The trees and grass has sharp detail, on the contrary, the building has a blurry soft detail.
Maybe one more thing is the difference in the large tree trunk in comparision to the smaller trees.

But over all, nice work, very easy on the eye.

Yea...you have to note that this is just a test thing...this is only a few days worth of work, and we are showing off some quick stuff, I can garuntee that if what we have shown didnt take your breath away, that the finished product will.

You must not know very many people, then. I'm self-consious about that, and that comment only gave me a boost on my ego side (). Either way, I think this:

Sums that up well.

If I wanted to, then I would. But, I have better things to do (and to work on, for that matter). If I was 'jealous' and 'bitter', then I can assure you that I would've proven to you that I was better than him by now. But even so, I wasn't jealous and bitter in the first place, so quit with your nubish yelling plz

Please do prove that you are better than he is.

to jagen: i never said it was "perfect", he has a very bad attitude, i dont know what the hell his problem is.

"You can see a pattern in the grass
The leaves are OK, but you can see the outline around the tree top. The roots are also pretty bad."

thats very constructive

Very very nice, i know Muler from DoD.
He's okay but he likes PK and promotes it and tried to get it on DoD so i'm kidna pissed that he's trying to make DoD more of a PK server..
And good it's based on SoM, perhaps even make the heads hair move when walking like on SoM ^ ^

Well unless you use over 200 tiles for grass like me then its gonna look like a pattern.

Eh, I think you're overreacting here. He doesn't have to be able to make something better in order to judge if something is good or not. You don't have to be able to cook a fabulous meal in order to judge if something tastes good or not. That's silly.

So he made one comment without backing it up... I really don't see how he's slamming the graphics. If he came in and said "OMG THAT JUST TOTALLY SUCKS" then I would agree that he is just bashing, but he's not. He's picking out certain things, which I mostly have to agree with.

I'm just trying to stop you from looking like an arrogant conceited fool. I mean bloo kat is good, but he's not like super amazing spectacular. Really, you shouldn't be telling Deek to make something better, when you're not even the person who made the work. I mean you're getting offended over Deek talking bad about somebody elses graphics.

Because you cannot. Most of the people I have talked to(who know GFX) have said that bloos style is much better than yours and his work ethic blows your out of the water.

C'mon mr. GFX god, show me your the best.

No. Usually, if you use a 64x64 pattern, it's not going to look like it's repeating at all (that is, if you do it well enough). Like for example, SOM's use of grass tiles. Which is irony, because it seems Bloo tried to use their idea to represent his grass.

Because you cannot. Most of the people I have talked to(who know GFX) have said that bloos style is much better than yours and his work ethic blows your out of the water.

Most of the graphics people have seen by me is old, anyways. Most of the new stuff I make I never finish due to laziness. I'm not really bothered about his work eithic. Alot of people work harder then I do.

C'mon mr. GFX god, show me your the best.

I've already repeated myself more than once, I don't have to say it again.

This isnt the only thread. ANYTHING bloo makes he has something bad to say about it. He is the main reason bloo left in the first place a while back. I am not the "conceited fool". I cannot make GFX, I am just sticking up for bloo.

Eh, it's bloo's problem though, not yours. Maybe he finds something wrong with everything bloo makes? I mean it's not like it's impossible. Everyone has flaws and there is always room for improvement.

It really does seem like deek is picking on bloo, deek never was finding things wrong with my work. I dont really see whats wrong with bloos work it looks good to me.

There is a big difference in constructive critisism and plain "bashing".

I have seen nothing "amazing" from Deek, yet he talks like he rocks with Picasso and shiz.

Deek a while ago said I could have everything from this screenshot for sans because he thought wc was not using it. But he was so I told deek I would just make a tree like it which I did and I'm not showing now. Deek made this like a year ago I think.

He can talk about how great he is all he wants. You shouldn't get so worked up over it. If you know for a fact that he isn't that talented, that is all you should need. You don't need to sit here and rank bloo over him, you're only adding fuel to the fire.

Maybe he's bashed him in other threads, but like I said, I really don't see his post in this thread as bashing, it looked more like he was just pointing out some problems with the graphics, which I think most people would agree with.

How can you expect bloo to get better if everyone just tells him his graphics are great? You're not being any better yourself, sitting here slamming Deek the way you are.

Oh, what's this? You're sounding like you aren't bashing me?Hypocrite. There's a fine line between bashing someone and giving them critisism. If I was bashing him, then I could arguably tell you that I would insult him in other topics besides his work.

