Well, she is a nice 15 year old girl that has problems lately. A Werewolf is roaming in her neighbourhood and thats why she has a baseball bat.

oh, how cute is that

Scummbuddy · Sun 25/09/2005 22:14:27

I absolutely love it.

Two things I would add/change, would be to extend the drapes on the window to the full length of the window. It wouldn't make much sense to have curtains that don't cover the window, in my opinion.
Another thing, would be to add a silhouette to the front of the room, and add something that would go on that 'fourth wall' between the viewer and the room.

I also love the story ideas that youve given us just a hint of. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Wow, love the room! It looks very cartoony-stylish...(my favorite!) Nice color and decor. The girl is great, but looks kinda of dark. She doesn't look the type that would have all those "cutesy" things in her room. (balloons, "kiss me" poster, lavender walls, etc.)

But I love them both no matter what... looking forward to playing this one.

Here is a minor fix to the teens weapon:

(The bat is just not going to work for her.)

Looks great. I love the style.
There are just a few elements that seem oversaturated. Here's what I would do to tone them down:

Darkened the mat outline colour then desaturated the mat.
Desaturated the curtains.
Desaturated the blacks.

(I agree that the curtains should be longer.)

Did she trade her sword for a bat???
The life of a pirate must have got on her nerves.

Great room, it looks way better than the bedroom did a while back, I like the jaggy shadows on the ceiling and behind the closet as it makes your romm look differant from other peoples. I agree with everyone else aboute the curtains.

Krysis · Mon 26/09/2005 14:05:20

Ok here is another version of the room. Is it better?

jasonjkay · Mon 26/09/2005 14:16:25

I've just resized your pictures for comparison.

Yea it looks better, you've resized the curtains and you've added more objects and posters to fill up the room and add more detail. I also notice that you've took SteveMcCrea's advice on the rug. I like it.

Corey · Mon 26/09/2005 14:55:24

i like the style its painted very good only why isnt there some kind of chair in front of her pc?? how would she work on it this way??

jasonjkay · Mon 26/09/2005 15:01:58

I think the chair your referring to is that one over to the right of the screen near the window, she probebly moves it around the room to sit in differant places.

Darth Mandarb · Mon 26/09/2005 15:19:49

This image is off to a GREAT start! I have made a few alterations ...

- added carpet to the floor and increased the contrast
- darkened the shading on the floor
- added hi-lights (armoire, curtains)
- fixed shading on the chair (was reversed)
- altered the coloring of the desk and night stand
- added a door
- changed outline color of the floor mat

Some things I would suggest:

- add base boards
- add foreground objects (as already suggested)

Also, I love the sprite of the little girl. She looks a bit like the daughter from 'The Incredibles'!

Keep up the good work!

Krysis · Mon 26/09/2005 16:32:11

How is that?

Tuomas · Mon 26/09/2005 16:40:09

That is REALLY NICE!!! but the objects on the front... doesn't it look a bit like the 4th wall was much farther away from the other room, if you know what I mean. Note that this is just for I needed something so that this post weren't useless. Really it doesn't bother me at all

Scummbuddy · Tue 27/09/2005 17:49:44

I think you've done an outstanding job. Very very nice.

The ONLY gripe I have now, is the mis-matched furniture. Yeah, it is possible for someone to get hand-me-down furniture, or you just buy it that way, but all the furniture here are of different makes. I would suggest that you hire a decorator to help give you some color matching, for not only the furniture, but everything else in the room. (To some extent, at least)

The silhouette you did is very nice. I would keep it as it is. You added some nice detail to it, it would be a shame to just go all-black with it now.

I agree... At least, she is a 15-year-old girl. Don't they all have a personal decorator? I guess what he really is after that the curtains, the blanket? (on bed) oh, sheets

tha carpet.... they are as different as those in my room... She must have some taste for colours, some that she prefers...

Also, the teddy and the flag should be pink, expecially the flag! [this is where you realize it's a joke]... Get the point huh? cool

Kweepa · Tue 27/09/2005 18:23:24

Great stuff. Just two things:
- AVG? Surely AGS?
- hard to believe that a 15 yr old girl would have an imperial walker model in her room.

Haddas · Tue 27/09/2005 18:34:50

She also has a baseball bat. Girls don't play baseball and you know it!

I am ofcourse kidding.
