My tiles

Im gunna start working on my tiles again, and all I would appreciate is some constructive criticism. So is this ok?

That one orange is too bright

You should try darkening the grass and the brown by adding a little gray to them and see where it goes from there. The grass is a bit plain, as it needs some texture, but it’s a good start. The houses don’t really have shading, but the idea is there. Not trying to be a dick, just trying to help.

thank you, all good comments. Ill try get onto that shit :slight_smile:
Ill just cheat and have a dark green colour and add noise hahah, yay for filters :smiley:

Here is my attempt at the grass. I may have added a bit too many light spots on the right, but meh, it’s just meant to get the idea across to you.

Looks completely different, but thats whats good about it.
You can tell its all by hand and such. You might want to look
into shading (not shadows from objects) to give it a little bit
more realism. It seems to lack depth. (actually the object
shadows might help too eventually.)

Assume the light source is coming from the top left of the screen?

That seems to be the most common (I shade from light on left to dark on right)

You rarely need to use a saturation value over 50%, yet alone nearing the 100% range.

Saturation is way too high. AKA, the colors are too… intense. Using lower saturation will make your tiles easier on the eyes.

ROFL Looks like shit, you aussie brat!

He means basically your colors are too pure

Ok thank you all for advice excluding spooon. Spooon you just get a death stare…

How is this treetop? Its my first time attempting any kind of tree, its suppose to be a straight down look at a tree so you only see the top of it. Im not sure how make it look as though its in a rounded inverted bowl shape though :frowning: any tips?

Behold, planet Earth!

Anyone else want to make a helpful comment towards this so I could improve the design?

added a shadow and cleaned up some shading

I can see what you are trying to do…but it just doesn’t look…right…?

Better than anything I can do xP But still, not sure what to say. I can tell what you are trying to do, though. So, erm, nice job so far?

Graal’s perspective is a bitch.
