Just wanted to show a small example of what I have for tiles at the moment & what I'm able to do with them (which isn't near what I want to do with them).
Not really looking for too much crit. on this, I'll take some on the sand & sand/dirt combo tiles & the general look of the water though.
I can already see a few things I want to change in the sand & sand/dirt combo tiles, I'm content with how the dirt looks, but am open to suggestions on how to get it to look more like dirt
If you're at all curious about the grass/sand combo tiles, I thought about it alot before choosing to throw the dark dirt color in there, no it's not meant for shading.
I haven't done any water/sand, water/dirt, water/grass combo tiles yet... just decided to throw the tiles i had up there, I know it looks horrible. lol
That's pretty much all I have to say to defend the way the image looks, aside from the fact that I didn't use my extra grass, dirt, and sand tiles to break it up more.
What I'll be working on soon, after I get the basic tiles done, is another 1 or 2 sets for each combo tile to give the terrain more, uh... flavor o.O (such as having the grass stick out more into the sand or dirt & stuff like that.)
Anyways... back to work for me.
