i think there is too much black... i suggest it croping it....
but it like it somehow
Additionally, I'm annoyed by "artists" attempting to take advantage of design principles in such a way that implies they've mastered them. For instance, using excessive white space - creating a landscape and including 5 miles of blank sky for no reason.
Fortunately, I think the sparsity of the this peice prevents it from falling into that category. It's minimalism compliments the use of blank open space.
Of course, I still didn't know what I was looking at, having never heard of the game before. Only the reference pics cleared it up. So no mainstream appeal for this one, hehe.
You're welcome.
I played Dead Space, nice game... so scary.
I've got the point without the references. Cool idea!
But there is a small glowing display on the chest under the helmet. Can't see it here...
Even after being told what it really is, and I've played Dead Space to death, all I see is an angry submarine-shark. Or shark-submarine, take your pick.
You really need a selective outline for this to work as intended. Furthermore, you will have to fix the health meter, because right now Isaac seems to be having a hunchback problem; you've bent his spine a bit too much.
Yeah, without the other highlights making appearances I'd have had no idea that this was Isaac. I don't think this piece is done yet - and the three notches on his visor should be more to the right.
Yeah... no offense, but even with ref I don't see anything. It's hard to evoke fear that way.
Let me show you another mysterious and minimalistic picture, ev149, with fear and horror included: here you go .
I think that pixelart lacking both pixel- and -art parts -_- And that preview... if someone like me posted that kind of preview i doubt any one would saw it besides me, since it definitely won`t pass in gallery. The more i look at author`s other pixels, the more i get angry when i see that one. Laziness won this time. You can do better.
Personally, I like it like this. It's mysterious and minimalistic at the same time and has an overwhelming emotion of fear and horror pouring from it. Excellent job IMO.
preview is great...
couldnt/ cant read it too
maybe do some reflections on the armor, or the silhoutte thing suggested by ultimaodin ... i also think u should make the lights more turquois-ish as in the original... the small ) and | things are also distracting and seem placed wrong
Definately needs more to it. I too read nothing but random lines Even after checking ref material I had to stare at it. Maybe the power cord thingy should be in a similar radiactive green as well.
I suggest doing a cutout of the entire body and making it just the slightest varience of colour, this will keep the unique flat space while still illuding the viewer to the desired subect. (hope this doesn't read like a tonne of gibberish)
The font is really well done and the single colour preview made me go WTF and instantly clck it.
Hm, good point. I guess this was more coherent in my mind. I suppose if you didn't know the source meterial you would only see a bunch of lines.
I initially wasn't planning on submitting this, but I ended up working on it for a while longer than I expected. Also, I thought the title was a good idea and that it would be interesting to use a single colour preview image.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback. Perhaps I should take this down, I'm not quite sure yet though.
I think you could work more in this one, man. Despite the intention of the work was to show the figure in the darkness, without title and references is next to impossible to read.
I really cant see anything :( but offcourse I'm colorblind
