Jungle Ruins was a good pack, and yeah it did bring in a sorta new style.
Anyways, did anyone even see my screenshots?? :sad.gif:
So far my pack looks kind of similar to Eld's pack I think.
Also, Leo, That doesn't really look like dirt. It seems too random, no actual shapes.
I replied to one of your earlier screenshots, and the new stuff looks fantastic as well. :3
Dirt in many packs does not have "real shapes", most of the default look-alikes for example.
Edit: Also made some stone, but it's a bit terrible too. :/
I hate tiling, probably because I'm terrible at it, lol.
Just a tip; When creating blocks that are supposed to tile well (Blocks that are found alot, such as wood, planks, stone, dirt, grass ETC), don't have very obvious repeating patterns. In this picture I can see a clear, sloppy ''V'' shape in every block, that repeats itself. Try reducing that shape and create a somewhat similar pattern the rest of your block has. Alternatively, you can take the rest of the block and try to recreate the V shape many times.
Leo, you would be surprised (apparently), but default dirt has shapes. Small, but they are definitely shapes if you look at them from a distance. That's also the style I went for with my dirt, and I think I pulled it off nicely.
Thanks steel, didn't even notice your other reply! :smile.gif:
Also, I'm not as good on 16x pixel-art texturing as I was before, here's a dirt tile I made (tiled 4x4).Edit: Y U double post? D: I thought that if you made a post after your last on it would just become an edit of the old one. :L

I have to agree, those are not that great.

Blam, didn't have much time today cos my parents just got back from Japan, buuuuuuut:
Not sure about the yellow flowers, I might have to redo them or at least tweak them a lot.
EDIT: Next up will be stone bricks, birch trees and crafting table. Then it's doors.
PS: Thanks for getting rid of the time limit, Feathers!
EDIT 2: Hey feathers, how many colours are allowed for each part of the chest? I have a great idea for it but I don't think it will work with the colour limitations. (I need to have metal on wood)
So how does the exception work for chests?
That is delicious and if you finish it properly I will use it as my primary pack. Good luck. Also, Strdr, your stuff is looking awesome. I think this contest is going to produce some very quality packs. I really need to get going on mine.
Lookin' Good!
I think you should either desaturate the grass a little or saturate the dirt. The grass is nice and vibrant and the dirt is kinda gloomy.
I finally got the dirt looking a bit better.
Does anyone have any criticism they'd like to share? :smile.gif:
It's very neat and stylized, like two pillows. Maybe break it up a bit with some more variation so it doesn't look so smooth and slick?
I was going to enter this, but then I saw how epic everyone else's textures were :tongue.gif: The entries look amazing- can't wait to see the results :]

That's what I thought too! You should enter too, it's not surprisingly very fun.
Additionally: Side-grass/dirt.
Left: New with pebbles (took away highlight color for pebble color. Pebbles aren't the same color=thats a mistake)
Left center: New: no pebbles
Right center: Doku style sidegrass [ kind of (/o_o)/ ]
Right: Old one
Also, Stone! (Need tips)
1) Original dirt, new top grass
2) Original
3) New dirt, original coloring
4) New dirt, half-way between original and orange coloring
5) New dirt, orange coloring
I personally like 3 or 4 but Lilyo says my first one was the best.
Also, I request an extension of a week or so for more time to work on the contest. There are some serious contenders in here and it'd be a shame to see people lose just because they didn't have time during one week to get it done (cough).
I just started this contest, and I was wondering, since it is 5 colors, and Ores have to do with stone, if stone had 5 colors, would that mean you can add 5 more colors for ores? If it is only 5 colors in total, here is what I have so far:

I second this. I know I'm not gonna have enough free time to finish everything this week, so it would be great if we switch the due date to next weekend. Who has 24 free hours in a week? I get home at 6 and usually spend 2 hours doing hw and i'm usually busy or not home during the weekend.

Oh baby, lookin' good!
I'm loving that wooden log texture
Yeah, I have noticed that.

Stone is WIP, it doesn't tile.
Awesome. Reminds me of Wayukian :smile.gif:
I've been working on my planks for like a half an hour, and I cannot for the life of me make the top grass. Also, should I go with nails, or no nails?

Deadline by Christmas: Full Normal Terrain, Plus Winter (Holiday) Alternates.
Galago couldn't have said it better. It would be a shame to see a good 4-5 packs with gigantic potential thrown away because of a short deadline.
