Title: [C+C][WIP] Mock-up of a platformer
Post by: BlueSheep123 on June 27, 2016, 06:03:41 pm

Hello everyone, I am new to this website and I would like some tips and criticism for this platformer mock-up I drew. My main problems with it is that I believe it (a) resembles Yoshi's Island too much and (b) I want to make it dark/gloomy but fun/cute looking, hence the "drawn" artstyle.

My Original Version:

Recolored (the background would probably be a swamp + there would be mist in the foreground):

Please tell how I could make this more like a drawing but not too similar to Yoshi's Island and more gloomy but fun-looking. Thanks!

Well...use a Drawing Tablet? lol. But you should study what other games that use "cartoony" art styles and break apart what makes the art style what it is.

I actually love the aesthetic you have here. But I must admit I prefer the original version.
