Screenshot Thread

@yuyubabe:

It looks nice and I've always liked the idea of drawing backgrounds, but they're really a pain to use because of the layer management.

Thank you! :-) I'm glad it looks ok!

They're really a pain to use because of the layer management.

It really is. Right now I'm trying a lazy method. I was thinking that if I use some RPG maker-style graphics, it might keep some consistency. I've drawn in some dark lines to try and make them look more "cartoon-like", as well as making the colors stronger and the patterns a bit weaker.

Spoiler for:

This is the size at 100%, I'm still going for bigger graphics. :p

I don't know if its an improvement to my other attempt or not, but its easy and might just work with the art style. =o

That grafiks looks really cool. 
I like this cell shading look of your grafiks, great work.

And there is a simple small house from my current project called "Haus Des Helden" or "The Heros House". 

@Miriam
The screenshots look nice, but I can help but feel that the room is a bit cramped and small. Also, the cupboard looks out of place, why not put it against a wall?

@Yuyubabe
That looks really nice! I'm sure it'll blend with Celianna's tiles nicely

Thanks so far.
You mean I should put the whole thing one line up to the wall, right?
But thanks that helps me by improving my work.

Couple of screens of my current project. Working on a dark forest. Removed lighting to get a clearer look at how it looks, but this place is going to be darker ingame.

Spoiler for:

Did you make that stuff?

Mostly, yes.

I've just looked at the first and last pages of this thread, and then realised I've been drooling.
I'll never be able to map like that :_;

I'll post a screenie of my first map once its finished - I've got the basic layout down, but it's severely lacking in detail at the moment.

Be gentle with me when I do...

*EDIT*
First map more or less complete. It still needs work, but I kinda suck :P

I'm aware that it's pretty big and spread out, but there are reasons for that:
1. It's a hamlet. Is that the right word? It's not quite a village, just a very small group of people who happen to live near each other. The kind of small village you don't get these days D:
2. It will grow over the course of the game. Eventually it's going to be a densely populated city.

Beyond that, constructive criticism is welcome, of course ^^

To Be Continued

What's that supposed to be? All I can see is something with a slime-head, no arms and granny-bosoms.

Tinkering around with a secondary game (science-fantasy detective genre mixed with horror) when I am not working on the Door of Zosha. To make sure I had the necessary tilesets and sprites to do a futuristic game, I sketched up one room of the main character's apartment.

Dammit Exhydra  :'( That looks great!

Thankee, thankee. 


Meandering back to the Door of Zosha, I have been using First Person Labyrinth Explorer as a make-shift 3D editor to create a battle background for the dungeon area. Does anyone have some good (and free) texture sites I could visit? I am not particularly happy with the ceiling texture, but I cannot find anything much better. I also need to decorate the corridor, but I am fairly happy with the results thus far.

Just a simple deserted forest village with Mack's Tileset.

Spoiler for:

Whaddya think?

Needs a lot more trees, especially on the left side.

yeah, I need to add more greenery in general (bushes, plants) but yeah, especially since it is abandoned.
anyway, thanks!

The roof of the bottom house looks a little wonky to me. I think it's a limitation of the tileset, though.

Yeah, I was trying to make more not-square like houses, but I'll work on it.

Mack's stuff is pretty cool. (:

Lately, I've been experimenting with Celianna's tilesets, to see if they work better for me. =o (Minus the roofs, which were RTP edits).

I dig it 

I'm rather fond of Celianna's tiles myself. I think there were a few in some of the screenshots I posted a few pages back.

I like that image, though. Seems like a very quaint little settlement.

Anyway, I was kind of playing around with building a sort of introductory sequence, but I've yet to really settle on something I'd like. I don't think this particular map will make it into the final game, but I thought it looked cool for what it's worth. The location itself is called The Eye. Basically, it's a metaphysical realm wherein all magic convenes.

EDIT: Whoops, forgot the attachment.

There are small stars over the actual pillars, I would think they should be behind them?

Ah, the little sparkly things? They're not actually stars, rather they're a weather effect. In game, they kind of slowly float upward before disappearing. I thought it really added to the mystical feel of the area.
