Here is the joint apartment I am working on...



I am practicing with a new technique, you may notice the outlines are alot lighter than I usually make them, so far I think it is coming out ok.

I still need to add more texture to the walls and to the floor...

For some reason the walls don't look right to me...

Yes! I love the shadow!

The corner wall segment looks like one segment, not two meeting in the corner.

you could put the guy in a straight jacket, or possibly to doctors -
one with syringe and other with jacket, however they will need a
door.

BUT...  Is the cat really there?

Still working on it...  I am thinking of making this even crazier...  My friend who ended up getting put into one of these because of Schizophrenia, said that sometimes it seemed he wasn't really there...  SO I may be making this animated...  No more details then that...  You will just have to stay tuned.

Which reality IS reality?



I don't know if this will work for the joint...  It is about 20kb, and I don't know if the grass scene would be allowable...

It's up to blink, but personally I think it's pretty cool.  Trippay.

it looks to me like you copy-paste-mirrored the wall segments
and you get full credit for using the tools well
but I think that on one wall the little "width" areas should be in shadow, if on the other wall they are in light, given that they go different ways and the light would affect them differently....

The first scene kind of confused me. It's a bit emply but I guess that's how you wanted it to be since it's a cell. But a bit more spicing up (like the sign "help" written in blood) would be very nice for the room.

ok, some suggestions, I didn't notice the shadow right away - it could be just my monitor, but it took me like 5 good seconds of staring at it to see it..again, it's probably just my monitor settings, but I'd still suggest darkening it just a little bit.

Also, there's no light source - everything is shaded w/ the light coming from the right,  but on the right there's no lamp/window/light source of any kind, just padded wall.  I think that  a little light bulb in the right corner (up just under the ceiling) with a little metal cage around it to prevent the guy from getting burned or something... also you could add an animated fly touching the bulb and bouncing back and touching it again.. but I guess then the file will be too big..

Well, those are just some ideas I came to mind for the "spicing up" of the room.

 

It looks cool so far, I love the help sign - kinda makes you wonder where it came fom since the guy isn't bleeding... oo how bout  a dead cat on the floor under the sign.. damn I'm disturbed bahaha

Thanks for the tips!  I will do some updating...

As for the help, and the cat...  Are you sure they are actually there?
