Wonderland Tiles
 

damn, i haven't made graphics in a long while.

i was just wondering if i could get some comments on these basic tiles i made for a project i'm working on.

anything constructive will be completely appreciated ^^

Looks like a spray paint doodle to me >_<

D: I was gonna do some transparency effects on the water to sand transitions but I'd then get criticised for too many colours, etc.

I totally love the water tiles !
For the grass or the sand, it looks kinda odd but ok.

Ehh, that's water? :oo:

Not deep water, yes.
Looks quite plain, but I'm sure it'd look pretty if you add cliffs around.
Maybe it looks a bit too bright.

Yeah, it's meant to be somewhat transparent.

Made the water a bit darker:

The transition between the water and the mud looks bad. Other than that, it's good.

Yeah, I'll fix that up. Thanks :D

The grass clashes with the rest of the image...really stands out and almost looks like it's just floating on top of everything else. Lower the contrast a bit?

Dither as a water transition is nonsensical. The reason it doesn't look like water is because of the transition. Dither = rough, why would water touching sand be rough in any way? You can either make use of transparency effects of water over sand, or smooth and shiny transitions(think pics 1 beach tiles). Or both.

That grass looks radioactive

Yeah.

I like the grass. Really don't like the dithered transition from sand to water though.

I dislike the water tiles in both examples. The first one reminded me of off colored snow. The second one looks more waterish but more like stagnant water. In both examples the sand/water transition is... off, and to me it makes the water tiles appear higher, or at the same level as the rest of the tiles.
