good thing about ISO is that i can add some irregular shapes and they will still look iso.

Haha this is great rustbug inspiration :P How did i miss this? When i saw that update my heart fluttered with joy, it's a great route you're taking. Try not to just highlight the edges/corners of the rocks, we need to see some flat planes highlighted too (that said from looking at the seemingly more rendered rocks) but i expect you knew and are planning on doing that anyway. All i can say is good luck then! :) I'll keep watch. -------------  http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">

Well, black outlines are just evil, in my humble opinion. So I suppose you are planning to color them, and refine the ones of the gears. The lightsource of the lower big metal pear looks different, I think there should be a shadow projected by the rock; the pipes on the left looks illuminated in a strange way. My my opinion help you, good job! ------------- You'll hear your steps making no noise |

I think that this is some sort of factory and can use some sort of oil this is what I think when see yestarday - one full cycle:  in lake can put fountain and some strange enviropment or maybe some sort of mutants which going from the lake hahaha than in pump station region can put many mechanisms - mutants can attack mechanizms :) between first cuiltivation and pumps can add pipes which are connected to the produce area front part of the mountain will be free for some holes with guards. They are over storage area and can watch all areas. I think that must need some air between mountain and produce area. PS small chimney are very small to start from the ground if you want them must be over some structure. Circles and 5 containers in front part are nice, but they close the picture and this 5 containers which are repeated in front part I think that they aren't good choice because when see work first what somebody see is that area. be shure that I'll watch topic ;) Sorry, but I have problem to upload work over 1024 x /I'm not test 768/ in Photobucket, because he smash her :( I have that problem with one my old work :( |

Your color choices are always interesting, and usually work. However, the turquoise pops a bit too much in certain areas of the building (typically when it's near the greenish-beige). It works fine in the rest of the piece though.

i do see too that the turquoise is taking too much space from the rest of the colors... not blending very well with its surroindings(even when its supposed to denote tehe rustyness of the metals). try to aim for a more orange/greenish color. also, you should try to get more brows/sepia colors in that greenhose. if everything has to be this "rusted" or abandoned look, it totally needs more dead nature on its exterior. also, the pipe on the roof looks way too clean in comparision with the rest of the rusted metals of the picture. ------------- I ate leel's babies |

It really doesn't feel good to edit your work... But the colors you used felt even worse for me. I know its supposed to look rusty and dusty and dirty, but this just isn't a pleasure to look at (which means you did a great job on realism ;) ) The only colors I really like are the blue ones you used on the building next to the maze. For the rest, I can't say I like them. I was not able to get my self to enormous color changes, I think it would have been harder then to get the right colors at the end. However with only small changes I wasn't able to get exactly the image I would have liked. Still I think its a tiny improvement.  I noticed you use a lot of saturation on very weird places. For example: Your darkest blue and red were very very saturated. I changed them at first. Underneath the building there is those 2 greens. A very dark and next to it a very light one. I lessened the contrast there. I removed some of the orange spots on the walls too. At the end I even removed 3 or 4 colors, and of course I did a lot of other things too but I cant remember them all. I really liked the colors of those rocks in the beginning! Please make your building look dirty without it being dirty. Or is that impossible what I just said? Well there is only one way to find out. And I think using warm colors would be the best way to achieve that. (Why didn't I think of that when I was editing your colors? Too late -_-) I hope you appreciate my efforts :) Lollige ------------- |

I'm for second variant - because green is near to the blue - and when have shadows they are with green/blue colours. In first green is too light in third shadows going too dark. Nice that remove big silo in front part - it's nice but maybe can use him to fill area in back plan somwhere. I'm afraid for that "room" in front part - I understand that she is like entrance, but why somebody will make two doors with that antechamber! Main building is great, as I say :) Just second floor maybe must a bit high /maybe because if put metal door from third floor over second he will touch the ceiling of the second/, but I'm shure that you will put so many details and this isn't important ... |

@zi, that's the secret entrance. You go to the statue, press the eyes in the correct sequence and the the door hidden by the grass can be opened.

