YoBro, that's looking pretty good. One thing I may suggest, though, is to make the grass a little less..uh, cluttered. It's kind of really tall and noisy. Also some sort of dirt or something instead of blackness would be nice.

Non- its a google images ghuillie suit with some GIMP'd on office wear, because i'm broke and can't draw very well. I used a Posterize filter with really high contrast settings and stuff.
Miggles- that's part of the charm. I was going for a backlit-by-explosions kind of thing or something similar. My bad.

I was talking to YoBro.

Make some dirt, less noisy grass transition. Yeppers.

EDIT: Oh looky thar!
Comparison:

Thats looking really nice man! Digging the dirt/grass tiles.


Mockup of something I'm going to do once I finish this semesters Java class. Thoughts? ( id submit the full bg but its freaking huge)

Well, what's the context?

2D Sidescroller set in a wasteland setting. Tile based maps

Cool. Any fancy game mechanics or do you just jump on things?

There will be firearms and melee , but ammo will be limited. I'm not entirely sure on mechanics yet, as I dont know enough Java to start the darn thing

This is art right?
Course it is.



Legendary!

needs more AA, too.

No it's just badly upscaled.
Got enough AA already.

well, ok, let me rephrase that.

needs AA that doesn't make it look shitty.

Ever heard of "Noir"
The fact that you know its Barney from HIMYM is enough.
The rest entices your mind, think 'mystery'..

And, Uhh.

The only reason I knew that was Barney is because of the text next to it that says 'Barney'.
