My rendition of the title screen image :)

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by SamanthaLovesYou, Jun 2, 2011.

  1. Firstly let me just say that all I did was the rendition, not the original. I just coulden't help but think "hey I could make that a bit cooler". So....here's my rendition! :)

    Original:

    I do this exact same thing to every photograph I take, even if I already think it looks good, I always make it better in photoshop by messing with saturation and stuff. Great idea!
     
  6. Actually I never modified any saturation values. I used my wacom tablet and a 1px brush to detail the rocks, grass, and add in the gold at the top of the fortress. I just burned in the sky to make it seem more focused on the castle. :)

    Might want to lighten up some of the blocks there, they were pretty dark to start with.
     
  8. I'm working on it as we speak. Also expanding on grass growing inbetween the cracks. :)
     
  9. Here's my second rendition, added to my OP so you can see the small differences.

    Woaw, I am using the picture right now. The dev should "hire" you to make the UI slick and nice :)
     
  12. Awesome! I didn't even think of saving the jpg as .png and replacing it. But, I just did it myself. :)

    I would upload the png so people who want it could just download, but imgur converts png images to jpeg :(

    The extra contrast definitely adds a lot of life to the image! The cliff looks pretty nice.
    I'm not so sure about the castle though...

    While the artwork here is great, my only concern is of whether or not the picture captures what KAG really is. You ever hardly see castles and a lot of the game takes place underground.
     
  16. you know, I kind of agree with this statement. hmmm....

    I think that contrast is good but only up to a point. At least on my display settings the intensity of the image is kind of excessive.

    The only thing I don't like is the flag, it sticks out a little too much. Maybe use a less bold color to outline the flag.
