RPG Maker MV Tutorial: Bigger MV-Styled Character Sprites!

I keep having to relearn this process due to my learning disability and keep coming back to this video. Thanks for creating it Echo. and I hope you're well.

This works WAY better than I expected it to. And here I was attempting to make tall characters from scratch. A thousand thanks!

I've finally bothered my A to give this ago. Tbh I was confused so put it off, but basically all that's need is to 1. Increase Character canvas size by "x" amount Height and/or Width (I did 1.5 Height) 2. Increase Height or Width of sprite by same (again I scaled 1.5 Height) 3. Line feet and boom done. I used Clip studio pro.

this... is actually brilliant. I have always had trouble making sprites bigger, all I had to do was stretch them out! i'm am going to sub just for this.

That's awesome! Thanks! I've always been more of a fan of the Phantasy Star style of character sprites, rather than the 2D Final Fantasy style as you have more options for character dynamics, just look at the cast of PS IV for example, they're all over the place from the tiny Demi to the massive Wren. On the technical side, one thing I did find is that the middle sprite's head on any given direction is a pixel higher than the side ones. so I would recommend repositioning the sprite a pixel lower if you are doing all three at once and moving it back up when done. or actually maybe two or three depending on the new height, just to accentuate the bobbing motion of walking so it doesn't look so static.

Oh my god I've been looking for something like this. I cannot stand chibi sprites. You're awesome. :P

Flipping awesome video, such an old video but still so relevant. Thanks for keeping up the good content to this day!

Thankyou for the great tutorial! I'm graduating in games and I'm actually working in a project with some people on RpgMaker MV! Your tutorials are helping me a lot and I'll sure send you a copy of my game when it's done! Continue the good work!

This is interesting as a game dev myself I found this handy in my new project

This works wonder, and I did the same on doors too, so good. Thanks a lot! PS: your presentation was very good, made the tutorial fun to watch!

Geez, you are a genius. Simple and so effective! Thanks a lot for this!

Ah yes exactly what I was looking for, and even an added bonus of being humorous! Lovely work, thanks

I remember watching this in 2017! Thank you Echo607 for helping me so much at the beginning of my Game Dev journey!

Holy cow I thought it would be more complex, but nope. Bless your tutorial making heart.

I love how you add character, even to your tutorial videos!

Thanks for this; I'm so glad to have found your channel and will bring you one closer to 20k subs.

This is actually the best intro to a tutorial i've ever seen

this is definitely going to be one of those tips that will be thoroughly used in all my projects. (including practice projects)

Awesome! I was totally looking for something like this online and not much about it. I was able to take your steps and get started on elongating a character and then did some pixel touch ups to get it looking how I wanted it to since it stretches some things out of proportion. This gave me the starting point to do what I needed to do making characters two heads tall. Thank you very much Echo607!

Now I know you are popular, as I started following you today. I went looking elsewhere on how to make sprites taller, and lo and behold it takes me right back to you :D
