Haha, sure. I gave you a few tips for the planks back on page 1. Check it out if you're having trouble. I think it's about time I started to work on my pixel art skills, so I'm gonna start making a pack. I think I'll announce it when it's mostly finished terrain.png.
Mwahahaha.... I shall see to it...
Oh, and seeing as I feel like making ym own pack, it seems to be working out real well. Just hit me with a PM if you wanna see some of my textures for ideas. You MAY want to start working with 1.8 terrain.png tho. When you're ready ^^
If you need any tips or suggestions, just let me know ^^
New wool! Sorry for not working on it for the pass two days, I just started school so It will be alot harder to me working on this pack like I started.
First of all, format your opening post and keep all your screenshots posted in it. Nothing good is going to come from having to scroll through 400 images per page.
Also, try to use spoiler tags to keep them neat and tidy so peoples browsers don't commit suicide trying to load the topic.
As for your textures. Well you say you aren't going for simple, but they seem pretty basic without much thought process put into them [like all your Ores look identical].
I'm also not a huge fan of your Mossy Cobble. It's got this.... weird... Alien Vibe to it. Like the "Moss" are veins coursing with green Plasma lol.
For stone. I am not a huge fan because I can see patterns forming in your blocks and this sort of thing becomes very noticable in game while mining.
Your wools... Look like coloured stone to be honest. They look really far from what Wool looks like it lol.
Love the design on your glass. Beats mine since I couldn't think of anything lol
Your dirt looks.. like you just took a paint brush and just scribbled on the side of it. Looks uneven and sort of out of place
Your ice... I wasn't sure what it was at first. Looks really unnatural and doesnt seem like it fits in with the pack
Your snow also looks sort of out of place and odd. Again, looks like you just drew on it with a paint brush.
Your grass also seems to have tiling issues.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem like you have any real idea of theme going for your pack. None of your stuff seems to at all go together. Some stuff is darker, some stuff is lighter. Some stuff has details, some stuff has no detail. Some stuff seems more blended, some seem like it wasn't even attempted at being blended.
I'd suggest putting some time into thinking of an idea or theme to make with your pack. It took me weeks to even come up with my idea, and even then that came from a complete accident and failure at another pack.

Well, that was rough.. :mellow.gif:
I am putting all the pictures in spoiler tags now, I just post the new comments because I want to bump the topic so it will not die.
It is my first texture pack, and as the title says, it's a very early alpha, so nothing is permenant now.
I am working with vexx32 about it (He is giving me tips, not doing textures) so it will take more then two months to complete this pack (atleast).
The wool is just an idea that popped to my head so I wanted to make it, again, not the finished product.

Sorry if I sounded harsh. I'v yet to sleep and everything I type seems to come out worse than I mean it too.
But the main problem is all of your textures seem all over the place. Now if you took each one and added it to it's own theme, they'd probably turn out nice. But one thing you should really try to aim for is consistency with your textures :smile.gif:. Aim to make them all a darker colour, or brighter colour. Aim to try to add the same sort of effects as often as possible
[an example is mine. I am going with a theme of Blurring. So what I do is start with a base colour for my texture. I then make a layer, and add some detail into the base texture. I then make another layer to add more detail, so on and so forth until the final layer which usually has the more definitive textures. Such as my ores :smile.gif:]
One you find that "theme", everything becomes alot easier to do :smile.gif:
I recommend either a Relistic or RPG theme for this pack. Once you decide, you can start making everything look like it fits
If you do Realistic, most textures will look better with a Noise filter of about 2% or so.
BTW, love your avatar, e7TopHat xD
Namro, I recommend you work out what you want your cobblestone to look like, do what you can to make it a bit more definitive (it looks a bit like you weren't too sure with what you wanted it to be) and then go back and do the mossy cobblestone, using deeper, richer greens and not so much bright green. Looks like alien blood :biggrin.gif:
Unless of course you want to have alien (or Zombie) blood on your Mossy Cobble :wink.gif:
Ah, and it would be a good idea to go over the OP and add some titles and spoilers for the images in it. That way, the images don't have to be loaded all at once. trust me, it helps ^^
Oh, and e7TopHat? Any tips for Dirt and Grass? I'm not sure how to make them look good. Dirt always comes out looking odd, although it's not too bad atm... but it's always hard to make ti look good :sad.gif:
EDIT: Nvm. I got it looking good :smile.gif:
I'm working on mah ores atm ^^
I have way too many things right now, so when I have the time to continue this I will, but if I don't have time I guess I'll just give it away to the public.... Wish me luck! :smile.gif:
A little bump to let people know. Thanks for everyone who supported me so far. People who want to contact me about making the mobs and gui, a private message will be great.
