Need help with concept graphics

on: January 26, 2016, 05:43:01 pm
Hey,

We are working on our mobile game and this is how the concept graphics looks at the moment:

 
 
So all help is appreciated. Comments about the graphics /feedback is appreciated. Probably the grass should be improved for example.

 
Thx.

I actually like the grass. I think it works personally. That mushroom head guy has a lot of noise going on in his head. It looks unclean. and isn't symmetrically rounded. Idk if thats what you were going for but thats just what I see.

Yeah, good comments. I fixed those. I also added a little bit more of grass to the grass.

 
Thanks!

Although it's not meant to be a mushroom head, but it has an egg shell on his head. I hope it's not too much of a Mario style. I have to consider changing it. Thanks.

Hey !
It feels like your overall saturation is too hight and values are too close.
You can check it with a Hue/saturation layer, It helps tremendously finding those correct values.

also be careful with the level of details you put on sprites, ie the 4 ears rabbits feels strange compare to the render you use on other sprites. remember that less is more in term of palette.

Yes. I lowered the saturation of the grass. The four eared bunny doesn't belong there, it's used elsewhere in the game (in a sub monster battle game). The four eared bunny is actually a plant monster.

Does anybody have any idea what to do with the "mushroom"-head? What should I do with his head? Maybe the egg/mushroom pattern isn't good as it resembles too much Mario games?

Yeah, some colour values are probably too close to each other. That can be fixed. But here's a revision. I changed the colours of the "mushroom"-head so that it wouldn't resemble so much of a Mario character. I also removed the plant monster and going to use him where he belongs.
