The Screenshot Topic Returns
@Dookie: What exactly do you mean? Should the inner outlines of the trees be simply a darker shade of green? Or do you mean that the whole palette should be lightened to make the outlines more apparent? I'm kind of confused about what "falling flat" means in this case.
Also, I'll try making them extremely dark grey. Thanks for actually giving me a legit reason to experiment with the lines, I've never known about that problem before.

I apologize. I'm just so sick of hearing people tell me this. This is the first time it's happened in years but I swear it came up every time I posted a screenshot back when I was on this site before. It gets tiring and grating after a while.

I have seen pure black in a great many games, so I don't know what you're talking about when you say you're not allowed to use it as a colour. Maybe you are right if talking in the general sense of pixel art where a lot of dithering is used, but the style that Pizza uses eliminates dithering altogether, instead using pure flood fills and two tones for shadows.
Hey guys, this is what happens when you actually act like a human being and try to understand where I'm coming from, instead of a bowl of sewage frothing with the "rules of art".
Actually, it's pretty much a 'rule' in all forms of art to never use black for anything.
Check out this guy. Last time I check purple mountains and pink grass also didn't exist in nature. Holy fuck, it's a game, what do you know? God fucking forbid I have a style that I KNOW doesn't look bad, as I've receive bucket loads of compliments about it over the years and spend quite some time on each tileset making sure it's okay.
Could it be finessed? Hell yes it could, and I took SnowOwls critiques on the sky and the bushes because that's what they were. Me changing the entire way I do something isn't helping anybody.
Maybe I should just steal somebody else's hard work. I'd probably fit in a lot better around here, and hey, maybe I'd even get the most subscribed game?
The black border doesn't matter to me on its own, but the sky pressing against it does. I would actually just make them the same color maybe? Preliminary cuntpasting into MS paint and looking at what happens if I bucket-fill the sky to be jet black suggests that it looks pretty great.
You're right, a black sky does look pretty nice. I need to fuck around with a couple more colours but that's definitely an option. Thanks.

It's just that pure black stands out alot. Or you could just ignore my advice if you're not aiming for perfection, up to you I guess.
Your advice is far from perfection. There's no mysterious rule in spriting that black outlines are a bad idea, if the style of the art is supported by them then they're perfectly fine. The whole point of the black outline is to make the edges stand out in a style not reliant on lots of shading or colours.
If you must know, it's not "Earthbound Style". I draw my main inspiration for spriting from Mother 3. (http://www.spriters-resource.com/fullview/6207/) is the image I use for reference when I'm stuck on how to make something look.
Yeah, the outlines in that game are usually dark grey. Or a darker colour, and not black. Who cares. I use black outlines, and I always have. People have tried to use all this shit on me tons of times over the years, but this is how I do stuff, and it's not really gonna change unless the project dictates it.
Sorry for ranting and shitting up the thread, but I don't like this kind of discussion. It bothered me back then and it still does now, apparently. The style of outlining you're talking about does have merit, and it can look good, as evidenced by Mother 3. It's just not what I do.
A few questions with RPG maker vx
RM2k3 isn't free. The English translations are illegal, as it was never released here.
Yanfly Channel has some scripts that allow visual battlers in VX, but I don't know about making them a different sprite. It's possible, but I wouldn't be able to tell you how to do it.

I think you should drop the black edges, or make them non-black at least (dark green for trees dark pink/purple for ground).
This again. No. The style is designed around black edges, it would look ugly without them.
The sky colour might be changed a little, idk. I'm using a limited colour range for this project, and I use blue/green and pink because they're complimentary colours. The yellow is there simply because it stands out for small details.
I could fix the bush I suppose, but I'm really not worried about perfection with this project. It's meant to be a simple job.

Working on some graphics. Still trying to step up my game a little bit. The character set isn't finished yet, this is only a couple hours of work here.
GRANDIA 3 -- What's with the hate?
I've had a vested interest in playing the Grandia games for quite some time now. Unfortunately I don't have the spare money to grab them off of eBay at the moment, but I remember me and my friends having fun with Grandia 3 when we were younger. We were too stupid to beat the second boss or something, though, so we never got any further than that.
I'll admit, I haven't heard much outright hate for Grandia 3. Just insane, insane praise for Grandia 2. Seems like it was really overshadowed to me.
