I was wondering if anyone needs help with any of the sprites? I can't really do anything else but I can make so graphs.
I usaully like doing enemy's and hero's but I'll do walkaboots.

*coughs* SMOKE!

Can we see some of your work? Happy

PS: May I suggest, to whom it may concern, to organize this into the Art thread or Announcement thread. You know, before this thread also gets out of hand.

The one thing I always get hung up on with a game is art... so I might ask you to help me out.... I dunno, we'll need to see some samples.

Ok. If you have the pic hosted on the web then you use the location of the pic in an [IMG] Bracket [/IMG]

eg.
[*IMG]http://www.photobucket.com/drakewild/picture2.jpg[*/IMG]

(Ignore the *stars, they are just there to prevent it from trying to show a pic.)

If you want. You can email the pic to me at paulmyb@highveldmail.co.za and I shall give you the link you need to use in your post. Then you can post up your pic.

A good website to host a picture would be www.photobucket.com - its free.

This is from my unfinished, unrealesed game arcaid.

This is from arcaid also but on the map.

This is from my game Unearthly Dreams. Theres a bunch of critters in there including my big bad, Choas.

This is from my attempt at a G rated game called Waldos World. On the map of coarse.

This is from my game Dead Nights on the map(The black blotch on the building is covering up profanity. Sry!

So these are some of the games I've started. I've got some others floating around but these are the ones I can remember... Hey anyone know any dos-based drawing programs?? (Or ones that you don't use the mouse??)
It would be an enourmuos help to me...

So you are another one of those people who can't stick to making one game and gets bored and always starts new games, finally ending with a huge game list in your OHR folder.

*Join the club

(I think this should be moved to Art forum)
The graphics arnt bad, just those maptile in the second picture are a pain to the eye. They have too many shocking colours and nothing really contrasts together. Try using colours that are closer to each other when making floor graphics.
The forth screen is pretty cool. I would continue with that game. Looking good.
The sprites are average. There is lots more room for shading and more organic lines. They seem very stiff and blocky. Try using bends and such.
The final screen looks really cool. I like they colour usage there. Compared to the second picture, its a nice colour selection. That grey thing looks strange though. I couldent really tell if it was a road or some kind of flattened house. If it is a house it needs some kind of roof.

Ok. Dont take some of these comments harshly. They are just a little bit of constructive critisism.

Gah. This so belongs in Art corner... Sorry.

Your port folio: These are the stages in your development as an artist, it seems. So, I am to assume these are your absolute best to date?

Artist comment:
In some I like the map tiles a lot more than the walk-abouts. In some I like the walk-abouts a lot more than the map tiles. They seem to vary back and forth like so. The battle shots are very plain, but then a lot of us have trouble with this as well. The enemies aren't too detailed. The giant demon thing was impressive, but to the extent of how little detail it had. However, it looks like you got a good grasp on some nice graphical concepts. I'm not the expert, but I can spot em'. It also looks like you're a very balanced person. Keep up the good work.

Thnx yeah the games are from differnt times in my lifes so the tiles and stuff vary... And arcaid is supposed to be contrast cause, After you leave the scary blue area you go to a black sanded place

I really don't mean to sound negative, but those gfx are horrible.
