Title: The Reaper/New Dump...
Post by: Malor on June 27, 2007, 02:42:36 am
    Yep...not sure what inspired this..but it was fun. I am thinking I should remove the light beams from the scythe... Anyways Crits/ comments are greatly appreciated :)

I like it, save for the black outlines inside, the same effect could be achieved with shading.:)

His stance looks like he'll topple over to the left, so I suggest moving his right foot (not leg) a bit more to his right.

The aa on the outline seems to have made almost no difference, as it still looks jaggy. :huh:

I really like that scythe. Not the shine, but the scythe head itself. And the overall design is pretty cool too.

He's cute :)
Your anti-aliasing seems a bit random as it is now. Especially the diagonal lines seem fuzzy. I suggest reading some tutorials on AA to better understand how it works.
How about giving him a more interesting pose? Turn the scythe around, make him seem like he's ready to use it. :D

looks like he has boobs

Good. I wanted him to be fat..ish.

Yeah, I see the problems with the AA, expecially with the shaft of the scythe. I'll probably end up redoing the AA..and update will be posted soon. Thanks for the comments ;D

Your reaper piece has a cool character concept going for it. I'd say kick the resolution up and give him some more personality, the costume deserves a face. It's a really interesting twist on the generic reaper cliche.

Yeah.. I messed with the AA of the reaper..and made it a bit more defined... I didn't change the scythe yet..and I relented and added a skull..which I am probably removing, because I like the light/fire/eye thing. Oh, and I removed the light beam..not sure if it is any better.. Opinions?

You don't need to AA 45 degree angles, and don't hesitate to modify the outline as part of the AA.
