 | DarkfalzX @ 9/10/2009 4:14:19 PM commented on Draconus Mockup Draconus was one of my favorite Atari 8-bit games - just loved the atmosphere of it, and the title music was amazing. I always thought the remake should be darker and more along the lines of a "sunken temple of the Elder ones" looking, and not bright, cheery and with demoscene fonts on the hud - but that's my personal opinion.

This is a weird piece, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. On one hand - it certainly has nice colors, but the dithering is making it unnecessarily grainy. The dragon design is interesting, but the pose is highly unnatural. The hud design is also kind of mehh - cluttered and unappealing. There are priority issues between character and background, and the diagonal planks over the pits look just kinda lame.
Overall though, this shot reminds me of the Atari ST port of Jim Power.

Absolutely amazing though. I wanna see more of it!

 | DarkfalzX @ 4/21/2009 1:09:16 PM commented on Girl Run Very cool! I love this character, but I feel like there really isn't enough vertical movement, almost as if she is suspended in the air by her butt.

 | DarkfalzX @ 4/8/2009 8:46:44 PM commented on Lost here i am, forever with your Soul Though I like many things about this piece, such as the palette, the rendering of the chain and the overall composition, there are about as many things I don't like (totally fudged anatomy [despite being a cartoon, there's still gotta be a figure in there somewhere], and the face, which isn't sufficiently cute to be chibi, making her look like a midget)

 | DarkfalzX @ 4/2/2009 10:50:38 AM commented on Haru NEW Attacking stance Errmm.. Not sure if I like it much. He does some pretty counter-intuitive, not to mention physically impossible things with the weapon and his limbs alike. The angle and trajectory of the weapon changes too drasticly near the end, and his knee just shoots out at the end for no reason at all...

It's like she received a reverse-epidural, and is numbed from the waist up - that would explain all the thrashing and wiggling.

 | DarkfalzX @ 2/9/2009 8:30:35 AM commented on A Dragon and His Princess This is SO Amiga-ish! Colors and rendering style remind me of Darkmere/Stormlord (both Mark K. Jones games). Some details of the dragon are less than perfectly readable, but otherwise - freaking brilliant!

 | DarkfalzX @ 1/28/2009 2:48:25 PM commented on MegaWorlds Fighting Jam, May moves Did you use some kind of a 3D reference for the actual move? While the animation is stiff and mechanical, she retains her shape remarkably well throughout.

 | DarkfalzX @ 1/24/2009 8:20:16 AM commented on ZX Spectrum LOI Loading screen Yeah - I know - I might try to fix that arm, as it's a purely technical issue. Larger issues, like lack of dynamic posing which is a consequence of the piece being drawn without any planning will probably have to stay

 | DarkfalzX @ 1/23/2009 10:23:33 AM commented on Cosmic Glare The pixel technique here is pretty cool, the drawing itself, however is pretty scary-looking. Different parts of her face appear to be misaligned - the lips especially. The face looks swollen and lumpy because of that.

 | DarkfalzX @ 12/23/2008 11:02:05 PM commented on MyOwnSatellite Commish 1 Not to be a anatomy Nazi, but.. yeah - her anatomy is ALL messed up. Her torso is about twice the length it should be. Her legs connect to... I don't think they connect to anything - it's possible they just grow out of the ground. her neck appears to be broken in at least two places, and she has an additional joint between her elbow and her wrist.
Try sketching your people out as simple stick figures and more complex box models before adding all the detail. Also - try to keep the dithering consistent, if you insist on using it in the first place.
Edit: Wow - this came out WAY harsher than I intended to sound - sorry about that.
