I think it's because the edges of the desk look like they belong to a one-point perspective, receding to a single point in the distance, but that makes the curve of the desk just look wonky and sinking. Maybe if you made them more acute? or just straighten them out completely? idk about perspective i'm just winging it. I like the city horizon though.

Right now it just looks flat, but you just need to add another shade of brown to the desk to make it pop out. I would start by dithering the front of the desk so that it further brings out the curvature. About the computer, I think it's just angled too strongly. Reduce the angle a little bit so that it more closely follows the angle of the desk and then it'll look right.

I love how you've made the skyrises in the background. The lights are great!

I made a little more progress with the sprite, including the animations for the bow.

@Fallen-Griever: Seems too wide for a desk and it's quite empty too! Make it shorter I think the window showing the city lights is really cool!
@KillerWolf: I like what I'm seeing with this new platformer of yours! I like the bow sprite looks natural.

I've been messing with a platformer in Construct, the plan is to set it up so that I just draw a bunch of islands on pieces of paper and then scan them in and explore them in a game. Some of the slopes don't work too well with the default platform setup and I'm still on the very basics of getting shit done/havent started thinking about actual game design or enemies at all yet. Here's my practice level if anyone's interested: http://www.mediafire.com/?22l1d8k8c6319ls z to jump arrows to move

I used an invisible platform for the first island (the one in the pic) because the platform behaviour acts a bit wonky with irregular slopes, otherwise I just imported them as sprites and set them to Solid and stuck on some background stuff like the house and trees. This probably takes a lot of space so I'll try importing just the pencil outlines in future! They're generally pretty playable as they are though, I just had to make the player collision mask into an oval shape to make it easier to get over all the little bumps in handdrawn stuff. Also I really like the idea of letting people scan in their own islands, I'm thinking it would be set up as like importing an image just as background and then getting them to draw over where the surface should be with a mouse, which would create an invisible solid surface. And then maybe click buttons to create objects at mouse.x and mouse.y idk I have no idea what the limits of this system or my abilities are yet! I've changed the hearts though. Also yeah it's meant to be an angry pirate girl
