I know curves are hard to, do...cus I can't do them xD
But they still look blocking... |

Is it supposed to look realistic? Because it doesn't look like a tower, but more like a bunch of blocks stacked on top of eachother. How about giving it some cohesiveness?

I'd just like to take this opportunity to remind people that there should NEVER be a horizon in isometric drawings.

@Sythus: yeah, curves are hard to do >< and the ones ive made prolly isnt the best but ohwell.. ill have to look up some tutorials later. @Aleiav: no, its not really supposed to look realistic. and excuse my bad english but whats cohesiveness? >_> @Lawrence: well, i dont want a one colored background and it would probably look more empty then now since im not gonna add any background objects. ------------- - - -

I really like the colours on this, very warm and calming. I think if you're just adding a background, it may be a nice idea to add a dithered gradient (im obsessed with dithering atm) rather than that simple two shades cut with a line. I think it'd be interesting to make this some sort of arty sculpture thing. You could break up the blockyness with something weird and wacky like a hand coming out of one of the pieces, or having an interesting engraved pattern. Neway, keep it up. ~ -------------  http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">

Originally posted by Lawrence I'd just like to take this opportunity to remind people that there should NEVER be a horizon in isometric drawings. NEVER EVER  EDIT: Unless you are making an iso scene where a ship in the 1600's goes to the edge of the world. btw, I like your tower. The curves will make themselves apparent as it grows. Focus on proportion and weight first. Awesome colors. ------------- |

 No more Horizon! i must say the dithering looks pretty good :) and good ideas about doing sculptures, engravings, decorations and suh on the tower. ------------- - - -

The bolt-shaped thing has a gradient shading on the edge facing us. Shouldn't it be a flat dithered shade between those of the two adjacent sides? ------------- http://pixelmonkey.ensellitis.com">

Nice dithering on the background. Cohesiveness means... make it look like it goes together. Like it's one form not several stacked on top of eachother. ------------- |
