Title: Background AA Art
Post by: Necro on Tue 01/07/2003 21:57:32
A new background to gawk at...

Please ignore the bit above the top black line.. not cleaned up.
What do people think about this? Do you prefer Black outlined rooms or prefer the dark colour outline (like on my charachter).

I was just trying to get a feel for Anti-aliased backgrounds, any pointers to look out for n stuff also welcome...

I definitely prefer the darker-colour lines as opposed to the black lines. The anti-aliasing looks pretty good, fits with the style of the character, and the shading's pretty well done too. I think the room needs to look a little busier tho... I'm not sure what you can add because I don't know what kind of room this is meant to be. And do the floor a different colour or texture to the walls and ceiling.

I personally prefer darker outlines, like Archangel - But it's all up to you. It looks pretty good, on the whole, but it's a very clean room - Add some furniture and other stuff to make it look more "alive"...

Also, the lamp cord shouldn't be all wobbly like that if it's hanging in the air.

It could be a stiff wobbly lamp cord! :)

Ok heres the image again , with darker liner instead of black and a diff coloured floor and ceiling? I see how it looks better.. I'm not too concerened with littering the room with objects at the moment.. just the overall appearance..  

Hmm Ignore the black outline around the window , I forgot that 1.

I also don't like black outlines, and I think they are a  bit too thick too.

I love your character, you should make a bg in his style

Does the door go outside? Uhh, if so, shouldn't it be lighter? Just a thought. Maybe have the door closed if you're too lazy to draw the outside. Just thoughts. Looks much better!

looks good! i should maybe keep the black lines but make them thinner, and put stuff n the walls, it looks a bit loke a cardboard box, its very good and neat though. good work!

A bit empty and the outlines for the room look a bit thick. Looks very nice all the same.
