Hey everyone! This is Screen Rebirth 2.  As with Screenshot of the Week, the goal is to vote for the screen you think has best re-interpreted the base screen. What that means is up to you! All entrants were ordered according to a random line picker.

 

Voting will conclude in two weeks on July 3rd!
 
As a reminder, here was the base screen for this contest:

Going with Shane this time.

 

Aslion - the shot is too visually noisy for me I think, too many wall textures / floor textures / color changes.

 

Shane - I like the theme and the details such as the lamp and boat near the dock. I don't like the hard edges between the floor texture and the walls which I think is easier to get away with when your shot resembles GB more than SNES, but I think the colors/details etc put this screen more on the SNES-side of things IMO. Anyway, it's a small nitpick and this one's my favorite.

 

Phosphor - I love that you're breathing new life into Pure and am excited to see how your project pans out. This shot's nice, though in the context of a contest doesn't especially stand out.

 

Colin - my only real twist on the source material is that I was trying to make the south-west portion of the screen start out at the highest elevation, lowering down each stairs to the base level. Took me a little while to figure out a way to decrease elevation while also moving north that I liked but I think I got it especially in the constraints of using unedited LA tiles.

 

Twilight Knight - the animal bones in the bottom right look really grainy It's nice otherwise though.

 

Taco Chopper - the lack of an outline on the north portion of the palm tree while other details have black outlines surrounding the whole thing causes a stylistic clash. Since the elevation in the sand descends at the middle-bottom portion of the screen, a nice detail would've been to add puddles in the depression to suggest tidal pooling. Either that, or flip the direction of the sand elevation change.

I voted for Aslion, great attention to detail!

Maybe you are referring to the sandstorm layered on the screen? Otherwise I don't know what you'd mean by grainy.

Hm, yeah looking really close I guess a lot of the graininess does come from the sandstorm layer.

Comparing the edits to the source material the rest of the graininess I think comes from too much contrast between the highlight color. In any case, it's mostly a nitpick from me.

Hmm yea maybe the white/gray highlight colour is indeed too bright, I'll probably end up changing that!

It was a toss-up between Shane and Taco Chopper for me (it seems a lot of my voting choices for these contests end up as a close call between two shots); I like Shane's dark and mysterious pirate scene, but Taco's cute beach cow won me over.

 

What can I say? Clearly, I'm shallow.
