I'll get the ball rolling.

Most recent, a sprite for a game I was going to make.

Dayum kinseti, those are 10 minute drawings? I spend an hour on things that look way worse. I jelly. :P
Also, doodledumps as a result of boredom while sitting in bed with my phone.

Not exactly super good, but they were fun to make. :U (and they provide a glimpse into my train of thoughts, since things were drawn as ideas popped up)

Well, the Cheshire Cat took considerably longer because I decided to Sharpie it. And remember that I had the benefit of being able to cherry-pick a few that I liked out of about 70-odd pages :P But thanks.

Also, I think this is a deceptively good idea for a thread, to house all that stuff that you are happy with but know doesn't justify it's own topic.

Also, EVEN MORE doodledump.

Dunno why but dargons are fun to draw. In fact, these doodle dumps are fun to make in general. Also, blank circle eyes EVERYWHERE.

That's a she, though she wears a hood a lot and hides her features so you're not exactly the first person to ask (and I doubt the last)!

Alchemy can be found at http://al.chemy.org/ . This thing is an absolute beast.

Falcon, I love your character though. I'd love to get DH in an RPG at some point, though I have a bad feeling that any RPG like this I'd have to end up running myself or lucking out and finding one starting up somewhere.

I recently had my computer wiped, and so I had one of the default wallpapers. (I think it's called "Bliss"). Looking at it, I knew I wanted to do something with it, so I put it into GIMP, made a sheep in another layer, then literally cloned it all over the place.

All right... story time..

2010 and helping out in what was to become our largest national Airsoft event.
Being slightly artsy-fartsy I decide to make two promotional videos. Easier said than done.

Disclaimer: This is all about an airsoft event. None of this stuff is real. All weapons depicted are harmless airsoft replicas, all participants were of legal age, and so on. The action takes place into a parallel universe, all semblance to real world factions is unintentional, blah, blah, blah
SERIOUSLY. I mean it.
/disclaimer

Neither one of us had acted before, and we had zero experience with cameras and whatsoever.
The story of both videos is quite simple. The army leaders of the two battling factions seek the spiritual leaders (A light-sided Prophet and a dark-sided Bishop) to acquire power.

We had borrowed a camera from a friend, got together some fancy clothing, we trespassed on private property (a stone quarry) and got to work.

Representing the first faction, the "good guys", the defenders, the ones that get invaded...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U50ghbW1F1Q

The camera guy's hands were trembling so hard I had to stretch out pieces of 1 or 2 seconds while editing the clip - those being the only usable parts.
Also, until that day I've never touched any editing software in my life.
We shot the whole thing in 20 minutes, then the owner of the stone quarry came riding a motorcycle, all clad in leather, threatened to sue and threw us out.
I edited the whole clip in the next 24 hours, yes, while searching for royalty-free music, and learning how to use Sony Vegas at the same time.

All things considering, it turned out quite decent.


Now we had to do the same thing for the bad guys.
We scouted out some old abandoned AA turret at the outskirts of the city.
This time I filmed it all myself, with a few exceptions. Turned out my hands were a bit steadier.
So, we start shooting the darned thing. While filming the "running and securing the perimeter" with the troops, I slipped and faceplanted into the mud, all while managing to hold the borrowed camera out of harm's way.

Of course, things got all messed up. We were filming after a long day's work, and the "Commander" and his crew arrived after the sunset. They somehow managed to lock their car keys inside one of the cars. Great.
So, I admit, I had to ... erm... borrow the day-to-night transition from one of the Gods: Romero himself. I just hope he'll find the heart to forgive one of his greatest fans. As sort of a tribute, I included him in my clip.

Anyways.
The commander arrives late. He was supposed to be escorted by the tactical guys, but that was no longer possible, seeing they had already secured the perimeter.
So. One of my best buddies, and our designated driver grabs an M4, puts a skull-jaw scarf on his face and joins the fun as an "extra".
I put the camera on the tripod, grab my shotgun and join the photo shoot.
So, the Commander gets escorted by us two. Later, in the game, the "Shock-troops" got skull-faced bandanas and the 2 engineers in the game played in back coveralls and used shotguns, to stay faithful to the movie.

As we are nearing the end of our movie, we decide to use the remaining gasoline in our torches to draw the triple-cross on the floor and set it ablaze.
Great!
Also, being underground we almost choked to death. But hey, all is fair in art and war?!?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ff0uIE4rcc

While everyone was packing, I decide to take one last frame, for the clip's ending.
The one with the running alongside the candles, and then panning up on the flag/weapons.
I do the running shot. I'm getting near the flag, I kneel to take a low shot. I bang my knee so hard, and so loud on the concrete that everyone got silent for a second.
I limp my way home.

I packed my knee in ice and got to editing the clip the same night. I'm just about done in the morning, all in time to get to work.


In 2011, second edition of the event....
I got so busy at work that I couldn't help the guys, and missed the event.
However, I could not let it slide just like that.
We gather all our toys, meet at an apartment owned by one of us, and in 20 minutes we come up with a script, I shoot the thing with a photo camera (we didn't manage to borrow a real camera this time) and edit it all during the subway ride home.

We couldn't do it all serious and heroic this time, so we aimed for short, simple, humorous.
Obviously, being a zombie movie lover, I had to slip a few easter eggs into this one as well.

Also, even more doodling.

Tried to peg down an easy and systematic way of doodling them dragons, because a decent shape of the head always eludes me (until i dick around long enough, which i rarely have the patience for). I think i succeeded somewhat, because it's essentially two boxes and almost one circle. Now i just have to dick around with the proportions of these boxes, along with rounding them corners.

@skyrunner: they would look more like stone if they were either textures (for roughcut stone, which you can do with a bumpmapping tool before adding the lines) or if they had a bit of a reflective gleam, for polished stone. that can be done with a gradient.

we-ell...

the thing is, there, that that filter seems to be based on a point light. what you need is a uniform directional light. I'd recommend the Gimp bump map filter.

something like this:

But, on seeing the smooth version, that looks very nice.

Quick note from Shook McGeodude: Rocks very rarely have a "cloudy" texture (unless zoomed out, of course, in which case it might indeed look like that), they tend to be either really sharply defined or almost totally uniform. Compare slate (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/SlateUSGOV.jpg) to granite (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/Fj%C3%A6regranitt3.JPG/800px-Fj%C3%A6regranitt3.JPG). Hubris has, incidentally, made a very nice example while i was writing this, so yeah.

@The Fool: Awesome hobby, great drawing. I really oughta start practicing my monster drawing-skills too, because i have a hard time thinking up genuinely original monsters.

HUGE PLANE. Also awesome, seems like it could carry quite a bit of load while still being airborne.

@jc: That quick? Nice. Also yeah, i have a number of reasons as to why i keep drawing fish:
- Many of them are edible and even taste good
- They are excellent blunt weapons, coming in various shapes and sizes
- They were featured in a Monty Python sketch
- They just look plain silly (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f5/Mola-mola-Lisboa-20051020.jpg)
- They are adept at trolling*

* STORY TIME: I saw a crab and a fish in an aquarium. The crab was slowly climbing up the side of a vertical rock face, actually getting upwards because of the rough texture of the rock. Cue mr. trollfish coming along and giving the crab a proper poke with its snout, making the crab plummet down to the bottom. I swear i could almost hear it going like "nooooooooo! curse you, finned creature!" as it was falling. It then hit the ground at terminal velocity. This being under water, that was about as fast as a feather falling through air.

The new one's still pretty rough, and can only be used using nodes.  Anyways, that's some great material usage for no use for a few years.

So i was bored last night, which resulted in me trying to calculate the height of a fully grown dragon in DF.

(http://i.imgur.com/FbDjK.png)

It's fucking huge. Assuming a slightly more massive build than an English Mastiff (which is a pretty heavy dawg), it would stand around 13 meters (give or take one) tall AT THE SHOULDERS. By comparison, a giraffes head has 5-6 meters of ground clearance. Basically, i'm wondering how those things are even bothered by anything short of a falling mountain (which is fortunately within dorfen capabilities too).

Thanks! anyways, its funny because the longer i spend on something the worse it gets, my best works were made in about 2-5 minutes.

also, they almost all have blood in them, even the romantic one i made for my GF last year, it was on a battlefield after the battle. funnily enough she liked it, makes sense though considering shes also my sparring partner for the medieval weapons class i attend.

anyways, i might make some more random arts just to keep the thread alive.
ill also do my best to draw suggestions from others.

Back near the start of this year I bought Minecraft. After building a castle and the usual things I was stumped with what to build next.

So... Touhou happened.  ::)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The majority of the buildings are based off what official artwork I could find (not much) and the backgrounds from IaMP, SWR and Hisoutensoku. Where I lacked official pictures I used fanart (such as with the Palanquin Ship), what I could remember from the scenes present in the games (again with the Palanquin Ship, the deck is based off the pattern in game), or I just used what I imagined it to be like (Scarlet Devil Mansion for the layout, though the library, foyer and clock tower are based off backgrounds, as well as the basic design for the front. It's from a small, black and white pencil sketch).

I feel compelled to add that most of it was build by hand. Though, for my own sanity and good health the bamboo forest I build using repeated squares that slotted together (Straight, Corner, Dead End, Crossroads etc), the earth around the Palanquin Ship and some areas underground were excavated using MCEdit.

I've had this sitting on my computer for ages, but there's no fun keeping it for myself.. so here you all go. I encourage you to explore the area (The buildings are all pretty close together (usually just within sight of each other). If I was to draw a line around the border, than the Hakurei Shrine, Scarlet Devil Mansion, Hakugyokurou, Palanquin Ship and Eientei would be on the edges.
Use it for whatever. Building, exploring, roleplaying (keep me in mind if you plan to, I'd be interested in observing, maybe taking part), or blowing up/burning it all to the ground. :P

http://www.mediafire.com/?2jvjjdjw3t8z38e (http://www.mediafire.com/?2jvjjdjw3t8z38e)

40meg, and it's compressed into a .zip file called Enerva. Copy the Enerva folder into your Minecraft save folder. It'll most likely need patch 1.2.5 installed, but no other mods are required.
On Windows 7 it is located at:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft
the AppData folder might be hidden. Unfortunately I can't remember at the moment how to make folders visible.


Anyway, enjoy all y'all!

Fixed it for you. When I have a broken image, or when I can't right click on the page I just dig in the url code until I pull out the image. It's a handy skill.

It feels rather plain if you ask me. Maybe if you added shoulders and some kind of detailed top? Maybe an accessory in the hair? It just needs a bit more complexity.

Sketchbook Mobile Express (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sketchbookexpress&hl=en) for Android. It's not super sophisticated, but I tried a bunch of similar apps and this is the only one that wasn't completely frustrating to use. It's got, you know, layers and variable brush type/width/opacity and undo/redo and all those handy things. There is a premium version (which is two bucks, so I'll probably buy it), but the free version doesn't lack any essential features for quick scribbling. Highly recommend if you've got an Android tablet.

I revised the military dwarf side of the coin to not stick out, making the whole object less mass, and less mass = less production cost. The gold version of the coin for example is down $10 from before.

I wish this was real world currency...

Jegus, I feel lost when I see art like this that was made in blender. I look and wonder, 'Just how in the hell did they get those intricate designs? How?!'. I'm sure there are plenty of tutorials around for detail modeling, but still.

Nice work. And you too, Gizogin! I don't think I've ever heard of Creo.

Also I really like that xbow, dreadmullet. Well done. I don't know if it's just my browser or the file format or what, but that looks like it could use some heavy anti-aliasing.

The answer lies in the modifier stack. Curves, arrays and empties. At least that's how I'd do it.

Stop looking for tutorials on each new problem you face (not because they don't exist) instead think back on the tutorials you've gone through and try to remember what skills you learned and how they can be applied to this next problem. :)

Was interested in doing this since I read about it and also did a reverse-image search on it as well.

What do you think?

Spoiler: Is this how SCP-682 would look fully fleshed out? (click to show/hide)

I was ballparking the length of it (since I was compressing it big time, with full-on restraint; tail, of course, making the most of it's length, and the body needing to arch backward a bit as well), but I was thinking more how they would fit this behemoth within a 5mx5mx5m acid-proof tank; not to mention, how the thing was able to (still) chomp down on the poor fool eaten while getting a recording of it before talking, and since the incident, how the restraint on it's mouth would also be linked to the same apparatus that also binds it's arms and legs, as well as it's tail.

I also made sure to make him rather fuzzy, in nature (more like lots of hair, rather than feathers, considering the image, and the origins of the creature itself likely not following the same structure of our reptiles) in order to be consistent with the image. Having done a reverse-image search, knowing of the origins made me interpret the head shape better. I also included a diagram of how the head would look up-front, closed and half-open. He can still see you as he chomps forth. And even half-opened is enough to be like a crocodile, and he still has more range to chomp down with. More than enough to gobble up a fully grown adult or 2 whole.

This was a rough 15-minute rendering. About 1/12 the time it takes for me to make my better works (and those I haven't done in freaking ages). This was more a character drawing session, if anything. If anyone wants to render it in 3D, be my guest; and maybe we can toss this into SCP:CB while at it (at least, suggesting this appearance if it gets featured as wandering about.

30 mins. Fairly good for reference.

I just realized; what sets SCP-682 apart from other reptiles is that, although subtle, it has opposable thumbs, as well as toes.

Provided you still have all the layers, as well as the animation frames intact, just hit Save for web & devices... and choose GIF as the output/optimized filetype. The rest should be easy enough to figure out.

To make sure it works (or at least, doesn't play at light speed, and is a looping animation), it doesn't hurt to play the GIF before export.

Yeah, those are supposed to be cutebolds. I had at a point altered their ears so they looked less like snoopy and more like cutebolds. But then my laptop ate it all up when Windows auto-updated and I didn't save (at least, that's what I'm assuming happened, I was off grocery shopping for my dinner at the time and came back to find the laptop restarted.)

It's keeping all layers underneath it as the frames change, so you see some pixels bleeding through. If you're alright with a white background just fill the background with white, and it should fix the problem.

Otherwise I'm not sure. It might have to do with what settings you're saving the GIF with. You want to see if there is something along the lines of showing only one layer at a time.

Got photoshop as a gift, made some random sketches in it in like 10 minutes.

You mastered the grass brush quite quickly :P Go and sketch some more, you're good at that. I hope to see more of your stuff.

A portrait of Sóley, a musician. Doodled in school because of boredom, done while trying to remember a pic from one of her album covers. There are some mistakes, but I'm happy with it. Added some colours later, they kinda fit her music style.

well, he's wearing a bandanna over his face, sunglasses, a baseball cap, and ski goggles on top of the hat. I can't really add detail to his face. I may want to make things a little easier to tell apart (I still have a bit of trouble seeing the brim of his hat) but otherwise there's not too much i can do, other than remove most of the shading.

edit: when I do finish with it, I'll upload the photo I was using as reference, so you get the idea of what he looks like.

It's pixel art, and I didn't really give myself enough room to really add distinctions in his face. And it is he, thanks for checking first.

I'm not sure, but it's probably so then if they remove a chunk of their work because they don't like it, then they don't lose that color, if it's no where else in the painting.

More humdrum terrain to the average viewer, but to me it's marvelous that a few lines of code creates pretty realistic land o.O

For example, in the upper image you can almost imagine that the purple and green are undersea, so that it's a seaside with two blue islands.

that is actually pretty cool, there are a LOT of applications for stuff like that.

Hmmm, if I had both Blender, and GalenEvil's promised program that would export heightmaps to greyscale, there would be a way of using that to create terrain models.

combine that with Blenders new render engine (cycles, as used in my above images) and im sure you could make some cool stuff.

Eh. Don't have Blender.
And I don't have the time or will to learn it just for terrain making. ;P

About large images:
Code: [Select]
[img height=300]IMAGEURL.PNG[/img] would restrict the height. width works too.

ah thanks, had forgotten the tag for that. oh and btw blender is 100% free. not even some stupid premium bullshit, and learning basic modeling, animation, rendering, and lighting takes less then a day, you could probably be churning out passable stills in a few weeks.

thats more an issue of render time, that top one took about 8 minutes, and the bottom one took about 12, the ones in between were a lot faster though.

now thats just for one frame, multiply that by a couple hundred for just a shorty video.

Your work reminds me of a game called "Superbrothers: Sword & Sorcery EP". Have you heard of it?
I have yet to play that game, because my brother has yet to finish it (been about a year now) but I totally agree with you on the art style.

Yeah good spotting. Over the last two weeks I've been heavily inspired by S&S. Before then my pixel art style was looking more along the lines of my avatar, more standard black outline style stuff.
I listen to the music all the time as well. You guys should really check out Jim Guthrie if you haven't already.

I made a DF background in the style as well.

I wish I could draw cool things.
I was going to make a new thread about how I was going to try and get better at drawing this summer, but then I saw this thread and looked through a couple pages and gave up a little in my mind.
However, I did draw this:
Spoiler: Fucking MASSIVE (click to show/hide)
I realize that I should have his torso rotated to the left, but anatomic perspective is something I have a lot of trouble with.
EDIT
I tried redrawing with torso rotation.
It's the same guy from a different perspective (although his head is smaller, and he's a lot stockier). I drew him a lot smaller, the first guy's arm is there for scale (and because I drew them on the same piece of paper).
Spoiler: Still Large (click to show/hide)
I think he turned out better, despite being smaller and having a lot less time spent on him.
Also I forgot to shade/chainmail his legs and chain skirt.

@newsmuffin/any anatomy drawing hopefuls: a few anatomical tips.
1) 'normal' (see: idealistic normal, not real life normal) people are 8 'heads' high, as in their head is 1/8 of their total height. however if you want a 'giant' character 9 is better, and you can use 6 or 7 to make short characters.

2) the wrist of an arm should reach roughly to the horizontal line crossing the center of the pelvis, can be measured by getting the rough distance of the two sections of the arm, accounting for any changes made by the rotation/perspective of it, and seeing if it is roughly the same. (no need for a calculator, accuracy within 20% will still look normal enough)

3) other then those two just keep in mind every little 'neat fact' you have heard about human anatomy (all those ones 5th-8th graders find so fascinating)

(you seem to have gotten it pretty good, just the arms in the first image looks a tiny bit odd, and the head is a little small for 'realism' in each of them. however as always, fuck realism, artistic liberties come first and foremost.)


EDIT:
@Newsmuffin: your idea was neat enough and easy enough that I decided to steal it for practice on my tablet.
(http://tnypic.net/4346c.png)
even added a credit box so people finding it via other sources know its not my idea, hope you don't mind too much.

Thank you. Yeah, heads and faces are some of my other major problems, but I think I have perspective at least partially sorted out.
I would post another picture, but I cannot into semi-futuristic armor tonight.

I'm not a teaching/critiquing kind of guy, but...
Overall anatomy is bad, especially the torso.

Have you ever read Andrew Loomis's book "Fun with a Pencil"? Get it here (http://alexhays.com/loomis/), it was quite useful for a me when I was starting out.
Keep on drawing, find problems and fix them.

P.S. Long-term suggestions: try drawing simple household objects around you, draw people around you (or at least yourself), study anatomy books (so you can fix problems with drawing real people)
Be aware that drawing people from imagination entirely depends on knowing how the real human figure function.
P.P.S. Technically, you should ask for help at the Engraver's Guild thread here in the Creative Projects. Don't get discouraged should people lash at you there, though.

do you have any actual advice on this beyond "bad"?

Im aware of the anatomy problems with the guy on the left's hands/head and the skewed line at the bottom of his shirt, the legs need to be slightly repositioned.
with the guy on the right hes left thigh/hip look stretched out due to me drawing them too skinny and the foot too far away.

but if you have some actual advice beyond 'bad' it could be really helpful.

(it should also be noted that this is still a work in progress, if you think this sketch has issues you should have seen the first and second ones)

P.S. apologies if this response seems a little edgy but even on art centric forums I keep getting responses of "that [vague part of drawing] is bad/looks off" which is next to useless for actually improving your work.

Bombzero: The body seems off, especially with the scales. Lizardish tails usually flow into their bodies much more smoothly than, say, wolverine tails, which can safely be tacked onto the end of the spine with absolutely no ill effects*.

*Do not tack tails onto wolverines if you even faintly suspect that they're alive.

I revised the military dwarf side of the coin to not stick out, making the whole object less mass, and less mass = less production cost. The gold version of the coin for example is down $10 from before.

I looked it up and you don't get the zinc oxide fumes if you're melting pure zinc. Also, if you did get them for some reason, they're thick white and very obvious so you'll be able to tell.

The only problem is finding enough American pennies, because our Canadian pennies aren't being produced any more so I'm keeping as many as possible (and the modernest ones are made of copper-plated steel, not zinc).

I drew this for a game in FG&R, and sorta like how it came out, despite its flaws. Hopefully actually liking something I draw won't be too much of a fluke. Only 90 minutes from start to finish, too, which is quite good given my usual lack of focus.

For a programming project I am working on:

Spoiler: Large Image (click to show/hide)

The reddish round blobs are 'systems' in a universe. The things connecting them are gate-to-gate connections between the systems. The shown universe has 1000 systems and somewhere around 1700ish gate connection pairs. I am working on scaling it up to 50,000 systems currently :D

That's being rendered in 3D, so that's why it looks a lot more jumbled up the closer you look to the center of the image.

I just finished making a miniature chain mail coif, the first one I've ever made. It's for a friend who is dressing up a doll for some medieval party. Looks kind of derpy, but overall I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. Hopefully I'll be able to start on a full sized one for myself, I have quite a bit of free time this week.

I don't have the doll with me right now, but I do have this penguin that it roughly fits onto:

Okay, it's not pretty yet, but here is what I have so far for my Space Game which will eventually be using that Universe picture that I put up on the last page.

Watch Spaceships turn each other into GIBS!!! (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/108102506/WebPlayer/WebPlayer.html)

Left click on a ship to get some basic information about it. Red explosions are missiles blowing up, yellow explosions are ships blowing up. Most if not all of the little fighters that run around really fast should die as a result of the missile ships since missiles are way OP at the moment. The large rectangular ones are freighters, which the missile ships are 'supposed' to protect but they usually die due to the fighters guiding the missiles directly into them :P

For another project involving Liquid Flow Simulations:
Watch some Bouys settle out on invisible water >.> (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/108102506/Flow%20Balls/WebPlayer/WebPlayer.html)
It is going slow because if I did the simulation at real-time speeds it would settle out to an end-state much too quickly.

Getting back into Blender to work on stuff again. I decided to start working on the Paladin-Class Airship Excalibur in Blender this time. Got a much more user-friendly approach to it this time around. Just as well, instead of starting on the main long portion of the fuselage, I'm instead starting from the lower bridge and working my way up. I'm also applying a different rendering method, building it in stages, and using a guided system (align to grid) to make sure everything fits seamlessly as I work on each individual part; and duplicating the initial cube which is the source of all the fun. It's scaled in fixed increments, so no matter how tall and long I make it, as I move the next cubes into place to extend the model, it should always be a seamless alignment.

As of now, I finished the lower bridge (it has 2, an upper and lower), and the rear portion of it, before it links to the main rear body; and you can see where some landing gear would be placed so far (like bird feet or dragon feet). On the topside, it's flat as can be, but it has a pair of mirrored cubes on top aligned and ready to continue the upper portion of it. Where I intend to continue working I will leave a flat surface (there will almost always be a sign of the original cube I used for template.

Since the lower portion of the ship has always been obscured, I had fun coming up with the design for it. I found it funny that the main bridge windshield started to look like Kamina's glasses as I was working on it. I like how it turned out. Let's hope it'll be easy enough to texture when I finish it up.

And without further ado, where's what I have made so far (today was filled with nothing but distractions, I will get more done over time).
Spoiler: The image is 2 parts so far, with 2 other parts (still 1x1x1 cubes) on top of them, pre-aligned and obscured in the render (click to show/hide)

Nope. Completely original. I've always been fascinated by airships of all sorts, ranging from the classic rustic steampunk types, like the dirigibles along the lines of the Blackjack and Falcon from FF3/6, to the more modernized ones like the Highwind from FF7, to the outright exotic ones like FFX and X-2's Fahrenheit (FFX) and the Celsius (X-2), and then you have the crazy ones like the ones featured in FFXII. And that's just Final Fantasy's inspirations. I was also inspired by other series throughout the ages, like the small things from LEXX (season 3), for example. Can't list the rest off the top of my head, but there were others.

Anyway, this is supposed to be a battleship/med-capacity carrier armed with a Yin-Yang polarity cannon (regular energy cannon, but enhanced with magic, can also fire holy and demonic power, and as a de-facto nuke, both at the same time rotating in the form of a yin-yang for critical mass of spiritual energies resulting in a duality singularity blast of Absolution. In other words, a spirit-nuke, powered by a holy and arcane artifact with a secured connection to the perpetual generators linked with the 4D-μ (Mu, or Manipulation Unit). Naturally, combat rules frown upon the use of using a pair of stargates or a 4D-μ to place a gate at the muzzle and the receiving gate at a safe point away from the ship and making short work of a target (like melting a shield from 2 fixed points simultaneously). It also has a series of homing-laser secondary weapons, and rocket/missile/torpedo kinetic weapon alternatives alongside them, and a small battalion of auto-cannons lining the body for AA and smaller AS measures (preferred over machine guns). The ship can also carry up to 2 squadrons of fighters, and a small fleet of gunships (BAC-9 Barracudas (To-be rendered, another original design, with several varieties, from the Standard Gunship to Heavy Gunship, Recon/Racers, and construction "Bumblebees" mostly salvage-oriented)) of various varieties on board for ground combat and ship capture/salvage operations.

Alternatively, in order to follow combat rules, the ship has otherwise been designed to be really damn maneuverable for a carrier-battleship, with front-mounted thrust vector engines, as well as vector thrust on the backside, teamed up with pretty wide wings and ailerons, flaps, spoilers, and secondary rudder systems and air-anchors; with of course, internal ballast systems involving rather large brass-coated lead bricks (or decommissioned MAC-Cannon bullets used for demolishing starships from orbit), controlled via ferro-magnetic guidance systems with pulley systems for safety reasons. Simply put, this thing can actually do a snap-turn, and many other aerial maneuvers you'd never think a ship of such scale could ever pull off (it's got a dense infrastructure/skeleton especially on the wings to support the weight and stresses). The thing maneuvers like a race car in the skies, armed with nukes. Rumor has it that the entire crew is insane, and eggs on their pilot to go barnstorming with it, buzzing houses while upside-down, or power-sliding into a dry-dock, or even doing an immleman maneuver (upright half-loop to upright orientation again) . To be crew to this ship, you better have good G-force resistance, a strong stomach, and balls made of adamantium-plated dark matter.

I have the picture I'm using for reference, as well as something I want to be able to accomplish for rendering reasons.
Spoiler: Reference image (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: What helps it barnstorm and maneuver like a formula-1 car battleship in the sky; with additional help from the internal ballast systems. (click to show/hide)

Progress Update:
Just added the upper-main mid-front fuselage portion, and the main cannon attached to it. Going to add more to the back end to complete this portion of the mid-fuselage. Once that "Abdomen" is done, I'll work on the "Thorax" of it where the quarters, research and recreation/briefing rooms (or an on-board bar/tavern, really) are established, along with the main engine where the intakes linkup.

When that's done, the wings will be worked on, and basing off the backside's form, I can more accurately establish how long it can be built to look correct. Thanks to being made in pieces, adjustments and repairs shouldn't be too hard, as would be skinning it later on, I suppose.

UPDATE EDIT:
Spoiler: Just finished the topside, complete with cannon and upper bridge in view. (click to show/hide)
As you can notice, both bridges have a decent enough offset from the main cannon that they can both aim the main cannon forward. Especially useful when both bridges work in tandem with each other. Nice to know, operating them in tandem, seeing as they both have rather colossal blind spots to work with, but can complement each other. If going single-bridge with a single crew, there's an elevator, Enterprise-ish, that can allow the crew to switch bridges in a jiffy; and alternatively, a slide through the maintainence ducts is also a direct way between bridges as well (best done during auto-pilot or hover/stationary "sitting duck" mode).

The big flat areas you see are where the back wings are going to be fitted, and the rather large flat backside is where the ship's Thorax will be put in place. And yes, you can walk topside. The doors are big enough to allow medium-large cargo to slip through.

EDIT EDIT:
I am aware that the 3-D model is looking a little different from the drawing already, but I figure, since I made it about 6 years ago, I might as well update it. I had some ideas form over time since I drew it, and figured, since I'm building it from scratch (again) why not re-imagine a few features? I like some of the adjustments.

Oh, another game of inspiration for ship design has to go to Starcon, Master of Orion, and Endless Space.

