[WIP] House tiles

I've been trying to make a nice house, kinda with a elven/wooden feel to it. The only thing I dont really like is the roof.. comments/suggestions?


The blueish was just a test to see how it would look in different color.

I really like those tiles. The only thing that bugs me is I dont think the color of the walls should match the color of the roof tiles.

As far as the graphics quality goes - it's nice, but I don't like the design.

In truth, I adore the roof, I just don't like anything below it.

Choose better colors, lines are fine. But the colors are just throwing the whole look of it off.

Make a version without the pyramid thing on the roof, and make another with the pyramid thing going lower (as in make it bigger).

I agree with Sephiroth though, the roof is awesome...everything below it (excluding the door) is just...meh.

Oh my god, Xzir, dude.

Put some glass panes in place of the shingles, and your house will be the sexiest modern work made in the history of graal.

The roof and the foundation really don't seem to click to well together, it kind of looks like a giant treasure chest; I think that's what the problem is. Also, I think a better choice of color(s) would help it flow better.

Other than that, I'd give it an 8/10. Superb.

On the top of the house it could just be glass windows so you have a sky light, it'd look cool i think and try and use colors that go well with the wood, maybie dark red? It'd look boring but not too loud, noone wants a loud house
