Arca Images
 

Figured I'd start my own graphic thread filled with Arca stuff and save the other thread for various updates on my progress.

Anyway, on with the images (and hopefully some critiques, I need them) first up a tower roof. Should I maybe rotate it to where just one of the sides is facing the player or do you like it as is? Either way the little window is going to stay.

I really like that kind of angle and especially those pixel art-based details like the bricks and the roofing tiles.

But i think the color blend might be too harsh, reminds me of those pixel art games in the 90s. I would also add some dark outline.

id never thought id say this in the graal gfx forum, but you might have a bit too much contrast on the roof. also a better definition of a light source would be good too. looks good!

Gotta love diagnol tiles ;)
Good work.

Remade the wall tiles because crono pointed out that the old ones looked like they were made for smaller characters and made me cry.

Turned out better ja? Except for perhaps the saturation of the color...what do y'all think?

Smirt, Do you plan on using this type of tileset on graal? *your server*? Also that house?

Yeah, also I'm scrapping that first image and redoing it. Too tiny. Why do you ask?

nice work! :)

Looks nice :o Add some color variation to the bricks tho :(

Like make some darker/lighter?

i was referring to the castle one XD

Although I like the idea of having the roof spire at an angle, I've never seen anyone build a window into a corner like that. It doesn't really meet up correctly doing it that way. Your pixeling is really nice though and it looks like I should go pick some flowers for my table :p

I'm redoing it

I'm REALLY slow aren't I?

Anyway, been a bit busy. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have some interesting stuff to look at

Also, what do you think of this lattice work? Should I work on it some more?

Something isn't gelling with me on that lattice work. I think it's that it doesn't have any apparent order; there isn't any pattern I can follow.

As far as the wall goes, I like how you've pulled some bricks out and pushed others in. I don't know if adding variation to the color is the right way to go, though... you've achieved a good level of variation without making it easy to pick out where the pattern repeats itself. Adding variation in color from brick to brick might make it more difficult to retain that. It would look amazing if you could pull it off, but it's much more likely that adding that would make the repetition stand out.
