Well, first off: Either add in a lot of detail or make the images much smaller. Let's see what happens after that.

What should we criticise? Is it a room? Is it a... a what? Why do you want us to make the effort to criticise if you haven't made the effort of trying to say us what to criticise? Ã, :-\

Also, I'm seriously interested in how much time did you use to make these?

It's TRYING to be a room. It's not succeding. It thinks it's in a comedy, warped style.

It WILL be shrinked eventually, but i'm working with a gfx tablet here.

Any comments on the logo?


LOL @ "paintover"

The Critics Lounge instruction states - if I recall correctly - that you should bring your work here when you have done what you can with it, when you've given the picture all you can, worked on it hard for hours perfecting it, but still not being able to get some detail right. If this is the best you can do, I'm afraid you should not try your hand at serious art for a while. Instead, you should just draw stuff to practice on your technique.

About background:
Yeh, you got the comedy/warped style well.. but you should add things in it, like windows, chairs, a table, a door, a piano, whatever you can think of.. all try to do it in your own warped style, so much strange walking curves and lines.. I like that.. but.. blue walls?

About the logo:
The idea is nice.. but I would do another font, more playable, since it's no business logo but a game production logo and perhaps another, more camouflaged color on productions, so your name fits out better..

example:

Well, let's see. About the room:

Lines look slobby. They're also grey, which don't suit the other colours at all. The choice of colour was okay, I guess. You could add some shadows too, and maybe a light source.

Oh, and it has no detail whatsoever. A good start though.

I also did a paint-over:

I'm confused as to why you need to draw huge backgrounds with a graphics tablet, when I don't?

Hold on! Your first image is posted UPSIDE DOWN! What a glaring error!

Jesus Christ.

Now think for yourself, and be honest. Do you really need an internet community to tell you that:
* Rooms have stuff in them
* Pictures don't need to have 1169x748 pixels, especially when they don't have anything in them
* Even if you try to achieve some sort of comedy game, it's a still a room, not a freaking jig-saw puzzle.

No sire, you have to do a lot better than this.
