Jaiden Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Just recently finished this up. The only thing that's incomplete is the sprite display, I should be finishing that soon.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98uZnm-oLuY&feature=player_profilepageThe picture probably won't stay, I'll fix it up into something nicer later on. But I would love to hear comments and critique on the actual menu design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluBear Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I like the line art but the colouring and shading is just not right.+ The hand that holds the scepter looks crippled.Yet, good go, keep at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaiden Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Haha alright, thank you. I'm surprised the lineart was good, I have really no effective means of lineart than scanning in a pencil drawing outlined in pen and cleaning it up with a mouse.

Jaiden Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Haha. I don't mind. The colors are nice, but a little heavy on the overlay and contrast I think :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother said that, I really didnt think it was that bad. His crotch line was way more to the left in the drawing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusy Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Using fuckloads of burn and dodge was a bad idea Hybrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socuine Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 It's a better Main Menu screen than most can pull off. Though I have to agree on those filters, work on that. Besides that, good job. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 It's pretty big. Are you planning on alternate resolutions?Even so, it's looking quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusy Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 @Jaiden:> Umm…It wasn't meant to be rude I honestly didn't know what the word was...My mistake then, take no offence.What I ment is that diffrent colors as glows are not the best idea. Purely from the cosmetic point of view. It's generaly better to keep stuff clean, one color for glows makes the whole menu more consistent, feels like they are part of one bigger thing instead of being well, just randomly colorfull.It's also usualy a good thing to line the buttons in one line, makes the mouse movment less chaotic, you can just navigate by going up and down without the need for swirling the mose sideways like a madman.

Probably would still be doing it if my Computer with PS CS2 never broke. But those are basical general tops for making basic graphics. great advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense, I'll try to improve the aesthetics as you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
