Everything REXPaint / Re: Show off your REXPAINT creations
« on: October 27, 2017, 08:30:20 AM »
Hey MrStimpson, thanks for dropping them here! I honestly just think they're pretty great for having just started.

In the second one I can see the text and borders being darkened though, especially since it overpowers the dark map (even without the map, pure white on black is kinda hard on the eyes!). And in that one those doors (?) are an unusual glyph choice. At best maybe use those for windows, and try something else for doors.

I love the atmosphere and flow/layout of the last one!

Thanks for the input and compliment, Kyzrati. I agree that the white on black was too much, so I darkened it up in the next pass and rearranged some of the map/UI elements to better reflect the direction I want to go with the project. As for the doors; I played around with the idea of using something else for them, but I just kept coming back to that glyph because it felt intuitive for me. Especially with the filled version being used for a shut/locked door. Not sure if it's intuitive enough for other people, so you may be right on it being an issue!

Here's a more "finalized" version of a world map.



I may start a small WIP post in this forum to store my project's work if that's ok? There are some very talented and helpful people here so it would be awesome to have my pieces presented in a place where they can be smashed to bits if need be.

First time poster here. I've only recently started playing around with REXPaint and ASCII in general, but I like the medium and am having fun playing with the tool. Here are my first few pieces in order of creation.

House in the Ravine


Shadows in the Dark


Mock Map


Please let me know what you think. Brutal honestly appreciated!
