Mmm yea, i see were you are going, I'll def. give this a go tomorrow
I'm assuming that you haven't boosted the saturation on purpose. Looks like it's been defiled by the "save for web and devices" in PS  (with my settings this is what happens anyway)

Thanks for the crit conciet

I think you accidentally took the length of the movies (movie A is 01:12 long and movie B 02:23), so i don't really know were you're getting at with the first line. I'm sensing it's requires a major overhaul though, and honestly, I'm not gonna redo the basics. Anyhow, I'd still like to know what you meant so if you're up for it, I'd like getting the intended times for the videos.

On the color thing - I've been playing around for the last hour to see if i could squeeze some more colors in. Obviously i can't afford to be picky with a NES Palette, but I'm not gonna throw in more colors for the sake of colors. Right now It kinda feels like a major trade off - as soon as I mix it up a bit, it looks... well more colorful, but it has a major toll. All sense of ambiance goes down the drain, so although the coloring might be more in tune with the movie, the overall atmosphere isn't. Thats the conclusion I've drawn so far anyhow. Any edits proving me wrong would be very welcome 

If you want to pick up something from the light, make it the placing of lightsoruces, the way they build the atmosphere.

I'm not getting this 

As for the art direction you're unfortunately right. Instead of just throwing together a random harbor scene i should've focused on specific elements and builded the scene around those. I'll go add some more wierd contraptions now. I'll prob. take the low road though, just adding some bigger tubes'n shit to the right most house as I'm not too happy with it anyway.

I'm sorry if I seem unwilling to change to much, but I spent a lot of time on this and I'm pretty fed up with it. I wanna get back to my generic zombie mockup
Thanks alot for the crit tho

La cite des enfants perdus (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112682/)



Resemblance with movie went out the window trying to make it look good.
Should comply with all restictions. 1 BG palette 4 sprite palettes

the left leg looks kinda clumsy compared to the athletic right one. The tail - crotch transition looks wierd as he's lower body kinda extends into his tail. For improved believability i think the tail should start where the legs end. Ref: http://www.canis.no/oppdretter/rasebilder/rase_364_1.jpg (i know it's a bud-ugly non-muscular dog, but hte overall design is kinda similiar).

Other than that, very nice. I hope you'll continue working on the alien- the design is cool, and the palette very bold.

Cheers

@ Adarias, yea, it sounded easy when i read about it in the help me file, but after playing around with it the last coupple of hours i give in. I'll try pulling them closer together tommorow

@Rydin, hehe, yea it does kinda "fight with it's own sexuality"  , the goal was to create a cute, semi-cartoony font that did well in large sizes. It's for a childrens game I'm working on. I posted a screen from earlier in this thread, and actually, I have a new one. I'm kinda ambivalent about posting it, since it suffers from the exactly the same issues people here pointed out on the last one, but mehh.. I'm comfortable with the style and i have to do a lot of them, so I'll stick to this:
