Description The second draft. I'm calling this one a tileset instead of an N-art, in the hopes that some kind soul will use it in a level... anyway, enjoy!
please rate, comment, demo, use, credit, abuse, all that stuff.

map.

for you: http://numa.notdot.net/map/98527
peace, man.

Always peace, man

And don't consider my comments negative. It's just difference of opinion/taste, that's all.

topolord is my hero

I have to say, I value both of your opinions very much, and @ ATOB: No, I do not need to grow up. There is very little that could make me. All I need to do is grow as a mapmaker. I guess My "beef" with you, astheoceansblue, lies only in the fact that you describe it as sort of amateurish, mediocre, perhaps average, then go and give it a 1.5... which to me is an abominal rating for one of my maps... I want people to enjoy my stuff, you know? That kind of feedback tells me something is drastically wrong with what I'm doing, but then your comment doesn't really put that across to me. I thought when I made this that is sort of had that "topolord" tileset style... albeit highly untrained and not very detailed, but encapturing that sort of minimal, tiles/art kind of look... I was very proud of it and I guess I was just hurt at such a profoundly... hurtful comment from a great mapmaker such as yourself...

I ramble on and on. :P

peace?

Also, to clarify:

I never professed my tilesets to be greater in any way.

The mention of winning contests was merely to show my experience with them and that because of that my opinion may be worth something here.

Elitist?

The very fact that you agree with right of opinion dispels this entirely.

And unfortunately, there is always a standard of comparison when it comes to design. To deny that is both foolish and ignorant. There is no argument against this, no matter how hard you try to convince that there is.
I find the form of this tileset to be rather interesting and unique. It doesn't merely copy its subject, it takes it and changes it into something different. Of course, it would be unusable as a tileset, but the aesthetic value is not to be ignored.

further more, To call this 'amateurish' is both elitist and un-true. It implies that there is a universal standard against which tilesets are places to which this level has, somehow, fallen short of, and other tilesets, including yours, which you mention in your second post, have surpassed. This idea unfairly disregards the unique values of different tilesets, by standardizing the system by which they are judged. To call it 'ugly' is, of course, entirely your opinion, and is incontestable.

To be fair however, you are perfectly entitled to say what you think.
not you. Take that crit well and grow with it, I didn't say you were shit and utterly incapable.

Also, I have quite a few tile set arts, both worked into levels and stand alone. Two of which helped me win the first tileset madness contest. Have a look though my maps if you can be arsed.

To reiterate: it was nothing personal, there was never any mention of 'hate' and you most likely need to grow up.
And were I to take your comments personally, you would be calling me an amateur, and ugly.
I don't know that you're one to talk... with your influence, I would not expect you to be a stickler, but whatever. I'm not getting into this again. I appreciate your time.

wow

you
are
full
of
hate
...
I guess.
*examines ATOB's dark aura*

1.5/5

It only looks like its intended form because the title prompts our imaginations. Alone it's amateurish and slightly ugly.

I have no idea why people love this so much.

hahaha!

sniped!


comic I just saw. XD
