Okay... these are 100% custom drawn, except the sand... now, they're not finished. I'm going to edit the top a little bit, but now I want to know what you think I should do to improve the ''wall''

I figured we needed somthing to use in deserts instead of mountains...
So, comments and suggetions GREATLY apreciated!

[Professor Bedwetter]

WOW that is total ownage!

[Eddard McHorn Van-Schnuder]

Thanks! But they're not done, remember that.
And they're going to be pretty hard to use!

It all depends if youre going for a custom feel or a zelda feel. If youre going for a realistic zelda feel, square off the mountains like in LTTP. other Than that they rock,Go Migokalle

Thanks Mig. As said in chat, I've needed something like this for awhile now.

[Eddard McHorn Van-Schnuder]

still, please remember that these need some finishing up. I'm going to edit the top a little bit next. What I want now, is ideas on how to improve the ''walls''... or are they good enough?

[Mitchfork]

You should probably go for more shading on the walls. As it stands, it's just not too realistic. However, it looks like you nailed the shape, so half the battle is won.

[ElLibertador]

These are great. I'm not going to bite you for this but shouldn't the shading be reversed. You know...light hitting the wrong side.

About the walls...I think the shading should break later. The shading in general needs a little work...otherwise these are really cool. I will definitely use these.

[Eddard McHorn Van-Schnuder]

Oh, that's cool! I'll work more on these tomorrow... Maybe they'll even be customary in every tileset when they're finished? To be honest, that IS my hope

[linkootsp]

These are good and all they need is shading. I'm still working on tiling ,and shading isn't my strongpoint so like I said YAY Go migokalle, I'll probably use these If I have a desert level in my quest.

[Joe123]

They look really good actually. But, as LinkMystro said, the light's coming from the wrong side which really is quite a problem, seeing as just about everything else ever seems to have it coming from the top left, and the shading on the left hand side that is a darker texture with dots in looks horrible.

EDIT: Sorry, Simmilar names and all.

Joe, when did I say that? This is my first post on the topic

On the other hand, they're not exactly well-rounded. They look odd, and the edges where sand meets falloff are too outlined. But as pointed out, they are a work in progress.

[ElLibertador]

What would looks really cool is if the top sand rolled off the edge onto the wall. At least I think so.

BTW Joe, I said that, not Linkus.

[lucas92]

I would go with a more orange sand for the vertical faces. It seems too similar to the ground right now.

It's looking very good though, looks like the gerudo desert in TP.

[Evile]

They look pretty good. Probably look better if it wasn't a jpg.
