1st pic: Rips suck, but meh, it's better than the last one.
2nd pic: Bricks in background should be smaller, it looks like they're in the same place as it is. |

1st: Looks good. Sky could have clouds or something, but good.
2nd: I think it looks good. The two colors do clash, but not so bad it would hurt my eyes. |

SHADING!!!
I do realize you are trying to go with an inside the brick house look. Its just the two colors clash REALLY badly... and the fact that the foreground AND background repeat the same pattern doesnt help. My opinion would be to make the background a back of the house with some windows and stuff thrown in, and make the foreground a little bit... less bricky 
I was commenting on the right pics... just the wrong quote  |

Sorry about my friend there Commando. He is a little late comming to this thread and doesnt know what is going on. Anyway, Skate he is making his own gfx and stuff and were all trying to help him.
Btw, it is a house.. |

Not too bad. The ground looks odd, but I can't exactly tell what it is about it..
What is it? |

Woah. He has gotton a bit better. Well, the darker part up there needs to be a bit lighter, and the green border needs to be brown after is passes the green grass. Mabey that will work. Or mabey it should just be black. JJ is right, it is a little to light a bit.. |

Well, the new cliff sides are actually ripped, and it's possible he just didn't assemble them correctly. It's easily fixed, however, so that's not a big concern. I'm still worried about the bright green borders. It just doesn't work. |

That's better, but, why is the ground darker in the middle? It's light at first, then dark, then light... It doesn't make much sense. |

(About the last screenshots)
1st screenshot:
Much better! Altough I still don't like the green border of the hills. Maybe making the border a darker colour and also making it a pixel or two wider. 
2nd screenshot:
Err.. What is it? (No offense) |

No worries Chris.
I tried to fix some things that the TEK Hacks board and Acmlm board replied about. I hope this solves some problems  |

Id say it would look better if the coloring had some depth to it. Your coloring looks as though a little kid was coloring on a piece of paper. Everything is well... monotone
The grpahics are very good, infact. It just missing something...
Its like, Ice cream. Sure, plain old icecream is good, but adding sprinkles, and chocolate and color to it makes it look (and taste) better.
Bottom line: Put shading on your GFX and they will look better |

I hope I wasnt trying to take things the wrong way here..I do admit that JJ is right, people do start at a place at some point. I guess this is your first hack? Sorry if I have been so mean to you, I didnt think it was your first.
I started out crappy as well.. Im sure people remember, but I continued on and got better.. Somewhat hard work, but you know what I mean. |

Don't listen to Chris, your work shows promise. I recommend you play a TON of SNES platforming games, and take a good hard look at how the tiles look in those games. Maybe try your hard at ripping your own non-Mario graphics and making a good SMW tileset out of them to get a good feel how the pros make their sets work, both in 8x8 and 16x16. We all started somewhere, and heaven knows that my early early stuff was not the most spectacular, and look at me now! |

I was probably rushing |

Then again, you could always use the custom palette. Then you can add even more colors to your gfx and stuff, and make them look really good.
What you showed from those screens is that you were rushing, or either were not trying. So Im saying that you can do better than that. |

Use more colors when drawing your GFX. It doesnt take work to add colors, just takes work to use them. |

How could I throw in more colors? That would be very nice |
