It's awful but maybe it's a start...



Freely inspired from

looks nice

but dun we plan to have such things kinda animated in future ?

Yeah, probably when we will have 1000 pixel artists

The "foot" of it could require some revision at some point, not that urgent, but it still seems to be just a tad bit off, doesn't it? (Then again perhaps it's just a subtle matter of preferrence.)

make it taller 3 tiles long

I think is looks great, especially the flags and sticks. The only comment I'd have is to make the foot a little more standing out, less blurry and more defined. Like the flags and sticks are already. Oh and maybe a bit of shadow, the sketch has shadow too.

I know you're right Bjorn, it's like having two different styles, I'll work on it a bit more.

Now the foot should be more standing out:



Here I tryed to make some sort of shade well with no so good results

well the shading is not that bad as you say

Shading's not bad...but what's with the pink? I thought we were using png's.

I would also like to see a taller (2 or 3 tile) version, like was suggested.

Yes we're using pngs, the pink is the transparent color, and it's already 2 tiles in height.
I'll try a taller version anyway.

Using the png alpha channel for tiles is too cpu intensive at least with our current client.

I think the shadow is on the wrong side, as I thought the sun was in the lower left. Other than that the shadow could be more blurry, compare for example the shadow of the palm tree in desert2.png tileset.

But we will use png alpha channel someday, right?

Yeah probably in 2009 when everyone will have 128 bit processors
