snow toilet

Looks excellent to me, Blazefire. Also, I like the name Demonic Desert but doesn't sound too "Sonic like" to me. Either way, I'm excited to see a background soon.

Cool stuff, bro. I'm not sure if I like that the ground just cuts off. Maybe a rounded edge maybe?

I'd assume it's an actual piece of artwork just redone with pixels. EDIT: I stand corrected. Thanks, Chronic.

Nice. I'm excited for a Time Twisted demo with his new designs. @Rael: I like your snow tiles. They seem really busy and different.

It's not like it's that hard to come up with stuff on your own. I've noticed his use/rips of other backgrounds other than from those two members. Also, your pictures of the examples are kind of hard to see. I may just need to get my eyes checked but I can't make them out and bringing it up in Paint and whatnot just makes it blurry. Not to gripe but is there any way to make them a smidge (might not even be a word) bigger? And if you can make them bigger, I'd watermark them if I were you. If not, it's all good under the hood.

Something I noticed is you should have the grass extending inside of the loop and get smaller and curved. Maybe also putting some texture in the loop so it doesn't look like it was cheaply made in paint.

@Hyper Emerson: You could also use Tails head from his life icon and create a body for it.

For those of you who do not know me at all, I'm Snow Toilets and I would like to share with you a topic. So, something I wanted to bring up, I watched the movie Alien 3 for the first time in years and realized that this movie gives me the hibbity gibbities. Especially the candle lighting scene. It's a great film but every time I've seen it I look over both shoulders when doing laundry in my basement probably because that prison looks like every basement I've been in. That strange trumpet sound that they do is the worst. I've been wondering if anyone else has seen a movie and has a fear of something after seeing it no matter how good it is. Anyone?

Yeah, it was apart of SAGE but I don't seem to recall a download. Unless it was just my system that couldn't download it. It literally had no link. There's another one in the works too besides Shadow's Fall. No name though.

Wow, your art looks so cool in the background. I also like your character. I'm excited to see a video soon, brotha.

I've just noticed that a lot of people like to use that climbing sprite from Chaotix. You guys must really like it. I never have. But, whatever floats your boats is fine with me. I found another sprite in the Chaotix sheet that made me think it would have been a better fit and have thought of using it but working around it so it actually looks like he's climbing. The sprite itself is eight rows down and is the last sprite in the row. I think it would look cool. I'm not sure if it was a scrapped look or something but it makes me think of Sonic 3's climbing. If you guys ever feel like doing it, I think it would look better than the normal one.

Maybe a tail movement with blinking and I'd open his mouth with a smile. Also, I'm not sure that I like Knuckles' look. That's just me. Looks cool but...wouldn't you guys want to go with something more original instead of using something from another game that already exists? Once again, that's just me.

Happy birthday, Lake. Have a great day, homes.

Argh, Mr. Squidward! Snow Toilets' palm trunk concept has been ignored 18 times. Bummer. It's all good under the hood. There's not much too it so I probably wouldn't waste the time. No color or design in it. Also, Lake, that looks cool. It reminds me of Seaside Hills checkerboard walls.

I know. I'm working on it though. Just practicing is all and thanks to Blazefire for the tutorial I'm understanding what I did wrong indeed. Something for you guys here. I literally created this in less than a minute out of boredom and decided I like it. It's a working look but I'm going to put in my own creativity. The first thing you guys are going to see of Sonic the Hedgehog: Grand Prix. Here is a palm tree trunk concept design for the first zone of Grand Prix, (Yes, my Green Hill "remake" of sorts) Turquoise Tropics: Pretty nifty, huh? The design I thought of is going to be a few "carvings" within each piece. Two for the big ones and one for the small ones. The top, where the leaves are going to be, will have two carvings as well. In TTZ, there will be normal sized palms and small ones. The small ones are just shorter. Anyone like?

@Blazefire and Serephim: Thanks for the criticism. I'm understanding what to do a little more. Also, there wasn't supposed to be any transparency in it. I'm not sure why a white block isn't behind it. I'll look into fixing the colors and what have you and make less. That tutorial is really helpful, Blazefire. I did like over half the sheet. (It's the Sonic 3 look as I always liked it the most.) I shall return with a better one. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it guys.

OK, so it's been a while but I think I've gotten all shading down. So, give it to me straight. How did I do on the shading. Be honest because I want to learn from my mistakes. I can't wait to show you guys more. Until then, keep it real.

Nope. I haven't played it with Tails yet but I'd assume no all around.

I thought I'd throw this in here too. OK, I managed to collect all the red rings and, haha, nothing happened. Bummer. I did, however, find something interesting in act 1. Here's the screen: Interesting. What is it? Though, I did enjoy finding it.

Looks very excellent. I think a moving boss is really cool in games.

That was one of my favorites. There was also the Glacier Galaxy's boss that amazed me.

Leaf Hills Zone, Falling Colors Zone, Radical Red Zone. There's so many possibilities.

Astounding Autumn Autumn Assault (For those who want to make a Forest/Industrial mix) Frantic Fall Fantastic Fall Final Fall Orange Oasis (Sounds like a winner to me) Using the word Autumn in a Sonic game would be cool. This gives me inspiration to use Awesome Autumn...

I feel the same way but with people using the words "beach", "shore" and "island" for a tropical island zone. I think a good idea is for someone to make a "Wood" zone level with orange, yellow and red leaves and call it something like "Awesome Autumn" zone or something cool like that. A good idea, no? @LH: I was hoping to see that stage in the Level Collab ever since I saw the first shots of it a few months back. I'm looking forward to trying it tonight.

Hmm...no after images that I remember but I was playing it at full screen. That could've been the reason of lag. @Jwiwo: That bug can come in handy with the warp to the special stages. I do like how the Sonic life icon changes to super Sonic too.
