Since I am a programmer, I am not that great pixel artist, but I would be glad to learn this art.
Anyway, here is my try to edit the stone wall at the bottom of the house, so it looks more realistic.

It would be great to hear a feedback and suggestions from pixel artists. Hopefully some of them can help me to finish this house step by step.

Yours, Phaeton

When you want to learn how to do pixel art I can recommend the tutorials at the bottom of our guideline page on the wiki:
http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Guidelines

Thank you, I will read the tutorial and it will be a great help.
But it would be even better to help me step by step trough this task...
Anyway, good or bad start with my improved stone wall?

About your stone wall:
- you didn't use the tile ability of theses outline, you only need to shade a 32x32 pix square and copy/paste him.
-texture: look like random pixel put here and there (hum...maybe I'm wrong). Try to put the lighter grey pixels first, and add other shades around them.
-still looking a little bit flat. Don't know why: texture? color palette?

A veteran may have better and more precise advices

keep going

Second attempt.
- Added cracks to the stone wall
- Also added some brighter represents to the wall
- Tryed to give the wood a texture
- And darken the wood

What do you think, please comment this:

Thanks for the feeback. It was really helpful.
I followed your points and you can see my current progress above. Any other serious mistakes?

Regarding CR1:
Is there somewhere a list or such with scripts, graphics, sounds an their progress?
I would be glad to help with programming.

Yours, Phaeton

Client and server technologies are done over at http://manasource.org/ . No scripting tasks have been opened yet.

That's what I have in mind, a church-like building. Perhaps for mages to recover their MP or raise their magic power temporarly.

I'm not convinced by how every aspect of design in this conforms to a strict geometrical shape.

With texture from the barn:

tilabe.

Fix and roof will probably come before 2011.

[Bertram]

Hi Ivan,

Fix and roof will probably come before 2011.

Good to hear.

Anyway. That's an actual improvement.

My best regards.

[IvanMorve]

Bertram, thanks for your faithful support and your interest, that help to keep motivation.

only 261 days before 2011, I have to hurry:
tilable house first draft:

still need a lot of work.

[IvanMorve]
