Hey guys what do you think of my new bg?

I think i might need to add some more stuff to t, but i wanted to know if its good.

So far, so good. But as you said you need more stuff in it, Especially on the left side of the room, but good work so far.

Is that a painting or a window on the right wall? Cause if it's a window, then the wall seems kinda flat.

Aiee, teh tanker is back!

Well, you have improved your drawing skills, i see
Yes, leftmost window (IF IT IS A WINDOW) needs wall depth aswell. If a painting, frame/ nails or a string is needed, something to show that it's attached to the wall.

Also if it's a painting, show me the dumbass who likes a painting of a tree trunk?

Start trying of not using these black outlines, they're not very nice.

The building at the front of the house is too close.

Try to use more friendly colors instead of MSPint's default shitty palette.

The windows need frames and glass, maybe curtains aswell.

The tv and other things need shading and shadows.

The door needs frame.

The perspective is surprisingly well turned out, amount of wrong-ness is minimal.

The room is very empty.

Overall, I see improvement. Just lack of the details is the the thing you need to work on before posting.

I supposed it's meant to be a painting, but it's misleading because:
1) the grass and sky have the same color as the grass and sky outside
2) the painting (especially the tree ) doesn't follow the room perspective.

I did some fast changes, I hope you like them. The perspective is still not excellent, but I think you can now better understand that it's a painting

i took a shot at it. corrected some perspective, straghtened some lines.

Estaog · Tue 22/02/2005 21:19:56

That is a painting. The reason the building is too close is that it actualy is used as one of the puzzle solutions. Its not mspaint`s shitty palette, the colours are taken from ron rooms. The reason the lines are bent is because i wanted to use the ron style, but thanks for the edit anyway.

Now that that is over, look at the new version :

Fixes:
-I added a sofa to fill the empty space.
-Added a door frame.
-Added a nail and a string to hold the picture (yes, that is a picture).
-Added some shading

Please tell me if there is anything left that is wrong.
Thanks

When I want to be entertained, I'd rather watch TV than a painting.

(In other words, place the TV infront of the couch, where the picture is now.)

InCreator · Tue 22/02/2005 22:47:20

Also, the couch is so wrong.

Why is the back-supporting part wider or at least as wide than the part where people can sit on?

Why does arm support blend into back-supporting part?

It all looks like bizarre geometrical puzzle.

Tv has either no reception or power, i see. No antenna?

Hmm.. i love massive couches. Makes me think back to when i was a kid and could get away with jumping on them excessively.

Sorry about not having any critiques.

MC Escher made a CAREER out of that!

Hey guys i know it`s strange but there is a reason why the painting is instead of the tv. You will find out when i release the demo. 8)

Wouldn't it make more sense (from the perspective of someone who had to live in that room) if the couch faced the tv (or vice-versa)?

I agree with increator about the colours. While they are not taken from MSPaint they are very high contrast, and very harsh on the eye. If I was playing this game I wouldnt want to stay in this room because it would make my eyes hurt. Try using softer colours.

Also I think you need more textures, nothing major so that you still keep with the style, but just the odd lighter pixel on the carpet, and a few darker lines on the TV table would work wonders.
