from my new game 'Jack Morgon: The cursed books' (Im not playing BOS so it doesnt turn out as a spin off  ::) but I will play them after, they look good. anyway, thats one of my first rooms, a little more detail needs adding, such as a fold up bed on the right wall, a carpet and a ceiling color...

How you like, I am looking for some people templates for this game, plz post any links you have for me :)

Thanks

For a site that doesn't allow hotlinking.

if you put http://invis.free.anonymizer.com/ before your image you will be able to view it..

Image it self seems fine, i think the perspective is right :)

Its nice. Very bland though, a lot like a old womans house. It really needs some different colors. Another thing is that you dont need so much ceiling in the picture... Good all around...

Its gonna be a low budget apartment, and I plan to make cracks in the walls and things, the bland effect will hopefully be sightly reduced, but I dont want the room to be packed if you know what I mean.

Thxs for the comment

It looks good. The perspective isn't exectly right, but that doesn't really stand out, and it will probably be even better after you add more detail.

Like Evil said, there's too much ceiling. I think you should move the whole room up. That will leave a big empty space on the floor, but you can always add some furniture and dark objects in the foreground.

The whole background could use some shading. But maybe you should wait until you've drawn the other details before you shade.. I can give you a few tips on shading if you want.

Low budget apartments have horrible stains in the carpet, dirt marks on the wall, cracked ceiling, dry toilet paper on the toilet mirror, etc

lol, that was my start image, I wanted to see if the perspective was right, before I added too much color and found out it was completly wrong... Ill shade after Ive added all I need or Illended up ruining it.

I got PSP7, how can I move the room up without creating a floating selection which I cant draw on to edit?

how can I do it cause since this Ive added loads and dont wanna do it again :)

Plus I could do with some HEX codes for a good color for glass (windows and a mirror)

The perspective is a lil odd cos every object seems to have its own vanishing point. The coloring is a little bland. Otherwise a nice room.
