I have returned to the world of pixel art after having left the medium for about 5 years. Here are some of the early tilesets I have started on for this game project. You can see me floundering with a granite-grass tileset, and having a much more successful time with a glacial tileset.
I don't know why getting the granite tileset to look decent has been such a struggle, I've gone through 3 variations of it now and haven't really liked any of them. Though after messing with the glacier tileset for a bit, I am very impressed at how well it came together.
Also is it just me or is there like a weird Clickteam TGF vibe to these screenshots? I think the empty levels, repetitive tiles, and gradient backgrounds are really hammering that in.
