I'm totally sure the first one is more appealing to almost every non-indie gamer and people not biased over pixel art, provided that they are weeaboos
The first one appeals to me because it's just better. I don't play RPGS, and I only play games on my computer (indie games the most). When I was 16 or so I played japanese rpgs but not any longer. I don't care for Japanese manga/anime whatever style art either. your stereotyping is silly  , yet it of course it's hard to disagree with you. |

saying that one is likely to be more appealing to a certain group of people doesn't preclude that that one is also more appealing to other people -- there's no contradiction

I didn't say that, I was only referring to my own preferences, and no one else's |

understandable. still, i don't really think it was stereotyping -- it's just statistics. people who are used to a certain style are more likely to prefer that style. not all the time, but generally. if you go to the lj entry where i asked people about the choice, i did notice that tendency: people who were into games in the 80s liked the second one better, people who were too young (under 20-25) to have played a lot of games in the 80s, along with people who didn't play games at all, tended to like the first one better.

I could have sworn I posted on here earlier, but I definitely prefer the first one. The style appeals to me. Filling out the hair, and maybe a tiny little bit more colour on the face is the way I would go. I don't mean any disrespect to either of the artists, however. I wish I was half as talented and skilled an artist as either of them.

Yeah it's really becoming more coherent in look now, great stuff man. I'm still not in love with the portraits though. In a way I'd like to see them share the uber-shaded, exaggerated colour-theory pixel look of the game, but I know it would be time-consuming!

Those little crater reflections are really bothering me  I hope you change it because everything else is looking so good. |

I think all the reflections are done by code, flipping the sprite

Very nice, sweet colors, and yeah, change the reflections or get rid of them.(or try to see if they don't look better after you flip them horizontally)
Looking good mang.

Wow... it's so awe-inspiring. It fills me with an innocent, giddy wonder. It would be so amazing to just explore, and see the amazing, alien sights you've crafted...
Just... wow.

 (drawn by long's friend, mizukagex)  (drawn by orchard-l) poll: which do you like better, and why? (this will not be decided upon by vote, i'd just like thoughts and impressions). a few people have complained about orchard-l's portraits, and long had an artist friend who wanted to join the project. I saw this on you LJ but never did give my opinion. I personally do prefer Orchard's a lot better than the other one. The other on has a very nice painterly style... but really it doesn't seem to fit in with the games graphical style. Orchard's has a nice professional look to it that the other one doesn't. And normally I like stylized better than quality but... the first one looks just looks a bit awkward  But hey... I wish mizukagex's art could be fit into the game somehow because I think it's just really interesting to look at. |

more screenz  widescreen mode  map  upgrading  title     also! i need a cutscene artist, since the two i had seem to have either abandoned the project or are are too lazy to do anything ever and no longer reply to my emails / IMs. if anyone is willing to do about 20-40 cutscene graphics (basically plain, 2d image-paintings of game events, similar to comic frames, but colored) in exchange for either a small amount of money and/or royalties from sales, let me know & show me what you've done in the past |
