Really nice work so far, it would look great in a game!

It can work either way, but you should pick one and stick to it as much as possible.

Great job so far, the colors are very vibrant and interesting. :y:

Post by: Randommonkies on August 25, 2010, 03:47:55 am: maybe have a bit more of a variable transition from light to dark on the wall, and bottom tiles? It looks a little flat compared to the top tiles atm- I like where this is going though!

It is a bit surprising that the "supporting, background" rocks are lighter than the foreground rocky platform it supports, though. I don't know too much whether I'm in love with the minimalist design of the blue rocks just below the grass or whether they're crying for you to give them more volume, though.

Oh! My apologies, I guess I didn't look close enough. The flowers and rocks are behind the platform, where the bridge is simply part of the platform tile-wise. My mistake.

Post by: CrazyMLC on September 20, 2010, 10:49:11 pm: Everything, the mountains especially, look lovely.

However, the color the dirt fades into irks me a bit. Maybe a bit darker? Or maybe make the color a bit closer to blue?

EDIT: While admiring the mountains, I noticed the AA is a bit off... was this on purpose?
