Tiles

on: May 09, 2008, 12:49:17 pm
So, I'm making some tiles I'll hopefuly someday use for a game. And also just a bit for practice.
Here's the first one:


Basicly just a main stone with some grass tile.
14 colours if I'm correct.
I'll submit more, as soon as I finish them :)

Tiled:

I know the mech doesn't really fit in. But I havent figured out what to do to fix it either.
Anyway, critique much apreciated.

That's a great tile.
Only thing that puts me off is the vertical dark area in the middle of the tile
that makes a clearly visible repeating pattern.

impressive artwork, though there are still some places that clearly do not "tile" well.
i tried to highlight what seems the most problematic to my eyes :


maybe bringing the edges of the pattern in the center of your picture would help to work on this ...

Helm's edit is a step in the right direction, but it also gives you a much clearer horizontal divide between the dark and bright tiles in the middle, so I'd also break that up a bit. :)

The only C+C I can give here, is that it miiiight need a little more contrast. Your tile kind of reminded me of this piece: http://pixeljoint.com/pixelart/17613.htm, and there you can see what I'm talking about contrast.

Although, I don't think it's a vital thing to change IMO

EDIT: Arhhg! I forgot to comment on how awesome I think it looks!!!! I do think it looks really good, great work!!

Thanks guys.


Normal -------------------------------------------------higher contrast.

I hope I took care of the tiling isues. But I have a hard time spotting this shit exactly.
So if you see any more points please point em out.
Also, the holes in the lower part; too prominent?

Yay, you followed my advice!!  ;D

I can't really spot anything wrong with the tiling much...
And, what do you mean by "holes at the bottom"? If you mean teh white space, it will depend on whats behind it

I'll be taking that as a 'no' :)
