About a year ago I was working on a big city tileset project based on my comic Urban Buzz. There are actually a ton of tiles that didn't make it to this, but they were also kind of boring (more store fronts, other bricks.) I was holding off posting it because I kept compulsively adding more to it, but I think I've sat on it long enough that I'll share.
This is very heavilly influenced by the Scott Pilgrim game sprite art.

Mr.Fahrenheit (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 6/24/2012 14:14

 Beautiful colors. Only problem with it is those two buildings next to each other behind DISCOLANDIA.


user
TGK (Level 2 Hired Gun) @ 6/18/2012 12:38

Great use of pixel art.


user
Delfos (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 5/5/2012 08:12

This is completly amazing. It remainds me of SEGA's "AAh! Real Monsters" game.


user
avo (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 5/5/2012

 Lovely colors. The whole style is cool too. Really nice image!

The Salvation Army shield is a really good touch on the thrift store sign

Fantastic!

Delicious (Level 10 Capo) @ 5/3/2012 15:36

 Hey Arnold is exactly what this reminded me of too!


user
PoisonousJoy (Level 4 Mercenary) @ 5/3/2012 15:15

 I love this! I was trying to get a style similar to (as in almost exactly like) this one, actually, a day or two ago. Mind if I use this as a reference?


user
Hapiel (Level 11 Bonsai) @ 5/3/2012 13:31

Unclean pixels done right! Awesome!


user
Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) @ 5/3/2012 08:00

i'd certainly play scott pilgrim if it looked like this.

in fact, this feels closer to what one would had seen in Hey Arnold than anything to me.


user
jamon (Level 10 Operative) @ 5/3/2012 01:54

clean and nice! 


user
OCEANSCENTED (Level 3 Enforcer) @ 5/2/2012 23:39

"JUST TAMAGOTCHIES (going out of business)" Bahahah, oh gosh.

And yeah, you somehow made banding work to your advantage! This is amazing!


user
Delicious (Level 10 Capo) @ 5/2/2012 20:12

 So much banding, yet it looks great.. o.o


user
Balamoot (Level 10 Maniac) @ 5/2/2012 17:00

The style is a little bit more than awesome. 


user
Theoden (Level 10 Operative) @ 5/2/2012 15:10

This is great, I recognized your style immediately.


user
Bauske (Level 4 Deputy) @ 5/2/2012 15:06

I'm favoriting this piece because it's amazing, but also because of Tamagotchis <3


user
ellie-is (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 5/2/2012 13:51

 Really great, man. Reminds me of mother and scribblenauts more than Scott Pilgrim, but it's wonderful.


user
Benjiro (Level 8 Shodan) @ 5/2/2012 12:32

Scott Pilgrim a full. muy bueno igual. me encanta. gran trabajo


user
Sanfrouah (Level 3 Hatchikyu) @ 5/2/2012 12:21

It really looks like Scott Pilgrim and it was your goal. So great job! I love it.


user
hahnt (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 5/2/2012 12:06

very very awesome, you did a great job imitating the sp style, one of the better games on xbla and psn and if i didnt know better id have guessed this was an unfinished level or upcoming dlc or something, great job!


user
Rines (Level 1 Rookie) @ 5/2/2012 11:59

I have only question, what happened with the buildning? Otherwise awsome job.


user
jellybeanfish (Level 4 Button Man) @ 5/2/2012 10:48

 Very cool! The perspective on the 'underground' part throws me off a little, I don't know why. Probably just me. The line style and colors (mostly on the trees) actually made me think Scribblenauts first, haha.

I have a lot of respect for anyone who can make a very variety filled city - it's always been extremely hard for me. I love the work on the windows and the subtle textures of bricks and etc.


user
vampireslug (Level 5 Detective) @ 5/2/2012 10:02

I love the palette and the design, awesome job!


user
Voltali obscur (Level 9 Boss) @ 5/2/2012 09:36

Poor tamagotchi store...

I like this style very much, especially on the buildings (the darkest one, with details like the corners of the bricks <3)


user
jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) @ 5/2/2012 09:13

Terrific!!!


user
CPearson (Level 4 Murderer) @ 5/2/2012 09:07

Absolutely beautiful, might benefit from some AA here and there. I guess it might be a stylistic preference to leave it out though.


user
Retronator (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 5/2/2012 08:46

Love the drawing-like style of it. Reminds me of some old games. 


user
lolalol (Level 1 Rookie) @ 5/2/2012 08:43

 wow, really nice. love the palette


user
sandrowski (Level 1 Depressed) @ 5/2/2012 07:46

fave it!

verrrry kewl pik!


user
st0ven (Level 2 Dealer) @ 5/2/2012 07:38

i could immediately tell the influence. and i like your take on it. i find the palette/time of day particularly interesting and rather well done. some of the values you are using in certain places are probably a little too subtle, and if anything id make the rocks appear darker as they went down, not brighter. otherwise lovely piece.


user
8BitBeard (Level 4 Shichikyu) @ 5/2/2012 06:40

 oh man I love it


user
ParkerBabyDiaperCompany (Level 2 King Checker) @ 5/2/2012 06:19

this is cool as a mule


user
Lehmure (Level 3 Chupacabra) @ 5/2/2012 06:13

 Hail, that is a great job and remember me a great game of Nintendo DS. :D


user
snowk (Level 7 Mass Murderer) @ 5/2/2012 06:01

 Bleh I'm such a sucker for this style! You should add some more contrast to those tree trunks, beucase they are kida lost.   Great job otherwise!


user
Mille (Level 7 Mass Murderer) @ 5/2/2012 05:08

Great atmosphere, simple yet full of lovely details. Hat off.


user
Papermoon (Level 4 Button Man) @ 5/2/2012 04:22

Interesting ^^


user
ianlennonford (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 5/2/2012 04:07

very cool.  Reminds me a bit of Klasky Csupo stuff.


user
Chrispy (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 5/2/2012 03:47

Reminds me of the scott pilgrim game, although if the pixelling looked more like this it would've been much better. Good job.


user
schrumpfkopf (Level 4 Team Leader) @ 5/2/2012 03:34

I'd fav that twice if I could.


user
Calv (Level 7 Assassin) @ 5/2/2012 03:31

Nice style


user
Adam (Level 9 Human) @ 5/2/2012 00:54

Charming lineart and great colours (might be a bit too dark though). You managed to add style with those jaggies.


user
failureboy (Level 7 Assassin) @ 5/1/2012 23:36

Yeah that's too many colors.

I do like the look of this, though.  The colors and style are very unique. 


user
Revolver1 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 5/1/2012 22:47

i wouldn't mind seeing the other tiles that you were working on, even if they're just more storefronts. i can definitely see the paul robertson/scott pilgrim sprite art influence in this. are you working on character sprites too?

Nevermind, just noticed the character sprites in your gallery.


user
Losm (Level 7 Mass Murderer) @ 5/1/2012 20:28

 19375 colours is a lot of colours. Something clearly went wrong when you uploaded or saved this.
