Pixel Joint Forum: [Revisit] Zelda Mockup

Message

I'm still not really happy with how this turned out, so I'm going over it again, correcting shadows and fixing some perspective issues.

Old version on the left, new version on the right. I still haven't added shadows for the Ocroroks yet, but before I finish this up I wanted to get people's opinions on the second Octorok, and to see what people thought of the flooring. I've been feeling like it's missing something for quite a while (the reason for the box in the middle of the room in the old version).

	the second ocrorok makes the room feel too crowded. Maybe a trapdoor instead, to give something to the floor, and to make the room less crowded?

	*Originally posted by Frost Butt* the second ocrorok makes the room feel too crowded. Maybe a trapdoor instead, to give something to the floor, and to make the room less crowded? I agree with you. A staircase of this kind may as well be appropriate : Edited by Elastico-Gadget - 10 April 2012 at 5:08am

	Link's pose is too static, he could be waving his sword or something.

	Once again the update is on the right. Changes/Response to Crits: Addressed the cluttered floor crit by removing one of the boxes The original idea behind this little mockup was that it would be a sidescrolling room clearing game with boxes you could push around, so I don't want to add a staircase (but thanks for the suggestion) As for Link, I don't want to make his pose too dynamic because he's meant to have just entered the room, but I might do something to make him look a bit surprised Added shadows to the Octroks I've also changed the colour of the floor to break up the monotony some. Would like some feedback on this change I'm still looking for some suggestions on the flooring. I still think it's missing something.

	One thing I immediately notice with the flooring is that the boards never 'end'. Throw in some horizontal lines here and there to make the floorboards look more natural and break up the vertical flow. Example of what I mean: http://ftextures.com/textures/Wood-floorboards-texture.jpg Edited by Base - 10 April 2012 at 9:48pm

	I have a problem with the perspective of the bombs in the boxes. REALLY quick edit to show you what I mean: I agree that Link's pose would be much better he was looking at the enemy and perhaps protecting himslef. I must say that this some really nice pixel art though! Edited by Bouzolf - 11 April 2012 at 10:39pm

	Finally got around to working on this again. You can see the progress made from the uploaded version and my current progress in the animation. I'm just about ready to call it done.
