Haemophages and other cutscenes..., (Need a feedback!!!) Options

[Jens of Zanicuud]

Hi everyone,

I'll treat this topic as a sort of "garbage collector" in which I'll post some of my game's cutscenes / pictures in order to get some feedback.
At the moment I need some feedback about this.

You are free to give feedback about the old pictures, but I'd like to know something about the newer one

Thanks in advance

I'm working at Tryadine Effect Project by November 2011, but never really designed how Haemophages (i.e. monsters which appears in the game) could look like.
A couple of days ago, I was hitten by an idea and drawn this creature.
1.

[Show/Hide] Haemophage

Then, I wasn't satisfied and slightly edited it.
2.

[Show/Hide] Haemophage (reissue)

What do you think of the picture? What was the best one between the two?
I'd really appreciate to receive some comment...

I had some problem too with Day 3 ending cutscene.
In your opinion, what's the best picture between those three:

1.

[Show/Hide] Drawn with Paint.NET, coloured with Paint.NET

2.

[Show/Hide] Drawn by hand, coloured with Paint.NET

3.

[Show/Hide] Edited Cutscene

Thanks in advance,

Jens

I also use PAINT.net. D=

Are you like me and can't afford anything else? ._.

You know what I would try? GIMP! It has brushes and it's 100% free!

What I used to do before GIMP stopped working on my computer, was outline and simple color in PAINT.net, then shade in GIMP.

I used to blur like you do, but it's really hard to get everything to look right doing so. I would just go with simple coloring, like cell-shading or something. Anime coloring. o.o Or you could try coloring traditionally.

But enough about coloring! This is an idea a friend told I should do for my game, but I got too lazy to continue... I think I like your creature designs the best! ^___^

Okay, I'm in big troubles.
I truly desire to learn manga drawing, but I really have zero spare time left.

I've succeeded in drawing this:



but... I'm not satisfied, I don't know why... it's too far from my concept of manga (I mean... almost realistic style, Deathnote-like to be precise, not chibi)... but I can't understand what's wrong. Maybe the ink style? The colours?

Any suggestions/ideas?

I really don't know where to start.

P.S. I can't reveal for what game this image is. It's actually top secret
