Mockup Frenzy #3: Game Boy De-Makes!

[Helm]

I was keeping my thumbs up for Flashback Wink Of course, that would hardly be next-gen.

Yeah that was the first thing I considered as well, but as you say, hardly next-gen.

[KAT]

OMG! Another World... that was my idea to draw it ;P hehe Ok, you are first So i will try to draw flashback...

About your pixelart: Nice work, i like it... its very similar to original. Good job!

Psychonauts:


Boyd looks kinda funky, but oh well. :\

I loved Psychonauts.

His arms looks much too long and way too lanky.


Here's an edit to show you what I mean.
Might have overdone some details on the character.

[HMC]

He did kinda have some long arms, though.

[KAT]

OK, here is my WIP Is it good?

[Helm]

Too noisy. Avoid dithering, I'd say, especially on the background building plane. Simplify for smaller res, don't try to push in detail. Flashback mainly utilizes flat planes with disparate detail to draw the eye.

@ KAT - I've not checked but I think your screen res is out too... I looks a bit on the small side?

[AdamAtomic]

yea proper res is 160x144, not 128x128   but its still a wip!

[KAT]

UPDATE TIME!

Background with dithering:


Beckground without dithering:


I think now its better Thanks for advice, you rox guys ;P
Critics are welcome.

Oww, one question: Version without dithering is better than version with dithering?
I think better is with dithering.

AdamAtomic: Damn! OMG! I was thinkig (dont know why...) it must be in 128x128. Grrrrrrrr....

[AdamAtomic]

good progress!  work on dividing the planes more though.  That's the big challenge for this activity; keeping foreground separate from near bg separate from far bg.  I'd continue to simplify and eliminate outlines!
