A little help with my roofing style tiling?
So I applied shading to the right side thanks for pointing that out. It looks more defined now.
I have to ask why you say the lower one looks better though? I doesn't really go well with the 1:1 ratio found in 3/4 perspective does it?
Here is what I mean:
The roof looks in proportion here because it is approximately 1:1 ratio with the brick tile. Now I could make the brick tile smaller, but I'm going for a taller look to my game than the normal rpg maker style. Something that is closer to the Mack tileset style and characters is what I'm after/using.
You can see in the above image that the roof appears much smaller and thus not in proportion to the actual size of the building.
I could try to combine the two styles like in the above image, but I feel that the result is not very good.
Any ideas here, cause I'm at a loss. :(
Also sorry if I'm appearing difficult, I'm just very confused about this part and want to get it right before I move on to other aspects.

I'll keep trying and eventually get it right. I could really use some feedback on these two different angles though.

This is my latest try at getting the style of roof to work for me. It's a different test project I made to test out the changes to the tileset.

Am I the only one who thinks the pathway from where the building starts to the door is too short? It appears to be shorter than the roof on the sides.
The middle part needs to be more tile further in the back.
Yeah I was actually just thinking that earlier I am working at transitioning it a bit better.

So do you guys think it looks better like this then?
The reason I was doing it that way is that in the screenshot topic when I had posted something similar to that, Liberty told me it looked like the roof was climbing the wall and to look into the Mack tileset which I did.
They use angles like this example picture:
I outlined it in pink so you can see that it clearly does not match the front. Sorry for being so noob but what am I doing wrong here?

I hope this is the correct place for this thread. I'm trying not to clutter up the screenshot topic with my posts about this. I was told there are some very good pixel artists over in this forum that might be able to give me some direction or help with my project. :)
Here is my problem I'm attempting to make my own diaganol roofing style tileset to for my towns/buildings. So primarily I'm working with tileset A3 and C.
I am really new and inexperienced so I am not sure exactly what is good practice and what is bad in creating these types of tiles. Below is a relevant screenshot of the example building I have so far. (please ignore lack of shadows I'm working on those at the moment lol).

The Screenshot Topic Returns
I apologize, if I disturbed you guys by posting too many screenshots in here.
Liberty, I have looked in the "Mack" tileset you mentioned. I found numerous example images and even the tileset on this forum for download. So I downloaded that and am trying to make the tiles fit more exactly to the back of the roof (straight part), but I can't seem to make it work like in the examples.
Any hints tips on making a tileset like this?

The Screenshot Topic Returns
I wasn't aware we were allowed to make threads for our own games. I thought we were restricted to posting about it in certain areas of the forums. This is the one I was directed to when I joined. Sorry if I'm upsetting anyone, I'm new and just trying to get feedback. :(
The Screenshot Topic Returns
Ok so I've done some more work on my project, and I'm having alot of difficulty with the rooftop. I've tried numerous iterations of shingle patterns and remade them until I'm blue in the face. Some examples of what I've tried:
In the first pic there I'm getting this banding effect going around the roof that I don't want because I can't get it to tile seamlessly (which is a shame because I really kind of like the shingle that I made there).
The second one I've eliminated the banding but the side shingles now don't look right or (they look fakeish).
My general method thus far is to make an 8 x 8 frame for the initial shingle, drawing in the shingle pattern I want and then drawing an 8x8 frame diagonally and approximating the pattern i put on the first one.
Bellow are the two relevant tilesheets if anyone would tell me what it is I'm doing wrong I'd be very appreciative.
Ok major update, I've managed to fix alot of the issues I've had with the roof and added a frame to the edges. I dunno how I feel about the overall look though, somethings still not right maybe? What do you guys think.
