Vortigem Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'm back to work on Dawn of Light's art once again. Just recently I completed the dirt tiles and decided to throw together a quick example map of my tile set in use.The light grass is also new.Thoughts so far?

Rithy58 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 A little dark but okay.The sprites and tiles went together really well and they're really good.Sincerely,Rithy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddunit Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 That tree looks squashed, same thing with the stump, apart from that it's VERY good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quite sure I'm seeing it as 'squashed'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zade_o Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Like, the circumference of the trunk seems to be way too huge for a tree to be that small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortigem Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Ah, alright then I know what you mean.That tree will be a more rare tree in the game, the fat trunk is intended for a slight fantasy feel. I have typical trees in development as we speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harris6310 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 They look awsome, I really like how there alot smaller than normal graphics. They give more room for stuff to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They give more room for stuff to do.Exactly! Now take into consideration that DoL will be using scrolling maps. Not only will I have plenty of room to work with for creating lush environments, but the more room I have to work with, the more room players have to play, and more room for players means more room for large scale raids & territorial conflicts between players.Booyah.

Harris6310 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 It would make a really good PvP game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soljah Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Nicely done Vort, You know I've been quietly hoping you were still working on this when you had that big leave. XD These graphics are awesome man, but same advice about the tree trunk, a little wide considering the size of the buildings next to it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummerpete Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I agree with the trunk.I love the houses though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zade_o Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 oh one other small thing, move the bushes down a few pixels because they look like they're ultra close to the wall and it makes it look like the tree is paper thin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is complete yet.I'm looking more for constructive criticism or suggestions on improving details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddunit Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I also think the tree with leaves needs a |–-| resizing :\.. The leaves looks like a green cloud O-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortigem Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 I do agree that the fat tree needs work. As a matter of fact I'm still working on trees and could use some suggestions on improving them.Above is an image of a new base tree I'm working on. I'm fairly content with the trunk, however I cant seem to get the tree top/leaves to connect well with the trunk.Further more, I still have to add shadow/shading and I'm not sure if the tree has been drawn at the proper angle for DoL.Grrr I hate doing trees more than anything. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zade_o Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 more bunches of leaves need to come down over the trunk because it makes the angle look weird if that much of the trunk shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look awesome!Thanks mate ;)Alright, here is an update. I added Tall Grass to the base of some trees and the houses to try giving the tiles a better blend. I also re-drew the trees however I'm still not satisfied with them and considering how I can re-work them.Further more I also completed a well and flag(s). (the flags will be used to mark which faction of players own specific towns, castles etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
