Aaaa! Disco King's stuff is awesome but so is Drex's.

Can't decide... Can't decide! BRAIN ANEURISM!

Yeah, that's exactly like what happened with the 2 from the title card in that thread a little while ago. The way it's shaded it actually should get a bit sharper.

(I had not noticed how much the tail looks like a razor blade until now!)

Oh man, I'm really digging that 5-step cel-shaded Buzzer with no shine.

Nice job with the Masher.

No, BAD job. Looks like the original sprite was only vectorized and removed some stuff.

My major gripe about it is that it doesn't seem cartoony enough, such as the other main art is (Sonic, Tails).

Really? I don't think it looks robotic enough!

Can't decide...

This is exactly why I think there should be 2 sets... Both look great, with their different style.

It's just a matter of personal oppinion, but I'd like both to be included.

These are just normal discussion that always go into game development. Part of maintaining artistic control is sometimes, unfortunately, cutting very good work.

I think maintaining one set will ensure a higher quality project. Maybe when everything is done, we can talk abou alternative sets (it shouldn't be too tough) but for the purpose of getting this project done, we should be working towards one, single goal.

EDIT: And I gotta agree about the masher. While I appreciate the effort the dude put into it, it really doesn't look very good, nor does it match the style the projct is going for.

This is just criticism, don't take it as a flame or anything, nor am I trying to discouage people from contributing. Try again, perhaps?

We've got two almost finished buzzers in a week or so, so I don't think doing both will decrease the quality or anything. It's not like there's so many badniks in the game.

With that said, I want to encourage both DiscoKing and the vector artists to keep doing their great work, and all the other people to keep offering criticism equally on both sides.

This is my view on it as well. For a start it's a raster graphic! I haven't even opened inkscape yet. That was just a rough piece that I did, more like an outline, that I used to validate my account.

I plan on starting from scratch on it some time this week.

Quicky/kwappy edit:



I vouch for Drex's version - Drex just needs to fix the face so that it's bit like #4 as well as fix the perspective problem on the bottom segment of the bee

I still go with #2.

Well obviously as Exodus said himself it was just a very quick draft. Of course he's going to be fine-tuning it some more.

And I don't like the idea of having two different styles, at least not yet. I say continue to focus on the cartoon-ish style that Vincent has done excellently with.

About the "sets" we will not support a CG version of Sonic 2 HD.

Thus 3D DiscoKing's marvellous result, and the need of properly testing 3D on BG, items and Boss Veichles S2HD will use 2D art drawings for all the rest. Including Characters and Badniks

Once this project will be "closed" we will consider the "packs" option, not before.

Good choice. Sounds good to me.

And that art by Drex quoted above me really does look great, actually. The shading definitely fits with the rest.

Sounds good, I really can't spare 2-3 weeks to finish the rest of the enemies anyways. The buzzer was just made for fun. You either need to go pure 3D or pure vector for a project like this.

With the Buzz-bomber
I animated the flame.

[Exodus]

Is that how it's animated in-game?
