Alien- Crit plz

[Evil]

Developer, please keep short, unhelpful comments to yourself. If you don't have something important to say, don't say anything.

The newest version does look a lot better. However I'm not real sure what the bright green things are. I would imagine they are tubes. A little shading, like on the control pannel, might help them look more like tubes.

I like that alien.the head might be too squareish for my taste but it's fine as it is too. the alien inspired me to draw one too.

Hey Potter, some advice for posting pictures,

try posting your low resolution art in GIF or PNG, that way, people who want to help you by repaint have a 'clean' picture. When you convert your art in JPG it get's a bit screwed up most of the time

as for the art, keep drawing! your going the right direction

[Indie Boy]

Thanks. Yeah they are tubes, Il work on the shading and change the colour of them because it is clashing with "Alein". Ive got some more ideas for the story. The cloning thing is staying the same. The aliens make robots and they all wrong and the planet is taken over by them. The evil clone acts as their leader and "Alein" has to get his planet back for his people.

Ps like the alien Haddas

[Indie Boy]

Heres a better picture

[viktor]

Hm..
Maybee the pipes would look more like pipes if you do something like this:
or this

notise the green light effect on the first pipe (it makes it look more like steel or glass)

[Indie Boy]

thanks Il get to it

Its getting there

Not yet.
1) draw. Before posting, actually DO change a background, don't just fill one box with different color or draw a tiny button to somewhere and say "updated version". This is pointless.

2) Despite very nicely drawn console, room is awfully empty. Add alot more details!

3) Red color... ugh. It may be okay with only one room, but if you're about to make whole spaceship in such "eye-killer" colors, better rethink your rooms.
Because -- one thing is wish to give players joy and excitment, another one is giving them head- and eye ache...

.D

4) Character style seems fit with room style just fine. You're on the right track here. Keep other characters in same style.

5) Work with tiny, pixelly things! The stuff on console looks good, so I guess it's your strong side. Add lots of little machinery onto floor and walls, and some wires hanging, and so on.

6) Practice - and again - practice your perspective drawing skills. Learn vanishing point system, observe 3d games and your own room in reality, just do everything to get these shapes right, because you have almost perfect perspective paintover room here, but if you don't learn the technique, other rooms will look very bad and different.

About the original alien, I'd actually have its eyes as they were originally, plain black. It's creepier that way, the second way is just, well, cute, not creepy in any way...

[Indie Boy]

heres a updated one
I changed the size off a few things, sorted the lighting, edited the colours and added a speaker and a screen



BTW Im not having the whole game in der most of it out side

[Developer]

What about shadows for the consols and stuff?

[Indie Boy]

where on the consol and what stuff?

[Stryke]

Here's a different version for your Alien BG. I didn't really like the red walls so I used gradients. The background is pretty cool so far, work hard: Potter. Click on the thumbnail to see a bigger version of it.

GRADIENTS BAAAD!

[Stryke]

Gradients are unprofessional and they're a pre-tool. So what? What's your point.

Also broke a rule:
* Critique that isn't constructive in any way, like "GRADIENTS BAAAD!"
That won't go anywhere.

[Develope (GUEST)]

GRADIENTS BAAAD!

I dont agree, gradients are a life saver when used the right way.

The only ''BAAAAAD'' Thing to use is lensflares and thats even okay if you use it right.

[Indie Boy]

Thanks for your replys. I like the blue but it is a bit strong compared to the other colours.

With the shading i uselly blur the colours, like on the pipes

[Indie Boy]

Right ive changed the colours for the bg what one looks better?

1I like this but it blends
2I aslo like this but the grey doesnt go well
3This is the orignal

[viktor]

well I think that the first one looks the best.
But there's one thing I've noticed. The whole metal part of the console is wierd. The left side seems to be lover than the right.

[Developer]

The silver one.
