Title: A room bg, needs c & c
Post by: Eigen on Mon 22/03/2004 19:43:45
Thought I'd make an AGS game too. Here's the first room pic I drew. What do you think?

The game takes place in the mid 80's, when computing was young and hackers were even younger.

I think that this room is pretty cute, green floor is too empty (add more cracks or some other stuff there), these black lines on a bedsheet don't look good and color choice is quite nice.

All i really did was change the black outlines to outlines of a darker colour from inside the image.

umm that made no sense atall, personally i prefer this style but oyu may like the black outlines more. Either way, its still a good background.

I like this b/g alot...I'd say give the floor a bit more structure (since it's just plain green now) and it's perfect! OSC's edit is good not better necessarily...to my oppinion the black outlines fit well in your style...

Cheers

I like it, I really like it! I would change the color of the rug to, uh, another color like red or something.

As I said, I really like it! You've got a nice style there.

Thanks!

I like it without the black outlines more. Gives a warmer athmosphere. So I removed them. Also changed the color of the carpet, added some details, made the floor colors more contrast. So here it is:

Alot better, despite that floor is still just one large plain area.
Add shadow under the chair.

Don't be afraid of contrasty colors, current shadows and three colors on a bedsheet are too much same, you could make contrasts stronger to give picture more overall strength.
