Hey guys I have been working on this game project for a while. This is definitely the most ambitious project I have worked on art-wise.


This is Warthog the main character. I made it a while back and haven't gotten around to fixing up some of the issues, but it is the basis for the kind of style I'm going for.

This is the forest level I'm currently working on. I'm pretty happy with the way the grass turned out but I'm having a hell of a time with the trees as you can see.
I was going for mesquite trees like this because they looked like they would be great for level design. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v131/TheZombie/08-06-28clay_mesquite0117_lge-1.jpg

A few of things to note: Its very much a work in progress. The upper background is just a placeholder color, I plan to have trees back there. I do plan on making the trees go a lot more upward and add actual treetops I'm just trying to get the look of it right and work my way up. I was making the parts of it that would actually be platforms first so my programmer could implement slopes.

I realize this is pretty rough work, I am hoping to get some critique as I work on it. Any comments appreciated, Thanks!

I like the color a lot better on the new cactus. I think it would benefit a lot from a little anti-aliasing between the grooves. As it is now they are a bit jarring.
I think an important thing to think about would be less the cactus itself, and more how it would fit with the style of the rest of the game. The first cactus wasn't bad and reminded me a bit of fallout. The new one is a very different style that would fit a totally different game.

Hi there everybody! I'm Yngar from Denton Texas. I like to make games.
Recently through working on projects I realized that I can actually seem to make pixels into art so I thought I would come here to get some advice on my art and help out others. Community is fun!
