Title: [WIP] Uncharted De-make.. and hi!
Post by: kamionek on August 30, 2008, 06:31:07 pm

umm..

hi! i'm new around here, and to this whole pix-art business, my name is Robert, i'm 17 and i come from Poland (so my english could sound strange from time to time)
i got interested in pix-art after seeing some of my friend's pieces, and i thought of making a de-make of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for ps3 after seeing that article on Kotaku

it's still a WIP, i have to finish palm trees, add some background, our playable character and enemies and some details to the floor and stuff
i know GB wouldn't probably handle something like this, but hey, who cares ;p

i used 4color palette from this pic by Lackey

i hope i'll spend time nicely with you guys  ;]

I think the rock in the middle of the screen sticks out too much..

If it's an obstacle, then it's great.. since you can easily see it'll be in your way.  :y:

If it's in the background, then maybe make some of the parts lighter so it doesn't catch your eye as much.

Good luck

 :D

it's an obstacle, and obstacles are actually the most important part of the original game, so i think it should stick out ;p

i had problems creating leaves' shape, but i think they're good now
still have to do some things, like a background or more detailed ground

so what do you think about it?

I really like it! It gets the feel of the original game and puts it on the Game Boy. My only criticism would be that the tree leaves should have a pointed end not a rounded one. But I'm picky about that because I see palm trees every day  ;D

I think that the main problem with the palm trees is that you version doesn't reflect the fact that palm leaves are really made of several blades grouped together. You should reflect it somehow. Maybe adding some 'cracks' on the outline of the leaves. On the other hand leaves looks a bit rigid to me, they should bend a bit more because of their own weight.

I've done a very, very rough edit. Just modified three leaves:
