XxArchAngelxX Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 ok, so i was wondering if there was a reason (Apart from its Ducking hard work) that no-one Draws tile sets by hand?i am asking because i was thinking of doing that for my games tile sets and sprites… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keebler Elf Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Mainly the reason is its hard work. Also it just takes alot of time. If your not going to start till you have a custom tile set then you have to wait a long time before you can start mapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxArchAngelxX Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 yea i know that already, i am not too worked up about "OH I NEED TO START MAPPING!!""MY GAME CANT TAKE MORE THAN A YEAR TO MAKE!!" no i am willing to wait and do everything it takes, so if the only problem is hard work and time then i guess i will start C: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keebler Elf Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Also there is the problem of makeing good tiles. So make sure you try and get some cummunity in put cause you may love your tiles and others may hate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Refuge Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 What do you mean??? I make my tilesets by hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxac Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I think he means like drawing them on paper and scanning them… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keebler Elf Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 No he proboly just means pixle arting them because its fricken impossible to draw them to scale by hand. That is unless you use 32 by 32 graph paper and scale it down. But then when you want to see hwo it looks you have to walk like 50 feet away to see.

XxArchAngelxX Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 i do mean on paper, i want a clean painted look for my game. i know how hard it is to make it to scale but i think it will be worth it in the end.thank-you everyone for the feedback.

Keebler Elf Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Good luck then because that will take alot of graph paper and a very good eraser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippoman789 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 wait…you dont do them by hand?!i thought you made sumthin then cut it up into boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Refuge Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 What you can do, is print out 32x32 grids on paper, and use that as a reference.Something like the above, but taking up the whole piece of paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippoman789 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 or draw a tree then convert it into 32x32 boxes. then remove the boxes and put it into a tile set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keebler Elf Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Well since your doing it on such a larger scale remember that you will also not get as good of blending and such on the smaller scale so you have to make each box only one color and one shade of it. I tryed the graph paper thing and found out it was harder for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Comnena Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I'm working on graphics and drawing them by hand. Well, I'm manually moving the mouse and clicking each pixel where I want it. Later on when I do some after detail work I might use some filters and tricks, but for now it's all manual tedious pixel farming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
