 This is the intro picture for our game H.E.L.D. Captive. It was intended to be split up into several layers for a long vertical parallax scroll. You can check out the animated version in the game itself.

I love it! I don't really care for the lightning effect though.

I can smell the storm,,,,, fav

 I think the lightnings are excellent, great!


user
Elastico-Gadget (Level 5 Rokkyu) at 5/19/2011 9:19:05 AM

The lightning effect works perfectly for me, but maybe the strokes are too close in time from each another. How about a few more frames of still landscape between some of them?


user
ThomasJH (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 5/12/2011 2:11:22 PM

looks cool, bottom with spooky eyes puts me off it though


user
SatTheArtist (Level 5 Detective) at 3/23/2011 1:08:13 PM

amazing!!! But the lightning seems really weird. Should of just made regular lightning.

 

Faved fo'sho.

Really nice image, just the lightning effect doesnt work for me.
I also checked the game, and the intro sequence with logo and paralax is so fast I almost didnt notice it. Feels like an illustration like this deserves more 'space'.


user
HummingBird (Level 1 Thug) at 12/26/2010 5:51:57 AM

I love the lightning!

 Remind me Middle Earth.


user
Jaker Pot (Level 2 Hired Gun) at 10/8/2010 5:12:00 PM

Why are the clouds in this format?

Also, why the lightning doesn't iluminate the mountains?


user
Artist (Level 1 Seaman) at 8/3/2010 7:45:45 PM

 Really awesome mysterious atmosphere, I love the lightning too


user
slyster81 (Level 1 Private) at 7/24/2010 7:15:35 PM

I really like the lightning animation effect!


user
vlad61 (Level 1 Rookie) at 7/19/2010 7:07:35 PM

What I like about this picture is it doesnt use those random colors that some very high profile pictures use... I mean their wonderfull I just never understand when and how to use them. This uses all the colors youd think it uses awsome job!


user
STREET WAR (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/20/2010 3:13:16 PM

So cool.


user
iMoose (Level 6 Major) at 3/12/2010 8:40:00 PM

Oh, this looks delicious. Great atmosphere. Really liking the rocks. Also, normally this much dithering is a little iffy, but in this case it gives it more of a video gamey look :)


user
Dinomaster45 (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/17/2010 4:15:02 PM

Very nice. Also those red eyes at the bottom there are going to give me nightmares. :(


user
Dino502Run (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 12/12/2009 10:54:11 AM

SWEET!   It's so mysterious.

This is AWESOME.  I don't think the animation ruins anything, btw.

Wouuuu! wery nice! +1 


user
Fuzion_Creative (Level 1 Gangster) at 2/10/2009 6:39:54 PM
Awesome scene but the animation sort of ruins it.  Still 5/5!

user
Christoballs (Level 2 Quiet One) at 1/11/2009 4:47:56 PM
Lightning FX should be put everywhere. It would great!

user
fawful (Level 6 Yonkyu) at 10/31/2008 9:54:23 AM
Impressive,the lightning clouds is nice!Though something about it isnt right :/ . 

user
happy bacchus (Level 1 Thug) at 5/29/2008 2:25:37 PM
Good looking piece, fav

user
Kurisutin (Level 1 Private) at 2/6/2008 9:15:49 AM
I don't care what that person says about the light source looking gaudy, Because lighting comes from with in. Excellent piece!

user
FridayFrancis (Level 1 Seaman) at 1/7/2008 11:20:44 PM
I think the lightning looks a little gaudy, and I saw no light source change. Other than that, this is a very wonderful piece.

user
Platnium (Level 1 Depressed) at 11/8/2007 10:00:01 AM
This is awsome 5/5

user
YungYankee (Level 1 Gangster) at 11/7/2007 11:19:03 AM
nice lightin animation. great pix.

user
sharprm (Level 4 Deputy) at 11/7/2007 2:02:48 AM
Its great except for the cart (diff light source?) and the mine shaft and wall near it, shaded poorly. The cliff is fantasitic as is the clouds.

user
acky boogle (Level 1 Depressed) at 7/13/2007 11:41:22 AM
wow this is sooooo cool

user
natano (Level 1 Rookie) at 4/27/2007 12:30:20 PM
nice animation good work

user
Atooi (Level 5 Soldier) at 9/6/2006 10:57:30 AM

Looks great!

