After someone saying something about Atlantis, it gave me a pomegranateload of inspiration, more information and real testing images coming soon, once i get to fix the testing issues, source or some pomegranate. >.>
And monsters, when i finish drawing and calculating the stats of those. This'll be my project for the rest of this year. Hoping to continue and finish this until December, if school allows me to with all those exams.
I'll post the rest once i'm done with it, and when i'm done with developing images for each thing. I've found it easier to list things that need to be made before making themselves just when i think of them.

WOOOOOOOOOT

[R3SISTANCE]

Fucking awesome. <3

[animaniatico]

this shit is HOT!!!!

[dejong12]

Wow! One could just say it's already content in MS! This so fucking amazing!

[Foolinaround]

You have to be able to somehow get some recognition for your talents.

[halokid22]

are these actual game files, IE: that work for a pserver? if so why not make your own little game?

[Aslemn]

Well... I have the separate images for those that can be adapted for a server itself. But mostly, before getting the images separately, i need to preview how it would look before separating what i'm going to use.
.
The castle should look like this.

On your 2nd picture, you could have used a different guard instead of the same.

Makes it feel repetitive.
Other than that, WE NEED THIS TO BE A LV 70+ THEME DUNGEON!

I like all the work you do.
-goes crazy-

[Aslemn]

These NPC's are just placeholders before i scan the ones i drew by pencil and pixelate em.

[halokid22]

your work is the definition of epic.

[Aslemn]

Today's work for the past 2 hours. The final map layout of the Entrance map, a bit of story written up, and still working on drawing monsters by paper. Almost done with the frames of one monster.

[dejong12]

Wow, I'd really like to play that content! Like I said, it's so fucking awesome!

[Aslemn]

For a side quest, you must rescue a few gods including Zeus and Poseidon. And of course, one of those is found at the Olympus.
This is not the final map layout, it as more likely a test of map objects to see the best one for this area.

-snip-
Wow, this looks great! Your edits and use of skills in maps are very clever (lol firegear for portal), the clouds in "Cursed Road: Olympus" and the seaweed on the columns look really good.
If I had to criticise it'd be that Olympus looks a bit too dark and out of place, the entrance has too much debris for the coral and other seaplants to grow properly (the contrast is sort of weird.)
Few architectural flaws here and there (CHAINS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY) but it's Maplestory, so that shouldn't be much of an issue.

Say, where are you getting these Map objects from? If they're from Krease or whatever you must have access to an extractor or something, right?
If so do you mind sharing the link to it?
oh god why have i come up with several concepts for the monsters already even though you're the one doing them i should not intrude on this no

[Tay]

Reminds me of LaTale, cause of Abyss and Underwater-ness.

[Aslemn]

Attempt on making a mob for the first map. It's a giant goldfish.

Lol, it's Altantis's pet goldfish. :P

You should try to make a pirana sort of mob.

Woah, that's a big goldfish
the scales and the point between body and tail don't look too good (I said consummate V's! CONSUMMATE!!! (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail58.html))...but EXCELLENT work on the fins and shading on tail.

Here's something I did that might be helpful, I stripped Dodo of his pointy helm, think it might be good for those whale mobs.

eh, sorry this was kind of a rushed job. the frames are here: http://drop.io/bhwomx8

That dodo whale thing scares me. :( :ahh:

[Aslemn]

Tried to improve that goldfish monster these days, but really, i haven't been succesful in this task. Whatever, may that serve just as an attempt that might be changed later, 'been trying to do make it's frames and this was how it turned out.

Ignore, again, the fact the GIF animator is a complete crap, the images are cut off, and of course, my style isn't much... Mapleish, if you get what i mean.

The snack that smiles back!

[Aslemn]

A whole revamp onto the concept and layout of the area itself.
Instead of being more likely a higher leveled aqua road themed expansion, it'll be more likely independent into the first night themed underwater area.
.
Also the way it's acessed, althrough the picture shows the same gate that i used previously connecting to Aqua Road, that was just for a layout testing purpose.
.
It may also be connected to Greece, close to it, acessed more likely falling off from Greece into the sea, since Orbis is above the sea, and the fact Greece is a floating island. Ignore the image itself, but pay more attention to the layout.

You should make the Goldfish have a reaction when it gets hit + dies since it looks so happy when it breaks apart..

Other then that, you sir, are the best editor I've ever seen.

[Rip]

For the revamp: I like this change but it still looks way too cluttered. The blue seems a bit too saturated as well.
For the goldfish: there's something really weird with the attack frames, you might need to change to a different colour mode or something that allows opaque gifs.
Also, you need more frames. That seems to be the major issue with your sprites.
You need emotions, casting frames and some "in betweens." But not having them makes the fish really enigmatic, I guess.
I tried to help by playing around with the framerate but it's much better to have a consistent framerate (preferrably 20~8 fps [one frame lasting about 0.05~0.12]) Also 10fps is very bad for Maplestory, no one really knows why.
http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/3149/attackq.gif
err, try to avoid even motion blur when the thing is to remain in one place. it just looks silly.
http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/3403/diec.gif
this one uh, i have no idea where you got the break apart and fall from but it looks almost gruesome.
http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/8535/flyj.gif
Needs more frames, but you can probably get away with this at the right framerate.
