I can't be the only one who thinks this art is fucking terrible. It looks like something pulled straight out of a fan's deviantArt account.

Here's a higher res version. I'm trying to find the one shown off in the trailer, with all the characters. As that's the one that really stood out to me as being really really ugly. So many characters like Cloud and etc... just looked so bad.

Yeah you can do better than that. Post your work Op.

There, now you can let the adults talk.

And my painting skills are fucking ass. There's people on here who are far better at painting that I am.

American video game box art has always been bad, it's a running joke with the Japs.

>mfw I don't recognize a lot of these characters

Where has the time gone bros?

its not 'fucking terrible' but its certainly not on par with other professional game art

Its sorta looks like some sub $1000 dollar commission.

this one is very nice actually, quite charming and reflects the essence of the content. But I know which one you mean, it seemed like different artists did a collaboration, and some of the styles didn't harmonize quite well.

[Anonymous No.3468798]

>>3468774
? Most of those characters have been around since the 80's and 90's. What are you on about.

[Anonymous No.3468799]

>>3468795
or actually nvm, it's the same one I think, but the other was in a wide angle format splattered with cut-in illustrations from OP's

What the fuck where they thinking.

[Anonymous No.3468922]

Yeah I really like the Japanese one on the left, the American one on the right is so weird.

[Anonymous No.3468960]

Dokey Kong looks weird.

Is it supposed to look like the 80s Donkey Kong?

What's up with that cheesy motion blur on Ryu's foot and the Ice Climber's hammer? It looks terrible. And why are they the only ones with it?

[Anonymous No.3469255]

>>3469181
there's a few bad ones (eg cloud) but the thing as a whole works rather nice.
it seems they went for "painterly" brushstrokes in order to give consistency to the project, but the rendering looks kinda amateurish because of that. nintendo has certainly done much better in the past.

[Anonymous No.3469297]

>>3468705
That's because it's just a bunch of characters thrown in there with no composition or care each with a recognizable pose
Its not meant to look good, it's supposed to feature the characters inside

Why is his sheath way too wide for his sword?

[Anonymous No.3469726]

>>3469297
Did they hire multiple artists to work on it or something? It's not like it could have been difficult to hire one statistics for the job to do a decent mural with all the characters that had decent composition/good colors, values, and lighting. I mean Jesus, it's just jarring to look at.

I like that art, it's expressive and colouring is really nice and defined, but that's just me.

Hilt's don't go in sheaths which makes it even more retarded. I don't even think it's like that in Melee or Brawl or the art for his game either.

[Anonymous No.3475630]

>>3468705
I thought that so too.
There's something wrong, it's the perspective or the anatomy. But it IS fucked up.

[Anonymous No.3475648]

>>3468705
I think the main problem with the work is just that there's no focus, it's kinda like the artist just jammed them in there but it's kinda jarring since everyone's looking in random directions

[Anonymous No.3475652]

The color palette is exceptionally bad, everything just looks so muddy and ugly, and there's no consistent light source, so it just looks like it's pillow shsded, it's especially bad in this one >>3475444 lool at Mario and compare him to DK and MegaMan for example. It's a mess of a mural. Not only that, but the background looks REALLY ugly and contrasts poorly with the characters. There's no value scale and nothing pops, everything is the same oversaturated midtone. The one in the OP is slightly better since the background colors work better with the oversaturated colors, but it still has a lot of the same problems. Not to mention the poses and anatomy on a lot of the characters is really wonky, especially the face in a lot of them.

I'm genuinely temped to make one myself, just to shill it around and get more followers. A better mural and a better boxart. It'd take a lot of work though, it is 70+ characters.

[Anonymous No.3475656]

Also, the shadows are all the same value as the original color, neither warm nor cold. Like, you especially see it in Fox, his pants go from green to a darker green, rather than from green, to a more blue-toned shadow as it should to create a nice palette.

This was definitely made by an amateur.

When were smash games pallets not ugly? The N64 game uses the default MSPaint pallet, Melee is good half the time, Brawl is dull as fuck, and Sm4sh is dull half the time

[Anonymous No.3476245]

>>3476222
Fair point, but that one is considerably better considering it at least has a consistent light source.
