GREAT work. The trees are all cut off though. And the cornerpoles need to be inset a bit. I hope that Rawhide sign isn't photoshopped in. I hope this isn't a ripped image of all hell will break loose. ------------- http://www.shmup-dev.com/forum/">

| The Pepsi can by the tree on the top right (and the for sale sign, dumpster, etc.) looks awkward. I'm not sure I like the texture on the streets/sidewalks/rooftops, with that spaced dots deal going on. The bottle by the dumpster scared me because they look so akin to what I'm doing with my WIP right now, which I haven't uploaded yet, meaning you're clearly telepathic. I'd like to see a more realistic statue in the town square thing. The dead trees look odd, given the rest of the plant life is still green. Excellent detail throughout the piece. Christ, this took forever to load. |

Ya, the Purple Frog and Rawhidew signs look like they're a certain font that is just skewed using something like Photoshop or something, then pasted into the city image. Other than that, it looks pretty nice. Would this be a mock up of what it should look like in game? Or is it the actual ingame screenshot? ------------- "At least we killed some boredom..." - Death Note. |

I'm not liking the dots that are on almost everything, and the pepsi cans are mishapened. The grass seems to simple it's just green, with random darker green pixels on it o.O Looking great =D |

I agree with Nitram about the dotted texture quite everywhere. This picture has 1237 colors or so and doesn't need to use those dotted textures in my opinion. Moreover there is a little mistake in the street lamps / gray rope in front of the 'Graphics' big building. In fact this mistake is repeated also in the three top street lamp squares. Apart of that, this is great. |

You've got a great start but most of your stuff needs highlights and more contrast to make it pop and look more 3D. ------------- |
