Here is a tileset that I made. I took the blending effect from FF2, because even though they had little colour to deal with, they still made textured graphics.

Do you think that I have a little potential? Do you think that I have improved over my old stuff? What do you think? I wanna hear from YOU!

Oh yeah, don't take these graphics for your own use or you will be faced in the wrath of God!

the big tree has fiarly good shading i thinkj, but its too pointy it could poke an eye out, and the tiles that have the trunk and and the top of another tree i think would make the trees look too spaced out when you make a forest, and the grass is mostly 1 colour, i dont know if thats how you want it but i dont like it that much, in a big grass area it would look really poor i think

Since when is it lighter under the tree? I like the idea of color changes around objects. It looks very cool; like a hilly effect, kindof.. But not under a tree. That should be a darker shade of green (for grass). Go over to each color and go two or maybe three shades down, then replace. It makes for a keen shading effect with color. Big grin

It is okay. If you make a good game out of it no-one will notice its minor flaws. Happy

They don't look too bad. But it's probally the blending I am seeing at the moment. It makes the stuff look better than it was I suppose. But, you need more variety. The solid green grass tiles make it look the grass is cut, and what kind of forest has cut grass? Maybe just take another shade of green like an airbrush over it. It makes the tile look more detailed and not look like freshly cut grass. And as Leroy pointed out, since when is it light under a tree??? You should definitely make the bottom of the tree darker, unless the lightness is part of your storyline or whatever. The castle wall graphics looked pretty nice though. Just work on some of those minor areas and they will look a lot better to you, and everyone else.

Yeah, you need more shadows. The whole thing looks a bit airbrushed, to tell the truth. But, honestly, this is the best I've seen you do. Congrats.

Its good but overall the but all the Light green stings my eyes. Give it some depth and use some darker green with texture.

Okay, let me check it out:
-Make underneath the trees darker.
-Add texture to the grass.
-Add texture to the water (which you don't see.)
-Make the trees more needly.

Okay, I got it.

I say 'okay' a lot, don't I? I also say 'yes' a lot. Oh well... All of these pointers are very helpful. Yes, I have improved from my crap art from a long time ago. Now, soon... I'll move to House tiles. Perhaps I am even crazy enough to show you my Character Graphics...

you should also design the trees so that the forest can be more dense. Your trees would make a really open forest. There's no reason they wouldn't be able to just walk right between those trees.
