OutrageousMac. your emerald ore is good, and original... but i noticed that, with the other ores, the stone was sort of darker around the mineral, and there were cracks in the stone (i dont really know how to describe it.) i have no real artistic talent myself so feel free to ignore me; its just constructive criticism

also, the mineral isnt aligned in the centre. that can definitely be ignored, its just me being OCD about it

Ok, good to hear that, I'll think about assessing it.
I just made the raw emeralds.

Is this better? i think so at least. it is bluer than the original but i think it looks quite nice anyway. i can always make it "less blue" if you want as always files are in the spoiler below:

I made a(n) Emerald Ore. I'll have the Raw Emerald up soon.

It looks like the emeralds are just sitting on top of the block. Perhaps some shading on the gems will help it appear to be sticking out.

It looks like you don't have an enderdragon texture yet. Is this good?

It does seem a little plastic like as Ovo said. Could use a lot of shading.

Would you guys be against it if I put a zip of the redemption pack on my planetminecraft page ? (Along with the link to this thread and of course, mention that it's become a community effort)
It still has a lot of visits so it would be nice to keep up and use that momentum to drive more people to help in the long term.

Wouldn't see a problem with that.

i tryed the emerald block, just re colored the gold block, but i couldn't get the color just right, but here it is anyway.

At least its something right?

It does just look like a remake of the gold ore. Needs some more originality to the new gem.

Edit:

Nice. I think the largest one would look great by itself and slightly enlarged. You also have a stray pixel or two to the left of the middle gem.

Hmmmm.... the emeralds... OutragiousMac's looks like the coal ore, and obviously loardvader's is from the gold ore. I noticed when Google searching that natural emeralds are very crystal like, (column like hexagonal things). If you want to really differentiate it, you could maybe play off from that? Then again, the diamonds aren't exactly as "Crystal" either, but at least the diamond part of the ore has "Sides" to it, somewhat like a crystal would.

I'm jsut brainstorming here, so no need to actually follow what I"m saying. But I hope it gives ideas!

[OutrageousMac]

Pythros, is this better?

Nice skeleton.
The dragon looks too much like plastic Playmobil with these blue edges.

Wow, sure not. Imagine, my first mob texture for a redemption pack was accepted by original author!:]
