Forum :: EO Server Building :: Main Menu Background [Need CC]

Hello everyone, I'm back at it again with UI's and such but right now I'm trying to do pixel art based stuff. it might not be the prettiest in the world but I am continuing to learn more about Pixel art so I made this bg for the main menu.

Let me know your thoughts 

Note: I added those Eyes cuz idk what to add on the background.

The colors are a little too few here. This actually reminds me a bit of old Commodore 64 games that looked a bit off from their console/arcade counterparts. With the title of Kingdom of Ascension I would think you would want a backdrop that looks like that of a kingdom, or various venues within a kingdom. The eyes on the plain background just doesn't draw me further in. If you are set on the eyes being a part of the background, I would suggest having some sort of kingdom landscape at the bottom and put the eyes up in the clouds above. If you were to look at an artistic drawing like this it would tell the story that there is a peaceful kingdom with some evil being plotting something terrible. Basically it needs a lot more cowbell.

I think the text looks fine for the most part. A tad bit harder to read in a few spots on the bottom but probably 99% of us already know what it is supposed to say. Kind of agree with mostly what apollo said though.

Here's an update to the UI. I haven't made the background yet but its ongoing :)

Note: the color is like that because I aim to have it as minimal as possible when it comes to colors.

Really cool looking! I think the letters are a little hard to read, though.

Here's an update from Last time, this time I added a background image but its subtle. 

Edit: I also made another one that looks kinda modern.
