have had this idea stuck in my head for a week or two now. total overhall of textures to look more "blocky" like old 50-60s detective comic books (lots of sharp lines and sharp colors, little tones and hues). i'd like to create a map or two with new skins based on a character named Ash Hammer (Ash being a pg-13 play on the word A**) who's a somewhat dirty cop with his own department going after dirtier cops and the scum of the city. the above uses a mock up of a Ash Hammer skin and a quick building using the modified textures and harsh lighting to get a comic book feel (hense the look of a comic book for the screenshot)
not looking for suggestions really just wether it's a good idea for an overall theme.
pulling ideas for textures and buildings from things like the movie Streets of Fire (the best tough guy movie around, both the tom and raven characters) like i said, lots of extreme harsh lighting and 'vaque' blocky graphics. like the idea of using dick tracy as a reference also, C.
