well hmm hi;) here i will try to create a fearsome boss monster and then add it to the space theme mockup i have lately combined together...

[useless blablabla removed] ;)

just started coloring:

Very nice and shiny, especially on the neck pieces and the scales under his eye. If there was anything I would think of that needs a bit of changing it's the big star thing in the background under his mouth. It attracts too much attention from the foreground. Maybe you could split it up into several smaller stars like the other ones or something. But overall a very nice piece. I like shiny stuff. :)

i removed all the big stars from the bg as suggested... added also a small green glow from the eye, not sure if one can see it;) here's the latest mockup. damn those rocks are getting harder and harder whenever i need to make a new one with the same constant style.


the ball below is his energy source... with it's enormous speed it can try to avoid missiles and stuff, that's why it's evolved into a separate body piece;)

Yeah, even though I'm not really a big fan of horizontal SHMUPs (I prefer vertical SHMUPs :), I'd love to play this if it were a real game... I especially like the rocks.

thank you guys, helps me to get going. i'm not really sure what to do next. finish the rocks for the mock at least i think;)

...dreaming of a tiny game with only 1 level... anyone know where i could find people with mod-music skills? i know they're hiding somewhere, just like pixel art isn't dead in these dark times of threedee

Ork: are you a programmer? I would be interested in coding such a small game using your graphics. Would you let me use them?
