Here's my idea for an apartment so far. This is my first post, as well
as my first try at doing people, although I used the generic guy as a
guide. It still needs work, on the walls especially, but let me know
what you think so far. |

Sweeeet. You've got a great start here, but maybe you could kill a door or two and replace it with some appropriate Disco-y objects. |

I've added some furniture, taken away some doors, fixed up the walls,
and made a few other small changes. Let me know how it looks. |

Oooooh, much better Smite. The disco ball and knocked out door help a lot. To be honest... I'm not too crazy about the door up front. Not a crit of you... just the concept of the door up front. I'll have to run it by pixelblink. |

Ooh, nice. The shape of the disco ball looks a bit odd though. ------------- |

why not just leave a shadow of the door up front instead of actually showing the door? ------------- |

Okay, I didn't like how the last one was turning out, so I made a new
one. This one is a replica of my room, only 2.5 feet shorter in one
direction. Let me know what you think. |

Awww, I liked your disco scene. The black floor makes it very hard to make out the bottom of the room. Is that a bed on the right? Try lightening up some of it so it's easier to make out (even if it's not exactly what your room looks like). |

Yeah my floor is wood panels, every other one is blue and the rest are
black. My bed is a futon matress with black sheets. I havn't
redecorated since I got out of my black phase.

| Just add a light highlight around the bed otherwise it gets lost completely in the background. |

I think it's cool to do a replica of your room... but don't forget that we still have to be able to tell what is what in your room. I'd try making the floor a lighter shade of black and blue with darker lines seperating the boards. Also, is that a black pillow at the head of your bed? I can't really see anything with all those dark colours. You can make a picture dark without actually using black lines. Also, is that supposed to be a white sheet on your bed? It looks like water ------------- |

Yes, that is a pillow and no, that's not a sheet, it's a blue throw
blanket. I'll try and revamp that drawing in a bit. I threw this
together in a fit of boredom. Enjoy. :) |

Yess! that up there is what I wanted to do, but I don't have the iso skills. That's amazing, did you do it from a painting, or your brain? ------------- "I was minding my own business and walking across a pebbled path, and a Duck started giving me the business." |

Wow, cool little Escher room. What apartment building would be complete without one?

Personally, I think you should put all your energy into one room rather than 3. Perfect one then move on ------------- |

| Yeah, I get really bored with them though. I like moving on to new things and learning new techniques. |

I made some lighting changes on my bedroom submission, and updated the disco room.  |

Yeah, lightening up the bed looks much better. What happened to the adoring chick in your disco pic? |
Posted By: Smite_O_Rama
Date Posted: 10 May 2005 at 9:36pm
| Haha, I didn't like the way she looked and even tried to fix her so she looked better, but failed. I even think the guy looks a little too cartoony in the face. |

Awwww, I thought the chick looked pretty good.... So when are you going to http://www.pixeljoint.com/thejoint/ - submit your entries to the project? You've got three rooms in this WIP, but you haven't submitted any. |
