Nice looking shot! I love the way the house is build into the cliffside.

My only issue is with the right side of the house. The left wall looks like it's carved out of the cliff, but the right side looks like there's a sort of mound sticking out. It just doesn't look quite right with how it connects into the mountain. Maybe some shadows toward the top would help make it look like there's a slight overhang. But maybe that's not what you're going for at all.

Here's some shots of the new smallish quest I am starting.

[Sephiroth]

This is Link's house. Or hole, depending on how you look at it, I guess. Those of you with keen eyes might want to have that checked out, cause that sounds like a terrible infection, but this shot is actually kind of inspired by one of the first screens you'd see in the old tHP demo. Meaning what you see here is good old Treskott Village. I am not sure at the moment if we're going to keep that name, but the general layout will probably be a little familiar to people who played the original demo.

Also, it's been a while since I've done screens in ZC, so there are probably some errors, both big and small. Feel free to point them out, that'd be really helpful, but do know that I'm already aware of the weird color-issues and some of the layering (over the flowerbed, for example).

Edit:

I've added a few more details and edited some minor stuff.

I like the first one more than the second one, ... the second one with the lip above the doorway kinda causes some perspective clashes. ...

Trying out some grass tiles.



Other versions that turned out pretty badly: grass2.png, grass3.png

When the grass in the second "rejected" screenshot is full-screen without any other type of grass, I think it looks pretty effective. The borders between grasses is where it starts getting more chaotic on the eye. I wonder what could be done about that. Maybe raise the grass with a darker color between them, on the lower borders, and on the upper borders, make the grass elevated with a lighter color above the new regular solid grass color?

[Sheik]

Yep, second rejected works. The trees don't work, though (style clash), but that's another story. Just felt like pointing that out in case you consider keeping them.

Hmm...looking at these, I really think it's mainly your palette that needs some fixing. It seems odd to have black outlines around some things, and to have them be entirely absent in other places. It makes some things stand out in a strange way. Also, you might want to make the water a little brighter and be a little bit less saturated. Right now it looks like that delicious mini golf course water. :B *Cookie for who gets the ref*

Another try:


Still has DoR borders, but whatever.

Looks good to me! But shouldn't this be in the original graphics thread rather than screenshot critique (assuming you're just showing the grass)?

I will be uploading many new images today, and some of my visually finest work. Keep checking back to see what I have in store.

Starting with:

[TheLegend_njf]

Please excuse the awkward locations of warp return locations. Most of these screens have been transferred from Souls of Wisdom, and remastered as a revisited area in Souls of Wisdom 2. Much of the warp return points were transferred along with the maps that I transferred over. This will be all fixed up in the final edits.

Also, the pink snow looking area is called Twilight Winter, yes, that is lava you see in those images. But Twilight Winter is another realm that's a result of the Dark World merging with the Light World on Death Mountain.

The white rocks that almost look like Snowballs are a Goron specialty on this mountain. They are White Eldin Ore, and the cave behind the village of Fii is full of them, and with no coincidence the new Goron home where they are being mined and stored around the village.
















I think that's enough for now, I may upload 2 or 3 more later tonight, but I may not either. We'll have to see.

Very good i like them :-)

[TheLegend_njf]

Thank you, compliments and critiques are always appreciated.

[Russ]

Oh man, I'm really loving those screens. The snow and lava combo in particular is really nice; to the best of my knowledge, Lost Isle's the only quest that's tried it before. It looks awesome! My only complaint is that on the screen with the blue rupee, walking up straight into a tree might be annoying. Other than that, they're awesome!

[Mero]

Damn Cole, the way you made ravines in some of those shots turned out great. May I suggest sparkles like in ALTTP?
