 Based on the old mockup I did, kind of wanted to see how much I improved :)

-Used my new color palette that's still not finished since I only choose 3 complete (shadows/highlights) colors (red/green/blue)

 I'm with Joe a bit here. I'd add a little more contrast to the foreground. Otherwise this is quite moody and charming.


user

Very nice! I like the scene, but the colorchoice in the different layers of the background creates a somewhat flat sensation.


user
Ellian (Level 8 Partner) at 10/5/2012 11:20:10 AM

Outline on the sword greatly increased readability!

And well, same comment as RedKnight, what I meant is that it looked flat. :)
If you don't want them to look to close, you could have the grass pop out down, instead of up, maybe?


user
Stava (Level 3 Private Eye) at 10/5/2012 1:14:03 AM

 ohhhh on this one I was planing to add that in the BG like the one next to barrel to left (except I'd add more of those, on the piece I was just showing one of each different objects I was thinking of putting in),

I didn't want the mockups to have too much alike since the colors are already same :)


user
RedKnight91 (Level 1 Seaman) at 10/5/2012 12:54:15 AM

 Your other piece is a perfect example of what I meant, 3D grass, with blades of grass popping out of the terrain! : )


user
Stava (Level 3 Private Eye) at 10/5/2012 12:50:31 AM

 @Ellian  I could do earth something like I've done on this piece perhaps? http://i.imgur.com/AuWQy.png

but since I posted the piece already in my gallery, I wanted them to differ xD

 

Added the outline to grass :)

 

Hopefully the full outline made the sword more readable :)


user
Stava (Level 3 Private Eye) at 10/5/2012 12:48:48 AM

 Thanks everybody :)

@Redknight91 I made a edit following your and Ellians critique, I'm not sure if I understood what was the issue with the grass, but I think it's same as Ellian stated? I fixed it (added outline) :)

The tree, I made the roundish silhouette on purpose, to make it less serious and realistic.. So I'm keeping the tree the way it is


user
showtime (Level 5 Soldier) at 10/4/2012 8:09:32 PM

Awesome clouds!  And the roundish silhouette of the tree doesn't bug me at all, but maybe that's just me.


user

The tree looks spectacular, amazing.

Good touch up on the tree.


user
Ellian (Level 8 Partner) at 10/4/2012 2:18:45 AM

That's quite an improvement... looks lovely.

Although the earth looks slightly off compared to eveyrthing else, and the grass is the only thing in the whole piece that lacks an outline. Also, the sword is barely readable too.

Clouds are really wonderful, and the trunks of that tree is really well made.


user
RedKnight91 (Level 1 Seaman) at 10/4/2012 2:07:02 AM

 Awesome palette!!!! I love this, but some thing are bothering me!

The tree is awesome (expecially the trunk), but the outline of the leaves is too circled to be natural, a tree should have a silhouette made by the points of the leaves sticking out, like this http://cdn.planetminecraft.com/files/resource_media/screenshot/1218/Tree_2166149.jpg

Another thing is the ground. It looks good, but it's a bit flat, couldn't you add 1px to make the tallest blades of grass look more 3D-ish?


user
Jigxor (Level 1 Rookie) at 10/4/2012 12:58:39 AM

Looks fantastic!


user
Dyl (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 10/4/2012 12:22:19 AM

Awesome, looks much better!


user
Stava (Level 3 Private Eye) at 10/3/2012 11:37:48 PM

 The styles are fairy different, only the idea and design are same.. 

I don't think the tree is pillow shaded, but it does need more work (it wasn't even finished when I posted it), I updated it with some corrections on the shape :)

I think the old palette suits the style more. The tree leaves appear to be pillow shaded. :\


user
RileyFiery (Level 6 SWAT) at 10/3/2012 7:26:05 PM

I love those clouds so much. It's also a really nice improvement over the older version. Nice skill change you got there.
