Reminds me Independance Day... except the space ships are shaped like distorted rectangles.

But on a serious note, what is that?

What the!, you need to explain what this is actually supposed to be...from what i see it looks like some stuff was very badly copied and pasted.

 

[Carnage]

No, its menna be a opening where your character has fallen.....its meant to be in like a dark room or dungeon.....i have done a better one *gets it uploaded*http://img458.imageshack.us/img458/678/fallen1cu4.jpg[/IMG]

I'm not sure what you mean by "story pics" but the picture itself is wierd. What's with the floating Texas-shaped-thing at the top?

 

[Jstreet]

I think it's a whole in the roof or something. O.o

I imagine "story pic" is either panorama or a picture added for cutscenes.

The shape on the top is a hole where the character fell through.

Carnage: The hole is too one-dimensional. It needs to have more shading. See the image in the spoiler as an example. You need to add dimension through color and shape.

Also, you've stretched the graphics again so that they look really fuzzy (on the ground especially). There needs to be something that the character came out of. Just a bare space looks strange

 

[Carnage]

oooo thanks, lots of help you guys! it will give me something to do and ye i did have the idea of liek cut scenes i might jus drop it though t may be to much work to get all the cut scenes looking good.....

To be honest, it's very ugly. Assuming that I'm even seeing these images correctly, (and that's a big if), the walls are nothing but clouds made in photoshop. The tiles are copied from the RPGmaker engines and pasted terribly (you can see quite easily where they don't line up). There's also that awkward white blob of shapes. I don't even understand what that is.
