Thanks partyprash

What exactly do you mean by shadow on the door and windows? Just make the whole areas darker, or make the shadow extend down from the top farther?

[partyprash]

 remember, outlines on pixel art should never ever be black/that dark unless the building or whatever is dark grey, but then u should just use a darker grey O_o lol

windows and doors need shadow on the top as well as the left side pane..

just select that area and use burn tool if using photoshop..

Ancitent Museum. Library?

Um... I can't distinguish the front and back grounds. The colours below the roof, IMO are too close. Add more grey in that yellow/light brown for the wall, while making the columns brighter, then add shadows that the columns cast on the steps and wall

Ok, thanks Jerry

Ok, second draft and this time I'd really appreciate more of a response (criticism both welcomed and encouraged) to it so i can make more improvements.

3rd version!!



I took your suggestions and bordered the windows, rounded the corners, added some shadows, and shaded the roof a little darker. Also made the roof look run-down, with broken and missing tiles (not sure if I like this a lot, but what do you think?)

I wasn't sure if I should continue posting here, or make a new thread under ideas/suggestions to submit it for consideration to be in the game. I'm sure this building still needs a good bit of work first before that, anyways.

Awesome work. You should make a submission thread. :p

Thanks. I'll make a thread there and post it after I edit it a bit more. Gonna start working on a couple more buildings next, then maybe some inside tiles.

Hmm, you're lacking details. That's all. There is no "3D" feeling, nor do the colours work. They are too weak. But a good try.

[dak456]

You wouldn't happen to know any handy tutorials to get that 3-d feel would you? also can you elaborate on the color situation? I'm not sure whether your saying their isnt enough contrast, shading, etc. etc. or you just don't like the colors (based on actual buildings in my native Massachusetts by the way)

3D is allready said.
The windows are nice and the plant-stuff is fun.
But you could make a bit more out of the roof and the door.

[partyprash]
