Similar as in "they should be scrapped" :P
But this game looks so good that it's already pleasing to the eye without any modification (yours was a bit dark though)

heh

I can pretty much guess who made those City gfx just based on the text's font alone...

Yeah, I know it was rude to go over your head like that Tsuka, but that's happened to me on every simfile pack I've made gfx for (hell, sometimes my gfx were never used). That being said, I did, at the time, thought the gfx for City were good. Probably not good for the song in question, but after spending an hour on the gfx it was driving me crazy. Maybe these gfx will do? I didn't think they'd be that better, since they just screamed "generic".

The issue is your graphic submissions have been either overly-processed (To the point where you make the pulled art somehow even worse), or just simply generic. Sometimes you have to tone it back and just focus on capturing the spirit of the song.

Bmah's song choice has been pretty rad. A lot of cool stuff to look forward to from him.

Not to derail the thread further, enjoy some banner teasers.

I don't think you're a bad graphic designer, and I don't think your intentions are bad. But you can't base the ideas for your graphics on the song name alone... These songs come from video games, they're not abstract. They can be represented faithfully! (As opposed to a song from terminal11, for example, where you can let your imagination go wild because most songs are not based on anything)

I mean... If I submitted a song called Peach Circuit, if you come up with this design, you basically screwed up

Obviously the art is bad (I'm not a graphic designer), but that's not my point. When players hear Peach Circuit, they want to see Peach's Castle in the distance, with a race track and karts, or something like that.

I usually don't. For example the gfx I did for XelNya's Ba'al Battle file. A little homework and I found that the song had to do with a couple and their time together, which is why there's a power plant (where they worked) and snow (when they met). However, since the song was for a boss fight, specifically related to the couple and how the bosses were related to them, I made the graphics look eroded and not highlight any romantic overtones at all. It's just, with the City song, I just didn't know what to do. The song didn't have much behind it, other than power rangers, something the rest of the soundtrack could lay claim to as well.

B-but then, knowing that tsuka had that one covered, why would you want to work on City if it didn't inspire you? That makes 0 sense lol

I was trying to take care of the gfx to get the pack out, since by the time I joined on, people were already poking fun at tsuka for taking too long.

I'm taking time on the graphics because I want every file in the pack to have GOOD graphics, not crap. We were never going to release the pack just because there were 20 deviant art pieces dumped on us.
