Thanks for your opinions!

Just added some details.
@Ottbot
I just added some highlight, didnt remove, I will try do this, just later, when I will be at home.

@khemist000
I don't think so that removing buildings is good idea, maybe it will be more simple, but buildings are saying everything about game. One of objectives is to build buildings ;)

// Edit
Here is the latest version of my logo (I've got hope )


Thank you guys for help, it looks awesome now!
I will write soon for more help, because it is a 'long' project (^-^ )

Yes!!

Great work refining this, I think it's looking pretty sharp. Seeing it without the cars, I think it's fine without.

If I'm going to nitpick at this point, the highlight of the ground below the buildings is a bit jagged in places.

Work is going well :D Here is what I did:


What do you think about this logo? :)
I think I will add some effects on text.

I'm really bad at drawing, so I need your opinions, I'm trying to fix everything :/

I did it:


These points isn't Milky way, this is Cars Way, like here: http://lava360.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/future-city.jpg

Flying cars, I said I'm bad at drawing :D
I think it looks better, first and second are good, but I think the best is first

Maybe you have got right here. I don't know how about other people, but I'm programming a lot of things. My theory of programming is just "create it, and then, upgrade it", so I've got a lot of things to upgrade.
I started with planets, because that was first thing I did with this project, then logo, but in meanwhile, I created maps, GUI and other stuff, and I have to see, how it looks, to know what change, fix and add. It is hard to explain, but I'm alone and I can't do everything, especially, when I'm not as good as other people on this forum. So I put here everything I've got problem with.

Anyway, I don't want especially somebody to help, because, I know me, I know that I start project and after some time, I create other one, so I don't want a situation like somebody will create textures for me or I will buy them, and after it I will end project :S but always I've got hope, I will finally end project ;_;

It is hard for me to link programming and drawing, thanks god I didnt start with music (^-^ )
But I read what you're saying and I'm trying to "absorb" it and use it in other projects/textures/etc..

The funny thing is that project in your mind is always changing - from space to earth :D Firstly I thought I will create epic game space, now I landed on the Earth. In the future, this project will change, I know it ;)

Idea of logo:

Here I am again! I've got some good news about my game. It is going very well. I wrote a lot of code, random generators, drawing map, and all other stuff, I've got just some things to do and I think I will end this project, maybe I will upgrade it and develop, we will see.

The game for now looks like this (without shading):


I use my textures, which aren't good, because they've got a lot of GIMP Filters like HSV Random generator and Color Balance Filter, and I think it should be more clear and more simple like textures in the "Terraria" game.

Terrain:

The most important things I should fix are backgrounds. I've got 2 simple backgrounds:


I have to upgrade them, but I don't know especially how to do it :/ I know, I will add third background which will be forest.

Have you got any ideas how to upgrade or fix these textures and backgrounds? I need opinions before I will "do" something with this game.

Thanks :)

Hi again, I've got now next big problem. I have to make "logo". It seems to be easy, but it isn't (for me, sure thing). I thought a little about it, and I think I will make logo with astronaut which is saluting to "the hope of new world", he's looking at this beautiful new world at which he came. He dropped his luggage (O2, H20, etc.).

It will be something like this:


I'm not "spec" on drawing characters, so I'm asking you, I can say, I beg you - give me tips how to make it/fix it/improve it.

I want to create something like this:

Just astronaut is inverted and he just take off his helmet.

Thanks.

Following your way of drawing, I did smaller planet and she looks like this:


What do you think about this shading?

//Edit
I did something like this:


Based on http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13560&PD=0

What do you think about it?

@SuperTurnip
I tried to make something with AA and lighting (based on noobtorials) and I did this:
and
but I'm not sure that it is good ^^ anyway, I don't know now how to create lands and clouds, but I will try to do it in some of the next hours...

I'm trying to make something like this:

They are ok not seeing other tiles and GUI and stuff.
However, these seem over pixelled. You can be simple and just as effective. If you are just getting started then consider finding your way testing with the smallest possible planet you're likely to make. Once it works on that then its easy to make bigger and keep the style and look consistent.
