Title: Devil's Crush HD
Post by: rockasoo on August 02, 2013, 01:07:05 PM
Hi everyone,
My name is Rocky and I am interested in creating an HD version of the main board for Devil's Crush. I have begun working on the main board this week. The idea is to scale up the graphics as faithfully as possible. For an example of what I have done with the title screen be sure to check out my tumblr. Please subscribe for updates and feel free to let me know what you think!

Thanks, Rockasoo.

Hey man welcome! I would love an HD Devils Crush! Any thoughts what you would do as far as the musical arrangement?
Perhaps use some *some* of the music from this album?
Anyway, looking forward to it!

While I think you're very talented in these HD brushing up things (btw. mind in sharing some of your technics?), I still do love the original like a million times better.
Is this some sort of easy software doing that effect? like eagle filtering?

I am making progress slowly. The bricks are probably the most difficult thing in terms of the math. As far as my process goes, it's basically tracing over every pixel manually. Of course I trace each material in a different style. Bricks are more jaggy, metal is longer and sleeker but the source material is god. I will know I have done my job will if I am able to reduce the number of pixels in my final image and the resulting image matches the source one.
