Although the original picture is nice, I feel it lacks some details. For instance, where are the fish? If you're going to the trouble of drawing a tiny little moustache along her upper lip, you should at least grace the scene with some aquatic lifeforms.

It would be particularly smashing if you could show a little fish about to be eaten by a bigger fish, which is about to be eaten itself by an even bigger fish, et cetera ad nauseum.

Also, the girl's gumby legs disturb my artisitc sensibilities.

I admire the dynamism of Dart's edit. She transposes the tranquil scene into one of action and drama. It's better than a sharp stick in the eye.

its actually a clip of an animation sequence, so theres a chance there may be fish yet, but i'm not sure. I thought about this one but i feel that the fact that shes alone symbolizes something so i decided to take the fish out of that particular shot (ask Yoke for proof ;p)

As for the 'mustache' thats actually her top lip, if you look at the characters idle stance you'll notice that her top lip is darker than her bottom.

And why do you think her legs are grumbly? Again if you look at the original stance, its all in preportion.

Feel free to do an edit though if you think you can improve.

With every new screenshot you publish here, i get more hyped up about this game. Beautiful screens... the mood they portrait is perfect!
Any demo we can look forward to?

Wow, i feel pretty flattered to get such good comments from somebody who does such awesome work! Thanks man  :)

As i said, the game will be released in parts, and im currently only working on part 1, which is relatively short, so that will be a sort of demo if you will.

Zor: All will become clear when you see the inro  ;)

I cannot see any kind of moustache, it looks like her lip to me. Oh well.
And I think the gumbyness of her legs is her right one is bent at a sorta funny angle. Well thats what I think.

Unless it's some vast ocean, I'd expect to see at least some vague dark shapes at the bottom, to represent the, well, bottom.

Rest looks fine, especially like what you did with the bubbles 'n all.

Yes. I need input on the story, a sprite I made, and I have a request for an AGS template.

Really nice.

...but when the game is finished, we have already seen all the backgrounds since you keep posting so much of your stuff here ::)

Quick compulsive edit:



(i) Added brighter light coming from upper right (PS: lighting effect)

(ii) Modified the shade on the girl and bag to correspond more to the light

(iii) Modified the hue of the girl and bag (PS: Curves)

Hey loominous, thanks for the edit, but i think its a little too 'brash'. Like i said there's not really much to edit on this one. Thanks anyway.

Turns out my monitor has been very poorly calibrated which explains the first edit's darkness.

I modified both edits, and here they be:
