Anathavia has released that nice looking waterfall for use by anyone!

Animated Waterfall Tiles is exactly what it says it is, just drop them in your tiles folder and stamp 'em into your map!

Anathavia: Did you really use *just* paint to make these?

Yes I did make it with paint. I know that with some other programs you can make the pictures better but I just like to work with paint cause I am familiar with it. I think when I come upon something I can't do with paint that I switch to another program but until then paint works fine for me.
I basically just used existing tiles to start with in combination with some pictures of waterfalls I googled. Because the original tilesets are indexed it automatically changed the colors to the dink palette when I pasted the waterfall pictures in there. After that I just copied and pasted bits of the waterfall on the background (existing tiles) and make it look a bit realistic.

And skull I never saw that picture before.

That waterfall easily rivals what lesser mortals could do with far more complex graphic editing programs. That you could do it with nothing but paint is very impressive. (I didn't even consider the possibility, I was sure you just forgot to mention the other program)

These are great, but I really think they should be sprites not tiles. These ones replace other tiles when you insert them, so they can be harder to use than others.

Really?! In PAINT!? They look like they were made in Photo-Shop! Paint could never do that!

Paint doesn't matter. It's all up to what the artist is able to do.

Then again, if she used Windows 7, its paint program has improved in such a way that you can brush transparent stuff over other stuff. That would make pictures like this a bit more possible, or at least easier to do, in Paint. But just now I read it was done by mixing it with a photo - still a very impressive manipulation job!

They look VERY good, by the way. I'm thinking maybe the splashes could have had a somewhat larger palette of colors rather than all the pure white pixels, but it's nothing big - it still looks good.
