So where did Lucas go shit house with the new trilogy?

How could it be improved?


Bt

Jimi Hendrix rocked.

Robert Plant rocked.

Bo poses.

But, he poses well.

Fizzi,

That's amazing!  The desert surface and the mountains were really what I was going for.  I'm going to use this paintover to help me create my own - wow.  Thank you!

$$$$$$ not ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪


Makes me sad, is all.

Here is a link, to a thread in the CRITICS LOUNGE

Click here for a list of paint/animation programs

Also, being new, you should read the first post in this thread.  Queen Kara has set up some nice orientation links to get you familiar with the site.  Pay attention; you could learn a lot there.


Good luck in your endeavour.

My only problem is the edges are too "burned".Ã,  Try anti-aliasing less, or design the picture larger & have a program shrink it for you.

Yeah, like I said - this pic is more like an "outline" for what I wish to accomplish in the end.  A quick "mock-up" if you will, to give me an idea of where to go.   

Maybe I should try designing the pic larger, though, and shrinking it.  That's a cool idea, thanks!

Hey folks.

Okay, so what I'm trying to create here is a background in lo-res, 320x200 - a desert scene, much in the vein of later Sierra backgrounds.

I made this test screen to guide me; I know it looks like shit.  I just want a few pointers in the right direction.

I want it to have a western US desert feel to it, like Arizona's deserts - ala the Catci.  These colors I know are way to warm... but I also want the cracked ground look.   If anyone has any suggestions and paintovers, I welcome them please.  I'd really like to try to lick this one.



So, have at it - please!

Bt

I think it looks like a perfect lo-res Sierra sprite!  Bravo!

Good luck with a remake; I'd love to see one.  I enjoyed PQ2 quite a bit.

It bugs me (sorry if it'sbeen mentioned before or someone explained why) is that in episode V Ben Kenobi's ghost seems to know nothing at all about Luke and Leia being brother's, whereas in ep. III he is witness of the birth.

He never says he doesn't know of Leia.

He merely says "That boy is our last hope."
To which Yoda replies "No, there is another."

Those lines, however, are more for the audience, as in 1980 they kept audiences in suspence for three years as they waited for the sequel.  One must remember that these movies did come out sequentially, and the audiences at the time did not have the "glut" of Star Wars related information that we do now.  It was a film/dialogue suspension/tension builder.

That young Padawan in that scene was Lucas's son, Jett.


I wish George Lucas would fuck around with the original Star Wars trilogy more.  I think the 1977 release sucked major ass, and if I had my druthers, I'd replace it all with CG.  I'm actually glad that one can't own the original trilogy on DVD, as it stinks like rotten crotch.

While on the subject of Star Wars... http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/238514
STAR WARS TRANSITIONS!

Star Wars transitions have ALWAYS been that way, ever since the 1977 release....... the transitions are an homage to 30's and 40's Flash Gordon serials, much like Star Wars was in the first place.

Try Sophocles,

I reccomend it.  Great buy for the price.

My opinion is that the new movies suck and will always suck, even if they weren't crap, because new movies should never have been made. Star Wars was fine the way it was, and George is a dickhead. I hate him, I hate the new movies, and I refuse to catalogue them in my brain as being apart of the Star Wars I know and love. I'm so fucking sick of now having to specify "the original trilogy" when I want to say, "I love Star Wars". This whole situation shits me, I hate him, I hate the movies. They can all go to hell, and they suck.

There. Take that, y'all. Yo.

You are literally angry with rage!

Bt

Oh my god... I dind't think ANYONE but me remembered the Mr Boogidy movies!Ã,  Those were great.

Short Circuit... LOVE IT.

Oh oh... remember another Wonderful World of Disney movie... Not Quite Human?Ã,  There were a couple, and they were so fun.

We're the same age, Potch.  It was our era, I suppose.


Bt

Where the Wind Blows - animated, Roger Waters score.... crazy.

The Flight Of Dragons - I believe this was a Rankin-Bass production

The BRAT Patrol - a Disney TV movie, but I dug it.

Mr. Boogidy - Again, another Disney TV movie.

Flight of The Navigator - saw in in the theatres, 1986.

I could think of more, but I'm drunk and tired.

Rich,

  Well, I just got my internet connection back running, so I would have wished you tidings yesterday.  I remember yours, because it's a day before mine.  And to those who have sent me birthday IM's, I totally appreciate and dig it.  Hell, some of my friends who live in the same town as me haven't called yet!  It's good to be a member of the AGSForums. 

May the Force be with you, always.  And shit.


Bt

Saw it last night at midnight.  I loved it; it was a great way to spend my 27th birthday.

It's a movie, not a bible.  I was entertained.


Bt

Bernie,

   I think you have an excellent style of art, and I would love to see a tutorial from you.  I feel that one could learn quite a bit from one of your tutorials.


Bt

Don't quit.

We're all dying a slow death anyway, so why not enjoy your eventual demise with a glut of excess in your youth?


I quit for a while; then I started up again casually.  Try moderation.


Bt

Some people will just take love, affection and orgasms from whoever they can.  I say run with it, you sluts!
