Beanie93 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'm going to start my own game soon, and I started working on its graphics. Honestly, it's the first time I touch pixel art. I just looked at others' work and tried to get something done.So far, I got a grass tile:[](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/84/grasstb.png/)Sorry for the quality, by the way.Comments with constructive critism are welcome.

Lenton Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Looks ok, maybe another colour would make it look better. Using the 'noise' effect is a good way of making grass IMO.The quality is fine but in future you should use [Eclipse's file host](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/) to upload your images.

Fuu Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Is the game going to be Retro? If so, then that looks fine.Off topic: The word "stand" in your signature looks terrible… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strafe Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 You should use the eclipse file host and upload your picture there as we cannot properly assess it with shit quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanie93 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 @Fuu, indeed. About the signature… it's just the logo of a game I'm a member of. Not made by me.I worked on dirt, just before replying.[](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/#e54e6a9e3a9ddf83510a91d35bb1cb3a.gif)Tell me what you think, and, if it doesn't look retro, I'd appreciate advice on it.

Jeff Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Make the dirt less orange, and then make a better transition between grass and dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanie93 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 What do you mean with a better transition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowdeath Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Extremely Retroish.And yes, needs better transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strafe Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 To Achieve Retroness:1.Draw tiles 16x162.Draw them well.3.Keep practicing.4.Look at 8 bit and 16 bit games for inspiration.5\. Resize them without losing quality to 32x32.RepeatGood luck.That dirt needs to look like brown dirt not sick. Transition = the changing of a to b. Your transition is just grass then 'dirt' it should be only a tiny bit for grass to dirt, blended, the grass would grow through and the dirt would not just cover the grass. Keep practicing.

lollicat Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 The orange clashes with the green, so as said, make it brown. Also, for better transitioning, you could try a bit of dithering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanie93 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 I will do what Strafe has suggested me. I'm re-drawing those 2 tiles in a more 'retro-ish' style.Thanks everyone for the comments, will have something else to show in the meantime.
