Levels & Items Art

I think it's an interesting point that should not be too easily ignored, but I'm also not sure exactly what to do about them and it's been bothering me for a few days now. We can always revisit the blocks at anytime in the future, so I think you can proceed with the other art you're doing for now.

 

Don't know if its been decided on what style the backgrounds will be using, so I will just chuck something I did into the mix.

 

Expanding on it, I felt it needed more detail since it is HD.

 

Looking great! Possibly a few more flowers?

 

Here, I've done it, smoother edges:

4X Comparison:



The size I use to work on:

 

The light blue flat fit, (the centre rectangle) looks too narrow. And I think it needs to stand out more.

We can se that they use the same resolution but with a limited color pallet.

So I don't like the EHz blocks because the don't transmit the personality the original art had.[/quote]

Point taken. I have to ask, does anyone else feel this way about the EHZ blocks? If so I could work on changes. If not, as of right now they're considered done.

Given my limited knowledge of the art deco style, it seems like the rounded edges would be more appropriate, as given in the new example right above this post.

I have thoughts of having a few of each style within the level, so as to prevent monotony, though.

 

Im using, Photoshop, but I guess since most people are using Illustrator, it wouldn't be hard to make it in that. I just bought Illustrator but I didn't use it for this because I knew more about Photoshop.

 

With quality like that it doesn't matter what you make it in.

 

The Big Emerald is finished!

 

Looks very tasty Master Emerald! Lime flavour? Great job once again ^^

 

Thanks! Here, it's UPLOADED



Wee! My own Retro Hack Generator BG!

 

Some updating, I do plan on experimenting with things, since though I like the style of the characters and such, I also like some of the artwork that is going around.

 

Looks nice, but I wouldn't keep the vertical lines that were in the original graphics since they weren't supposed to be seen.

And then, on the other hand, I've noticed that the original background had these green lines with two-pixel wide pixels (if it makes any sense), as if they actually wanted those to look pixelated... something like the background trees in the original Green Hill, perhaps?
