New Stone Path Tile

Post by musketaquid »

I'm working on a stone path tile.
As you can see, this tile fits more the elvish castle.

Before i go on for some more variations and transitions tell me what you think, what should be polished.

It looks too bright, perhaps some shading would fix it.

The perspective doesn't look quite right, it looks like it's viewed from higher angle than the Wesnoth standard (compare to the old road). Scaling down vertically would help. Also, I would make the seams between the tiles slightly narrower.

Yes, Squash it 50% vertically.

how about using it for elvish castle non-keep tiles? the current ones look bad (too grass-like and too visible tiles).

No. The current ones are perfect.

So much feedback! Very nice :)

Beware, this is tile is not seamless.
I only want to know if the direction i'm going is correct.
I squashed it about 50% and shaded it a bit.

To me it looks better now, compared to the former it has some perspective and do not look flat anymore. If you agree, then i'll keep working making it seamless and on some variations with and without bunches of grass.

Don't get the idea to mention, that the tile is not seamless anymore. I know it is not!

I like it. Personally I think this would work better as the floor of the elven castle.

I like it but it almost seems a little too green. It is like there is some thin green liquid lying above the stones. I would prefer it if the stones were less green and more greyish( or possibly white) and the green was limited more to the spaces between the stones and possibly th bottom portions of the stones (for plants growing up between the stones).

I agree about the chlorophyll overload. Desaturate some, but keep the weeds in the cracks.
