The latest one is your best so far, no doubt.



Your older tiles in general had horribly saturated colors, that would make one think you used Ms Paint's default colors. That blue house tops the list, followed by the yellow roofed one and the green one.
Do a favor to our eyes and lower the saturation on the bright colors, please.


Then we have our black outline problems. Black outlines can be used correctly around dark colors, and shadowy places on buildings.. (Your most recent one the best example)
But then take a good hard look at that white building with the four spheres on top. The triangle on the roof with the pokeball, specifically. See how hideous it looks? White inside, with a black outline of sh it around it.. A slightly dark gray would look alot better on it.

Other houses have this problem as well, like the one with the long yellowy roof. Instead of black, a dark brown would look ten times better on it. Just remember that for light colors, a black outline is not the way to go.


You should also fix the jagged lines all over your tiles. I'd recommend to search for an 'anti-aliasing' spriting tutorial to help you out with it.




EDIT: F yeah, 15 POSTS!!!

I have trouble choosing the palletes to make the tiles look nice and i have problem with the shading part..xD
btw,what is your opinion on this tile...:
http://i40.*.com/zxs46p.jpg

Hmmm... you do have trouble with shading...but you'll get the hang of it. If you want me to i can edit this one and show you what i mean by light coming from the same direction in all your tiles...it appears in this one...the light is coming from the right and left. Where as most of the time it comes from the upper left hand corner. If you want i can show you what i mean. Anyway i wish you the best of luck.

Hey it looks better! But which way do you want the light to come from? Your tiles have light coming from every which-a-way. This one has light from the right so it seems. Just match up which direction the light comes from on all your tiles. It will look a lot better in my opinion.

I have some advice, some of your tiles are saved as JPEG and/or BMP, both are very bad to save your artwork as. I did notice some of them are PNG. PNG is what you want to go with all the time, it does not distort your artwork like JPEG will

Crimson Stardust July 25th, 2009 9:05 PM

C n C
Here is the tile i have make and are constantly improving them as my skills in spriting increased..xD..rate them kae??...
http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt253/ageangel_pc/Tileset.jpg
http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt253/ageangel_pc/Tornworldtiles.jpg
I make all the tiles from scratch

Edit:My newest tile
http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt253/ageangel_pc/capsolcorp.png



Sorry for double posting but i neeed to have my tile to be view by people and receive comment and critism..

Reck August 1st, 2009 8:06 AM

I'd suggest using something like this for a base...
http://i28.*.com/2mnp4r7.png
Notice each tile is 16x16...
Another thing...the doors on the building should be 16x16 and have an outline like this...
http://i32.*.com/23udllk.png
And should go directly on on one of the tiles in the base.
With that in mind try making a house with that info and I'll give you C+C on it...and so on... look at this as a spriting lesson i suppose... I wish you luck!

Ghost August 1st, 2009 9:40 AM

These are really good keep up the good, work and i think you could make some better :P also try making trainer sprites im positve that you can :D

Crimson Stardust August 2nd, 2009 12:17 AM

Here is the newest tile i make.I use the base which reck gave and his advice,so from this on,i will make the tiles following the way he tell me...xD

tell me what do you think:

Tileset
 
i don't know why no one has been posted at my threads..i cannot get to improved if my tiles has error if no one posted..
anyway here is another tileset...
http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt253/ageangel_pc/Tileset-1.png
Btw,this tiles are not for public
Give comments you guys

Reck August 8th, 2009 5:36 PM

Sorry it took me so long to comment, eh? Well your tiles are looking better... why did you go against what i said? I said the door tile must be put right on top of the 16x16 pixel tile... so now next thing the houses must be centered on the tile so it will work In-game. like so...
http://i27.*.com/30lgqrt.png
Try using this base to make a tile... then make a triangle roofed house house... with the same basic idea... then I'll be back, eh?

Crimson Stardust August 8th, 2009 9:27 PM

Did you mean this way reck??
another thing is why not many people giving me comments on my tiles??
http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt253/ageangel_pc/Tileset-1.png

Reck August 9th, 2009 11:48 AM

Better but, not quite. Your gonna have to rearrange a few things shown in the pic below...
http://i28.*.com/2dv0c51.png
notice i moved the door a bit so that the house is centered inside the squares.

Next on your triangle roofs extend them back a bit more say 5-7 pixels?
