That is altogether uncalled for. He's not the one being uncivil. Roll Eyes
Right? Thanks, Surt.
Besides, I thought my post was pretty useful, anyway, Beast. I was letting you know that your tiles *do* look bad, no matter what you'd like to believe. Sadly, even with the advice of myself and others posted here, you're still using your dung-walls. Feel free to keep telling people like Surt that his edits are horrible, though. Continue telling honest people like me to fuck off. Keep right on ignoring any criticism of any kind. And stay a low-level artist forever!
Or just admit that you were wrong to shrug off so many critiques. It'll sting at first, but a few years from now, you'll thank yourself for it when your art is miles better than it is now. =)
And now that I've critiqued your attitude, onto your art:
The palm tree leaves are way too small - real palm leaves are pretty wide. Right now it looks like you have palm
trunks that have had their tops removed and replaced with small shrubberies. The grass tufts you have right now are the same exact size as the palm leaves you have going on, which makes this error even more apparent. Your water is super desaturated, which makes it look like muddy swamp water, instead of the crystal clear "mirage" type water I'd usually expect in a desert setting. Speaking of the water, the way the grass tiles into it is a little strange looking to me. On top of all this, all of your items are strangely sized in relation to one another, which makes it hard to determine the scale of things. Are you making any character sprites for this, or not? I think it'd help you to have a "human" sprite to judge sizes on for everything else. You might be going for that old style of RPG graphics, where the sizes of everything make no sense in relation to each other, but that's usually on overworld maps, whereas this looks like it's supposed to be a playable area, especially since the cliff walls look so huge, and the dunes in the sand are so shallow. Something to think about.
All that said, I like the general color scheme you have going on, and the set on the whole is pretty easy on the eyes, even if it's nothing spectacular looking. It's also nice of you to be giving away art to free-art sites.
