Title: Concept art for a competition
Post by: Mushy on April 24, 2013, 06:54:05 pm: Ok my class entered some bullshit competition where we have to come up with an idea for a game which I don't really know much about, they are doing all the hard stuff like script, story etc and they asked me to design the art

Don't know what the game is about, but I liked the idea of something like this so I went with it

Obviously I want it to be the best I can make it, so destroy my rectum with critique #yolo #swag

Post by: chadz on April 24, 2013, 07:11:35 pm: very nice - and the 4 hours part makes it even more impressive

Post by: Mushy on April 24, 2013, 07:21:01 pm: thanks guys :D As an artist, I only usually see the flaws in my work, probably why I think it looks worse than it actually is

Post by: Necrorave on April 24, 2013, 07:55:47 pm: I cant critique it fairly considering I can't even make the "Figure" part of a stick figure look right.

Although, I will say that I like the way things seem to almost blend together, Only thing that I would give a negative thing about is the character in the picture.

He is almost just part of the background, (Which I understand most of it is supposed to blend together) although a more profound color would have been nice?

Other then that, I like it very much.

Yeah I see what you're saying, but I wanted to keep the same colour scheme for the whole thing, I did try making him a different tone to try and define him more, but he just looked like he'd been slapped onto the painting, didn't really fit in with everything else

I was obviously referring to OP's artwork.
Title: Re: Concept art for a competition
Post by: Tot. on April 26, 2013, 02:44:44 am: It's nice but you should really refine that focal point more. I'm just asssuming that thing in the middle is a human since I can't tell from it's shape, lightning is really awkward aswell which doesn't help at all, light source in the center background for some reason creates a weird outline on one side and not on the other.

In short, if you want to make this sketch a lot better with little effort - make that human figure less blurry and more defined. Having everything blurry is a bad idea.

Post by: Everkistus on April 26, 2013, 07:23:17 am: IMO pieces like these are pretty much spot-on for fantasy-ish games. Their blurriness leaves the imagination to work on the details.

Nice work mate.
Title: Re: Concept art for a competition
Post by: Largg on April 27, 2013, 07:45:15 am: That's very nice. I quite like the blur, it conveys a feeling rather than accurately depicting a scene.

Did you draw that with tablet?

Post by: Molly on April 30, 2013, 10:05:59 am: It's not like I don't see and appreciate the effort. What irritates me is this circlejerking...

"It looks awesome!" "So great!" - well, no, sorry, but compared to a looooot of other things there are, it doesn't :?

Are you a woman? Would explain the sudden change of mind.

Post by: Tears of Destiny on May 01, 2013, 05:13:36 am: This looks pretty great to be perfectly honest, I always loved that art style.

Post by: Molly on May 01, 2013, 10:28:36 am: I actually know 2 people who do Digital Art for a living and... well... way to go.

I am not saying it looks crap but all this "AWESOME WITH SAUCE!" is just not justified :|

Not to mention "I worked already 4 hours on it." - the guys I know invest 16 to 24 work hours into one piece.

Just saying. Looks good for a start but it's not "awesome" or "great"...
Title: Re: Concept art for a competition
Post by: Tot. on May 01, 2013, 05:23:43 pm: Molly: concept art != illustration. Noone working as a concept artist spends more than a couple of hours per sketch, because having it fine tuned, artsy and stuff isn't the point, the point is to communicate an idea. You spend as little time as possible bringing a painting to acceptable level of detail and move on.
