*New* LOTLL screenshot and cutscene shot

Sorry about the lack of this guys, as some of you know i've had a few personal problems but not to worry. Ok not strictly new, as this was featured in the preview, but it's never been posted:

There are 2 things im already changing:
1. the neon, im not happy with it/looks rushed
2. The tree on the rght doesnt seem right.

im also goung to put something else in the BG to make it a little more detailed.

Give it your worstÃ,Â

I'd agree that the tree looks a bit poor, but I think the neon looks fine. It looks kinda scratchy, but that makes it look more realistic.

Your characters are cool!

Excellent stuff, man. I'm really looking forward to this game.

No real crits, except the ones you've mentioned. The neon and lights are really good, especially the glow, but the writing's a bit difficult to read, mostly just the 're'. The ground looks a little bare also... maybe some small stones on the right side, or a stone path going into the trees would help? The horizon looks a little bare as well... it sounds like you may add something, though.

Left as it is, it's still the best artwork i've seen on here.

wow thanks, its great to hear feedback like that, keeps me motivated. Im in total agreement that tree is really shite, but i had to get it finished so i didnt have time to correct it. I will do in the edit. I also agree about the floor, ill see what i can do.

Some modifications:

(i) Added shadows to objects (stand, fence)

(ii) Raised the black level (in PS: levels, drag the left arrow rightwards)

(iii) Darkened the tone of the side of some objects (stand, box to the left, small edge at the bottom)

(iv) Added a gradient in the sky, making it darker at the top

(v) Added tones on the front trees to give them depth.

and probably something else.

Edit:

(vi) Lowered the saturation somewhat

(vii) Tinted it somewhat (more cyan/turqouise). Just a personal preference.

I like it, very professional.

Ok, ok. Here goes:
The only thing I find wrong with the tree is that it looks more like a bush then like a tree.

Here's what I mean:

Loominous i love the edit, ill try and implement some of that into the edit

Synthetique · Sat 05/06/2004 16:54:12

i think loominous took away everything nice in it.. it shouldn't be too dark..

Darth Mandarb · Sat 05/06/2004 17:17:39

I like Loom's edit of the shadow's contrast but I like the lighter blue tone of the original better.

It just had more mood IMO.

Sure, it might be less realistic lighting, but it sets a mood better for me.

DanClarke · Sat 05/06/2004 17:31:47

not so much to crit on this one, its just a scene from the intro of the game, again, as seen first in the preview:

Moox · Sat 05/06/2004 17:33:42

It appears she has facial hair, other then that I love it, full of mood and atmosphere.

Privateer Puddin' · Sat 05/06/2004 17:33:50

Magical stuff as always! no crits from me

Czar · Sat 05/06/2004 17:41:56

Yeah, the blue one gives more mood, but loomsy (

) has some good points.

Darth Mandarb · Sat 05/06/2004 17:53:03

Excellent!

Will this be animated?Ã,Â If so, I can't wait! (well, either way I can't wait!)

This game just moved up another notch or two on my 'Most Anticipated Games' list!

Keep up the great work!

pixelcat · Sat 05/06/2004 17:54:22

Really nice work. Nothing worth commenting on... pretty much perfect.

Marley_brother · Sat 05/06/2004 21:50:52

Nice. I really like your style.

Chicky · Sat 05/06/2004 22:19:14

it is perfect, i love it

Dart · Sat 05/06/2004 22:49:57

Here's my edit:

1) Redrew the water
2) Redrew the girl
3) Made it a bit more obvious that it's a bag thats falling too
4) Colored the water
5) Added three lensflares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

....

But really, your stuff is great. This is one of the AGS games which I'm really looking forward to in the future. Be sure to finish it soon.

lol love the edit, the lens flairs are particularly dashing. Dont worry the game will be finished, but im not giving dates, as i'm not a big fan of deadlines, itll be released when its ready, and hopefully itll be good
