aeko his looks like a dungeon where yours looks like a house

everyone keeps telling him color this color that, however his color palette fits his goal

Dungeons aren't supposed to look pretty anyway

I'm diggin' the swamp-dungeon motif. I'm going to have to say that I prefer the near-monochromatic works to the heavily colorized variant version in this instance.

Where would a potentially ancient swamp-dwelling civilization get this many color bricks and elaborate lighting? The low contrast version is excellent.

Ehm back to work on them. a few new things, and much better bricks, now it needs to tweeked just a bit more and then onto the npcs! :D

There are times you have to put logic aside when developing.

I meant in addition to the block down below you should have a block up above.

That's just your opinion, don't say that so condescendingly like we're all wrong for having our own opinions. Some of us happen to think that the low-contrast palette looks a lot better for what he's trying to achieve, and it's something we'd like to play and think it looks good and portrays the right feel.

In your opinion, adding a wider variety of colors would be better, in OUR opinion, we think this works just fine as it is.

Most pillars in the middle are bugging me (middle and side ones). Other than that it looks kinda cool.

ps: youre using way too many outlines

I came.......to the forums.....to tell you that your post was amazing.

This looks great.. I love the colors, and I will defiantly stop using so many outlines now. Thanks Elk! :)

if you use such consistant outlines, you have difficulties with recolors, for recoloring, say the outlines of the pillars, and darken the outline, you make them appear waaaay thinner for example and the pillowshading that is included sticks out way more which shouldnt be
