Just practicing my isometric pixel art skills! I tried to come up with an interesting and dynamic building shape before moving on to choosing a palette.



Just looking for some C+C. I'll update as it comes along.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks for the reply!

And don't worry about trying to guess what it is, because I'm not even sure what it is either ^^. I just kind of went with the flow and that's how it happened to turn out.

And as for the helicopter pad, I just added it for fun and I couldn't tell if I liked it or not so I kept it in. It'll either stay or go depending on what I decide the building or theme will be.

Anyway, I think the outline is far enough along for me to start testing some colors on it. I'll definitely keep it updated as I continue to work on it.

Thanks again for the nice comments!

Beautiful. You had good! Just choose a good palette, try doing it yourself, then you train isos and palettes! :)

Well the shading is solid, can't say I particularly adore the green though. Not for a building at least. I was imagining some sort of sandy yellow or orange tinge.

I think, before you continue, you should decide on what this building is so that you can decorate it accordingly.

lfspr is right, too. If you choose your own palette you can practice that at the same time as practising isos.

Good luck!

you seem to be headed into the style of E-Boy.  As of now, the cyan is overpowering the somewhat toned down orange.  On top of that, the cyan isn't properly depicting windows or glass.  I'm not going to comment on the actual building design itself, since I think you should follow the style in your head and experiment a bit as well, but take a look at this E-boy work, how the colors are well balanced and create harmony.  Take a look at how this building creates a glass effect for the windows with a more transparent blue.

@Frost Butt: Yes, I have been slightly influenced by E Boy. And looking at it now, the cyan color was a bit too saturated compared to the rest of the palette.

@Partack: Haha nope, just regular windows on a regular building. I guess that means I should change the color then.

Changed the hue and saturation of the windows; I think the colors fit a lot better into the palette now.



I'm not sure if i really like the shine streaks on the windows, but i wasn't sure what else to do with them. In my opinion, the windows on the left look a lot better than those on the right. I wasn't sure if the shine streaks on the right were supposed to be in the same direction as the ones on the left or if they were supposed to angle towards the top left.

Either way, let me know what you think about the new blue colors as well as the windows. I'd appreciate some suggestions on what I should do with them. I'm not sure if I want to do the transparent effect that was in the E Boy picture about. Thanks for the replies and suggestions you two!

Thanks, I might mess around with the windows a bit just to see if i can find a better way to do the shine. And I'll definitely be adding stuff to the roof and around the building to make it more exciting pretty soon. Might bring the helicopter pad back if it looks any good

As always, thanks for your help!