Don't sweat it, it's not that important. I just see it so often that people will make huge images
with the intent of preserving detail, and post those huge images to the forum under spoilers.
High resolution is important, but not really to the web where everything is 72 dpi [some people have 96 I think]
300 or higher resolutions are mostly for printing (which looks crummy when you get pixels) or work that you
plan on resizing down anyway so that you can ensure that major details will be preserved even through simplification.

This is a golden warhammer. All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality.
It is decorated with silver. This object menaces with spikes of silver.
On the item is an image of dwarf in gold. The dwarf is striking a menacing pose.

That thing is beautiful, and also kinda sounds practical as a warhammer as well. Thing sounds heavy as hell, and being decorated with silver, it ought to hold together pretty well. A pretty pain-bringer.

Beautiful warhammer... Very dwarfy.

The one thing that struck me as odd is the handle grip. The bands are too far apart, they should be completely bunched together. (I realize when looked at from one side there are spaces that form diamonds, I'm talking about the other sides.)

Sweet hammer dude, love the metallic bump mapping on the hammer itself. Gritty enough to imply an actual forging process but smooth enough
to display the dwarves' ridiculous attention to detail. Did you unwrap the whole thing or just apply different materials to the different faces?

No. Kestvoshorik, or whatever I'll call it at any time, has it's own alphabet. And half of it is vowels. a al ar ae ael aer e el r ii iil iir i il ei eil eir aa aal aar o ol or oe oel u ul ur au aul aur

Then there's its own letters for sh th zh (I hate the letter "c". "ch" is never used.)

So basically, the alphabet is

Also, Amxu is turning cute again. Snang is too. I guess they can't help it.  Goblins are just adorable.  "A medium-sized humanoid driven to cruelty cuteness by its evil nature." x3

I want to ask Amxu something, but I can't think of good stuff to ask. :<
It's a frustrating trend in my art that the better I get at drawing Amxu the cuter she gets. Also her nose gets longer.
I'm sure there's a lot of random stuff left to ask, I've been trying to flesh out the setting a bit to add context but
my askbox is inevitably filled with 50ish messages regardless of how many I answer.

Kirjastalon Salissa
I've six hundred fifty books in this room,
And how many have I read? Well, not all of them,
There's some I think I'll never get around to-
and some I've read, but didn't understand.
Oh, of course I love all of them. Some more than others.
And all of them have loved me back- mathematics with its truth,
The languages with beauty, the literature with truth, again,
But of a different sort- of course, of course.
And so far only one has rejected me,
My love for it is forever unrequited.
Not much I can do about that.
Pull up a chair, old boy. A bar of Fazer?
A box of salmiakki, bitter as the tale?
I'm but a schoolboy, but my heart still aches for it...
It said- its words were cruel and soulless, raw and bare-
Kaksitellen ja kolmitellen heitä
Verkalleen, asteli rantamäkeä
Ylös, välistä useampikin...
Oh, anteeksi- etkö ymmärrä?
Tuo on ongelma. Mutta minä-
Mä en ymmärrä koskaan,
Ei nyt, ei huomenna. Till I die
It mocks me with the beauty of its tongue,
Its words are soft and lilting- clear as ice,
Opaque as pitch, soft as fur and hard as iron...
I pick it up, time now and time again,
A quest as futile and as slow as picking up the pipe from a mantelpiece,
And if that was seventy pages, this would take seventy thousand.
A word jumps, here and there.
I don't know what it's doing,
Only that in a mass of foreign nonsense
It chose to make its home- aika, unohtaa,
Missä, kirja, kiitos paljon-ei,
Rakkaus.

I cannot learn again the ä's and ö's,
The double vowels, rolling r's forsaken...
I was voted out.
Nilsen...Nilsen...Nilsen...Nilsen...Nilsen...
Voted out- it's not the cruel one, in the end...
I keep it still. But I can never love it.
I've six hundred forty nine books in this room...

I don't usually care about poetry, but I found this intriguing. From what I understood, you are trying to learn finnish?

I was in Finland for one and a half months as an exchange student before being kicked out becasue my host family were complete bastards. While there, I bought this book I'd heard about that's supposed to be the seminal work of Finnish literature for nuts like me who like Joyce and Proust and other Modernists, called Alastalon Salissa. I still have the book. It's never been translated into English- the guy who tried had to give up halfway through. So, the poem is mourning this book that I never got to read and- because there's nobody to practice my Finnish with around here, or really any way to- never will get to.

The title is a pun, by the way. Kirjasto means library, and Alastalo is a town- the title of the book means "In the room [or parlor] in Alastalo".

Post by: Itnetlolor on November 12, 2012, 05:26:04 pm
Made more progress on my ship:
Just added wings and more to the backside, and made the bulkhead extend to meet the front intakes. Still need to finish the backside, and add the rear vector-engine block, as well as the draft-channelers that close towards and on the tail.

You can now see some windows, and can get a better idea of just how tall this monster is. It's comparable in height to a cruise ship (up to 11-13 decks tall).

Spoiler: Progress Report: Looking good (click to show/hide)

Now I come and think of it, those wings are huge. And that's just the primary rear wings of the ship (Primary ailerons, flaps, and spoilers go there). Thank goodness this thing doesn't depend on liquid fuels, because otherwise, those wings would also be catastrophically heav(y/ier). Well, when the ship is moored or on the ground, the crew can play football on the wings. Funny thing, it sounds like what the crew of this ship would actually do during their downtime.


EDIT:
Considering I at least have the basic shape of the wings down, I might remodel them into something better (built in parts like the rear portion and the bulkheads). Considering the size, and just how low-poly it is, it seems fair.

EDIT EDIT:
Actually, it's an airship; but with proper tinkering of the 4D-μ, it can travel in space; but why travel through space when you can fold space to jump planets with an airship? Just be certain the coordinates on the Cortex remain accurate to the kilometer; otherwise, it'll be one hell of a ride down. Alternatively, we can always hire a Navigator psychic to help out with that nifty bit of magitek.

Thanks to ion thrust (or equivalent), it should be able to propel itself through space anyway; but it's primary cause is to fly around like a fighter plane of a battleship meeting a rally car's steering mechanics (e.g. Powersliding).

Oh yeah, and one more bit of trivia about the ship. The key to activate it is not some small key anyone can carry on their hand, but instead, is a sword/keyblade (something more badass looking than the ones you see in Kingdom Hearts; it has a more Final Fantasy design to it, and is modeled more like a claymore in durability and damage output, while still resembling a key in appearance (think a set of car keys)). You want authority to fly it, speak to the "Lady of the Lake", so the crew will tell you. Just hope you're good in combat.

Reason for this is because in case the ship is retired or decommissioned or rendered derelict; I would want it to be one of those legendary 'artifacts' that require some nifty elements to activate it (leave something behind for adventurers). So why not a "mythical sword" to activate a ship named after a mythical sword?

The issue? "Umm, shit, I don't know how to draw breasts"

Fortunately some asking around and advice from some people seems to have given me a pretty good outline for drawing the shirt over.

(Also you're all welcome, I actually used the width tags this time in consideration for people with a monitor less than 1920x1080. =p)

@Bombzero: that looks pretty good, and thanks for the compliment on my own work :D I think that the shirt would look a little better if the shirt were a little more flattened over the middle of the breasts instead of looking like it's squished down between them. Currently it looks like either an insanely formfitting shirt or that the dragon has no shirt on and thus just barely SFW :P

Yeah, that was basically linework demonstrating where the breasts would be with the shirt fully drawn.

Well, how bout this.

@Shook: They are supposed to be sectors similar to EVE:Online, so I'm guessing individual star systems. It's my first paid gig ^_^!

Just got Sector-gate connections working again, so hopefully I'll have a picture soon of that. 50k Sectors take a while to get all of their connections set up :( I need to make them use a better proximity check but I'll do that tomorrow. This is for a game where this universe map is stored on a server so speed isn't a huge concern right now. My save file is currently sitting at about 50MB. Once I serialize the connections it will probably jump up to 75-100MB >.>

The only decent control is typing "/nick Something" will change the speaker name to whatever you type after /nick so you don't have to type as me while testing hehe. It features 'tabs' which have their own line buffers and you can open and close them at will other than the "Main" tab which will stay open forever since having no tabs crashes the program.... >.>

I've been working on this drawing of a street in the middle of a city for around a week now.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I'm having trouble figuring out how to draw the building circled in red, every time that I draw it it seems as though it is out of perspective. The line separating the left sidewalk from the street also seems off to me. It almost seems as if it curves, but I'm not sure if it is that line or the line to the left of it separating the sidewalk from the buildings. Any advice on those two points or any other part is appreciated. If this is the wrong thread to post this in, just let me know.

That furthest building will be really narrow from the viewer perspective, think of how a picture hanging 10 feet away from a corner looks on a wall if you stand in the corner.

As for the lines? I'd have to say they both curve halfway past the second furthest building from the back.
When drawing straight lines in a program (that looks digital, it is right?), use whatever straight line tool the program has. if it doesn't have one get a different program.

I feel like a moron for not thinking to use the straight line tool, I've been watching too many streams of people being drawn. I'm not entirely sure what you meant, about the furthest building. (There isn't anything hanging on the walls in my house.) Here is my edited version so far:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
That last building still looks odd, I might just have to drive to an open street tomorrow and figure some things out. I'm not sure whether I'll keep all the cracks in the sidewalk either, I mainly just put them as placeholders until I'm able to look at an actual street. A lot of that is just going off of my terrible memory and pictures, which don't do justice to what your eyes can notice as much as getting outside does.

Lines are looking far better man, quite nice.

As for shading, think about the angle of the sun and basically draw a set of straight lines that are parallel by perspective*.


*Basically meaning they get closer together along with everything else, but remain parallel. The sun is much too far away(and larger than Earth) to actually have any "round" light from it.

Hope you don't mind, but maybe if the pinky were shorter, and a little narrower at the end it would look more like you want it to? The way the lines sort of curve smoothly to the right might be making it look that way too.

Last night I had a nightmare involving a Hockey rink, Counter Strike, PewDiePie, & a Slenderman-like creature. Since I had nothing better to do, I decided to do a quick pixel art attempt at it's face. Now, whenever it came close to you, It'd quiver more & more and it's face would get more terrifying, with it's mouth opening in a Creeper-like frown. It would also make an extremely loud roar once it got close to you. All in all, that's all it did: get close enough to scare you.

How do you make it lineless like that? Whenever I try sketching something and then freehanding over the sketch while shading, it turns out cruddy.

I can answer that one!

Step 1. draw linework.
Step 2. reduce opacity of linework to ~70-80%
Step 3. block in main color sections.

From here there are several feasible ways to go about it.
You could either erase the linework as you go correcting any issues that arise.
Or, for the more technical route that preserves your linework use a layer mask to hide the parts as you go.

From there you kinda work like normal except you might want to put more emphasis on the lighting than you normally would.

EDIT: Oh yeah, practice and time, those matter too. The more quickly you try to do something the worse the result is likely to be.

I can answer that one!
But I knew the answer :(

For redundant advice I'll fill in.

(http://i.imgur.com/MCMt0.png)
The images are more in order of layer than chronology but  I can explain.

First I looked at pictures of horses, lots of horses. Horses don't have lines, you see.
They don't have horns or metallic exoskeletons either, but that's easier to fake.
Anyway, having looked at twenty-ish pictures of horses and rejecting a whole bunch of shitty sketches
I came to the linework you can kind of see in panel 3. It was sloppy and mostly disregarded.
Now I can deal with it mostly chronologically.

Panel1: This is a lazy background. Most of the foreground is bright green so I figured red would work. I had previously taken a colors cheme from colourlovers.com which I use because I am lazy.

Panel2: I lay out the silhouette of the horse somewhat according to the linework and defined it from the background. A lot of this explanation could probably be summed up by saying I blocked in colors repeatedly and tried hard to ignore my linework, but I've already typed 150 words and am dead set on stealing five minutes if your life.

Panel3+4: I do some overly elaborate photoshop trick to make my line art match my shading so I don't have to pussyfoot around my lines while I paint over them. This seems to be what has bothered you in the past. I don't know what I did other than color inside my lines and try really hard to make sure there was a hard distinction between the two areas of tone. I guess just make sure you're using the hard brush at this point. The silhouette compensates for a lot of my weaker coloring at this point.

Panel5: This time I just added a bunch of fine details with a smaller brush and more extreme colors. Most of the changes are to the head. A sort of unspoken rule is that people will give a lot of leeway to detail on the trunk of the body and the background and stuff, but if you mess up the head and hands, everybody notices. Learned that from the androidart (http://androidarts.com/art_tut.htm) tutorial way back when. Have you tried asking people who know what they're talking about, cause so far you've got bombzero and me. :P

Panel6: I added a bunch of cloudy red stuff below the horse and green stuff for a kind of "mane" The red cloud was really necessary to offset all of that green. At this point I realize how much I hate that horn but figure the 2000x2000 image will mostly be seen at 75x75 so I let it slide.

Panel7:I add cool lightning and more clouds in the foreground so I don't have to draw hooves in perspective.

Now you've got a semi presentable digital painting that looks really good in comparison to the last 3

Quote from: bombzero on December 28, 2012, 02:14:16 am
EDIT: Oh yeah, practice and time, those matter too. The more quickly you try to do something the worse the result is likely to be.
There was some parable I wanted to source but I can't seem to. So I'll paraphrase.
"There was once a king who wanted a picture of a chicken.
He sent for an artist, and the artist told him he would have it ready in two years,
The king agreed and the artist descended into study of chickens.
When the artist came back in two years time the king asked "Where's the picture?"
The artist asks for a piece of parchment and produces an utterly perfect picture of a chicken within two minutes.
The king is flustered and asks why he needed all that time.
The artist responds that it took him two years to learn how to draw a chicken in two minutes"
In retrospect, I think it came from the animators survival kit

Anyway, the moral is that practice trumps time virtually always. Shit that takes me 40 minutes now is better than what took me three hours a year ago.
If you're afraid that people will dismiss your bad art, just don't show it to people. Nobody's so insecure that they need to show every scribble to the world.

Boy this is a really long post

In summation "Block in colors according to a defined silhouette, what are you doing reading this you should be practicing"

I think I'm getting slightly better at anatomy, right arm and hand are a little odd though.
The left shoulder is more or less correct, shoulders just look weird when significantly raised.
Shoulders might be a little too wide for females still, but counterbalanced slightly by increasing the width of the hips.

Any opinions on the clothing? does it look decent?

Her left shoulder isn't attached to her body and her legs are way too long.

Also boobs are attached to the chest, they aren't circles that come out off of it.

And it has no neck.

I could point out more but those are the biggest IMO.

If you're going by human anatomy, yes. However she is, for one, leaning slightly forward at the waist, and two her lower leg is only about as long as her torso is, that is pretty similar to human anatomy and so is the ratio of lower leg to upper leg. Not that anything non-human has to have human anatomy you know...

And these aren't circles coming out of it, not sure where you're getting that from, perhaps the fact that demonstrating such a thing with linework is slightly tricky?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, go look in a mirror and raise your shoulder as high as you can. Besides raising the left side of her torso an inch or two I'm not really sure what you are talking about.

Her head is leaning forward, covering the neck from the viewer's perspective.

Huh, so apparently it IS common practice to just dick around with something until it looks right. Fancy that! I suspect i might be doing more dicking than most in order to achieve desired results, though. Case in point: this took 2-3 hours (http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/343/6/f/lizardinosaur_thing_by_shook12-d5niadp.png). But hey, i'm unaccustomed to working beyond pixel art scale (done pixel art/spriting for ~4 years, regular mousedoodling for a few months), and i'm actually drawing with my off-hand, so yeah. Not that i think it would get any better if i switched to my dominant hand. :U

AS FOR YOUR LIZARDGRL, you're obviously aware that her shoulders appear rather raised (i wonder why, though, i'd get a horrible headache from sitting like that), but another thing is that her legs and feet appear rather large compared to the rest of the body. The feet could just be perspective (she's facing the camera, after all), but them thunder thighs, bro!

Dicking around until it looks right (also known as "winging it") happens usually when you don't understand the way something works, or how to get a certain result (like say me and most PS functions, don't really know why or how most of them work as they do but trough trial and error I can usually get what I need). The moment you don't need to dick around to make something usually means you know enough about it to accurately render it (again, happened to me with metals and their highlights, watched videos, images, tried it myself but one day it just worked and ever since I can do somewhat properly metals). That's usually the moment you should start working on other stuff you need to dick around with until they look right.

At a certain point in time you should theoretically know how everything works and how to get there, that unfortunately means you're about halfway done to becoming a master engraver :P

This is about exactly how I figured out most things I know about art at the moment.
Step 1: Brute force it, get irritated, toss out results.
Step 2: read some stuff on it, try again, get irritated toss out results.
Step 3: sleep, wake up, do normal stuff, get bored, try again, nail it (more or less)perfectly.

AS FOR YOUR LIZARDGRL, you're obviously aware that her shoulders appear rather raised (i wonder why, though, i'd get a horrible headache from sitting like that), but another thing is that her legs and feet appear rather large compared to the rest of the body. The feet could just be perspective (she's facing the camera, after all), but them thunder thighs, bro! I know, non-human anatomy, and legs ARE a lot thicker than arms, but i think these might be a little bit too thick.
Other than that, though, i'm seeing a tremendous improvement in your art. Kudos! c:
One of the most irritating thing I've had to deal with in art is different communities having radically different opinions on what is "correct".
Most of the time it seems like conceited ignorance due to embedded conceptions of how something with no groundings in reality is supposed to look in their head (An extreme problem in furry-centric communities), but other times, like in the case of this thread or the Data Realms forums, yall seem generally able to accept that something is in fact not a real creature and thusly does not have a "perfect" way to draw it.
You in particular Shook, along with Adriaan over on the Data Realms forums seem to get this better than most people, thanks for that.

That being said, The legs issues was a minor mistake born of an attempt at perspective, I'll take that under advisement.

Also, for some constructive criticism, the right hand is out of perspective and because of that it appears off. Look at some images of people sitting like that (get some royalty if you want lizard people) and you'll see that the fingers and the hand itself is much flatter.

This is most noticeable if you look at the leg itslef and the way it's positioned and then look at the hand. Basically it doesn't look like it's resting on the leg at all but more like it just put the fingers there, kinda, or something, dunno, slightly erratic thinking now, drank a bit then chomped a bunch of food at a late hour :S

However, irritating as it may be, they are FOR THE MOST PART trying to teach you what they think is right. There will inevitably be clashing opinions, so in the end it's basically up to you to piece together what YOU think is right, since there is no universal "this is correct" when it comes to art (well, barring the obvious basic things that are tied to reality, such as circles being round). That's what i've come to think, anyways, and it's one of the things i find so utterly amazing about art. I mean, even in our relatively small community, there is a HUGE diversity in art styles, and they all look great!

/me sappy rambling that might well be completely wrong but hey

My first attempt to use the tablet with paint.net looked only marginally better than drawing with a mouse.

The line that runs the full length top to bottom starts as the beak, curves over the head, and follows what would be the spinal column down to the tail.  Two differently stylized wings  on either side of it.

I just make them up as I go along, I don't usually know what i'm drawing until i'm at least a few minutes into it.

I've got some older sketches from before i got my tablet, i could post some of those too if i can find them.

I tried my hand at a landscape last night.  I'm not entirely satisfied with the coloration, i may try repainting it from the sketch some time:

I feel like the landscape outside of the city area is too barren and grey, and i'm no sure how much i like the lighting, but this could be symptomatic of the other issue.

You're one ugly dude man.

@Vactor, the colours could use to be a bit livelier (as is often the case when doing giant ass trees, everything seems to be lush), but the main issue I think is that the perspective is so different and so changing in such a small area, makes it feel wonky.Or it could all be an issue of shading and giving it some depth to emphasize what's important and make the background less noticeable. Clouds would do nicely here I think.

Made: a brief Doctor Who fanfic

"COME ALONG, POND!", the Doctor hollered into the storm, his face sticking out of the TARDIS. Amy Pond ran madly towards him, with her red hair blowing out in front of her, and jumped into the TARDIS. The door slammed behind her.

"AND, CUT! That's a wrap for episode _____, folks," came the muffled voice of the director.

"Well done, Karen," said Matt, barely visible within the dark TARDIS set piece.

"Thanks. You too," she replied.

"Shall we get some coffee?"

"Sure."

They stepped out, and walked off set.

They had barely made it to the stage door, when they heard a familiar whirring noise behind them. What the hell? thought Matt as he turned, and saw before him, not one police box, but two, standing on the set. The door of one opened, and out stepped a very familiar man, with wild hair and a blue suit.

"Dave?" asked Matt. "What are... how did..."

"Dave? Who's Dave?" replied the man. "I'm the Doctor. Where am I, exactly? this looks like..."

"Oh, very funny, Dave," Karen interjected.

"I told you, I'm not Dave, I'm the Doctor!"

Karen narrowed her eyes, then opened them wide in shock. "You're serious, aren't you."

"Yep," replied the man.

I'm not entirely sure what you're working on, but judging from it's title 'Flood Routing', I'm assuming it has something to do with fluid mechanics and (given the image) procedurally generated landscapes. It is, therefore, far beyond anything my skills could handle. Props to you, Skyrunner!

That landscape thing is actually quite neat, props on that! c: (i can never get landscapes right myself, so i jelly aaa)
Hard to say with the Finn's, needs moar contrast and fewer straight lines. Or at least fewer lines that aren't up/down/left/right, because an excess of such lines often makes it appear blocky and stiff. Mostly speaking out of own experience, because some artists can make it look rad as hell, though i'm not one of those. But yeah, you generally want to have some curve and/or angle to your lines (or just some irregularity, just look at your own landscape for an example), it really adds some dynamicness(?) to the image.

That is an excellent and awesome piece of music. Do you know how awesome it is? I get the epic-chills from listening to it, because it evokes such epic imagery in my head. NOT MANY SONGS DO THAT TO ME. :D

@Ricky: Ay that's pretty cool yo! I have to wonder though, what's the red ring on the planet? Red Ring of Doom indicating a planet that doesn't support life? :P
Also, our sun is a star. Basically just draw stars like you'd draw the sun, except way smaller/more distant, and by proxy, dimmer. Basically shiny little dots.

Oh yeah, i managed to pick up the pen tool in GIMP and actually brawl it to give me a neat outline out of the previous dinosaur doodle i posted.

Apparently this pen tool really does work, because otherwise my linework is scratchy (http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/329/6/c/doodling_them_dargons_by_shook12-d5m65qv.png) and rather (http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/347/0/9/fist_by_shook12-d5nwx90.png) wibblywobbly (http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/046/c/6/you_are_doing_bad_things_sir_by_shook12-d5v254c.png). :U (though i s'pose it's worth noting that i draw with a mouse and high sensitivity)

Also, 20 minutes? Hot damn, that's amazing (both for the time taken and the actual quality)! Those doodles you see links to right up there? They're what i can do in a similar time frame. >.>
I totally get what you mean about that creative energy bsnss, though i typically get it late at night when i should be sleeping. In the mornings where i have to go to classes, i'm generally just busy hating my being awake at that time of the day. :P

Well there's your problem :P

I dabbled with the mouse before I got my tablet (I was so fascinated by digital art in that period that I charged into it by any means I had, and was determined to get a tablet sooner or later) and I remember how painful it could get at times :C

Work on getting that tablet dude, nothing worse than wasted potential.

Already working on that, though for me it's more a matter of gathering up courage to tell people out there in reality about my artsy fartsy tendencies than economy.
INCOMING INSECURE RAMBLING (which you need not concern yourself too much about)

---

For some odd and inexplicable reason, i feel EXTREMELY apprehensive about it, even though i kind of want to get it out of my system (because constantly thinking about it is actually kind of stressing me out). I suppose part of the reasoning is that the irrational part of me is saying HOW WILL PEOPLE REACT? The rational part of me is somewhat underpowered in comparison to the irrational part, even though it does say that me and my bro have VERY similar mindsets, so he'd probably respond in a positive manner. I mean, i think his escapades in web developing were pretty cool, so why wouldn't he think the same of my artings? It's not quite as clear with regards to my parents, even though i recall that my dad seemed pretty proud back when i dabbled in 3D stuff. Some years have passed since then, but surely he can't have changed that much? It's also not a sure bet with my friends over at uni, but they've generally been extremely accepting of my antics, and the response i got from revealing my game in progress was downright overwhelming in its positivity. Would the response be the same for my artings? That's what i'm concerned about. It might be that there's something wrong with me, but i am terrified of rejection. So much so that merely wondering if i unwittingly have done something minor that would make one of my friends dislike me makes me feel bad.

AND HERE COMES THE IRRATIONAL PART: Since my brain has realized that doing what i already do without changing is acceptable to others, why would i throw myself out into things that could endanger this acceptance? I know i've received positive feedback from the internet, but the unavoidable fact is that it's much harder to tell people something face to face than it is to just write it and press "post". On the internet, i have time to consider my words and responses. When speaking to someone, everything happens MUCH faster, and although i can engage in random talking with my friends, i still fear that i might accidentally say something wrong. I have a feeling that i am much more emotionally unstable than my peers, so they'd probably not really care if i accidentally said or did something dumb, and the worst possible thing that could realistically happen is that they just wouldn't be interested, which objectively isn't a big deal. So why am i so apprehensive about it?

...

Irrational reasons. It's just a matter of overcoming them, and this rambling has actually helped me getting closer to that. It also displays my highly developed ability to digress. :P (also fondness for mood whiplash)

Post by: Jopax on February 19, 2013, 03:09:09 pm
Heh, somewhat similar to my situation, I used to be like that and kept my art mostly to myself, again, mostly because my parents were either indifferent or dissmissive of anything I drew, simply because it wasn't high art or anything but robots and monsters and stuff I like drawing, not the generic crap other kids did. That's about the time I became extremely distrustful of them, and kinda decided to show it to people, and heck, most folks liked that shit. And I kinda kept at it (mind you this was sometimes trough elementary), drawing and doodling and generally creating on an almost daily basis ever since. And in the last year or so I think my parents kinda realized that my digital and other art is actually pretty damn good, despite them disliking the subject matter.

So I guess, what I'm trying to say is to stop worrying about other fleshbags and do what feels good, if that's art then fucking do art 'till the day you die. Seriously, with this stuff your greatest enemy is you, once you beat that bastard into submission there's nothing to hold you back (aside from death or something, but there are workarounds I'm sure).

So press on random internet dude, great things might come from that (or horrible, but that's the great thing about it, you never know what's going to happen until you try).

PEP TALK HO!

So I suppose the main focal point of this was learning how to shade better. As it turns out all I know how to do is transition colors well then use the smear too and mix them.

Initially I was going to draw a rose, but they looked hard as hell, so I drew a tulip. Only after did I realize that I gave the tulip a rose stem. fack.

Quite randomly, I wanted to ask— did you expect that people weren't actually imagining your avatars and thus needed a reminder? I suspect that there are plenty of other people here who accidentally imagine how various cartoon characters would die painfully if their shapes were converted to flesh.

Lol'd at the stem part, haha. Looks quite good actually, though i have to say that the flower itself looks a bit dark and dull for a flower, mostly in terms of colour. Tulips in particular tend to have rather vibrant colours (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bc/PikiWiki_Israel_12719_Jerusalem_forest.JPG), so this is one of the rare cases where one should be careful with the darker colours. The stem looks excellent though, great work!

@Jopax: Aww, thanks for the kind words! I giggled when you said that "random internet dude" bit, because it made me realize how awkward it must be to suddenly and without warning be blasted with the insecurities of a completely random dude you've never met. So, sorry 'bout that, i get emotional pretty easily. :P

In light of this, i decided to finally slap some shading on that detectosaurus i posted earlier.

@Shook, that's one of the things I love about the internet actually, it removes most inhibition that face to face social interaction carries with it and somehow makes it easy to talk about the strangest stuff and the most personal stuff too. Just gotta take the good with the bad I guess (your stuff by no means is bad just to be clear).

The Dino looks spiffy as ever, have you thought about doing the comics in color? On a weekly basis or something?

@Djohaal, again, awesome stuff, like the day one much better, the night one needs more dramatic lightning to make it pop against the background more (or a more interesting backdrop so it blends in more easily for that complete dehumanization cyberpunk feel).

Anyways, new doodle, about 20 minutes or so, trying to get them done as quickly as possible, this one feels kidna bland :S

Draw a bug. Seriously, make your own insect. It's lots of fun I think. Or arachnid. The fourth legs can be modified legs. For like, stabbing things. Or hugging.

That is an interesting idea, actually. Maybe two a week? That'd be far less exhausting, while still allowing plenty of time to pen tool it up and maybe add colours. Not quite sure about the colours or whether i should... STICK to the stickman style, but hey, all in due time!

