[Feedback] Dragon Cat Fountain

[TEETH]

Hey Thanks you two. Youre right about the lightsource, I should have chose that first.

For the first one I put a yellow overlay to hopefully give it more of a golden tone. Got rid of the back feathers and added another red. I also colored in some of the feathers with a pink or gold to try to make it look less busy while still showing texture.

I thought it might possibly look even more busy now, so I tried a second edit with taking out all of the middle feathers and just shading the body.
That's where I'm at right now. Thoughts? Thank you !

I would recommend choosing a general light source for all of your game assets to keep them cohesive. If you're going to have a bunch of environmental lighting... you're going to have a much more difficult time making your assets look good unless you want to have multiple versions of each with different light sources.

Don't worry. This particular room I'm making uses an image as a background instead of a tileset.

Would it be possible to see the background your intending on using to get a better idea of the overall perspective and how this will fit in? I'm having some trouble visualizing the overall look you're going for.

[TEETH]

Yeah sure. There's not much to it right now besides base colors.

edit:    the image uploader must have compressed the picture. sorry about that

Use imgur, it doesn't resample images unless they're super-huge.

I would honestly recommend focusing on the background first, figuring out the room's overall perspective and scale, and then coming back to the statue. Right now you have oodles of perspective problems. After you've finished the background room, draw the cat statue on top of that in a new layer.

I think they mentioned it was a harsh wip earlier, which makes sense. Definitely looks it.

AS FOR THE STATUE, definitely pick the colors for the room then use those for reflections and shading on the statue itself. For example, orange edge lighting from the fire sconces in the back, whitish-orange underlighting from the light bouncing off the marble, etc.

I'd reccomend leaving the shading of the whole thing until you have that background finished so as to better fit it into the scene!

Also to fix the perspective lower the angle some, there'll be less moving room on the floor but it'll fix the statue looking pasted in!

Thank you everyone. I really appreciate the feedback. I'll work on the background some more before working back on the fountain.

What gave you the idea to make this?
Can I use it for something when you're done with it???

I'm making it for a video game I'm currently producing so sadly no, you may not. Thank you for asking though.
