Z2 Inspired stages!

[Daeron]

Actually almost all elements on the stage are hand drawed or traced over,  this is my stage with most hand made material XD

[Markpachi]

In my opinion, this part looks too empty compared to the other side. Maybe you can draw a Dragonball character drinking the cola? I think it'd be hilarious to see on the side of the truck Cell or Frieza drinking some Z2 soda.

[Byakko]

A character would be overkill. A Dragon Ball would be smaller, simpler, not clogging up the space, and would fit better IMO.

[AlexSin]

Why not some soda cans images?
Like these ones:

It's actually a fitting idea. Here, I whipped something up really quick for Daeron's review

[Aldo]

Yeah, a can would be good. I like Walt´s idea.

[Markpachi]

B-but I was already trying struggling to sprite Cell while he's drinking some Z2 Soda!

[sanjiDAprince]

Just give a opinion, how about Janemba Hell after this? That is one of a cool stage in DBZ universe. I like to see Janemba Hell in your style

HERE, USE THIS!

[Markpachi]

Haha, glad I could help. But IMO it's not really visible without it being filled. Maybe it can be edited to look like Krillin?

Spoiler (click to show)

Then after a few seconds, the truck will explode for no reason.

[walt]

Dude, I just positioned it and resized it so you could continue your sketch

GET ON IT, FOO'!

[Markpachi]

Yeah, uhhm, i'm having a hard time replicating DBZ's face style. I give up.




Should I post this in the Finish-a-sprite thread? Maybe we should wait for Daeron's decision first if he'll be adding the character on the truck.

[Cazaki]

Make a sprite contest out of it, in typical Z2 fashion.

[BlueSunStudios]

I would honestly prefer just the soda can for the truck. It looks nice IMO.

[Prototype God]

I honestly would prefer a character. Soda looks nice and all, but having a character there would just be goofy and charming, those little extras can really define a stage imo.

[Markpachi]

Daeron can actually include both designs if he'd like. He could recolor the other truck so that it won't look recycled, maybe even add a few edits to the other truck for a little bit of differentiation.

[Long John Killer]

I like the idea of having someone on it, but a major villain seems out of place.  What about Maron?

Or even the Capsule Corp. logo?  Saying Z2 soda is from them, and all, seeing they invent practically everything on the planet.

But that's the gag! Think about it! Cell drinking Z2 cola, that's just too good!







Hmmm, how about Mr. Satan?

[Daeron]

People keep in mind that the truck will be in movement, so complex  and detailed things could be a waste since cars and trucks runs kinda fast.
So maybe a simple idea like the Can would work better,  a character driking the cola would be hilarious but kinda stange because none of them owns a soda factory or works as a model for advertisiements.
Only character that could work for that would be Mr. Satan, and he already shows up on a giant tv at the background.

Walk fast can i use your can version? i really like how that turned out.

I would like to thank you guys all the effort you are putting here sharing ideas and stuff, im actually spriting variations for cars and trucks so when im done i think i could post the results here to see if someone makes a cool variation or something...  no need for a contest imo.

Im giving priority to stages related with the z2 chars being done, and i already have to finish destroying namek for Frieza, and plan out a stage for Majin Vegeta (I was thinking on a destroyed martial arts tournament or something like that)

Capsule corp logo is a winner idea

I was kinda hoping you'd re-do it with your crazy photoshop technology  

I did the circles on the top of the can using straight lines, since you can't do automatic diagonal circles in MS Paint. I made the antialiasing by hand and I'm sure it's not perfect or 100% accurate on a pixel level, I'd be uncomfortable knowing it's inferior to what you were actually doing

Also, an interesting note be carefule! The "Z2 Soda" text isn't the same exact color as the curves on the bottom (they use a lighter tone). I used a combination of both to create a perception of depth, but it's so BARELY perceptible I'm not even sure you guys noticed
