Something I noticed is that everything is monochromatic. It reminds me of a particular genre of video games that are very violent.

Yes. This. Perfect.

[anikom15]

Yeah that's good. Not too muted, not too bright.

What Master Maniac said. Hats off to you sir! Thank you very much!

No problem. Glad to be of some use.

Monochromatic? As in...?

 

Edit: I finally nailed a great autumn look! :O

 

The rocks are a bit more darker with another golden touch. Works for me!  

 

And I did this new one yesterday: (Sunset Greens)

 

 

Feedback appreciated as always

The wild jungle one reminds me more of a "Spring at sunset" type of palette.typically, a jungle consists of very deep greens, and various other vibrant colors in the foliage. Bright red flowers, etc.

 

HOWEVER, that's not to say that the palette doesn't look great. Because it does. I just don't think it's appropriately named.

Hmmmm, you're right... I'll try to add a more "jungly" feel to it I'll leave that one, but I'll add another one that looks more like a jungle

On a side note, this is for your DoR hybrid project, correct?

Ya, interested?

Now this one works for a wild jungle doesn't it? :O (Renamed the other similar one to Sunset Greens)

 

I love making palettes now! XD

Well, the rain seems off-color (I've never seen green rain before!), but that might just be the wrong CSet used.

 

Overall though, great job!  However, it looks more like a cloudy jungle (which is understandable considering you added rain to the picture).  If you wanted a jungle without clouds, go with brighter colors.  Also, try to implement some bright colors for the flowers, if possible.  That might just require a separate, recolored tile if replacing the white with color affects other things not looking right.  Recoloring (copied) flower tiles isn't hard to do.

I've never seen blue rain either. It should be greyish-white. The rain in Pure and DoR is quite fat and weird-looking. I should rip the rain from Mother 3 and ALttP one of these days.

Your grass colours in the autumn/spring shots are insanely high contrasted. You need to darken your midtones, because at the moment they're almost indistinguishable from the highlights and stand out like crazy against the shadows.

You don't have enough tonal contrast (i.e. difference in brightness) between the grass and mountains in your autumn shot. Fixing the midtone issue should help this, but if not you'll need to bump that up (just darken the grass slightly - should do it).

What (I assume) anikom15 was maybe referring to by "monochromatic" is that there's no hue shifting across your colour ramps - for example your leaf colours are just the same green but at different brightnesses. As a general rule of thumb, highlights should be shifted a little bit towards yellow (i.e. the brightest greens should be yellowy-green) and shadows should be shifted towards blue/purple (so your darkest greens should be bluey-green). Gives your palettes a bit more life.
