amazing! make every comment you recieve like they were 3 comments! it is so famous!

hey adarias,

thanks for pointing that out so nicely - i totally agree about the flags, my eyes were aware of this  long before my brain heh. about the 2550255: Yes im used to it and i have this ugly colour everyday infront of me. hmm its like with cigarettes you know? They taste bad but you smoke them :D

 

 

 

forgot to say; disagreeing with a suggestion does not mean you disrespect it, i actually think its better to argue than just to ignore it, and if you took everyone's suggestions without question, that would be a bit strange 0.o but one should also be open to the other's opinions (for instance, the presentation issue really should be addressed)

pigs ARE large, i couldnt believe it when i first saw one.  these are on the big end, but nothing that i would consider unheard of.

the building outlines are fine as they are on your grass color, though perhaps you could heighten the difference of values used on them? it astounding how dark shadows on buildings can be, and it would really  help define them, particularly with the rest of the stuff (for example, the road has more definition atm, and probably isnt as important as the buildings, and certainly wouldnt be as contrasty as buildings in life)

one slight concern i have is that the green in the flags ends up making them look torn when they re on grass, instead of making them look like they are two different colors.  i wouldnt know how to remedy this though beyond making them not green

as far as presentation, though i am perfectly willing to believe that the pink does not bother you, it makes it difficult for most people to look at, and it does not help the piece in any way.  the rules actually say that you need to make it transparent unless it is part of the piece, though clearly the mods dont enforce this one.  the other thing is that the spritesheet extends beyond the edge of the box, and though there isnt a rule against this, its considered polite to rearrange a sheet to fit.  all of this takes 5 seconds, and to show how simple it is, i did it for you.  please keep in mind that if you want people to look at your art, you need to take a little bit of time to make it presentation-quality.  in the end, this website isnt about whether the pink bothers you, its about how people view your work, and if the pink makes it look bad to the people who are looking at it, then either you need to change it, or consider who you are posting it for.  if it's yourself, then its much simpler to just keep it on the harddrive.  if there is a reason to keep the pink background besides lasiness, simply voice it and you will be heard.  otherwise, this feels alot like losing 10 points on an english paper because you didnt leave margins the way the teacher asked, and just because you can still read it doesnt mean you shouldnt do it the way people ask, especially when it takes just a moment.

I'm not talking about what I told you - but what they told you. THE KAPPTIN, big brother, Ensellitis, and mikl3 all made perfectly good comments.

You realize 7sons that this site is for recieving crits from us - and so far, your not doing such a great job. You've disagreed with every comment here and all of which were completely valid ones. I'm not saying you have to change everything, but at least considering them might help.

God your slow 7sons. THE KAPPTIN isn't saying it needs to be a mock-up. Hes saying that since this isn't going straight into the game - but rather for us to look at and crit - it needs to be transparent so our retinas aren't burnt out. If anyone wants to use it in their game, they can add the transparency later.

kapptin - i just told the reason this piece has still a pink bg.

(quote)This site is for looking at the art, not using it in a game, (/quote) bleh? - i think it looks good as it is- i just dont feel like making mockups every day.

 

Re 7sons bg comment: Don't defend the pink bg, just don't use it. This site is for looking at the art, not using it in a game, so you should optimize it for looking at it. If someone wants to use in a game they can pink-ify it theirselves. :P

hmm - the houses are static and outlines this strong are more for animated sprites imo. The Houses have some decent (socalled selective) outline.

Ensel: Pigs are huge mate:)

mikl: you are right , this bg looks ugly, but its the standard colour for transparencys

You might want to give the houses an outline (like the pig or cavalry unit).

7/7, the pig looks huge compared to the rest, still great

Oh? very nice! i like it! 6/6. But make it with transparent backgroung nex time. Or white. Or whatever color you like, but not this.
