I hope those bats are a tad darker then they look.

And I don't think their orange features look right.

Your lightning is fail!

I love your charters though, especially the ghost.

...wtf you're trees and clouds are awesome!

do something about those bats as already mentioned, unless they are background props also.

The bats will be darker yes: the lighting is washing everything out at the moment. As for the orange features, well...what do you mean?

Rim: Best thing is, they're entirely flat: they're just PSD files I whacked onto flat plains. Maya allows for PSDs, and it'll also recognise the Alpha channel for transparency, so it makes things easy. I made them flat so I don't have to model them, and also to cut down rendering times.

Maybe it's because it's washed out, but the orange just doesn't look right.

It'll probably look fine with the bats dark. I'm assuming the orange will darken up, also?

wow, i understood all that technobabble. smart. just hope they cast the proper shadowing on the rest of your environment.

Luke: Yah. It'll be more vibrant, but darker at the same time. If that makes sense.

Rim: They do.

That's another thing too: there's no proper shadows being cast at the moment. :<

oh, another thing, you should give your devil guy (perhaps) a different color suit. He blends in too well. Maybe a dark red or brown... keep his scheme warm ya know. Unless that night lighting isn't final? if it is, consider changing it.

ghost is still fine. he should totally be your avatar.

Probably not a bad idea, Rim. That lighting definitely isn't final though.

My favourite character is the glasses guy, mainly because he's about 60% me.

So like...Is this your final year at uni? And I assume this is for an animation? I hate animating XD

Yah, this is my final year, and this is for my major project. I love the idea of animation and stuff, and I'm a big animation nerd as a couple of you know by now.

You get what you pay for.
