The brownish color looks just a touch out of place in the new night time palette. I mean, it makes the house and the dirt look excellent. Not so much the hedges and trees though. If they could somehow be combined.

Too generic?

Updates. This is an aesthetic test shot, I am not building the actual first dungeon yet-

 

Oh, did I happen to mention the tree dungeon has been scrapped? I have reasons, but I'm too lazy to explain these reasons, but hopefully you will enjoy the replacement dungeon, but it will be awhile until I develop the actual thing. :)

Small update. Hopefully this makes the village have a bit more "under construction" kind of feel :) . Another small tip, this is a village you'll keep visiting after you beat each one of the three first dungeons and a final visit will be made after a certain challenge is made...

well, i couldn't figure out a nice way to recolour the "hedges".  so i drew my own.  i was picturing them as moss covered walls.

 

here's the latest version:

and here's the tiles.

@shane, i really like that new doorway with the owls.  i also liked those flowers/plants in the water in the first version, and kinda sad to see them go...

Love the new changes except for the doorways, I actually preferred the circular ones. The owl sections are cool though, they'd look really good in a wooden/tree dungeon actually!

Really nice vibe and feel of the screen going on here. Great work on the hedges, fits in 100% with the Firebird set, should post them in the thread and get them put in the set!

@Demonlink Nice stuff going on there. I can also see that "under construction" look that you mentioned, so great job on that!
 

@justin Loving the new changes and those hedges look much better!

Due to a bit of tight restrictions and "cramped" screen designing, I redid the Entry for the Forgotten Ruins Dungeon. I think this looks better than my previous attempt. (BTW, Forgotten Ruins and Novus Village Cutscene are finished!) :)

Yes! That looks a lot better. 

 

My only suggestion is to remove the pillars in the first shot. They don't look bad, but they kinda do feel a bit out of place. Otherwise again, these are your best screens yet IMO. :D

Truly amazing work Demonlink, I love what you got going and those screens have a perfect atmosphere. Looking at them really wants me to go in and adventure through them! Great job.

I haven't touched Pure Remembrance in so long.

It's supposed to be a farm/ranch type of thing, minus the animals. :P

Removed* Thanks for the suggestion Shane! :D

Oh, and the dungeon itself will be better! :O Thank you so much!

Looks nice Jared! The only suggestion I'd add is to play with the palette, as I think that's one of the default ones... right? Other than that, looks perfect! :D

 

I myself have another goodie:

 

zelda002_zps65de7de9.png

I'm not quite sure what to make this region like. It's located north of the Sacred Woods, but south to another region where a lot of Water is planned to be added, like Jared's Hylian Falls from RotP. Hmmm, ideas/opinions/critics?

Looks good Jared! Looks like it could be a path leading to the ranch. I agree about the palette though, it could use more personality, but it's fine regardless.

zelda002_zps65de7de9.png

It looks great! Maybe this area could be like a bunch of springs? If the northern area features waterfalls (moving, active water), the lower area should feature water itself (still, calm)... Just a thought!
