new background - beach shore

Sim · Mon 27/10/2003 06:09:38

Hi all,

I'm new to ags and the forum and would appreciate any comments/suggestions
you have to offer on my new background (colour, detail, shading etc.).

can you possably post it as a gif or png?
I'm having trouble telling the kick ass pixel work from the jpg speckles

but from what I can seen i love it

that's a very nice background you've managed to make (the jpeg compression kind of messes it up though, try posting a PNG or if it's under 256 colours, a GIF version), the water is very nice, you might want to try adding some more colours to the walkbehind area though, maybe some dark green or blue on the parts that are leaves and grass, nice work.

Excellent beginning here!

I agree with what Boyd said.

Also, the grass on the right side of the screen (to the right of the beach) is blurry. The rest of the image seems to be pixelized but that part looks blurry and it jumped out at me right away!

That could just be because of JPG compression??

But a great start!

thanks for posting the new one
as I said before i really like it
i think you should animate the water tho

Very nice! It reminds me the first Monkey Island... sigh...

Neat! 8) But perhaps a very dark shade of green would be better than pitch black for the shadows in the foreground...?

Ghormak · Mon 27/10/2003 19:59:08

I think that IS a very dark shade of green actually, but I agree that it could be a little lighter. Otherwise really good work. I especially like the water.

DoorKnobHandle · Mon 27/10/2003 20:05:23

I think its really great!

Very good work, Sim!!!!!!

Something of the best I've ever seen!

Really looks impressive i must say.

why is that large rock in the center giving me the middle finger?

good job!!

That is awesome! Why does it look like the grass has sand on it? Bah, What do I know, That is freaking awesome. Must have taken a while.

Sim · Tue 28/10/2003 01:30:29

hehe, I didn't actually see like that when I drew it but you're right it looks like the middle finger. Anyway, I added some blue to the walk-behind area and added in a few extra touches and it seemed to improve the look quite a bit, in fact looking at it now it could probably
use more blue. Thanks for that.

cpage · Tue 28/10/2003 09:23:43

I'm really impressed I love the changes good work
This is one of the best in a long time

Flippy_D · Tue 28/10/2003 12:08:05

Spectacular water effects, man. It's all good.

Proskrito · Tue 28/10/2003 14:05:55

its great!! i love the water, too. Did you make the pallete from scratch or took it from somewhere?? the water looks very FOA to me (which is good

)

the only thing that looks a bit strange to me is the transition between sand and the middle finger rock, and the sand and the vegetation (sp?), seems a bit 'drastic', kind of artificial or so, but it might be just me, you know

i hope to see more backgrounds in this style!

DoorKnobHandle · Tue 28/10/2003 14:11:02

This transission is the only little thing, which could be made better in this screen!

Go on! Make more "rooms" like this and create a game with this gfx-skillz!

Great! really!

Igor · Wed 29/10/2003 00:17:36

I like it!

magintz · Thu 30/10/2003 21:35:25

wow, looks real perdy, very secluded, maybe a little animation of the waves coming in

Privateer Puddin' · Thu 30/10/2003 21:44:34

i am enjoying this greatly

Jumper · Thu 20/11/2003 19:15:16

I like your Pic, it's great drawn. i wish i could make pics like this. what i would do, is to make the dark foreground look like plants in green, but very dark green. but most of all i like it :-)