I don't like Picasso's work.

I never asked deek to post in this thread, he likes to act VERY over confident and conceited. Let me find a quote from him before.

LoL, uhh yeah, I don't think he needs your permission to post.

It's not like I'm trying to defend him for every post he's made towards bloo kat, I'm just pointing out that his post in this thread didn't seem that offensive to me.

You can't punish him in this thread for posts he's made elsewhere.

And I never asked you to comment me. That's how senseless that post was.

And I might add: If you don't think I'm soo great, then why did you PM me a while back asking me to work for your server?

Deek, it is me anU, from Bravo, how would you like to GFX for me on my new server? I need good GFXers and Scripters.

And now your saying I'm not good at GFX? Well, which one is it, liar?

[Soul-Blade]

Sorry, I really don't want to take sides or anything, but I agree with deek & konidias.

Bloo is obviously a great graphics designer; any sane person can see that. But deek is also amazing. Anyway, I'm not here to say one is better then the other, or whatever, I'm just gonna say it looked pretty reasonable what he said.

I know for a fact, as I am living proof, that pointing out flaws rather then saying how great something is will only improve people. When I used to get complimented a ton from Murasamune screenshots, it got my ego so high I was blinded by it. When people started to dislike my work, or start to compliment Faheria or something, I slowly began to lesson my ego, and eventually I have a small amount of pride in what I do, rather then an ego. From that day on every time I make a graphic I improve and learn more.

What I'm trying to say is rather then see that he posted all negatives, see that he gave you areas to improve upon, then improve on it. That way, next time, there will be nothing to complain about and they will compliment. That is how progression is made, not by complaining and saying how they insulted you...

Precisely. And, from what I see, he hasn't even taken my compliments seriously. What good is it to 'constructively' critisize someone if they aren't even going to improve their work from it? Sorry if I'm not so peachy poofy crystal unicorn princess nice when I critisize people's work, but it's better that I say "This is of poor quality. You need to work on this and this and this" rather than "OMG BLOO NICE WERK OGM WERK ON MY SERVER I GIV U LVL 4 RC111!111 "

Well you have got to understand that when people make graphic they put a lot work into and when people critisize it they get a tad offencive.

Of course. That is why people should not say "Damn, that graphic is complete crap. Look at how terrible it looks", and deek did not say anything near that.

They shouldn't let that get in the way, though. That's the problem that we're having.

[MadWolf]

Everone has their own style of art, so no one person can 'ownzers' another person. It's all about opinion. Got it? Good. I got tired of reading Deek repeat himself, and Mark cycling useless words.
For god sakes, just shutup already. If I said what Deek said (which I would have most likely if I saw the new image before he did) would you have gone berserk on me? I highly doubt it, you just have a sterotype on him since Bloo and him dont get along.
See Donalds signature? Ya, shutup already. I'm on Deeks side with this, and that's because you're the biggest hypocrit on these forums right now.
Hypocrit.
Yep, you got it.

PS. Asking Kai to close this thread.

Mark. I'm ashamed to work for your server when you act like this. Stop. After working for 1-2 days, and doing a lot of good, but then seeing this, I'm not exactly motivated to do any more work.

[Nick1988]

I don't see the offense in Deek's post. He was just pointing out some stuff Bloo should work on. You don't need to get all defensive and all, you could have just said something like "This is just an early screenshot of the graphics he's working on", and just take his criticisms as normal feedback. Your overreacting.

That, then heck.. The style used to make the braches look like they twist out then down is great XP

The only problem I have with it are the weird white dots/lines around the edges of some things.. Like it was scanned and touched up, but not gone over again (GK's GFX share that problem, around the edges you can see gray and white spots.. Really ugly)

I don't scan my work though, I use the mouse.. My scanner fizzled and died a few months back, so that's not even an option for me.

Anyways, nice trees, and what I can see of the building XP

And on another note.. You people, all of you... Are freaking insane. There's been this huge fight going on about me, and I wasn't even told about it o_o

Thanks. I made that tree a long time ago, whever I was working for Warcaptain for the supposedly "New" Enigma server that he was working on. Then, of course, we got into an argument, and long story short I dropped out. That tree does have it's downfalls, and the trees that I can make now are probably twice as better than that. The way the leaves are all jumbled up on the branches makes it look fugly IMO.
