No hurts my eyes a bit too. Too much use of the highlight color on the water.

In your opinion, adding a wider variety of colors would be better, in OUR opinion, we think this works just fine as it is.
No, there are times when you have to put logic aside for the better of a game. What game portrays everything in a realistic way, ALWAYS, for everything? Have fun with your realistic Mario... oh wait, it wouldn't exist! If you try to apply logic to everything it's just going to get boring.

Also, there was nothing condescending about my post, it was just straight to the point.

Yeah, that is 100% true and goes for books, too. Realism is not always the best :(

I think it might look better on your eyes if It is animated.

No, there's just no reason standing water, especially that of a swamp, should have white caps, and certainly not that many.

I know you artistic sissies think looking good >> logic, but there's certain cases when that's absolute bull****, and this is one of those cases.

ps: youre using way too many outlines
Nah man that is incredibly noisy, and counter-productive to what he's attempting to portray: stagnant, nasty water.

No it's not. If it doesn't look good then it doesn't accomplish the whole point of aesthetics > logic. It just looks bad and disregards logic. My point matters when it looks better BECAUSE it ignores logic.

Well those doors have bars, maybe water is flowing into here, therefore it is moving water.

It's a swamp dungeon. Swamps are stagnant.

Perhaps the pumping system directs the water from the swamp into and out of the building, giving the water motion.

kia345 12-14-2010 04:51 AM
Perhaps, but that still wouldn't explain the white caps (at least, that's what it implies). Water slowly flowing in one direction doesn't work like that. And it has to be flowing slowly if it's coming directly into/out of the swamp, or that would really override the entire explanation that it's a swamp in the first place, making it more of a dirty-river dungeon.


Why is this conversation even happening, christ I am petty

Honestly this thread feels like its turning into a Logic V. Art debate, we should stop now before it completely derails from the point of the thread.

Anyways, awesome coloring by Elk. O and about the pillars and outlines, this should look better.

Now all this needs are some semi run down and corroded statues of this past ancient civilization
