[FND] Dock

[Reid]

When I think of dark red brown I think of this kind of wood:

Same.

Its a completly different kind of wood than used on the dock. I understand the green part, and love how its applied to the stone wall. Maybe it can also be applied just like that on the dark red wood?

Yes, I just made it green in a way of lazyness, it corrected both problem imo.
I will continue to advance a bit this tileset and then I will work on the recolor of the pillars.

[Reid]

Dark-red wood and green thing on the bottom, is it better?

[EJlol]

Yes

[Reid]

Yes

What about now?

[EJlol]

Nice.
Though the vertical ropes are almost not visible alt25 .

I tried to add the curve effect, but it's kind of impossible to make it more visible. >.>

Its cause the rope are at the border of the planks. Add something in the middle (and do mind the perspective), and the rope will be more visible, and the curve may get some extra definition too I think. Other solutions would be to use chains. Cause they are gray they will stand out more.

However I do think the vertical part will stay 'weak', which means the mapper will be required to pay attention he doesn't make the vertical parts too long, and breaks it up with horizontal parts.

The dark red wood can be even darker / more red than now. This is just a very quick hue/saturation change just to give an idea on how it might look. I think if done right it will make the piece more interesting to look at.

Are you sure about the rope palette's change, it's too flashy imo, it needs to fit with the rest of the tileset that we will use, and we didn't put much contrast difference on ours right now.
I will let other decide about it, your perspective is better but I think that after it's just a matter of taste.

I agree with Reidy here, the constrast between the vertical wooden parts and the ropes is too high.

I consider it as done, I've used most suggestion (darker but not too much, rope lighter but not too much, transition from the dock and the brickwall, etc...)

Now I will cut these tiles into a proper tileset, my .XCF will be helpful.

Tiled is a wonderful tileset editor, I think that I'm done.

I've added an extra tile, for those who wonder what is it for, check the perspective... a stair is not doable, but a transition is needed. So this one is good enough. alt25

I love this, can't wait to walk on that dock

[EJlol]

It looks perfect now ^-^

[Reid]

Just a rapid thing, I've added some fringe tiles and also some ground variation, wood can't be infinite...

right now (on the testmap), you mapped the dock directly on the water. This would mean that by every wave the dock would get flooded. After you have drawed the pillars will you raise the dock? (so basically will you draw the pillars under water, or in the water?)