"I am headed in the 'mad scientist, steampunk factory' direction. I think making a very homey Victorian facade that hides all the sinister action is the way to go. The factory will be run by droids :D" Until watch work with that grey/brown colours I think for some Nazi factory because theyr uniform are with grey/brown. Just idea for some "mad scientist, steampunk nazi factory' with some old type of dark green trucks and machines and some droids like some fantasy scene near to real world. Blue building in left - skylight are too small maybe must think for some other type of 3 small roofs, also the building is too low and if make some person near to her will have problem with scale.

I am struggling with the rocks :( Do you mean that the shading going across is bad because every rock has it instead of some or do you mean altogether? They are mean to be cracks, fyi. I found that unless the rocks were 'iso+boxy' overall they were not reading right so this is why they are big boulders. I figured they needed to have lots of detail since everything else is soooooo busy. This is also why the color changes and the mossy areas, etc. *I had to add one color  ------------- |

I think the problem with the rocks is the color. It seems out of place. The dark gray/black on the left side, I think all the rocks should be that color. Also, the purple shading on the rocks seems out of place as well. It suggests a night time setting, while the rest is clearly is in day time. But I know you can do this.

I think the rocks you've finished (the bottommost ones, with cracks and all) are excellent, and I love the shading on them. The more WIP-ish ones above do look really weird at this point, though, with the tan and blue-black juxtaposed like that. If they all turn out to look as good as the finished ones, it'll doubtless be a stunning effect. ------------- http://pixelmonkey.ensellitis.com">

This project now has a title, 'Indigo Rock' :) More work shown plus I am submitting it to Pixeldam once its finished so that weird thing in the bottom is to blend into the template. Overall lighting and coloring doesn't match the Pixeldam base but I don't care about this too much. The lighting and coloring on this is whatever it turns out to be using this palette and eventually removing colors. Its a fantasy thing so I not really caring about the 'realness' of it. tinypic has jpegs my pixels >:(  ------------- |

I think there needs to be more variety in the cracks in the rocks. The finished shading is pretty awesome but still when I look closer they it seems like majority of the cracks break the rocks into halves or thirds and taper halfway through.. Maybe have a few areas with some cracks going further into the rock and be closer together... make some thicker and maybe put some chips into the side of the rocks..... just some thoughts, it of course looks amazing already. |

Agreed!. I will wait until all the rocks that will actually show are determined, rather than pixel needlessly now. Question: Where should the flying car/zeppellin go? Hiding hehind some rocks at the top or on that metal base I can't figure what to do with? I'm thinking 1/3 antique roadster car, 1/3 Victorian Zeppelin and 1/3 fantasy. also, is that new green glass building looking ok?  ------------- |

About the green glass building: What are those couples supposed to be? the round things next to the glass thing? For the rest I like it, and yes it looks like glass! About the ships: Where would they come from? There is really no place to land here! Send them out to sea. I would go for the position of the highest one but raise it just a little bit. Don't let it hide behind the rocks, I believe that you can make somethings very detailed and awesome of it, we have to be able to fully see that while there is enough rocks so it does not matter if you cover a bit of it by the ship.. ------------- |

Well, the roof is just meant to be architectural decoration. Seeing as how its not coming across too well I'll make a new roof :) I don't know about an observatory because the whole thing is meant to be secret and hidden from public view. This is why all the buildings have a Victorian normal looking exterior. An observatory seems to kill this idea, no? This is for those who wonder and like to learn from others. Making odd shaped iso stuff is easy when you treat them like you would a figure sprite and start by making a skeleton first.  1- 2D circles based on the widest diameter to be used. Drawn in different colors just to view easy. These are then skewed to 26.5 (iso angle). Then 74% on the width. (74 + 26 = 100) 2- These circles are placed on the axis 3- I save all shapes I make for future use so this is an old shape done as above. 4- both shapes together. The reason for the shape is that I want the vehicle to be seen and a traditional zepellin shape would cover the car. 5- Based on #4 I then draw the shape. Notice that my 2Dcircles have center lines. These are how I know from where to where how lines go. General lighting is added and the tail fins are done just like #1. 6- Basic shape to begin from. 7- Axle from my iso stuff dump. (time saver) 8- Draw basic shape, could be anything, but again it all starts from the skeleton. This insures that everything remains in scale. 9- combined 10- Pixel fun can begin now. Even tho, for me, the fun is in #1 thru #9. At this stage you can and should add as much as possible to increase visual interest. In this case I added small round mini balloons *11- post in WIP thread, get feedback, then add more and fix or even start from scratch. ------------- |

