Murdoc Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 the new sprites head, and the leaves need to come down a bit to fit the perspective better.. other than that, nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stava Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I did a really quick edit on some things I think could be improvedTree doesn't seem to have any depth and shading.. it's just a plain texture repeated.. instead of focusing on the leaves you should focus on the tree as whole. Make a decision on the light source and follow it..Sprites I think could use more dramatic poses and more unique designs, I used Duran sprite from Seiken Densetsu 3 as reference. I would suggest sketching the sprites on paper first.If you are having trouble with texturing the grass, there's actually really no need to texture it.. :- )I think the tileset should be more natural looking, I'd suggest references like Chrone Trigger, Seiken Densetsu.. I know I can't make a tileset as good as these games, and neither can you, but I'm not telling you to do the impossible, what I mean is just to follow the shapes/shading done in these games, take a look at the cliff for example, while yours has 2 straight lines on sides, theirs has more bumps on sides making it more natural..Hope I'm not being too harsh with this comment, since my intention is not to downgrade anyone.. I see the work has been improved through the versions you've posted, and I'm glad to see that you guys are giving your best.. Even though I can't provide you with the best critique and best edits /examples I'm hoping I help you at least a little bit :- )Goodluck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmiguu Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I really like the v1.1 character sprites. There's just _something_ about them… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just _something _about them…Yer i also think there better, they are bigger and leave more room for detail, i think that might be why :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabzy1990 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 some more work on the cliffs, updated first post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdoc Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 the head of the sprite and tree leaves appear to be arching back into the screen. you should move them down a bit to better fit the top-down perspective… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabzy1990 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Think i sorted the sprite out pretty easily by just moving eyes like you said.To fix tree i realised i must totally redo the texture of leaves, this definitely has a direction of light source but im not too sure of final product, what do you guys think ?

Andiii Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I like your new tree a lot :D The cliff looks better too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabzy1990 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 do you think it fits in well tho, something about it im not sure about :S lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andiii Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Yea, the tree fits well. For the cliff, you might wanna remove the shadow that makes it pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murdoc Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 The new tree looks great! Although as Andiii mentioned the cliffs pop out too much in comparison with the sprite/tree. I'd also remove the outline at the bottom of the cliff so it flows into the grass more. Nice work! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stava Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I'd suggest you checking out Cure's tutorial on PixelJoint - [Link](http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299) - Specially the AA(anti-aliasing) part of the tutorial, I think it would help you with the style you are trying to achieve..That tree is looking way better, but I think you shouldn't have mirrored the sides, they should differ to get more natural look.. :- ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
