Hmm, are you limited with the amount of tiles you have? Having a few more tiles to show the light fading off could be beneficial, I think:

@Decroded: I know; that was actually a screenshot. I was testing it out to see how easy it was to map with. I resized it this time.

@Corinthian Baby: I see what you mean. I've made some palette adjustments and did a ton of cleanup. Hope it looks better now! I like the idea of the shadow, but I may want to use this wall tile with other floor tiles. I'll make some shadow variations when I'm done with everything else.

@Dusty: Wow, your lighting looks SO much better than what I did. Thanks; that was a big help! I like what you did with subsequent blocks being lit too, but I think it might be too annoying to tile with. I'll look into it when I've got everything else straightened out.

@Jad: Is this better?


Uh, I think that gray fading light color might be too purple. I'll keep messing with it. I think the floor palette is also not still right, so I'll mess with that more too. Also, as a note, if the character's skin looks too whitish, she's an albino.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

Man, that's very nearly professional work right there, I especially love the colors, which make the general design of the room all the more appealing. The other members have got you covered, so keep it up.

I think you have contrast problems!

Oh wow, Helm, you're totally right! My stuff always has way too little contrast on the first pass for some reason. Is this better? I changed the floor tile too.



The sprite's eyes are supposed to be red glasses, btw. Also, this is designed for viewing at 200%.

Yep, much better. Though, I think the dark bg blue ought to be desaturated a bit.

Ehh, I liked it better with less contrast. It gives the room a hazy look that fluorescent blue lights should make in that kind of area... and that flat dark blue background just looks out of place. Now the whole room looks a bit less special.

Thanks for the feedback, but I prefer it with more contrast.

Also, update!



Might redo the doorway pipes. They need a shadow anyway. And the figure in the tank is much smaller than the sprite. And I forgot lighting around the tank. Hmmm.

That's a figure in the tank? Just looks like cracks in the glass. Lighting highlights on those 4 large pipes flanking the figure tank should probably only be at the very crests or troughs of the arcing bends, unless the light green are not highlights.

I also thought that those were cracks in the glass as opposed to a silhouetted figure.

It also looks like the pipes don't quite attach to the floor at the proper angle at some ends. Might want to consider re-aligning the endpoints to be more in line with the overall perspective.
