Pixel Joint Forum: Spooky House

Message

   I've been working on this for the past couple of days:

I'd like to improve it but I don't have too many ideas other than making the door look more wooden and adding a background.

Any constructive criticism, ideas, or just plain comments would be nice.

	I think it looks awesome. But the perspective confuses me. I don't understand the angles of the walls. Did you draw this freehand, or did you do some perspective lines before you started? I don't understand why the wall with the door seems to have a different angle than the short wall on the far left. Also, I don't understand why all the horizontal lines on the wall with the door are completely parallel. That doesn't seem to match the other angles on the house. Also, the roof doesn't seem to be linked properly. Check the angle of the connecting seam.

	It's supposed to be a caricature-ish spooky/weird house, that's why the angle is a bit weird. I tried to make it like the left side is jutting out from the main portion of the house. That's why the roof is connected that way. The part of the roof that's on the right side is supposed to continue a little behind the side of the roof you see on the left, and come out on the other side (which is blocked by the left side of the house because of the angle).
