Yes please

[Don Vecta]

Okay, I'll see what I can do. Will try to experiment with resources already existent, if it doesn't work then will do the design manually pixel by pixel.

As promised, Rabbit, here it's the sunset sea. Sorry for the delay.



I used one of the FF3 stages as a base, then had to resize without losing quality and match it with what you already did in the first image. Also had to match the colors the best I could. Hope it's good enough for you.

If the yellow sunset lights don't make sense with a deep red sun, then just keep the whole ocean dark since, from what I know, there's no real color reflection in the sea when sun's that darkened by clouds, just use the left dark area of the see and cover the sun gradient with copy/pasta.

EDIT: Okay, tried now to darken the sun flare here. Tell me what do you think of it.

[JoyJoyfulRabbit]

close enough. the ocean need more bluer

[Iceweb38]

Oh looks very close, now yeah as Joy said, the ocean just needs to be "bluer" and you're good!

(I still have to figure out why they scrapped this sunset to the final one we had -_-')

[Don Vecta]

Well, that's the thing, I only worked with the image itself, didn't have nothing else to work with. With the video would be easier to work (will be a bitch to extract the color, though).

EDIT: Seeing the video, more than blue it could be a dark purple shade next to the marroon color. Will see if it works.

EDIT 2: Take 3: Okay, working with the video was lot easier, so I had to extend 20 pixels down the sea to make a full circle of the reflected sun. Added more purple shades to give that "blueish" feeling you mentioned (there's no blue whatsoever, the video quality it's crap to see the true color) but i think with purple works well.



Okay, to make the effect work like in the video you must separate 3 layers from this take:

1) The empty sky above the sun.
2) The new clouds I added, put them over the sky with the same background tone and auto scroll them.
3) The elipse in the sea where it looks clearer around the reflected sun and add the water effect into it.

Hope you like it.

I'm in the process of doing some arcade game ripping. Anyone having a request can place it here, and I'll see what can be done. Keep in mind of one thing: Ripping things out of MAME is heavily dependent upon a game having a TMAP layer, for me to rip out of. For other complex games I'll use either Winkawaks or FinalBurn Alpha.

Some of the older games require MAME for this to work.

Currently ripping: Captain Commando (Arcade)
