If I can say this without offending anyone, I think we need to cool off before
blowing off everyone's work as horrible (I don't think anyone used that word,
but that was the impression I got from the first few posts). Everyone's work
is welcome here regardless of skill level, it's all in fun. Naturally everyone
improves over time with practice, and the best shots will get voted for the
most anyway. Just my two cents.
aaa2: I like the mood here, a tent in a sandstorm - but the design needs work.
DigiPro31279: Too straightforward - clean visuals though
Lightwulf: I like the idea of the 8-bit Ice Palace a lot, but you've got some
heavy clashing going on. There isn't really a smooth transition from the dirt
path to the gray path, and the roof is in a somewhat different perspective
than the front of the palace. I would recommend that you only used white
mountains and gray floors, or used only a few tiles of the brown area.
Pabru: Cool vibe goin' here: One hero just bit the dust

But the very square, very symmetrical layout pulls your shot down
from the greatness that could have been. I like how your palette
backs off from using too many bright colors, but you need one or
two areas of richer color to set off the drab gray quality so it
doesn't overwhelm the shot.
Yoshidude: I would say the colors were too bright, but they need to be
that bright with the shadows you have going. It is still a little tough to
see, but I like the layout a lot.
me: What can I say? It's a concept shot. If you don't know the paradoxical
artwork of M. C. Escher you won't be able to appreciate it. Look up his art
here:
The Official M. C. Escher Website and here:
Wikipedia - it's great stuff.
Jared: I think this looks like a great shot, it's just hard to see on my screen.
Keiichi123: I think this is beautiful. I just wish you could see a gradient sky above the trees on the
upper left - maybe if you lowered the mountain a little? Diggin' the WW wind swirls. I like it a lot.
One minor thing - the mountain egde in the center of the screen at the top is cut off in midair.
It should taper down to the bottom.
linktopower: Looks fun to play, but it isn't really interesting to look at.
