@Feenicks: My only complaint would be the font you're using for the DMap title, sticks out a bit. Other than that, pretty nice! (And what up with those eggs!?)

 

Here's a revised palette of my last shot. Also, CHEST!

DA F**K is in here?

Nice palette work

[Sephiroth]

... Needs a bit of work with the waterfall, but I think this shot is done.

Oh yeah, October.

[Do want to add a few more variations to the stalfos, because right now they're a bit plain, but that can happen later]

[Sheik]

Well, maybe.

Well, maybe.

I don't see why not.

Edit: Autumn Forest Version

In reality, if I had to choose a place to visit and hang out and take pictures in, this would be my choice by far.

In-game, it's just the way transparent layers kill the colors that undermines scenes like this for me. If you output both the ground and overhead layers individually, then stack the images together in a layer-based image editor like Photoshop, the comparison between that final image and the in-game screen would be significant, if not radical depending how many layers you use. I know because I did it, and it's hard to go back to accepting 8-bit color degradation after that:

In-game:


Photoshop:


Check out the brown dirt path and cliffs (or should I say "gray" for the original), as well as the detail retained on the tree tops at the bottom. Unless I can do overhead shadow layers in a way that doesn't gray out colors and cause detail loss, I simply avoid them entirely.

All your golds went gray/green, and unfortunately that sapped some of the beauty out of your shot, despite the layer design itself being quite good.

Ehhhh not big on GB sprites but there's no other sprites out there as far as I am aware. :I

[Sheik]

It's really not bad at all, even with the GB sprites. However, with the small sprites the big trees look out of place. So I guess the thing would really benefit from smaller trees or bigger sprites (at least for Link and the old man). I would probably use some of the "clean" grass, too.

[Shane]

I would personally like a shrunken version of the trees but unfortunately my attempts at them have been unsuccessful. Might have another go at it actually. Thanks for the comment either way!

[Matthew]

I really like your screen Shane, for whatever reason it gives off a Link's Awakening vibe.

[Moonbread]

Honestly, I think it's fine the way it is.  Maybe I'm just not picky or something, but I feel like it's a good blend of styles that actually works together.  Now actually do something with it, goddammit.

[Sheik]

I made this screen

 

 

But I am not sure whether the mountains join correctly. Here's the questioable spot:

 

It probably needs to join one tile lower... I wil try that out.

Edit: Is this better? I guess so.

[Shane]

Much better! Screen design is great too.

[Matthew]

That's your custom Tileset, right? It certainly looks amazing!

[David]

Yeah that fix really improved the mountain look. Overall, though, the screen design is really good and I love the detailing!

[Sheik]

That's your custom Tileset, right? It certainly looks amazing!

 

Not much at all a custom tileset, actually. It's just edited trees and mountains, the rest is any one of the Pure tilesets. The look is quite easily achieved by simply using only the LttP(esque) tiles and none of the other ones.

Here's a couple more screens from the Lake area:



Thanks for everybody's feedback!
