Hey guys, you did a really good job breaking down my last design, so I'd love if you could do it again.
What do you think ?

better, something about the rocks dosent feel right but no one can be perfect, this looks pretty spiffy =]

I think you should move down the grass and add more blue sky instead of the rocks.

Yea. I think the rocks look a little bit too straight.

Updated based on various comments:

Looks better :o

Looks really good, I just don't really like the rocks, they look more like grey marshmallows or something :<

they are the same tiles that looked kind of bad :(

Looks nice, though, as the others stated, the rocks look out of place and don't really look nice. Try removing them and see what you can come up with?

i still think those rock would look cooler without an outline...

cool

I detest that you have moved the navigation from the left to the right. What direction do you read...?

I agree with that :)


Btw, I think the stones horizontal (upper) could go away, and replaced with, stars, a moon?

Updated again!
Yah I agree, left nav is stupid.
I'm gonna work on the header now, chompy, so we'll see what happens..
I kind of like the rocks on the top though.

The rocks could be good...if you were good at rocks.

You could be good at critiquing.... if you weren't an *******.

You could be good at critiquing.... if you didn't try so hard to be a smartass.*

There, fixed that for you buddy. :blush:

I think this is the final design unless someone points out something bad.

I like the second layout much better than the first. It looks quite nice.

I'm not quite sure what you're referring to

Looks good now.

Em, we all know that you arnt good at those rocks. Dont act like Im being a ass when we all already pretty much straight out told you that.

But I'm sure we can pretend that aren't rocks and just abstract shapes since they could be confused as that. o yes now I'm just being a smartass.

I'm recalling the green layout that was being done before that layout.

Being an ass is saying something for the sake of insult, or laughter.

I'd have to agree with Em on that, Inferno. You're just being an ass.

Anyways, I think that last one is perfect. I find nothing wrong with the rocks. Just because they look unappealing doesn't mean they are bad rocks...since when were rocks appealing?

I would prefer if the statement wasn't reiterated several times. We understand the point, let's not bash him just for the Hell of it.

Yah, bash my design instead, so i can improve it more.

Wait, a newer addition to the graphics forum that actually knows the value of scrutinizing his own work for the sake of improvement? When did this happen? Usually people come here with the notion that all of their work is perfect. Who sent you?! o.o

I still don't like those rocks. Just like your cave/dungeon walls, they look rather off. It looks like they don't belong.

Well, it seems apparent to me that he is a veteran artist.

All true artists know that. That's why we get critiques on our artwork. Thats why my 7th grade art teacher was the best art teacher ever, cause we'd have a critique day where the class would critique your work.

I know my work is no-where need perfect...I just get lazy and don't fix it. xP

But yeah...everyone seems to be pretty high and mighty about their skills.

I always take you guys' critiquing.

I just realized something.. I'm on my macbook and it's monitor colour is perfect.. And suddenly i see why nobody likes the rocks.. I think my home monitory is ****ed up, cause it looks totally different. Anyways I'm gonna rework the rocks.

omg I could have sworn everyone was going crazy, right?..its not just the contrast its the shape.

I'd say the rocks need to look a little bit more bumpy...save a few of them. Obviously not all rocks are the same, some are smooth, but most will be bumpy.

it really depends on what kind of rocks they are, corey, its the formation that i dont like

Uhh you guys all seem to be rock pros, so why don't you make some and I'll use the best ones ? :D

I'm not getting paid anything to make this, so it'll be like a collab!

Whats wrong with the formation? It's perfectly fine. It looks like someone created a rock wall...which I'm assuming would be the purpose.

Just because we know what we like doesn't mean we like what we know ;)



I could critique your artwork, but I couldn't physically improve it myself, for I never bothered to learn the art of making graphics.

Aye stick to the code matie.

Alright i scrapped the rock. Sheesh.

better, worse ?
