I worked on this cliffs before, but got bored
(it had grass around, but I removed

)
I know, its like 6 colors or something (didn't count)?

Any comments on my first attempt on cliffs?

ps: it did look better with grass as background instead of white

Magadal · #3 10-06-2006, 01:51 PM

Front looks flat :[

Chompy · #4 10-06-2006, 01:55 PM

I'll try improve

BTW: Anyone know how to get MS Paint back...?
I lost it when I formatted my pc...
If anyone knows, tell?

Rather nice cliffs for a first time cliffer, but I sure hope you will continue to work on the shading and stuff.

Isn't MS Paint part of the Windows OS install? If so, you might be able to find it on the CD.

I think the cliffs wouldn look interesting in an actual level, nice work.

I wanna see bigger.

Chompy · #12 10-06-2006, 08:19 PM

define bigger

(btw for bigger image, click it :P)

and I got some tile errors I gotta fix

BTW: you guys gotta tell me some ideas how to make it less flat

more colors?
shade it? (like shade from one view or shade the sides of the cliffs or something?)
any suggestions?

zephirot · #13 10-06-2006, 08:43 PM

I like them, altough, I prefer the tilesets (Cliffs) we used on BP.

Chompy · #14 10-06-2006, 08:45 PM

hmm, they was too bright and editing those would take horrible long time

It looks like the entire thing is smooth and has no texture at all which isnt normal for a cliff lol. Also the bottom doesnt look right on the grass IMO.

Chompy · #17 10-06-2006, 09:08 PM

hmm, your right, but I don't know how to make it less flat,
like, should I put more colors? shade it? (from one view or on the sides?)

and I'll work on it

Chompy · #18 10-31-2006, 05:15 PM

BUMP!

I almost forgot that I made this thread

I just noticed the cliffs image on my comp, sooo....
well, I tried to add some more colors to it, etc..

I hope it looks better, or is it worser?

(BTW; the squares was for checking tiles, I think it should work much better
in levels then the other one did.)

Magadal · #19 10-31-2006, 05:19 PM

The front still looks flat.

Chompy · #20 10-31-2006, 05:24 PM

hmm, true, I was thinking of adding a shadow,
but hard doing that in MS Paint, since you can't take an
color from the board and edit the RGB of it, only from the
one's existing in that little corner...
Or, is it an way?

I could even put it in shotoshop.. hmm..

konidias · #21 10-31-2006, 05:34 PM

I think you need to give it another point of depth by giving it a darker color for the deepest part of the cliffs. Like this:

But I just rushed and squiggled the line in there and didn't bother with the back side... but you get the idea.

Chompy · #22 11-01-2006, 04:15 PM

The link didn't work :[

Well yeah, your right, I could add an new depth to it..

Hmm, anyone know a tutorial I can use for shading stuff like this?

MrAnonymous_P2P · #23 11-02-2006, 01:49 AM

Just dont Pillow Shade

Draenin · #24 11-02-2006, 02:05 AM

Pillow shading's a newbie term for those who don't know what the hell a color gradient is.

They look pretty good, but try adding some texture to them. The shape is fine but as others said they're too smooth and don't look very cliff-ish.

Keep at it though, its a great start.

He's got a fair amount of experience, within this community, to back it up. However, it was strangely aggressive on his part

You seem to have some tag team thing going on with Infernix.

Mykel · #29 11-02-2006, 05:42 AM

Very...cartoony. I don't think they'd look good with the rest of the default Graal tileset. But it'd be interesting to see a tileset with some kind of general theme such as that.
