Largely studied from http://www.wayofthepixel.net/index.php?topic=7930.0 with a little bit of emulated fiddling. Amazing art on the environments.
No art is ripped, in case that's unclear, I used a similar technique to their art for the trees though (4x4 meta-canopy tileset)
Things I'm happy with:
- tree detail
- house detail
- most of the paths
- character style
Things that I'd improve
- path large block tiles look very tiled
- door size somehow (its too small, but it takes half the screen otherwise)
- make some other grass patches
Characters in this break GBC restrictions because fuck the police. Its not GBC res either.
Time: 3 hours on and off over the day.
edit: spent another 40min giving it some love, here's the old one for those interested http://i.imgur.com/eHF0h.png |
It's a good style to emulate. This screen shot looks great too.
