Scythe Island BGs and CHAR up for C & C

[fransaskois]

I love acronyms, as you can tell.

Here's some backgrounds and some shots of another character from "Scythe Island," a (hopefully) funny pirate adventure game that I'm making.


This is an animated BG, the little boat in the back is rocking gently.



This one's of my favorites... it's more of a transition screen than a bg, really.  I don't wanna just make a Monkey-Island style background, but something original.  You can see what I'm trying to do: jaggedy shadows, cartoony style.  Kinda DOTT or Sam N Max, maybe... (Two games i haven't played )

This is the main character:


Long, thin limbs, but not gangly.  I just realized that I forgot to draw his beard in his side view.  Damn.  I have to get back to work.

Anyways, I'd love to hear what you guys think.  Everything was drawn in Photoshop.  I wish I had a drawing tablet...

(All images were sized up for your viewing pleasure and lots a bit of quality along the way.)

thanks!

Looking good, but the backgrounds are a bit dark for me to see (maybe it's because of the monitor).

I see that the images became a bit blurry dur to the resizing and JPG compressions.
Actually you don't need to resize the images yourself, the [ img ] tag of these forums has a height and width parameter that'll resize the displayed images automatically, and keep them sharp, for example, if you have an image of 320*200 and you want to display it in 2X size, just put:

[ img width=640 height=400 ]http://blahblahbla[ /img ]

(just remove the first and the last spaces from the tags for them to work.

I really like the character... but his little beard sort of bugs me for some reason... I don't know why. Maybe make it just a line and not an upside down "T"? I dunno...
