The billboard "posts" aren't equal size, when colored the street lines will be annoying to look at, idk if it's just me but the bricks seem inconstant when they join the building, and I think the lines for the roof on the building aren't straight.
-
Looking at my old work, I have noticed that the size is too small for the current size of things; heres a redo of my old wood post, C&C please.
someone said the border was a bit too much; here is a new one:
the top started to annoy me;

Here, I tried going for lighter colors, Should I add more overall contrast, or go for a darker look?
I don't think the lighter fits with the style of the rest of the graphics, I think ill stick with the original -
@Frostyy:
> Top one is decent but needs some pallette changing, bottom one is subpar.
Thank's, ill do some palette changes, and try a few different styles tomorrow and post my results. -

@Zarkaus:
> i think you doing nicely :3 iso tiles are great and nice for detail. :3 most ppl do it in 3d tho now XD. then rip images. or use a 3d tile input map editor and render. :3 still nice work keep improving!!
I don't think that would give me desired effects, plus, I have a lot of fun making iso art for my game, and I would hate to destroy the feel of the whole game by having some structures the way you mentioned, while having structures that can't go through that process have a completely different look. -
the buttons are not merged, they are tabs, and as for 'vomit green' being the solution to everything, it fits with the garden concept, I'm not dismissing feedback, im trying to get people to understand my view on it, and yes I do feel the need to blindly argue, and I do lack the drive to improve my skills in making this graphic.
I hope that stops this conversation. -
I disagree, but likewise,
when i said i valued the opinions of certain people, that does not mean i won't take them into consideration, I just meant if draken doesn't see the changes need to be done (besides the spelling errors and a few fixes) then they don't need to be done.
The gui parts all over the place, I can't say this is not true, however I did decide that depending on the menu present a button or two will be displayed here or there, and by that I mean under the health and such.
the colors, I think work great together, and won't change, at least not right now.
and rather, its a concept gui, its not meant to be done, perfect, or any other good quality reference its just to see how the idea of the design looks, hence why its a sneak peek and not an official piece. I don't really visit often to care to debate this any longer. -
@Frostyy:
> the problem with the GUI is it's ugly. The buttons are massive and bulky, the colorscheme is uninspired, and there's not much design to it. It's all just some nice effects to make it swallowable. More graphics and a sleeker design would be good, as well as perhaps something more interesting then solid color for the background.
*sigh*
We can continue to dispute this, but as far as i see it this is a opinion vs opinion thing.
The solid color is what I thought would work best, the game itself is simple so I made the gui simple. The buttons are bulky, yes I know I chose their size and I'm sticking with the decision made unless told otherwise by someone in cgp disagrees.
the sleeker design, would not fit with the game, if you haven't played don't post and if you have and you're still saying my design is bad then, I don't care. the people who need to like it do, I put the amount of detail the game has, if not just a little less, if I made the green any more amazing then it might draw your eyes away from it.
I'm done discussing the GUI design, focus on the fact that the GUI design is different from most and enjoy it. -
sorry for double post:
Ill be updating in the next two days, im not busy anymore so i can return to trying my hand at pixel art again -
Im using paint, and its been a while think ill get back into iso pixel art, been kinda busy
-
ah, thanks for the comments however,
I can fix the spelling mistake but as for all the things you have pointed out besides that
The only problem iv notices is the chat tab, otherwise I say iv done a good job at capturing what Draken wanted.
Thanks for the rest being opinion based, and it does help me in the future but Draken seems happy with it and for all I care people like it. It has a nice base color, with little detail, its compact and fits with the game screen it allows you to play without all the detail to draw your eyes from the game. In my opinion for the theme I was going for I succeeded, and isn't that all that matters?, that I feel my art was its best?
Edit:
lol, Draken might be late but good job at getting legendary status, and kudos for liking the design even with the few mistakes it possesses, I'm going to redo the shadows in the conversion from the first to this it seems the angles for the 'not selected' tabs got messed up. -
@Peteyyy:
> Why are your tiles so big?
as crazy as it may seem, I have them large as the system I'm going to use will tile the ground on a separate tiling system, at least that's the plan for now. if I decide this looks bad with the graphics and the size of the graphics ill change it, its to help further eliminate the grid by having walking animations and objects run on a smaller tiling system then the ground -
@blkcrow:
> actually Jaiden is right it doesnt have to be realistic. i just think that texture is important when you want to make good pixel art but thats just my opinium. well i am not into this art stuff
>
> XP anyway you probably havent understand a thing i said with my crap english
> btw you are pretty good at eliminating the grid. overal i think you are prety good for a beginer
Thanks for the positive comment, I have no problem understanding you. ;D -
@blkcrow:
> i have said that again but… your texture is only dots not realistic at all try making weird shapes and stuff like that and see how it looks
…, I got to be honest I just now noticed your post, and its a type of texture its own, i'll be trying my hand at other textures but its a place to start, you dont start building an empire if you dont have a town. (lol horrible saying) -
@Bret:
> The shadows on your fences are all over the place. You should try to make them more consistent, because right now it looks like you have 5 suns.
I noticed and fixed this, i'll update post later. -
@Ytsorf:
> neither, add more contrast between your colors. Make your lighter ones lighter and your darker ones darker.
Okay, i'll start on that in the morning. -
@Crest:
> looks good but the green stuff look a little off on the colors dependent on how your lighting is if you like brighter maps i suggest bringing the color a tad bit brighter
Thanks for the comment, I am still improving it on the side, so for now see that as an attempt -
@Ytsorf:
> still needs more texture. Give it a tiny bit more contrast and It'll be better.
so what should have more light colors or dark colors? -
Thanks,
Later this week I'll try my hand at different grass style, for now I'm just going to focus on objects other then terrain. -
Is this what you were looking for?
I'm liking this one more then my other two attempts.

Thanks,
Simply epic sir, simply epic… -
@Jaiden:
> Well the variation in blade color is good, but there should also be a variation in base color.
Okay, i'll see what I can do, I'm goint to try a diferent grass texture soon. -
@Jaiden:
> No no, now it's just brighter. Keep it that same green, but add a variation of greens under the "blades" of grass that you drew.
Ah, okay I thought you meant the blades themselves so I added another blade color, i'll try tht now.
Lukin, I stated that but decided I disliked the grass to even attempt a fix. -
Small update:
Taking a break on terrains until I can figure out a style that looks and works best with my other pieces, I'll be posting more of what I have after I check the angle and gradients, there are not many but hopefully enough for two days to be worth the time.
I have cleaned up the post a bit to make it easier to find what you might be interested in, I have finished the fence as is and it is now separated into the different graphics accordingly. I also added a sample for you to see how it will fare in game. I'll add the different corner-post images when I'm done with a gate.
I also want to thank you all for the positive comments and criticism, helps me a lot when going to make something new.
My Tileset Making

> I do.
> I just don't color.
Then why make a tile set?, it won't have much use without color, way I see it.
