DimensionWarped Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 No. It's just a gradient with some shit thrown on it. Also the styles for Sonic and Fusion don't match up well, and the stroke effect is cheap and ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sockman Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 So I heard you guys enjoy critiquing background tiles... I'd really like to put some "cooled lava" stuff in place of the Angel Island Advanced grass. (This, after all, supposed to go in a volcano area level). Any pointers? I'd imagine there wouldn't be much to say for such a small sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZFG Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Might add that effect to super sonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Okay, why does grinding cause huge sparks to come out of Sonic? That makes absolutely no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Okay, why does grinding cause huge sparks to come out of Sonic? That makes absolutely no sense. I, actually, have wondered the same thing. His shoes aren't made of metal, but I guess it's just for effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felik Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks for criticizm It's just a gradient Yeah I know, I'll replace gradient with something elsethe styles for Sonic and Fusion don't match up well Should it? I analized many Sonic official logos and never seen that same style of both words, so it should be as it is. and the stroke effect is cheap and ugly Sorry but what is stroke effect? +1 Put some effort into something if you're gonna show it off as if it's amazing. Are you idiot? I didn't show off, I just asked for opinion to improve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZFG Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Okay, why does grinding cause huge sparks to come out of Sonic? That makes absolutely no sense. Its not from the rail, its from the rings. Sonic just collected them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosol Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 well, his SOAP shoes had metal arches. Ever since then, whether Sonic was wearing his SOAPs or not, sparks fly! It's like a custom now. Rubber shouldn't be sliding on metal anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonXVI Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Yeah, in SA2 Sonic wore SOAP Shoes (http://www.soapshoes.com/products/T-Bone_6023.jpg) which are designed with a metal part in the sole specifically for "Grinding". Metal on Metal I guess... Plus any excuse to use fancy Particle effects in a game doesn't always need an excuse Sockman: Looks good, although for "Cooled Lava" would it really have grass on it?

DimensionWarped Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks for criticizm Yeah I know, I'll replace gradient with something else Good. Should it? I analized many Sonic official logos and never seen that same style of both words, so it should be as it is. In this case, you are trying to keep a fluid style for the most part, but are missing some elements like the lack of gradient stroke on the outside. Also, the fact that there are rounded edges on the outside instead of sharp edges is an inconsitency that really hampers the uniformity of the logo. Aside from that, in all cases the logo pieces are either uniform in style or have a very glaringly obvious contrast. For instance, in Sonic and the Secret rings, the beveling and stroke on the outside of the text is uniform to both "Sonic" and "and the Secret Rings", the difference though is font and color as opposed to effects. Sorry but what is stroke effect? A stroke effect refers to any bar on the outside of an image/text that conforms to the shape of the image/text but with a different consistent color/pattern/whatever. In the case of your logo, the strokes were clearly generated with a tool akin to photoshop's stroke style because of the way it curves around edges instead of keeping them sharp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felik Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Oh thanks, I'll try to keep it in mind and remake it, rep up. P.S. You will laugh but I made "Fusion" word in... Microsoft Word because I'm not very familiar to photoshop and I don't know any good program for making logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockman Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Sockman: Looks good, although for "Cooled Lava" would it really have grass on it? What I meant was I'm considering replacing the grass with some cooled magma. I really can't get it right so far, though, so I'm settling for the grass until then. EDIT: Actually, the dead grass doesn't look half bad. I might end up using this, provided I make the grass "deader" near lava areas or something. Plus the grass tiles retain their relative sexiness after being put through Dami's Tile Adapt Tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 a tad too repetitive imo, but its totally something i would overlook while playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felik Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Wow, I like it. These tiles make a really good tandem with this background. What is Dami's Tile Adapt Tool and where can I download it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khorney Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 that's looks cool sockman, kinda cheese like, which makes sense as it would capture air bubbles while cooling etc... whatever, it's fine. the only issue is if it was cooled magma, it wouldn't be red hot like that and still have grass growing on it, so i'd either make it more grey (more cooled), or swap out the grass, but apart from being 'unrealistic' it looks fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironrind Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I must say that's a really awesome looking tile. The grass does look good, but I'm not sure that they are a perfect match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
