Alright, this will be a loading screen for my next game, but I just wanted to get some critiques from the pros here before I finalize it.

It looks great, but you could add some more eye-candy into it.


e.g, maybe a compass in the corner

Adding a bit more stuff to the border would look great too, just make sure it isn't too cluttered up

Don't add any moer. That would make it to busy. I would suggest moving the names off the edge. Also change "is" with "are" in the paragraph. Correct grammar.

I had a compass, but later replaced it with the naga. There's really no place to put it, plus I can't figure out where I'd put north/south facing.. xD

And I'll see what I can do about the border (maybe make some parts look more frozen/white than others? cracks?).
thanks

>move the names off the edge
like completely off the ice? I see how it doesn't look right there, but I cant find a good spot to put it (maybe i'll just take it out and give in-game credits)

and thanks for the grammar check, the paragraph flows better now.

Looks pretty nice. Way better than my early loading screens :)

I agree with what the others said, but I'd like to add that those red eyes on the naga really isn't fitting in. I'd remove them completely. You might also want to try lowering the saturation on the icey border in order to make it blend better.

Cheers;

again, dont add anymore.

for the text just put it ontop of the map and put it as overlay layer and make it blend in and also look good.

Try making the naga's eyes glow blue / green. Red stands out too much.

I think fading the red eyes out to something similar to the X mark at the centre would be better, or maybe a bit lesser. It still looks fine the way it is, though.

There's also something about the text (description) I just can't put my finger on. It looks decent, doesn't interfere or disrupt the image. But it doesn't really fit in with the rest.

The blue border is also too saturated for my liking. Should be changed, or removed altogether.

I think the red eyes are okay, they represent the scary evilness well.
It's fine. The text with the thanks is eh, and also kinda hard to read.
But overall cool.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
