Title: Quick mockup of sideart
Post by: lemoe on July 20, 2007, 06:50:40 am

Im hoping to get my art for my cab printed soon so i started messing around with some side art, so this is just a first attempt and by no means the final image. Im just curious what you guys think!

This could still be a million miles from what i eventually go with, but you can still see it lol.

Oh, i havent thought of a name yet either  ???, so thats why its not on  ;D

Lemoe.

I'm usually not too fond of collage style artwork, but I like the composition on this one.

The thing that bothers me in collages is the mix of styles. Since the majority of the characters in your collage are Nintendo related, I'd say stick with them for a more consistent look.

I really like it! The characters are mixed together well. The only thing that stands out a little is the fact that Sonic is a different rendering than the rest of the pictures (not as cartoonish, more of a drawing). Not sure if that will stand out more once it is printed, but it is just an observation.

I have to agree, Sonic stands out. I believe it's the 3D style when everything else is a sort of "cell" style.

Perhaps modifying an image such as this (like adding thicker outlines and tweaking the brightness a bit, maybe even removing the 'shine'):

Thanks for the replies!

Yeh, i was thinking about making it all one style, or atleast closer.

I think i'll try and make sonic more mario-ish and see how that looks lol.
Damn work, maybe it'll get done tomorrow lol
