I made a character for my new game. Since I'm about to be happy with his style (all characters in the game will be about 3-4 heads high), I don't know if he looks right. The problem is: he has to be 16-19 years old, but I'm affraid, that he looks younger. The same problem, like in FFVII...

What do you think?

Here is he:
2x Ã,  2x

Screenshoot:



---edit---
The character "K" problem is fixed...Ã,  8)

So I've altered the picture a little bit. Everybody thanx for feedback...

1. (Evil, boojiboy) I removed the shadows from the street. The light is coming from above and there is nothing to drop the shadows. I was simple afraid, that the street looks to plain. How it looks now?

2. (Evil, GarageGothic, boojiboy) I've altered the colours of the purple houses. They are no more SO purple, but they are still purple. It is ok now?

3. (boojiboy) I can not change this picture a lot, but I'll look out next time. It is possible, that the roofs are not in the centre. Is it so bad or can I say: "It is my style"?Ã,  I can't take the right house away, 'cause it is important in blocking the sight... Is it so bad? I thought, it is right...Ã, 
Only one door is in the middle of the house, the other are not.

4. (ManicMatt, GarageGothic, boojiboy) Yes, they are shown through an extreme wide angle lens. I was trying to show the whole street, but also to show the point where the player stays. The house in the middle is important, so i don't have to make very bright walkable area.

I fought a couple of days against this background and don't know if I won...Ã, 
It was easier with pencil, as I hadn't those pixels. They are simple to big.Ã,  :'(

So I need a little bit feedback, plzz... (Something like: "this pix suxx" isn't enough, sorry )

[EDIT:]

He-he... Juicy, nyam-nyam...Ã, 
Can I order her to me via Internet? How much costs the delivery?Ã,  :
1x 2x

I didn't make the animation, I think you see the point. A little bit more 3d: perspective and light&shadows...

PS. That all are only my IMHO...Ã, 

EDIT: sorry, the light/shadows look a little bit odd, since I wanted to make the right side darker first.

she looks cute...

now a little bit damage to her clothes and hair, make her cry and screaming, and she is in distress...Ã, 

don't forget the crown!
1x 2x

2 BaRoN: May be you can tell us more about this girl? Till now we know only that she is "Miss Galactic 2997" and she ist in distress.

How old is she? Does she really have to wear some long dress? Is she allready "in distress" or is she there soon?

2 Da_Elf: Here is she withoutÃ,  "fancy party dress"Ã,  :

Perils of Gwendoline

May be this can be helpfull.

Since she is "Miss Galactic 2997", her legs have to be a little bit longer. Legs are allways the 50% of the man height, so if we made her 5 heads high, her legs have to be 2.5 heads. More - better (look at warcraft elves)Ã, 

And of course there is simple no point to use some beauty in the game/film/whatever without showing her...
So remove her hair from her breast and alter her dress and shoes - she is "Miss Galactic 2997"...Ã,  8)

If you draw a girl, put her feet together, this looks more femini(?)

Make her lips red...

May be some kind of jewelry?


Here is the short paintover.Ã,  original

I know, I'm a shovinist pigÃ,  ::)Ã,  sorry..

May I?Ã, 

Here is my little (29x45) snowman:
1x Ã,  Ã,  Ã, 2x


2 punkAGSskater: IMHO it is better to use "upload without resample" option, and then "IMG HEIGHT" tag in forum.Ã, 
look here

I'm afraid, I can't take part...Ã,  :'(

I've got promoted and have to go to another town. So I have much to do and no internet at first...

I'm not soooo bad, Shade! I didn't ever think about making animal porn of your sprite. I thought it is a girl in a Fûrlîng costume and I can undress her...Ã, Ã,  :

oh... I had an Idea, but didn't realize it...
I was allways tired after work this week. And now it is to late.Ã,  :'(

Working suxxxx!

awesome picture! The girl ist very cute. IMHO she looks better without makeup (second picture). But it is possible that I simple like girls without makeup. :

Only one thing: Her left hand. I tryed, it is painfull to make something like she did.Ã, 

2 Igor: The boy looks in the false direction...Ã, 

Thank you all for the feedback. I think, I'll remake the picture and show it once more...

to 2ma2: thank you for the paintover. I see what you mean, but unfortunately I can't use it on this picture. This picture shows the willage between 6:00 and 18:00, so it can't be so dark... :(Ã,  I'll use your idea later - it will be some night action later in the game...

