Well here it is:

It's a bit empty and have some errors but overall it's not bad(isn't it?).

You should tone the red down. Such a strong color is not very pleasant to look at.
Don't use the spray tool on the lines in the corners. The missing pixels look weird.
Correct the spots where the lines are supposed to meet(bottom right of door, top left of window etc.).
Don't make the colors cross the lines and mix with each other.

I'd say if you plan to use the weird angled windows and doors like that, don't be afraid to skew the room itself too.

Well minor update:
Sorry for the crappy quality but I had to upload it in jpg because of some problem
I will upload it in png soon
Anyway I deleted the points from the lines.

Sorry, no. It's not good at all...

First, colors bleed too much... It's especially ugly on black outlines
Second, skewed style has to be done carefully, and should have some point in it.
Yours doesn't have any.

You can make cartoony style, but make difference between "cartoony" and "half-assed".

Add alot more things into this room before going on, and change the red color. Also, the door is way overdone.

You should probably make the walls a different color than the floor. I would also like it if you put in some furniture like a lamp or a couch. It would probably look better to be able to see the ground outside the window. also some walls should be darker than others depending on the light source.

Here's my quick, yet so awsome edit. And it only took several minutes  :D

Mr. Buckéthead thats ... beautiful, nice edit.

Wtcq, I think you should add a bit of moonlight shinning in the room. And also, make the lines on the box consistent with the lines on the door.


That is, assuming the objects are a box and the moon.

I think don't save to jpg. I think further more, you should look into reference material like Day of the tentacle and sam and max. I think you might want to try a normal style before stretching the limits of reality too much since, the guys that do do that understand the fundamentals of real world perspective etc.

Also if your gona go with the skewed style I would recommend trying to keep some symmetry  to it, like the top thick the bottom thin or visa versa reference Mr Bucketheads pic for visual explanation. (the door in this case)

Also maybe google for some nice tuts, on drawing perspective or DOTT style (Maybe try using Bill Tiller as a keyword in the searches too)

Good Luck.

Afflict.

ALPHATT

Thx Afflict for the tip maybe I'll try Something like dott since I've played the game 12  twelve and I like the style of so I'll psot some Dott style pic soon ok?(if you say yes I will make one if you say no I will make one anyway)

Wtcq, reading some of your posts really annoys me. It's strange that you don't even try to appear old enough for this forum, when you're clearly underaged.

His problem is that he is a moderator... and you need to be moderated.
Are you guys ready? Let' s roll!

A few of your posts are badly spelled, incoherent, lack punctuation, and are generally pointless. If you don't make a minimal effort when you write, why should we have to read it?

"incoherent" is correct (at least that's what Firefox spell-check says).

This is in fact ironic, because that's yet another sentence coming from you that doesn't seem to make sense in the slightest.

Sorry, nobody cares about a few typos around here, it's just, sometimes we have to guess what you're trying to say and that is annoying, time-intensive and unnecessary. Either try to take a few seconds more after writing a post, re-read it, check whether the words make sense to other people than you, then post or reconsider spending time on an English-speaking community.

This is all off-topic though, badly, so I say we stop this discussion now or take it to another, more appropriate thread.

The DOTT style "crooked" architecture is actually more difficult to accomplish than correct perspective.  It doesn't seem like it would be, but it is.  The problem that I, personally, have with your background is that it appears that you just threw some lines up there in 5 minutes and then rushed to post.

I'll offer the advice I've given before.  TAKE YOUR TIME!! 

Here is something I threw together in ten minutes:



Followed a simple perspective.  Easy.  A lot of the artists in here (myself included) spend hours upon hours crafting our backgrounds.  We devote time and energy to them.  Take your time.  Check all lines, double pixels, follow perspective, etc.  Think of the details; furniture, trim, doorknobs, etc.  Don't be so eager to post and get people's opinions.  We don't know when you're working on something and we aren't waiting for it ... so if you wait a bit longer and spend some more time on it we'll never know the difference.

Seriously ... just take your time.

I don't really mind the grammar or spelling mistakes. Nobody is perfect. It is just that it sometimes feels as if you were talking to yourself.

ALPHATT

Darth Mandarb:

Wtcq, why are you posting here if you are not really following advice? Lots of people suggested things and you don't seem to have used any of it   ???