Okay I think I've actually got this AU Terra sprite looking pretty acceptable. Hopefully, it's noticeable that she's wearing a sort of light breastplate and bracers instead of the leotard from her original appearance. And if I was very, very lucky, she gives an impression of her eyes being cold and empty, as she's wearing a Slave Crown here, but I may be projecting what I envision onto the actual image there. Anything I need to clean up, general tips, etc.? The armor isn't very interesting, since that's just a recolor of the original sprite with more dakka (itself recolors from other sprites), but I can't really imagine what else to do with it.

Ok so question: Made from scratch or modified? Because if it's from scratch, then that's really awesome. In any case, it's a bit hard to see the details of such a relatively dark sprite against this glaringly bright background. Any chance of getting a zoomed-in version (as in x2 size with no interpolation)? Easier to see the details that way, and thus easier to give actual useful feedback. :U

Ideally, you'll want every single part of the sprite to be in motion during something like a run (like you did with the rest of the body), it doesn't even have to be all that big a motion. A tutorial once told me that a single pixel of movement can add a whole lot of life to the sprite! That's not to discredit the rest of the dawg though, it's a lovely run-cycle. c:

also yesterday i took 15 minutes to practice some BODY LANGUAGE via stickmen

(http://i.imgur.com/csUJlmy.png)

Fairly interesting practice actually, since i'm used to drawing most of the expression via faces. The lack of a face complicates that notion. (and yes i know they're neither proportionally or anatomically correct, they're stickmen)

edit: also faces

I suppose it would be Boba, as he's got a Carbine and Cargo Pants.  I haven't decided if I'll paint him in Boba Fett's colors, or just turn him into some un-named Mandalorian with some other colors

That was with my tablet, using autodesk sketchbook, which is the software i've found that best emulates a pencil drawing.  They have a free version available that I used for a while before I bought the full version.  The free version limits the number of layers you can work with, and merges all layers when you open a saved file, but you can still do a lot with it.

Honestly, I don't have much of a clue how I exactly went about doing it. Trial and error most of the time and I usually wing it without much thought put into remembering the exact process.

Generally tho, start off with a big shape of the mountain with a hard brush with some randomization to make the edges feel more natural. Then after deciding what it will kinda look like you go in with progressively smaller and harder brushes while you detail the stones, snow, and foliage to your desired level of detail. Some references or even textures can help speed up the work and even add more detail to the piece. After that it's just lightning passess with shadows and light figured out from the shapes and the rest of the scene.

I'll try and do a quick process to hopefully show it off :)

Ok so question: Made from scratch or modified? Because if it's from scratch, then that's really awesome. In any case, it's a bit hard to see the details of such a relatively dark sprite against this glaringly bright background. Any chance of getting a zoomed-in version (as in x2 size with no interpolation)? Easier to see the details that way, and thus easier to give actual useful feedback. :U
Base image (http://www.videogamesprites.net/FinalFantasy6/Enemies/Mega%20Armor.gif). Basically, the rider is largely original, though I did use the one in the base sprite as a reference for scale. The mech is not original at all - the additional dakka is just copied from a couple of different sprites and blended in. I'll get a bigger one up when I get home.

EDIT: Here you go.

Moar sprite! This one's intended to be General Leo, again with more armor than his original incarnation. Tried to take light elements from European armor under the coat with some stereotypical-samurai-style shoulder things atop it, can't say how well I've succeeded here. 'S all fantasy armor, anyway, so functionality and resemblance to the genuine article is less important than visually evoking the idea of it. I've been looking at some actual stuff and do need to fiddle around with the shoulder armor, since I didn't use a reference at all, but I'll handle it with the rest of my revisions.

Something feels a bit off, but I'm not sure what it is. Probably to do with the posture. I've never had to deal with that before, but this is educational. I spent well over half the time I did on this fiddling with the legs.

EDIT: Oh, and he's black. I have absolutely no idea what color his skin is canonically supposed to be, so I just went with my own headcanon since I didn't want to make it some sort of gray-purple-brown (http://www.videogamesprites.net/FinalFantasy6/Party/GeneralLeo/General%20Leo%20-%20Status.gif).

I combined two things I animated/drew:

I've been fiddling around in Autodesk Maya, so I angled the camera to make it look like you're looking over a ridge, rendered the frame, and Photoshopped in a Jopax-style mountain I'd made for practice.

EDIT: I just realized that the grass didn't have shadows for some reason, but I looked around and found out what was wrong, re-rendered it, and here it is again.

Going well! Consider painting up the 3D bits to bring them in line with the mountain, doesn't have to look realistic as long as the style is unified.

Anyways, been trying to do a nice piece for TGJ but just couldn't get it right at all, the image in my head and what I put out were very different and I just couldn't see how they would become the same. So I fire up UNKLE and go for a mech doodle, something I haven't done in a while I guess (atleast not digitally). Some 40-ish minutes later :

About this thingy: all the assets (aside from the magic glow) were taken from the .bsa files from Skyrim, converting to .obj files with NifSkope, and put together in Autodesk Maya. I had to re-rig the character model, which sort of works. I need practice with rigging. Fortunately, UV maps were exported from NifSkope with the models, which made it easier. The swirly glow was done with Maya's fluid effects thingy.

Fun fact: you know the character models in video games? They usually don't come in one piece. At last, though, the Dovahkiin has been cobbled together from a head, hair, robes, hands, halves of boots, and the upper part of a torso. He may be poorly rigged; he may have a face that would scare small children; his skin may be the color of freeze-dried squash; none of that matters. He's ready to take on (or get eaten by) dragons.

Fus ro dah, motherhubbards.

Try to keep from using sharp, defined shapes and lines when you want to draw nebulae? Sorry, but I think what Jopax means is that you need to use more detail, or more accurate detail, rather than trying to create the oxymoron "a sharply defined nebula". Take a few moments to focus individually on small (200x100), random sections of your drawing (using window resizing if necessary), then compare each ~wisp to various shapes of vapor/cloud/smoke/fog in photos (Hubble or otherwise); do those pieces really look like gas?* Because to me, they all tend to look a lot more like opaci-brush squiggles surrounded by blur; they lack the suggestion of 3d shape that comes with a 3d object. Might want to spend a while looking at photos you've dug up and imagining what shapes produced them.
 Now, in the nebula photos you might have noticed that the stars tend to act as both foreground and background; where sometimes the nebulae occlude them, contain them, or get lit up by them. It helps especially here to remember that those gases do not actually glow visibly; all that colored light comes from stars in or around the nebulae.
 (This is all completely ignoring that without the preface the drawing looks like it was supposed to be a comet in the middle of breaking to pieces.)

Also, take a look at the times that guy said he took for his nebulae; 4-7 hours each work— or in other words, he's probably spent about 120 hours on just that first deviantart page of paintings. Practice power.

*Or, in a different spot, do those •'s and randomly oriented +'s look like stars? Remember that the + is a result of the camera taking the image or artificial lens effects, so them being different orientations implies a bunch of different images stitched together. Also, said stars look like they would through an atmosphere over a city, instead of from a space telescope.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Jopax on March 14, 2013, 04:44:23 am
Pretty much what he said, it's not that you need harder shapes (I'm still struggling with those, but forcing yourself to work with opacity control off and jacking it up to 80-ish helps) just smaller highlights and indications as to what might be there. Right now the center is very overblown, dialing that back and squiggling in small lines to show cloud edges would make it more interesting, alternatively use shadows to show that there is volume in a shape, the best example of this would be the Horsehead nebula:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/Wide_Angle_Shot_-_Horse_Head_Nebula.jpg)

Try doing that one for practice, doesn't need to be the whole thing, but doing atleast a small part to see how you can achieve the tangible look of it.

I tend to just doodle these things into my notebook during classes, and scanning looks kinda off with a spiral notebook. With any luck, I'm going to be able to paint (digitally) over picture, and won't have to worry about redrawing it. Although they may start popping up in more of my notebooks.

It's the most charismatic picture of a lamprey I could find which was instantly recognizeable as such.

And not all lampreys feed as adults.

And nice dinosaur.

I hardly ever get headaches, but I had one by the time I finished this.  The face is a 3d model, but the hair is painted, because I couldn't learn 3d hair fast enough to turn it in by tomorrow.  I tried, though.  The results were pretty funny looking. Having a tablet would have really helped with that painted hair, which still looks a little oddly styled.
I lulzed at the humor of it. Created by a bunch of long dead ancient chinese people? An octopus! Rated R for "Some Language". ~HOHOHO!!!~

None at all. I mean, I tried Paint out, but that's not really comparable at all to GIMP. A mechanical pencil and some paper is the closest experience I have to graphics programs.

Why thank you. the trick for hands i find is to base them off a skeletal hand, then add flesh/metal casing. Works well for me.

BTW, does the floor look reflective. i tried, but not sure how well it worked.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Shook on March 28, 2013, 09:34:25 pm
Well, to be honest, it doesn't really look reflective, no. Depending on how reflective it is, i THINK it'd look better if the reflection was more pronounced, as well as directly in extension of the object on the floor. If it looks to be mirrored, then that's a good thing. You did nicely with the box... machine... thing on the left, though, that's a good reflection. (as well as coolio said, hee hee)
Also, if it's a really sharp reflection like that of glass, the reflection doesn't get significantly more dim with distance. If it's a more rough surface, it'd obviously get blurred by a certain amount, but the blur is a constant, so distant objects will be more affected by it than close objects.

This guy is a character for a thingy I'm planning. He's untextured, unrigged, and unhaired, but I think progress is going smoothly considering how this is the first full human I've modeled.

On the characterization/personality side of things, he's like a Britishish mix-up of Mordecai (http://lackadaisycats.com/index.php) and Halt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranger%27s_Apprentice), with his appearance based off of Lord Godfrey (http://www.wowwiki.com/Vincent_Godfrey). As such, I've decided his working name, until I decide upon an actual one, is Mordehaltfrey.

Hehe, I was just tossing in a forest to see how it would look with the Overlay (The hills are 100% Overlay). The tutorial just covered hills, rather than 3D objects, but I'm finding Overlay is very flexible for lighting and shading. The only thing I don't like about it is having to constantly change which shade of gray you're using, but the alternative is screwing with a huge range of colors that may or may not change later.

I finally finished modelling all four main characters for my current project, so I've moved on to rigging. I didn't think the body was going to be a problem, but I wasn't sure about the faces. Fortunately, it turned out to be simpler than expected. These are some expression tests. There are still a few problems to work out, but it turned out pretty good for a first try. There are eight bones in the mouth, one on the jaw, two for each eyebrow, two for each eye, one below each eye, and one on each side of the nose.

I like the first one more, like some twisted nightmare or something, possibly an acid trip during night. Second one is too blurry and too dark, but keep at it, most people starting digital painting have trouble with hard and defined edges.

Anyways, since I don't want to doublepost or edit have this roughly two hour piece:

Mostly because I'm trying to get down the technicalities, the perspective and all that. Sort of a study of the starting piece with some minor modifications to make it slightly more dynamic.

I was working on painting without a pencil sketch, no real intent, but I ended up with this:

Not the best, and I'm still not quite happy with how unclean edges are, but it was good practice, and much better than previous attempts without pencil lines.

Interesting tutorial, I had been kinda doing stuff like that already, using erasers to give hard edges.  I'm not a huge fan of making each brush stroke its own layer, but it would probably help for me to use more layers while painting.  I do it when I color my sketches, I guess i've just got a mindset that you should be able to paint everything in on one layer (like you paint on a single canvas) but digital brushes don't give you enough control for that.

Also I think i'm going to watch some more bob ross to pick up simple techniques for landscapes.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Jopax on April 22, 2013, 04:42:22 pm
Not neccessarily each stroke, but grouping certain things together can make painting complex things much much easier in terms of cleaning up the edges and the whole piece in general. While painting everything on a single layer has its charms and is great fun to do, refusing to do so is denying an immense amount of advantages digital painting offers. Also for landscape techniques you would probably benefit most from watching several different artists doing it, this gives a great variety that you can pick and choose from your favourite ones.

Might yet fiddle with this some more, because i'm not sure i like the super blurry brush strokes (and, as another bromate mentioned, the light colour isn't quite adequate).

Since CATIA is NURBS based, to get my creations into pretty much anything else, I have to export it into a polygonal mesh. Sadly, catia only speaks one polygonal language, and that happens to be the nearly useless stereolitho format. (.stl). Because of the rather.. hrm.. poor features of stl, I import that into blender, merge, group entity data, and apply textures.

I use blender, because it is free, and basically any output format can be built from it.

I uploaded a lion-less version of said wardrobe to Opengameart.org here. (http://opengameart.org/content/wardrobe-high-poly)

Warning, the file uses over 300k polygons. It is not boned, rigged, or animated. But, if you want to use it in something, it's cc:by licensed, so just declare where you got it from, and its OK.

I have that executive desk in blender format laying around someplace too, but I forget where. I would happily make static objects like this if anyone asked. I put extra effort into the wardrobe though, because an IRL friend asked for it specifically. (He's a CS Lewis fan. Screw disney.)

I might possibly consider making furniture meshes (without textures. That's DIY.) On request if anyone wants one. Just have a sample picture of the kind of furniture to show me o. Hand.

Didn't entirely understand the link, but I can give the pronunciation and meaning.
"Tsaht, VU-zern, VOWSS teer AL-fuh-bet wol-mekh" (for the kh imagine a hissing cat or something) "-ver, vaynds. Cries, VOWSS DAY-zhen teer MAH-gray-ar vaynds teer Dze-nit wol-mekh-ver. Yole-SOLE-ter teer geh-dess-et Shin ten-ver."
Directly, that translates to "Yes, then. I an alphabet made, and. Hell, I even a grammar and a sentence made. Language a very nice thing is."
Essentially, "Yes, then. I made an alphabet, too. Hell, I even made a grammar system/sentence structure. Language is a beautiful thing."

Basic word order is Subject - Direct Object - Verb - Details in any order.
The alphabet is approximately 55 letters long, mostly vowels, complete with lower case. Said alphabet mostly resembles Daedric and a few Heiroglyphics, with elements of Cyrrillic and Georgian blended in.

It is hard to say a sentence in Kestvoshorik without using a suffix or prefix. Wol- makes the verb happen in the past, while -vr turns a noun or an adjective into a verb. Ge- is essentially like our word for very. Unmentioned in the sentence were vyin- which makes it future tense, -vrn, which makes a noun/adjective into a gerund, and lon- which is basically not or un-.

I've got two for a book I'm writing, though I haven't done much work on one as it only comes up in place names and stuff like that. This one is called 'Grilarco', is the language that most dragons use, and a few communities of humans. I made things easy on myself and decided that dragons were insufficiently dexterous to have developed writing, but I've got a pretty complete grammar and sentence structure. There are a few different dialects, which differ mostly in pronunciation (Hausidaric dragons tend to slur their words, while Thearan dragons sometimes elongate syllables, such as changing 'grys' to 'gerys' for example). Sentences are mostly formed by taking words and sticking various combinations of endings onto them. Verbs have three usually, which specify the speaker's intent (making a statement, presenting a hypothetical, commanding or asking a question), whether the action is continuous, and the tense. There's no real difference between adjectives and nouns, with for example the same word meaning 'possible' or 'possibility' depending on how it is used.

Just a few soft brushtrokes and then erase away the shape of a face. It's really not that hard to do guys, especially with a tablet, so really, quit the praise and get back to arting!!!

Also another guy said he looked like Shadow from Shadow.

Edit:

Also another quckie, some twenty or thirty minutes, insipired by the storm that raged up 'till a few minutes ago.

The 21 second mark on this video is what helped me solve that particular problem:

http://vimeo.com/11559942

The important thing to note is that the area around the sternum appears flat, with the bulges forming at the sides, near the arms.  This helps differentiate from large male pectorals.

(I used this technique to do this sketch I posted awhile back:)

If you were trying for a male chest, then you may want to go a bit more boxy, and perhaps a less heavy line weight.

Yeah, the line was far too dark. I drew it, and I didn't want to have to redraw a lot of it, so I left it as is. And thanks everyone else for the feedback, I do need to work on some stuff.

Edit: actually, after watching that video, it doesn't seem like it will take all too much to fix (I could be horribly wrong, though.)

Edit2: also, for anyone wondering, the drawing is supposed to be Danica Pure-Spring from Skyrim.

That looks really cool.  :3

I have a little trouble with focusing on the characters properly, though.  I'm thinking maybe cropping off some of the right side, and maybe some of the bottom would change that. You'd want to be careful not to cut through any joints with the page edge, if you do that.  Of course, keep the original.  I could be way off.  x3


Edit:  Hmm...  now I'm not so sure about the cropping.  I wonder if my color settings are messing with the way that I see it.  My LCD monitor makes the color and brightness look different at different angles.  x3

Yeah that is something I run into when drawing, what appears to be a dark line on my laptop will look white or invisible on my desktop unless I crouch down to look at my screen from the correct angle.  Most of the colors I used are along the same orange/yellow spectrum, so I could definitely see this being very monitor dependent.

I'm making some progress on importing models to the game engine that I'm using.  These swords used to look blunt, but I changed some settings, and got the edge to appear.  The pommel geometry needs a little work.  It's not quite compatible with the settings that I'm using.  The shape is a little odd, anyway.  It looks like some kind of inflatable plastic pillow.  A disc, cylinder or sphere shape might be more suitable.

It's Unity.  I did everything but the skybox, ground and trees.  It's all prototype stuff right now, while I learn to write useful code, and make models that have decent topology.  I can get stuff to animate pretty well, and actions to be performed, but I want an Elder Scrolls style clothing/armor system, and that's still beyond my understanding.  The movie poster that I shooped a few pages back uses a model that is descended from the one in those pictures.

Japa is also using it.  I don't know what exactly for, but he's got a procedural system that generated a real road map, I think.  You might have seen it in the Rage thread.

In a different board, the concept of dwarves wearing skirts caused my brain too much anguish, so I made a quick and dirty pencil sketch to illustrate why dwarves shouldn't wear skirts.

The basic problem, is with their limb proportions: a midthigh skirt becomes a miniskirt, and a miniskirt becomes crotchless daisy dukes.

Observe: mid thigh skirts on dwarfette vs on uppity human:

Oh, well that advice was totally pointless then.
Guess you'll have to look around art supply stores or something.

If you're one of those mainstream cool kids, then you probably have a iPhone. There's a 3d artist's mannequin app available on that if you really want it.

Is that libtcod I spy? If you are using its inbuilt colors you might want to try desaturated green instead of the current one for land, although I am strongly bias towards grayer tones. Anyway what language are you working with? Visual studio means either C++ or C#, so I'm guessing C++?

Still good stuff! Will there be krakens?

MaxWhite: I'm lerping TCODColor::green with black, so yes, default green. I probably will swap the green color for darkerGreen as you suggested. The language is C++, because libtcod for C# sucks very hard. o.O

I'm not sure where this is going right now, even xD I think I'll put in moving the player ship to a clicked position next. I shudder to think of the part where I need to display only a bit of the map at a time or something.

I found lerping desaturatedGreen + darkerSepia to produce a great effect.

Here is a sample of something I made a while ago I should really start again now that I have more time
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ocean is Darkest Blue to Blue
Shallows are Blue to Lighter Azure
Beach is Lighter Amber to Desaturated Green
Land is Desaturated Green to Dark Sepia

Although it really depends on how you want your game to look. Still, use these as a guildline if you like, hope you achieve the effct you are going for! Also, don't sweat things like map scrolling and such, it isn't too hard in a roguelike.

What do you mean "perception of depth and surface"?  Like if you draw the model exactly as you see it on the screen, it won't look quite right? o_o  Could you explain this phenomenon? D:

First, I believe a disclaimer is in order: I've never drawn with a mannequin and would consider my own character drawing skills sub par at best.

With that out of the way: I meant that having an actual object in front of you gives you another axis of reference. 
Of course you can use images as reference, a lot of great, great artists do.

But the whole point of drawing from life is that you can pan/tilt/rotate around real objects and get a different feeling for their shape. Hence the 360 degree views commonly found on the commercial reference sites. :)

Just remember, an accurate definition of "drawing" is "dicking around with lines until it resembles something". That right there is my entire drawing style. Of course, when I was in middle school, it was dicking around with shapes.

Perhaps master the most basic of things, like cubes and such, and then work your way up? That might build confidence.

What exactly is scaring you about it? It's actually super chill, just gently work the pencil and let your imagination flow. Screw quality, i'm rather mediocre in the grand scheme of things, it's about having fun. Sometimes, fun is to do a quick and shitty doodle. Other times, it's about making an elaborate piece of art, as good as you possibly can. Point is, drawing is very much a "for teh lulz" thing, at least for me. Case in point:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Speaking of artistic quality alone, this guy has horribly distorted anatomy, a very stiff posture, crude linework and almost non-existing depth. That's all well and good, but he was really fun to draw. That last bit is the most important part, at least to me. Some people will find enjoyment in pursuing constant improvement, which is more of a secondary goal for me.

Also, as an addendum to what Slayerhero said, drawing loads and loads of stickmen can be surprisingly helpful. It helps you get a feel for how the pen(cil)/mouse will move in your hand, allowing you to get the lines you're looking for without erasing a million times. Plus, setting low goals is a good way to improve your confidence! c:

Post by: Vactor on June 18, 2013, 06:44:53 pm
The other thing regarding that, every time you draw, you fail to accurately represent what you're trying to draw on the paper.  But every time you do, you can reflect on why it is innaccurate, and the next time you sit down to draw you'll be able to try to improve the parts that were problematic.  Eventually you'll find a way to do things that works for you, and will be able to routinely draw hands or feet, or cloth folds, allowing you to move on to other more challenging things.

Just set the personal goal of drawing something every day. You'll eventually get desensitized. It also helps to suddenly get a strange obsession, with, say, as a complete hypothetical, cutebolds, but that might not work for everyone.

I'm not at all cut out to draw, but tried anyway. A year and a half later, and I can draw some nearly decent things.

Half an hour maybe, slightly more I think. It went random shapes vaguely similar to the idea I had in mind, mess it all up with the background by adding smoke and steam and whatnot, highlights and details come next and finally some more smoke and steam and shadow to tie it all together :)

Originally the ending was going to be much more conclusive, but at that point I was getting rather tired of this project. There was also going to be sound, but animation previews lag far too much to accurately tell where sounds start and stop.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
it's supposed to be an apple but it might look more like a cherry candy thing

or a blotch of colour

But anyways i found a new way to use the pressure sensitivity, which doesn't involve variable opacity (which generally looks bad in my hands). Namely, have it vary the colour from light to dark depending on how hard i press. It's a bit fiddly, but i like the end result of it.

Shook, you should try coloring with a bigger brush. It'll give a more natural look to the shading. Takes a bit of fiddling to get used to it, though.

Aww, don't say that. Every artist starts with something, like drawing shitty-looking stickmen at the corners of your assignment papers (that's how I got started, heh). Keep doing it consistently but (this is important) differently every time and you will improve.

I'll see if I can post something. I've been doing quite a bit of concept art and research on a webcomic I'm planning on doing, might be nice to get some feedback from you guys. C: 
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Shook on June 29, 2013, 01:28:33 pm
I actually started with a bigger brush and then went smaller, although perhaps i should start with an EVEN BIGGER brush for rough shading. It'll also make it easier on me. :U
Also, fiddling is what i do all the time!! In particular, fiddling with the tablet to get used to it. It's still a bit awkward, so until it stops getting awkward, i'm probably going to keep bombing you with sub-par drawings, hee hee. All in the name of HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME and also maybe improving. Fun is the primary goal for me, so yeah.

@Sky: Haha, i can't even count how many times i've said that myself. After having dicked around with drawing, i've come to the conclusion that anyone can learn to draw (EVEN ME, WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUWWWWWWWWWWWWW (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PHD4RB-IoA&t=22s)), it just takes time. If you just keep doing random funny doodles over the course of, say, a few months, you will see notable improvements. c:
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Jopax on June 29, 2013, 01:36:23 pm
Seconding what the Shook said. Everyone is an amateur at first, only with time do you see yourself improving. With art especially you'll se a painfully slow progress, even with focused studies. The trick is sticking with it long enough to see yourself improve and not suck. I've made great progress since I first started digital but I still feel incredibly inadequate and unskilled. Yet I continue to doodle and dabble and paint, not only because I want to improve but because it's damn fun to do.

And that's the most important thing about it I guess, it doesn't matter how much it sucks or how slowly you improve as long as you're having fun with it :D


Anyways, about the apple Shook. Since you're watching CTRLPaint already I suggest you check out the blending videos. They should make it look more natural and the tranistions should give away that it's a round object. Also the opacity is best left as a hard setting (in that it doesn't change with pressure), atleast until you get used to the tablet itself. Having to fiddle with the right pressure while also trying to nail the line isn't exactly the easiest of things at first.
Also about the brush size, blocking in colours is best done with as large a brush as possible since you don't want details or messyness, just a rough blotch of colour where you want it. Then you size down as you gradually work on details and other stuff.

Follow the path of the Shook. Looking back at his doodles, you can see that A) they start off not exactly the best, B) he's clearly having fun making them, and C) they very noticeably improve as you go down the line towards what he's drawing these days. That's probably the best possible course of action and result anyone could hope for.

That said, I still wish I could draw as well as Jopax.

The big robot dude might end up being an elite mook in a later game of mine, the super badly drawn human is just there for size comparison. Note that the game i'm thinking about will mostly have you fighting other human(oid)s and medium-sized creatures in melee. Big robot dude, although not tremendously bigger than a human, is a bona fide combat robot with heavy armor, an arm cannon for blasting and a claw hand for smashing and crushing. Basically a kind of foe that you'll either try to actively avoid or take on for the challenge, because being within range is just generally a very bad idea. Here, that means it shoots hard, hits hard and is very tough to take down, so much so that you WILL lose a slugfest with just one of them. I'm not wholly sure why, but i like the idea of having enemies that can defeat you on an individual basis if you don't keep your wits about. Possibly because it feels all the more badass to beat them, then. :U

It's amazing to be able to trace the light sources in a drawing.

@Shook: Hey, you even got fan-art! Yeah, getting used to the tablet is pretty hard at first, it's a whole new level of hand-eye coordination and lines tend to be squiggly. Also, the big robot dude brought some Speess Mareenss images to my mind, namely of the Terminator (http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/31/45566_md-Space%20Marines,%20Terminator%20Armor,%20Ultramarines,%20Warhammer%2040,000.JPG) kind. Claw hands are terribly underrated, but they're fit for badasses in hard sci-fi environments. Such a description fits a couple of mechas I'm pretty fond of, this (http://www.blister.jp/images-item-big/page-12052.jpg) and this (http://youtu.be/Q1ssrel4wnc?t=37s).

The direction looks OK, placement not so much. Left eye (right from his perspective) needs to be symmetrically placed with the right eye. Right now it's too far up and looks hideously mutated/shrunken (which it might not if the face were at an actual perspective, but based on the almost straight-on placement of the other features, it's not at all).

Here is the drawing I mentioned in the happy thread. Still trying to figure out how eyes that aren't quite facing sideways nor look towards the viewer are supposed to be drawn.

A few simple things that can help you with this:

-The cheek bone and brow should protrude a bit compared to the eye socket on the left side of the drawing.  Eyes are generally recessed from the the rest of the face a bit.  You won't always have skin visible between the eye and the edge of the face, don't be afraid of having the actual eyeball be part of the edge of your face.

-While the top half of the face is facing slightly to the left, the jaw is facing directly at the viewer.  Have the jaw turned slightly to the left as well.  Move the chin to the left a bit and show the jawline on the right side of the drawing

I concur, they're both useful and terrifying weapons. A simple claw is far more durable than complex construction that is a hand, and thus can be smashed into the face of someone without breaking. At the same time, it can also provide grabbing and crushing action, which, when paired with the overwhelming strength of a machine, is a scary notion indeed.

Post by: wierd on July 14, 2013, 04:40:01 pm
Some of the "advanced" character generation methods used by AD&D 2E need 12 D6 throws!  It's a trivial matter to extend the number of dice thrown for my program, due to how I structured it. The issue I would have the most difficulty with, would be keeping the output window readable with more thrown like that. 10 of each kind basically fills up the whole line as is.

This was a code-testing applet, to test out the die throw routine I cooked up, before inclusion into the automatic character generation applet.

The goal of the chargen applet is pretty straight-forward. It will have a starting form that has 6 buttons, for character generation methods 1 through 6, then sub forms for each of those to set all the attribute scores, screen for class candidacies, apply bonuses, and finally, generate a brand new character sheet ready for printing.