I realize you may not want to do any more work on this piece as the game is longer in production, but if you ever do plan on continuing work on it I have a few suggestions on how I believe the atmosphere can be taken even further:

1. Brighten entire image by 5 - 10% when the lightning flashes.

2. Animate grass blowing in wind (just 3 frames would look great).

3. Adjust brightness/hue of near mountains so they are not brighter than grass. This should improve the sense of depth.


user
YureiGoddess (Level 1 Rookie) at 6/13/2006 11:58:54 AM
Now this... is awesome. Muwahahaha XD Love the lightning.

user
Domarius (Level 1 Rookie) at 4/10/2006 3:29:13 PM
Moohahahahahaa....
For some reason it reminds me of the spooky level on Banjo-Kazooie.

user
Biffo (Level 1 Rookie) at 4/4/2006 7:32:41 PM

Really well put together.

Just plain beautiful.

~Nice pixel work & I really like the lightening ...

user
Aleiav (Level 2 Quiet One) at 12/31/2005 2:19:19 AM
I LOVE the lightning animation. It looks awesome.

user
ice9 (Level 1 Gangster) at 11/5/2005 1:19:30 PM
That's really cool! Maybe a little bit of animation on the mountains too would be nice, when there are the lightnings. But it's really nice!

user
inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) at 8/30/2005 7:36:05 AM

Am I the only one who does not like the lightning?

Its good thou, but it looks a bit too spread and too light from the edges.

Well, I am weird too.


user
Shay A. (Level 1 Thug) at 8/23/2005 12:10:12 AM
it looks like a set-up frame for a comic (w/o animation that is). I guess it could be a cartoon tho! Regardless, this is very cool & compelling! GREAT JOB!

user
Zoomrix (Level 1 Intern) at 8/13/2005 8:28:39 PM
Very nice animation. I like how you did it in the style of leveling different grounds. Very nice job.

user
truth at 8/3/2005 10:01:34 AM

That is magnificent. Would you be willing to donate some tiles? I love the grass and cliffs and stuff...hm...I don't know, I wish I could make GFX that nice!

God bless!


user
DarkAuron (Level 2 Quiet One) at 7/6/2005 4:50:05 AM
 Yeah I was gonna say to have the eyes blink too. Wow that's really good :)

user
Matt Katt (Level 2 Mercenary) at 6/6/2005 1:25:06 PM
Groovy and creepy at once

user
Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) at 5/30/2005 2:50:10 PM
Oh, crap!  The animation makes it all better.  GREAT JOB!

user
Mull77 (Level 1 Hired Gun) at 5/25/2005 6:28:35 AM

Yeh i remember seeing this when it was still a WIP.  The finished version looks amazing (if this is the finished version).  The only thing i would add is to have they eys at the bottom blink every so often.  The grass is especially nice as is the lighting effect.


user
robalan (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/7/2005 12:22:15 AM
 Hey, I remember this piece...It's a pity the game won't get finished; the art was so good.  It still looks great, except the eyes might want to be desaturated a little; they stick out a bit too much.  Great work, otherwise.

user
Citizen_Insane (Level 1 White Belt) at 5/5/2005 5:29:57 PM

bummer :-\  it looked so awesome..


user
robotriot (Level 4 Shichikyu) at 5/5/2005 12:41:23 AM
 It's for HELD yes ... unfortunately, the coder gave up, despite the game being at roughly 80% completeness (graphics were at 99%) ... I don't think it will ever be finished, although I may upload the last version we had ... at least it features the animated intro :)

user
Citizen_Insane (Level 1 White Belt) at 5/4/2005 11:46:05 PM
Is this for HELD captive?  I've been waiting for this one to come out for a while, now..

user
animalation (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/4/2005 12:48:53 PM
i didn't evn see the eyes!!!

user
mattz0r (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/3/2005 3:35:03 PM
Looks awesome. I think the red eyes are good but i wouldn't mind having more than just 2 pairs. I love the lightning! Added to favorites!!!

user
Blueberry_pie (Level 7 General Manager) at 5/3/2005 1:17:03 PM
Wow, nice! I really like how you made the clouds light up by the lightning

user
sedgemonkey (Level 11 Master Assassin) at 5/3/2005 7:41:05 AM
Ooooh... very cool animation. You've really captured a lightning storm beautifully.

user
iSTVAN (Level 8 Cannibal) at 5/3/2005 6:01:55 AM

Wow! So beautiful! The rock textures, cloud animation, mountain ranges and the grass -everything!

....EXCEPT, I find the plain red eyes quite distracting...perhaps a white would be better, im not sure. Its still lovely.
