More Tiles from Me

Yes, they would be. The proportions I am going to go for are the same as the ones for RSE, but with a lot more detail. I haven't really started on them yet, though. I had play practice yesterday.

Hey, just a little update. I have not stopped spriting, but rather I have been playing games and figuting out a design for my game, Let It Rain, and I think I have an idea of the style I am going to go for.

Anyway, to back into the hang of spriting, I decided to do a devamp of some Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart tiles, so they would be able to fit in a hack. They most certainly are not the greatest, but the practice certainly helped (and it will show next week or so).

I also toyed around with an isometric style, but ultimatly gave up, due to my inexperience in the area. Here is the lineart, if someone wants to play around with them.

Ur tiles r so beautiful!
1 question:
How do u use someone's tiles(if ur allowed) if all they show is a picture of the tiles?

 

[Atomic Reactor]

those tiles look great, are you quitting your other style?

good attempt at the iso. it looks good.
did you have trouble with the roof? cause thats were i think it would be hardest.
good luck with the rest =)

 

[EnteiTheMant]

The tiles on the first page are amazing!! I love them. Good job; keep it goin!

 

[Alistair]

@AR: Yes, that does mean I am quitting my other style. I still found too much Pokémon-style in them. This new style is less Pokémon.

Anyway, thanks for the comments. I have been working on a website, which I was going to debut my new set on, but my webhost's server crashed (and I really don't want to upload 20MB of files over dial-up). So instead, I am just going to post them here. I know, I don't have very many at the moment, but this new style takes a lot of time.

ooo that tree is pretty ^_^ lol

is there a shadow under the tree?
i thin there should be..
looks great otherwise!

 

[Alistair]

Actually, there is. Instead of the dark ring like in Pokémon tiles, I made the grass a shade darker. Maybe I should have made it two shades...

Anyway, here is something I drew because I was really bored. And yes, it is supposed to be in black and white.

 

[Siimo]

Woah! Those are great! Keep up the great work!

 

[Atomic Reactor]

yeah i would make the shadow a tad bit darker ^_^
keep up the great work!
o, and nice beach scene btw. it looks... refreshing =)

 

[blaster911]

you are the best tile creator ever...
you should work for nintendo.

 

[Alistair]

Thanks for the comments.

Anyway, I sprited some more tiles, and I made a map to go along with then (granted, the map is puny). Hope you like them.

ooooo kewl. looks gritty. i'd reduce the amount of darkened spots or soften them... i dunno, it looks like an embroidery effect was placed on the whole thing. the grass is fine that way, but the ground/pathway parts could probably use some simplifying.

 

[danoftheworld]

WOW. These are awesome!!!! They really are great..
Keep it up!

Well, I got really bored at school today, so I drew this. Yes, it is a traffic cone. I was inspired by the one sitting in the parking lot.

Well, I just recovered this from my flash drive. I drew four potatoes, each are different. I also tried an all-black outlining style, which is becomming popular at Serebii (I still prefer colored outlines, though).

 

[Atomic Reactor]

omg those potatoes look delicious!
to bad they're not real =(

first one looks the best.
im not a big fan of black outlines either.

 

[Alistair]

Thanks for the comments. I wouldn't say they look delicious, though (personally, I think they look like something I am not going to mention).

Anyway, here is an update to my latest tileset. I added some rocks and some flowers (working on animations for the yellow ones). I also made a new map to with them. Hope you like them.

[Atomic Reactor]

looks good like always don! ^_^
just one thing...
the (2) rocks with stuff on top doesn't look that great. im not sure what it even is.. =/

 

[Alistair]

It is supposed to be moss. To tell you the truth, I don't like them much either, but that was the best way I could make them look. They are only there for variety, anyway.

EDIT: Updated the map, it had some errors in it.

 

[Kimichi-sama]

Wow! You're really good at what you do ^_^

 

[Alistair]

Thanks (I try). :)

Anyway, I sprited some more tiles, as well as a map to demonstrate them. Here they are.

Oh, by the way, I made an ImageShack account. Feel free to look at stuff in it, because I am not always going to post everything I make. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to PM me.
