You can always use Arc Tool, especially when trying to make a big arc. Of course the image shows just the arcs. It needs more work to make it look like on the image above.

Yeah I was even having trouble with the "arc tool" and just got so frustrated, I didn't want to spend any more time on it.
Anyways thanks a lot for the help  :y:

Ok, I ran in to a bit of trouble with this tile I'm trying to make...
Just look at the black lines,  See that arch I made ? I'm trying to create an outer arch around that one.
I can't seem to figure it out. Is there some kind of rule to follow when making 2 arched lines, one inside the other ?


This is the tile I'm trying to create

God, Graal is still around? I was addicted to that when I was like 11. :-[
The brick tiles don't read very well at the moment; what's that grid of x's supposed to be? a floor? and the offset tiles appears to be... a wall inside? Inside walls should be darker then outside ones if you want to show depth, plus brick walls in interiors aren't very common are they? I think it'd be better to have them have wallpaper or something covering them.
You're majorly banding the area at the base of the windshield on the truck. You need to get rid of most those successively lighter shades, and make it so the edges of the remaining ones don't match up. (It's like legos! When the anti-aliasing lines are lined up the whole thing falls apart..)

Thanks for the helpful criticism. 

Yes the grid of X's is supposed to be an outdoor patio tile, I made it in 2 seconds just to try and show that those areas are supposed to be floor.  Those tiles are more about the brick.

the offset wall you are referring to, Is supposed to be a little balcony kind of thing... I know the back/inside wall should be darker... I tryed to dither it with a darker colour to give it a darker kind of feel, but guess it didn't work.  It isn't really an inside wall though, it's just the wall behind the balcony.

I also see what you mean abou the truck, I'll fix it.

Thanks again for the help !!!

Clicking on links to see images is annoying.

Also having a big white canvas with a lonely truck is pretty silly for posting purposes. Cut that slack space off for posting it.
Same goes for big wall tiles where you have the same stuff lots of times. It does not have to be that big to show how the tiles tile.

It was like 5 in the morning when I posted them last night, I was a bit tired/lazy... I'll remember for the future.

And also just any suggestions, you can think of would be helpful.  I pretty much self taught myself the very little I know... So I just thought I could learn something from you guys, since I have never really had any real criticism or comments about my stuff.

Hey
I started fooling around with pixel art about 6 months ago.  I first got interested from playing this 2D pixel MORPG called Graal. Eventually I realized the game was a piece of shit, and decided to  try and make my own Graal style game or at least take part in making one.
Im hoping to get a lot better with pixel art in a short period of time.  So I thought I'd post some of my stuff here and get some advice.

Please all suggestions are welcome.
