I'm sure if the notorious Dr Kas decided to show his face around here we could all back you up if needed! Nothing like helping out a fellow artist.
In other news: Can't wait for the download! xD
Also, have you re-done the icons as well? I'm very curious to see how you did them! (sorry if I wasn't paying attention and missed them)
I'm planning on redoing the smoothstone entirely, or at least making significant changes to improve how it tiles. It's one of the first textures I made for TTP, and hasn't been significantly changed since then. Same with the dirt. But they're going to change.

I actually meant the icons as in life and armour icons :tongue.gif: but that is some SERIOUSLY nice work on the armour!
Reminds me that I need to make some for my pack...
Do you make pixel art for a company or something? Or is this all just freakishly good messing with textures in your free time?
Your friendly neighborhood Kingpin here...
Just finished reading all the post on this thread. Learning about the Painterly origins is a little satisfying. Being a newcomer to this great community, i have seen so many half-assed and uninspired pieces of work based off of that over used collection. And know i read about its mostly stolen work from a person that is a piece of work them self. Seems like such a hollow offering to me.
And after seeing your pics you posted and how much support everyone is showing, I;m highly anticipating this release. Re-release? Love the gourd idea. And i am looking forward to seeing for GUI/actionbar and inventory frames. Is there a custom title page in our future?
Keep up the great work and add one more fan to the list.
Oh. Yeah, I have those (still tweaking them, though), but have yet to do the rest of the HUD (as I plan on doing, since I like custom HUDs):
But no, I don't do this for a living. I sure wish I did, though. Maybe if I keep filling my portfolio with stuff like this, I will someday.
Well it's looking great so far! I don't know why, but gui was actually one of the hardest things to do for me :|
Even though they're just menus and stuff....
Fair enough too, I thought you could be sort of like Doku, who made textures and art for a couple of gaming companies and then just does minecraft texture editing in his free time :tongue.gif:
He's lucky...
I'm a longtime user of the Painterly Pack, by the way. I had never realized that it's textures were stolen (although I do remember seeing that graphic before, with the texture comparisons. I dismissed it as "some noob claiming stolen textures" at the time. I wasn't very active in the forum and wasn't paying much attention, obviously.
Could you please hold off on Painterly vengeance for a while? While it may have sprung off of stolen beginnings, the thing's evolved into something absolutely insanely huge, and the original yoinked textures now aren't a major part of it. It may be time to let rage-inducing injustices be bygones.
As a great fan of the Painterly Pack, I'm especially looking forward to a new pack by the return of the /actual/ person who made those textures. So far, this is looking GREAT!
I'm not planning on taking any action against Kas or his pack for past grievances, despite still being upset about it. I just want him to leave me alone. This includes, but is not limited to, never stealing from me again.
I probably won't be doing anything too fancy with the main menu, at least for now. I spent a few minutes to make this, though:
Seeing as this is a WIP, Do you have an idea of a release date? And maybe a little pre-release with some unfinished items? :>
Otherwise, The pack looks very nice, I'm very anxious for its release.
On the topic of Kas' theft:
I've never noticed. But this is possibly due to the reason i've never used either of the texturepacks. What I've heard you can do is notify a Moderator, telling them of the theft, Kas should be notified to change the textures, and if not so, His entire pack can be taken down.
..... When I first read the title of this texturepack, I thought it was a "Shadow of the Colossus" pack. It was something far much better, can't wait for it <3

Mind you, that would be awesome because Shadow of the Colossus was one of the best games, like, EVER! :tongue.gif:

And sorry, but I don't like giving pre-releases. I simply cannot bear the thought of giving something which doesn't live up to my standards.
CAN'T WAIT :DDD
I hope mine will bother you, too.
Incredible! I can't wait to see what the other mobs will look like!
I suggest you add the individual mini-spiders to the spider_eyes.png to make it even creepier.
Mind you, that would be awesome because Shadow of the Colossus was one of the best games, like, EVER! :tongue.gif:
