I wouldn't make these walls that tall. Interesting concept, though.

I think it looks pretty good Hubydweyer. But I do have to agree with Yoshimi, that the walls seem to be a bit tall. Perhaps chop them down by one tile, to reduce the extreme height that it seems to be showing. icon_smile.gif

I like the walls now, and the pallet is fine, but there should be much more trees especialy on the last screen.

I dont post any screens in a while, so here's one of Lost Woods;

Interesting. I'm not sure what you're trying to do with the trees. It looks as if they're supposed to be in grass so tall that you can't see the trunk (and in the case of the water, water so deep that you can't see the trunk).
If it's not supposed to be tall grass like I said, I would use the tiles with tree trunks instead.

And are those two pale yellow things ghosts or skeletons? The tile design looks nice for Classic, but I don't know why you would put one in the top-right corner like that, even if Link was supposed to walk up to "talk" to it.
There is a certain stigma in screen designing about having "open corners", but that would only be an issue if the tile is supposed to be a walkable pile of bones on the ground.

I like your mushroom tiles, by the way. icon_smile.gif

Edit: One problem I just noticed: Halfway down the right side of the screen you used the wrong tile for the top right of the tree. Looks like your mouse moved slightly too far to the right when you were laying down the tile for the top left of the tree.

This is a superior classic designed shot. The trees are quite fine, as I see them from the perspective of being tall tree/bush.

Gonken: Amazing screen!! icon_glare.gif ..but you know that...

Lightwulf, that's not a skeleton, that's some sort of slightly taller plant o.o
Also, you can't walk on the tree, I mean, It's "sort of" a canopy. I think it looks cool like that.
Thank you both, anyways icon_smile.gif

In Dance of Remembrance, Radien has some wonderful frozen-over edits on the tMC houses. You should totally look into those. Other than that: I love it! =)

The winter shot looks awesome Gonken. Put some snow of the roof and you're done. icon_smile.gif

Jay your screen looks really nice too, though the 2 water tiles just above the bridge don't fit, especially the little corner of land.
