Varrock, A Sig (Finished #3)

Recommended Posts

I decided to make a new sig, and seeing as the new varrock is out I decided to use that as inspiration.

 

 

 

Heres what It started as.

I quite like the way it blends into white like that - it's got a nice feel to it. The anatomy's pretty good from what I can tell, so props to you: the people on the right hand side look good.

 

 

 

I don't like the bricks, to be perfectly honest with you. It's obvious you pixelled one, and then copy-pasted them into one monotonous brick wall with very little, if any, texture. The copy-pasted bricks look tacky and ruin the nice figures. I'd've liked to see some individual bricks - it would have made the right side of the pixel a lot more interesting.

 

 

 

I also have a bit of an issue with the lack of anything in the sky - I realise there's the text there, but it just seems very... empty at the moment.

 

 

 

The dark green/shadow should connect between the third figure (from the left)'s legs, wouldn't it? At the moment the shadow makes it seem like the poor guy doesn't have a torso. :P

 

 

 

The shield in the middle looks rather out of place - I personally think you could do without it. It's really up to you though, but at the moment it seems like it's just been put there; doesn't seem to fit in the scene at all.

 

 

 

I'm not sure how you can fix this next bit, but the second figure (from the left) seems a bit random as he sort of just comes out of the brick wall. Looks like you've copy-pasted the guy and flipped him horizontally - I'm not as miffed about that as I was with the bricks as it might look odd with different figures on each side...

 

 

 

One more nitpick, the text under 'Tiver50' is very difficult to read.

 

 

 

That's about it - take a look into that copy-pasting habit of yours, especially with the bricks. It looks tacky when it's beside those nicely pixelled characters.

 

 

 

I'll be on the lookout for some more work in the future. :)

The characters are graphics cut out from runescape, and pasted in.

 

 

 

Ya, they are from screenies.

 

 

 

I'll try fixing up the other things like the wall, blank sky, and the copy-ness.

You should find a RS wall and take a snapshot of it... :P

 

It might actually look pretty cool... well.. I dunno. :-$

Just shows how long I've been away from the game then, eh? Didn't recognise them in the slightest as RS characters, though I did wonder about the odd 'pixelling' when I zoomed in. X_X My mistake, thanks for correcting me.

 

 

 

In that case, it seems you haven't done much in this sig at all, I'm afraid. The bricks, edited as they are, still look really flat and un-bricklike. They look a little better than in the original version, though. Question: is the wall supposed to be run down? Is that why there's a hole in the wall? If that's the case, wouldn't the edges of the wall (where it looks half completed) be broken-ish as well? (just throwing my thoughts out there :|)

 

 

 

Thank you for taking the effort of repixelling the RS screenshots, though.

 

 

 

The text is still hard to read - the letters aren't defined enough as individual letters... unless that's just my eyes acting up.

Ya, after redoing the wall, I decided to make it look older and kind of beaten up, never thought of the brick edges. As for the text, I originally intended it to be unreadable (look at the very first version, undone). After changing the text, I kept the same sizes and the text got that size. It says:

 

 

 

Founded by Arrav.

 

City of Heros.

 

City of Legends.
