IceCream Tuesday Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 > The little things at the top (their name escapes me) having straight line art seems kind of weird because everything else has little variations here and there whilst they don't.> > Apart from that, wow, amazing work.Merlons in that specific style. Else its a battlement. But I agree. Can't point out why but just at the quick glance it seems off. May just be that there is very little light difference on the top parts than the side. But I'll take another look when i return tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infuriated Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I feel like the line art is pretty pronounced throughout the entire wall, It doesn't look terrible or anything but I can't put my finger on it… I can't really think of a concrete way to improve it either, so take it as you will lol.I really like the way you shade/detail your art, particularly the bricks and foliage. Scary thing is, I feel like you still haven't lived up to your full potential, can't wait to see your work a couple years down the road.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greendude120 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Im no pro, but is it me or the angle is much lower than on RMXP. i feel like this would be less for a top-down and more for a side-scroller. i dunno im no expert in sprites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a wide range of angles one can use in this style. Think of it in terms of degrees. If you're looking straight down at an object that's 90 degrees. Anywhere from about 70 to 30 degrees is what is normally used for top-down games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nook Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 I've been short on free time lately but I'll have some more progress to share soon enough hopefully.Some good points.Is it possible part of the problem could be caused the wall only being a brick thick? Traditionally, stone walls have depth. Mine lacks depth, which may add to the perspective confusion.I intend to add more behind it, like a walkway or something. That'll fix it, I think.As for it looking "off," I'll play around with it a bit.Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luriok Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I thought it was "off" because of the very top portion of the battlements. I feel as though the light colored line that changes the segment to the top from the side is too light and looking at that made me feel like I was looking at some in 3D but without the glasses. Otherwise I love it.Hope this helps some  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I think the main problem with the wall is that the battlements have straight, unbroken lines in them. Try adding more short gaps in those lines and antialias them more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazingShadow Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 > Dissatisfaction lead to abandonment.> > Here's try #3> > > > I'll get around to the grass tile next.Too me, it looks as though there is too much of the lightest shade on the leaves, maybe add another shade between that shade and the shade 1 below it.

Nook Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Went for earthier tones, redid the wall, adjusted the tree a tiny bit, and made a grass mock-up to go along with it. Feelin' kinda iffy on the grass… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enruin Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Beautiful as always Nook, can't see anything to criticize other than what people have already said. I do like the earthy tones more, but #3 has it's own special style. It's all so nice, whichever you choose, I think they both give off their own good vibes.

Infuriated Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 The wall looks 100% better, I agree with perhaps an additional highlight on the grass since it feels a little bit flat and carpet-like right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nook Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for the laugh, Enruin. Totally caught me off guard with that picture haha.Some tiny progress:Grass is proving to be a weakness.  Several attempts haven't left me with much to show for. I may just ignore it for now until I can try again with a fresh mind.Next step is an actual house, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magezhilo Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Really like the look of this. One thing you might want to change is the dark brown outline going around the bottom half of the leafs. Just changing it to dark green I think would give the same effect of making it stand out without having a weird nonsensical color in the mix. Can't wait to see some buildings  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had some sort of effective hue blending it could have worked better, but instead you only have one stray color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nook Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 The buildings will be medieval timber-framed style. I'm fond of the look, and it will allow me to use both of the completed textures on one structure. Should have something done in a few days.I appreciate the positive feedback and the critiques.  I'll give modifying the tree's border a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
