technically could be better... but nice scene

Thanks guys,

i should've spent several hours more working on it, but i really wanted to post something...not my best idea in retrospect :)

and yes, shadow of the beast and castlevania where my main influences....

i'll upload a cleaner version as soon as i find the time

Well done, this reminds me of the Shadow of the Beast and Psygnosis games artwork in general.

Love the oldschool feeling here.

Awesome, but where you could use AA somewhere.

Initially I like the skull and the clouds best, but on close up it looks too full of fat pixels.

Inspiration from the Symphony of the Night game over screen, by chance?

Hello, welcome at PJ!

Critique desired?

Lots of banding - pixels alligning to form larger blocks - especially on the skeleton, where it could be easily avoided.
The dirt further in the back looks very messy, texture could be more controlled.
I am not a fan of the blocky sky gradient. Here dithering might help a lot.


Furthermore a nice piece :) You are clearly an experienced artist, and I am fond of the skeleton drawing!
I hope to see more soon! If you wish to learn more and boost this piece to a new level, I suggest making a topic about it in the WIP forum! I'd love to help :)
