Mockups are only a means to an end, chop those up and make some spritesheets. Then you can brainstorm about what kind of game they'd fit in and what other kind of assets you'd need. Functional graphics are always more valuable than pretty pictures, and even if the games don't get made you'll benefit from the exercise. But those are all very pretty Most of the time they start as spritesheets, and then I get bored because I know no programming, nor can I make player sprites to be a game artist! Thank you for the compliments though :D You should consider learning how to program. Your art is great so if you became decent at programming, I'm pretty sure you would have a blast at making games I started learning java a while back but I didnt understand how I could relate it to making a game. I've completely forgotten it all now! I also have issues trying to actually com up with an idea for a game, other than jsut having pretty tiles. Obviously you should give all your arts to me .. so I can do stuff with them :3

I'm guessing some sort of game where you shoot passing pterodactyls(or whatever they are )? I like the color choice - it goes well with the orange background. Thanks! Yeah, it's going to be kind of a cross between a platformer and a SHMUP, where you run along the ground and shoot at enemies up in the air (who will also drop things down onto you).

Part mockup, part paint-over for Archibald's workshop thread. Still a bit rough, I may come back to this at some point. I was a huge Might and Magic fan back in the day, so it was fun to do.

Haha. I guess I was worried about everything else? I'll fix it when I pick this piece up again. @Code_AssassinThanks!

Something I've been messing around with for the past few days. Some elements were taken from an old pixel picture of mine, just colored in since that one is pure black and white. I might continue making more of this 'game', but it probably won't amount to anything in the end.

This a mockup for an adventure game where you have to build a tower. The main challenge is to balance your emotions to overcome all the doubts and downturns. I wold like it to be driven by the script. For example you need to gather resources to build the tower but the mechanics to do so is not just to click in the trees or the stones. You have to deal through dialogues with NPC. I guess this game would suck because it is about my own experiences with people... And I suck with people. GAD DAMN it no that wouldn't suck, make that game!! that's an excellent mock up. what i love about it most is the shadow of the see-thru guy. it adds a lot of depth not so much to graphics, but to the nature of the character. he's present in the physical realm, but transparent as if no one notices him. that's an excellent use of symbolism.

You really made things pop compared to your original one Well done. I'd like to see this in a game, if possible

It would be cool if you could incorporate the vastness/jumbled feeling of the black and white version into the colored one.

@Code_Assassin: Thanks man, glad you like it. I'd love for it to be a game too, but nothing is set in stone yet, heh.
@Ashkin: Yo, thanks! Yeah, I'll probably develop this game world s'more and add more details to it. Partly why it was more intricate in the earlier one was because I threw away restrictions for the most-part and just added stuff wherever I felt like it.

Nice pixels, but the perspective is different between the house/sign and the holes in the ground(maybe the water, as well). if you can make the close side of the hole less visible I bet it would look awesome!

I'm thinking of flipping the perspective of the hole to make it look like a mound and then removing the top edge (currently the bottom) of dirt completely so that it overlaps the grass behind it.

@Strasteo - Cool mock-up. I like the color / pure black shading mix you've got going. It's a really interesting style.
@matwek - I like the tiles - very well-drawn. Cool colors, as well, though I do agree with dspencer about the perspective, though it's not very noticeable. The grass pattern seems a bit repetitive, though. Maybe you could add another tile (perhaps a more plain one) to switch it up.
@Lightnix - I think there could be a bit more contrast on the objects on-screen, but I think the GUI is too plain and too dark. I like the style of it, though.

Thanks for the feedback! I tried playing around with the palette to increase contrast, made some other changes and jazzed up the the HUD kind of a lot:

Better, but the shiny effect on "HP" kind of hurts its readability. Make sure the contrast is high between the outline and the inside. Also, you might want to color the inside of your inventory slots. I'm not 100% sure, though. Maybe the grass could be darker? It's a bit bright.

Trying out some wall/roof material combos. I had a hard time with the brick colour and it still doesn't look quite right.
