First attempt at artwork
« on: September 02, 2008, 11:02:09 pm »
My project is progressing nicely and I am starting to think about some artwork to go along with it.  I want it to have a old school vibe but still look new and interesting.  I decided to find some old sprites and render them in a 3D program.  I used PovRay to do the rendering.  I created a pixel then replicated, moved and colored it to create the images.  It is just a start, but I wanted to get some thoughts and opinions.  I invision the machine name (which I have not decided on yet) in 3D with many charaters around it.  Not a new idea, just done in a new way.

Do you just want it as is, but in 1024 x 768?  It's not even really laid out or centered.  I just made each character, then moved them a little to make the next one.  I am actually looking to make more.  I am just trying to track down good sprite pictures to use as reference.

Ah ok if you are not finished then please continue :D .
I will wait for the final release. While it is not centered it looks clean. Not sure how it will look if you put alot of characters in it.

Been fooling around with the the image.  Added a few more characters and moved them around.  Really need to few at full size to get the best image.



I would appreciate any comments.
