In OoS they were similar, but I think it is harder to effectively change seasons in ZC cause in OoS objects and terrain change with seasons which does a lot for detail and style, but in ZC you are left with palette swapping, or drawing alternate maps.

Just you wait... [/intentional vagueness]

idk but any critiques- the smoke is because its meant to be in the twilight zone pic

Nightmeres: Now there's something you don't see everyday. Some of the water borders are way too square, and the water on the mountain looks odd (and too straight), but besides that it has a nice creepy feel to it.

Re-posting because it got lost on the previous page:

And so it begins.






OMG I POSTED A SCREENSHOT!
I think the scripted animation makes this scene look more lively, but the floor seems somewhat under-detailed. Any ideas?

[Omega]

@ Moscow: You could create a cracked version of these floor tiles to place here and there. Maybe 2-3 different edits, so it's not the same tile repeated a few times. Though that screen looks good without much ground detail needed aside from objects and the current ground tiles you've got. You could use two different floor tiles in a checker like pattern to make things look better without needing to add much objects and/or ground decorative tiles and edits.

Thanks, I'll try that and see how it turns out.

[Nightmeres]

@moscowmoder and anyone who wants to critique.

If that sunken stone tablet has no purpose, I'd remove it. All in all, it's a decent screen, surely an improvement from your last one.

[Nightmeres]

it has a purpose, for one this is going to be a flooded graveyard and it will hold a secret later

The way the vines work with that mountain, it looks like the water would be flowing off the edge of the mountain and creating a waterfall where the vines are. you might want to consider adding in a little 'land' at the top of the vines.

The palette's pretty gross. I love the shape of the screen though. Also, the heart piece on the edge of the screen is quite awkward. I'd extend the path a bit, or just put it on the screen left of the heart.

You should also be taking pictures in ZC and not ZQ, it doesn't look as good. Or you could edit out ZQ's editing stuff and put it on your image website (And put it up with image tags instead of a link). It'll look much better.

i'm the wolf holding up the heart. don't know why its black though.

I would lower the amount of colors used by the mist/fog (and remove its outlines), that would clean up the look a lot.

how about now? still don't know why heart is black.

[Supindahood]

Very much better!

Minor things:
- Tallgrass is grey compared to regular grass which is green?
- The stone is too bright
