Tribal Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Make the tree's look less like a gradient (i know they're not, but at first sight they look like it)Make the building (is it a building?) wider and give it more architectural features.

Dark Crusade Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Alrighty, Kreator to the rescue-The first issue that catches my eye is the shading. I see pillow shading and gradients. When shading, avoid pillow shading and gradients. Take the time to learn some how to sprite texture, and also, where is your light source? When spriting, you should always be conscious of where your light source is, so you can shade, and such, so that it corresponds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Crusade Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 No that would be horrible. I'd rant about why not to, but I have done so many times before and don't feel like repeating myself.Stick to MS Paint. All of WoH's tilesets were done strictly in paint, as a matter of fact.

All of WoH's tilesets were done strictly in paint, as a matter of fact.Wow, thanks for the big tip, that's how I currently do mine. Btw do you any special techniques (other than syphing) to make your GFX look awesome, such as using a brush or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Crusade Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Well the only tool I use is the pencil, the selection tool, the rubber (to siph), zoom and the color picker. Note that MS paint has a thumbnail option which is handy, because zooming in/out/in/out sucks.When you get a little better, you will learn techniques such as dithering and texturing.
