Quite a bit better. A couple of things:

Tile error on the right, you use the mountain base graphics in the middle of the mountain. There is a separate tile for this.

Here, look at this one. This is a map I made, almost exclusively with those mountains. Look for the tile I use in the middle.

With the left, this is still a layered mountain. You're just materializing a third layer out of nowhere. Try shifting the corner right 1 block, and doing on that side what you did on the right. The right side's "edge" perspective is correct, the one on the left really isn't. Ack, ninja'd. You fixed this one.

You've gotten much better at this set. Keep at it. Pure is my favorite set, I doubt you'll ever see me seriously use another one.

I've just noticed it now, I got it fixed now here is the finished screen.



I feel accomplished now! thanks everyone

Much better than before. Well done.

Everything besides the browns (which came from Evile's "bright new" palette) are made by me. EDIT: Oh BTW, Keiichi, I changed the orange to a dried green yellow so that the brown tall grass can be that colour.

And if it's alright with Keiichi anyone can use it, credit will be nice. (For me and Evile!)

I have always been attracted to screenshots that aren't afraid to use a lighter color of blue for water like that. It's incredibly vibrant, and it feels like you're not afraid to try anything to get what you need done. It's not the only part of the colors that I like, though. Everything is, as I stated, vibrant. Remarkable.

Not done yet, but I would love some critiques on the mountain shape, grass and dirt placement.

The dirt and grass transition is terrible!

The mountains are excellently placed and look flat out amazing. I think more detail in the grass is needed, but it's unfinished, so that can be added later.

All together, very goods

The signpost shouldn't be on the edge of dirt due to the grass and dirt transitions, but other then that the mountain design is effective.

EDIT: Thanks for the compliment ShadowTiger. But forgot to mention: that shot is an example shot you can see in DoR.

We need new dirt/grass transitions, in my opinion. Or is it just me?

[Shane]

I'm planning to, but I'm just suggesting you should move the signpost 1 space down and right.

Also a few flowers couldn't hurt, I personally believe there is enough grass detail.

Okay, and okay!
...How did I forget flowers?!

Screen 1: I think the snow transition looks fine to me. I wanna know what you guys think.
Screen 2: This Screen bothers me for some reason...
Screen 3: Custom large pit, does it look fine?

To say this bluntly, all three screens look horrible for one reason or another. Let me explain:
Screen 1 - The water has ZERO detail on it. Even LoZ had water detail. Try putting some form of ripples into it. Also, the ground has very little detail. You want the odd small tree/rock/whatever or two to serve as obstacles for Link to navigate around. On the subject of trees, the trees you are using look terrible in Classic because of they clash with everything else. Use the default trees and you won't have this problem. The ground detail needs to be more noticeable.
Screen 2 - Again with the bad trees and barely noticable ground detail. The browns on the mountains can do with less contrast with each over. Open corners are not inherrently bad, but you should fill in the SE corner.
Screen 3 - Again with the usage of bad trees and barely noticable ground detail. You also need one or two random obstacles on the screen to help create a route for Link to travel on the screen on. The pits aren't too bad, but the browns need less contrast with the blackness.

The water does have detail but when i took the pic all of the ripples were gone lol.
I agree with the trees. I will put more detail in all of my screens!!!! Thats the one of the many things i suck at on ZC lol


Did i make them any better? or worse? In my opinion, i liked them better the way they used to be. The tileset im using is the one from Zelda I, so it doesnt need alot of detail to make it look good.

I disagree with Orin, that's enough detail, especially for classic styled screens.
