Spike Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yes yes yes, a million times yes. That's gorgeous! Makes me wish I had thought of it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_Striker Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 YES! It looks way better than the other one! Not that the other was bad, but this one is way better! I was playing with PS and made this... palmtree thing: Not the best thing in the world, but I think it's the best candy-themed palmtree I'l be able to do, seeing as I can't figure how to do the shading for that gelatin-ish leaves manually.

Delta Hedgehog Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Actually, I LOVE the way it looks! Again, the cake isn't really that great, but everything else is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_Striker Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 That cake was the first tile I did for the stage and I didn't touch it since then. That explains why it isn't that great, almost everything else was redone with time, but the cake no, and at that time my skills with pixel/level art were waaaaay worse than now. I'll come up with something to make it better though, I just need some inspiration (and time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strife Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Is that a new Sonic sprite? Looking good! The stage itself looks quite good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow_Striker Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Those backgrounds... they are too real to be real. (If you understand what I mean.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strife Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I've had such a hard time figuring out which one is better that I'm thinking about making them shift colors depending on how angry he is. xD; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow toilet Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 The one to the left because it looks more terrifying. Think of it like a Xenomorph. Their lack of eyes made it even more frightening of a creature. As far as your guy goes, minus the pupils and it becomes a bit on the scary side which is good.

TailsSena Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Your idea sounds nice, since I can't really decide either.... They both have qualities the other lacks, so it's hard to pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Thanks to Jayextee and Kharen over at Sonic Retro, they gave me a little tutorial about light sources and stuff since Jayextee said Vehement Volcano's tiles lacked contrast from the background, and this is what was produced. I love it and I plan on updated VVZ's tile to reflect this. (Credit to Kharen for the mockup itself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_Striker Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Wow, they are way better than before! Nice work, Delta! After some work, I redid the cake tile from zero: Heavily inspired by Zool. Actually, I did that while looking at it and trying to replicate .

P3DR0 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 It does look better, Delta. Altough those "lava waterfalls", on the background looks weird in my opinion. I mean, the lava shouln't flow directly down, especially because of the mountain landscape which tends to be irregular most of the times. Also, Lava usually cast light, so... At the bottom, i.e, where the mountain meets the lava pool, should have an orange-ish gradient on the mountains. The final result would be something like this: The lava thing would also add some variation (presuming you would do more than one mountain) to the background, which right now, looks pretty boring and copy-pasted. But whatever, that's me being nitpicky as always. @Strife: The left one still looks like a bug, which isn't an evil look, just scary like most of the insects are when you see their faces at close. But the right one, he sure as hell looks pissed of, and I'm not saying that because of the piss-colored eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strife Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 That's a good point, Pedro. Work in progress for Act 1 of the third stage. My main concern is if the darker colors make it look too sinister. xD; (Also, yes, I'm working on adding more detail to that bottom-left building.)

Streak Thunderstorm Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I love EVERYTHING except for the building on the right. Its such an eyesore compared to the beauty you've weaved everywhere left of it. I pray that you're making this multi layered parallax because it deserves it.

P3DR0 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Amazing as always, Strife... Buuuut... I didn't liked the building in the right either. Not just it looks ugly, but it also ruins the flow that you had with the background. It is almost like it doesn't belong to the scene, looks like a NYC building in the middle of medieval japan. Also the orange colors in the background are giving the idea that the location is on fire or something. I would make it more purple/blu-ish like so: (Also I removed the ugly building <3) I dunno, this way it kinda gives that night atmosphere to it and don't draw much of the attention of the player (feel free to change the pallete, made it in like, 5 mins or so, I'm sure you can do better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
