 Its a little something for my game, ignore the clutter of random sprites. The main thing I was lokoing for was C+C on the textures. Like the bricks and wooden planks on the second one. (which I'm not too keen on) ------------- I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.

They look great! Both of them. If I were to crit anything, it would be the repetitive nature of the planks. Try adding a few small knot holes here and there to break it up.

Oh, wait, I see you mirrored it. Thats probably half of you problem right there. Yeah, a few knot holes and even some plank swapping will help alleviate the mirrored look. Same for the bricks. The texture is grand, but with the repetition, it looks fake. Throw some extra cracks or non-squareness to random parts of your bricks. :)

Good shading techniques. NIiiiice line arts! Keep going! Avoid mirroring, especially when you've got such skills! Art pieces are so much more dyamic and interesting when they aren't mirrored. Make variations on both sides. ------------- |

I ditto omegavolt 100%. i would add that the roof's lower line on the bottom building is not using the same perspective as the building. The brick section should be even from edge to edge.

| Looks fantastic! I would add a small wooden lining between the brick and wood plank separations to make it look even more authentic. It also does look mirrored, especially on the first one (cracks). Great job though! |

OK, I mainly focused on the second one, as you can see, I added a line around the top, to see if it made the wood look seperated from the brick, not sure if it did?? Also, coloured the lines and chose a colour pallette for the wood. Added a few knots in the wood, plus moved a few cracks in the bricks. I think with the roof thing, its becuase I have the lines coming down not quite on the pinacle of your view. So theres a little bit extra where you shouldn't be able to see.  ------------- I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.

Even so a forshortened circle will always be an ellipse. yours would be a cat's eye shapw with pointy edges. The overall skill here is very good though! Keep up the good work. ------------- http://www.shmup-dev.com/forum/">
