Mockup City (Re-done)

[ArushenP2P]

I made major changes to my mockup city for those who have seen the previous thread that I posted a few years back. I had recently been messing with paint and decided to re-do a lot of things. This is what I have done so far, and please don't mind the shading. I'm still trying to improve . I also threw in a lot of my other stuff i.e. the car and the building so things might seem out of place and not proportional to the player.

As always, I am open to criticism. Oh and any advice on what type of building you would like to see . (I'm trying to make a dense-type of environment or a town)

I managed to pull this early version. It wasn't the most recent, but I basically started from that.

Looks very nice

House and car seem a little small to me, the grass could use some more contrast/1 more darker color, and overall a little AA would go a long way on things like the sidewalk corners, steet signs, and the steet lights.

It all seems a little unfinished, but it looks very promising :3

Looks pretty good, definitely an improvement compared to the older version. I personally think the size of the house is good in comparison to the player. Nvm what Aeko says, he's nub. Although I do agree with his comments on the grass and AA, I've spotted a few jaggies, like on the poles, the sidewalk corners and the car, which is really un-appealing. Other than that.. keep it up. ^_^

It looks great! I don't think the street lamps match the street tiles all too well though. Just my opinion :P It's really an improvement from the picture you linked in the OP though. Well done!

Looks very nice. The buildings are too small, though, but they look fantastic!

Thanks for the reply guys! I honestly haven't touched up on anti-aliasing and this is my focused-attempt. I updated the street sign, and re-did the lamppost. I'm sure I did the AA wrong on one of these. Can anyone give me helpful tips about AA? I think my AA is dark, which is why it's not looking as great.

I can't say I'm a fan of your color choices, but it all looks pretty good.

the front door seems small but overall its nice

Looks good so far!

Honestly don't see any AA in your new post unless it's somewhere I can't see it xD

the curve 1 in this pic has no AA, curve 2 does have AA. Apply this to things that tend to stick out more than they should, or to help add detail,blend something in a bit. It can also appear to fit more into an image that couldnt appear to fit with the set resolution, as you're essentially overlapping pixels into 1 offset color :o It would help things like the white outline on your street sign to appear to be a complete outline instead of white jaggies along the top and bottom of it, and the glass on your street lights appear to not be quickly drawn lines o-o. Applying to much AA tho can blur your image to much and often make it look more like a gradient.


Don't mean to pile it on or anything, but the painted marks on the road should not be completely white ._.

Okay, I re-did the corners, street and sidewalk; I added more saturation to bring out the colors more and then did anti-aliasing on some of them that needs it. How did I do? Aeko, I'll make sure I will do something with the street paint and not make it pure white in further updates. :P

<3 that door concept

[ArushenP2P]

Like usual; I didn't feel too confident about my work. So I entirely redid the sidewalk and street. I put in more effort on the sidewalks and I hope it's much better from the previous!

P.S. Again, don't mind the non-existent AA on the white line.

Looks nicer, but I can see you've done only one corner and rotated it 90 hence creating the same imperfect arc over again. Also the white line seems really harsh, I think you can do without it. Hope this helps
