Tileset and Trees

[xier]

hey all, I am also working on this project .. I was wondering if anyone could provide feedback / guidance as to how I can make this castle fit better with alco's setting.

i want this to look like a decrepit ruin that you could find in the grass lands, should i darken it? it needs a nice colour to compliment the grass as well. and sorry for the lines, it is currently required for our engine.

Thank you

you can post images at 100% size. we can click them to zoom in.

one simple idea is if multiple people are creating assets is if they wip them up quickly to a certain point and then have one asset overlord who finishes them all off at the pixel level and color choice level so they have consistent rendering.

seems like a pretty efficient way to work at least until the point where more party members are comfortable that their styles are aligned.

Probably best to start your own thread and link to this one Xier. Advice off the top of my head would be to simplify the textures (although that is a lovely wall texture), make sure your perspective is consistent (compare the top of the tower to the statue for example) finally make everything a bit bolder and more exaggerated. Oh and don't match perspective to the character assets, the character assets are at a different perspective to the perspective of the ground assets (3/4), there is nothing to do about that at this point.

@decroded
I completely agree,

Unfortunately I don't have much control over the art direction / organization of this project unless I take a personal vested interest in managing the project on my own time. I like to generally put my all into freelance work but I can't afford to work for free on someone's else project without some kind of incentive.

Edit:


I tried to make the dirt wall look less like a drop into the void. Also touched the trees up further.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
