Isometric Stone Blocks Process

[muddle]

hope nobody minds, but I am going to keep posting small updates as I figure out how to create various isometric map pieces.

please do. Looking forward to seeing more. The grass looks great.

another attempt at isometric water... does this look like water or a blue piece of swiss cheese???

Gelatinous cube! It's pretty good but less regular "caustics" would be better if possible I think. Also, the mismatch along the cube edges is a bit distracting. I can't imagine how you did this in vector, though, so I can't suggest how to fix either of those issues.

I think only the top square of the water block should have the wave pattern. One would only ever see the sides in cut-out representations anyway, and in those it makes more sense to give more of an underwater impression, rather than that of a vertical surface. I'd make the sides be a solid blue color, and completely opaque to hide that bottom square that you can currently see due to the transparency - while this is not a problem with a single block, it would prolly look pretty awful if you made a deep body of water from these blocks.

Seriously though, maybe a few less 'bubbles' and I think it would look better.

I think Ghostman has the gist of it. Perhaps adding a subtle gradient from lighter blue at top to darker blue near the bottom.
