Jeff Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Old:>! I'm especially concerned about the trees. Thoughts/advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I think they shouldn't be so round. Maybe more natural and less round, more contrast with the colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudsky Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The trunk and roots doesn't look like trunks and roots (or atleast in my point of view). Lessen the puffiness of the tress, they look like candies.The cliff is a little to detailed than the rest of the tiles.I love simplistic and minimalist style.Keep up the good work and best of luck for you.Excited to see what the rest of the tiles would look like.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 @Niko:> I think they shouldn't be so round. Maybe more natural and less round, more contrast with the colors?Yeah, I'll try making them a little more irregular. I know the colors are all really gray right now, I'm not too concerned about the palette until I can finish this tree.@SkyFox:> The trunk and roots doesn't look like trunks and roots (or atleast in my point of view).I'll try making them a bit more wooden.@SkyFox:> Lessen the puffiness of the tress, they look like candies.Not sure what you mean by that. The shape, or the foliage pattern?@SkyFox:> The cliff is a little to detailed than the rest of the tiles.No, the tree isn't detailed enough. It'll all come together, just trust me on that.

Keebler Elf Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The trunk is way too small for such a perfectly round piece of foliage. On a tree that is so bushy you want a good sized trunk imo. However overall I think these are some nice looking tiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Improved the trees and the palette. I'm still not sure what to do with the trunk, anyone have different input now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfie Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Looks really awesome dude, I'm in love with those cliffs :). Trees looks very unique, and I can't wait to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luriok Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Looks really really good. Man you've improved your pixel art so much, great job.As for the trunk, I like it as it is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 @Socuine:> Way better than your first attempt. I just love those trees and cliffs!Way better than the first attempt in the old spoiler? I think you may have me confused with another guy.@Azy:> Looks really really good. Man you've improved your pixel art so much, great job.Funny thing is, I was improving without actually making much pixel art. Just looking at others' pixel art goes such a long way. Maybe I'll redo DoD's tiles sometime, make them very modern instead of retro.Edit–Water, rocks, and a bunch of other doodad tiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luriok Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The flowers look a little flat and as for the boulders the bottom of it just throws me off…. Not sure why it just doesn't look like it sitting in the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why it just doesn't look like it sitting in the grass.I think I might keep the flowers looking flat, but I'll see how they look with shading.As for the boulders, you're totally right. I forgot to have little blades of grass peaking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Large trees, flowers edited, rocks edited.How do I make the tree trunks not look bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luriok Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 The large trees look like they are just wider versions of the other tree with maybe a different perspective? Idk hard to tell. Rocks look better as do the flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 @Azy:> The large trees look like they are just wider versions of the other tree with maybe a different perspectiveI wasn't really going for a different kind of tree. The trees just seemed too small, so I made them bigger. I don't know if I'll continue to use the little trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithrandirr Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 It seems that you have forgotten the darker brown outline around the trunks on your new trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 @Cichol:> It seems that you have forgotten the darker brown outline around the trunks on your new trees.Nope, cut those out. Was it better with the darker outline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithrandirr Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I think it looked better, but who knows, it could look worse on the new trees. If you don't mind, I'd like to see the new trees with 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Got tired of trees, made dry grass tiles. These are also more urgent as they will be used earlier.What does eclipse think? Could these be used in a starting area, or only unique super niche areas? Maybe too bad to be used at all?The starting area is a little ranching town with grass that is dry most of the year. If the dry grass tiles don't work, I'll just use green grass tiles with lots of dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luriok Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I like the color of the dry grass, I just don't think it looks like dry grass. Maybe add more dirt spots idk really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithrandirr Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Oh, so you do! I didn't realize. In this location, will there be dried-out trees? If so, you could try adding piles, or scattered, dry leaves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, you could try adding piles, or scattered, dry leaves?Did you not see the grass tufts or something? They should be visible in the image I posted.Also, I dunno about trees yet. I might make dead(no leaves) trees, or I could make trees with brown leaves, or I could have no trees at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
