[...] http://www.sciencerecorder.com/news/wp-content/uploads/blackbear1.jpg [...] That is a very good reference, I feel like I really should give it another try.

Re: Tiles that could use improvement

[...]I have no idea what you mean about shading being used for lines.[...] That was a long explanation just to say that one sentence, but it did clarify things a lot. The problem with the adder appears to be that the lighter belly color seems like a highlight, while the real intended shading was do...

Re: Tiles that could use improvement

There seems to be a problem with the black bear. The space in the tileset appears to be not 32x32, but only 30 pixels wide. Huh? So I guess I better remove 2 pixels from the butt of the bear: http://i59.tinypic.com/11l3ds5.png Looks even more fat now, but Winnie the Pooh was also a black bear, so ma...

Re: Tiles that could use improvement

I have kept both outlines and shadows pure black, and outlines are the minimum that is needed to hug the image, and pure black has not been used anywhere inside sprite, so it wouldn't be too difficult to update to some specific cast shadow policy.

Re: Tiles that could use improvement

Bennu: http://i60.tinypic.com/2rc7fd5.png By the way, on some sprites the shading seems to try to take the role of drawing lines (like feature envy in programming) rather than highlights being at the planes that face the light source. Adder is a simple example, added the contrast versions to clarify...

Re: Tiles that could use improvement

Crawl tiles generally have more outlines, a bit more detail, and less "shiny" textures.[...] I can see that, especially now that you mention it. The problem with my tentacle monstrosity as I saw it was cuteness, but there really seems to be more to it. The tentacle thing is supposed to lo...

Re: Tiles that could use improvement

Thanks, I see I didn't pay enough attention to make the thing look like what it was supposed to be. The plastered tentacle on the head was supposed to be its right eyebrow tentacle, and the bumps on the head were supposed to be more tentacles but I smoothed them too much. I wonder why nobody complai...

Re: Tiles that could use improvement

Saw tentacled monstrosity being in need of replacement in the first post of the thread. So I thought I would draw some. http://i61.tinypic.com/2quu3p5.png Looking some more at the game, though, it does not seem to fit in for the intended purpose, and is probably also unusable as any other creature. ...