Character generation takes so damned long, so I thought I would make something to speed it up. (I dont like spending hours waiting for somebody to get it "just right". Clicking on "roll" a bunch of times until numbers they like come out is much faster.)

Why AD&D 2E, and not 3.5, or 4?  Because I like the relaxed ruleset of the older version, that's why, and I am in the midst of creating a campaign that uses it, for that very reason. (2E is before WotC got their grimy hentai tentacles into it. 2E worlds don.t have to fit in with the 'cannon' WotC planes of reality or total world view, since it predates it.) If somebody *really* wants a character generator for 3.5 or 4, I might be coaxed into making one, but not until after I do the 2E one.

The simple dice roller is done though. I don't have a place to upload it, or I would share. It's fully functional as-is.

Judging by the icon it's Visual Basic. Which isn't free. And, without meaning to offend wierd, it sucks. The only other GUI I have experience with is Delphi, which sucks a lot more.

Learning a new programming language is an effort. You will get a lot of value out of it by learning Python. Easy to use, versatile, and, though I haven't tried it yet, has many GUI Plug-Ins. For example gui2py looks like a good place to start.

Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: wierd on July 15, 2013, 10:44:12 am
Oh, no offense taken!

Visual Basic is the McDonalds of programming languages.  Slow, bloated, and filled with empty calories.

However, since this isn't mission critical, isn't for production, and all that fun stuff-- it works just fine.

It's like using a scripting language to do the same thing-- Essentially, the equivalent of Python calling GTK libs for a GUI on Linux.  It's bloated, carries around the weight of an interpreter (.NET on windows.. Blach), and some snobby programmers insist it isn't "Real Programming".  (Never mind that most of THOSE people are hypocrites anyway, since they dont program in straight assembler and instead make use of higher level abstracted  languages, like C, and some even lug around a whole virtual machine, like Java programmers!)

Just use the right tool for the job. If all you need is basically a calculator app, why lug around a java VM, or expend extra effort using C, and manually calling all the common controls libraries when you can just use VB, and get the crappy program you need in just an hour or so? (Likewise with a python script calling GTK or QT libs on linux.)

If I wanted this to "Run everywhere!" I would use Javascript, and make it a web app. There's nothing in that dice roller that needs something else, and it would be quite painless to port to Javascript. But, I didnt want to lug around a browser. :D  Javascript in a simple browser runs more places than the JVM these days (like say, my friend's ancient collection of Windows Mobile based pocket PCs, which CANT use modern JVMs, Or, in the built In Opera browser on a Wii), and is less resource hungry, but is slower. (though with modern browsers, that's questionable.)

I didnt need it to run everywhere-- I wanted it to run on a crappy windows netbook I have floating around here. It doesnt have to be fast, and it doesnt really NEED to be written in C.  VB was just fine for what it is, and what it does.

But you are right-- VB DOES suck.  It has all kinds of limitations and foibles, and produces software that reeks of being off the discount rack.  That's fine, that's what I wanted in this case. :D


Learning a programming language isn't so hard. Learning the vast collection of standardized libraries used in a particular architecture? THAT'S HARD.  Once you have seen about 3 kinds of calling convention, you can basically read anything. Except PERL. It's evil.

"Hello, is this freeformschooler? From the internet?"
"Yes hello! What can I do for you?"
"We saw your comic and thought, 'we really need a guy like that on board.'"
freeformschooler always knew this day would come, but he did not get too hyped up because it would look bad in a job interview. Instead he said:
"Thank you. Is this for the new Sonic and Zelda crossover fighting game?"
SEGA smiled. SEGA already knew this was the guy for the job. His brilliant ideas only solidified SEGA's assumptions. SEGA replied:
"Yes. Yes, freeformschooler, you will be designing the new Sonic and Zelda Bros Video Game. Welcome aboard."
All prepubescent video game fans simultaneously shed a single tear of joy. Later, freeformschooler would be promoted head of SEGA where he would invent such innovating titles as Puyo Puyo Mario, Shining Fiery Emblem Force and Sonic the Hedgehog All-stars Boxing.

Yes, I have been using PS (CS3) and for this particular piece a couple of brushes only, first was a large randomized forest brush to give the whole piece texture while blocking in general shapes and values, afterwards a variation of the standard round brush was used for detailing and the rest, finally another randomized cloud brush was used to add some atmosphere.

That just means that you should just draw more hands.  Nothing but hands.

Hands arent hard, despite what people may state to the contrary. Hands are just shapes, like any other. If you have difficulty with a certain kind of shape, then practice is what is called for.

Try making an abstract form out of NOTHING BUT hands! A certain scene from a certain horrible B movie comes to mind in fact.

Back when I played World of Warcraft, I did artwork of the characters I played in that game. I figured I'd round up the drawings of dwarves I've done from Tinypic and drop 'em here.

Now, I never have the intention of creating high art when I sit down to draw. In fact, "draw" is a generous term so I'll go with "doodle" instead. I tend to decide to doodle something when I don't have access to a basic artist's needs like non-mechanical pencils or a sketch pad, and will simply work with whatever materials are at hand. Also, I have no scanner. Also, when I decide to digitally color something, I only have an old version of Macromedia Flash to work with.

Haha, dude, i know that feeling so much. My doodles on paper actually have an acceptable level of smoothness, but come digital and it's like balrgabnrarlarbsl. Possibly has to do with the fact that there are fewer interfaces between you and the drawing on paper. That said though, erasing and refining is WAY quicker and easier on computer, since it takes a million years to do shading with a pencil. Also, super quick doodles on computer are way more visible than super quick doodles on paper. :U

I haven't finished this latest project I've started yet, and probably won't finish it for some time to come either, but I wanted to mention it anyway.

Out of curiosity, I have decided to convince DF to produce heightmap and feed it into a new world region in skyrim. This has been a rather bumpy and painful journey so far, but it is starting to bear some fruit.

Here's the tentative process I am using:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So far, the most I have been able to accomplish is getting tesannwyn to generate a rough terrain model from the hue converted heightmap data from DF.  I had to use 8bit palletized bitmap since I haven't got PS installed on the system I was working with yet. I will dig out the box tonight and fix that.  Turns out that just getting terrain data into the creation kit is a bear! Bethesda refuses to fix the heightmap editing features of the creation kit, claiming they are "legacy", and aren't really supported anymore anyway- the editor crashes the creation kit like an iranian terrorist on a major intercontinental flight.

Even the rough looking import from tesannwyn looks promising though.  Turns out that a "large" world from DF is about the same size (>4 quads! >128x128 cells!) As the main province of skyrim itself is!

River channels, flood plains and the like are clearly defined, and readily visible.

I think this will be a fun, if ambitious little project to keep me busy for awhile.

that is both disturbing and amusing at the same time

props good sir

@wierd: So wait, let me get this straight. You're taking DF-generated worlds and making them playable in Skyrim? Because that is an extremely noble and awesome endeavour. DF probably has the best randomly generated worlds i've yet to see, so i'm looking forward to seeing the fruits of your labour! c:

@Jopax: Dude that is terrifying. I keep expecting the... Thing to turn around and destroy my soul with a nightmarish visage. Nicely done! :P

Also i finally got around to photo'ing the 7 drawings/doodles in my sketchbook that have yet to be internetted, so...

Shook:

Yes.  DF can export a 2d graphical heightmap from legends mode. You can also export maps for vegetation density, water availablity, and biome designations.

Those 2d graphics, properly mangled and spoonfed into tesannwyn, will allow you to create a plugin for skyrim that has the ground with proper elevation data, and a big colorful texture painted on it to help you put trees and flowing water down.

"Large island"/"large region" produces a height map bitmap big enough to rival the world geometry of the main game. The crude elevation data I have gotten with improperly prepared input images has resulted in .esp files that are 22mb in size.

I want a good, smooth and proper terrain to work with, so I haven't done anything with the crude plugin I made except poke around inside it.

Ultimately, I want to walk around on the resulting geometry.  I have genned a particularly neat looking world with a very large and profound mountain lake that I think will be quite pleasant.

No problem! Thanks for the feedback!
Umm, the dwarfs are the result of me patch-working various tutorials and guides together combined with experimenting.
Currently I am just mucking about with clothing colours, this first group will be merchants and traders who have been called to arms (hence the variety of clothing colours).
The problem with the photos is that they don't capture the golds as they really are.

Anyways, I also paint Imperial Guard (you may have seen the Valkyrie blurred in the background), Blood Ravens, some Tyranids and a few Orks.

Dwafs are my first Fantasy Army and as far as I know they may be getting an update soon

Since this is "random" things you made thread...

I have gotten a fair bit of work in on a "vacation rental" townhouse model.

Bear in mind, this is a mockup. I intend to actually make real plans for it. As such, there are no furnishings and no textures. Also, warning: large images, small filesizes.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It is intended to be very small, in line with real townhouses.

Do the upstairs bedrooms have windows? It seems like roof windows would fit perfectly to the right of the closets, but I don't see any. And where will the beds go in those rooms? I fired up my profoundly professional design software (Paint) to visualize.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If so, I'd move the door to the left. It's more comfortable to walk into a room and not immedialty bump into the bed. And additionally to that, you'd receive some additional free space, marked gray. All just pointers, I'd like to hear your design decisions.

I assume you haven't inherited a plot of land, just doing some architecturing for fun, right? And we as DF players take fun proper seriously. Is the layout already final? Have you worked out your cardinal directions, supporting structures, foundation, beam orientation etc? Without that I wouldn't set the layout in stone yet.

I've read a great book titled along the lines of "So you wanna build your own house?" (in German, mind). Filled to the brim with useful information, much of which greatly affects the design process. You explicitely stated you wanna build small, what's your motivation for that? I assume saving building costs. There are a lot of factors besides size and thus material needs. I see you've deliberatly used as few window- and door-types as possible. That's a great thing to do!
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: wierd on August 02, 2013, 01:07:06 pm
The super teeny-tiny rooms upstairs have just enough room for a twin bed without being hit by the door. It is 6.5 feet (sorry, live in the US. About 2 meter?) distance from the wall with the entry door, to the wall with the drawer build-ins. The bed goes on the left when entering the room, so it goes something like this:

O============O
|(drawers)__(closet)|
|-------------|           |
|                           |
|-------------            |
|               |           |
|               |           |
| (bed)       |           |
|               |           |
|               |           |
|-------------| (Door) |
O=======O        O

It will be a tight squeeze with the bed, but it SHOULD fit.  No windows on 2 of the rooms. One room is privileged to get an actual window. The other two will have to have framed mirrors installed to combat claustrophobia. There really isnt room to "play" in those rooms. You aren't supposed to actually LIVE in this house, since it is a vacation rental. Week stay. That kind of thing. If there is bad weather, and kids need to play, there is the well lit hall just outside their rooms, the dining room downstairs, and the livingroom downstairs. (parents may not like the kids playing near the attic ladder area, even though there is room there, and a window.)

Yes, this is just for fun.  I like making little houses and other solid models from time to time to kill the monotony at work.

Next up: cabinetry for the kitchen and drawers to put in the drawer pulls.

As for "Why so small?", the answer is that "Small" is challenging, and because it better fits the theme, which I also picked for the challenge.

Townhouses like this one are usually packed elbows to assholes next to each other, so small and tall is simply the way they are made.  See for instance, Telluride Colorado:

(http://cdn.resize.flexmls.com/tel/800x600/true/20120121224656801306000000-o.jpg)

It is a ski resort town (amongst other things) nestled into a box canyon. Because it is inside a box canyon, realestate is at a premium, so the buildings are as tall and skinny as possible. Note all the townhouses in the background, and the same theme being carried over to the 3 unit condo in the foreground. Note how densely packed they are.

Drew some stupid unoriginal fanart sketch of some video game dude. Wow, how original, me. Goot jerb.

Spoiler: Krieg the Psycho from Borderlands 2 (click to show/hide)

I didn't feel like staring at a blank screen for a half-hour with the excuse of trying to think of something "original" to draw so I just drew that instead. It isn't even an original arrangement, just taken from a reference (http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2013/05/Krieg-trailer.jpg) off Google Images.

I'm not terribly proud of it because obviously it's not original or creative or my own frikkin idea or anything. It's also just a sketch. It's something, though, and it is a useful practice exercise with the tablet. Also used different tools this time around, like the marker or using the pen as well as different sized paint brushes for different line values. Experience get!

Also looking at it again his right eye isn't particularly distinctive compared to the left eye-patch thing. Eh, oh well. There's supposed to be an eye there, look for it or imagine it or something.

didn't feel like being all fancy and creative and shiz so instead I sketched from reference (http://images.wikia.com/foamipedia/images/3/32/Konata_Strikes_Your_Soul_With_Fear.jpg). Only neat thing about it is that all the lines were done using lineart layers in SAI, which means only using a thin as hell pen tool, which means going over lines multiple times to emphasize line thickness and stuff, which is basically how I draw on paper with mechanical pencils anyway. Used a marker tool for adding a monotone red color for slightly more solid shading.

Messy as a messy mess of messiness, but then again it's just a sketch anyway. Was fun to only use shades of red though.

I was trying to draw someone with a similar hand pose recently, and I learned something.  I can't use my own right hand as reference for right hand poses.  It ends up distorting the connection of the hand, arm and body.  There are also a lot of limits to the angles from which I can see my own body, even with a mirror.

I ended up erasing the reference based hand, and using one drawn from visualization.  The reference study did reveal the problems with the visualization based drawing, however, so it wasn't a wasted effort.

Details lacking: faces are not squished down at the bottom of a head. Right now he/she has a head that contains far less face than necessary (unless the head is extremely short and the hair has about as much volume as a head on its own.).

Post by: coolio678 on August 14, 2013, 09:18:01 pm
I did make the hair first (which was probably a mistake, in hindsight), so the hairline was probably too low and forced the other face stuffs into less real estate. Her face was even more squashed looking at one point, and I never was 100% happy with my fix. At least now I know how to fix it. :P

That's the output for a thing I'm writing for a forum game. It's basically GURPS, which means I can never distribute it (though I'm glad because my programming can induce cerebral haemorrhaging). This is the first time I've considered the output interesting enough to post about it because I stayed up until 1AM implementing damage, death and stunning.

Things done today:
-Fixed the flash-step glitch and the omega dodge glitch
-Implemented damage, death and stunning
-Fixed fighters gibbing each other with knives
-Tweaked stunning to actually work

Goals for tomorrow:
-Finish the All-out Attack function
-Make All-out Attacks and unbalanced weapons interfere with parrying like they're supposed to
-Tweak the target acquisition function so that the program supports more than two fighters
-Allow fighters to pick up dropped weapons

bro

You say you started like two days ago (assuming that you started close to your previous post where you say "never drawn before"). It takes longer than two days to get super good at drawing, and yet you're actually pretty good already! No need to get discouraged so quickly, i've cocked up more times than i can possibly count, so i've learned to just take these cockups and have as much fun with them as possible (or just try again later). The most important part, however, is to look at your potential mistakes and think "why is this wrong" or "how can i find out why it is wrong", not "this looks bad so i don't want to continue :c". With that said, it's important that you don't force yourself to draw, as it should be an enjoyable experience. If you don't feel for it now, then just take a break, nobody will hate you for it. If they do, then screw them, they're dicks, you're the artist.

Motivational speech aside, i quite like your style! The reason that the eyes might make you cringe is probably because you've drawn a hell of a death glare, with WIDE OPEN EYES. Eyes are actually really tricky little blighters, because they hold so much expression. If you don't mind me being frank, i think another reason for the soul-piercing stare is that the eyes don't quite match the rest of the face. The eyeballs themselves are happy and circular, whereas the rest of the face shows anger or spite. Such a face would usually come with narrowed eyes, or at least somewhat lowered eyelids, perhaps angled inwards like the eyebrows. QUICK EXAMPLE:

(http://i.imgur.com/4xQCuWC.png)

The shown eyes have the exact same structure, except that the rightmost pair has added eyelids (and a bit of removed outline). While i'm at it, also note that completely centered pupils give off a thousand-yard stare, so you may want to have them shifted a bit in towards each other if they're looking straight ahead. Apart from all that eyetalk, it's pretty good! Please do show more of your stuff, i'd like to see it. c:

Perhaps a liiiiiittle bit too cross-eyed, but it's definitely an improvement! c: (looking cross-eyed is also much more acceptable than the thousand-yard stare)
Also, lightly sketching stuff with a pencil as you're doing is highly recommended, it is EXTREMELY difficult to nail a proper outline from a blank canvas. I usually make use of this when i'm not just dicking around, because it makes an astronomical difference. Not only is it easier to start out lightly, it's also much more easy to correct things, and subsequently visualize the solid lines. It's like building a bridge before trying to cross a chasm!!

Partially correct, as i went that exact way. I would NOT be able to draw as well as i do now (relatively speaking, as i'm still not very high on the absolute scale) if i hadn't done so much pixelling beforehand. With that said, the transition wasn't easy at all. The hardest thing, i think, is to get used to the fact that you can't just fix and smooth out your lines like you can with pixel art, and every little jitter in your hand becomes visible on your drawing. On top of that, fixing those jitters can be painfully difficult if it is to go unnoticed.

Although i agree that the pixel art looks better, i'd say that it is a pretty good start, given how tricky it is. You using mouse or tablet? Because i know from experience that mousepainting is hella difficult. :P

Yup, using a mouse. And I definitely agree about the jitters, I had to do most of the lines about three times until I thought it looked good.

Trying to draw well using a mouse instead of a graphics tablet is like trying to do surgery with a brick instead of a scalpel.

Kobold looks good for being down via mouse by a guy used to doing pixel art.

I think it'd be better to compare a broadsword to a scalpel, because it's not ENTIRELY impossible, it's just hard. :U
Also, to begin with, drawing with a tablet feels odd, but once you get more used to it, it's infinitely quicker and easier than mousing around. I speak from experience, despite not being COMPLETELY used to tablet yet.

Drawing with a mouse isn't too bad with enough practice, if you don't mind zooming in to 8x or so (Fully do-able if you draw out the character with rough not-circle things first, on another layer), and the smooth stroke open helps iron out the jitters even more. (Unless you're using MSPaint and don't want to switch, in which case, good luck.)

I think the kobold needs shoulders, the stomach looks off both relative to where the side of the torso should be and where the pelvis is, and the back ear should probably be visible. Also, I think the skull would look alien, with the spine being towards the middle.

Style experimentation, posted because I never post pictures in this thread anymore. Looks sorta like a carving or a cave painting.

In my experience the tablet was always way easier than a mouse, even when first starting with the tablet. Mouse is still possible, but it's just way harder.

Then again, my mouse is a right handed mouse, and I'm left handed. That could have something to do with it, though I never thought of it 'til now. I've never noticed what hand I was using to draw w/ mouse, so I assume it was the right hand since I'm used to right-handed mouse stuff.

Mouse is still way harder for me, even as a righty. I don't use my tablet very often (more of a doodle on the back of  school work kind of guy myself), but it's way easier by comparison.

I suck at drawing with a mouse. I can make things that are more or less not painful to look at, but it takes HOURS. Which is why I'll stick to pen and pad until I actually get a tablet.

I like it, it's pretty simple, but it sounds neat. Now if only it was longer... :U

@GUNIN: I can confirm that notion, it is possible to draw acceptably with a mouse, it just takes a long time. Especially if you're awkward like me and are a right-handed guy using a mouse with your left hand, and everything resembling a pencil with your right hand. It didn't exactly make the shift from mouse to pen any easier. :P

Nice mountains. Thing is, this isn't finished because I need help with two things. One thing really, but I'm dividing it up into two bits.
1. Jungle in the distance: I want jungle on those faraway plains there. How do I do that without having to delicately sketch every tree in miniature?
2. Jungle in the foreground. I want jungle to slightly block out the view of the mountains. How do I do this without it looking like crap?

Try a messy dual brush with some angle jitter. Lighter green on top and darker green in the back. You'll still have to touch it up but it might give a nice foundation to work from.

Right... it looked very painterly on my phone, didn't catch the mspaintness(?) Pixely stuff like that is all blood, sweat and tears. So suck it up and pixel in some jungle. ;)

How would you do a closer view of some rough grass? Just do that?

It's taken a while, but I think I've got a goblin aesthetic that I'm mostly satisfied with.  I was trying to get something recognizable, but without the D&D look, or the Green Goblin maniacal grin.  This is sort of a compromise of realism and fantasy imagery.  The color is there mostly for clarity.

Step 1: Learn how to make magma flows.
Step 2: Cover it all up with clouds (http://i.imgur.com/rlBAyHf.jpg).

It's been a silly day.

EDIT: So I'm trying to get some thunderstorms going in those clouds and give them some depth so they look like weather instead of just haze. Any tips on how to do this? Tutorials* are notoriously lacking, and futzing about with layer styles and filters has thus far yielded nothing but crap.

*There are tons on making lightning effects, but they tend to rely on difference clouds and assume you're viewing a strike from ground-level. I can get something vaguely workable, but the bolts have a tendency to loop into circles. I'd also prefer not to have to hand-paint each fork, but whatever I can get I suppose. There's also nothing I've been able to find on the cloud texture front.

Star generator.

Operational.

I hooked up a simplex noise generator to an RNG, so the noise value generated by the location determines the likelyhood of a star being generated. Makes really nice clusters that have denser cores and a few outlying stars.

It does have a mind of it's own though. I have no input into the shapes of the clusters besides their average size. But overall it seems to be working pretty well. I might even keep the debug display as a minimap.

That sentence makes me feel all fuzzy inside. Not because of technical reasons. Just the certainty that there are problems out there which can be solved by hooking up a noise generator to an RNG.

That's quite flattering, thank you :D

Anywho, another doodle, first piece to come out of CS6, could have touched it up a bit more but was too annoyed with my inability to remember which of my many brush packs holds the brushes I'm used to, so I just called it done after a while of sifting trough countless packs to no avail.

Shucks you guys, stop that, I'm being serious, getting to a level where your doodles are good isn't hard, it just takes time, getting beyond that takes a buttload of effort and time, something I've been short on lately.

Anyways, here's my last piece in CS6, hopefully sometimes in the future It'll work properly, until then, it's back to CS3 :C

That cool guy i posted up there took maybe 10-15 minutes to scratch down, whereas it'd probably take FAR longer if i were to try painting him prettily. On the plus side, i actually really like that kind of gritty sketchy look, so i'm actually satisfied with such a quick thing. c:

This seems like a decent place to ask a question (especially since I have nothing worthy of the engraver's guild). Do you guys feel that a tablet would enhance, benefit from, or detract from developing pencil & paper skills? I've thought about buying one during a holiday sale, but about $60 USD would be my limit, if that helps.

Oh lawd, do i sense some Andrew Loomis going on here? ;)
Looking pretty good bro, keep at it! Also, regarding tablets, i've found that although it feels different from pencil and paper, it is very much the same skills you're applying. Thus can you reasonably expect to improve your paper skills with a tablet, and your tablet skills with paper. It'll take some getting used to, but it's totally worth it.

As for a tablet in the $60 range, something like the Wacom Bamboo is definitely around that, and it's pretty solid for its price. The only thing about mine that annoys me is that it connects double-clicks with a line, so i can't do super fast scratchy lines with it (although this problem can be minimized), but other than that it's got pretty much everything you'll need.

From my expirience nothing can replace pen&paper for that essential expirience, even if you do want to go fully digital, you can't go without the basics. While it's not a terrible idea I'd certainly continue doing classical drawings on paper, along with digital (which imho is more geared towards painting than actual drawings).

Also I think I'm going to be getting one of those cheaper Intuos tablets by the end of the year, the current one is slowly giving up on me so it'll be nice to have an alternative.

Anyways, another piece, this time a study of sorts, since my landscapes and clouds are somewhat lacking in certain areas, this was pretty damn fun and relaxing to do:

Speaking of clouds, I think I'm finally getting clouds (http://i.imgur.com/EfAZZwu.jpg) that look like clouds, although I've layered so many things on here that the place looks too uniform, so I'll have to go in and shake things up.

I'd like to chime in about improving over the years. Recently, I decided to redraw Uzin Heatboulders, a deity that Dwarf Fortress' RNG spat out at me. I'm not quite done with this one, but it's vastly better than the last drawing, which was about a year and a half(?) ago (mainly due to attempting human proportions, but not faces. faces aren't fun.)

I've got a Wacom Bamboo. Not as fancy as the intuos, as it's got 1/2 the sensitivity and only two buttons (on the pen) but it works real well for around $80.

Thanks for all the advice, folks! I'll always use pencil & paper because they're portable, but not having to bother with a dying scanner has its own appeal. I'll keep an eye on the bamboo tablets; they're exactly what I was looking for.

I think this is the only thread that I still follow closely.  It's fun to see what everyone is doing. :3


About drawing with tablets:   

The resolution is probably going to be much lower than with physical media.   In order to adjust, I've found that using lower opacity on the brush, as well as adjusting the size, can keep the strokes looking like strokes, instead of blotches.  Line weight seems to become much more important to conscious of.  In physical media, controlling line weight is more intuitive, and more motor skill based.  Digital line weight has to be controlled very deliberately, by using the menu or hot keys. 

In GIMP and Photoshop, "[" and "]" will adjust brush size.  On a 2k by 2k image, I've been using a size 7 brush for my main lines, and finer lines are between 3 and 5.  I use the finer ones for subtle details, texture, or shadows.


I've been working on another design in the same file as my previous one.  I haven't settled on some things, like how to deal with Heraldry in their fantasy setting, which has many historic aesthetics, but isn't historically based.  Uniforms seem to have been non-existent during the middle ages, and I'm trying to figure out the extent to which I want them to exist in this setting.

Okay, so, fooling around with isometric spriting. Sort of doing it for a game project that I had in my head, but made it mostly as a spriting exercise.

(http://i.imgur.com/PiJyEig.png) (http://i.imgur.com/fhNvJ2V.png)

Problems thus far:
1: It's kinda hard to make an area seem dark. There are varying shades here (Not much shading on the character however) with the darkest being (Obviously) total darkness. However, I tried doing a backdrop and it doesn't work well with tiles. Should I just get rid of the backdrop or try something else with it?
2: It's difficult to make good tiles that interlock. Any suggestions?

Unrelated problem: I have a problem with making feminine characters look... feminine.  I think I did an okay job with this one, but since she's a little girl and a lot of children are rather ambiguous in terms of gender without immediate identifiers like clothing. Any tips on spriting/drawing females?

Post by: Ogdibus on September 19, 2013, 11:53:09 am
If she's over 9, this might work:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If she's younger, you might want to make her a few pixels shorter, instead.  Try to reduce the arms/body and the legs by the same amount.

At that resolution, you might also consider working without outlines.  Doing an image search for childrens' clothes might help you get some ideas for gendered clothing, which should make up for the lack of gender dimorphism in children.  Even for older children and adults, clothing is made to fit differently between genders.  Things like shirt buttons and belts also overlap differently.  Female clothing is right over left, but male is left over right.

Post by: Furtuka on September 19, 2013, 12:58:17 pm
I'd say she needs shortening in both body and legs. The bottom of the shirt I think needs editing because it makes it hard to tell what perspective shes being viewed from. Also make head rounder somehow?

I don't have good experience with changing saturation to brightness. Here is an awesome tutorial for pixel art shades, taking the "with brightness the hue should change a bit" approach.

Ever wondered just how big the planets are that dwarf fortress generates?

I did some math today.  Turns out, they are 1/60.75 the size of the earth, when the estimate of 1 square meter is given for 1 play tile in fortress/adv mode, and when more or less riggorously examined for the degree of insolation using the temperature data from legends mode as an analogue.

Wondered how big a large region is compared to the planet? Approximately 1/8 total surface.

Here's what it kinda sorta looks like, forcibly mapped onto an appropriately scaled sphere.

Wondered how big a large region is compared to the planet? Approximately 1/8 total surface.

Here's what it kinda sorta looks like, forcibly mapped onto an appropriately scaled sphere.

Wow. That's big. I did some maths a while ago and got the result that a large DF map was roughly the size of england, which seemed right-ish. I trust your maths more. That's cool.

Well, given that the DF planets work out to being 1:60.75 scale that of the earth, based on the wildly smaller sphere radius I computed for all the other data being fed in, it being about the size of England is probably about right.  The earth is amost 61 times bigger!

Next up on the list of todos, is to derive what kind of star the system needs, and how far away it is.

I thought those were his lips... but NO this isn't a standard dorf. He's holding a wooden mug. As we all know, only stone mugs are useful, only for selling to traders. Unless this is an off-duty axedwarf hauling a wooden mug from the siezed elven caravan, I'd say this is a pretty special occasion.

