Hello, everyone. I need some help with scenery. When it comes to things like backgrounds, decorations and tile sets I am stumped - I don't even know where to begin. What should I be studying and practicing to hone this part of my mastery? |

Fond a ref image on google or better yet take a photo and pixel it.

| post some examples of what you can do and people can help, but as is this question is basically "how do I pixel art" if that is your question, there are some great tutorials you can find here. I like to study work that I really like to see if I can figure out why I like it. If you're stumped on where to begin... make a grass tile, when thats good, put something on the grass tile (flower, rocks, etc), when thats good add more. And so on until you have a background |

Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't know the appropriate place to post if I didn't necessarily have anything to show right away. I spent most of today studying terrain techniques and going through a copious amount of trial-and-error to come up with some basic tiles. I still have a lot more to do (like proper corner pieces) but this is a good start, I think. My biggest problem was that I was too ambitious with my initial thought. I just needed to do something very small and basic and the details would come to me in the process. I am still learning how I work best! |
