Hello all.
Here is my take on Adventure.
Don't know it but watched so you tube videos.
Thinking I should make my character smaller as it is more about the environment.

Hi everyone, this is my first post on this forum. I thought this redesign seemed like a good way to get into the community!

So yeah, the original game does open up for a lot of different interpretations for a new design.
I like to think of this as a 3rd person adventure action game, true to the original mostly in names and "characters", like the three dragons for example.

I wanted to try out what sort of place would be the most interesting from a design concept perspective, so I´m exploring thumbnails ideas for the Golden Castle at the moment. Here are my results.

I took two of my thumbnails and I think this is the image I will be going for! It´s an upshot from a sort of player perspective of the Golden Castle.

My value sketch.
I have been working on it so I will post my progress soon. Thanks.

[Chojin]

Street I really like the sketch, but it´s a bit tiny at the moment. Size it up!

Here is my WIP 2:

I´ve gone into my dark zone, trying to get colors unto this piece. Any help or suggestions about the color scheme or other stuff related to color would be really appreciated.

@chojin: I'm no color expert myself, but I think there needs to be a bit more red hue mixed into the shadows of your castle. I say this because the mountain in the background is bathed in red light yet only a very small bit of that is reflected on the castle. Red being low on the spectrum, it will appear more in the dark areas, where as the yellow will be more apparent in the highlights. Also, if you want to experiment with adding some reflective hot spots to your castle i think it would be interesting, and add to the "oooh aaaww, gooollld" factor.

Nice final GriffGraph.

Chojin: There's kind of a window in the lower left that is showing through blue while the sky around there is in the yellows. That kind of jumps out at me as weird.

Chojin - You have some cool stuff going on. You have the start of some architecture. You are also starting to define your light source and casting some shadows accordingly. Right now it seems like you have a middle ground and background. Try adding some foreground elements to the image. Try to push objects in the distance back with aerial perspective. The value of your mountains/sky is pretty much the same value as your castle. Also try laying out a perspective grid on top of your image so that your architecture recedes to the correct vanishing points.

Cool stuff. Hope that helps.

imma jump in here wt a last minute sketch, this concept looked interesting. hope im not too late, gonna try to post to final thread today afterwork

[Chojin]

Thanks GriffGraph, arttorney and Street for your help, I really think it helped me finnish up this image.
I´m about to call it done, but if anything more needs fixing, I want to know.



CortesNYC I like how you incorporated the labyrinth into the image! Some more atmospheric perspective could be nice to add to your image.

I didn't specify the time of the deadline, I think. November 15, 2012 at Midnight California time. That is about 39 1/2 (39.5) hours from the time of this posting.

If there are any stragglers out there, I have to go to court in San Diego county tomorrow morning and then respond to a patent office action by midnight tomorrow so the Poll might not get done until as late as Saturday morning. Same goes for the new round most likely.
