>>46116809I actually like the pixel pokemon stuff better.
The other scenes clearly have more going on but it just comes off as too busy or not appealing.
Upper left is by far the best, that one I will give, it looks good, it has a clear scene, it's nice
Dbz one is alright, It's not that special, the background feels incredibly flat
Upper right just looks ugly, the characters clash with the background and the whole scene is too small for my tastes. Bunch of copy pastes of poor designs
Lower left is just pokemon but with a slightly different style, you could argue "ooo sunlight" but eh, not that impressive.
Lower middle is same as lower left, they do the same copy pasting of assets just different ones.
Lower right corner looks alright for a painting, it's far too flat and lacks depth for a game area.
I'm not trying to tout and shill GF as amazing designers or anything, I'm 100% sure all their scenery design choices and style were motivated by lazyness and what they could get away with, but it just ended up working, at least for me.
3d stuff definitely bad.