Hehe. I say the same to people with mad art skills. I mean, I do design work, (http://i.imgur.com/LCVdZ4Ul.png) but can't freehand anything for crap. Hence why I'm terrified about doing the eyes.

I tried to sketch the eyes a few times. It always came out miserable. I just can't do it.

But... then I got an idea. Picked up a knife, masked the eye area, and cut out the eyes. I can draw freehand great... but only with a blade.

P.S. This turned out to be a rather large text wall, but you did ask for enlightening ;p

Get started in terms of... what exactly? Like, building stuff in general? I started when I was really young, tinkering with old bits n' pieces of whatever. My uncle and grandfather were both contractors, their garages were heavens for making stuff. 50-odd years of collected tools, materials, and other stuff. Spent days in there building things.

Practice, practice, practice. I involved myself with everything I could get my hands on. Metalworking & welding, woodcrafting, and later on, CNC equipment of all sorts. I was in robotics programs throughout middle and high school. Those helped. I tend to believe that I'm not a super-super-good craftsman, but I have such a huge range of experience with materials & methods that I can make just about anything. It's something that one builds up over time. A stunning feel for spatial relationships[1] (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Attributes#Spatial_Sense) helps.

Mental tricks... I think the biggest one is forethought. Mental prototyping. (I'm particularly good at this one thanks to some a good range of mental illness & what has been described as 'savantism'; my head is just one big prototyping simulator - I'm always thinking about stuff whether I want to or not.). It takes time to build up a sense of what works and what doesn't, but when making something that hasn't ever been made before (i.e. all the custom work I do), it's necessary.

Also, you are only as good a craftsman as your quality tolerance. At one point, if something didn't come together perfectly square or level, I'd shrug it off and keep working. But now, I'd do it again. And again, until it's right. When I was painting the staff head, one side was a tiny bit rough. It could be fine, but it wasn't. I filled it and smoothed it with a layer of spackle, and painted over it again.

I hope some of that helps. If you ever need advice on a specific project or anything, feel free to ping me.

Also, volcanoes on a flying continent? BAH. It's a fantasy setting, I say! At least, that's the reasoning I've been given, and I'm hard pressed to argue. Probably just permanent portals to the elemental planes of earth and fire or something are responsible.

I don't see that as much of a problem, considering viola sounds too much like violin, violin sounds too much like viola.

Considering there are already a bunch of names for this member of the viol family (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bass), I propose we just shoot for consistency and call it a violonbass.

I can make a few sentences and recently learned how to use the perfekt past tense, but I think Ace is speaking Dutch because that does not look like German.

Here is my first full attempt at an organic model. I'm posting it incomplete because I  probably won't pick it up again after over a month of not touching it. Next time I'll probably just heavily modify a (fully free) human model. It's easier than hands. Or figuring out how to rig a shoulder joint. Everything else rigged acceptably.

Remember: ellipsoids are magic, especially if you only have a basic grasp of anatomy, would rather work on something already existing than make something from scratch, and find modifying individual vertices to be cathartic.

I made this guy about 10 years ago (http://fmtris.deviantart.com/art/Explorer-405097553) while staying at my friend's house; he liked it, and wanted to paint it, so I let him keep it.  (I am said friend from the description.)

I actually miss sculpting, since I haven't really done it in any really serious capacity in a VERY long time. Medium is just so expensive, and time is precious. That and I dont think I would know what to sculpt anyway.

This guy was made as kind of a joke/fun activity, where my friend and I were making fun of certain kinds of anthro-art that have outrageous body proportions for... certain anatomical features.  Amusingly, this guy is "Correct", but you cant see it in the images. I was quite discrete. :D --Basically an "I can do better than THAT!", "OK, Prove it!" type thing.

Yeah yeah, he's made of sculpy, and not exactly highest quality. Again, "fun activity". ;) I literally made him out of random stuff. His armature is made of tinfoil, wrapped in kleenex, then mummy wrapped with sewing thread. Seriously.

Kinda. Using a mouse, but Photoshop handles all the grunt work re: shading and lighting. It's some bizarre middle ground between using a 3D rendering program and doing an actual painting, with far less practice required than either of those.

Pose/general anatomy is just bizarre... looks like something you'd see on devart? Keep practicing!

Here's my first, scrapped-midway attempt at something cool for a game: http://i.imgur.com/YdBYKkm.png The reason I scrapped it and started fresh was the game honestly wasn't suited for jumping/timing puzzles like you'd find in this level.

Drawn because Cript mentioned a monolith in the IRC and then my mind snowballed from there and to octolith, because octo is a funnier prefix than mono. And then... It was irresistable. I also botched the perspective pretty badly, but i'm past the point of caring about that now.

also another doodly thing but this time with a demon

It neatly displays the fairly large difference between my two most prominent drawing doodling styles. Also i have no idea why my brain wants demons to look draconic like that, but it does. Possibly because i want to emphasize how inhuman they are??

So I need some help with something I'm working on. In 3ds Max 2012, when I render the scene while close to anything with a bump map it gets a weird pale sheen. It's weird because the textures work well from a distance.

Looks like too much specular light.  Tweak your lighting setup or material properties to reduce it (sorry I can't be more specific, I use Blender).

A copper and nickel mokume gane pendant. It's made by 'sweating' the two metals together in the forge.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
After the stack of metal is brazed together it's then flattened, and then patterns are carved or drilled through the layers and flattened again. Folding the billet or twisting it can also produce different patterns.
The biggest problem with mokume is that the layers will delaminate is worked to cold, or if it just hates you.

A coal forge will probably cost you around $50 if you're willing to construct it yourself. Mine is made out of a semi break-drum, a small grill at the bottom, a few plumbing parts and an automotive heater fan. I use anthracite which runs me about $8 for a 50lb bag.

The raw materials for mokume can be virtually anything, copper and iron are a big nono though, since they are reactive to each other but pretty much every other nonferrous metal is good even more exotic metals such as titanium or blue bronze (good luck finding any). Some metals also require very precise environments for them to bond making some of the more fanciful combinations impossible without something like a vacuum sealed induction forge, like aluminum. If you plan on making any in a coal forge fluxing the edges is probably a good idea, not the center as that might trap some flux when you hammer.

more mokume gane for your viewing pleasure (these were made with a 3 to 1 ratio of pre-1982 pennies to nickels)

It depends on what I'm doing, lots of small stuff lets me run the forge cooler, but if i'm forge welding or working with something larger than an inch I use much more. I'd say a bag on average gives me about 24 hours worth of forge time, a propane tank (like the kind used with a grill) gives me about 10. Both are useful for different things.

Also, fancy thing i've discovered about my own artings: If i draw the eyes first, the rest of the head comes MUCH easier. I did that with this guy; drew the visible eye first, and then i could just like immediately visualize the rest of the head and draw it without doing any construction. It also went unusually well compared to most other things i draw without constructing.

For context, before I begin posting here again, and hopefully more frequently: From the HAPPY thread in GD.
Quote from: Itnetlolor on November 13, 2013, 11:10:43 pm
Finally working up some motivation to do some random art projects again for art's sake. Just finished modeling at least one of the ships (A kunai (one of many bladeships) converted into a helldrop ship (mostly sub-orbital drops); imagine, if you will, a kunai the size of a car that uses gravity and a parachute (and some basic elevators and rudders, and blade-tip ailerons, to aim and punch through buildings or long stretches of land (taking out cars, aircraft and any other poor sap that's in their way at high velocity, and not being the lightest thing to get hit by while at it; somewhat dense to maximize effect, and to provide as much safety to the passenger as possible.), and a trooper is inside pre-armed to take on their mission. They also usually come in groups (from 4-32 of them at the same time; full deployment of 32 from Arrow dropcraft (double as controller ships for the kunai teams; full load of 16 kunai per arrow)) to tackle a mission head-on and by surprise, doing as much damage on the way in as possible before beginning). Ought to make good for practicing texturing, due to being a small and lo-poly design and small profile.

Spoiler: Reference image (click to show/hide)

Gonna find my sketchpads and look through them again to see what else I can work on, and maybe start adding to them again. Last time I seriously drew anything was about 4-5 years ago. Last actual attempt at 3D modeling were the ships I showed a month or two ago (last worked on a few months before then before the hard drive borked).


EDIT:
Spoiler: Here's some renderings (click to show/hide)
They may be small and cheap, but they're not to be underestimated. Oh, and the passenger is usually standing while they're in freefall, and lying down like a luge if/when they land horizontally (commonly land vertically, but horizontal is safer shock-wise for the passenger, though less accurate/direct), plowing through fields of troops, cutting them to their knee-equivalents, then popping off the door and sometimes using it like a shield, or the kunai for cover, and firing upon anyone and anything in their surroundings with a full-auto weapon or a grenade launcher of sorts.

Finally found a good tutorial on how to texture in Blender (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wgVpwf_bCc). As I promised in the HAPPY thread, I decided to practice on my Aviar-Kai Kunai.

Right now, the texturing job looks like crap (A- I just started, B- I'm getting the basics mapped out before I decide to go nuts on it (Paint.NET right now, Photoshop will come when the nitty-gritty comes to play), C- Now that I have a good feel for what to do, I think I can start practicing a new skill during my free time; or invest in an official class to cement it in place). Well, for crap, it doesn't look bad for a first crack at it, so more like a polished ball of crap. It's not the best it could be, but it's still amazingly shiny for what it's worth; especially for a very first actual attempt (now that I know how to do it properly).

Spoiler: Not rendered yet. This is a direct screencap from the WIP in Blender. Grid is staying for reference (layer overlay in the WIP image applied, flattened) (click to show/hide)

Send one of these through a field of cattle, and you've got a slaughterhouse for a good few hundred meters. Or put one through a tall building, and they've got a new sunroof, or elevator shaft to work on. And in case you're wondering, the blue are windows for the passenger to look out of, at eye-level, and below to see where they're headed at foot-level. The red is a placeholder emblem of the faction that owns it.

Oh, if you don't mind me asking, where do you get your metal? Is it some sort of online supplier or is it a local business?
For mild steel you would have to be insane to purchase online. I normally go to junkyards, scrapyards, or just find my mild steel laying about, it's almost everywhere people are. For most of my tool steel I also go to the scrapyard, axles and tension bars are good for most things. Sometimes I buy O-1 and W-1 online if someone wants a really nice knife.

Remember metal is everywhere and if given enough time I can rend a 2" thick bar into 1/8".

Is there any particular reason you use anthracite? IIRC that's a hard coal, and as such doesn't coke well. I use bituminous because it does coke, which means as it burns, the impurities are released as smoke, and what you are left with is a light, brittle lump of almost pure carbon. It reflects heat really well, and burns clean, after all the sulfur and such has been burnt out.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Steeled on November 21, 2013, 09:15:37 pm
It's cheap and it's all I can find in my area. It does burn hotter than bituminous coal, you can still forge weld with it, and because it doesn't coke as well the coal (I use pea coal) stays in constant contact with the metal heating it up faster.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: kisame12794 on November 21, 2013, 09:42:14 pm
Ah. I got lucky and was able to order it through my local hardware store, though I do have to order enough to make it worth their while. And be aware that when the metal is in contact with the coal, it is absorbing some of the impurities in the coal. The same is also true of coke, but the effect is lessened by having most of them burnt out by that point. All in all, it's probably not going to affect your products all that much, aside from everything being just a little more brittle than normal.

Rather than a second attempt in as many days at modeling a dinosaur head without starting from mashing spheres together, I decided to make another attempt at a human-like head ...

Also, regarding shadows, it's generally agreed upon to be a good practice to both desaturate the shadow somewhat and shift it towards a different colour. I personally use blue most of the time, since things being outside under a blue sky tend to have slightly bluish shadows.

Yes, it is an elf/orc. I tried a bigger jaw, but it looked sillier and had to be reverted. I'll try to remember to desaturate shadows. (I mostly use blue shadows because my lights are usually orangeish.)

Well, coilsprings are meant to be tough, not hard. They are meant to take stretching, and in the case of vehicle springs, meant to take the stresses of having a couple tons of metal bouncing on you. So what that means for the knife is it's going to be hard to break, but it's not going to hold much of an edge for long.

The coilspring i made it out of was either 1090 or 5160, and 5160 is perfectly fine for knives. I'd prefer knives to bend than to explode into razor sharp pieces of death.

I've also been going over a few different ideas for projects. One was a traditionally made chest, made mostly from 3/4" square bar and 1.5"x1/4 stock, mostly riveted. That would require about a hundred rivets, I think the total came to 93.
A much simpler design would be my other project, a small jewelry box with a latch and lock. It has a very animistic look to it, at least from my concept drawings. best yet instead of having over 200 different pieces it would have about 20, it would also be about 100lbs lighter.

I came up with a great story idea. "2013: Russian Antics in Review".

Vladimir Putin was just an average mild mannered shirtless judoka de facto dictator. That all changed when he was struck by a fragment of the Chelyabinsk meteor made of the exotic element russium. He became a superhero known only as Medved, and now journeys across Glorious Mother Russia with his sidekick The Leaker (Edward Snowden), jailing gays, confiscating Syria's chemical weapons, and failing to stop 737s from crashing.

SHARKTOPUS

Oh man Jopax, you have delivered once again! I find it awesome how much definition your scratchy doodles have, when i do such things they just end up looking like a bunch of tangled up yarn. Also, that last drawing even emulates a cameraman who didn't manage to hold the camera horizontal! :U

Also regarding thicker lines and more confident strokes... Well, thing is, my accuracy with bold strokes is approaching zero, and my patience isn't great enough to retry the same bit of a line 50 times just to get it right. So, i introduce to you the EEGULL, first drawn by hand as confidently as i could...

(http://i.imgur.com/xoHEoHQ.png)

And secondly via pen tool:

(http://i.imgur.com/Pv1ymfg.png)

On one hand, i like the second one better because of the clean lines, but on the other, i like the first one better because it looks like it isn't made by a machine. DECISIONS! But how people get legitimately smooth lines all the way through a drawing is beyond me. If i try to take it slowly (which works fine on paper), the line kind of veers and wobbles all over the place. If i do it like SWOOSH then it just misses the mark, albeit fairly smoothly. Basically, my conundrum is this:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Fast looks smooth, but misses the mark. Slow has better accuracy, but suddenly wobbles all over the place and looks nervous as fuck. I think it might have to do with how i actually draw on the tablet though, i like to rest my hand on it. Perhaps that's not such a great idea, because my sweaty meathand tends to suddenly snag hold of the tablet and interrupt the line. Perhaps i also need to practice more "don't look at the paper"-drawing, because my hand-eye coordination isn't all that great when it comes to drawing.

Post by: Nirur Torir on November 30, 2013, 09:20:01 pm
I mostly get cleanish lines by zooming in as far as I can while still seeing where I need to draw the line and using ctrl-z a few times if it's way off. If needed, I'll box-select then delete particularly sloppy connections to redo them at a higher zoom, then even out any close-but-off connections with a soft eraser. By now, I'm practiced enough that I mostly only need to zoom and use light undos for fairly nice looking lines, especially if I remember to work large enough to size the image down afterwards.

It helps that I'm OCD and, since I started drawing, have been of the opinion that my brush strokes shouldn't be visible. BEEP BEEP THE FILTHY MEATBAGS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE INTERNET BY FORCE OF SPAM AND SUPERIOR CUTEBOLDERY.

Also, I feel I should point out that your eagle's neck looks flat with the border triangle-line being straight. (And don't make those with the pen tool, unless you spend too much time messing with anchors you get triangles that don't look like soft. They'll look spiky. My doctor advised against petting spiky bald eagles .. Of course, my lawyer advised against petting bald eagles in general.)

Anyway, since I'm still somewhat tired and watching something interesting on modelling in Maya (which seems damn awesome, will have to play around with that soon).

The gist of it was, wobbly lines are most probably a hardware/software issue, I doubt your hand shakes that much (since I had the same problem with my tablet). Innacurate swooshing curves can be remedied by practicing accuracy, mainly setting yourself 2 or more points on a paper and trying to connect them with a quick, gestural curve. After doing many of these (they're boring and repetitive, but neccessary since it's so far the only way to develop muscle memory) you'll have accurate, swooshy curves.
Also you can try working in higher resolutions with smoother brushes which, when downsized should give cleaner lines. Or you could try with selection tools, which requires some more accuracy but it's hard to top it when it comes to clean lines.

My hands are actually pretty clumsy, just recently i managed to knock over two shot glasses within two minutes of each other. It's also why i rarely play sniper roles. :U
Practicing accuracy like that seems like a nice idea though, and something i can do to cool down every night. Just like 5 minutes of that, then bedding time. Over time, i'm sure it'll add up, along with my usual "doodle things because it's fun" practice.

The general locations and looks of all the land and islands really look like the real world. Especially where Europe and northern Africa would lie.

Looks pretty good, all in all, and attached flavors like the compass rose and the scale work as a great boon (helping a lot while reading the map) but there's still some room for improvement.
Recently I read this piece  (http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/12/fantasy-maps-cartography-tips-jonatha-roberts-game-of-thrones/#slideid-360711)and has a lot of advice for young fantasy and/or tabletop mapmakers.

Those frontiers seem to be a bit arbitrary, are all those nation-states? Borders between the Khazard and the Qin-Shing look great, as they're based on rivers, mountains and defensible positions, and the Keiringurdy South Utini frontiers look plausible as well. From a simple glance, there's no way to determinate climate or things like that, there are no inner lakes at sight, nor valleys or clustered mountains. Unless I'm overlooking something crucial in your campaign world, which could be shaped like an all-desert wasteland (which would tell why most cities are laid upon rivers and coastlines). I'm just rambling these last lines, by the way.

Some cities also look a bit far apart from themselves. That could work on Amitria, but maybe Etrona should be a bit denser on it's demography, judging by how many nations are sharing the same place. European countries, for their most part, have a lot of cities scattered in small areas.


Hope your game turns out to be great.

That is spiffy as hell.

Question! Is Photoshop an option for you? There's a few shiny features you could make use of to put some polish on the landscape (mostly elevation, if you use the Saderan (http://www.cartographersguild.com/attachments/tutorials-how/19894d1262251614-%5Baward-winner%5D-saderan-%96-tutorial-saderan_tutorial_v103.pdf) strategy, which I'm obliged to endorse at every mapmaking event). I'd recommend CS2, since it's freely available now.

Adobe stopped supporting CS2 and provided serial numbers that will always work for those products (without activation). That was in jan, though, so no telling what it's like now.

This should work, once you create an account. (https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads)

If you prefer not to create an account, there are some other places that are hosting the files that you can find pretty easily through google, which have been up for a while, but I'll not link them in case the alternate hosting is not approved by Adobe. That could still be piracy, I suppose.

A touch more playing around. now using the same noise map for sea and land so it fits a touch better. But regardless, today i've gone from never having done imaging before to being able to quickly make relatively decent maps. i am happy with this.

Heh, funny I come in here and others are sharing maps recently too. I just made one and then fancied it up by following a tutorial from a member of the Cartographers Guild forums. I made a few mistakes along the way, most notably with the mountains - not sure exactly how and where it went wrong, though - but it turned out acceptable anyway, IMO.

Not sure what I want to do with it yet. I may end up adding locations of cities, towns, castles, whathaveyou and mark off national borders if I do anything more with this. I have been wanting to start up a Fantasy web serial for a few weeks now and I've also considered perhaps doing a forum game of some sort with some of the things I've been working on. Not sure yet.

At any rate, say hello to the world of Mythis:

Well, what do you know! It almost looks like an crappy actual video game!

Years of derping around with programming and animating and whatnot has finally led to this: a reasonably well-programmed game with crappy graphics. I really need to get better at texturing, but that'll come in time. And with tutorials. Those help.

Anyway, that's a picture from a game I'm working on with the working title of 'Medieval Ghostbusters'. Naturally, the demo level has a Victorian aesthetic to further confuse the time-frame of the game.

After stumbling on this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jfU7pw76ZE) and having been musically deprived for the last two weeks(I was at a friend's place for the holidays), I got some dust off my cheap keyboard and decided to cover/accompany it. I like coming up with my own music or making accompanying tracks for existing songs but I'm not that great at actually playing instruments so I had to settle for a humble "good enough" after failing to record anything I was happy with for hours. I had to keep it simple since I had to be able to play it.

Hey guys, just popping in here to see if I could request something from all you artsy folks.
This isn't anything I plan on using for anything*, and is more or less just something I really want to see.

Anywho, I've been throwing the idea of a powerful female protagonist for a story I want to write but probably never will.

Her features should be something like this:
Long, white hair. Perhaps with portions of it stained with blood.
White/Silvery eyes.
Average height for a normal human female.
She needs to be an angel, so wings. (And they gotta be glorious.)
Somewhat muscular, whatever would be appropriate for a soldier of sorts.
Face should be a little bit round. Not fat-type round though, more of just a roundish jaw.
She should have an expression composed of sadness mixed with emotional deadness.

I want her to be clad in some pretty majestic, high-fantasy, white, angelic type armor. Nothing like gold trim, though. Also, nothing TOO ridiculously huge. Perhaps covered in some blood as well.
She should have two large, curved swords, either in her hands, on her back, or on her sides. Bloody, of course.

Basically, the character I'm describing comes from a quick story I made up for one of my friends on Facebook when they asked me to.
The character I described, who I'm calling Leia, for now, is the Commander of the Sylphian Military, with the Sylphians being the angels of the world I'm playing with at the moment.

As for the general art style, anything goes. I would prefer something really... Artsy? I guess?
Something that looks like it was done with Pastels, I think, is what I mean, but again, anything will work.

All artists who take my challenge will be awarded cookies.

Also, sorry if this is the wrong place to go for asking for art to be done, I admittedly didn't look that hard for a thread of the sort.

*Currently, anyway; I'll let whoever know/ask for permission if I ever use the graphic for anything.

For months, I've been dreading trying to model/rig/pose a kobold head in Blender. Today I found myself strangely uninhibited (and procrastinating on several more pressing projects), so I Blendered for a few hours. Most would call it blundering. Horrifying blundering due to poorly abusing mirror and trying to pretend that eyelids are eyebrows. Do not be like me. Eyelids are not eyebrows, and mirror should not be used when rotating armatures like that.

In order, the emotions are "happy," "angry," and "fearful." It is difficult to convey happiness on a muzzled creature's head in 3D. No ears or neck because then I would have delayed everything else I just did for another few months, and necks are overrated anyway.

I build a folding table for the living room of my shared flat. Stuttgart is a city where space is sparse, especially in our flat. So when the table isn't needed, it can be folded and stored under the couch. The architect living with me helped me with the design. I like how it turned out, though I was wishing for guided tools or at least a proper working place at least a dozen times. :P

Particularly, I'm pleased with my progress on the hands. His right hand, mostly. The left one sucks, but it's still better than most hands I've drawn. I'm kind of surprised that I'm more comfortable with the three fingered look, since I was pretty adamant about practicing with four fingers until now and it looks so much better.

To make my images more versatile for resizing I started drawing larger and with thicker lines, along with maxing out the hardness. Not sure you can see the difference in my avatar, but I like the harder lines much better. Surprised it took me so long to transition.

I've just got to make my style more consistent from day to day and I'll move on to actual animations.


But I should definitely print that T-Shirt and sell it in Colorado or something.

So having an image on the back would make it too expensive for what is essentially a test campaign, so i settled with just having hatebomb on the front.

Sometimes I write poems. Here's one called Of the Moon:

For years I've waged a silent war
To see the moon undressed
For in my mind it seems far more
Than what my eyes can guess.

I'd like to think that in that glow
Lies a kingdom, old and gleaming
But bound to Earth I know, I know
I'm just a robot dreaming.

Edit: Another one. This one's a triolet apparently. I know nothing of the technical aspects of poetry.

A knight am I of truth and life
I search and love for dragon-song
Not holy, dark, or peace or strife
A knight am I of truth and life
A dreamer, shifting black and white
Not goodness, right or wrong
A knight am I of truth and life
I search and love for dragon-song.

The majestic cyberoctopus was created in an attempt by mad scientists to combine the two things they love the most: octopuses and cybernetics. Disappointingly, instead of creating an inhuman killing machine, the octopuses created were in fact perfectly harmless and ordinary sea creatures. In retrospect, the scientist responsible for the creation said that he should have replaced their brains with replica Hitler brains instead of keeping it intact.

After binging (http://www.reddit.com/r/ImaginaryMonsters) on some (http://www.reddit.com/r/EarthPorn/) art (http://www.reddit.com/r/FuturePorn) and music (courtesy of Reddit and a link I found from it (http://www.creaturespot.com/) and some Chrono Trigger OCR (http://youtu.be/-JQxH77NWEQ); Caution: Some NSFW content in the art links.) I drew a few things that came back to mind. The quality is crap (even by my standards; the better stuff comes with 3+ hours of dedicated work on a sketchpad, this was 15 minutes of work on a notepad per-image), but I think it's worthy of showing, since I'm doing art again after a 5-year dry spell (cause of it, let's just say, I didn't have fans; or at least the ones that got me en masse were of the ultra-douchebag variety that hate on everything and can spread like a virus if left unchecked; my skills had to lay low before coming back, it feels like, like I was doing a crime of creativity; admittedly, the work was a rush-job and wasn't my best of work, and the story told through them was just as bad, again, even by my standards (reason I don't do comics, despite the countless requests I've gotten from my siblings to go into it)).

I don't have them ready to upload (That'll wait until tomorrow), but here are some titles as previews:
Evading an Awakened Demon-Reactor (Creature in picture is half-visible)
Water-City and Temple Rikeah, Juneau (A city on a massive floating island/continent)
Mossy Undercity of Juneau, nearby the Megalolpolis of Baaliasa (another city, except on the underbelly of the island near the core-most mega-city; a city of darkness and/or heat (didn't quite get the element theme for it down yet))

EDIT:
Pictures are posted, see next post.
/EDIT

The drawings don't do justice to these places I've visited in my dreams; including the demon reactor beast itself, and the colony ship the size of New York it was powering (not the city, nor county, but the state of New York is how fucking big the colony ship was, and this thing (about the size of a city itself) was the power source for it, and it awoke and wasn't happy being used as such; short story, what the hell happened to all 40 million people on board it, and why were there no traces of them left? Body or Soul; not even a drop of blood or struggle? Probably the scariest thing I've encountered in a dream recently. Oh yeah, and it was improbably fast for it's size, not to mention one of it's dozens of hands were the size of the Excalibur (ship from earlier) while at it.).

And I don't remember if I submitted this before, but this was one of my older works made between 2-3 hours.
Spoiler: Beach City Monastary (Funny enough, modeled after a chair sitting near the water) (click to show/hide)


In the first image, the Excalibur is on the lower right, and we already know how big that thing is, and the creature is far enough away that there would be distant horizon fog (I need to work on rendering creatures again; as well as figure drawing for any people to render). The second image is closer the the average quality of the comic that was mocked, and if anyone wants to re-create it in DF, be my guest (it'll probably have to be shrunken down, but still cool to see). And the third one was more of an experiment of both rendering a different environment (buildings projecting out of the island, and some built into the island, and the whitespace below where the ships are passing by, that's the outer wall of one of the mega-buildings that make up the megalopolis of the core-most portion of the island (which qualifies, since it leads straight to the top-most megalopolis of Revielle (The city of Light), which is equally massive, and the Megalopolis of Earth, connected by Dark and Light spans the entire core of the island upwards and downwards). Oh yeah, and those are highways that go along the outside of the island from time to time. Helps for looking for buildings to head toward, as well as looking for the right exit.

Funny thing, I came to the conclusion that the city mapping and infrastructure (especially internally), and the shape of the island I developed, turns out the cities and temples are arranged in a manner that proposes that the island was formed around a mega-weapon the size of Hawaii, or at least, one of the smaller islands. Yep, another utterly massive doodad in the crazy-ass universe of mine.

For a good idea of the whole universe I call "The Second Nature", think of the GURPS System at TL12+ (Anything Goes). Anachronism is the norm, God is stoned and drunk, and maybe took some LSD, I don't know, and sometimes He's a character that visits from time to time to serve as a literal Deus Ex Machina, and after enough mad scientists and ascensions of all kinds of people and so forth occurred; imagination nearly becomes an actual science or some crap. Let's just say, if there was another universe that was made up of the entire universe's imagination, this would be it. Theoretically, it's magnitudes larger than our own universe, and we can only explore oh so much. The only way to experience everything would be being immortal, which is actually practical now, since space travel and Hollywood-science and such, and in some cases cartoon physics (including anime) is possible. Simply put, it's a clusterfuck of what-the-fuck. To try and make sense of it would be like translating a Necronomicon into all known languages (which, funny enough there, has been done).

