Helm/Ptoing collab (update 23rd of march)

on: March 10, 2006, 07:28:23 pm
Helm and me started this shortly before the original Pixelation got hacked and wanted to finish it once pix was up again.
Pix being down for ages, jobs and life stopped up from working on it more.
But now we are determined on finishing it, and not only finishing it but bringing the old bits up to our current skill level

Basically i did all the dark tiles and helm the slightly lighter ones

There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.

I was just about to ask if you were ever going to start this back up. I'm glad you have; it is a quite impressie work.  Methinks there are a couple of tiles (the top left corner and the dudes at the bottom) that were not there the time I saw it last.  I suppose they were posted between my last viewing of the old forum and its demise.  I can't wait to see this finished!

The big yellow one has always looked off balance to me. He needs a leg, or arm, or something to brace him. Even if he's a big worm of a thing there's just too much mass to be so straight up. I would think anyway.

Yeah, when we're done with the tiles and move on to overal tweaking, I'm going to be adding an arm or something to prop him. There's going to be a lot of work after tileage. About 10% of the work will be after we're done playing turns, really. All the optimization, extra AA and fixes...

I remember this pic, it's looking truly stunning. Gonna be interesting to see how you are gonna pull that black sky in the top corner into the pic smoothly.

I kinda wish the gun-blasting chess piece section (although very pretty) was removed, just because the piece as a whole is so damned gorgeous I want to see it completed pristine. Nice job, both of you.
