The Resource WIP thread 2

[Bastrophian]

X3 !!!! Oh, im so excited!!! Here are some snowy, christmasy tiles in the Pop Horror style ive been working REALLY hard on to get just right!! Note that while im trying to emulate Vexeds Pop style, mine are alot brighter, thats what i was going for. . Please tell me what yall think so far! These are all original, save for the pop horror sprite i used to help get perspective, and Little Pop Nina there X3 , and the style itself of course.

Very modern

So, I decided I wanted to both learn how to do proper pixel art, and create a tileset / learn how tilesets work in RPG Maker while at it.

So far, I've created grass and dirt tiles. They're intentionally cartoony, and a little bit inspired by A Link To The Past (fantastic game!). I've also got grass detail tiles, the idea being I can scatter around some extra detail in the otherwise flat grass color fill for some interest and variation, I'm planning to do the same for dirt but haven't created those tiles yet

Spoiler

I decided I'd go with a limited color palette for the whole thing, I went with the DawnBringer 32 palette (I initially tried DB16, but I suck at pixel art and using limited palettes and it just looked awful... XD).

Hi there,

i actually don't have complete ressource yet - but i'm currently working on a character sprite on HiddenOne's Template and would like to have some feedback before i start working on the walking animation

Thanks alot

I've wanted to remake Painted Red and complete the actual story ever since I released it for the Mysterious August event.  If I was to do so, though, I'd probably start from the ground up and use MV instead of VX Ace.  That means scaling up all the graphics by 50%.

 

[KanaX]

I'll post the entirety of my interior tiles soon enough for a small evaluation, before I move on to the exteriors, but for now, I'd like your opinion on this piece.
I'm creating objects for 4 tile-high walls. I think they'll work well with MV tiles.

 

[cabfe]

@KanaX: This is looking good. One thing I'd personally change is the light blue part, too bright for my taste but that may only be me.

About your 4 tile-high walls, that's really high for a map. I'm not used to MV maps but since the default characters size is chibi, wouldn't that make it too big a difference in size?

 

[KanaX]

Honestly, could be doing myself a huge disfavour.

I am just used to using 1.5 tile-high chracter sprites and I felt like those dimensions could work in general, as they do with my own projects. Fortunately, there are not many tiles that are over 3 tiles high, but I have two sets of curtains and two bed canopies that are meant to be just a bit shorter than the walls. I'd hate to redraw them because they took a long time to do.
 

But if many people agree that it's too much, then I'll have to do it.

 

[Shadowban]

So i picked up Mv recently, and been working on the main hub town but I am having problems with filling out certain areas of the main town. 

Spoiler

For this one im not sure what to add bellow the church area (top right)

And for the bottom half of the map, same issue. 

 

[Omega Weapon]

It's been a long time since I've made anything, even tiles...

Gotta get back into the pixeling business

@KanaX:  A agree that the light blue is too bright.  By that, I personally mean that the color is too saturated.  It's going to upstage your sprites if it's too bright.  Since you're color blind you should give a little extra weight to other people's opinions on the color of your tiles.  I know you like them brighter but you're literally seeing them differently than most of us.

 

[KanaX]

Thankfully, that's why we should save everything in layers!
New:

Old:

I've literally just brought down the brightness and saturation in this one.

 

[Sharm]

Strange, it looks a lot more green now.  Still, the contrast is better, I think it's an improvement.

 

[cabfe]

@KanaX: the new version of the closed curtains seems to have lost details in the light blue area, it looks much more rigid, like a plastic or metal curtain.

The old version, with more color brightness variation, looked more transparent and fabric-like.

 

[KanaX]

Bringing down the green channel gives it a more intense, saturated color; something to be avoided, I presume? Brought down saturation once more after that.

Old:

New:

Newer: 

Newer-er: 

@ cabfe That's because the "shine" is saved on a  different layer and left untouched. I'm focusing on fixing the color and then I'll adjust the rest to the final result

 

[Sharm]

Huh.  I think the shine was the part that was standing out too much, the original base color wasn't actually all that saturated.  Leaving the shine alone is probably what made the entire thing look greener.  Of those four, I think the third is the best.

 

[KanaX]

Hm, I think I was going for some sort of "satin" shine originally, thus the spiked up brightness. Here's the original third one and the third one again with a bit more thinned out and dimmer shine.
Third one: 

Super-Mega-Ultra-Supreme-Ultimate (etc, etc):

 

[Sharm]

The final is the best.

 

[KanaX]

Well, as long as it's good enough. Thanks be to Sharm and cabfe!

KanaX stop that I will climb your curtains with triggered OCD!