EDIT:
As I submit more work, I don't care if anyone wants to re-render them or build them in DF or whatever. I'm just in it for the art. My professional graphic designing is more for other crap that catches my interest (freelancing and all, and making an income), and even with that I can care less about copyrights and such involving my work. Like I said, I'm in it for the art. I do it because I have fun doing it. Then again, it wouldn't hurt being credited as the inspiration. The way I see it, if my inner universe is anything to go by, there's no such thing as originality. I mean, it's the ultimate crossover in there, with Star Wars and Star Trek, Farscape, Lexx, Doctor Who, and just about anything else sharing the same space. Speaking of which, Lexx would obliterate the Death Star in a jiffy.

Oh yeah, and the cause of the delay of uploading, I forgot to reinstall my printer/scanner's drivers since my old HDD crapped out.

EDIT EDIT:
Oh yeah, I think I said it on the Anime thread, or at least the Happy thread, but in regards to my 'Second Nature' universe, Space Dandy (with maybe a touch of Tenchi Muyo universe) is probably the most accurate interpretation I've seen so far of how it is, and every bit as insane. Maybe I'm not the only one that's seen it? Then again, being a universe made up of imagination, we've all seen it?

EDIT EDIT EDIT:
Oh yeah, one more thing, I've been having all these flashes of this 'verse all my life; it mostly manifested by my teenage years, slightly earlier than that (hitting 10, I think was when I noticed it the most). With schizophrenia developing, that's when things got weird (like it started interacting with me, and some of my full-sensory dreams, even when awake, plopped me right in the middle of it). Fortunately, I learned to harness it, instead of removing it. Short story, I have a double-lifetime's worth of this crazy stuff yet to be rendered and explained. You'll be in for a ride once I get back to drawing regularly again (and re-rendering in 3D some of them).

I guess you can say, I nickname that universe as The Second Nature, since it has become second nature to me. I ever become sane, then it'll be like a portion of my soul goes missing. Fuck sanity and being normal; I prefer happiness. Plus, as long as I'm a high-functioning member of society, despite this "flaw", why should anyone care?

Since I got my scanner back online, and I might have some fans of my work, I might scan some more. In the meantime, here's a couple I had lingering on my drive.

Spoiler: The Floating Isle Juneau (Larger resolution to do it proper justice) (click to show/hide)
The floating island itself I mentioned earlier, and the floating specks of flak, those are orbiting properties. Mini-sky isles with houses, condos, and on some, even factories and fortresses (emphasizing on one's house being their castle a bit far). Basically, they're orbiting particles of the mainland itself, and while the island moves about (following magnetic currents or something) the islands continue to orbit it. There are all kinds of ways onto it, from aircraft and spaceships to airships and even boats (riding upwards waterfalls which serve as a water source).

Spoiler: Aviar-Kai Boomerang (click to show/hide)
This is another one of those Bladeships I mentioned. I want to render it in 3D so bad. And yes, it has sub-engines on its wings to allow it to spin like a boomerang, offensively, as in dice up infantry and other craft. Maybe not the most practical design, but kinda why it operates on a solid fuel or solid-state propulsion/power/fuel instead of liquid/gas powered (like crystals and magnets of some crazy sort). So it doesn't blow up on it's first kill. Same applies to other Aviar-Kai ships. As you'd expect, for avian-based races, something like a hummingbird would be at the helm (reactions and adaptable frame for the impacts. Also why the cockpit would look like it was made for a child.). Nonetheless, imagine the reactions of anyone's first time seeing these things fight, especially once you see a squadron start spinning like mad. They PREFER melee combat IN THE FUCKING SKY, with their ships.

Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Itnetlolor on February 02, 2014, 12:30:39 am
Each one took about 3 hours straight (usually drawn during class or a lunch break), and after a year or so afterward, an additional hour of refining details. All done in mechanical pencil (0.5mm unless I can find thinner), no pre-drawing, references, rulers, etc. Just my hands and eyes (despite pretty crappy vision (20/40 or something)).

EDIT:
Looking back at the stuff I have yet to sketch, no wonder why eldritch abominations and such don't really phase me anymore, and stuff like Dwarf Fortress and even anime caught my attention. Yeesh. Some of these things were such nightmares I forgot I wanted to forget about them. Nowadays, those same memories intrigue me. Believe me when I say that those 15-minute images don't do what they represent justice.

Actually, notice the pneumatic pistons at the base of both those vertical arm assemblies. There are also hinges down there. When triggered, the arms fall about 50 degrees outward, and then can be raised back up. Since both always trigger at the same time, no CG issues. Not like the aluminum structure has any effect on the 40 pounds of ld-acid batteries in the base.

Great drawing and idea... and the melee idea actually physically possible; the right airfoil with a forward shaped wing can indeed spin like a boomerang and still fly. Ok if I add a small flying model of this to the 'to attempt' list of mad things?

Looks like good sci-fi there. Not to nitpick, but where's all the water come from?
Like I mentioned, there's a way for regular old boats to even reach the island via upward waterfalls and air-foils/parachutes/water-wings that catch the upward flow and use the negative force from the pulled water to propel upward. Think of it like using umbrellas shaped like wings catching water to use as ballast and a means of lift (some upward winds also contribute). For descent, same parachutes have a vented duct that can control the flow to continue catching water, but also let more out safely to descend in a similar manner; come and think of it, I want to make those boats now to show how they'd work. Anyway, said waterfalls are filtered through the land in a contained aquifer, acting as a filter, which can also be purged by either pulling up freshwater lakes or using surplus water within other aquifers to clean the main one of the salts and impurities collected. Of course, there are also distilleries within the main infrastructure that can also cleanse the prime aquifer of impurities and extracting the island's primary export, salt, which can also be blessed for magical purposes. Explains the water income for the residents, as well as financial income via trade. Just as well, seeing as it's a really big floating island, and it can navigate while at it, it can also be piloted towards clouds, and thunderstorms, and in case any typhoons or hurricanes are a threat to the island, the island can avoid them on the whims of the high-councils that are the central government of the island (In case of droughts, or farmers need a boost (water from the clouds and enrichment from lightning), find a nimbus-cloud to fly into).

Go ahead. Floating islands, especially of such scale, I don't often see anywhere, and are a challenge to make look right.

I want to see some of these ships made in X-Plane or any flight simulator to see if they would actually work (flying normally, and spinning). You may get sick when it spins. I can try, but I'm still new to 3D modeling, plus coding them would be a bit of a pain. Boomerangs aren't the only melee bladeships either (SEE: Kunai Drop Pods in an earlier post; 3D render provided). Basically, I've attempted to translate as many melee weapons into ships as I could think of. Some needed some creative control to make them look less like their weapon counterpart to render them more aerodynamic for flight purposes (not all craft have Star Wars repulsor lifts), while still having weight balance well enough to still be a contact weapon made for ramming speeds, including capital ships as a last resort. Of course, for the sticklers, they do have guns on them just in case ramming or melee fighting is too impractical (more than already noticeable).

EDIT:
Oh, right, you can build some of these things. If you can make a practical version of any of my creations (given current technological limitations), that would be awesome. Hell, anyone have a 3D printer to make any of my 3D models, I'll be willing to even pay to have them tangibly produced and sent my way. I mean, some of my creations would be model-kit worthy, if I knew how to produce them properly, and a way to dis-assemble them model-wise so we can assemble them physically.

OK, listen. I've been drawing for a couple of years now, and I still suck. Let me tell you though, I suck a lot less then a few years ago.

I went from this:

and most recently this project:

(effectiveness of image somewhat useless becaue it's isn't uploaded at full size D:)
Spoiler: WARNING LARGE ASS PICTURE (click to show/hide)

The point is this: Keep drawing. Draw things that are difficult, time consuming. You WILL get better, a lot better. Undertake projects, join contests, etc.

If you want some technique advice, I'd say this: move away form manga, it's an excellent basis, but in the large scope of things somewhat limiting. Learn the different types of shading, lighting direction, etc.

Draw shit you see, or draw shit you imagine. Do both actually. Just... draw.

I can maybe offer you a few tips about noses and ears, but you're on your own for clothing. Noses seen a bit from the side are actually super easy to draw, and can be made with four simple curves. Since i rarely do DEAD ON FRONTAL portraits of people, i use this kind of nose most of the time. But just for good measure, i have also included a frontal nose:

(http://i.imgur.com/iWiUvlL.png)

Although from my observations, manga noses tend to mostly just be a little 7 turned upside down, and a flattened V when seen from the front (if they even draw noses). I just like to draw comical bulbous noses. :U
As for ears, one way is to draw them as tall C's with sort of a squiggle/heavily distorted G or 6 inside.

(http://i.imgur.com/1wf0rL6.png)

I mostly do the one on the right, but you could easily get away with a loose spiral like the one on the 6-ear if it's a cartoony drawing. I admit that i haven't seen enough manga/anime to notice a trend with the ears there, but hey! :P
Quote from: Cthulufaic on February 06, 2014, 06:56:20 pm
but I keep on making more and more unfinished sketches without completing much.
This is not a bad thing. I have made a gagillion crappy and unfinished doodles that probably won't ever go beyond that, even though i could theoretically go all out and go digital paint on them. I don't always feel for it, so therefore i don't always do it.

So basically, practice, enjoy yourself, and don't give up. Taking a break is totally fine, nobody will hate you for that, just don't give up if you really want to learn. I know from experience that progress can be painfully slow, but hang in there, it will happen. If a schlub like me can learn to draw somewhat okay-ish by just taking it easy and doodling for fun (and also reading a few tutorials to rectify major issues that people pointed out rather frequently), then so and you and everyone else. All you need is tiiiiiiime. :U

@DarkDXZ: Ooo, that evil chickenbone guy is pretty rad, in particular do you seem to have a really good grasp of the dreaded FORESHORTENING. Nice job! c:

also speaking of doodles......
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I sketched a portrait of a D&D character of mine, who is hopefully obviously a dorf. His name is GRIMSHIT MOUNTAINBEARD, KEEPER OF HATE, and he's a warlock. And he's fucking angry all the time. He managed to create a potential major antagonist by punching a minion in the balls, only to find out that this particular minion was favoured by the gods themselves, thus giving rise to the mighty GODBALLS (who then absconded out of the cottage that Grimshit had managed to light on fire, making it collapse on top of Godballs to no ill effect). He also labels most people as being clods or bumshits. It has come to the point where we in our little online group refer to higher-ranked members of a mercenary band (called the CRIMSON JERKFACES) as bumshits, with one of them actually being called Bumshit while he was alive. It's pretty amusing. :U

i also made a turbospeed doodle of a boid

As someone who has been hit with all kinds of criticism despite my skills, where judgement is concerned, if people say you suck, it's their opinion, if you think you suck, then you suck; but if you're proud of how much you suck, then that's where art starts to show. Don't care too much about how your work turns out, and draw what you love to draw. Consider your "suck" as an art style and work off of that, or refine it to something crazier (in terms of crazy-detailed to just plain crazy).

Basically, work to your own rhythm. Mine just happens to have a forte in guns and landscapes and ships, with a style aiming more towards descriptive and draft-ish; like how a designer approaches engineering.

Dammit Jopax, you're STILL too good at this. :v

also i decided that i wanted to speedpaint a friends D&D character

but then i realized i have NO idea how to speedpaint humans

so it turned into a 2 hour slog

(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/038/1/d/groo_by_shook12-d75j3z0.png)

And yet, those hands are a brutal affront to human anatomy. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAANDS. He also looks like he's made of clay. The only thing i'm entirely happy with is the metal dome on his helmet, and possibly the structure of his face, as goofy as it may be. But hey, considering that i've only ever drawn a single digit number of full human figures, i think he turned out reasonably well. :U

Oh yes, Arne's tutorial is an excellent one, and is actually among the things that have influenced my doodling. Fun thing though, his paintings also tend to have a clay-like look to them, although the two obvious differences are that A: he's actually extremely competent, and B: he does it on purpose. For the most part, i think what i'm doing wrong is choice of colours, because skin does have a fairly similar shading to clay (it's dull, but less bumpy). Groo's skin tone here is almost exactly the same as the example of a boring skin tone here (http://gas13.ru/v3/tutorials/middle_art_tutorial.jpg), so basically i need to use more vibrant colours. But hey, making mistakes is how you learn. :U

Probably yes, although his legs actually do make up about half his standing height, the bottom of his torso is just obscured by the hide armour. With that said, i sketched him really quickly, and human anatomy isn't one of my strong points, so it's very likely that i messed up more than just the legs. :P

Speaking of coloring, ohh how I hate coloring; I can practice every other thing, but find painting to be incredibly frustrating for some reason or another.

Anyways, I made this like two weeks ago and posted it on the Cataclysm:dda forums, wanted to see if I could nail a nice cartoonish simple style coloring, I ended up with this:

(http://i.imgur.com/5mJmscO.jpg)

It surprised me that it ended that well, as I hardly ever paint my stuff, a good first attempt I think, still have to get a better idea of how to balance tones and saturations, and I just realized I didnt even bother with the shoes, that sucks.

Better in which sense? A more detailed, satellite-like map for a fantasy land doesn't automatically make it better, specially when such fantasy land doesn't have access to satellites.

That being said, if your map is clear and guides the fantasy inhabitants through the different lands to where they want to be, then your map is good enough.
Sorry if that sounds a bit preachy, but I just recently read this (http://www.nicholastam.ca/2011/04/18/here-be-cartographers-reading-the-fantasy-map/), and my mind was rightfully blown.

Hey guys, just popping in here to see if I could request something from all you artsy folks.
This isn't anything I plan on using for anything*, and is more or less just something I really want to see.

Anywho, I've been throwing the idea of a powerful female protagonist for a story I want to write but probably never will.

Her features should be something like this:
Long, white hair. Perhaps with portions of it stained with blood.
White/Silvery eyes.
Average height for a normal human female.
She needs to be an angel, so wings. (And they gotta be glorious.)
Somewhat muscular, whatever would be appropriate for a soldier of sorts.
Face should be a little bit round. Not fat-type round though, more of just a roundish jaw.
She should have an expression composed of sadness mixed with emotional deadness.

I want her to be clad in some pretty majestic, high-fantasy, white, angelic type armor. Nothing like gold trim, though. Also, nothing TOO ridiculously huge. Perhaps covered in some blood as well.
She should have two large, curved swords, either in her hands, on her back, or on her sides. Bloody, of course.

Basically, the character I'm describing comes from a quick story I made up for one of my friends on Facebook when they asked me to.
The character I described, who I'm calling Leia, for now, is the Commander of the Sylphian Military, with the Sylphians being the angels of the world I'm playing with at the moment.

As for the general art style, anything goes. I would prefer something really... Artsy? I guess?
Something that looks like it was done with Pastels, I think, is what I mean, but again, anything will work.

All artists who take my challenge will be awarded cookies.

Also, sorry if this is the wrong place to go for asking for art to be done, I admittedly didn't look that hard for a thread of the sort.

*Currently, anyway; I'll let whoever know/ask for permission if I ever use the graphic for anything.
ahhh! so remember when i went to draw this?
well yeah, i drew it then my laptop crashed. Hard
my laptop is finally back up but nothing is on it.
i have to reinstall everything. the only things i have are things i backed up on my usb stick.
so yeah, sorry about that.
I could draw it again for you if you would like.

Artistically. Consider the dunes: they don't really look too much like dunes. The mermaid sitting in the bay on the west side looks like she's holding pompoms; the 'swampy' portion on the north-west corner doesn't look much like a swamp; some of the mountains would have benefited from a bit more time spent shading them. Things like that.

I do, from an writing point of view, agree with the article you linked though.

In case you do ever move away from the round brush (which is perfectly fine, all the other brushes are there to either texturise a bit (which can be done with proper textures anyway) or to speed up certain things) here's what I currently use : http://jonasdero.deviantart.com/art/FREE-PHOTOSHOP-GIMP-BRUSHES-Explanation-348274576

Also I know the pain of moving to a smaller tablet, my current one is about the quarter of the last one, tho it has spiffy extra buttons which more than make up for that :D

Also also, pretty good cup, consider blending to make it look even smoother.

Also, the mug looks rather crude because i only spent like 15 minutes on it, would of course have blended it better if i were to use more time. This is particularly noticable around the various edges of the mug, where it's like a complete mess of colours because i didn't bother cleaning it up. :U

I just figured: it can't be dried blood, because the blood is on his fur and on the ground, and there's no way he'd be standing there long enough for them both to dry. So I thought perhaps it might be mud. It is quite a good dried blood color though.

One of the rare few times i've drawn ANYTHING facing the camera directly. The subjects usually look a tad to the side, and you can see that this guy still really wants to look to his right. :U
Also, one could argue that the head is a bit broad... But to that, i say T-REX. They actually have a fairly narrow snout in comparison to the rest of their head, since they'd otherwise not have very good front vision. Given that dragons are more or less airborne T-rexes with a really bad temper (and a penchant for stealing princesses), i think it isn't too far off to loosely base their heads upon their extinct counterparts. :P

Arx, that's a really nice drawing. The wrist doesn't look too bad. The only thing that really sticks out is the small axe head. It's fine to have a small one if it's facing away, but if that's the case the base of the pole should be noticeably thicker than the top.

Keep up the good work! :)

I did a thing. My computer science teacher has a secret webpage on our school's computer science website dedicated to showing various photoshops of his face onto various things. Usually hilariously obvious, intentionally bad style shops that are either completely absurd, referencing nerd culture, or are just flat terrifying.

Considering it's my senior year, and my compsci teacher's a supah cool dude, I figured I could do a thing. He's been playing Borderlands 2 regularly recently, and made various jokes about how it's all he does in his spare time now. Hence why I came up with this. He liked it. I assume he'd be cool with an image bearing his likeness appearing randomly on the internet in a forum. He's got a facebook and stuff.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Used GIMP and the magic of the magic wand tool and layers. Made the logo using a png arrangement of the alphabet in Borderlands style font carefully duplicated, cropped and edited and rotated to spell out the class. Had the most fun making the logo, oddly enough. Probably could have edited the hands to go over the face, and had the idea to change the logo to "CODERLANDS 2" for more pun factor, but it'd take way more effort to make that logo, and gimp had already remashed all my layers back together. I was already happy enough with this result.

Not being sarcastic, by the way. At that point in the drawing, my brain suddenly began flashing a finished version of that face before my eyes, and that was rather unpleasant, given that i was styling it after what i'd consider to be the scariest face i could think of. :I

Not being sarcastic, by the way. At that point in the drawing, my brain suddenly began flashing a finished version of that face before my eyes, and that was rather unpleasant, given that i was styling it after what i'd consider to be the scariest face i could think of. :I

Arx, that's a really nice drawing. The wrist doesn't look too bad. The only thing that really sticks out is the small axe head. It's fine to have a small one if it's facing away, but if that's the case the base of the pole should be noticeably thicker than the top.

Keep up the good work! :)

Ya, very nice Arx. Question, did you draw lines first and then color it in? Or just go right in to making shapes with paint tools?
I do rough line work, then block in rough colour shapes, and then refine the shapes until they look about right. The linework usually ends up looking only vaguely like the finished product. For instance, this is what the knight looks like with the original lines laid over:

Yea, I just wanted to let you know lines usually help a lot. Of course, if you're okay with having the picture defined by the lines instead of the color, you can always block out a general shape and clean it up with lines.

So I found this cool little web program thing called Pimp my Gun (http://pimpmygun.doctornoob.com/app.php). It gives you a list of gun parts to assemble into your own weapon, and allows you to export that as a .jpeg, or as text to load later. Sadly it doesn't seem to be updating anymore, but it still has an extensive list of parts.

So I've been thinking, how willing would you guys be to participate in an exercise thread (I know we had a few, but they all kinda diead, EG too since Spreggo doesn't come around anymore).

Ideally it'd run for two-three months and have a weekly focus like perspective, colour, lightning and stuff. And to get people to stick with it maybe some sort of reward for the top student or something?

Just brainstorming here, since I wanna do some more focused studying but know that I'll hardly keep to the schedule if nobody is there to do it with me/oversee my progress and push me on.

I would be on it. A clear schedule and concrete deadlines could encourage us, maybe requesting for a bit of self-discipline (inside the forum, nobody can directly reprimand you for not doing something). But surely, I'm sure I need it.

Yeah I put that on the backburner for the past week, otherwise I'd have started the thing myself. Anyways. I had a rough guideline of how the whole thing would look like that I'd been toying with in my head.

We'd start off the first week or two with linework and perspective drills, working on making things look right without any values. Then we'd move to value, light and colour for a whle. Next would come the slightly more abstract and difficult to explain and learn right away, concepts of composition, design, storytelling and the like.

So I guess we'd be doing a study or several for each of the focuses and then trying to create our own piece using what we learned.

I see a white bat hanging from a white ceiling in a cave. Took me a while to see anything different.

Anyway. I did a thing.

Spoiler: "You got my face wrong, you bakka." (click to show/hide)

Just a sketch based off a screenshot I took of some anime *cough*Kill la Kill*cough* because anime is slowly consuming my life. Also because it's an enjoyable warmup exercise thing.. I always liked anime-style, if only because it looks nice without looking overly realistic, so I can draw without trying desperately to get it AS REAL LOOKING AND PERFECT AS POSSIBLE as I might otherwise try vainly to do in pencil. Also also, expressions are fun.

doing this made me realize how I out of touch I am with drawing stuff. My lines were shakier than I'd like, and it came out messier than I'd prefer, but it's only a sketch anyway. It was fun to restrict myself to gray tones, and I learned some stuff about shading via layers. In hindsight the mouth is slightly smaller than it should be, so the expression is off, but by the time I realized it I couldn't redraw it without having to reshade some stuff too. Figured I'd leave it as is.

Took about an hour, listened to Animals as Leader's self-titled album while doing it.

Post by: SealyStar on March 07, 2014, 11:43:34 pm
I've had an idea called Rust Belt Rumble, set in the "rust belt" (obviously) after an unspecified apocalypse. I've been writing various informational texts for it, concentrating on those cities of Michigan I actually know things about (names in parentheses are corrupted forms in Rural Hick Pidgin):

Grand Rapids
Grand Rapids is the last beacon of civilization in west Michigan, depending on one's definition of civilization. The Hipster Republic nominally presides, but now it is largely a puppet of the Scamway Corporation, which is interesting because it exemplifies what led to the downfall of capitalism: corporations able to make obscene amounts of money from doing absolutely nothing productive. The Hipster Republic professes to be tolerant and progressive, albeit "ironically", but its actual policies, under the influence of the DuRess and Van Skandel families, are right-wing conservative on par with those of the New Michigan Dominion. A group of rebels known as Ford's Patriots, after the US President who came from the city, wants to restore a centrist true republic. Finally, the Diversity League is a coalition of black and Hispanic groups from the grungier parts of the city, fed up with the blinding snow-whiteness of every other local faction.

Lansing (Lassey)
Lansing was capital of the old state of Michigan. Now it is the crumbling heart of the city-state which claims to be the true government of the entire former state, the New Michigan Dominion. The Dominion is a right-wing conservative dream, in keeping with the views of its founders, and a nightmare for anyone who isn't white, male, straight, and rich. On the borders of Dominion territory, the place once known as "East Lansing" is now the hotbed of dissent, through a patriot group based on college sports calling itself the Spartan Legion. Technologically, Lansing is very backwards and relies on scavenging to provide the equipment to maintain its buildings and economy.

Ann Arbor (Narber)
The apocalypse proved to the denizens of Ann Arbor just how unstable the college-town system truly is. The city is now divided by the Thompson Street Wall due to the Great Town-Gown Truce of 2025. Within the wall the Most Serene and Holy University of Michigan attempts to rule with dictatorial authority over several thousand "students" (i.e. subjects), though the students have put up strong resistance through groups like the Students for a Democratic Society (better known as the Pot-Smoking College Hippies) and the Students for Demonocratic Satanism, hell-bent (no pun intended) on summoning their dark lord to oust God-Empress Coleman from her throne. Outside, the People's Republic of Ann Arbor is a similarly authoritarian communist state, which has socialized farms throughout the countryside around the city.

Detroit (Troy)
Detroit is, in fact, the least damaged of all cities by the apocalypse, because it couldn't really have gotten any worse. Like Lansing, it is ruled by a fascist dictatorship left over from the pre-apocalypse government, centered around a Big Brother-like figure called the Emergency Manager. They have nationalized most of the city's famous factories, using them to produce weapons to outfit their Nazi-esque army, intent on invading Canada to the east for the Lebensraum. Below 8 Mile Road, the Emergency Manager's forces must deal with constant resistance from the 8 Mile N***az, a coalition of former-enemy street gangs who want independence. In the affluent white suburbs, the Hockey Resistance Army also violently opposes the Emergency Manager, due to his seizure of their five-bedroom houses and artificial-lakefront condos to quarter troops and plant more crops in the lots. Those factories which resisted nationalization generally believe in a cult known as the "Church of Ford", inspired by Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, which believes in enlightenment through the application of assembly lines for every conceivable problem.

Presumably these will mostly be funny to Michigan folks, though the analyses of poor urban areas and college towns are probably universal.

A bunch of random sketches made with a black/blue pen on the margins of various sketchbooks while being bored at school, all mostly tying into a game concept that I've been brainstorming about lately.

Quote from: DarkDXZ on March 08, 2014, 01:15:26 pm
A concept that I've been thinking about is, in short, a 2D sidescrolling team-based, multiplayer Nuclear Throne-type game - you run around in two teams of X players (probably around 3-4, and the maps would be relatively small) in a nuclear wasteland, killing each other with guns and stuff.


In more detail, you have 3 main "mutants"/classes (unmutated humans, frogs and birds), 3 weapon types (ranged, melee, explosive), each having 3 weapons in them (submachine gun, sniper rifle and shotgun; knife, sledgehammer and spear; grenade, cherry bombs and mines) that you can freely mix and match.

Each of the classes and weapons would be unique and distinct from each other (humans are all-arounders, with a double jump; frogs are slow, tanky and have a single, high jump; birds are fast but fragile and can fly) and would have their own stregnths and weaknesses (grenades do decent damage and explode on impact, cherry bombs do a lot of small damage chunks but don't explode on impact (rather after a set duration) and mines are powerful but have to be manually detonated/stepped over by enemies and have a small arming time so you can't "facemine" people). You can only change those before the game starts though, so you have to be wise about it. You could also pick an utility item, such as a portable teleporter or a health pack or a sentry gun, but not sure if that'd be necessary.

Apart from the equipment, you can also choose upgrades for the weapons that will be available for you in the shop in the game (you can select 3 out of X possible upgrades, so you have to choose wisely - upgrades would range from an extended magazine to extra fire rate to explosive bullets, and each weapon would have its own set of upgrades that you could unlock in the campaign mode/through online play) and you can also choose mutations (which are upgrades that affect your character and their effect is far bigger than the weapon upgrades) that you will be able to choose when you gain a level in-game when you kill enough enemies (there could be some neutral/team AI-controlled mutants/monsters). For instance, you could gain a mutation that lets you dash sideways to avoid damage, or gain health back from attacking enemies (lifesteal).

There would be some bog-standard gamemodes like TDM or CTF but also something akin to a MOBA gamemode, where you have to destroy the enemy base while protecting your own, with turrets and all that.


I had plenty of sketches for the characters and weapons in my notebooks (boring lessons are boring, plus I need to practice my art), and eventually I hope to make this game one day. Until then...

I used a self-made grid when making that, and I'm satisfied with the results, mostly.

Alright, more randomness for unnamed mutants game! (I really need to find a name for it and possibly organize all my stuff into a seperate thread, any ideas?)

I found some pretty decent pixel artsy designs for all 3 races (the bird ones were pain in the ass to get right though, but ultimately I went with Rambo storks - come on, everyone knows that storks are the most badass birds in the universe), using a slightly edited version of my previous map. (pretty heavily edited, actually, but it looks way cooler and has that post-apocalyptic theme going for it now)

(http://i.imgur.com/JmOIQaH.png)
This is 600% zoomed in. Shows how fine pixel art this really is.

Also I just noticed that essentially you now have storks eating frogs. Coincidence, I think not.

They have proportionally huge heads, thick bodies, and short legs, and the one proportional distortion you pick out to critique is the relative length of their arms?

Yes, because it's more striking than all of the others - the other things you mention are fairly standard to amateur pixel art characters.

No need to be defensive. Constructive critique is good because there's other people not saying it who are thinking it. Always.

They're meant to be kind of cartoonish - you expect realistic depictions of stereotyped characters introduced as "city loser" and "country loser", the latter of whom is wearing overalls and a wife beater while smoking a cigarette and holding various firearms?

But anyway, I guess you have a point. It's an easy change.

If you follow a model, you create expectations in the viewers' mind. For a cartoonish human, with an otherwise properly proportioned body (excepting small deviations like thick chest and large head), your average viewer is still going to expect Vitruvian Compliance.

