May I suggest adding some green bushes? Just look at what I did in the caves in the PR WIP quest by me which you have a copy from. About 3-5 bushes somewhre at the walls should work decently.
Blue and red both look really nice. In the palette, I'd say red looks best, but maybe you could differ red and blue chests for different contents? Probably rupees/ammunation and keys (and items unless those are hidden in big chests).
Oh, and I wouldn't let the miner say that Ganon mentioned something about the Flippers. If I was Ganon and wasted my time locking away miners randomly, I wouldn't tell them of some ... Flippers... actually. How about he got lost in the cave? It's fine if he knows about the flippers, but Ganon? Really? :/

I'd like to use the same color for small and big chests, and to be honest I prefer blue.



Now the miner says something like, "You saved me! I thought I'd be in here forever after that wall caved in. I'll be forever in your debt! If there's anything at all you ever need, just ask." Link will request a way to get to Lake Hylia, as Ganon has blocked off the paths, so the miner tells Link about the pair of flippers that were left in there by a group of Zoras before they moved out of the mines because all the water drained out of the cavern.

NewJourneysFire, I want to say that I really like your NewFirst efforts. It is a set which is under rated, and no one really uses. I like the additions as well. The pyramid, and the mini-mountains from the cloud tops looks pretty cool.

No, seriously, I think now it's pretty solid. The green works very well in that scene, nice.
Also, probably a good idea to go with the blue. My first idea when seeing the red chest was : Master Key? And yeah, that's sort of not what's hidden there, right?

Edit: Just noticed that pillar on the right side that's placed at the cornor of those cave-walls. I'd remove it. But it doesn't hurt the screens terribly much.

Actually there is a key hidden in there. It's the one that opens up the mines, specifically.

Anyways, is the pillar that I removed the one you're talking about?

I've been working on a new palette for the center of my classic map. It is supposed to be a sort of creepy and mysterious valley that you land in when Link is carried away by a storm. I hope to make it slightly unnerving and outlandish, and I think this palette does the job fairly well.



Thoughts? Criticism? I'm open to suggestions.

Looks a lot better without that pillar

EDIT - HK - very nice! A little more spread out ground detail would help

Thanks Lynker!

I'd lighten up the reds on the trees; it looks almost black to me, and I'm using an abnormally bright monitor. The greens are perfect, though.

[Jared]

You're welcome Moo!



How do you guys feel about this screen?

[Moo2wo]

I'd make the pools of water a little less straight. I'd also remove the tree stump; it's not really of use, and Link has to go out of his way to get around it. Other than that though, it's a really nice screenshot.

[Jared]

Alright, fixed! Thanks a bunch!

Yes, that's the one. Looks better now. A very lovely screen, actually. I like it. =)

[Jared]

You know what would make that treasure even cooler?
Take the lightest colors (The tans) of the cave and put it on the orange of the chest. It'll make it blend in more, and it would help it look AWESOME!

[Moo2wo]

Thanks again guys!

I have to disagree about the orange/gold color. I want the chest to be the focus of the screen, and different, unique colors help it do so.
