Levels Artist willing to help on worthwhile projects.
 

Hey, my name is Silent, I've been around on graal for a while, a bit over 5 years. I've worked on many servers ranging from: Graal X (for those of you who remember, it was the promising new modern server which most current servers are leeching off of) to Ol' West to Zodiac.
I consider myself experienced and talented and I am willing to help on any worthwhile projects. I work with both modern and classic tilesets, equally experienced in both. If you're in need of a decent Level's Artist simply reply to this post with your project and the current status/state of it.

Looking forward to any responses :]

Is this like level consulting or something?

Maybe you'd do better if you posted some.... you know, levels?

I help with whatever anyone needs. I can help with level consulting, tips, help with actual servers, etc. Didn't really think you'd need examples of my work but it isnt a problem. Here are a couple of levels I've made, one for Graal X (was featured on the server) and for Zodiac back when I was applying for a Level's Position (was accepted).

**Also have various references.

Interested on working on N-Pulse Rebirth?
Send me a Forum PM.

Not to derail, but are you even capable of tiling trees together? (Just curious b/c 'Zodiac' screen shot).

Yes. Took less time to just add the image npc, and that was merely a tryout level. Makes more sense to pay attention the overall quality and detail of the level then to spend time tiling the trees.

when plastering tree images within a level it detracts from said quality and detail.

Doesn't really make sense considering it looks exactly the same, leaving me with extra time to work on more important areas of detail such as the grass detailing, path detailing, etc.

Plus the goal of any LAT is to produce decent, quality work at a efficient pace. There is NOTHING wrong with that level, you're just picking at things to argue about. The level looks great, detailed, and I can tell you from experience, being LAT Admin for a few hosted servers that I'd rather be efficient and produce quality work rather than waste time on finding myself unneeded and irrelevant work to slow me down.

From a LAT that pays extreme attention to detail, I can safely say that the level is far from great. It actually lacks detail. I don't care to break down everything that is wrong with it (though I could if you wish), I was supporting the fact that tossing trees in like that does not look good. It is a lazy attempt at tiling, it detracts from level quality.

I don't really want to argue with you though, if using images is your preference who am I to challenge you on it.

your levels look terrible

I'd have to agree here.

the first level is practically an exact copy of the neotech building on Era that Dargaro made.

the second level is pretty decent, but then again I don't really know anything about leveling with classic tilesets, so I can see why everyone else thinks otherwise.

You're grass layering makes no sense in several places, along with tile errors. Your cliff tiling looks rushed and unpretty. Random hedge things placed around, no real point for them. Otherwise random space filler tiling to take up space. Doesn't really appear that the extra time is doing it's job, I could nit pick every single little detail. As you can see from other posts, it is pretty important to tile your trees.

Other than showing us mediocre levels and having experience at mediocre playerworlds, why should I be interested?

I think he's quite good, he has potential. If you're desperately in need of a LAT he could easily be morphed to making whatever kind of style you want to. Personally the only things I dislike in the levels are the grass detail and you using trees images. Aswell as some tile errors.

If you are not "good enough" for these demanding guys, why not try to apply for Classic tab servers? If you were to practice leveling a few weeks, im confident that you are a very good candidate to work for an classic tab server.

He sucks. Thats the word from oldschool lat-pro.

decent for a crapfest

wow dogpiled

His levels are very reminiscent of your own, especially the stuff you made on Classic, so this comment is just hilarious.

Era level aside, I doubt many players would object to a new world in the style of the pics1 level shown. It reminds me a bit of Babylon levels, but it'd do the job fine.

Agreed.

The first level, I not really going to judge. Little to no talent goes into making a decent looking modern tiled level. The tileset itself is what makes level using a modern tileset look good. Even poor levels done with a decent tileset can look satisfactory.

The second level is half decent. There is some potential in there but like everyone has stated before you need to play more attention to detail and making more effort to use proper tree tiling.

Wow guys, enough. I think he got the point.

k one last thing i fcking hate the building with zodiac tileset. it makes me mad when people do this. Quick question why u lats makes a building look like crap. i use to but i dont anymore i hate it with passion

Great thread necro.

Glass houses and stones, he shouldn't throw them, etc.

Whoa, who's throwing glass houses?!

I think I take enormous offense to that

Funny to see how some of you are sitting here ranking on the kids levels while he's trying to offer a service to people, yet the good portion of you who are talking crap aren't even that good at levels yourselves. :noob:

Sometimes, you don't have to be good at something to tell that it looks like crap.

Honestly, I disagree. His levels may not be the best, but they do not look like crap. An example of a level that does look like crap:

Sorry, gotta one-up you here.

Yes... I spent way more time on this than I should have(anything >1 minute when drawing poop qualifies as "way more time," so don't judge me).

Haha! Brilliant.

Touché :p Thanks for the nice poop levels, though. Cool to look at.

Wow lol, what a piece of ****.

That's like saying I don't need to be good at coding to tell you that your coding skills are crap.. good one. :asleep:

Well if somebody scripts something and its so full of glitches and bugs that half of it doesn't work and the scripter honestly thinks he did a good job, then you can be pretty sure, whether you can script or not, that he should be banned from ever touching any kind of code.

Seriously...ownage. :eek:
