Horror Themed Iso-tiles

on: August 16, 2006, 05:28:48 pm
A collection of horror-themed iso-sets.
Started working on some graphics for a new game, but totally botched them up, they cannot be used.
I was pretty happy with them, so I thought I'd show em off before they gather dust on my HDD.

I know I haven't posted anything in ages.. sorry!



Haunted House : 1 hour 40 mins (I hate drawing houses)
Graveyard : 50 mins
Cabin in woods: 1 hour 15 mins

more editing (matching scales of all three sets) : 20 mins

It sounds great but I don't see anything :(
Can you host them on another server or post external links to the pictures?

they remind me too much of thomas kinkade, which is a bad thing, because he redefined triteness in art.  i have just slightly less respect for him than i do for bob ross.

however, these are well done despite the unfortunate resemblence.  i particularly like the design of the leftmost house

Thanks for the comments everyone.

fil_razorback: Maybe wait a while.. I have no other place to upload them..

Kon: Nothing technically wrong, just design wise, they were supposed to look like film sets, ie. with matte backdrops, ropes, etc..

Adarias: I looked at kinkade's stuff, but I couldn't see any resemblance. What do you see?

Dude, whoa, hey...Bob Ross never done nothing wrong to no one.

As for your things, I have to agree that they're a bit bright and cheery color-wise to portray haunted.

i should have added "as an artist."  im sure he was a great guy....

the middle one doesnt remind me of kinkade so much, but the outer too have got the atmosphere, palette, and subject matter similar to a million and a half of his works
