I'm trying to do some 32x32 grass and dirt tiles... Any thoughts on what I've got so far? ------------- http://opengameart.org - http://opengameart.org Free, legal art for Open Source game projects. |

They're decent. Just as a preference I always make multiple versions of each to avoid as much pattern tiling as I can. Though I admit pattern tiling is often unnoticed by people who don't sprite. |

| Yeah, I'd make more dirt tiles at the least. Those tiny little rocks would create very awkward zigzags on a larger scale. D: |

Point taken. When I see it on a large scale, it's pretty clear that there's a lot of repetition.

I think the dirt looks wonderful aside from the tiling issue. The grass looks nice too, but I'm not really sure a single round tuft like that would get much use? Maybe try making an honest-to-goodness tiling grass tile. ------------- |

The tuft was just an experiment, mostly to see how my grass would interact with my dirt, and get some comments. I'm planning on making a set of tiles out of it, particularly since it seems to have gone over fairly well.

I've done some more work. Added a new dirt tile, and pretty much every necessary corner tile. Here's what I have now: ->  How's it look? edit: added a plant ------------- http://opengameart.org - http://opengameart.org Free, legal art for Open Source game projects. |

I've updated the grass a bit more, which hopefully gives it some more depth. Obviously I'll have to redo all of the transitions, and have some variation tiles as well, but I think it's coming along. :) I'll be leaving the dirt mostly alone (except maybe for creating some more variation tiles). It seems to be going over fairly well. Thoughts? ------------- http://opengameart.org - http://opengameart.org Free, legal art for Open Source game projects. |

Your corner tiles look like, well, corners :)
You could try making them a bit smoother. I think you need two types of corners...

How's this? (and a variant with more contrast:)  I kind of reverted back to the older grass pattern, but I added some highlights to give it more depth. Note the rounded corners. :) ------------- http://opengameart.org - http://opengameart.org Free, legal art for Open Source game projects. |

Looks better. First one also looks better than the second one imo. ------------- |
