channel. I use an old program called paint shop pro 5.0
