Title: Concepts, Gfx, and Misc stuff
Post by: Anti-11 on November 01, 2014, 04:22:50 pm
so I decided to at least make a thread on stage concepts that were either scrapped mugen stages or environmental work. I'll might also try my hand at spriting. For now here are some concepts I did

The second picture is a really wonderful painting and I'd love to see more like that from you. The very thought that these could be stages is really great as well.

You know how I feel about these already, good stuff. Looking forward to helping however I can. Hopefully your computer doesn't blow up, lol.

Man... These paintings are good. But transferring them to a more refined form to be used as a stage is going to take work. I honestly haven't heard or even seen many examples of converting/creating backgrounds as pixel art. In fact, I don't think it's ever actually been discussed in this section at length at all.
There's always pioneers, so I hope you could be the one to do that.
Title: Re: Concepts, Gfx, and Misc stuff
Post by: Anti-11 on November 05, 2014, 02:56:52 am
It can be done or I could render the sketches into cleaner artwork if I get the chance to finalize them thanks for the comments
Title: Re: Concepts, Gfx, and Misc stuff
Post by: GLB on November 05, 2014, 03:12:08 am
After a certain amount of work is put into them they'd make great stage material. Some of the ones you've converted in stages in the past were pretty good but they did have that sketchy look still. I think it can be done, it just needs to be worked on for quite some time and have several layers.
Title: Re: Concepts, Gfx, and Misc stuff
Post by: LurkerSupreme on November 05, 2014, 03:23:19 am
I really like all of these concepts and they could very well lead to some cool stages if you get around to it.

This is the closest thing to a pixel art stage tutorial I've ever seen anyways. (http://2dwillneverdie.com/tutorial/pixel-a-capcom-background/)It may not be the exact look your going for ,but there are alot of useful tips to put you in some kind of direction(as well as a bunch of the other tutorials on that site in general). I wish I knew how N.O. Vice did his because it might be more relevant here.

I agree I just need to learn how to slow down when making stages if I get back into stage making that is

Exactly this. If you were to do your paintings in layers (background, midground, floor, foreground, etc.) you could get some really good results with them, especially with 1.1's .PNG transparency ability.
Title: Re: Concepts, Gfx, and Misc stuff
Post by: Anti-11 on November 06, 2014, 04:27:12 am
usually I do work in layers but the problem is I don't practice on rendering which I'm trying to work on atm like this sketch for example it needs some more rendering on the people and buildings I think (http://i.imgur.com/RfpyWBW.png)
Title: Re: Concepts, Gfx, and Misc stuff
Post by: davismaximus on November 06, 2014, 05:05:31 am
Now that could make a really cool stage, but the bottom would probably need to be expanded to give the fighters a level surface to fight on. Also, the people do look cool, but they'd need some work to fit in with a stage. What layers do you currently have separated?
Title: Re: Concepts, Gfx, and Misc stuff
Post by: Anti-11 on November 06, 2014, 12:29:50 pm
The layers I've separated are usually color layers and separate brush strokes should this become a stage everything has to be redrawn to look more cleaner and organized. This wasn't intended to be a stage but its possible to be converted. It will take more time though

How about the environments you draw with the intention of being Mugen stages you draw in parts that way you can avoid rendering and potential razor edges? It'd probably be easier on you.

Post by: GLB on November 11, 2014, 03:13:19 am
Really great job, you have some serious artistic skill.
The fingers bother me a bit though, i'm not sure what it is. Maybe a bit more shading on the top of them? Or maybe polishing them up a bit since they seem kind of clashy with the rest of the barbarian.
You did a pretty damn good job on the furs and arms IMO.

Title: Re: Concepts, Gfx, and Misc stuff
Post by: Anti-11 on November 12, 2014, 02:43:25 am
the top one is just a old concept layout I was showing before the revamp the plan was either to paint over the pipes or find someone skills with after effects or squirlz to make the molten steel effect after I was done cleaning up the concept
Title: Re: Concepts, Gfx, and Misc stuff

Foundry stage is looking good, that floor is begging for some parallax. If you want any help with turning these into stages, feel free to ask dude.

That is looking wonderful, although I noticed the floor pattern goes off, and looks off perspective at times. Also, those holes in the top right, they look rather simple, it would look less basic if you applied some shading to them.

I was able to take a look at the layer phase, looked good, quite a bit to sort through though. For the finished PSD you could connect some of the layers. Specifically the background wall/piping and railing and other objects. It'd be easier to mugenize that way. But this is definitely the most layered psd you've ever sent so that's good! Keep doing what you're doing, man it's turning out great.
