Remember This. Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hmm, It seems like there is suddenly a mini-influx of pixel art here. Well, after advice I got from my first piece, here is the aforementioned run-down house, with plenty of texture this time: Comments and Criticism please, and don't afraid to be harsh. PS: Legacy of Me is my devART name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VercettiVice Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 That looks just flat out awesome. You payed very good attention to detail and chose a great pallet. My only advice would be to add some scattered, slightly darker, pixels on the wood attached to the windows. I think it would give more of a 'wood' effect. Great job nonetheless.

Remember This. Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 Thanks a lot, it took a pretty long time to do I must admit... And I reckon you are right about the wood on the windows, I'll keep that in mind for my next piece. By the way, check out my avatar, its my first attempt at non-isometric pixel art.

PCJ. Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 It looks good, but the walls need more texture, they look too plain. Also, the top row of bricks looks way to saturated, and the angle of the shutter on the far right window, first floor looks a bit dodgy. But it's looking very good.

uNi Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Looks great, I just don't like that left side of the roof, just standing there intact, looks weird with the rest of it. Other than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottae Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Looks great, I just don't like that left side of the roof, just standing there intact, looks weird with the rest of it.Other than that. I agree, if the roof has fallen in, the wall will be slightly damaged and definately not as straight as it is. Other than that, it's excellent. Lots of detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remember This. Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Thanks for all the good comments, and I will keep the bad ones in mind for future pieces. PCJ: I know I cocked up on the open window angle, I couldn't seem to get it right. Uni + Ottae: Now you mention it, the roof does look weird. It looks too new to go with the rest of the house. Anyway, thanks again for the comments, if you have anymore they will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViceDog Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Viddy has competition. Looking good though. You have got to put some scenery around it though, with only a white background the real sense of a 'rundown' building isn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 You're getting much better. The graff seems a little out of place, maybe blend them in a bit more. Some nice brick/drip/wood texture in there.. your palette works quite well. Though, the inside windows shouldn't be that dark. There's no need to slap your name and title in there, maybe, make yourself a little logo and place that next to it. The NPA text slightly spoils it, and also maybe consider transparent bg. Overall, a grand improvement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remember This. Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) Viddy has competition. Don't let him see that! But I'll bet you anything he can hand me my ass on a plate if we had a pixel competition tomorrow. I'll wait... And yeah, for now I am just working on single buildings, but considering the amount of feedback I have gotten over this piece I may just expand on it. And Venom, your comments too have been considered. I definitely reckon I could make something more out of this now, I'll get to work on it tomorrow. More comments welcome - anything I need to improve etc. (Way too many smilies in that post!) Edit: I decided against adding more in the end. I don't really know what to add to the scene by way of a background, however be sure that my next piece will have everything. Especially cars. I suck at cars and need to practice them, hence why so far I haven't put any cars in my pieces. Edited May 22, 2007 by Remember This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember This. Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Yup... I'm totally stuck on cars. Anyway I'm doing a Tudor style oak beam house now, so maybe I'll add the cars in when I'm done. Oh yeah, and this just got fav'd on DevART twice! Woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
