So hey! This is not only my first time posting here, but it’s also my first time doing pixel art. I spent a long time working on this set, as I’m new to digital art.
What’s the main idea of this set?
One of my favorite parts of Terraria is the variety of genres. You have some realistic ranger weapons such as the boomstick, tactical shotgun and sniper rifle. You have the fantasy mage weapons like the magic prism and gem staffs. You have sci-fi Martians. You even have a hint of surrealism with the bosses. That’s why my idea for the vanity set was to combine two of the genres, modern and sci-fi. It’s made to look like a set of armor that would be too advanced for us, but too outdated by Martians. Kind of like something in the middle. I also wanted to make it look like it could be used alongside other vanity pieces and Terraria items, so that’s why in the picture I drew the suit holding a vortex beater.
Why do the individual set pieces look cluttered?
Like I said before, I had no idea how to remove the grid with the program I was using. So after spending a long time in another art program clearing the lines of the full set, I just decided to leave the individual pieces the way they were.
What’s with the wings?
I know wings aren’t allowed, so I had three ideas:
- Have it be a vanity set of wings that don’t provide flight, but covers over the worn set of wings
- Make it so when you’re wearing the full vanity set, the wings replace the visuals of the current set
- Just don’t include them. They were kind of an add-on I made because I thought it would make it look more interesting.
How do I obtain it?
I have two ideas for this:
#1: However the developers intended to do include it
#2: Make it have a 1% chance to drop a piece from any creature in the space layer, along with a 5% drop rate from wyverns and a 100% drop rate from martian probes.
How long did this take?
- At least like a half-hour on making the pixel art close to Terraria’s style
- A few hours on the drawing of the suit
- 2 hours on the poster, as I didn’t know how to remove the grid on the sprites and had to manually draw around each of them
- Maybe a half-hour on the text
Thanks for looking at my idea, and I hope the developers consider it!
(P.S. Sorry about the poor quality, I had to screenshot this on my iPad, then send it through discord, then screenshot it on my computer)
