Buckaroo! Saddle-Stacking Fun...

[Oli_Salmon]

okay this is my second venture into fan art, the feedback from before was excellent and incredibly useful, especially being new to photoshop an'all, thankyou :)

Here we have a 'tribute' to the fabulous game of 'Buckaroo!'
Again i'd very much welcome any criticisms, its the only way to improve. I don't care if you think its crap if you tell me why!

source images for the main characters are from stavrosjr's site - thankyou

I will just make a little list:

Origional Idea - Good
Weebl Source Images - Not So Good ******
Different File Sizes - Good
Shadows on All Objects - Good
Doesn't really catch your eye (blandness) - Not So Good

That is just my .02....

That's actually pretty good. very original idea.

Criticism:
1. You could have cut the buckaroo peices a little better, theyres still slight white edges on them.
2. The shadow on the box should really be square.
3. The background colour isn't the exact weebl and bob colour, try screenshotting an ep if you don't know the hex code.
4. Weebl and bob are near enough exactly the same size.
5. Not really that important but you could have drawn the characters yourself, then again you are using photoshop and it's near enough impossible to get a perfect looking weebl in photoshop.

Look forward to seeing more from you. :D

Lol i like that - didn't like the game when I was little though, it always made me jump lol - good idea, very creative etc :p

4. Weebl and bob are near enough exactly the same size.

Assuming it's bob at the front, this is good as objects further away appear smaller.

Assuming it's bob at the front, this is good as objects further away appear smaller.
Even so, bob would not be that big- it looks like two weebls.

Nice picture, all the constructive criticism I could think of has been said already. :)

[Oli_Salmon]

thankyou muchly for the feedback, all points noted :)

the shadows were pretty much the most difficult bit to get right, the box i did last and it didn't even occur to me it should be square :rolleyes:

also i made the mistake of working on a transparant background, which is why the edges of the game pieces are naff...but it was late and to perfect it would have taken me ageeees longer....live and learn

Thanks again for taking the time to critique

i like the idea, but dont use jpg for weebl fan art, would have looked better in gif/png.

Another tip:

To make the game peices and box a little more weebl and bob style just desaturate them (make them black n white) and add a grey outline to them.

(see weebl's michael moore or face from the a team if you dont get what I mean)
