General Discussion / Re: Bright Background Tiles, possible?
« on: November 19, 2011, 03:03:54 am »
Very clear and helpful there Tourist, I appreciate it! For the most part so far I've done totally fine just darkening backgrounds, but now I'm trying to make a sterile looking lab tileset, and I definitely want it be very white-ish in general. I hadn't thought about reducing details, though now that you say it it seems pretty obvious. :)

General Discussion / Bright Background Tiles, possible?
« on: November 18, 2011, 09:12:56 pm »
Hey guys, this is sort of a general sprite art theory question. When working with background and foreground tiles, I often find that I need to make background tiles a lot darker to make it clear what one can walk on and what one can't. Sometimes I want to make a background that is close to white though, say for a very clean plaster wall or painted concrete. I find that I can't actually make it very white because of the ambiguity that occurs between the background and foreground, which makes a lot of my backgrounds look fairly gray. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? I can post some examples if that would help, but I imagine many of you have dealt with this too. Thanks! :)

Pixel Art / Re: [WIP] Tree Trunk

I actually did go through the whole process. I blocked it out first, so maybe the WIP tag isn't quite right here because it's more like a "release candidate" haha. I agree with you, though, that it doesn't really look like any earthly tree... I'm making it for a rainforest tileset, and I think part of my problem is that I don't really know what kind of tree I want to have. I actually like the way this one looks, but it doesn't fit in that context very well.

Pixel Art / [WIP] Tree Trunk
« on: April 03, 2011, 10:46:53 pm »
Hello all, this is my first time posting here, as I finally got the courage to post some of my stuff and release to the wolves as it were :)



This is a tree trunk I've been working on. It doesn't have a top and that is intentional. Trees have always been kind of intimidating for me, so this is my attempt to get past that little boundary. I'm not worrying about number of colors for the record, and right now it has 7. Critique away, I'm used to being critiqued and it does not intimidate me :P
