I'm planning on changin the HUD, doesn't look too NES-ish

It's also kinda difficult to see. Besides that, though, again I say; good work. Look forward to completed product.

I'm certainly not the best guy to consult here, but here's my take on it:



The first thing I thought was 'this is a logo, so if this were mine I'd want it to 'pop' visually'. So I drastically darkened your darkest blue and used it for the unlit pieces of ice. I also made them larger (since you complained that it look flat) and gave them more than one color (icy streaks using the dark gray you used on top) to make them better fit in with the logo overall. I then slightly darkened the top of it (it popped a bit too much  ), unfortunately turning your palette from four to five colors, since the blue you used previously served as a nice fade from the bright white into the surface of the lettering.

Like I said... I'm not the best, but I tried, taking into account some of the things I've learned on these forums over the past year. I really hope this helps you out.

Cheers, Olly

Been quite busy lately, sorry guys.

Just a tiny bit of progress here, I started work on one of the varieties of Ent.



As always, critique is encouraged and welcomed.

UPDATE: Fixed the eyes (they're just sockets now) and worked on defining the limbs a bit better. I know the hands are two different styles so far, but I just wanted to throw each out there before bed and make a definite decision in the morning.

It all is in the same perspective to me I guess when I add the sprite and all it will be more clear.

Oh! My apologies, I guess I didn't look close enough. The flowers and rocks are behind the platform, where the bridge is simply part of the platform tile-wise. My mistake.

Agreed with buddy, it's those two that are causing your issues, although I can see a little bit why you thought it was the pink one.

Anywho, if I were to move on to posing, I'd say the man with blue hair and goatee has the best pose for a fighting styled game. I know it might seem kinda generic, but he exudes a lot more character than the rest of them to me.
