Excuse the horrid mapping, I have only done cliffs and trees and grass so far, bu what do you think? I tried to make it look cel-shaded but it didn't quite turn out that way. I might use it with Cortez or other similar template.

Looks alright I suppose. Could work.

I think you should repost this as png or maybe gif instead of jpg because it's looking blurry.

Wow, that doesn't look cel-shaded at all. I love how everyone thinks "kiddy/cartoony/generally bad = cel-shaded." Look up some real cel-shaded art (Jet Set Radio, Wind Waker, etc.) and try again. Graphics can be cel-shaded many different ways. This is not one of them.

Do you like the second version more?

@All: Thanks, for the comments.

Here's the thing. It's VERY difficult to get a cel-shaded look in 2D. I don't think I've ever seen it done well in 2D, not even in Minish Cap, which borrowed Wind Waker's designs. It's just... not meant for 2D, in my opinion.

Hmmm, so maybe I should try for a different style then?

 

[Rubicant]

Well, you don't HAVE to have cel-shaded style, right? This style is perfectly fine on it's own if it's what you're aiming for.

 

[Shadax]

Maybe make the black lines a slight bit thinner, since the lines are now completely dominating the screen, or it might just be my taste.

RTP chara doesnt look good in your tileset...

I'll try that.

I'm planning on using a more cartoony style, either Gmanjudo's easy edit, Cortez, White Ties-style, or maybe VEX.

i think u jus need to edit ur latest version so when the cliffs are put together they fit neatly, cos in ur pic there are lines that dont connect, fix this and it wud look ok, and if u want to get a cel shaded style u cud get 3d cel shaded objects and make a tileset with 3d celshaded objects

Where can I get cel-shaded 3D objects? *sucks at modeling*

 

[Killer Rabbit]

erm, u cud try screenshots from cel shaded games.....lol, cel shaded objects are easy to model in 3d as they dont need to be detailed

 

[Shadax]

hmm..how about instead of black outlines, use a darker color of the color of the object as an outline. might give the game a frsher and brighter look.

I don't know, I'm quite happy the way it is, but I will experiment and see what it does.

I really really like it.
It looks like something straight out of a cartoon.
Nice job

Why, thanks. I updated the first post with version 4, which has shadows, a new tree, and a tuft of grass (woo!)

 

[darkiewonder]

Real nice. Only thing I don't like much is the dirt's shading.

and oh. Is there suppose to be like black lines going down those screenshots?

 

[Stupid Penguin]

I'm inlove.
I think it's awesome.
Keep up the good work!
