Shadow of the Comet

oops.. the edit didn't bring the post to the top ( and that will get me more attention ) see post above

Some modifications :

Somehow those black straps look kinnda weird

and here's how the whole thing gets together (note that this is a test background )


another one :

replaced the collar with something more like a hood. added something like an light chest armour + pads on his arms and knees.

and the second one on another test-purpose background ( with a piece of the gui i'm working on )

ok.. this is supposed to be the main character :

he's a space pirate ( some of you may recognize him as the main character of mad jack the pirate cartoon on which i heavilly based him )

sooo... he looks like a pirate but not so much a space pirate.. any ideas how to add him some futuristic space look ?

here's another one... it is supposed to be the main bad character of the game... i was trying to make him look like a mafia boss toad alien.

oh... by the way... anyone can give me tips on animating them ?

don't know if this can help you with the werewolf but here goes :

hey.. no problem but i won't animate them for you, sorry but i'm not to good at animating. so if you guys want some characters just write what you want in more detail

here's another image

the main thing that i was trying out here was the gui ( is it good ? ) and how it looks all together. ( note : the background is just for testing purpose hence it's crappy quality )

changed a bit here and there.. note that this is a quick ( read crappy ) edit.

thx all..
all of these were supposed to be aliens of diffrent races ( the explorer being human ) so thats where some strange colours ( skin 'n eyes ) come from.
earlwood : yeah i dont really like the hands of these characters, if i'm going to make a game with them i'm gonna correct them, also i think that the explorer type guys arms are to short. ( but i don't see anything wrong with his shoulders ).
Another thing that caught my attention were the teeth of the purple-slug-type-guy(?)... they seem kinnda flat to me.
Now i wonder how i'll be able to animate them perhaps i'll do it today if i have some time. (animations could really give them some character)
thx for all the replies and keep them comming.
Oh.. and Herr Stein it really was something about thirty minutes.

I was really bored today so i drew a few cartoonish characters ( took me about 30 minutes ) I liked the outcome and i want to know what others think.

looks very nice and the animations are pretty smooth. 2 things that you could improve are his left foor when standing, it looks pretty odd. and you could also add some head movment while he's walking.

well, yes it is not actualy a paintover but i heavily based him on guybrush to get the right stance and animations.
ohh.. i also need a nice name for him. any ideas ?

so here are 2 backgrounds waiting for suggestions, criticism etc.
the backgrounds still need some touch ups ( rock highlights blurring )
everything is supposed to be MI1 style.

ok... i've redone the stars made a reflection in the water for them and drew a new moon... how is it now ?

Farlander : hmm.. maybe it's just me or the light reflection on the left is a bit to wide. i've been playing with your sky tutorial and i'm just wondering if you blurred the stars somehow or are they a flat colour (the jpg seems to be blurring everything)
Edit : oh.. and how did you drew those larger stars ? i'm trying but yours look muuuch better.

yeah those stars are much better... thx.
yeah... the moon looks like some kind of ugly button... i must correct it.
i still think the tree on the right looks kinnda crappy... anyone got any ideas ?

I have just created my first background for a game i'm making and i want to know your opinion on this one and suggestions how to improve it (it was supposed to be monkey island 1 style) the most crappy things in my opinion are the moon, tree and the ground
soo... here it is :
