CMS Map chip set

[R-66Y]

Here is a CMS map tileset... it is my first chipset ever, tell me what to work on!!

Thx in advance for any criticism!! So long as it points out flaws!!

[Bluhman]

Work on... err.. less painful colors.

[R-66Y]

What colors should I use?

Thx for the criticism!!

[R-66Y]

Really sorry all for the double post,
but I have new colors, which are better than old, I think!!

First of all, you didn't really change the colours.  You changed the colours of the template, which you don't end up seeing ingame.

Also, those look like MSPaint colours.
NEVER use MSPaint colours.
They will almost always look bad.

You do know how to make your own colours, right?

[R-66Y]

Ok, tell me how to make new colors...

[FFL2and3rocks]

In Paint, doubleclick a color and a window will pop up. Then click "Define Custom Colors".

Slow down there, partner! You wouldn't want to confuse him with all your fast-talkin' city-slicker words, wouldja?

[R-66Y]

Ok, I changed some,  SOME, colors, the ones i thought were ugly anyways...

I also added letters so you can create your own words
...

What else should I work on?

Oh, thanks for the help!!

Shading.

[R-66Y]

Ok...

I am really sorry, but I am new to the computer graphics scenario... and to art! What is shading, and how do you do it?

Kid, the thing you should do is to examine what other people have designed. Learn from what those pieces do and then try them yourself.

Take my Avatar, for example, see how the purple-dressed man in front of the glistening, rotting corpse head is shaded. This will be your first assignment to being a great and wonderful shader person.

Whatevers. :p
