According to my gay american friend, I am a 6.5.

Americans are known for having low standards.

Exile/Metroid inspired mockup using a palette by Mr. Niklas.

I live in America, and I can see Canada from across a river from my house. Pretty neat, really. The problem: our state is getting payed by Canada to take their garbage and dispose of it. I hate our governor!

Speaking of Canada, here's a piece I just wrote that pretty much sums up the weather outside this week:

You know those piles of snow you get beside your drive way, well they have been taller then me for pretty much most of winter. It's a chore throwing snow over that.

As I recall, you only live an hour or two away from me, so I know exactly what you mean.

Fairly meh, but just for practice. Quite happy with the stone squares, less so with the grass tile. Will have to be revisited.

Yeah the stone is pretty nice but the grass just looks far too bright

Acid isn't actually bright green and glowing in real life but if it was then your grass would look like it

I've gotten pretty mixed messages about it But the main crit is that the colours are a little oversaturated and the grass is too bright, whereas the praise has been towards the detail, so I'll tweak the colours and keep the detail intact, and see where we go from there.

Addendum:


A bit of an edit, which has already turned up in all the posts around the net thanks to deviantart.

Another one of these, now with better grass and a HUD.

Well, I did a small sheet as a practice for something on Pixelation.

The colours are off (too dark on my monitor, probably too saturated on others), but I've got to get faster at that as well so it's relevant. Probably getting closer to three with upload times and a cup of tea. Time for bed, this was a relaxing end to the week.

That's looking nice, lizard. Try some faint background tiles for inside the cave? Could be too noisy but could also give it some depth, it's very readable but kind of stark at the moment.

Yeah I had that in another mockup, no idea why I didn't add it.

Looks a lot better, though the BG should probably be a darker color...

edit:

Okay pretty happy with it now.

Colours might not be perfect yet Geti but the grass is much better than it was

Want to get better at pixelling, and have a good measure of how fast you can complete some tile work given vague guidelines?
Click that.Good to hear. They were from scratch but partially based on the other set.
