Title: C&C on a background: my room
Post by: InCreator on Thu 18/12/2003 10:24:53
I tried to make my room for a 640x480 game.
I know that perpsective went a little out of reality, but I'm still not sure should I keep it as it is, or make changes.
Any comments?

*edit:* I moved picture to a freewebs account. Possibly the problems between hot.ee server and people from other countries, people under estonian ISP-s claim they see everything right. This has bever happened before - because I'm a member for a long time and taken part of MsPaint game and so... no problems reported yet!
Still, a bit embarrasing and stupid case. My apologies and link *should* work now.

Probably because you posted less than 3 minutes after me (maybe pic was still uploading). It should work now, for me, it does.

It worked fine for you InCreator, cause its cached on your computer.
I can't see it even if i just put in its address.

Very weird... doublechecked link and pic via ftp. everything *HAS* to be normal! Ok, I changed link to another... same server though, another account. Erased all history, cache... even cookies!
It does work.

Could it be related to the fact that your avatar is also missing?  The same icon appears in both.

click and drag the address into the address bar it will work

edit  ehh screw it!!!
here to all you too lazy to figure it out
(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/bground.gif)

I love it! you are a really talented individual!  
the reason no one else can see your stuff is probably cause your host doesnt allow remote linking.
I'm sure someone will come by and tell you about that whole annonymizer jobee

very nice bg

but try to stay in the same style
your computer for example is blurry while the rest is pixelly, i'd prefer the pixel view, so

for the rest no comment
great job

Excellent work.  It actually reminds me of a REALLY old h-game I played a while ago.

C+C: Do fix the computer scree, it is a little too fuzzy.  The back of the "box"for it is a little undefined as well.

InCreator: The reason no-one but you could see it is because Freewebs allows you to see it for up to 30 minutes with hotlinking whenever you've logged in. No one else would be able to see it, except you.

I did this once and wondered why the image turned into a big red X the next time I viewed it.

But anyway, nice background. I really like the detail you've put into everything, but I think something should be outside the window. It seems like your room is 100 floors up, and you can't see any horizon, ground, other buildings or even clouds.

That and also what N3TGraph said about the computer are the only problems I have with it.

Hollister Man: h-game? Hentai? Reminds me of May Club... or maybe 3SS or SOTS.

Thanks to cpage for helping out. Actually, I moved it to freewebs after my estonian most popular free web servers accounts at zone.ee and hot.ee failed to show the picture, which is very weird, and has never happened before.
Another, and even weirder thing is that Valzebnik managed to see the picture on his computer (he has different ISP). He's from Estonia,too, (and he's not myself, if someone happened to think i would sink that low) - he's a friend of mine and I'm teaching him drawing. He made a background too, today, posted here, and is having same problem! Wonder what happened with estonian free-web-servers... but It's sure I need a new space for my files and surely not estonian one. What was this advice about 2dadventures again?

Yea, I wasn't sure if anyone would know what I meant.  It reminded me a little of True Love.  Anyway.....

Perhaps it is just me.. but the left wall appears to be out of perspective. The artwork looks excellent.. but something about the whole left wall feels off and disproportionate.

To me, it looks as though the left wall's top and bottom lines are getting smaller as they converge on the vanishing point (and rightly so).

However, the window seems to get larger as it travels towards the vanishing point. I think this is compounded by the contrast of the grey lines on the computer and the really dark, totally black lines of the window.

In essence, the window looks like it's jumping out at you.

I really like the drawing, and aside from my anal nitpicks, I think it's perfect.

Hehe - this window IS a bit out of perspective. Not because, I didn't pay attention, but because *IT IS*.
See, I live In Estonia, Tallinn. In a part of city named Lasnamägi, which local people call "concrete jungle".
This was built at the start of 90's just before USSR broke, to get some apartments for flooding immigration so there's really fast built 9-floor concrete condos here, and building quality is pretty low. Okay, on my pic the window is a bit wrong angled but I've seen ones which are excactly like that! And my own window... well, I can never close the little part of window properly - just because of same thing > it's badly placed!
