Its bugging me..
 
It's nothing amazing yet, well i hope it is when its finished. But im posting because the image is generally bugging me, the perspective of the pillars dont appear right to me.

It may be because ive been working on them and they look this way to me, what do you think?

UPDATES FURTHER DOWN

The pillar width varies too much. Just stick with one size.

Tom 10-26-2006 02:18 AM

Ok i just did what you said and it doesnt look as nice :(

Gambet 10-26-2006 03:12 AM

I'm getting kind of tired of your overuse of the pure white/highlight line on things... It's a nice effect now and then but why would a dirty gray stone have shimmering pure white at it's edge? I think you could expand a lot more as an artist if you didn't always use that same style.

Just an opinion though, I don't care to hear a million opinions about my opinion.. he posted his work here to be critiqued and I'm critiquing it.

I was originally going to do the whole greek apperance but im using a referance of memory from a certain building in Ghost Recon.

Your sidewalk is quite nice, although I would bring the contrast down so that the pattern (assuming it's used as tiles, which you seem to present it as in the example) is less repetative.

smirt362 10-26-2006 05:08 AM

I think it looks fine.

I only have paint, and i take the colours out of real life images, its what i do for most of my stuff.

Is there a way to bring down the contrast in a certain program?



+ Thanks @ Smirt :)

If you have Photoshop 7+ I can tell you how to. However, if you don't - just manually set the color difference lower.

Tom you're a ****ing master. o_O

Crono 10-26-2006 09:03 AM

looks great so far and i love the way you take in opinions and improve your work.

btw konidias has a point xD

Tyrial 10-26-2006 10:04 AM

It looks great man, try adding a graal perspective roof to it, that will fix the perspective of the pillars.

Infernix 10-26-2006 08:59 PM

....Funny cause he didnt rlly even do anything yet people. He wanted to know what was wrong with it because it did not look right to him.

Elk 10-26-2006 09:04 PM
