Nook Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Lately I've started working on a custom tileset. So far I only have a few forest tiles completed, but I was hoping to get some input before I invest more time into these tiles.>! Colors have been the biggest trouble for me, I think. In that particular screenshot everything feels too green. I can't figure out how to neutralize it.What do you guys think? Anything that needs tweaking?EDIT:An update of recent progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCream Tuesday Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Looks.. outstanding.The pine trees, highlight the to where you have the bottom leaves, they should be poking out further than the rest.The rocks could use a lil work on shape and shading.You have msn?

Dark Crusade Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Great start, but all your palettes are lacking a darker shade. The stumps, leaves and rocks would all look better with an additional darker tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what you mean with the pines?You're right about the rocks. I'm having a difficult time executing the awkward shapes correctly. :sad:Yeah, although I frequent Skype more.@Kreator:> Great start, but all your palettes are lacking a darker shade.

Nook Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 @Sherwin:> They are awesome!! Can you share them? :DThanks :cheesy: but sorry, I'm not doing anything with them until I finish an entire set. Then I'll figure out how to put them to use.New screeny!>! Added a some darker values, although I'm not sure if it was enough. Made a few edits and finally made some cliffs to go along with everything.

Jeff Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I don't like the cliffs. They're too perfect, there is no erosion on them, no irregularities, no cracks.The rest of the tileset is super great, but I think the rocks could use some more contrast.

Andiii Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 The cliffs stand out way too much compared to the grass tilesets. It ends up looking like a fence or wall. You should make the colors match, and perhaps have the grass grow onto the cliff to make it look natural. Besides that, everything else looks great!

Murdoc Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 use hue shifting on the grass or trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCream Tuesday Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 @Murdoc:> use hue shifting on the grass or treesI agree, and do it hard, go with hue shift from red/brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nook Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Latest progress. I may go back and make some changes, however. Everything's becoming a bit too cartoony for my taste. It's giving me Pokemon vibes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infuriated Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Wow! Great improvement, you corrected pretty much everything I was going to pick at in the first post, especially well done on the water ridges. Let's see…The dirt paths seem kind of flat, and not worn down at all. And just some nitpicks, I think the top of the cliffs could use some bushels of grass where it meets the other vegetation. The tree's that aren't pine also do not have any grass poking out in front of the roots like the pine ones do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socuine Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Simply amazing, Nook. The only and only thing I dislike is are the cliffs. You can't seperate them well from the grass, it looks like a wall of stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nook Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Thinking about lessening the brightness of the water. Better or worse?@Toxicity:> Wow!

I was trying to be cautious about overdoing the bushel of grass tile, but that can be fixed by making more vegetation tiles. I'll get on that.I'll add the grass to the other tree as well. Thanks for the tips.@Socuine:> Simply amazing, Nook. The only and only thing I dislike is are the cliffs. You can't seperate them well from the grass, it looks like a wall of stone.I appreciate it! Do you mean the cliffs in general or the cliffs when on grass? My only water tiles so far have grass on them, so I would blame it on that… but I'd still be guilty. I may just edit the current cliff tiles or instead add some new ones that work more according to the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Crusade Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Looks great, you should be proud; that's some amazing pixel art in progress. Your water could use another additional shade, perhaps a highlight. Although I do agree with everyones opinions on the cliffs to a degree, I also thing it is a nice style which reminds me of something I saw on Pixeljoint quite some time ago. Throw some variety on them or something, maybe some alternate cliff tiles which are cracked or just have different layered rocks to make it look more natural. At the moment they do look too smooth and flat.Keep it up! Looking forward to seeing more. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nook Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Most of the new stuff will get posted on the Mavra ORPG topic, but here's a little spelunking in shorts.@Kreator Varied cliff tiles - will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
