I have a question about tilesets for environments. I'm trying my hand at a first videogame and plan to make levels with Tiled in the brush mode. I have tried making several tilesets that work for the most part, but it seems I am always missing some tiles or having some extra that are unnecessary. I looked for some sort of standardisation and also looked at how other games handle their edges and corners. Link's Awakening for example takes the path of making transparent corners and just slapping those on any environment, which is too apparent. Other games have all sorts of small extra corner tiles which wouldn't work too wel with Tiled.

Is there some sort of standard set that can be filled in with any sort of environment like the single tile, double tile, corners etc? For example as to what I'm having problems with, this is the tileset for water and land what would stick out of it. It is created by following what most other tilesets do. I notice that I am missing some ways to make bends and there is no tileset for a single hole.



And this is what I mean with problems when creating tilesets in Tiled, as you can see there is no way to leave a single block of space when trying to put down a tile at the marked  position, it autofills the tile below as ground even though a water tile would fit with no trouble.



Probably a very arbitrary question and I'm probably way overthinking this, but making tilesets seems to have very strict guidelines.

Hello everyone.

I've been a member for quite a while now but I'm still new to this. I mainly make digital art (although not very good one) and am still trying to find tutorials that can really help me on my way.

Most of this stuff is just testing how pixel art works in general:

Handheld


Random something


Card weapons


iPhone (posted this one already a long time ago)



The following piece I'd like to finish. I'll be searching for more tutorials on how to properly shade these forms and how lighting from the middle beam would illuminate the piece.
My question here is the perspective. It's a bit weird but the top piece should indicate you are looking at the teleporter from the left. Does the perspective convey this? And do the top and bottom pieces look like discs or is the perspective from those off as well?

Teleporter


Edit:
What I mean with perspective from the left.

Hi there!
I have recently discovered the art of the pixel and tried to make some myself.


Some guy with a beard. First piece.

A Gamecube, trying something in isometric.


Some hallway.

What do you guys think?

Edit: just tried to make something nicer in isometric.
