Was inspired by Castles, by Dessgeega, so I decided to do a Silhouetted level known as Foreverland. The concept is to make a huge playground level while sticking to a very small file size, but in silhouette style. Problem is, I've run dry on ideas for tilesets.
Looking for ideas. I want to do the most with the least I can to upload. I figure two more tilesets, max, maybe a custom Object or two (tho I'm horrible at COs), and absolutly no extra sounds or music (due to large file size). Any clues?
I'm not used to asking for help with something like this, sooo...sorry if I don't sounds very specific.

No need to d tilesets when you can just blacken already existing tiles.
Otherwise I got some oldies..

Thought about that, but I'm wary of it. Mainly because I want to do the most with the least, so each tileset has to last many MANY screens, while still maintaining a sense of unique location, else it'll be bland or, worse of all, boring.
9_9 Anyway, a good example is stock tileset 83, which I'm using to add flavor to an underground area. Actually, there's quite a bit of mixing I can do with the...um...four or five silhouetted tileset already there. Oddly. I just crave more.

hey grim, i can make you a C/o of your tileset, i can make the juni statue blink and move a little bit

>_> Sure, as long as you share with me. :P2 I wanna use that.

This might just be me, but I think the semi-alpha areas in your tileset look really bad, probably because they don't fit the style of everything else. (Also, using the full alpha channel is going to increase the filesize a lot.)
Anyway, if you want to cram a lot of potential into few tiles, go with stuff like the pipe things in Elder's first tileset. Multipurpose stuff like that, basically, and using that drawing style can make a two-color tileset look a lot fancier.

The semi-Alpha thing I would not normally agree with you on, except I started making the level, and yeah, it looks pretty lousy.
What's this about Elder's First tileset?
Edit: Oh, yeah. Elder's tilesets. You'll have to excuse me fore I am intensely stupid.

Lol, if you make it, do you really have to ask if you use it?
