Pokemon Ui? looks nice

D: i never a thought it look like pokemon. it was supposed for a modern warfare/futuristic/shooting type of game. Perhaps i made it too cartoony huh? then i need some tips guys, how to make the UI texture more realistic, like the orginal warcraft 3 UIs.

how come its pokemon??? it looks like a futuristic one...

will those unskinned parts, remain that way? or its just because the skin isn't finished yet?

Shooting type - Wear and tear + metal stuff.
Futuristic type - Glowing bits and flat areas with cool textures.
Futuristic shooter - Well... Some exposed wires, and some worn down cool textures maybe?

For now I don't know what constructive could be said about it. It seems to be a pretty early stage work, correct me if I'm wrong.
Make those gradients a bit softer (the bottom shouldn't be completely black). I'd say it has way too big color variation for a war game. You should stick to a chosen color scheme with one or maybe two colors (subtle/dark ones if the game is a bit more 'realistic' or 'hardcore'; dark+light color if the game is more of an Unreal Tournament-like action game). It's OK to color the HP/mana area, just be aware that the original warcraft3 text is colored too thus making the background light green while the text is light green might not end up well.

Lucky there is still someone can figure it out. lol. and this is just a WIP. the unskin parts are still being brainstormed.

Hey, cool UI! Can't wait to see the finished product

 

[AL0NE]

2nd WIP. i think i'll probably make the gradient softer as ELFoglalt stated after i finish the UI so it will be easier to see the whole picture. and yea, the inventory number part is inspired by ELFoglalt's UI. i hope you don't mind. but if you do mind, i'll remove it. and i removed the bag for 2 reasons. 1st is i get it from google, that makes my UI CnP-ed, now that its removed, my UI has a slightess chance of approve. 2nd is it really does make's the UI looks like pokemon UI. D:

I've also added the titles(sort of title) of each part. I think those makes the UI unique. but what do you guys think? acceptable or annoying? then again, it's mainly for a map of mine, not for general uses.

The recent changes make it feel like an advanced form of template. XD
The inventory icons look cool though. Oh and the time indicator is getting better and better.. still needs work tho.

 

[SuperElement]

Looks pretty snazzy. I'd suggest you invested a more natural metal texture for the UI, and personally I'm not a huge fan of the less metallic colour of aqua, but that's up to you. With the inventory slots, I like the idea- i'd suggest you make the coloured slot piece glow so as to make it stand out more- and a bit less of a gradient for it as well.

A bit plain, but it's clean and i'd definately say a few people would find a use for it when it's complete.

 

[I3lackDeath]

It somehow has the feeling of a drugstore for me. xP

As SuperElement said, it's a very clean WIP which makes it much easier to work on, but it's not "Warcraft-ish".

Also don't shade too much, right now the bottom of the time indicator is too dark (doesn't seem too natural).

Your Unit. looks terrible. get rid of the Your Unit, Your units Commands. it just makes it look lame.

 

[Orcnet]

Nicely done UI dude! I like it, its so modern like

 

[L_Lawliet]

Nice try on hitting a UI (which i've never tried editing before) what theme were you doin'?
