Hi all,
On and off for the past couple of years or so I've been working on some dungeon crawling board game rules. To support it I wanted to do a set of board tiles. In my head I want the game to feel kinda like those games I was so addicted to as a kid, Heroquest, Darkworld and the like. So I'm trying to get a similar feel for the tiles. The issue of course is they had actual factual artists doing their work, where as I have me, a programmer with some Flash skills
Was hoping to get a little input from you guys, since I'm sure you've all seen plenty of this type of artwork over the years. I did all the basic work a while ago using Flash (really need to find time to learn Illustrator, but when you work all day in one package it's hard to find the energy to shift for fun), then yesterday had a play in Photoshop trying to get it to feel right.
Here's where I was:
And here's where I am after tweaking:
A little overexposed in the middle, but I'm trying to get that shiny gloss look most of the old board games have. And then the next step is to add some little details.
I know his are 3d, but I'd love to get the feel
this chap has got with his hirst arts stuff. Spectacular isn't it?
I'd appreciate any input people have to offer.
Cheers for looking,
Si
