Taking to heart some of the C+C I've recieved on at this board I became motivated to study the fundamentals and try my hand at more traditional mediums. I'm looking foward to getting back to pixel art someday to apply the things I'm learning.  Looking at the pixel art section, It's amazing how much several of you have improved in the past few months!

Bwahahaha, you should make it to where the tanks can run over other units, monster truck style.  Nice job on fitting all that info into such a small screen.

I'm thinking about redoing this from scratch (things you guys said motivates me to tackle it on a more epic and finished scale) but after I visit a few more ideas and formats. Been doing character design for so long now I've got an itch to make environments to put them in.

Thanks for the feedback and compliments. I'll read through the critiques again when I feel more ready to try out the other parts of this idea that I didn't have the persistence or know how to finish.

Thanks to st0ven and whoever put together the tutorials on pixel-art for info on how to work in iso. I looked at those a lot while figuring out how to make ground tiles that would tessellate.

Thanks again for the comments guys. :]

Hey Camus, Your critique is along the lines of a thought I had. Was thinking of studying a lot of the old masters (heh, kind've funny when 10 year old art is considered old) far back as NES to see how they tackled some problems an to appreciate how things have progressed. feature minimization does have me stumped. seems like something you have to develop an intuition for rather than having specific methods to follow.
