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

old overtoure
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

Thou maketh rapid progress! ! She's looking lovely! I was looking for this yesterday but didn't have enough time to find it, I actually made a simple tutorial before about coloring on such program in an easy and basic manner. I don't know if it will be of interest, but here's the step-by-step I made XD

[Show/Hide] I drew a King of Fighters character for an example XD

The lineart


Then. I made a layer for the base color, and went OVER that with the airbrush to give the skin a kind of gradient effect. And then on a new semi-transparent layer, made SOLID shading, over it. I DID do the shading for where the light hit on the original layer I airbrushed on. Like so.


And repeated the same process for the hair


And used solid shading for the rest for the end result


It's a simple way to color, but it also helps as a stepping stone to exploring more and new coloring techniques!

Hope that was at least a little helpful XD

Keep it up though, your stuff is looking fabulous! I really like her hair!

@Rune and Homunculus

Thanks a lot for the tutorials, guys
I surely won't give up, I have a game to end.
A whole year has passed since the project begun and I have no intention to stop right now.
I'm currently at 30% and I need to do some cutscene by directly drawing 'em, so I'll use this topic as a sort of warehouse for my pictures in order to have some feedback before adding them to my project

Your feedback has been really precious. Thanks to both of you

Jens
