Gotta go out so I can't finish this right now.

A little concerned about the noise/contrast, but I'll see how it works out first.

I mostly like the floor, if you dial down the contrast it might be neater but it works as it is right now. But the table is all kinds of off, the original looked like a few boards of crudely-worked wood that retains its natural texture or whatever, yours has lots of additional lines that make it look like it has been worked further and yet there is still the funny lines from the original, except they now look worse because you interpreted them as rather harsh and dark. Hope this helps.

I'll admit it's a bit more square but square doesn't necessarily mean bad. I'm trying to keep to the shape as much as possible, but it was a decision I made based on the design I was going with. I ended up rounding it off anyways. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by lost charm.

Noise and busyness seems to be an issue here, and I'm going to try to resolve it. Mostly with the floor, however. I may lessen the detail going on with the table, though.

It went from an almost cubical/rounded kid's play-room table to just...a table.

Unfortunately, the high sky contrast is lost in your version. I think you should try to give this piece the bright feel again. You know, the transition from bright blue to darker blue.

Great job on that last one Dusty

I'm aware and it was a conscious decision. To achieve the high contrast it would take way more colors to do it smoothly, as I originally tried to use the provided details but I felt the dithering/transition with them were way to sudden and made it look messy. I may attempt to rework that somehow, though.

The perspective of the castle is worrying the hell out of me...

Hmm, taking quite a bit longer to do this than I had originally thought!

DustyPorViva · #13 07-24-2010, 08:30 PM

Gettin' there! Had a lot of problems with the "D" and "A" as they took the longest to do... Don't know if I'm going to apply a texture to the letters yet, we'll see.

WIP for those interested:

Planning to add anti-aliasing?

To the exterior? Thought about it. Not sure yet, as in the game the logo is drawn as a sprite so wouldn't be able to have proper AA. However, just for the sake of a better picture I might do it.
