Double Whammy

[Da Lulcat]

Quite a sexy job, either way.

Why thank you! And I see what you mean about the shading...I didn't want to add to much detail since it is a Pokemon game and the buildings generally have simple colors, but from now on I'll shade more. Other than that do you think there is a chance I could join the team as a Pixel Artist?

[Amphi]

here is an example of something i made if you save it then zoom in really close to anywhere that looks like a solid color(aside from windows) you'll see texture of sorts.

[Da Lulcat]

Oh! I understand what you mean now. You want me to basically make a gradient. When you said texture I wasn't entirely sure what you wanted me to add, but now I see. I also now know that you're going for a more realistic look than the original Pokemon games. I shall begin working on another building immediately. This time including: texture, originality, and realism. Any ideas what the theme should be? I was thinking maybe have a dark/evil theme using a lot of dark blues, purples and black as well as a lot of sharp edges.

Changed my mind. Instead of going with an evil building I decided to make a "Poke-apartment" of sorts. I noticed that the design team is considering adding the ability to own a house so I designed this apartment building which could be a low level form of housing. I did this from 12-3 in the morning so I didn't add the grime and dirt I was planning on adding, but I will do that tomorrow some time. Tell me what you think.

it looks pretty good, i would like to see it ine 48x48 tile form though, do you use photoshop? if so its easy to get that set up

[Da Lulcat]

I'm going to be out of town until Thursday night so I won't have access to my desktop which has Photoshop on it, but when I get back I shall resize it. I have been using a 100x100 setup just so I have an even number(and I wasn't entirely sure what size pokemon buildings were). When I resize it I will also attempt to make the inside, but as I've said before my plant and other nonsymmetrical shaped things making abilities are limited. Once I finish his project I'll send in the application, but I'm not sure how to format it. Could someone show me an example of how I should format it?

[Da Lulcat]

I have returned! I finished the 48x48 tile form you asked for as well as the inside lobby and a room.



Alright here's the lobby. The things on the wall are supposed to be mailboxes.



Here's a room it has a computer, bed and a chest to put things in.

This is still not the kind of graphics we use in game. Sorry, but I cannot accept you to the team with this. Thanks for trying though.

[Da Lulcat]

What kind of graphics are you looking for then? Could you explain to me what is wrong with this? I tried to avoid making something from a Pokemon game because I was told that you weren't looking for buildings from the game.

Well, if you could compare with the screenshots of the game, there is some degree of 3D while in yours, it seems to be plain 2D

that ^

You have absolutely no shading, and use single colours on wide pixel areas. Also several objects, like the couches, are too large in perception.

[Da Lulcat]

Alright thank you. That is all I wanted to know. I gave it my best shot, but I didn't make it not a big deal. I only applied so I would have something to do, but I'll still remain active on the forums and I'll definitely play the game.

[Amphi]

Don't worry, honestly, its not that hard to train someone in pokemon style pixel art, its just that the team doesn't have the time to.
