Oh, alright. ;__;
Looks like I'm stuck with the ALttP water.
Anyway, I go make a new palette!
Can't make palettes o-o

A teaser of my Zelda-Megaman hybrid quest, which was mentioned quite a while in this thread:

I like the design, pretty generic witch is good I suppose, but the colours are a little too funky for my tastes and the shallow path is too straight forward without something to brake it. In other words: not the best I've seen from you C'mon I've seen better from you. icon_smile.gif

@TK: Thanks for pointing that out! I'm using these mountains, and I don't see the variation you're talking about in the available tiles. Is there something I'm missing? Or is this a poorly-made tile group? If it can't be improved, maybe I'll just replace them with the more-recently-added LttP-style mountains.

I see... I used these ones, which I recolored perfectly for the DoR tileset:

And I submitted a cave which Nuvo made in the following submission:

And this is where I got them from originally:

As you can see in the original submission by NoeL, those mountains are intended to have variations in them.

Alright, palette critique time! I made this forest palette. It's supposed to give a sort of dark and mysterious feeling.

That's so great! The palette really matches the screen.
Did you draw these flowers? Looking good!

Thanks dude! To be honest, this is the first palette I've ever successfully made. All my other ones have been scrapped months ago due to them being odd looking.

It's a great palette I think.

On the screen itself: I don't think it looks right that the water has a border at the top of the waterfall, if you know what I mean.

Might I suggest adding a heap of blue to the browns? They'd blend with the other colours better.
Edit: The darkest shade could be a really dark purple, the lighter shades could feature more brownish tones. That might work. And while you are at it you could try to make the darkest greens really dark blue and the lighter shades could feature rather greenish tones.

Thanks Sheik91! Thanks a lot! I will try this out in graphics gale. That's what I used to make this palette. The reason why my older palettes were scrapped was because I used ZQuest's built in palette editor and they sucked. With graphics gale I can not only control the blue and green tints, but the red ones as well. Makes it a lot easier. Plus, I can see what each color is doing on screen.

Yeah, this looks pretty good to me! icon_biggrin.gif I really like it. But as Twilight Knight mentioned, having the water boarder at the top edge of the waterfall looks quite odd. Just act like the waterfall is more regular water, instead of barring it off as if it were grass or something else. But it looks great otherwise!

*Shakes fist at Why Not Link because you got him in before me*

Anyway, the new palette makes the screen a lot better. I really like it!
BAH. Why can everyone get the water in, but me?! They look weird, and the heights don't match up with the DoR mountains icon_frown.gif

Orin XD: Yeah, I'm not really a Classic master or anything, but... I dont like your screens. The Colors are too bright and odd looking. Also, its looks quite boring. The deep water should have detail (even if just dots), the shallow water path is way too straigh and there is no detail on the ground (you can use the sand tiles as detail). The design is not half bad, though.

Sepulcher: Pallet, WIN. Water, Odd...
I've got it, others have told you already..
