Roadside diner background [EDIT]

[Darth Mandarb]

I love it even more now!

The smudgy-ness is still there in some spots, but the new elements lessen it considerably!

I might suggest removing the 'pointy sand thing' that extends up into the road ... it just looks out of place!

TheÃ,  shadow of the solar-mill is brilliant!

HURRY up with this game already!Ã,  I check your website on a regular basis you know

This is awesome, I'd definately play a game with that graphics. Great improvements, but the right part of the sand still looks kinda odd. All the rest is great though

Ok, where you have the sand being blown onto the road it now looks like it is floating , just try and shade it a bit onto the road and it should look fine. Also maybe you cold shade the other things with a tad more tone for more of an effect and mood.

Nice work though.

Excellent. The tower and its shadow somehow make the ridge more credible to me. The patched, cracked pavement looks just right. That fork in the road still looks wrong, though... I just think nobody would make an intersection that way in a desert; people would want to cut across the sharp turn all the time. I suggest you make it more perpendicular, like the diner driveway.

What time of the day is it supposed to be, and is it cloudy or sunny?

It's sunny, and it's late in the afternoon.

Looking gorgeous. The background still has some problems matching with foreground (sharp, vectorish outlines vs. smudgyness), but all in all it looks great. You might want to add some details to the sand itself, make the dunes "sharp" at the top as in real desert, and generally work some texture into it, OR make it all match with background by vectorisationalizing (wow! what a word!) it more...