Glad my effort did not go wasted. I'll expect to see some non-boxy iso pixelart from you soon. About the observatory. Notice my white mini drawing showing overall design shape. Adding any height outside my 'canvas' is not something I want to do here. Putting it any lower makes no sense so no observatory for this project. The zepellin landing dock is kinda an observatory :| Yu may have noticed I keep chnaging BG colors with every update. Well this is it this is the PJ gallery BG color \o/ Added sculptures in the garden, remade the ship (#11), new glass roof (thx guys, y'alls rock), more walkways and fixed stuff as I caught them.  ------------- |

new roof is waaay better! Also I like the zeppelin better, the whole thing just gets better and better and like everyone says awesome! However, there is one thing I noticed while typing this :p The right side of the image is way brighter than the left side. Of course you have the rocks there, shadow etc etc, but still. The right side has an almost white building, bright reflections on metal, while on the left side, even on the metal it never gets this bright. I think you partly changed your style a bit while working, still I think with not too much efforts you can find some places to lighten the thing up. Another example: I really like the bright color of the place where also the water reflections are. but in the hole next to the glass buidling with the weird roof, there is no such bright place. And yes it is a hole of course, but that other place is situated next to a building too.. ------------- |

O_o!
AH hm ee arh!!
Holy sh*t man!
This is in it's own leage of impressiveness,i never knew you where that good.
Normal if some one is requesting critisism then i'd normal give some,but here the irony if just far great for me to ignore,the irony of someone of my skill giving crit to that jaw dropping wip epicness,i now have the highest respect for you.

I expected a more interesting title for this, like "Dr Whine Metaru at the Broken IsoRock". i doubt this could get any "hidden" anyway having that flying zeppeling above your garden :P ------------- I ate leel's babies |

@fawful, I don't see why c+c needs to come from 'some' level. All c+c is equally valid and ideas are not only for the the technically skilled, creativity and ideas are the most democratic thing on Earth. @Lollige, you sir are quite correct. I have been noticing this myself even though I was not changing style I was consiously trying to have the right side overall fit into the Pixeldam base and then getting progressively darker as I would have done the whole thing. I will brighten things up a bit here and there. @fenne,... then marry me :p @Met, I kinda thought the Zeppellin being visible is ok because they did exist in Victorian times. I just hid anything 20th Century...just fantasy, gimme a break, mofo!... How about Prof. Met gets it at Brokeback Mountain  ------------- |

Jal, Observatories exist since 2100 BC. but i know you have seen much older. I like your title, unless you're implying that i'm gay, wich i wouldn't care. not like i'm gay, gays are nice people. happy. i am happy, but not gay. because gays are happy. and even when i'm not happy being gay, i doesnt give you the right to look me down and parody my degree with your gay cliche movie. we, happy-nongay people have feelings too. i'm just non-happy non-gay now, hope yoiu're gay-happy. :( btw your steampunk needs more steam. ------------- I ate leel's babies |

Yeah that was silly statment really,i tend to not give any critisism if they surpass a rare level of impressiveness,but anyhoo it's a short lived habit that shall die an early death. Why the fck is mah writeing fudgein huge!

Here is something I don't understand, and my english is too crappy to explain it...

And I also think that the Zeppelin should be more lightened because it is highter than the glasshouse. |

I don't get it B.O.B.,...not yet ahyhow :/ @JC, that is moss growing on the rocks. All yellow rocks there looked really wrong to me so I added the water to justify the moss growing on the rocks. I'll make the moss patchy instead of all over :) The zepellin is dark bronze and wood, but I see your point. I'll polish it up, thx. ------------- |

For me the moss is ok and clear. About the rocks: they all seem to be round. Like there has been water streaming over them for ages. Get in some real cracks instead of just some horizontal lines, and remove the soft transitions from horizontal to vertical space on the rock some times. ------------- |
