Yap, i like to make a tileset, but it's very hard to make a nice tileset. I have that picture from JCS help, i have that picture from this and from that, but can someone give my tips about making tilesets?

It's not only for me. I think everyone can use tileset-tipz.

If you draw a yellow block, you can ect. draw a border around it with a darker yellow, it does it look more profission.
For computer animation, I would preffer UFX, that you can download free here.
Step 1: New image, set size to 32x32, that's a single tile.
Step 2: Go in generator, choose a style and make it.
Step 3: Now spiff it up via transform, make it different
Step 4: Go in colors, and change color to something cool.
Step 5: Now go to the last menu, and take stampless tile.
Step 6: You now made a good tile, copy and paste, if your pattle isen't build for it, it can loose some of it's quality.

The only way to make tilesets look good is to spend endless work and effort on them.

You answer yer quistion. Lol.

Yup, i know... but i wnat some TIPS for it!

If you want a simple but overall nice tileset, for example if its a snow/winter tileset:

1.on the top of the tiles do straight lines like this ________one pixel high, when you finish with that line do the next line a slightly diffirent shade of the same colour and so on.
If you want to make a really good tileset you may very well have to spend lots of time making it and put alot more effort on it.

2.You could use some textures your drawing program (I am not very skilled in this area though so I cant help you with this).
Or you could do every, or most of the pixles in a single tile a diffirent color or shade.

To add a tube, follow 1 for example: start with a very light colour then go to a very dark color then start going lighter again, however it takes alot of colors to do this if you want a good one.

I am no expert at textured backgrounds and I dont rip other other peoples backgrounds or Epics either.
