Here's another monster you'll encounter in the game. Again, done in inkscape and took me about an hour or so. Demented Crow and Carnivorous Orchid reside in The Neglected Garden that surrounds The Haunted Observatory.

Or should it be Starving Crow, Famished Crow, hmmmmm.....




Matty(Posted 2009) [#2]
Doesn't look so monstrous. Well drawn, but should it be scary?


Ginger Tea(Posted 2009) [#3]
if there were 50 on a monkey bar just perched there ...


Perturbatio(Posted 2009) [#4]

Naughty Alien(Posted 2009) [#6]
..and shitting acid liquid


Chroma(Posted 2009) [#7]
Ok I get it :) He needs to look more sinister...hmmm...how to do that...


Knight #51(Posted 2009) [#8]
You give me my BBQ pitt.


puki(Posted 2009) [#9]
You can have my dwarf for your game - I don't need it anymore.

The crow could sit on his shoulder.




Knight #51(Posted 2009) [#10]
Yay, more meat.


Panno(Posted 2009) [#11]
sometimes i wonder how old puki is ... (4) ???


Knight #51(Posted 2009) [#12]
Dammit. Children taste funny.


GaryV(Posted 2009) [#13]
Puki, any chance for a PNG or GIF version of your dwarf so the lines aren't blurred? I will print this out and stick it on my fridge!


puki(Posted 2009) [#14]
I deleted the original masterworks.

Still, it makes the jpg version all the more valuable to the collector.

Good job I signed it.


Nice_But_Dim(Posted 2009) [#15]
Jeez Puki you have as much graphical style as me.You want to make a game together.It will be cutting edge.


Chroma(Posted 2009) [#16]
Puki where have you been hiding!? Do the art for my game please!!


N(Posted 2009) [#17]
You're doing the whole menacing thing wrong. You want to do something more like this...



Big, creepy, disembodied heads.

GaryV(Posted 2009) [#19]
puki, could you draw me a female elf?


puki(Posted 2009) [#20]



Ross C(Posted 2009) [#21]
I really like the style of that crow :)


GaryV(Posted 2009) [#22]
Now I need a Dragon, puki. Please?


puki(Posted 2009) [#23]



puki(Posted 2009) [#24]
I apologise if the dragon is a bit too ferocious-looking for some people's liking; however, I did want the menacing, sinister, look.


GaryV(Posted 2009) [#25]
Thank you Puki, they will look good in my game. I will let you know tomorrow if I need some more images.


puki(Posted 2009) [#26]
You'll need to scale the dragon up as I had to draw him within the limits of the Paint screen. He is pretty much scaled as a baby dragon if you leave him as is.


Knight #51(Posted 2009) [#27]
What about an evil wizard??


Chroma(Posted 2009) [#28]
Ok how's this? This one took me a couple hours.




Matty(Posted 2009) [#29]
Looks better, maybe with a more purply/reddish sun behind it would look more sinister?


xlsior(Posted 2009) [#30]
maybe with a more purply/reddish sun behind it would look more sinister?


Or a large full moon, with a very dark sky. Something like this?




stayne(Posted 2009) [#31]
Ever seen a white crow?

Crows are amazing creatures. Very intelligent. They have been known to manufacture tools!


Panno(Posted 2009) [#32]

Ruz(Posted 2009) [#33]
some good stuff there chroma.I like the last one best

I would be careful to not to make the backgrounds too overpowering in the

other ones


Chroma(Posted 2009) [#34]
Well the background was just a visual. These are actually gonna end up 64x64 sprites with an alpha background.

Thanks for the comments. Think I'm gonna go with the latter crow.

Next on the drawing board is a set of gems (red, blue, green, etc)


GIB3D(Posted 2009) [#35]
So your gonna use a crow with four eyes?

xlsior didn't take off the black eye that was already on there lol...


xlsior(Posted 2009) [#36]
didn't notice it at the time -- my monitor colors are fairly dark, and I didn't see any of the shading on the bird itself, just the outline. :-)


Knight #51(Posted 2009) [#37]
Sirously though you should have evil wizards for like....the crows' master or something.