to all: sorry but I can't use any laterns on this picture... I just wanted to make some cloudy day but instead of this made a night. My fault, sorry...

to EagerMind & Sektor 13: aha! There are to few details on the picture... I'll try to make the next better...

to Mad-Hatter & Sektor 13: No outlines at all or no such outlines?

to Mad-Hatter: the temple is very important but it is closed right now and nobody is in there. I can't explain more since it is one of the quests. sorry...

to all: one more question! Whould you play this game after you saw the screenshot? If yes/not - why? (For example: I would never play a game with such awefull graphics! )


Later I'll write more about this game in my blog http://yarooze.blogspot.com/, so you can chek it out, if you want to know more. There are allready some details to see over there...

Sorry, I was working longer today. It was a long day...Ã, 

Ok. We have so many entrys! Let's see them...

* Krysis: I don't know which one is your entry, but since the invisible man is uhm... invisibleÃ,  I count the cool night sight suit as entry. Looks dangerous...Ã,  8)

* yarooze: uhm...Ã,  :

* SergioCornaga: The only one made female uniform! May be some kind of boarding school? Very cute...Ã, 

* Esterlin: Very impressive! Is he really correct? Every button? I like him.

* Mikko: Was that really my sprite? You guys push my sprite far over its limit.

* "Acqua" Akumayo: This one may say: "If you want to learn the art of kung-fu..." heh-heh...

* Ha Ha I am OK: Bumbarash? One of thoose poor peasants, that imperialist throw into the war. I like him, he looks cute...

* ManicMatt:Ã,  :o :o :o oi... I'll get nightmares tonight... Which country has THAT as uniform?Ã,  Ã,  Very spooky...

* Shade: One of the round headed knights! Very nice entry. I hope it isn't blood (not his blood) on his robe...

* raddicks: Since your entry is funny, I don't think that THIS guy is worth to win. He had his chance 60 years ago...Ã, 

* Flukeblake: Civilian! Cool! What is he? Looks funny...

* Alliance: Another round headed knight! This one visits people that don't like adventure games and punishes them (I mean, he punishes people, not games)

* CaptainBinky: Ave caesar morituri... SPQR... ghm... quesque tandem... sorry my latin is not very good... I mean: impressive... Only an hour after I started this competition...Ã,  :o



So boyz and girls. We had many very good and different entrys. Now I have to say, who wins... I don't like to do that, but I have to...Ã,  :'(

At first I'm glad to tell you, that every participant got this keyring: so you'll never gonna loose your keys in the future...

And the winner is... tada!

CaptainBinky with his gladiator:

Congratulations! Here is your trophy:

It is your turn.

May be this is an obvious pose, but I wanted to make about the same sprite like Dreadus or Ben304. I just wanted to make cloacked vampire with about the same pose...Ã, 

It's rather dark. I like that you've turned away against classic depictions of darkness using blue and purple hues, but you might need a lightsource to clarify the background a bit. Perhaps from the window and through the doors cracks. The puddle is a nice touch composition wise. Perhaps use it to reflect a lightsource from the toppy building.

This is a willage in misty Albion (this is a fantasy land, not England). It is a daytime but there isn't much light through clouds. So I thought, I can not make to much light/shadows. May be I can make some light in the window of the house but the temple is empty and closed. How would you solve this problem?

What do you think, may I add something or are there enough details on he picture. Is it boring?

I'm fighting against backgrounds for my game. What can you say about picture like that? What would you change?

Ah, right. I thought I had to keep within the outlineÃ,  oh wellÃ, 

I don't know. The rullz told nothing special about it. "An image is supplied, and entrants color. A general theme is given, but it is optional. The winner hosts the next AGS Coloring Ball."

Till now it was allowed to alter the sprite. here are two CB-winner with altered sprites:

Hat added: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=27387.msg348130#msg348130

I think we can discuss it for the future. My opinion, the host has to choose if he allows altering or not and what kind of.

For me it is ok and this time I allowed to alter the sprite a little bit, to make some uniform. As I said: "If you wish, you can give him some kind of weapons or tools." I also have nothing against big hats or whatever...

Of course it is not allowed to remake the complete sprite.

PS. Have no fear, your sprite is awesome...Ã, 

It is awesome, what did you make with my sprite! I like the entrys!Ã, 

Can I enter to?Ã,

Heh-heh, more lo-res porn?Ã,
