Orc environment

on: June 14, 2015, 01:58:19 pm
tiles & environment draft.

some of the rocks r still a bit of random/messy.
not sure where to go with the colours. seems like everything is being muddied due to everything being a shade of brown.
perhaps i should add some coloured assets.

actual game res would be more along these lines...


update:

small colour balance on the midground.

Looks pretty neat so far.
I know you've noted this, and I'm not sure as to how much of a possibility it would be with tiles in mind, but the rock should follow a more natural flow, if facing to either side, left or right, it should be slightly angled, like the mountain in the background; somewhat like this:

A more suitable and subtle flow for a game would be somewhat like this I suppose, but take this as you will, this isn't a rule or anything.
There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Dull rocks are dull.  Some American landscape painters for inspiration
