[WIP] Sea Dragon

on: December 30, 2008, 07:37:54 pm
Started making a sea dragon. It's still in a very early stage, but I'm probably gonna be away from my computer a couple of days.
The flame is just a placeholder to show the lightsource. I'm crappy as hell at lighting and would really apreciate help on that.

UPDATE


Gave it a body instead of letting it be a serpent, removed the fin so I can make an arm for it and also desaturated the colors a bit.

theres a bit of inconcistency in the shading. you have light coming from the left, but on the top of the head, there is a sugestion that the light is coming from the bottom left.
i'd probably look into that.

if would be interesting to see a bit of the body under the water. maybe have just a simple silluete being cut by some wavy shapes.
Image size doesn't matter! It's what you do with your pixels that counts!

The flame is the stronger light source. The thing is I have no idea how to do the shading with that light source, I think that's a common problem among newer pixelers. I just need to fix some basic lighting then I will fix the details, like texturing (I don't want it to look like a fucking pokemon) and a transition into the water.

The lighting is still off, but I'm working on getting it right.
