Radien, not that your shot isn't the winner, but the chest really looks like it's stuck inside the bench. This
would have needed a flatter chest with a part of a bench under it. You get my vote though.

Well we know who's gonna win. :/

Radins screen fit togeter unlike Joe123

Joe123's screen trees look wrong they just don't fit right in my openien

[Zemious]

Radien, might as well close this now! XD

Instead of being rude, why don't we tell him how he could fix it?

Even if Radien is more skilled, their are only two shots so the choice was limited.
Lets not point out the obvious.

You never make much sense to me..

"Lets not point out the obvious?" Yet you said "Well we know who's gonna win" right after DFW said that. And she is right, Radien already won this SoTW. He has 30 votes, while the other doesn't even have half that many votes.

You know, I think this could be a lesson for all of you. Now, we all want SotW on time. But if this is going to be the situation for it being on time, this ain't gonna be too great. So don't complain if SotW is late, or this may happen again!

Joe123 FTL!!! Sorry dude, you have a very interesting setup of opaque and transparent leaves... but it just doesn't work in this situation. The limited number of tiles in the treetops make them look flat and boring. In a classic palette it would look fine, because I've seen many NES games with limited tile space use this technique, but since ZC has no such problem anymore I'd recommend you work some more on those trees.

I'm guessing most of that screen is custom drawn? Layout aside, some of those tiles are pretty good! Keep at it

*votes Radien*

... although Radien, I think that fireplace sticks out way too much, and that stone tablet looks much too bright in comparison to the wall. The rest of the screen's pretty top notch though, mix of ripped and custom tiles.

Umm... how do you know he didn't do that already? YOU CAN'T SEE THE BOTTOM OF THE CHEST BECAUSE SERINA'S IN THE WAY! It looks fine to me.

... sorry if that was a bit harsh, I just realised you're a newbie. Welcome to SOTW!

Indeed, Serenia is covering 60% of the chest and completely blocking the bottom of it. Since so many people want to talk about the chest, I made a GIF that shows it without Serenia in the way. The chest animates, by the way, so watch it for a moment. ~Link~

Yes, even so, the chest is jutting out over the edge of the bench a bit. However, I don't see how this is unusual compared to real life. *shrug*

Hmm, I'll think about the fireplace. I seem to remember moving it up 8 pixels and it looked too high. But if that's the case, I could try putting it somewhere in between.

Do you recognize that stone tablet?... It's yours. It's from the "crabby statue" loose tiles. I altered the Triforce symbol because I wanted something a bit more unique than the panels in LTTP. The symbol I put on it is the same as the one I drew for the wall engravings.

Your stone panel has always been that bright, but your comment is understandable; this dungeon is a lot darker than anything you drew for your own quests. I'll experiment with the tile and the palette and see how it turns out. However, it IS supposed to stand out pretty obviously. Hint panels aren't meant to be subtle, after all... not like treasure chests.

[Joe123]

Hmm no, not custom drawn at all. This is from a game called Final Fantasy Adventure for the gameboy. I have a black and white tileset up for it on the database; I'm making a colour version at the moment. I know it looks a little funny, but it looked a lot worse in the original game, and I'm making a tileset for FFA, not FFA changed to how I like it. Just thought I'd see how people like it; obviously they don't.

[The Satellite]

No, Joe123. I like it, it's just something's odd with the trees. They're a little... odd. What can I say?

Other than that, it's a nice shot. And yes, I do like the tiles.

[Zemious]

Eh, I do seem to contradict my self alot now don't I?

[Sharon Daniel]

I decided to vote for Joe123. I like the graphics and screen design.

Ha! I thought you were joking when you said the tablet was the best part

[Radien]

Yep, I was only half-joking.

It's not that the rest of the graphic wasn't awesome. It's just that I don't really need a crab.

[August Yifu]

I really like both of them, though, I'm going to have to vote for Radien's shot.
