"You and your strange fixation with checkerboards"

by: Kirbyfemur

date: November 19, 2009

I say that only because I'm reviewing his one after i reviewed the other two lol

This feels incomplete. The "Fog" effects seem to be just kind of there, not really doing much, just there. There needs to be more connectivity with the white spots, or a shown reason as to why the spots are like that.

The chess piece looks a bit strange but it's not terrible. The checker board itself looks alright, though it looks like it may have ended suddenly in the back. And the positioning of the checker board to the background seems a bit strange to me.

It's not bad, but could use some work. =3

"Too much fog"

While I like the three dimensional qualities of the board, it's not present at all in the playing piece, so you really do tend to fall down a little there.

I guess that you've tried to get the background sorted for perspective, but it doesn't seem to work very well, as the concentric squares are out of proportion, so they don't decrease in size at a uniform rate.

If you removed some of the fog from the piece, you'd have a more crisp looking finished piece, which might suddenly look better - tell me, is the chess piece a knight from the back, a rook, or something else? I'd have suggested that you gave it a shiny finish, as that's what these sort of playing models tend to be - finished in a gloss and well kept for games which are quite large in ceremony.

"Interesting"

Well, the chessboard is a little bit stretched which doesn't look that good in my opinion. But maybe it's so streched because it travels through space and time? Because that's what the background reminds me of. Some kind of Wormhole the chessboard travels through.

But there's a thin line on the front of the chessboard that disturbs me a little. It doesn't really belong there as the edge of the board is a little beneath it. I suggest removing this line as it looks pretty weird.

"Why so much checkerboards"

I see that you used the same style of art with checkerboard 3 and it doesn't look all real with the style of art you are doing. Why did you randomly put in a coke can thing in it? It's just plain weird.

You need to have at least 4 pieces of art to get scouted but you SHOULD do more even though you only have 4. The limit of having art without being scouted is 20. You can send 20 pieces of art and if you ran out of room, you can post on the art forums.

The way you made the checkerboard 3-D doesn.t look wide enough. I also found out that that coke can is a chess piece. It just looks green for some reason. I'm happy to say that the backround actually was good for this one.

So here is the overall score:

Effort 8/10
Originality 10/10
Design 7/10
Concept 8/10
Added Effects 8/10
Colors 10/10 (Because the chess piece looked green and I think it's a pretty good optical illusion)

Don't stop trying OK?
