Pixeled Hud


This is a hud I made in MS Paint for my game which will be controlled by events.
C&C please!

Awesome Bro

You know you don't have to mention it's made in MS Paint as if it's something special, everything I do is in MS Paint, but I don't go around bragging about it.

Okay now that's done;

It doesn't look too bad, although I don't get the bottom part, and why Lancer is so small, I think it'd look better if you got rid of the lower part (Or put the entirety of it in a box), and have Lancer above the bars, maybe have the characters name up there too, and the level, although having it done with events could be a pain in the arse, unless you'd rather have it in conjunction with a script o.O
 
Most huds are done in photoshop or some other fancy program, and I just mentioned it so people wouldn't tell me to put it in visual arts. Theres going to be some icons beside Lancers name, but i haven't made them yet.
 
Wow, aside from what was said, I think that this is really nice! Especially since it was made in paint! I use photoshop myself...so. :P
 
More contrast. Brighter highlights on the hair, darker shadows on the skin in places like the hairline and under the chin. Your palettes are boring; make shadows purplish and highlights yellowish. Also, your coloring is sloppy; go for smooth curves instead of the jagged lines you currently employ.

This is an RPG, right? Why do you have a HUD?
 
RPGs can have HUDs, can they not? Unless I'm missing something here? I always thought the HUD was the info being shown during battles. XD

Anyway, I can't give you much advice on your HUD, but sometime about the face seems off. Mainly the eyes. To me one looks bigger than the other, but that could just be me. :)

Good luck with your HUD! ^_^
 
yeah, hud mean "heads up display". So it's just a little menu that can show about everything.

The lines on the face look messy and jagged, and the shading looks bit boring and misplaced. The palettes are also a bit weak for my taste.
 
I asked because it looks like the HUDs people here like to put on overworld maps, which is completely pointless and unnecessary, simply because there are scripts available that do it. It's okay to do it in battles, of course.
