Badniks & Bosses Art

Wow, I've been away a while. Anyway, I've just started on the Eggmobile base, only doing the basic shaping at the moment.

Here is the current progress, please make suggestions and comments as I would like to get the shapes right before I start messing with the shading and additional details. Top image is the shapes with no fill, bottom has basic colouring so that you can see how the object looks as a whole.



(Warning: the image will update with the latest iteration as I make changes)

 

Could you post the original sprite for comparison? Yours looks good but somewhat squashed horizontally. I can't be sure without a comparison with the original, however. (Irrelevant now =P)

Also, it should be noted that someone started work on the Eggmobile base many months ago, but has since apparently dropped off the face of the internets.

 

ok, I did read it before the update I didn't realise I'd saved it when I did an upload to my server so the image here updated. Will finish the changes tomorrow evening, work tied me up this evening I'm afraid.

 

An update


does anyone have a screenshot of it in game?

 

Updated. The left most part of the outer plating disappears behind the ball but I have pull the point a little lower. Adjusted the screen's bottom curve and fixed layering issues.

 

Me thinks the side panel of the front of the eggmobile should be a bit more curved, as I've shown here. Also, the vector needs editing so the front orb underneath isn't behind the large black orb.

 

Mmm maybe I can give it a try with a shiny metallic style at that thing and improve some things... Meh, I need to download Photoshop again... I did a format c: last weekend ^^U

Edit:

Well, this is not a recreation of all original pixels, but a high detail version of it... Mmm I know, it look glossy, I need to edit the shades...

 

Elratauru, that WIP is WIN. Keep at it.

 

That's pretty sexy.

 

Considering my first thought on seeing that was 'Holy crap', yeah, I'd say you should definitely keep cranking on that.

Don't know if you noticed, but the part behind the seat needs a little more effort...

I'm just kiddin' - keep up the good work. I'm liking the metallic front and the window, even if the effects are a little too strong. I think the side plate needs to be curved a bit more - partially because it is in the sprite and partially because I think it looks kind of oddly shaped. I think it should finish at about 45 degrees or so. I'd also be curious whether the bolts would look good repositioned, but to me it's not critical they move. I actually like their size a lot!

 

Mmm maybe, I will make any changes in the shape even if that don't follow the original sprite, I like nice details and shading ^^

Thanks Vinc, I know, Im not drawing at 4X, I can resize the image later, I just wanted to add all details I can in a high res.


Im gonna continue this today I think ^^

Ok, Im gonna upload it right now ^^

 

As it is, it's looking magnificent, but I'm wondering whether it's going to suffer the same curse as the rings. Could you post a recent version of it within the mockup that's widely being used so it can be compared with the rest of the game's art?

 

Well, thanks, but first I want to upload this to the database...but, I need a hand here people, my connection sucks and I cant upload 20mb without timming out... so I cant upload anything on a http... someone can lend me a Ftp to upload this until someone can upload it to the database?... I hate my connection ^^U
