Alright, its been long enough.

davidpsy · #1 10-20-2005, 03:03 AM

Lets kick start the graphics forums back into high gear. This is not pixel art so please don't criticize it as such, and yes, I did make these. It has been a long time since I've posted anything, and yes I've improved a lot. I've done a lot more than this, but this is what I'm posting for now.

So, enjoy.

I saw the top buildings before through a direct AIM connection. Have you published those somewhere else?

I've shown them to friends of mine, who may have in turn shown them to you.

napo_p2p · #4 10-20-2005, 03:19 AM

Hi friend of a friend (of a friend?). :P

yep ive seen those before. and they are defenitely, defenitely are donald's

TonyRivers · #6 10-20-2005, 03:22 AM

I can testify as a close friend of Donalds that he frequently showed me the stages of his work from the bodies of last year to these beautiful buildings in there progression to what you see now. As I assisted him on sanstratta I can assure all of you that these graphics were produced completely as content of sanstratta and have not previously been released to anyone whatsoever with exception of the sanstratta development team and its affilliates.In conclusion any image or images that might look familiar to you are ovbious leaks from people inside the circle. People can't be trusted much anymore.

napo_p2p · #7 10-20-2005, 03:26 AM

Tony, you make it sound like I am involved in some kind of Graal piracy group

.

Anyhow, those buildings are nice. Way better than my pumpkin .

You should add legal information.

Very nice work, Donald.

NeoJenova · #12 10-20-2005, 04:09 AM

Damn straight out of Ages of Empires or something.

Show this to some gaming company your future is bright.

Lance · #13 10-20-2005, 04:36 AM

Very nice.

haunter · #14 10-20-2005, 05:06 AM

Very nice. The coloring is pretty intense, awesome job.

I suggest working on your perspective. There are probably lots of exercises you could find on the internet, or in drawing books at the library.

Thanks for the comment.
Were you thinking this was intended to be in linear perspective or something? Because I made these intending for them to be in the Graal perpective. I would like you to elaborate on the perspective problems, for my own sake, and because some of the problems may or may not be intended.

protagonist · #16 10-20-2005, 05:40 AM

Beautiful.

I meant perspective issues in the sense that the perspective seemed to change aroung a bit within the images themselves. Like the buildings look like they might be bent a bit funny or such.

alarid0 · #24 10-21-2005, 11:32 PM

that's what I kept telling him =/ and I kept telling him that it was no good
but he likes it that way

well...the only one this is really a problem with is the shack with the green roof

davidpsy · #25 10-22-2005, 12:25 AM

Yeah, the green roof curves downward at the right edge, making it seem like it was an unintended error, and actually it was. But then I realised it makes it look more like a thrown togeather building (screws and bolts keeping it togeather), not something that was planned out like that of modern homes, so I kept it knowing full well I could correct it if I wished, and I considered it intended.

As for the rotated angles of the buildings, I intended for them to be that way, its still in graal perspective, except its rotated. It may look a little funny at first in game, but once you get used to it, you'll learn to love it.

Thank you for all your comments, they fill my heart with joy.

Scott · #26 10-22-2005, 04:41 AM
