I like the wooden ground style, please improve it and make walls that correspond to it and to the exterior town tileset. Great job

Are these floor or wall tiles? The grey, metallic one at the top is used as a wall in the last picture, which is good because its harsh (ish) contrast isn't the best for a floor, against which objects should stand out more. It's a little sketchy, but not particularly bad.

The wooden planks look at first like they only use two shades, but on closer inspection there are five. I think they would benefit from using one or two less shades - one of medium darkness, slightly less than halfway between the dark and the light, would take away the rough look that it has somewhat (rough as in roughly drawn, not roughly made). Maybe something like this - I merged two dark colours into one lighter one:


I'm also not sure where the lightsource is supposed to be coming from here - it almost looks as though it's straight up from the top of the picture, meaning that if it's a floor the sun is setting and if it's a wall it's directly overhead. The lightsource is in the South-West, so each plank will be lit much the same across its surface.

The mix of wood and metal in a diagonal pattern is interesting, but the way they are arranged in vertical stripes doesn't look so good. The lightsource is also very unclear in these.



The contrast in these tiles is possibly too high for floor tiles as well. They look okay, though (if a bit repetitive; possibly a few variations would break this up). The use of the pale blue, though - I'm not sure what it's supposed to be, but it's very flat because you've only used one shade.

The black mess looks interesting, but what is it?



The top of the wall is also very sketchy, as though it was drawn hurriedly. The straight sides of it aren't straight, either. Note also that the outsides of buildings only need a front (unless they have objects protruding from them).

the colors on the wooden planks are the same than the outside tileset, that why some colors looks strange on a wooden tile.

You shouldn't use the same color palette for indoor and outdoor.

When I made the woodland village tilesets I intentionally decided to use darker and duller colors for the indoor tiles than the outdoor tiles, because I wanted to give the impression of having bright sunshine outdoors and less light indoors.

But in case of Thermin, you might go the other way: a cold and harsh outdoor and a warm and comfortable indoor.

Zitornic Ore, to be used in the Bromenal metal alloy (other metal: Crozenite) for making Bromenal equipment (formerly Brass Equipment).

I dunno...this thing is a piece of junk.

I made some attempts at improving these, but I'm not sure how much better they actually are (if at all).

=>taken from this tileset...
.

Those weren't "taken" from that tileset. I used those as an example of how to draw what I wanted. I might have followed the example a little to closely and pixeled mine the same way. I did NOT copy and paste any of that to the ones I made. I know arguing the fact is pointless, but I thought I might just clear that up for the record. I haven't stopped by here in awhile and will not be continuing anything tmw related. In game I was told that nothing I've done or worked on will be submitted.

I'd rather you move away from RPGMaker as in influence. I didn't issue any such command about rejecting all your work, but you have repeated this problem and it is difficult to trust your art. You can still submit art, but it would be scrutinized a great deal due to these repeated errors. I won't stop you from overcoming this problem, if that was what you wanted. I highly recommend you throw all your RPGMaker content (including TAW content) in the dumpster, if so.

a easy way around this is to show your work as you build it...this can also stop problems before they are big problems.....this may mean more posting along the way..

oh and btw i like your art x420 and think you could add to this game a lot..but SHOW YOUR WORK...
((words i never wanted to say ...thank not i feel like a 3d graid teacher ))

----skipy

I did 2 others tiles for the wooden planks floor.



with the Enchilado's colors


EDIT:
and tried to do an wall

lien, that is getting good.

The thing is that I need a full interior set for Thermin. That means that the walls need to match the outside, that the floor is a bit different from the walls, i'd like wooden planks for the floor. I also need some fringe item that of course you could take from other tilesets of TMW. If we want to move forward, we should maybe focus on the whole tileset instead of proposing some floors.

Best regards,

Also, for the Termin Area that is in a winter area
should you add winter fluffy as monster.

do you know why winter fluffy are almost in blue ? Neither do I.
