I'm getting no responses on these carmodding forums so i'ma ask here. What I want to do: Use my photoshop skills to create all new graphics for my dash and console. I.e. the air conditioning options and the speedometer etc. My question: How could I go about taking the graphics off my computer and putting them onto the plastic pieces?

hmm ok i think i know how to make the smoke hole then. and this is just an area for a small group of fishers. the round huts wouldn't be used in the major villages. UPDATE-  fixed barrels

I see it too Anna, I'll fix it. I made the rounded huts for variety. And I thought you said they needed smoke holes? lol. I guess the smoke holes should only go on the long house?

nah, body parts are change.

I count my wealth in dead bodies.

I was talking about Godlord and Robin.

lmao you guys never fail to crack me up.

Anyone else notice that shader's savings calculation is horribly wrong in so many ways?

If they don't know that, they don't deserve to get the humor.

damn kreator, the detail in that pixel masterpiece is amazing. ahaha

thanks devo! kusy, i'm hoping it all gets to where i want it. if i can make everything i'm planning i imagine it will be a very fun game for others. but we'll see.  some new tiles.

Lol cus he built his own house? idk. I'll figure it out. Maybe I'll just have him overtake Asgard and corrupt the atmosphere making it look more evil.

I was going for a wide jaw look to make them look more brawny in a cartoony way. it's not meant to be realistic. Kusy, the story involves the gods being possessed by loki who reigns from his own castle so idk how to include valhalla. maybe in an expansion if i ever finish this one?

the chest part just has a bad design. i would rework that. and i think it looks more like a robot not a golem.

lol… is valhalla related to norse mythology... you crack me up. anyways, it is, but idk if i'm going to use it because of the storyline i'm going with. i'll try to think of a way to incorporate it. @ Anna, yeah the smokehole is one of the things I was supposed to make last night. unfortunately I fell asleep super early. And like Kreator said, to each her* own. I respect your opinion but the sprite is how i envisioned them a long time ago before I was able to transfer my hand drawn art to pixel art so I'm gonna keep the sprite as is. On a side note, the sprite is wider than the door, so I'm sort of debating on adding a comical tidbit where the sprite has a squeezing animation when going through doors lol idk yet.

also, for water, i think it's a better bet to go with lines than dots. the lines create more of a wave effect where the dots create more of a blade(?) effect. What I mean is the dots work better with grass because it looks like blades of grass poking up, however with water, it's not gonna poke up, you want to create an illusion of smooth waves. So, use lines. also, don't make the rocks look like they're floating on the water, make them look like they go under the water.

That's pretty bad ass dude. You should visit it. haha

http://www.7teapots.com/Viking_Village.jpg This image gives a decent example of the house i'm building, except it doesn't have the support beams you can find in other resource images for viking huts. And yeah, this is supposed to be a smaller hut meant for small encampments but not big towns. I have other plans for those houses. And thanks again everybody! I should have a few more things up by tonight, unfortunately i'm nearing the time when i have to stop working on graphics for a while and start building the game in flash….that's gonna be an adventure.

What do you mean a bottom part?

Like robin said it all looks like the same texture…and for the dock, why is it like that and not planks of wood?

Lol, well I'm leaving the sprite beardless because i'm gonna let players pick their beard color and I haven't gotten around to making the beard yet. Thanks for the resource suggestions kusy! i will definitely look into that stuff. And I'm glad you all like the graphics!

rocks in the water. trees. and i don't really get what your pixeling style is…other than solid colors. there's no texture in anything on there...add texture. also, add like boxes and fish nets to the pier. bushes in the grass. patches of dirt or dead grass. just put extra details in there that make it seem more realistic that just a plain empty dock.

Thanks man! That's kinda what I'm aiming for. Like a combination of that, and just a brawny viking man. lol. But i'm trying to shade it a little extra so it doesn't look like too cartoony. Glad you like it!

Tired of using multiple threads, should've just started one in the first place. Well here it is, all my new graphics thrown into one thread. This first post will be continually updated as well as a new post with only the update. SPRITES/EQUIPMENT:::::  - new sprite, might go back and do some more shading once i finish all the frames of movement, but for now this works. TILES:::::  - animated water   - new houses  - fishing village  - only image i had for the trees MONSTERS:::::  jormangund, idle anim  fenrir, idle + attack

 redid the hut finally. if you don't think these new tiles are better than my old ones you should really look at the old hut and compare it to this one lol. such better pixel art. (i know the doorway is not pixel art, but oh well.)
