Title: Some backgrounds
Post by: blenderhead on Fri 15/07/2005 19:40:10
i drew these and a few more of the same style about a year ago for a game i liked the style of them at first but grew tired of it so i gave up on them,
but now ive come back to them and i'm thinking of using them again.

I'm posting them for some crits, what do you think of the style, any thing i need to add, take away, change ?

I could only get the first one to load.

It's not bad, if a bit basic.  It lacks details (paneling, lights, shadows, dirt, dust, grime, etc.) but I'd say it's a good start.

Darth sorta spoke my mind...

As much as I'd like to praise a more original, minimalistic and simplistic approach to your own style, I must say I still like the third one best since it has the most detail. Nevertheless, I do appreciate the style. Looks good.

They feel... blurry to me, and hurt my eyes. Plus, the jpg artifacting doesn't help matters.

I enjoy the style. It's new. I think you should just add more detail to your pics - and that that second one? Looks like the bed is floating in mid-air! You should also straighten up your lines a bit on the third one, they're a bit blurry right now.

The third isn't bad at all, it's just that if you're going to use them in the same game, won't you have to use a different character art for the third, since it's from above...?

I'd say the floors are in about the same perspective...

And now that I see the other too, I gotta say I like your style :) The third one especially is great.
