Sharon's

As I thought I wouldn't get many votes! Eh thats ok Sharon if I would have voted you would have got mine, but ah what ever you know! I knew mine was boxy and I spent too much time working on the water and nothing for dungeon screens so I will get on that next! I predict that Sharon's going to win!

Sharon gets my vote, i love it.
The blending is awesome, i feel like im looking at something from the SNES or something.

Ebola Zaire - New link sticks out HORRIBLY with the basic, Pure, graphics. Nothing special about this.

ennonfenom - Gleeok is the one that needs help - camoflauge excuse or not, that just looks bad. The green boarders under the subscreen "A" and "B" boxes look bad.

Moonwhisper - The platform looks like it's floating over the water...not a good thing. The "edges" underneath the skulls on said platform look bad. Chained guy just looks odd.

Mighty Darknut - The red slimes are unusual-looking. The sprites just don't seem to work with the foreground. Lack of a transition between sand and cliff is bad-looking. Seems solid otherwise, though.

Nice selection this week. All are good.

Pros:

Ebola Zaire - Nice usage of DoR. It looks natural, and it really looks like it is part of a larger forested region. I anticipate good flow from screen to screen. Portions of the active subscreen look good too. I like the idea of the potrait and the mood. It brings something unique to the table.

ennonfenom - Not sure what it is, but it makes me think of some type of forested courtyard. The brown gleeok seems to fit well with the screen. While symmetry is neither a requirement nor a definite no, I think you did well with it on this shot.

Moonwhisper - I like how the custom boss and the chains go together. The thought clouds are also an nice touch, as it brings a lot of meaning to the encounter.

Sharon Daniel - A well designed shot for a forest/outcropping. The grass goes well with the trees, and I can really anticipate the shot flowing well with adjacent shots.


Constructive Criticism:

Ebola Zaire - Still a lot of black space in the upper right of the active subscreen, as it certainly has extra room even if there were 24 hearts.

ennonfenom - Already commented on some of the emptiness of the active subscreen last time, but the separater at least makes me think that something eventually will go there. Not 100% sure, but perhaps we have yet to see. While there is good detail for the ground in the center of the screen, I have a feeling that it could be arranged in a somewhat more pleasing way. Perhaps you will just need to play around with it a little more until you are more satisfied.

Moonwhisper - Something bothers me about the arrangement of those walls. I can't put my finger on it, unfortunately.

Sharon Daniel - Not sure if I can find anything wrong with this shot. My only criticism is that it is not the most eye candy of all the shots despite its lack or absence of design flaws.


In the end I decided to go with Ebola Zaire's shot. While it is simple in concept, it is very beautiful nonetheless.

Yeah I fixed my subscreen, I was using Z3 subscreen and the mini map would not show up, so I switched to revision 2 subscreen, and this is the screen with the subscreen:

(note this mini map I just made today split second thing, I still got to add some detail to it!
As for the ground I think I should add some tall grass maybe?

Hmm... I think that you should have kept the same subscreen design that you had before. It was quite good.

Then again you did say that you weren't done... so.... I'm looking forward to it!

theres a problem with that though! Cause I cant use Z3 and have a mini map, and for this one revision 2, I can't delete the mini map and put done a new one over a background, so I have I delima there! So if any one knows of what subscreen I can use and have a mini map, and still be able to use the quiver and rock feather than let me know, untill then I am stuck with this one!

Have to hand it to SD... this time she nailed it.

Good mix of slightly altered preexisting tiles.

Uh, it's DoR, not Pure. And that Link is a blue version of DoR's default Link.

But you're right. There really isn't nothing that special about it, though it has good form.

[Sharon Daniel]

Maybe the Link stands out because it has a brown outline while everything else is outlined in black, the same way all of DoR's sprites stand out too much.

[The Satellite]

I see it now, but the normal green Link doesn't do that to me.

Yeah, I submitted the subscreen bug a while back, and DarkDragon has said that there is a GUI error in the map part of the subscreen editor, so he's fixing it in the next build.

As for all of the critics... I know that my shot didn't contain anything spectacular, but I really wasn't trying to be edgy. It's just a basic DoR shot that works well as a part of a larger foresty area. And the Link tiles don't stick out too bad, do they? I've never noticed it before... of course, if the forest is almost completely green and Link is wearing a blue tunic, he WOULD stick out, just like in real life.

[Radien]

If so many of you have a problem with outlines that AREN'T solid black, then go in and change the damn palette.

Black = 0, 0, 0.

It's not hard. There are only six sprite CSets.
