The Underwater :: Pixel Art Detail

Would just like to say thanks for the inspirational boost. Finally got some good ideas.

What a ripoff. +fav

Hah! it's aquaria!

It's pretty

 

individual elements are nice and all but honestly I don't think they'renot meshing very well.

Firstly the dark desaturated blue for the wall is clashing with the orangish brown open space color. I know hots come above colds so I know I have some backing in seeing this but I really see the dark blue as the open space and the brown solid rock.

I'm not a huge fan of the coral either. The purple strands seem fairly basic and flat compared to what you've done with the bright and saturated green stuff. and speaking of that stuff, the way it overlays the tiles and the way it's so much more bright than anything else really gives it a pasted on feeling.

I like the dual background with the light shining through on the far back, and the actual tiles for the dark blue rock are just wonderful. Stick to the roots of what you've got there and just adjust things a bit so they fit better and you'd have a really solid piece methinks.

Cave story! I like the underwater concept.
