Description
This is both for Halloween, and well, for a project I am working on~For those unfamiliar, this is a scene in the video game "EarthBound." Played with the lighting in this one, and it turned out rather fun!

Having never played any of the EarthBound games, it's lost on me what's actually happening here, but I can definitely feel the tension, and the blue-toned lighting adds greatly to that. Nicely done.

Nintendo needs to hire you for an Earthbound show. Or someone needs to hire you for animating, seriously, this is amazing!

Funny, I watched my brother play through this area a few days ago.
You did a wonderful job with this. The lighting definitely came out great!

Pretty much now, you blast out the big bottle rockets and he's doomed.
Geat job, by the way.

Should have conserved his ammo: but noooo, he had to use it on the coffee and disc monsters roaming about the store.
Thanks a lot!

By the way, you drew Jeff a bit differently in this picture... do you plan to draw him like that from now on?

Ardwick In reply to Byrdwerm [2013-10-20 02:37:16 +0000 UTC]
For now at least: I made an effort to change the eyes so we could actually see them. I'm thinking it makes him more expressive~

Byrdwerm In reply to Ardwick [2013-10-21 01:16:00 +0000 UTC]
The big question being: "To draw Jeff like his sprite, or not to draw Jeff like this sprite?"
Really, though, I think Jeff as a character benefits more when you draw his eyes. Showing his eyes makes him seem more like a person and less like a robot, or something.

I used to stick specifically to the sprites, but I think over time it was probably better to try to go a beyond them if possible, to avoid feeling too limited.
Thank you!

Looks like a simple shopping trip went horribly wrong.
As mentioned, you really caught the tension in this scene.

I haaaated this part of the game. The teams so weak without Paula!
But you caught the creepiness from the original game of that scene, great use of color and shadow!

They are really reaaaaaally crippled without her PSI. And that Monkey Cave escapade was a tad tedious. :C
But thank you! I mostly went based on what the game map was giving me as far as color goes.

Aw wow thanks!
The lighting turned out to be probably one of the most fun things to mess with in this one, actually~
