Your Opinion Helps : Which artwork is better (or, generates more impact/interest) ?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi Friends,

  I am getting ready to release my game in a month or two, and preparing artwork to promote my game.

  I got the below artwork ready to send it to game reviewers, but I am kind of confused about which one generates more interest (for reviewers and any viewers in general).

  Could you please help me in deciding which one to use (or, highlight).

  If you have comments or feedback or suggestions, it helps too.

  If you like or dislike anything in the artwork style or quality, please let me know too.

  PromoArt-1: (game title needs to be added)

  

 PromoArt-2:  (game title needs to be added)

 

 PromoArt-3:

 

Thanks for your help!

I prefer #1.

#3

Thanks @poon. Any explanation for why you prefer #1 ?

It will help to clear up my head and to get the third person’s perspective.

(I have been looking at this game for more than a year now, and Its really getting hard to take a correct decision on few things like this :frowning: )

Thanks, Chinta

Thanks, Chinta

I like #1 & #3. Mainly because they seem to illustrate what the game is about. Which judging by the images is birds vs fish :slight_smile:

PS: I love your artwork

#6

#1 looks nice - #3 could be nice except it doesn’t have that green contrasting like the other two…

#7

Hi @eja,

Thanks a lot for the feedback.

That is a very good observation. I had been thinking about it like something is missing from it, but couldn’t figure it out.

I will get it redesigned and see if my artist can add some color to it.

Really thanks for the feedback on it :slight_smile:

You got it Danny… Its birds vs fish :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot for the feedback !

       >> PS: I love your artwork

I am glad that you liked it :slight_smile:

You have no idea how much pain I went through to get this style of art.

I hired 6 artists before this guy :slight_smile: Spent quite a bit (atleast 3grand).

but now, I am extremely happy about his work. He is really putting his heart in to the game. Its something that is very hard to find.

If you are interested, here is a promo video he did for me (still work in progress - no sound yet):

Hope you will like it.

Thanks again, Chinta

Here is a short game play video:      Game Play Video

And, a fun teaser video is at:       Teaser

What do you guys think ?

#17

1# is nice
3# could be the best if there was more green :slight_smile:

#18

Thanks @chagano. Did you get an chance to look at the teaser and gameplay videos?

#19

#1 - best overall composition, arrows in bird convey gameplay, could use cloud detail as per #3, or the angular clouds from game, add title near top center, and if you could sneak #3’s bow onto the island, deep shrubs at right could be a bit more detailed (perhaps as per #2?)

#2 – too MUCH green, makes it too dark, gameplay not properly conveyed (is player to be the birds, and attack that fish?), no arrows anywhere, still… nice material for some secondary use

#3 – as per others here: too LITTLE green, less impact, but best job conveying gameplay, love the wide-eyed red bird with arrow!, nice title design - tho it feels (a bit) like it was pasted in as an afterthought (doesn’t “sit” in the composition)

Freelance artist? If so, I’d appreciate a PM with contact info. :slight_smile:

Hi dave,

  Thank you so much for your detailed feedback. I will try to incorporate that as much as I can.

  I don’t know how you found that, but you are correct about the title. It was an afterthought and tried to fit that into the art.

  And, yes. Freelance artist. Sure. I will send you a PM.

  It looks like you played the game. What do you think? Is it good? bad? interesting ? Did you like it? (yeah… I know… thats too many question to ask , but I am dyeing to get feedback :frowning: )
