I just wanted to try making 8x8 pixel art, and I now know that it's really not that great. There's a lot less room to work with and the outcome is less attractive. I'll stick to making 16x16 stuff, any ideas for another tile? I might do some type of stone but I'm not sure what yet.
I think I might be able to flip my dirt tiles, but it might look weird so I'll just create another one. Will it look really weird if its a totally different tile, or should I have it look the same just with minor differences like shadeing (maybe move one of the bumbs up or down a bit)?
Sorry for not responding the last 2 weeks, I have had tons of stuff to do. I worked on a couple more tiles for the 8x8 set. I get what you mean now about tileing it and I can kind of do it now that I have the dirt tiles.
So I made a dirt tile and an edge for the grass, but I haven't made an edge for the dirt yet, so there is a gap on the far left of the picture with all of the tiles. I noticed that the dirt tile looks kinda repetitive, how could I fix that?
So I wanted to try (as a challenge) making a lower res (8x8) tile of the same kind of grassy theme. I want to keep making more so I can practice getting them to look and feel more naturaly, like yours. You might have to zoom in a bit to actually see these, but they turned out ok and I'm still working on the edge peice. I just wanted to see what you thought about them so far.
I made a new version, and here is a comparison of what Sharm made (on top) and what I made (on bottom). I zoomed in and noticed that you changed the shaow of the green leaves (the top part) to be more varied and less of just a single shape (which makes it look more like a natural shadow). Is there a teqnique to doing this?
All this feedback really helped me! I will work on the improved tile later with the tips from Sharm and Bart. I will be quite active in the future because I am trying to make a nice, origional tile set, so would all of you be willing to give me feedback on this topic, or a new one (As I post new pictures and tiles)? I'm not sure what the rules are on this forum, but if anyone knows if there is a time limit to each topic that would be great to know!
I actually left a line of pixels on the top just in case i wanted to add anything :D is there anything else that you think could be changed to make it look better? BTW heres the updated version

What do you mean tile them together into a 16x16? Do you mean scale it up so that it fits 16x16?

Aaahhhh I get it now!
I'll get working on some new tiles to post, and thanks for moving the thread!
That sounds great! Can you post a link to it once you move it so that everyone can see the new location?
