Title: torture chamber, please help! (WARNING! Gore & nudity)- updated, now with Hell..
Post by: Fizz on Fri 13/08/2004 09:07:06
hey! I'm making this: (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/helvete_copy.gif) but i dont know what the hell to put on the walls! i thought of some coverts, and some windows... but thats boring. and for the cieling, i thought of ome medieval paintings of hell... i dont know... any suggestions? ive stared myself blind at this... thanks!

and, yeah, of course there will be some instruments :)its really just the walls that are bugging me. ill hang some instruments on there, but i would like some coverts as well... but then you wouldnt be able to get around for all the fun stuff... bleargh. im sorry if i offended anyone, that wasnt the point (not in here at least). its cover art for a friend of mine's black metal band called Spectral Mortuary.

again, sorry if i pissed anyone off :)

I'm sure DG agrees

Hm...
I like your stile. Briliant picture.
I like the idea of the painting on the cealing. As for the wall how about puting some torture tools on them.

IMHO opinion, the p3n154 is too big for a dead man...  ::)

you're just jealous.

I like the style, maybe you could put some posts up on the walls, or bared windows.

You should look around for some weird gothic paintings that fit the angle and toss em in or something.  This shot reminds me of an old style rpg for some reason, very nice.

farlander is right, the p3n1sh is too long, it has to be twice as short (well unless I layed there  ::) ).....

medieval paintings on the wall would be great!

yeh, just for the stats i'd have to agree that the p3n15h is too big, kmon not only is it a 'cold day'. But the guys friggin dead, surley that would add to the shrinking of his err, penis.

Very nice Fizz! How about giving the walls some texture? Brick? Or just some vague irregular pattern (if you want concrete). Cracks? Just something to break up the plainness. You could also try making the walls progressivly darker further into the room (away from the light sources). I think this would add more depth. Also, the field of view seems slightly stretched, but that doesn't really bother me. Other than that, you've got everything else covered. Very nice! :)

do we really have to see the penis in the first place?

It's not like I'm offended by it or anything, it's just a pretty ugly detail.

Penis, penis, penis!!!

The perspective of the two stone shelves on the walls is a bit off. The short ends should run horizontal, seeing as you're using one-point perspective. Right now they seem to tilt down towards the floor.

Maybe put some tapestries on the walls with hellish images? Some columns along the wall?

Great picture!

Where are the tools used to make the man suffer? I'd expect to see them in the torture chamber...

I did a small paintover. I didn't really put any effort into it, because I'm lazy. But I partially worked on the left wall. I tried adding water damage and oldness into the walls, but you probably get what I'm after.

Hey, nice!
Why not do the same with the roof on the other side?
Just inverted colors. Looks a lot like Jesus! :D

I was going to comment on the floor, but it really is nice.
Sort of fits. Jannar likes.

Yesm, add a blanket or cloth over his member and let it drape over the sides of the table.

I love the art on the ceiling, and the style in general. The stone tables, as said, are not in perspective.

In my opnion, I would add tapestries (spelling?), blood spots, grime as Haddas has shown, and some texture.

I think it's kinda funny that this guy's dick is evoking such a vocal reaction among board members.  I wonder if this largely male board would be telling Fizz to put cloth over this person's parts if it were large breasts or perhaps a vagina....

hmmmm.

I like the artwork!  I hope you will be doing a similar hell scene on the other side of the ceiling?

I'm not gay or anything, but leave the penis alone...

Or for an even gorier detail... cut it off... and have a set of bloody bolt cutters hanging on the wall... muhaha!

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

We're just jealous as Hotspot said. Besides that fact, I think its the level of gore. If there was a woman with no top on but her guts were falling out I wouldnt find it "attractive". Nor a woman find this "attractive", but women dont usually have a thing for cartoon nudity.

I really like this image.Ã,  It's horrible (in a good way).

I say leave the 'member' in the image!Ã,  (perhaps blurring it out here is okay if it's offending some) but I think having it in the final will really make the image more 'uncomfortable'.

The guy's entrails are hanging out ...

The look on his face ...

The setting ...

It's all very creepy and totally sets the mood.Ã,  Throw in a penis and it'll make it even more creepy.

Just my opinion.

edit - I decided to give it a go ...
(http://www.twin-design.com/ags/help/fizz_help01.gif)
- changed perspective (slightly) on pedestals
- darkened the whole thing (more eerie)
- added some detail to one wall (didn't do both - just to give the idea)
- added some pooling/draining blood under the table

Its a cool image, but I think that the guy looks out of place, the bottom half of him at least looks rather 'cartoony', where-as the skulls and candles etc look more realistic.

It's a nice picture, but the table looks 30 feet long! exept from that, I like it very much  ;D

Darth, the paintings in the ceiling totally rocked. It improved this image by 62%.

Blurring the penis is a bit awkward, though. I suggest covering it up with a blanket.

Post by: Erwin_Br on Sun 15/08/2004 12:25:56
Looking at the perspective, I think his legs should be bigger/thicker. The table is getting wide, while the legs stay more or less the same size. I hope you know what I mean  ;)

Maybe there should be some symmetry on the ceiling. I mean, this guy's dying a horrible death, at least give him something pretty to look at.
And there's no reason not to have a penis in your game because we are independant and are, as such...ABOVE THE LAW!

I think you should chop off the penis and have it lying at the floor

Wow, the room is very immaculate. I suggest extending the images of hell to the walls. The added detail might make the room seem more claustrophobic(sp?) and thus more menacing.  The tile floor looks to be in good condition. Perhpas some cracked or even missing corners of linoleum (or asbestos, if the tiles are as evil as the room itself.) The stone pillars look old, so the new tiling looks a bit out of place. The table should be remain clean and polished, though. I know if I had a table for offerings to Satan, I'd keep it clean so I can see the organs and what-not mirrored perfectly in a mandala of orgasmic pain.

Better yet: make the player chop it off and gain it as an iventory item!....

What? This isn't a Lorena Bobbit game? Oh, well neverMIND then!

There's so much detail on the shelves that they distract from the overall image.  I might drape a cloth over his nether-regions, less for obscuring the penis The Penis and more to add interesting details.  His limbs are at very stiff/straight angles and that makes him look more fake than skin tones or other small problems. 

I'd also expect that unless that's where he's been laid to rest, there might be manacles or leather straps holding him in place.  A blood gutter also seems appropriate under the circumstances.  For the painting on the ceiling, I'd rather see vague/blurry details than something that looks fairly cartoony (mostly the demon/dragon's expression, the people seem alright). 

I think the dragon could be fixed by removing the pupil and putting some structure lines around the eye to give it shape, there's just something about the wide-eyed expression that makes it comical.

It's good work, makes me wish it were for a game rather than an album cover, but *shrug*

well, happy birthday to Fizz! (figured might as well, now that his thread is ressurected.)

I cant believe that this thread really is over a year old. I would have guessed that it was maybe from spring 2005, not august 2004. Crazy how time flies on the net.

Nice and freaky. If there's one thing I don't like is the art on the ceiling, try drawing it as you would on a flat surface and then skew it to fit the ceiling.
