[PPP] The Führer's Workshop Thread

[Perihelion]

Welcome to The Führer's Workshop Thread, where I engineer my weapons of war with which to destroy the LEGION! Things are a bit rough right now, but here are a few things I'm working on.


Scientist chick.


I dunno what this is about, and I'm not actually that fond of it. I may or may not finish it.


The node from my game. This took me a ridiculously long time to do. :x I'm not sure how I feel about it, but it works, I guess.


Some tiles I'm sketching in. Nothing concrete yet, as you can see!

 

[Perihelion]

I finished a sprite!!!


The side views of the hair and most of the animations of the coat bother me. Any suggestions? I'm rusty. D:

 

[fucbillgates]

That's great!!!
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............

I have no idea what you should change.

 

[lomastul]

i think that you should make the back hand [in the walking foward animation] a little less blackish and add it more shades so ill look better when animated :S [do this also in the walking back animation]


about the tile sketches: looks really owesome and nice textures ill be waiting to see those with colour :D.

 

[Perihelion]

Something is wrong with this, but I don't know what it is, and it's pissing me off. :| Help? (Not quite done refining it, btw, but I don't think that's the problem.) I think it's the shading in parts of it, but I don't know what to do to fix it. :x Whine, the last cliffs I pixeled looked fine, so why are these giving me problems?!

 

[TheInquisitor]

They look absolutely fine to me. If you say you're going to refine them, then I just plain can't see a problem. I think this is simply a case of you being your own worst critique. They look very cliffy to me. However, if you want to add to it, you can either mess around with the palette and get more colour into there or add some moss to it to give it an extra level of detail.

 

[BlueScope]

If there's anything wrong with it - aka if you look at it until you find something is wrong - then it's that the left side looks less tall then the right, as well as slightly more round-ish. Ah well, looks fine to me as well... I'm looking forward to a complete tileset there

 

[Perihelion]

Inq, thanks. But yeah, I'm not sure if the refining I'm going to do is going to be enough to make me not be irritated with it or something, idk. And Blue, I know about those things, but they're not what's bothering me. Blargh. I dunno, I think I'm just gonna finish the shading and maybe mess with the palette and call it done, because I'm sick of it now.

 

[Perihelion]

The beginnings of a desert tileset. Still a WIP, of course; the sand in particular isn't quite tiling right atm.

 

[Berserker]

they look great peri. I wish I could help with the tiling, but I have same problem. Trial and error eventually does it for me.

 

[Perihelion]

I have a (somewhat crude) way to get tiling to work, but I just haven't gotten around to refining it yet. Thanks, though. :3

 

[TheInquisitor]

That's by far the best stuff I've seen you do and the sand and rocks are fantastic. As far as I can tell, that is proffesional quality. The only part I find arugably questionable is the two plants.

 

[Perihelion]

Thanks. :3 I spent such a godawful long time on the sand, and I just could not get it to look right at anything smaller than 32x32. Which is unfortunate because now I can't make autotiles, but oh well!

When you say plants, do you mean the cacti or the grasses, and any idea what's wrong?

Oh, I just noticed my shadows are inconsistent. Hmm, gotta fix that later.

 

[TheInquisitor]

I mean the grass shrubs. I think the problem is the perspective, it's a bit too flat for my liking and it should be more rounded in shape to it fits the view of the rest of the scene. I see it more as a plant than grass.

 

[green raven]

great stuff ppp leader.
I dig the "hot" vibe, the red hue was a great choice. I especially like the sand tiles.

 

[Aran]

good goddamn. these are all wonderful. you should consider making a tutorial because I definitely want to make tilesets of your quality. good stuff! oh, and I don't see any inconsistencies in the shadows. i'll look again.
