Looks like some shamanic voodoo stuff.

Carrion said I should start posting here, so here I am, doing that! GameBoy mockup thing

Cellusious, how do you create these mockups? I mean technically. Transparent layers and rotations I presume?

More than likely the layer effects on Paint.net. If you start layering up textures and messing with the color levels a lot of his aesthetic will start looking familiar. Half of the "glitch art"you see online is actually carefully positioned layers of saturated mess over one another.

[Kekskiller]

That'd be a possibility, yes. Though I'm pretty there's some speciality involved

Well yeah you have to make the textures and pick the colors first.

[HyMyNameIsMatt]

Screwing around with saturated layers and transparencies really does create some marvelous effects.

[Cellusious]

Pixel everything on multiple sheets. pixel the bottom "clean pixel art for elitist, purist, scum" layer then place the other thing you have pixeled over with an alpha. draw a gradient by mixing gradients by hand, fiddle a tiny bit with the colours. Done.

12 of 100 of those are finished, they take around 2 minutes to make then there's fiddling with sliders. I did like 144 to start off doing pixel art and they took at first 3 hours to make each and i applied a glow filter because i liked how they looked. Now those 3 hours have been decompressed to 3 minutes because i know everything i need to make them. I'm in my safe zone, i got all the lego blocks i need to build the same piece over and over again in different configurations.

Time to change it up? Why not do a different kind of practise, like copying a photograph as best you can with 16 colours or less? Just to break things up and improve your observational skills?

cirpons, migrafael, Rakugaki-Otoko - thanx for answers!

@Geti
Thank you again! :D I followed your ideas:



@alex pang
Your dude's version is styled very cool and readable even better! And i like ground texture in your RL thing, pretty neat :3

@premonster
Yeah, because i want make something NES-like, with NES-authentic style. And in this sense i agreed with Rakugaki-Otoko and especially with noumenus.

@terri
Thanx for edit and check new mockup with shadows in beginning of this post.

@Lee
Cool, now it's have right perspective, like premonster was requested.

I used your and alex pang edit to make this dude's version:



But don't like it, it's too 3D-ish, as i say to premonster, i want something NES-authentic, like on mockup in beginning of this post.

[MrBones]

Wow, that looks great.

Sort of reminds me of Vlambeer's Wasteland Kings.

[Raku]

I like the compact designs of everything. Especially those Advance Wars-esque tanks.

[Geti]

08, that is really fabulous More more refined, more readable gameplay-wise and the added detail is excellent - the thick industrial diagonal lines and wall panels are a fun touch. Get coding ;^)

[08--n7.r6-79.84]

@Bonesy, gameplay will be similar too

@Rakugaki-Otoko , yeah, this is what I aspire to :D all the objects need to be compact and neat

@Geti, at first I need to done with all main animations for enemies:

[JLJac]

We all have different work flows, but animating everything before starting to code seems kind of off...  animation/design and behaviour shouldbe connected, right, so maybe it would be better to iterate? First get some grey boxes moving, then designing their appearance, then deciding their attacks, etc etc... ?

[08--n7.r6-79.84]

I'm just artist and can't make code, so I just do what I can do. But actually I already have some prototype with "grey boxes" for testing gameplay -___-

Just an artist??? GAMEMAKER! That's how I learned to code (barely and poorly). Still, if it's good enough for Vlambeer it's good enough for me!

Step 1- Learn to Code
Step 2- Go back to St34l3r
Step 3- $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

>GAMEMAKER!
Yeah, I just try it 

>Step 3 - go to KS

fixed
