Some terrain work...
Some terrain work I experimented with some free time and had to do some little research about how the TMP works. It took me about 30-40 minutes to wip some good results. Anyway taking advantage of the TMP Studio's cropping feature lead me to making a template on making my work quicker.
Other than that, I feel it looks too flat compared to Westwood's terrain IMO.
If you have any advices that would help me improve will have my thanks
just got to work on the sand/water transition and some cliffs to complete the palette conversion with PNG-to-SHP.

Actually if you know what you're doing paint can actually yield good results, however in Roach's case I'd suggest the GIMP or photoshop. _________________

It's not better, just less bad.... It looks alike just blured. However, this is a step in the right direction! _________________ This is a signature QUICK_EDIT
the darker grass needs some blending and varying in hues and tone...it just looks like one uniform color spray painted in squares, =/ very unconvincing as grass
. the rest is ok. but add in some variation of tones and shadows.
Look up tutorials on pixel art for lighting and shading techinques. this will help you in being able to shade in details. _________________ Delirium.. QUICK_EDIT
Na, people are just unhelpfull People wants to make new mods, and no one wants to help them, so people are forced to learn how to make stuff on their own. QUICK_EDIT

Thanks Ickus, I'll do some research into that.
@AntiHero: any help and tips is appreciated, I just reinstalled Photoshop CS3 yesterday. Unfortunately my internet connection is so bad I can't even sign in on MSN and PPM lately. I'll PM you when things are getting better.
On a side note I won't be active for a day or two. _________________

Gamingroach, try using textures from games like Quake, or google search. Personally, I've done all of my terrain using Quake II terrain textures and GIMP to make the transitions/variations. _________________ YR modder/artist, DOOM mapper, aka evanb90

Don't rip stuff from games use legitimate sources! One can easily find stock and royalty free images roaming those tubes. There some sites that have nice, free hi-res images you may use, depending on their ToS. _________________ Delirium.. QUICK_EDIT

Or do it the Dutchy way: grab a random pic from the net with a matching colour for you terrain, fire up both PS and your TMP program, and c/p small parts of the pic into PS, edit them, en c/p into you TMP program QUICK_EDIT
