Isometric pixel building. Need Ideas, C/C etc. Updated

[Grim_Jokes]

Hiya,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I could use some advice on what to put on the walls to make the building more..warrior like?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I will be drawing more as time goes on so any help will be greatly appriciated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks.

Maybe make the tiles darkred, instead of blue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Bigger stones, so they dont look like bricks,

 

 

 

-No Brown, and smaller windows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The shading on the tiles are looking good though. :

Doesn't look very pixelish to me....looks like some other program. But, if it is OMG :shock: YOu've got a few stray pixels on the towers and the shadows are a bit odd (no crennalations in the shadows). If you want the walls to be more 'warrior-like' I would suggest you make them thicker and give the towers arrow slits.

Thanks guys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, Imhomer, it is pixel. I used the Gimp 2. I used the pencil tool to detail and what-not. So I would think it is pixel. I could be wrong. Took some time to make too.

its good but u need to work on a lil better shading

 

 

 

make it more gradual and give it the right shape

 

 

 

look below

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ok this is a really rougth example

 

 

 

the second one shows how the shading on the cone takes shape

 

 

 

though it should be more gradual

 

 

 

i was a lil busy so whipped this up in 2 minutes just to show u the right method of how cones are shaded

 

 

 

the first one shows how u have shaded on the top left and bottom left cones

 

 

 

that gives them a blockish shape

 

 

 

anyway i hope u get my point

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

edit :

 

 

 

to make it more warrior like first add some torn flags and stuff around

 

 

 

and if the warriors a good guy, keep the same color, if hes a bad guy make it a lil more dark colored ( black, grey, etc ) to add to the creepy feeling.

 

 

 

and coz its isometric add more stuff around, enlarge the canvas and add things of war like a weapon room, maybe a range training area, etc

Nothing screams war like skulls on pikes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some mangonels would be a good addition, as well as a few ballistae.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get rid of the roofs and instead covert the tops of buildings to firing platforms for artillery and archers. Run crenellations along any exposed raised area people would be able to stand and shoot from.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also consider adding a barbican, which is a fortified gatehouse that, when breached, can be used as a chokepoint to pour arrows and boiling oil onto enemies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reduce any and all windows to arrow slits. You're holed up in a castle because people are shooting at you, not because you want to enjoy the view.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Search for castles on Google or Wikipedia and look at the design features they incorporate, such as buttressed walls and sloped plinths.

It's been a while but I've been busy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tried using black rather than red. :)

 

 

 

I still have to shade the walls. :)

 

 

 

Oh, and this is meant to be more of a 'Warrior's Guild' rather then just a castle.

*cough*look on runescape castles*cough*

the transition to shadow from light seems too sudden, and its too veritcal.

Hmm, how many shades of a colour would you recommend I should use for the transition?

[WeeBoab]

as many as it takes

 

 

 

id suggest making it flow with the top slightly ( the towers )

[Grim_Jokes]

Updated. It looks better, if I do say so myself. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[destro3979]

hello tip.it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

try using that as a refrence pic, it shows what you lack.

[Wisp]

it looks ok so far, but it needs the changes suggested previously.
