This could really do with some c+c (house interior)

[Daz]

This is the inside of a the house i drew a while back, if you can remember. And once again will most likley be used in a practise game.

so here it is


i need some real help on the colours, but everything else is up to you! ohh and the sofa was drawn in a couple of seconds because thats one of the things i really cannot draw.  

thanks

Maybe add a carpetty texture to the floor and a wood texture to the door and fireplace.

[Scummbuddy]

oh please no textures!
I would reduce the glare on the tv, and shouldnt there not be a fire in the fireplace, that could later be replaced by an animated object of fire?

[..]

When i said textures I didn't mean photoshop textures btw..

Just draw in some wood grains manually and maybe some fluffy carpet bits..

[Ashen]

Funny, that's almost exactly how my attempts at sofa's usually turn out as well.

The only things I'd say would be:
- The shadows don't look quite right for the light sources - for example the TV shadow should probably be further down the wall if it's being cast by the ceiling light.
- More clutter (e.g. stuff on the table, or the mantlepiece), to break up all the straight lines.

I did an edit:

Old:


New:


Done in paint as always, spent too much time on it

[rtf]

Wow, that's really nice!


I think that you should add a Moose Head (Serious) to the empty space between the chimeny and the left wall.

I'd draw it but I am the world's worst pixel artist  

[Phemar]

Dammit Opo! Make a friggin game now so I can play with you're lovely Backgrounds!!!

BOT: I would reduce the thickness of the lines, to 1 pixel wide. 100k!3

[Pstonie]

Yeah, Opo. You got the talent. What about that SQ:HoD?

[Opo Terser]

Yeah I liked the moose idea:



Done in paint as always

And yeah, I gave up an Space Quest, I can't stay with ideas for long.

* Evil beats Opo Terser and steals his tallent

[LordHart]

You're too late Evil, I already cut out his heart and ate it... therefore I have his powers.

[Pstonie]

That wasn't his heart. It was a wet sock.

And Opo, you could be a background artist for a project then? A lot of projects need one.

[Peter Thomas]

That freaking moose head ROCKS!

When rtf suggested it, I thought "might work, might not" but that looks damn cool.

Daz: I think your screenie looks great! I'd agree about reducing tv glare, but also maybe do something with the curtains. They look as though there's a breeze blowing through the door, pushing them against the windowpane, but the doors closed, so they should be hanging straight and still.

apart from that, top effort!

[Chicky]

OMG tersera that rocks!!!!!

ill tell daz to check back to this thread, it doesnt look like he's seen the update. He'll be happy  

-OSC

*edit* the fire's guna be a bitch to animate isnt it

[Daz]

yeh, sorry about not being able to post much but my computer broke and i resorted to posting from school.

i like all the ideas and i love the edit you did Opo, thanks alot.

i will do another edit and post it here asap and see what you think

ta muchly

-Daz

ps hope you don't mind if i use that edit as a bases of my bg in my practise game?

[Daz]

computer is now better and i have done this edit it has some of the ideas from opos edit but i have changed the style to more cartoony, don't get me wrong opo's edit was top notch, but not the style im going for.

i suppose thats the idea of the critcs lounge, to adapt and improve.

anyway here it is



c+c??
ta

-Daz

[Daz]

right i realise my edit is not as good as it could be if i used opo's edit so i used and it turned out like this



i tried to reduce the sinister look and clump the pixles more.
