Grass to Dirt Transition

[Harris6310]

As I am so bored waiting for EO's milestone release I thought I would try and make some graphics. Here is a transition from grass to dirt. Please tell me what you think of it. I know the tiles look horrible tiled but it's mainly the transition I want to hear from you about.

i like it, just wouldnt make corners so square looking maybe try to make them a little bit more round

Too much shadow. It either looks like the dirt is piled atop the grass, or the grass is hovering over the dirt. Lose that thick border, and as Draken said, make it less square.

Is that the burn tool being used in pixelart? D:
Anyway, not a clean transition, as Ballie stated, the grass is hovering over the dirt.
Could always try mixing the two together or just not having any shadow. It would improve it.

I agree, the shadow is too much.  Just make it a little thinner.

PILLOW (SHADING) FIGHT.

No seriously, avoid that.

NEVER EVER FOLLOW A PIXEL ART TUTORIAL ON DEVIANT ART, They know NOTHING about it.

Firstly.. they are shading a flat object with a curve..
There is NO need for dithering on this. Look up other transition tiles.. There shouldn't be shadows making them transition.. it should be more or less the grass thats blending into the dirt.

Updated it a bit, started using new colours. What do you think?


[ddunit]

Bit better, still looks like it's hovering though.

There no good blending between the grass and the blended zone. Try going around the edge with a dark brown or dark green pencil and do a very thin dither line along that divide (grass to "shadow" color).
