Pixel Joint Forum: Soda machine + desert scene

Message

   Hi, how's it going? This is the first time I've posted - so if I'm breaking any guidelines let me know!

I am intentionally using the blackish outline (#333333) as I'm going for the earthbound/mother 3 style. Also my palette is a bit 'rampy', so open to suggestions.  

1: Soda/candy machine and a train station ticket gate (you know where you scan your ticket to enter the station). 

Scale x4 (which is how it will appear in game)

The game will be rendering over the top with a texture/lighting effects, so I am looking to end up with something like this: (which at the moment is only done in photoshop, but will be live in game)

2: Finally, here is a dessert scene (still a WIP as well) again with original assets and a post rendering. The left is suppose to be day, the right is suppose to be night.

	The level of your work is very professional! I really like the smoothness of gradients: D The main thing is not to far from the noise effects in the shadows, especially in the light - preferably clean uniform color (as things stand out better from the general background) Мне очень нравится плавность градиентов :D Главное не перебарщивай с шумовыми эффектами в тенях и особенно на свету Где предпочтительнее чистые однородные цвета (так лучше выделяются предметы из общего фона)

	The ammount of noise in the soda machines' background is a little too noisy. I know it's just a quick sketch, made with automatic tools, but this is the main reason it's noisy. Anyway, the whole work is great! Can't wait to see more of your pixel-art.

	Hi guys, thanks for the feedback! I'm going to lay off the noise and what not, it's not really needed. I've attached a few more train station items, and am still very open to feedback. A few pieces The pieces, in place
