Raelyn has a pension for laying on his back and throwing a hissy fit if someone says something negative about him. However, I'm going to have to agree with him. Considering the perspective and such, it's not a big deal for him to copy and paste.

Although I find the white is cery contrasty with the grey for some reason.

Perhaps because he's used the same white all the way around? Instead of darkening the white relative to the change in the shade of the greys?

He's following a sort of isometric style which doesn't require he apply perspective in a spacially distortive way.

It's a 1/4th isometric style, if I am not mistaken. And the shading is meant to be kept simple, I am toying around with a design idea for simple shaded objects. For instance, and it makes me sick to reference it, but similar to Runescape's non-textured colored models. I am attempting to do with pixel art what they've done with un-textured models. It's less time consuming than full-scale detail, but gets the job done enough to get the point across and in a unique graphic style.

The purpose of this style is to save developement time by allowing me to make twice as much, twice as big, and in half the time, while still keeping basic form and shading so that it's not.. well.. crappy.

Here's another quick example of the type of shading I am employing here.

I don't know why you insist on using that awful layout which allows you to double post.

I don't know why you use that awful layout that allows you to break the thread trees sporadically and without reason.

It makes more sense to me to dedicate a single post, using seperated quotes, to respond to different points than a volley of seperate posts for each point you wish to address.

Did I mention those blocks were still uneven?Seen this type of type before though.

I'm with Zeph on this one, all you have to do is add a few details with texture and such, it doesn't even take very long, and it often gives a picture that's more intresting to look at.

Its a fairly decent piece considering that you have only 5 colors, but I have a few crits. You should really change the colors on it, they are too...saturated? Try making it a darker color on the bottom and top. Also the way you shaded this makes it look like more of a metal, you should really try to give it a more rough appearence. But I dunno, this could all just be what I think and everyone could disagree with im saying. But have a nice day and hope you fix your wall.
