My Tileset Making

[XPiXel]

So, I'm new to making tilesets and I tried to make some for my modern game.

What do you think? I removed all the text by the way, the ones in the shop and the billboard. Except maybe the stop sign.

It's just a load of lines. It's terrible.

[XPiXel]

Well, I'll try improving it.
Considering I hate coloring my work.

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.

There is a lack of sidewalk.

Apparently you hate doing any sort of work in your artistic pieces at all. Why are you even bothering if you don't enjoy it?

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.

Then you don't do art. Trying to fob off a load of MSPaint lines which were constructed with less understanding of basic perspective and structure than my 4 year old brother as 'art' is just… strange.

The would look decent if you actually colored and shaded them. good tilesets take time and dedication.. you cant just throw a bunch of black lines together and call it a tileset…

I tried my best! I just can't colour it.

[XPiXel]

Your sarcasm offends me xD.
I told you, I CAN color but I can't do it nicely, unless you want a pure red, blue or whatever color there is.
So please, don't judge the color yet…

[ddunit]

You don't colour a tileset, you texture it.

Read up on shading, palettes and a few other things and you'll be all set.

[Bonk]

There's millions of tutorials on the internet for pixel art, just have a look around and you'll improve.

For the outlines so far, you should round the corners of the road a little, make the roads wider and make each brick in the wall an even side. Remember that where your black lines are will be mortar.

The huge advertisement is completely flat, it needs 3Dicating. It might look good if you had a changing picture over it, showing in game events. The lines in the road are just lines, they're too thin to be proper road markings. You should probably change the stop sign to be floating around somewhere, in case you want to use it elsewhere. It's also flay on the bottom, not rounded. Try putting some grass tufts?

That's all I can think right now.

can your tileset even be cut and condensed into neat little 32x32 tiles?

if you can't its not a tile set, it's a pre-made map. Those don't go over to well using a tile system.

Usually people dont smile when theyre offended but anyway… at least if you color it with some kind of color it will look much better than it does now... i mean no offense of course :P

Yes but you could still use a pre-made map as a tileset, you just have to set the h/w right, by sending it all the way to the left, and ending it on the divisional line of 32\. Then in the map editor, you could just select the whole it for layering.

[Mr.LLoyd]

If you don't color the tiles and don't add shading and stuff why are you trying to do tileset everything will just look flat and boring.

[Fuu]

Your excuses are shit.

[XPiXel]

I already have someone to color the tiles. Locked until next post.
