Ice - Fire Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hello,I have decided to start doing some Isometric pixel art for a game I plan on making, I am new to pixel art, in fact only two days into it counting today. I welcome all criticism good or bad in hopes of becoming better, currently I am downright horrible in terrains, (at least that's what I think of them.) I have cleaned up my post a little in case your interested in certain aspects of it. Small update,Fence is now a complete set, I will be working on adding a gate and optional variants soon.**Wood Objects, Tools, and Structures:**>! >! **Built Example:**>! **Section Pieces**>!

Jaiden Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Suggestion for the wood floor, add a little more texture like the fence and also do some horizontal lines to make panels. Wood floors aren't just straight boards.For the dirt, it looks good, but you might want to add a little more variation with the colors to give it more depth.

Ice - Fire Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Thanks, and yea I agree on the wood floor, it was more of a mock on the general idea and theme for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your advise though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaron Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 It looks good for a beginner.About 3-4 months ago, I started a ISO farming game and all the tiles, etc had to be ISO. Took me awhile to make them, but now they look amazing, and I just want to say. Good luck. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice - Fire Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 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.

deathtaker26 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bret Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
