Really Cool, Lurvin It!

[CreationsCentre]

Yeah I really like it. It's a nice shade of blue to.

[Shoo]

Thanks! My favorite colour, my favourite shade of that colour, what could go wrong? :P

[Dislexsick]

You aren't allowed to add paths. Does nobody read the rules/guidelines?

[kdd]

i searched the main thread, it doesn't say anything about paths...
hey Shoo, could you please use the default text style? it's a little hard to read in blue. thanks :)

Good artist should never drink beer... they should drink wine!

*snatches the beer from you*

Can you show me where in the guidelines it says that? It might be from an earlier version of the guidelines, and I can remove that line :)

[Pasquale]

Nice work- may I suggest ya maybe do something to the text on the window- to me it looks a little distorted- and blue is hardish on the eyes ;)

keep up the nice work

[esnetni]

yea what dark said good job.

[Shoo]

I decided it looks better without the gradient type fade on the highlighted edges, but I'm still not sure about the roof-top thing... :stunned:

Three updates in 10 mins ... Phew lol

[Shoo]

I thougt the can and the torn poster made it look dingey and scummy :cowbell:
So i got rid of them and put in another window... also i got rid of the rooftop thing, it didn't look right ... I'll probably put somthing else there later :hugegrin:

There is a link from the kirupa Main page (KirupaLab>Kirupaville>The second of the 4 links below 'remove frames'



Here are some simple guidelines to ensure plot approval and keep you from scrapping hours of hard work...

1. Stay in the template!
Do not add a sidewalk, road, or go into the transparent areas of the file.
2. Do not change the size of the template.
Your file must be the same size to ensure that it will load in the right location
3. No animated gifs.
Submit your piece as a static gif or a png.

w00t. the last version looks very clean and it's pretty good!

[Shoo]

Ok I took away the sidewalk as I see now that it is not allowed, I also added a brick wall which I shall probably later add some grafiti to =)

EDIT- I also fixed the proportion on the car spaces

[squan]

That smily on the window isn't in perspective, it stares straight at you while it should face in the same direction as teh window.

Otherwise pretty neat! It still has lot's of potential!

[squan]

Yes! That would be me!


Lol, Mario Shunshine :lol:
I think it would be better if you made that graffiti a bit more transparant so you can see the texture of the wall.

Edit: the smily looks better now, it looks a tad crooked, but way better then the wrong perspectived one.

[Shoo]

Ha I was wondering if anyone would notice that :sure:
Ok I'll see what I can do about the transparency but i dont know if the program I'm using has a transparency/alpha tool :crazy:

[jokun]

You don't necessarily need to use transparency. You could just mimic the brick pattern, but using shades of red instead.

[Shoo]

hmmm.... good point :D

[MoyArt]

dude you can add some warriors and his graffity tag on the wall (Moyarts idea influenced by the Warriors vg)

Greetings

[Shoo]

Some warriors? :h:

[MoyArt]

hehe theres an old movie, (from the 80s i think) called the Warriors, its a movie about gangs, and theres a gang called the warriors, they paint a W on the walls that was his tag, so i think it would be funny if you have one of the warriors painting a w on your wall :}

Greetings!!

[jokun]

didn't they just release a video game about the same thing?

[jokun]

hey, not to nitpick, but i just noticed that your building is outside the boundaries of the allowed plot size. kirupa may have to approve that. i'm not sure what the current policy is on that

[kirupa]

Because it would be easy for you to cut down the dimensions of the parking lot, you should fit your entry to the giant square plot size.

[Shoo]

Er... ok I have never seen "warriors" so thats gonna be a bit hard
also sorry about the plot size it was only a few pixels so I thought it wouldn't matter :whistle: but ok I'll fix it :bandit:
