omg, I haven't looked here in a few days.
It is awesome looking. The back wall is amazing.
My only crit here is the stone bridge, its too thin. I think it needs some support beams or thickness on the side.
Something that may tie things together is to have a gutter wall on the lower corner where the water ends like the one by the wall to close things off. Then mayve some loose walking stones from that corner perhaps.

Ok here is the goose ... they are too many hehe ;)

Also repair 1 px thickness of the bridge and make him 3-4 px in his wide and will think for support beams! About the lower corner If I make 2 bloks /with mill/ will need the water - else will close the corner as you talk Jal.

Morgan cook yep will add more details on the road and some cracks, because now the paths are very flat ... just want to make big elements as a bundle of hay.

I'm a bit lazy, but working on the roof with small steps :)

... and some small update



add palette Morgan - 43. I can replace colours with red dots which I add for water. They are very near, but want water to be blue and not going near to grey ... Also maybe need 1 green for better grass and 1 red for clothes and another elements as lamp ets. !

This is looking great!!!!!!!! I could only imagine being able to draw Iso like that. i started pixeling wiht iso so i look up to you and Jal[You guys are gods of ISO]. Cant wait to see finished update!

Both houses are really good! Will you animate the mill?? It would be fantastic

now when http://www.pixeldam.net have new version can back to old work :)

here is idea for water-mill with roof made of hay /strange but !/... palette is same as previous work ... horse going to donkey ...

wooden beams and wheel are near to be finished ...

maybe corn-field  is too light and yellow and maybe need more consistence of the corn, but ...

wheat of course my mistake Wheat is most used for bread and flour  I try to make 8px height because the dog is 9px and if put between wheat must see his head also will be near to the belt of the peoples ...

dogmeat and some storage :) yep diversity=good that is why stop with wheat for now :)

I love the composition. The small building will look fine when the roof is added.

I think the corn should be taller  but otherwise this looks fantastic so far!

This going about 60 hay 40 wood - I'm not so happy because for my taste hay is too much for the work, but try with more wood for that type of roof which come like idea and result was poor ... maybe must think more for another roof !

some other mainly is contrast and shadows which was repaired I think now is better maybe !

leel repair corn with 2px more

Jal - OK, I'll keep and will make only one hole for more fun ...
================================================

which pig somebody prefer ? I have only 2 colours in red zone else with brown is better...

I'm for rose.

I'm not good with sprites and If somebody have some C&C !



PS
Now I see that legs of the pig are very long.

The pig is beautiful, so is the bird.
I think you need to show more corn, they are the best detail of all.
The small basket inside the door is a fantastic touch.
The one thing that might be somewhat cute and interesting is the guy's wife in the balcony, like throwing water out of a bucket into the river. That area is too empty of 'life'. Or else a cat on the roof or crows. Anything really, just life up there.

Wow. That's incredible!!! The level of detail is just mind blowing. I'm trying to think of the quality of game an ISO world like these could make O.o
I read where someone called you and Jal the gods of ISO. They'd be right

now have life everywhere like family village idyll  maybe need one character more but ... also put the bucket near the person because with bucket and cane was very strange ... have version with bucket in the hands

yep jal now is better, because have 3 yellow areas which aren't near one to another ...

Well if you make the rotation so fast, it would mean the water is flowing at hig speed, while everything else in your work is pretty static.
I'd slow down a lot the aimation, so you can give the idea of a flowing water more simplier, maybe only moving a bit some reflections.
A very very very VERY very very and overway cool thing would be make that water vegetation moving!

Just noticed the guy snoring between the trees!
I really admire and respect you
Can't wait to see the finished work!

By the way, i just noticed the floating squirrel too! Maybe you can animate that too, if you have time, space and will!

Hi Zi,

I just realized a wheel like that weights alot and it can never stand up like that without help. So I looked for images on the internet, and indeed the wheel will allways have some sort of a standard its leaning on.  Ill show you what I mean.

I'm sad that I missed the second project, A third? 
Oh where's the shadow of the small building? If u added one in it's too light. Look under the the the porch of the bid house, the shadow is darker thn the maybe shadow of the small building.

those new colours are much softer on the eyes - big improvement

what lollige suggested: the wheel does need some support but it would be a shame to lose that nice little bit of animation on the plant - maybe if the plant was moved to the right you would be able to have both?

also will the squirrel be animated? if it ran out from behind the chimney and jumped into the tree it would be lovely, though I'm not sure what your frame restrictions are...  The squirrel looks very odd when other parts of the picture are moving.

Not unless the entire lower half of the wheel was underwater.
e: Or did I misunderstand? I thought you meant that the wheel would also carry some water upward.

This art is simple amazing, it gives off a Metal Slug feel to me.
