Cutins & Other Art by Heroes

[GM-Pandora]

RO uses different types of artwork, such as cutins, loading screens, login screens, card images, item images, etc.

As of 2022, heRO handles player-made art by commission, in which we pay using ingame items, usually donation items, or headgears and costumes (sometimes unreleased ones). If you're interested in making art for the server, contact GM-Ciar on Discord for more information.

Art is relative to every individual's particular taste, therefore it can be hard to decide what piece of game artwork we want to add. We only add art deemed worthy as per the vision of the current GMs. We are not picky, but for example a stick figure drawing is an obvious no go.

Below you can find a list of artwork that we need. Please note that the list may not be fully updated.

Cutins:

They give flavor to NPCs by showing an image when talking to them.

The cutin can have your name/artist signature on it, but please don't make it huge. Official cutin size varies, but as general guideline, try to make something in the area of 320 x 480.

The background has to be transparent. The color for that is a specific pink (For RGB, it's 255-0-255, and for Hex it's #FF00FF) and only that, the npc itself must not be transparent or have any semi-transparent pixels. If it's not at 100% opacity it will make the pink background not exactly FF00FF, which will be noticeable in-game (usually a quite ugly pink outline on the image). And please, don't use anti-aliasing.

As for file format, it must be .bmp or .png.

If you want to check if your image is ok before sending, open it in photoshop, use the magic wand with a tolerance of 1, select the area around your npc, turn that white or black. If there is a pink outline around the NPC, you have to make it go away!

Note: Some NPCs on the site may have been replaced on heRO by custom NPCs

Title Screens and Loading Screens:

The size of a loading screen should be 1600 x 1200. The image format must be Jpeg (.jpg). Please note upon being added to the server the artwork will have the server's logo.

Card Images:

Card Images should be in Bitmap format (.bmp) or in .png, and their size should be 300 x 400, no more and no less. It is not necessary to add the card border or hero logo, we do that part. The sprites can be found on the heRO database.
