Pixel Joint Forum: CHALLENGE 6/11/2007: It's Evolving

Message

   I'm thinking it's the grate and the sizeof the motuh that's mostly ruining the design... the mouth on the others are what's making the art look so busy, so maybe he needs a bigger mouth. Here's some new lineart:

Lightened the colors, made the mouth bigger, ditched the grate (for now).

I'm going to tilt the smokestack back a bit too to match the perspective, and I may or may not draw in the grate... let me know what you think!

Enemy Deadline approaching! :O

	@Xion - Hey these are pretty good in a weird deranged sort of way. I especially like the first guy. He has a cute face. @Rynen - I like the grate, but I could see why you'd leave it off. I'd like to see you add something that makes the furnace look more menacing and give it a real fiery temper. Can we please vote for 10 favorites this week??? So many good ones. Edited by AdamPlays - 16 June 2007 at 5:22pm
	And now for something completely different...

	Rynen10K, Have you tried making the last evolution a very dark blue, almost black furnace? might help adding menace. That shirt on the last page is awesome.

	I think it's getting closer... looks like the size of the Mouth was what was causing most of the trouble. + AdamPlays - Yeah, I think the grate works now that the mouth is bigger :) + Jalonso - I'll give it a shot in the next update.

	Well, hey, that didn't take as long as I expected: Done! ...Ah, crap...the red marks on their heads look way too saturated... But, hey, I could just say they glow... So yeah, done!

	Yeah, I'm liking the darker palette. Thanks for the advice! :D Should be just a few more touch-ups and it'll be ready to go!

	One thing you may want to rethink is the smoke. The baby has it but the others don't. You could use smoke and soot to give further attitude to the evolutions. Think 'Koffing' the Pokemon.

	Well this one is all done except I didn't have a theme or plan when I started pixeling and have no idea what to do for name and story. Edit: I've been told it looks like a tentacle rape pokemon, so maybe we can work with that. XD XP Edited by Anlina S. - 16 June 2007 at 8:49pm

	*Originally posted by Aleiav* I still think the big one should have smokestacks. Well, he's got a big old steam engine style smokestack on his head... or do you mean smoke coming out of it? I want to add smoke, but I'm like only 1 pixel away from the max height and width, so I'm not sure what to do... I'll keep messing with it, hopefully I can squeeze it in. Love the octopus thing :D + Excalibur - I tink the leaves on the first form need to shrink or the second form needs bigger leaf/wing things... right now, they look really big on the first form.

	Rynen10k - I still think you're missing the smoke in, if not both the other 2 then the final... maybe the burst of flames in the last one from the sides.. (aaand maybe you cut those bars of the furnace doors in the last one in half so it looks like an opened mouth... that could give it some attitude.... :) ) Alina - thumbs up Excalibur - definetly the leaves are something to work on. Just like Rynen10K said. (I'd maybe change the perspective on the second one - of the leaves)... and jalonso - where in the world were you when I had to make up the names of my fakemons? :D

	*Originally posted by Rynen10K* I think it's getting closer... looks like the size of the Mouth was what was causing most of the trouble. Maybe you should try to make the raster in front of his mouth like theets, and then give the middle one some small theets too? And you need smoke, loads of smoke!
