Hi, i made this background:
(http://invis.free.anonymizer.com/http://usuarios.lycos.es/golfapagina/otros/juslibol.png)
There is something strange with the car (whose silouette (sp?) i traced from a photograph ;D) Maybe it is off perspective?? is it very noticeable?? ways to fix it?? any other critics or comments??
thanks! :)
...
OMG. Like, wow. That is brilliant. I like the way you made the background itself look so detailed in 2d, then made the car look like Sam and Max style 3D. ;) Brilliance. Utter brilliance. I wish I could draw like that :(
*looks at pitiful attempts at drawings and cries*
Ahem, anyway. Critique.. um... uh.. the car actually looks out of place in that scene, and even though it looks cool, 3D and stuff, due to its lack of shading (even though I applaud your effort, which is far better than mine) it looks like its in the wrong light. The shape is perfect, though. Keep at it! :)
I'd love to see an entire game with graphics of this quality... It's very nostalgic! No major critique, although the tree looks kind of weird, I'm not sure what's on it.
It looks beautiful! The car doesnt look odd at all to me. The right most wheel doesnt have a dark ground shadow touching it which may be causing some strangeness tho I hardly noticed it.
So, the car needs some more shading (thanks malevolent d.)(and maybe i´ll change that bright white in headlights and plate), and ill add a shadow beneath the right wheel (thanks neole).
Trap, what do you think is weird about the tree?? shape, shading, colours... I´ll be happy if you could tell me :D
:o :o :o
Cool picture!
I think that either the car is to small or the bench is to big. Bring on some more of the wonderful art for us... :)
I'm with Evil on this one: absolutely gorgeous picture, love the shading of the backdrop hills, but the car seems a bit too small - or the bench too big.

I think it's the gray coloring... The moss on it doesn't contrast very well against the gray, and I have no idea what the two brown shapes are...
Awesome pic!!!
:o :o :o
Beatiful doing, love the some things are less focused than others, and love the grass and pile of rubble\cement\cig-ash\whatever :P.
:)
I would like to create children with you.
I love it.
I don't think the car looks to out of place. I like it where it is.
By the way, how do you get those textures (grass & ash pile)?
great picture.... you HAVE to tell me how you did those bushes....
Somehow, something tells me you didn't draw them pixel by pixel - or DID you? :o
good to see you're still hanging around proskito :)
you're right though the perspective of the car is a bit weird but thats the only (minor) comment I've got the picture looks just great!
keep creating! ;D
This is a really cool picture and the car looks fine.
I think the reason it looks *slightly* odd, is the image you traced was taken with the camera At about the same height as the car, and the camera in your image is above the car.
But the whole thing looks so nice there's not much point changing anything!
Thanks!
yes, you are right about car perspective, but i´m too lazy to redo it. ::)
I made the bench a little bit smaller and added a stronger shadow under the car, and some other minor changes.

I hope this to look a bit better, although it has not changed so much.
NT3 and aussie: both textures are made with this ugly brush:

hi fruittree, glad to see you! :)
toefur: although it might be physiologically impossible, there is no harm on trying... ;)
The shine on the windscreen looks great!
it's a fiat panda ;)
I love this one very much!
The background (mountains, fields) are beautiful, thanks to the blue fade colouring you gave it.
Only thing I'd change is the colour of the tree to brown.

Oh, wow! Incredible background! Reminds me a whole lot of FoA, but perhaps even better!
I can't think of anything constructive to say - It looks perfect to me. If this is from a game you are currently making, I can't wait until it's finished... ;D
only one crit. the hill to the left is a bit flat... maybe some shading could fix it?
hehe N3T, it´s a fiat uno ;). Here in spain, panda was sold under seat label, i owned a seat panda some years ago (well, my parents did).
I have tried what synthetique pointed out. (thanks man! :)):

I tried to make the tree brown as some people suggested, but i didn´t do a good job, so i think i´ll leave it gray.
thanks for helping! :D
great work! got any tips about how u made it?
I cant find anything wrong whith the car (exept that it is a Fiat but loks like a VW Golf). The car is parked with it's rear facing the grass instead of on the road, like if the driver has failed to parallel-park or something: Put it on the road instad, or at least in line with the road.... :P
i liked the tree not so brown.. change it back.. i.m.o.
yes synth, the final version has the tree gray as before.
MrMasse, it´s supposed to be a place where you can park wherever you want, and it would be some work to draw the car in another position, so i´ll leave it as it is now
and.... ITS A FIAT UNO!!!! >:( ;) :P
;D But it still looks like a VW Golf... :P
except it has the fiat sign on the front!
great! i cant find anything wrong, exept maybe you could take the car into another window, flip it and put it back exept put the door open on that side, so that it looks like its coming from the road like MrMasse said.

I love your background and I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with it. Same great Monkey Island 2 feel! Can't wait to try out your game!
Awesome man!
I can't wait to play that game.
this didnt look as good as i thought it would but i had a go at flipping the car.

Dont flip the car, spoils the composition totally.