I've been trying to improve the Losers. I tried to make a girlfriend for City Loser (so he could be City Slightly-Less-Loser), but trying to do female proportions with that scale of pixel art is hard, because one pixel on or off is pretty much the difference between a boxy masculine shape and an uncanny wasp waist.

No, I haven't, though I might at one point.

Speaking of that map, a bit of fiddling got me a bit more awesome and more atmospheric version (if only from a desert during daytime it turned into nighttime winter), which you could see in the character group shot.

Also, making weapons on this scale is hard. Either that or I can't draw SMGs.

I'm not exactly an artist, but it's pretty good. The only real change I can think of is giving a bit more definition to the hand by making a black line where the thumb meets the rest of the hand.

AAAAAAAAAAAAA hi there's one thing i would like to point out re: pixel art

(http://i.imgur.com/nDsXzw7.png)

Be careful with outlines like that. In a few cases you'll need to do like that, but those cases are usually limited to single pixels on small sprites (yours could be one, for example on the inside of the fist). Allow me to illustrate what i mean:

(http://i.imgur.com/K0hk0BP.png)

If you hypothetically were to alternate colours for each "line" in a curve, they shouldn't border up to each other like on the left, unless it's a special case (read: sharp corner, blocky shapes...). It looks a lot more smooth when you make the outline as thin as you can, like on the right.

Also, as freeform said, i'd expect a troll to have a thicker torso, possibly a beer belly, especially since he's threatening to eat me. :U

Also also, one last thing:

(http://i.imgur.com/NfmUS3t.png)

In other words, bigger difference in light value between light, midtone and shadow! It feels odd at first, but trust me, it looks better. If you look at things in reality, you'll also notice fairly significant jumps in brightness when going from light to shadow.

This reminds me of a chainchomp, except different colors and it has ears and not a chain for a tail... So it's like a chainchomp, but different.

Character for a game I had in my head. Probably never going to make it, but I like the drawing. I'm not too great at making distinctive characters, but I think I did an alright job with this 'un. Might do the other characters later. They're all based around primary colors (Since the game would be almost limbo-level desaturated and the colors would help add distinction).

Each of them could probably use a more defined right hand grip than shown. Try to make at least a lego grip (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZhjPL-LXDKc/UIlcxPm858I/AAAAAAAAFLk/1hFVbbCA3dQ/s1600/Lego+Costume+Hands.jpg), but a little more definition than that is ideal. The viewer's eye is lead down to the weapon, so they're going to notice each warrior is holding theirs in a very ambiguous way.

That's about what I'd do. It took a bit of fiddling, but basically you want it to look like the hand is wrapped around something. Based on the way the blade is being held off to one side like that, the comfortable way of doing it (I think, anyway) would be to position your thumb straight down and wrap your fingers around behind the handle. I just realized I messed up the sword handle, though. Oh, well. Also, since you've got a third color for the armor, you should make more use of it - it's good for indicating joints that are too fine for full black to look quite right,  I think.

Need to practice STEADYHANDING a lot more.

Burning giant mushrooms, but yeah, pretty much. Forgotten beast sets them on fire in the caverns, and then they burn... well, in the pic. It's next to a lake.

Version 2 of pizza slice, I swapped the cheese and crust colors, stabilized the pepperoni, and made it show the bottom of the slice while going up.

To me it looks like it turns over so it should logically show the none-cheesed side.
the cheese colour is a bit odd too.
Same for me on both counts - it looks like it flips, and the cheese looks a little odd. (though you explained the cheese color.)

Posting this here because I'd like some feedback on it - I'd like to know exactly how much it sucks, if I should give up and focus my creativity towards something else, and if a no to that last, what I could/should do to improve. Modeled in 3ds Max.

It looks pretty good, but the fire looks very videogamey. I think that by the time the fire was burning that high the rest of the mushroom would be on fire as well, not just one spot. Cave walls also don't normally look like that, unless it's an area with a lot of tectonic activity it should probably have a fairly consistent texture.

...Duly noted. Thank you very much for the input. :) The cave walls, I admit, was me being lazy and trying to keep the "texture tiling" phenomenon from being too readily transparent... and it wound up looking kind of lame. If the fire is too tall, it's probably because I haven't spent enough time around fires to know what's realistic. :P That's no excuse, though - I should've researched it.

The pizza looks much better, now - very nice improvements. :D I'm curious as to why it wobbles during the second half of each "flip", though - is that intentional?

Did a sketch thing. More anime. Nowhere near done yet, but I'm getting bored and running out of steam. Also it's getting late. Nothing original, another freehand rough sketch using a still frame as a reference. These are supposed to help me plan out my drawings better, theoretically.

Mr Space Cat - that's actually pretty awesome - way better than anything I could manage. I like the style... The only thing I might do different is change the facial structure slightly so the character looked older, but, there's also no way in circus I'd be able to manage that myself. lol   My drawing skills absolutely suck. It's part of why I turned to 3d modeling. Maybe my hands don't do what they want, but I get computers, at least.
    Anyway, it's not bad at all. Don't be so hard on yourself.

FAKEEDIT: Oh, they aren't all status indicators? I don't see how  frost damage is a status indicator.
I was maybe a little liberal with throwing "damage" at the end of all the effects. In truth, only fire and poison would be damage over time (physical and magical, respectively) and the others deal initial damage, and then apply different debuffs. In freezing's case, having the debuff would cause a roll to be taken each turn. If you failed the roll, you freeze for the remaining duration on the debuff (i.e. stunned). Having a higher intensity (the number in the corner) would increase the likelihood of freezing.

edit: yeah, looking at it again, some of my answers didn't really mean what I wanted them to. I've modified them for better clarity now.

Tried something different. Basically time trials where I pick some reference, then draw what I can in the amount of time I have to listen to some random song I find on youtube. These were all done between 3~~5 minutes. From various still shots from Kill la Kill, figured I'd get some practice in drawing the human female figure doing some sort of dynamic pose. Also a quick head because I was running out of room.

Spoiler: the middle one is my favorite (click to show/hide)

I enjoyed this. It was fun. I think the general proportions came out well, and the time limit made me focus less on getting that one line curved exactly right and instead think about just drawing the thing.

In the future I think I'll switch my sketch colors around, the red lines of the framework stand out more than the blue "more important" lines.

Maybe a couple more highlights on the front end of the wings, to make them a bit more visible, like maybe a small one at the tip, and about the middle of the wing.

Otherwise, I say it looks great.

C. I think the spaceship-fighter-jet-thing looks great as it is now. If I got really nit-picky, then I could probably find some problems with the sprite, but that's the nature of art: Nothing's perfect. Still, though, I'm not exactly a master artist, so someone with a touch more experience with this kind of stuff could probably give more helpful critique.

Yeah, keep in mind that I use a Darkling Theme, so I'm seeing it against a far darker background then most people.

If you plan to have the sprite be used against a light colored background, leave it as is.

Perhaps a liiiiiiiiittle bit too many highlights for my taste, it's a bit cluttered and it's kind of hard to make out the actual ship behind them. :v
Not overly much so though, because it also gives me some Tron vibes, which is all about neon stripes on a dark surface being all cool and stuff. Leaving it as it is would also be acceptable, really, it just doesn't need more than it already has.

The first thing that pops out to me on that hand is the single jointed thumb. Even a slight indication of that first knuckle (is it still called a knuckle on a thumb?). Overall, that's some pretty good progress on the ever feared hand.

I myself have been busy for the last week, mostly because my router died and I have a lack of offline games installed on my computer.

It's 12:40 at night and I really should've gone to sleep an hour ago but hey, I drew a thing. That's mildly better than "play games all night and not do anything creative" but not quite as good as "play guitar all the time" or "master that song" or "paint the Mona Lisa in Microsoft Paint with your tongue." Also I stayed up late on a school night. Again.

Was aiming for a more realistic style of sketch, but it quickly degraded into "not serious work" just from when I was doing the linework and the anonymous model's nose came out to be the size of a pickle.

So today I've decided to grab a proper sheet of paper and get drawing.
Didn't draw much, but it's still pretty good. (also I've colored it digitally in Paint.NET in an extremely lazy manner that every artist out there would want to burn me alive and throw into a pit of hungry snakes for)
I guess it's related to Gun Francisco and I should probably post it over there, but HEY, whatever.

At that point I probably would want to look into legitimate 3D rendering programs instead of stubbornly trying to do everything in GIMP. I like the clouds, at least.

(yeah, I know, double-post...)


I have a little challenge for you folks.
You've got two colors to work with (technically one, since the other is for the background), pencil tool, 1-pixel-thickness, mouse only. No extra effects.
GO!

Spoiler: Here's what I've made. (click to show/hide)

It was meant as an alien investigating human weapons (which aren't quite real...) on a console. (You can see hands at the very bottom but I kind of failed to draw them properly...)
And no, I did not base the "alphabet" on anything, don't try to decipher it because there isn't anything to be deciphered.or is there?

So yeah, the true minimalist art challenge, see what you can do with it!  ;D

So here's something I've been working on and off for the past six months. If you look through some of my posts you can actually see how this project (I call it that because initially I thought it was going to be a videogame, then I thought of it as a suggestion game, perhaps in six months I'll think of it as a puppet show or something) is going, but I digress.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I'm going with an RPGish view for this one, which I am enjoying. This street is a work in progress, but most of it is done. Most of it is from already done sprites, some of which are from different projects, but I am personally really proud of the road texture I did for this. Initially it was a cracked, nasty looking road, which really didn't suit the scene (It's meant to be a rather nice, well-maintained city that is pleasant to look at) so I did a little bit of experimentation and eventually managed to make a really sweet road texture. If you look closely enough you can see it actually is like real tarmac with it's own pattern. I think it adds a bit of depth to the scene, but it may be just me. The road paint was done by using a transparent brush of various colors. I tried making one side brighter then the other but it just looked rubbish and I decided I would be much better served by making it flat.

Anyway, the thing that was bugging me is how I'm going to do the buildings. I want this to be similar to the business district in Dubai, but I wasn't quite sure how to go about making the bottom floors of skyscrapers from an RPG-like perspective without it being silly. This is meant to be a suggestion game so I'd like to make it low-maintance. Any tips on that front? Might be overly specific, but any techniques would be appreciated.

Humans don't have huge diagonal eyes. At least as far as I know. Also, the legs seem really short, but I'm not very good at anatomy myself.

And maybe my eyes are bad, but I didn't see any texture on the road. Copying into an image editor and zooming in shows that there is one, but my brain reads it as compression artifacts. Staring at the picture for a bit longer does reveal that it keeps it from being a completely dull grey though.

Currently the person is at an angle, but the terrain is completely top-down. The simplest fix would be to simply make the lower grey portion of the grass tiles a bit taller, but it should be something that is used consistently. Maybe do the same for the grey tiles. To make it seem more like a physical tile, rather than just flat grey broken up by grey lines.

And finally pillow shading = bad. Pick a direction that light is coming from, and shade properly. I am referring the walls around the grassy tiles. The person is oddly shaded as well.

Post by: Shook on April 12, 2014, 07:22:33 pm
I like the tarmac texture, actually, it's quite easy on the eyes and provides just enough detail for it to not be dull. Besides that, everything cerapa says applies. I've been looking at your stuff for a while now, and i can say that you have definitely improved since the first time, so keep on trucking!

I was originally going to make a lengthy post here about straight lines and shit, but on further inspection, it's not nearly as glaring as my mind made it up to be, especially given how small the girl is. Instead, i shall just link to this tutorial that i have linked many times (http://www.androidarts.com/pixtut/pixelart.htm), particularly the last section with that example thing might be of use to you.

Ever played EarthBound? If you want the bottom floors of skyscrapers to look good, you may want to consider doing them like some of the game's buildings' exteriors but on a straighter perspective (if you didn't know, it was an isometric game). None of the game's buildings has a glass exterior, but the doors don't look half bad and if you mess with the idea, you get a pretty palatable door for pretty much anything. I have no clue what Dubai looks like, for the record; you may be able to use some of the general ideas behind the game's art direction.

If you haven't/for your amusement, I'll post a quick shot of a town in game with the player's party removed, courtesy of a quick Google search. On furtehr inspection it appears to be ever so slightly photoshopped, but if memory serves it resembles the real game well enough.

So I did what I do best (http://i.imgur.com/SC4jrU8.png) and made another magic circle kerjigger. Not sure what for. I was originally going to replace Necromancy with this but halfway through I realized I couldn't fit it with the theme I'd decided on so I may not ever use it for anything, but it was a good experiment with the background complication geometry stuff. Nice and quick.

Also, I did the version in the spoiler because it technically meets the requirements ("mouse only" = "I used the mouse to click the stroke button >______________>").

So I drew this thing like thrice now:
- first time as a bright purple one-pixel-thick sketch in Paint.NET
- second time as a lineart (with the line tool), again in Paint.NET
- and then the final time with the sketch brush in Krita

And at this point I am not sure if I should color and shade it or leave it as-is, since it looks badass in its own right I feel.

There's a pretty decent terrain generator I used to run every once in awhile called Terragen. It's pretty decent with how it works, and it allows for plugins to be used while at it. With enough time and processing power, I've made a few interesting scenes, and even rendered some DF terrain maps into the system, and got a better visual idea of the land.

Here's an example:
Spoiler: Xah Zurko, the land where Bloodfist was made, re-rendered in Terragen 2 (click to show/hide)
There are other angles I could approach it, but I was rendering the map top-down like in DF. Not taking pictures from different places in it.

EDIT:
I don't recall if I posted on here (this thread, specifically) with it or not, but I did this about a month ago, and I still think it's pretty neat. What happens when you combine the Electric Sheep screensaver with the Rainmeter desktop interface?

Spoiler: Something awesome (click to show/hide)

And yes, the background animates the entire time. How I got it to work is actually quite simple. Download Electric Sheep, and make a BAT file like this
Code: [Select]
@echo off
start es.scr /p65552
exitExecute it, and then presto! You have an animating desktop. Toss in Rainmeter for an interface to go on top of it, and you have what I made. Life Imitates Art; you now have a Hollywood-esque "hacker" desktop.

PRO-TIP:
You can always ALT-F4 out of the Electric Sheep screensaver background. The Windows-Key also works if you need the toolbar (seeing as Electric Sheep even goes over it when it's in front; but if other programs or windows are in use, the toolbar will stick around otherwise; until Electric Sheep is selected again as the primary window (in front)), or want to open a program, or highlight Electric Sheep to close it (right-clicking to close it doesn't work, but you can still ALT-F4 out of it by clicking on it, and hitting that).

Just looked up at what's up with Terragen, and much has developed. Been awhile, but here's a quick rendering. Took about 2 hours to render.

Spoiler: Not bad for a first try. But I know I can make far better. (1280x1024, desktop-ready, made in TG2) (click to show/hide)

...Now I want to play Tropico.

EDIT:
As of right now, this was more of a benchmarking of how long it would take to render an average-quality island on top setting made for desktop scale (at least from a bird's eye view). 2 hours seems pretty decent a rendering time given the scale; but given the specs of my machine (according to benchmarking programs, and keeping an eye on my machine's temperatures and such), I'm due for an update; at least for the CPU. It could be more powerful.

What do you think?

Drew a thing, this time without any reference whatsoever. Was going for a quick concept sorta sketch to practice humanoid proportions on a humanoid figure...it turned into an anime girl. A very generic, tomboy-ish anime girl with a silly anatomy breaking post and a derptastic face, but the proportions actually look good. Actually has a feminine figure and girl chest bits that look like girly chest bits. I blame Kill la Kill for that, it gave me lots of study time on the female figure.

Clothing isn't too bad either, although the loose baggy pants could fit the form less and look looser and baggier.

Originally was just gonna be the blue mannequin-esque sketch, but I just kept going and filled it in. Had fun at least, that was nice. Took ~30 mins, listened to Chevelle's Vena Sera album.

Quite excellently, despite my having put it in my keyring at the wrong position and facing the wrong way. This keyring requires a sumo wrestler to wrangle though, so i can't be assed to move it. :v
I still have the other two as well, in case the MAIN DORF somehow breaks. I consider this to be an unlikely scenario though, given the thickness of the plastic.

Know all the times in...pretty much all media, really, where the protagonist receives a "magic pencil" artifact-kinda-thing that (s)he can use to draw objects that spontaneously come to life? (probably most notable example would be Scribblenauts)

I want to see a fantasy game whose magic system revolves around that, with people running around with magic pencils and erasers. You could use your mouse/stylus (who knows) to draw objects (and their quality (based on the similarity to the "default" drawing, which the player could have a look of in their "spellbook") would affects its stats like damage (if it is, say, a sword) or speed and HP (if it's some sort of summon/elemental).

There would be multiple colors of the magic pencils, and they would be essentially the equivalent of elements in other such games (so a red-colored drawings would have sort of fire aspect tied to them, while dark blue would be water etc.).
Over time the pencils would eventually break and you'd need to find magic sharpeners to sharpen them (until they completely run out, which could or could not take a while) so one pencil would not last you for the entire game.
Paintbrushes could also be a thing (which would require paint), and endgame would probably feature drawing styluses, but that'd be stretching it, maybe.

What genre would it be? I dunno, could be an RPG, could be a puzzle game, could be a strategy for all I know and care. But I would really like to see this (slightly comedic) concept incorporated into some game.

Also a bit more complete version:

... That might just be the most terrifying thing I've seen this week.

In other news, I'm super stoked because I managed to code an original program. I used google very liberally for things I couldn't figure out, and overall it's extremely simplistic, but I'm just excited that I figured it out. It's a program that generates Roman-esque names from three lists of butchered parts from actual Roman names (and things that sounded good). Some examples include : Sicletus, Osillo, Oappiuio, Gratona, Druvitius, Flornelia, Quibrio, Eglara, Egluae, and Floviius. This should be helpful for that potential project I keep making stuff for but don't want to commit to just yet.
edit: I just generated the name Tibia. It's a prophecy, I say!
Also, I almost forgot that I made an assassin.

Also ShadowHammer, I suggest you use references for drawing pretty much anything, especially tricksy stuff like dinos. In this case, the limbs look incredibly bulky and humanlike, not exactly the trademark of a speedy little devil like the velociraptor.

Also re: references, i'm probably an idiot in that i don't like to take references, and rarely ever do so except when i'm explicitly practicing the drawing of a particularly difficult thing (HAAAAAAAAAAAAANDS), or if i'm genuinely stumped about how something actually looks. I have a reason for this though, i don't want to be dependent on references at all. My short term memory isn't always super fantastic, and if i'm taking references, i CONSTANTLY have to check if i'm placing lines the right way, which is a right pain when i'm trying to get in the proper doodling mojo. :P

Nice-looking mage!  The whole tribal(?) mask theme is very interesting-  is that a part of the backstory?  A feral tribe, who made use of what they could to survive, and after discovering magic, used it like any other tool or weapon?  In any case, the image is thought-evoking.

Would say it's a Gun Francisco one, but the limbs speak against it. I tried a new drawing technique when drawing that though (new to me anyway ie. sketch a skeleton with the spine, joint and all that, stickman-style, then flesh the shapes out then draw over it. Simple but works for me)

I didn't really expect it to be related to Halo, but I was just kinda getting a bit of that vibe from it. As for the mage, the backstory is not nearly so exciting. In all truth, I just thought that masks would be cool for at least one class to wear, and didn't put much more thought into it than that. However, there is a small island off the mainland on the region this is all in, so I might just have something to work with now.

Post by: Bauglir on May 05, 2014, 12:51:59 pm
Hm... probably need to paint in edges of fabric and such with a higher-hardness brush. Edges look too blurry, and you need discontinuities for folds, basically. Especially on those pants, with the raised leg. Functionally, that's very similar to a very large fold, where the lighting and shading is going to make the difference where you can't do it by just drawing the shape, thanks to perspective and suchlike.

Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Bauglir on May 06, 2014, 12:55:24 am
Ah, by discontinuities I mean places where a shade suddenly stops. Basically, if you're looking at a fold, the lighting at its most raised edge is probably going to be different from the lighting on the fabric immediately behind it.

Here's (https://i.imgur.com/f6tPzAx.jpg) a really extreme example in pretty much every respect (your fabric is neither this wrinkly nor this shiny, but its wrinkles are liable to be less flowing as well - these are really folds, but those are basically just overblown wrinkles, if you think about it).

So, in cyan is the subtlest thing - you can see from lower down that that's an edge continuing up, but the lighting isn't so strong as to give it a hard line. But your eye can still follow it because the lighting on the upper surface is lighter than on the lower, because they're at different places in space, even if they're adjacent in the image.

In green, you've got highlights. Nothing particularly fancy, that's just how wrinkles look when you can see both sides of the peak because you're looking at it top-down, and it doesn't flop back over itself.

In blue, you've got a more sharply defined edge than the one in cyan. That's what you wind up with when the lighting on the fold starts to go to shadow from your perspective, but the fabric directly behind it is fully lit.

Note that I am bad at explaining things because I haven't had a formal art education that involved this kind of thing since the 10th grade, and I spent most of that playing Scorched Earth 2000. So if my terminology is confusing or something, let me know. Also, in your improved version, it looks like he's lit from below - is that intentional? The lightest parts of his uniform are the bottom edges, and his leg seems to cast a shadow upward. I think the perspective on that shadow could also use some lining up with that of the edge of the leg itself - that shadow is literally the only thing telling your brain how long his thigh is, and right now it feels off, like it's at an impossible angle or something.

I still push onward in my world-building (the war-mages have a better back story, although not finished).
This time in the form of human clothing. The setting is pseudo-Roman fantasy, so the clothes have to look the part.

I was watching a movie during class when I had this idea, and I drew out a slightly more humanly proportioned picture for it.

I really like all three of those pictures, coolio. Just a slight nitpick, though: the 'summer' guy's laurels are hard to see because they're the same colour as his hair. Unless, of course, the laurels are actually a braid, in which case it's perfectly fine.

Fakeedit: looking closer, I'm now pretty sure it's a braid.

I spent some more time in the code mines today, and I think the results (https://i.imgur.com/Wn2HlnP.png) were pretty worthwhile, although a new bug has crept in. You may notice an empty white space toward the bottom, which is there because the program somehow managed to miss the canvas entirely. That glyph is somewhere about a thousand pixels south of its friends. So I'll have to fix that at some point.

also i tried giving wienerdragon some colour and shading

Those limbs are absolutely terrible. :I (also worth noting is that wienerdragon isn't much bigger than an average large dog)
I tried using pressure sensitive opacity for the shading, but in retrospect, it would probably have been easier for me not to, given that i'm used to a different way of shading.

Hence the "Test" part. And of course I plan on making it functional. I mean, why else would you make a giant, 7 foot tall bow? And most of the shaping is going to be done with a spokeshave. Probably the most annoying part is going to be getting the taper, because a seven and a half foot board isn't going to play nice on a bandsaw.

I could only Identify what I think are the gaping dragon and the moonglow (whatever two words they smashed together) moth. Maybe that's because I'm still in blighttown.
I've got hundreds of hours on that game and I'm not sure what most of those are. Is that Taurus demon in the top row with the horns?!

In order from left to right, starting from the top row, they are a Bat-Winged Demon, a Capra Demon, a Taurus Demon, an Asylum Demon, a Centipede Demon, a Man-Eater Shell, Seath the Scaleless, a Crystal Golem, a Gaping Dragon, a Moonlight Butterfly, and a Pisaca.

I'm really bad at pixel art. Taurus demon looks a bit like a gorilla.

Bat-winged looks good but he needs his tail and spear.
Capra needs to be a bit thinner.
Taurus looks pretty good if not as ferocious.
Asylum looks okay, but his skin is not blue. :p The belly is the right color though.
You gave Centipede your best shot, but honestly he's probably crazy hard to draw.
Man-Eater Shell looks like a jellyfish, not right at all.
Seath would be perfect if his lower body had visible crystals or was a bit fatter, he had his wings, and his tail was visible.
Gaping Dragon looks pretty alright if a very strange color.
Moonlight Butterfly looks very good.
Pisaca is quite shapeless.

They're all quite good for some quick pixel art.

Math. I make the colours dependant on some random variables like distance from the centre(which causes circles) or feed a combination of some variables into a noise function, so I get those random lines. They are really easy to make actually.

That's a cool bookmark. The lines are nice and smooth, and if there's one thing I like, it's smooth lines.
as for the other character, that's not too shabby. The shoes are pretty good looking, and I do think that feet are always a little overlooked on some drawings. The one easiest fix for the hands I could see right off the bat is how the fingers taper down towards the bottom knuckle. Hands don't do that.

This is pretty good! I like your linework. What'd you make this in?
As for criticism, there are a few things.
Firstly, you're doing gradient shading. It's not a good way to shade because it makes things look really weird. Also it makes the non-shaded areas look verrrry flat.
Another thing is you're ambiguous and magical light source. This is called pillow shading and it's very bad to do. You aren't doing it too extremely like other newbie pixel artists seem to do. Most people have their lightsource come from the upper left or right corners of the image. Here's a helpful image tutorial. (http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p203/blackdragon_photo_bucket/Apple-2.png)
Finally, white is not a good thing to make the shine of metals from, unless you're making a grey metal shine, like chrome.

Here's a quick edit I made to the shield-bearing arm:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The lightsource is coming from the upper right of the image.
I can send you some other tutorials if you're interested. :)

On top of what Jack says, as i like to say to people...

(http://i.imgur.com/MU2n5Iv.png)

Contrast is your friend. Make them shadows and highlights count, else they might as well not be there. :v (although obviously the highlights on clay are going to be less shiny than those on chrome)
It's harder to spot mistakes with faint shadows, and i know that the smooth look that it can give is tempting (i've been there), but do note that reality actually tends to have rather significant jumps between light and shadow, so it's much easier to underdo than to overdo. Hell, you can get away with having the darkest shadows be as much as 75% darker than the midtone! (cylindrical case in point (http://i.imgur.com/UxeoFgD.png); midtone is 60% brightness, darkest shadow is 15%, middle shadow is 30%)
Sometimes you can even get away with having completely black shadows, but that's usually reserved for certain stylizations. Do note that if you use more than one colour for the shadows, you should rarely jump directly from midtone to darkest shadow.

It's pretty nice. The only thing is that the way it's shaded (which you may have changed! Who knows?) makes it look, to me, oddly flawless. I'd expect a bit of battle damage, maybe some discolouration of some of the plates. I sometimes think everything should look gritty, though, so take with a pinch of salt.

Two arcs. :v (usually the upper eyelid arcs a bit more than the lower one, but genetics make things vary a lot)
It becomes a bit trickier when not viewed directly from the front though, since eyeballs do protude a bit from the skull. In this case, you might need to think of the eyes as two orbs, around which the eyelids have to wrap.

Sneakedit: In your case though, i think you could reasonably get away with circular eyes. :v

Made a thing to test what something would look like. Basically the green thing spreads along the blue lines and the bluer they are, the easier it is to spread along them. The red denotes the order in which the pixels were assimilated(not the generation of the spread). The places where the red is more chaotic were assimilated out of order so to speak.

Sadly I programmed the damn thing into a place where I can't see it grow in realtime. But it should run in realtime. It gets slower the bigger it gets though. I'm gonna have to check if a different method of doing this would be faster.

A warhammer wielding dwarf sprite. I was really happy with how it turned out.

After making it, I realized something unusual: I had unintentionally made it using only two hues: 8 shades of orange and 7 shades of grey. After realizing this, I checked more closely, and it turned out that the oranges actually ranged between 21 and 24, so I changed them so that they are all precisely the same hue.

As always, advice and criticism are (is?) welcome.

That's quite nice! Somewhat close to being cluttered by details, but... Plate armour does look like that, and it doesn't really look off here either. I APPROVE OF THIS DORF.

oh yeah also i made this dumb thing a short while ago

Conveniently enough, that's also the most accurate drawing i've ever made of myself. It's still not very accurate. :U
Also yes, i have recently taken a liking to representing myself (or at least my expressions) as a generic dinosaur, partly because Mr. Generic Dinosaur is fun and easy to draw. (although obviously not quite as easy as a lone stickman, but hatfish and co. complicates things)
One thing that has always caused me difficulty, however, is to draw him with an open mouth. So, here goes!

Two or Three days of doing the outlines, then one day of coloring inside them. I then ported the thing from Paint.NET to GIMP so I could change the color of the outlines to the background. You can see the finished project!

That was me who was kicked in half.
Yeh. I was the blue guy, and he was GUNINANRUNIN.

Unless you're talkin about the other part where I pulled my ass over my head, in which case I simply grabbed my ass and pulled it over my head.

