originally for the 2d mockup challenge, i've decided to take this to a diferent aproach. this is my first serious attemp of an isometric piece, so i do want to use this to learn as much as I can. the following image is based on the LucasArt's graphic adventure game Grim Fandango, one of the most underrated yet amazing games of the lucas's factory. this is also a debt i had with a friend :P  it took me a couple of minutes to get the character, but it has taken me ages to have a proper image done. this is caused by my -at the moment- lack of iso skills and the terrible yet only reference of the room i was triying to remake:  the room is Domino Hurley's Office, just in case you just have a copy of the game and could post a better screenshot :D so that's all. basically, i'm posting this so we could learn from it. and help me finish it, of course. all comments and critics are really appreciated. ------------- I ate leel's babies |

If you're gonna do this right, you're gonna need some atmospheric shadows. The game is a black comedy not only in dialogue and story but in the surroundings and lighting itself. I suggest using a larger canvas to work with as well. Give yourself room to move and create the environment. ------------- |

I got your point Pb. in fact, i do want to capture the Noir essence of the game, but a close thougth makes me wonder if i should screw the isometric mockup for now(wich is carried from the challenge rules) and move into an ilustration, were i could move with freedom... ------------- I ate leel's babies |

Then lets screw the damn mockup for now. I guess i'll have to face the demons of the isometrict someday, but not for now. redrawing the whole thing D: ------------- I ate leel's babies |
