The stuff stuck to the bottom-right corner was stuff I was saving in case I might wanna look at that later. Forgot to remove that to make this more presentable on the forums but what the heck. The random rectangle which our character is sitting is gonna be one of those fancy armchairs.



So, I'm looking to improve on my craft of tilesets. This is not made for any particular game project. I would like to make a Victorian-inspired living room with a character quietly reading a book. I also intend this to be as well-rendered as what I manage to do with this earlier experiment:


(Canopy tiling sucks but I learned a lot from it seeing how SD3 is better at the same tiling approach I copied.  )

I'll be posting my progress as I go.  Let me know if there's anything at this early stage that is worth pointing out. Color scheming, proportions, perspective, interior design, stuff about the big picture. I feel a bit clueless with the couch as I'm noticing that RPG perspective looks weird with vertically-elongated forms like the sofa. I haven't studied Victorian/steampunk stuff enough but it's a setting I'm interested in gaining a bit of familiarity.

Pix3M: thanks for the info that's very useful, but how do i do that creating tiles that can have multiple intercalated branches? In the end is not the leaves that are displaced at random, its the sum of depth + branches + leaves. and they must look cool when placed side by side

This is a problem I need to spend more time with. However, looking at how Seiken Densetsu 3 tiles their leaves, I copied the manner they do that:



You can easily see the tile grid with the canopies but it gets the job done of hiding the individual trees by basically blending them into each other.

Pix3m, that looks pretty nifty, I'm not for sure if you could tell the hair was a long pony tail though ha ^^ And I'll try that Seiseki. Thanks for the quick response guys!

Then I disagree with the character design. 

Often you want to think about what their silhouettes look like. Remember those "Who's that pokemon!" minigames? I went with spiky hair because it creates a more interesting-looking character.

Looks like quite a good dirt texture, it's hard to tell if there is a grid at all. However I don't like the triangularness of the shape. Try making textures with more roundness kind of like this:

Interesting example... that one is obviously made of a tile grid. o.O
