Mc paths didn't work in the slightes for many reasons, but I tried the WW zero ones edited to fit my set, thoughts?

Looks good, but the mushrooms should be red. icon_razz.gif

That looks much better than the first one, but I think I know what the problem is. It's the colors of the path. It looks so yellow, that it really overpowers the grass and stands out too much. If you can brown it up a bit more (reduce the R and G values), that might greatly help it.

I'll be sure to work on that ! Fully aware I have not yet edited the path color or contrast, I did do some palette editing so the WW zero mountains could have their proper color, having the ones I did to begin with right up above, how do they look compared to these with the proper color ?

I personally liked the old colors on the cliffs better, but that works too. This one is just a preference.

I kept the old colors you'll be pleased to know ! Turns out I agree.

Finally inserted all the MC dungeonsets into the tileset, working on adding more dungeon misc. that fits. Here's a shot form the earth temple.

Nice! Where's the deku tree come from? I think his moustache should be thicker and the upper trunk should be more in shadow (looks a bit flat), and his leaves are a bit lazy. icon_razz.gif Definitely fits the aesthetic though... except the way you've dithered the grass. That doesn't quite fit.

I will fix the grass and see what I can do but I did not create that tree so I'm afraid to mess with it too much and make it worse ! icon_confused.gif

Nice! icon_smile.gif It actually looks like a forest! I especially like the shading and the stream. The shot kind of reminds me of the Wizard of Oz (probably because of the road). I like how colorful it is. The road and the mushrooms make it really stand out. I like your shots! icon_biggrin.gif

That's why you make a copy and work on that. icon_razz.gif

Truth be told, I'm not the best at creating or editing already created tiles, especially ones so large ! Add to that me being color blind, unless I have someone to help me, usually my brother, 8/10 times things don't turn out right. icon_razz.gif I personally am happy with how he is ! You only need to see him once in my quest, other than that it will be a tileset for others to use and edit eventually, some things I would just like to leave be, this being one of them. Though I still will try to do what I can on my own with the grass part, and maybe make the leaves better, no doubt about that. icon_smile.gif

Don't worry too much about being color blind.

The tree is already the correct color, so you know that it is brown, just use the same colors that are on the sprite and you will be fine. The colors in your palette structure won't change (unless you edit them, of course) so when you where the colors are you will be fine using them and you don't have to blame your colorblindness. I hope that made sense.

The tree overall is fine. I would change parts here and there If i wanted to refine it/perfect it, but it's nothing to worry about.
