It used to look like this, but I had to change it to avoid copyright and to change the game name, so I decided to go with a different style, should I roll back to the old style instead?
imo the old one looks better because it has darker lighting which matches the “villain” theme. the new icon looks less exciting and a bit low quality too.
ways to improve::
make the lights darker
draw shadows/shading on the characters and on the floor to make it look like they belong there.
change the poses. right now you can’t really tell what’s going on in the scene. is the red guy the killer or is it the bacon?? it’s not clear enough.
switch up the text a bit. use a sans-serif/blocky font and change the colour of “villain” to a complimentary colour. look this up if u dont know what i mean
use a different font for one of the words. it will look a lot nicer
writing usually goes on the bottom of most game icons. try doing that.
use overlays to give your image some depth!!
if u have a little bit of robux to spare, try hiring a professional gfx artist to make this for you
also, canvas isn’t really the best thing to use if you’re trying to make game icons. before i started using photoshop, i used to use pixlr. you don’t need to install anything for it and it’s pretty beginner friendly.
Thanks a lot! I will be working on that today, sadly I don’t have much robux to hire a designer, maybe I will do it at later point tho
and if those issues were fixed you still think the old one will still look more attractive? or the new style is overall better?
Thanks alot for the recomendations! I update the icon, I tried my best
Tho one thing I noticed about blocky font is that it said I’m not allowed to use it in commercial use, do you have any alternative for it (or I can just go illegal with it without being caught for some good time)
the lighting of the new one look a bit werid, add an lightbulb maybe? oh and make the people holding guns look more “alive”, like the guy holding the gun in the old one