That was it. That explanation is far more straightforward than I expected. Got a name for that move? "The Politician" might be a bit too predictable, though.

No, not really. There doesn't seem to be any point to doing it, but it's surprisingly easy to do. Once I came up with the idea, I managed to disembowel mysef on the very first try.

Sort of. Layer styles in Photoshop. Duplicate layer with a mask of what I want to be carved in, then fiddle with a Bevel and Emboss style. Lots of control over how it turns out, though maybe overcomplicated. I just don't understand how I had such a hard time making things go down from a surface before - my last time fiddling with this sort of thing, I could only get them to rise up from the image.

I did a thing.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Wanted to try my hand at primarily a paint rather than a lineart drawing. Obviously there's a rough sketchy sketch of the figure which I decided to keep because I liked the look of it. Based of a scene from an anime, because I'm too tired to feel like trying to do original content. And I haven't done any drawing in weeks. Anyway, I like how it came out. Kinda stylized, vivid colors, the background looks like clouds. Could probably add more shape to the cloud background, in retrospect it looks flat. Probably overdid the water brush.

Took ~40 to 50 minutes. Listened to Killswitch Engage's End of Heartache album. Done in SAI primarily with the airbrush and the water brush and various shades of red. Wacom Bamboo TAblet.

So I've started to make a forge to do some blacksmithing.

Spoiler: Warning, BIGHUEG image (click to show/hide)

The charcoal will go in the steel brake disk. I wanted a brake drum, but couldn't get hold of one.
I've used a steel can to attach the exhaust pipe. I'm going to chop the exhaust pipe up and make a t-piece. The T-piece will get air through the horizontal part of the t-piece (either with bellows or a hair dryer with the heating element removed) and ash will fall down into a bucket that i'll fill to make a water seal. I'll use either bricks or cinderblocks to make a stand for it.

It should get hot enough to heat steel enough I can shape it or melt aluminium for sand-casting.

The anvil i'm using is an old anchor weight. I need to sand down the surface i'm using to make it flat, but at the moment it's just a big painted block of steel, so there's no point taking pictures of that.

Soon, I hope to make some knives and the like.

That looks pretty nice, though I don't think it'll surprise when I say that it's very much a different artstyle, and not exactly one that I really like.
Then again, I'm not really a guy who can afford to draw realistic stuff so I have to stylize my things a lot. :P

It's great to see fanart pop up either way, so thanks a lot!

hi guys

i have painted a scene that happened to me and my group in Shadowrun

ENGAGING COPYPASTE DESCRIPTION

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We were escaping from a heavily guarded building in a helicopter, when all of a sudden WHOA SURPRISE DRAGON. Anyone who knows Shadowrun more than superficially can testify that Shadowrun dragons are FUCKING DANGEROUS. So this guy's chasing us down, and we're not particularly happy with that, so we throw grenades and flashbangs at him because WHAT THE HELL ELSE COULD WE DO.

One flashbang managed to nail the dragon straight in the face, which pissed it off a lot. It then SOARED up above us, cast some MAGIC SILVER ARMOUR SPELL and decided to fucking try to divebomb our chopper out of the sky. Then it was like YO WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT A DRAGON TRYING TO DIVEBOMB OUR CHOPPER and then our mage had the bright idea to summon the most hardcore spirit he possibly could, which ended up being a WHALE SIZED PHOENIX. Just in the nick of time, even! He commanded it to intercept the dragon, which ended up giving us enough time to get away with our lives. The dragon beat the phoenix pretty handily, mind you, he was just delayed. :v (and our mage nearly killed himself because of how magic works in Shadowrun)

Pretty much what Gunin up there said. Tabletop system, based entirely on loads and loads of d6's, and is a delicious cross between cyberpunk and fantasy. This means that ESCAPE IN HELICOPTER PURSUED BY ANGRY DRAGON is an entirely possible (if a bit rare) scenario.

Hands are hard yo, just recently I have gotten past the point were they stopped sucking, that does not mean they look good but eh.
Usually what I do to draw hands (and postures to an extent) is emulate what I want drawn for reference. Also found out (not so) recently that trapezoids can help a lot making those graspers work, at least on the shaping part of it.

I have entire sheets of paper with nothing but hands on them.

People kept reacting oddly to me practicing body parts though, so I don't draw in public any more.

Anyways, just so I'm contributing something, here's a tiny pixel gas-mask.

I've been playing with using silhouettes to make people think I'm better at drawing that I really am. It's pretty fun drawing when I'm sitting around doing nothing, and it helps me stay awake during class.

Warning: Biggish images.

That was my first attempt. Someone noticed me sketching it on my tablet and said I should put a star on the top and make it a Christmas tree, so to spite them I put it on fire. Then I felt bad and tried putting it out.

Lots of wasted space, but it was my first attempt at having an actual scene rather than just sketching.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I got a lot of compliments from that one.

At this point I'm realizing how much I enjoyed doodling with my tablet, which includes a pressure sensitive pen and photoshop-like software. I think I'll keep doing this.

Made my own terracotta from backyard dug local clay and a Weber grill. Turns out the dwarves taking like a week to dig clay and make a pot is about right, realistically!

(http://i.imgur.com/i9tXkKM.jpg)

1) Clay slaked in water and floating debris scooped out with a sieve (photos come from different scale batches:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
2) Later, clay is poured off leaving heavy debris behind:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
3) Clay is allowed to drip through muslin to dry as much as possible for a day or two:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
4) Then the remainder of the drying happens in the sun once it's solid enough to stay on a board:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
5) Built siome shittily made trinkets as test items (the non-bowls are all supposed to be mediocre incense holders)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
6) Left to get bone dry (not only dry looking but room temperature to the touch = no evaporation anymore):
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
7) Fired in a grill. First left around the edges of the food rack while the coals warm up. Then moved slowly to the middle. Then after awhile laid on top of the coals. Then later surrounded with coals. Then even later more coals added and air blown in, let soak in heat for half an hour at least (this method made them bright orange hot throughout, about cone 04 I'm guessing, maybe a little higher. Something like 2,000 degress Fahrenheit, low earthenware temps). Allow to cool down naturally slowly.

In a real kiln you wouldn't get those black spots, which are from lack of oxygen where they touched coals, causing iron in the clay to reduce to an oxide that's black and hard to get rid of later. Red classic terracotta color, on the other hand, being those same iron impurities oxidizing into a different iron compound, when they have enough air.  High quality stoneware (fire clay, as you know from DF) clay doesn't have the iron impurities and so turns out white, and can withstand much higher temperatures, which are enough to vitrify it without melting it, making it watertight and stronger.

(I know it's weird to "reduce to an oxide" but it's not elemental iron, it's already an oxide, and it reduces to a more reduced one. I think. Anyway, airflow solves it.)

When you scale it up, you should have an option for interpolation, or whatever it is. Try the most basic one, maybe "nearest"? The other ones will try to blend the pixels together, which is not what you want for pixel art!

This + also only scale it up by multiples of whole numbers. Like if it's 20 pixels original, scale up only to 40, 60, 80, etc. That way, it can make each pixel into a perfect 2x2 or 3x3 or 4x4 block without having to blend (if you use the correct interpolation as well)

Actually, i think i have a sneaking suspicion of how people make things look super clean and smooth: FAST STROKES. Fast strokes, and uncanny accuracy. Fast swipes tend to produce much smoother lines, but they're much harder to aim. I can swipe quickly, but i can't aim for shit. I can only aim reasonably well with a rifle. :v
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Jopax on June 30, 2014, 07:28:18 am
That's why you practice making lines, straight and curves.

For curves you pick two-three points and try to run a curve trough them. You can do it from a single stroke or by taking sveral smaller steps. The important part is getting the hang of pulling the line steadily. As for accuracy (atleast traditionally) you ghost your hand over the intended curve shape, that is, hold the pen just above the paper and do the curve like that several times to get the hang of it before actually going for it.

All of this takes a lot of practice but it's well worth it, for straight lines especially.

Although i'm not sure how good it'd be for children, since there is a high risk of at least one page containing nightmare material. Then again, i suppose Adventure Time also likes to do stuff like that, and children do need to be scared from time to time. :v

HOW DO I STRUCTURE THIS
Step one: Choose random animal/make stickman (dinosaur is good choice considering your prior work)
Step two: Pretend you're Tolkien or Jordan or some other fantasy author and make up a lot of silly words that don't mean anything
Step three: Open a dictionary and stab random words until you find an appropriate-for-children verb or noun
Step four: Make all your nonsense words rhyme with the verb or noun
Step five: Make your character see the noun or do the verb over and over and tack your nonsense words onto the end of the sentences

ALTERNATIVE METHOD

Step one: Choose random animal/make stickman (dinosaur is good choice considering your prior work)
Step two: Obtain tens of nouns
Step three: Make nonsense words; each nonsense word must rhyme with exactly one noun
Step four: Make character do silly things
Step five: Make silly things involve nouns and nonsense words

Shook, that is really funny. Many a nut will be busted reading that comic.

Speaking of busting my nuts, I started a project a couple days ago. I found a thing on Youtube where this guy played an episode of Spongebob in reverse, and added subtitles for every line to give the episode a whole new storyline. It wasn't supposed to match what it sounded like they were saying, rather, he treated it like they wede speaking some other language.

I got really bored, and I found it pretty amusing. I haven't been able to find anything else like it, so I decided to make another one myself. It's kind of a pain in the ass so far to think of a caption for every line and still have it make sense. That said, should I continue working on it? I've got the first three minutes down so far. Oh, and here's a link to the video that I mentioned.

So, Paint.NET 4.0 came out somewhat recently, so I decided to give it a shot again.
I'm kind of pleased with the result or at least I dont think it's awful, considering I don't use my fancy tablet...Tho I should. (And you can clearly see how different my style is when drawing in Paint.NET...much cleaner compared to the rather dirty-looking Krita abominations)

Basically gumroad is this cool new website for selling vids and such that's super affordable because the site doesn't take a giant cut (5%) this in turn enables super cheap tuts. Now, a ton of artists from the industry has started making tuts and are charging a pittance for them (Seriously, there's one by Dan Luvisi going for 1 buck). This site collects all the videos on one nice place (because gumroad doesn't really have a search engine of any kind).

So yeah, thought you guys might find this interesting.

EDIT: Dumb post, I get it now.

EDIT EDIT: Two real comments. One, "vid" and "tut" just really irk me. The former because if you're not stuck up you probably only say "video" as two syllables (vid-yo) so abbreviating it to one seems pointless. The latter because "tut" suggests a short /ʌ/ instead of a long /uː/ as in the original "tutorial".

The other, more serious one, is that this "Gumroad" sounds too good to be true, like there's some hidden secret buried in their legal terms. Call me cynical, but the rates that they apparently charge combined with all the free services in return seem such that they would need to maintain a massive user base just to stay in business, let alone make a profit. But what do I know?
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Jopax on July 02, 2014, 04:37:01 pm
I honestly haven't given thought to the abbreviations. But I think I do them because they're quicker and easier to type. If I'm talking then I'm using full words, no reason to cut short there.

Also I have no idea how they are keeping it cheap, but my guess is that it's a small team running a barebones service and honestly the only thing they've gotta pay are the servers/storage which isn't that expensive nowadays.

Haha, wth. Thank you flameboy99! RAWR! Although technically it won't (can't?) be considered true pixel art. Didn't get a lot of love on reddit's /r/pixelart in the past, for example, mostly because of the methods I use and I don't really care about colour restriction. Well, in any case, I've just been mozeying on hybrid-style since (and avoiding going over there) ;)

Here's an example of a purist masterpiece that I LOVE: http://fool.deviantart.com/art/iso-castle-75849130 (http://fool.deviantart.com/art/iso-castle-75849130).

They've got one big one, and lots of tiny ones on stalks. No tentacles though so I guess this is what happens when wizards go too far with their experimental aberration/octopus breeding programs. No sense of right or wrong, y'know.

It's a robotic cutting machine producing a boat part - the part has to be designed and programmed manually (what I did), then the CNC machine cuts it out in finer precision than a human could ever do.

Just keep at it Nirur, you'll get there eventually :D

Also, awesome new group on FB (this is like, the fifth I joined I think, cool stuff just keeps popping up!) called Brainstorm. Basically, you've got a couple of these proffesional concept artists (one of them works for Naughty Dog!) who give these weekly tasks that are structured in a way that makes you think out and research the piece like you would if you were doing it for some sort of project, then they review and crit the submissions at the end of the week. Anyways, this week the task was to have some combination of modern solider and fossils. I was inspired in part by a dude who made this open topped T-rex feet walker thingy for scouting and such. Except I took to the skies and went with jumpy legs and pterosaurus wings. This is still a very rough sketch but  I plan on finishing it by the end of the week :D

Yeah, so BackwardsBob's kind of stuck right now, since I don't really know what to do for the next part of the episode. But I've been working on something way better, which can't possibly get stuck!

Vinesauce is a popular youtubemite who frequently corrupts console game ROMs and plays them on emulators, usually to interesting and / or hilarious results. Unfortunately for you guys, he also distributes his ROM corruptor to the public.

So far, I've only corrupted PS1 games. I have a brief moment of Spyro the Dragon, some Abe's Oddysee, some MGS1, and Spyro: Year of The Dragon (which has a very creepy moment in it). So far, the video's a little more than 8 minutes long.

Should I add anything else to it before I upload?

Anything I should fix before I move on? His nose looks a little funny, but it's only four pixels at the widest. And I think his shoulders are a little funny.

I built a battleaxe tonight to go along with my shield. The connection of the handle to the head is all wonky, but eh. Not bad for an hours work.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The axehead is 1/2 inch ply, cut to a vaguely axe like shape, sanded down to a point and rounded on the blade side. The handle is a 4 foot sectoion of old broom handle. It's attached just with a few screws and two plates.

The shield is also 1/2 inch ply, cut in a 26 inch diameter circle. Two straps on the back, one adjustable, the other fixed. The shield is lined with 3 strips of 1/2 inch rawhide, stretched while wet, held in place with nails at each end and furniture tacks the rest of length. A small rectangle of rawhide covers each overlap of the strips. It's painted to prevent rotting.

Dang that's actually really good.

I finally got around to a new pixel thing!

Spoiler: Guess who? (click to show/hide)

It's just an outline right now but wow GIMP is really good for pixel things once I got it figure out. I have a shitty cable for my tablet so I don't have any pressure sensitivity and it lags the initial touch but I'm pretty proud of this outline.

Anything I should fix before I move on? His nose looks a little funny, but it's only four pixels at the widest. And I think his shoulders are a little funny.

EDIT:

Finished it. For a first one I think it's pretty okay.
GIMP's great for pixel art. Example, possibly already posted here, and assuredly posted here in a previous WIP:

Indeed. The Valyrians were prolific slavers and built the roads to facilitate both trade and hasten the acquisition and distribution of slaves over their empire. The road network actually covers a much larger portion of western Essos, extending into the Free Cities and Slaver's Bay, but I haven't got to those areas yet.

This is the 21st human chromosome! The black areas differ between human to human, but the pink, blue, and white areas are common. The green area actually is no data at all, because the human chromosome is rarely as long as 2n. Each pixel is 50 chromosomes. The pinker the pixel, the more Adenine or Thymine the 50 chromosomes have. The bluer, the more Guanine or Cytosine the 50 chromosomes have. The data is arranged in a Hilbert curve, which helps pixels that are nearby each other also be closer, compared to just putting pixels in a line.

A fair bit of this one is based on the original, but obviously a few things changed.

Drawing and sheathing swords would be very awkward with scabbard placement like that, flush down the back of her legs. Something like this is typical for belt-fastened scabbards:

Yep, my old enemy perspective. I tried quite a few incarnations of making the swords looked tipped forward, but the hands were always in the way. It would take quite some time, but I could try and move the hands around.

edit: looking at the photo again, It didn't really hit me the first time how the scabbard is hung onto the belt by some straps. That might make things easier.

Close. It fires a compound called Zalite, which is very corrosive to organic materials, but tends to do little versus inorganic materials. The pistol holds enough Zalite for 4 shots, and it works by siphoning a fourth of the bottom reservoir when it's cocked, and placing it into the top reservoir and barrel. The magazines are highly compressed, allowing it to do this rather quickly. Once the Zalite is in the top reservoir and barrel, it gets compressed again by it snapping back into place and pressing it against a valve at the front. Pulling the trigger releases it at high speeds, effectively making a high impact corrosive bullet. In addition, the top reservoir can be further pressurized by slowly pulling the gun back (Too fast and a valve releases the pressure back into the magazine, also allowing the same motion to cock the gun) and hitting a lock on the back of the gun. This causes the burst to be more accurate, since it doesn't have as much of an arc.

The exposed "windows" aren't just for looks, by the way; Zalite, when compressed, heats up very quickly, meaning that in order to stop the gun from melting, several parts of the tubing remain exposed to allow the heat to escape, though detonations still aren't entirely unheard of.

And yes, I am overthinking this game.

No, not really.
But gunsharks are a thing in this universe, so the idea is not totally out of ordinary.

It can either shoot slugs, electricty or charged slugs, depending on the firing mode.

Looks okay to me. I dont kknow what program you're using but I personally find mspaint to be pretty good for making pixelly things like this. The key is zooming in and smoothing/reshaping imperfect lines at a pixel level. Like... pixelsmithing. Yes, that.

Looks fine to me really, clearly appears as a snakedude who for some inexplicable reason wants to have a boot on his tail. Going digital just takes some getting used to, since you're not drawing directly on the canvas, but rather using an interface to draw on the canvas. But, you have the UNDO FUNCTION, which is an absolute godsend that reality needs.

I'm trying to find a style that I like for these characters, and I'm also experimenting with brushes and blend modes, and trying to improve my painting method.  The first left one was colored while I worked on the values, and the right one was in grey scale, (the way it's supposed to be done).  I'm starting to loosen up again.  It's been years since I could really draw anything in a way that felt spontaneous.

These two are supposed to be mounted raiders.  I haven't quite figured out what I want the mounts to be, though.

As for your drawing, the only issue I see is the wings(which you've already mentioned) which mainly seems like the further one isn't pointing in the direction the body is. Is his cane embedded in the ground?

Yeah, main problem is that the wings don't mesh too well with the rest of the body. The right wing should be obscured by the neck somewhat if it's parallel to the left one (and it usually is). Maybe fix the position of the right hind leg, tho that one isn't that bad.

Also, with folded wings, the attachment point is not the point furthest forward, it exists about midway down the length of the exposed wing part, so right now your dragon's wings appear to be attached to his rump.

just google image search folded wing if that didn't make sense.

Pretty solid all around, although in some cases it's very hard to make out the details, especially on the third one. This can easily be solved with GRATUITOUS CONTRAST or outlines, although i see that your style doesn't make use of outlines (which is also totally okay). Forgive my brevity, i am tired and it's messing with my head. :I

also i fiddled a bit more with gentledragon and hopefully the wings are slightly less shitty now

It could also very easily be argued that those wings are far too small to carry him, but hey, dragons have jetpacks nowadays, right?

So I found a dwarven god in DF who's name literally translates to "The Pack of Twigs" and is the god of seasons, most often depicted as a male dwarf. It made for a neat little image of the god and it's also pretty hilarious of a name.

Anyway, doodled a rough concept of the image in my head. Not nearly as good as the image in my head, but that's how it goes.

You don't have to be good to post here. My posts are proof enough of that. More self-deprecation. Because I don't do that enough <_<

I suppose it would be in poor taste to share what I've been working on the past two days, seeing as it is more or less a shameless rip-off of at least two other people's work.

I was going to post another pencil drawing I found from a few years ago, but a reverse google search linked it to my facebook profile, so that's not happening. That and it is worse than the hands. Terrible anatomy. I've improved a bit since at least, but terrible waistline and muscle definition.

Aw, but shameless ripoffs are my favourite! Not to mention that the hands were pretty good.
Yeah, I use to self-deprecate all the time, but then I read the tvtropes page on compliment fishing, and was like, "oh. That's what other people see it as?" so I stopped.

The wrist of the first one bugs me because of how thin it is. And the shading seems off. Those are the two biggest gripes, really. That and I am still wondering why the computer decided to make those pictures so huge. They really aren't very large. Maybe about half of a standard piece of paper, IIRC.

The sprites are of kobolds, for use in Dwarf Fortress. I felt there were too few, so I took the sprites Sphr (at least I think it was Sphr) made and copied from Phoebus' dwarf graphics to make a fuller sheet.

The hats don't seem to fit right on some of them though. But it's both small and made of other people's assets, so I'm not certain if it is okay to post it.

Also, I drew a thing but then decided it was far too terrible to post. I haven't had time to practice anything...

'badass'

There are too many masterworks out there and even if I would draw something for you then it wouldn't show in any relatively objective way why they are better or worse.
But I can try to explain! I'll try my best in english. First it's important to draw long unbroken lines. It's much easier and faster to catch the shape if the drawing person at least tries to learn this, especially for sketching, for obvious reasons. Second, stop thinking in lines, think in spots of shadows, that's how objects in real live are made visible (light gives spots of colors and shadows). Third, shade or hatch along the surface, it gives a better understanding for the shape and spatiality, especially while drawing. Fourth, don't try to avoid difficult shapes like hands and feet. Don't hide them! Even if it's a quick sketch. It's also a known assumption that you can see a drawers talent in the way hands were drawn. The whole topic goes much deeper, though.
Two things I can only subjectively tell from his drawings but things that are important as well: He should start drawing from real life more often, not from photographs or other drawings (they're already 2D). He should draw on much bigger paper too (a3 minimum). Study anatomy by drawing a person from real life over and over again.
All of the things I said are optional, though! There's no need to do any of that if you're just scribbling for fun

and I'm not judging him – I tried to answer your guys request. Peace!

It's also important to keep in mind that the goal of art is not to accurately render images.   The goal is to convey and/or inspire ideas and passion.  Rendering is only a means to facilitate that end.  That means being socially and culturally informed about the audience is of equal or greater importance, and it also means that groups outside of the intended audience might not have a favorable reaction.

I'll just butt in on the thoughtful discussion on the meaning behind art and post this random thing I shopped that has no relation to the current topic whatsoever.

I made a custom desktop wallpaper using a far smaller image I had found online. Not my own work, so it's basically just image manipulation.

Eh. I don't think I'd actually use it as a wallpaper any time soon. Also the vector for the english translation could only be found in jpeg format, so the aliasing is sub-par.

Still, I did a thing.

How does the ground tiles look? I'm not feeling toooo confident in them. I think it's because I used the same colours for those as I did the walls.

oh holy cowbells so much stuff and its all amazing from defeeca's psychedelic stuffs to GUNINANRUNIN's pixelart (and all the cookbolds and terrorseals and tilework that's inbetween them)

Here's the sketchbook (That's how they are called in english, right?) artdump, with gratituous spanish and english, abandoned projects, semi-abandoned projects, on-and-off projects, terminology of said projects, solo drawings, demons, daemons, dragons, robots and a drawing that for some reason faded out ( :( )
They are on sketchbook order and chronological order, with pictures I saw as good enough, I still haven't finished the third one yet and its the step 1 to having a backup of these things somewhere (as a couple of the better ones went missing, sadly ( :( )).
They are in drawing order 'cept for set 2 which for some reason went and added chaos to the mix.

Set 1. About 3-2 Years ago (http://imgur.com/a/YhOfL)
Set 2. About 2-1 Year/s ago (http://imgur.com/a/VjakB)

I made a digital version of that drawing of an eyeball monster I did a while back. It's not great, but I thought it was kinda interesting, and I'm still trying to get better at drawing, so I might as well post whatever doodles I make.
The tentacles are definitely meh, I couldn't really get them right.

I love your style! That character is really cool.
One problem I can see is the gun doesn't appear to go in the same direction as its holster.
Also, I feel the arms are too short, but that might be perspective.

His right arm seems to vanish. (unless it's holding the pan from underneat?) I think his torso is a bit tall, too. Looks like an extra inch of tallness from his waist.

He looks alright to me(aside from the whole creepy stare thing, of course). His flippers don't seem to be very proportionate, though.

He's supposed to be on a tall ridge with some dull weather behind him, and I didn't feel like texturing the dirt so I just put some red squares there in a pattern to break up the color, but in hindsight it looks an awful lot like he's standing on a giant sausage pizza.
Pretty cool. You should've probably gone with a less saturated blue and put in some more cloud cover. I though that was the ocean.
As for simply texturing dirt, one of the ways I've found has been to get two darker shades of the surrounding dirt and simply placing dots of those shades around.
Like so: (http://i.imgur.com/YgV5PEo.png)

I like him! He reminds me of Deekin from Neverwinter.
His right arm looks awkward, especially in the shoulder. Perhaps he should relax a little.

Ohh, I see. How it's done in some of the examples I've seen is you just get multiple varying shades of brown and just do that shit by hand. I didn't feel like doin' et dat way. :v

I'm having a really really hard time making ramps for my colors, and my shading suffers as a result. Is there an easy rule to follow when you just want to take a color and change it's shade by perfect increments? I've been playing with the HSB values but it's a bit hard to do without making the color 'dirtier' or into almost a completely different color.

IIRC, images within spoilers still load, but they just don't display until you open the spoiler.

What I do for shading is just make the colour darker, desaturate it a bit. Maybe make it more blue/green. I find HSL is the easiest way for me to do this.
I usually lower/raise the lightness a bit and poke the saturation until it seems to fit. Messing with the hue can also help.
I'm not a very good teacher and my colours tend to be pretty dumb and unnecessary, so it might be best for you to find a tutorial. Like this one. (http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10695)

Post by: Jopax on August 10, 2014, 11:47:19 am
Well a part of the answer is that the background is for the most part two photos bashed together and then painted over. Mostly because the focus is the charachter and the drone so there's no point in wasting precious time (the limit is one hour) in painting that. And the designs themselves are fairly simple and not that detailed so it's more about getting the general shapes and values right. Something I messed up with slightly when it comes to the dude and his feet which look horrible.

Also the idea isn't all that unique, something I've figured out about halfway into it is that it's very similar to the drone teams the Tau field in WH40k.

Also also yeah, doing short pieces and doodles is all well and fine but the real challenge is working on something for hours on end without getting utterly sick of it. Something that I've accomplished only a handful of times so far.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Mesa on August 10, 2014, 01:25:16 pm
To be fair I also kind-of struggle with that at times, but since most of my pieces are extremely minimalistic (and admittedly repetitive from time to time) I usually get them done in a few hours tops, but I think I still have a lot of unfinished drawings in my Krita folder.

Thanks. I had the right arm sketched, then realized it was held to stiffly for a brisk walk and decided it would be better under the pan. I think you're right about the legs being out of proportion with the torso, and I've been having a bit of difficulties with that in the last few days, trying to get started on drawing regularly again. Guess I should start flipping my sketches to double-check everything.


Not happy with this. Can't be bothered to more effort right now. Need to spend more practice on getting ideas across through sketches.

Smearing is usually from you touching it with your fingers. Fading can happen over time, though, depending on where it's stored.

If it sits in a folder undisturbed it usually remains in a pretty good condition. If you can't store it like that you could always get one of those spray thingies which locks the graphite onto the paper. Not sure what's the name, but it's usually used for graphite and charcoal drawings, a transparent spray. That keeps it nice and clean regardless of touching and whatnot.

I've been here all along, but just lurking because I've done next to zero arting over the summer. Well, not much worth sharing/ planned on being finished. However, I did start an image that I plan on completing for my world building stuffs. Currently it only has one third of the Birds it should.

You could've chosen a better way to say that, but no I did not.

Actually now it looks really weird. The perspective of the right arm is odd. The shoulder begins in a weird place and the arm itself looks too short.

Whoops! Thanks for noticing!

I messed up pretty badly, thats what I get for not flipping the drawing.

Heh. My desktop picture is my very first dwarf fortress. Not a picture of it in its prime, no siree, this was when the goblins got through what I thought was a bin but was actually a stair, and tore all my dwarves to pieces.

It has about as much purple as that walrus.

My first decent fortress (that is, one where I didn't ragequit at the huge 140+ population rise) is still going.

We're being sieged by a force of 72.

My background (once I figure out how to get Nitrogen to start up with the computer) is a black screen wtih "Welcome back, commander" in monospaced font written on it, to make it feel yet more sci-fi than it already does. (My terminal has Matrix-green text!)

In other news, I had the sudden urge to make a not-shitty webcomic, so expect some kind of hopefully decent image of the main character.

EDIT: Alright, there. Designed the main character, Jeffrey Ruben.

Note that I intend to draw the entire comic in that sort of format. I didn't say that the ART couldn't be shitty, right? :P

Kind of hard to make sprites with limited space. Or at least, I'm not good at it. This one is only 18x18 pixels.

Still can't find any pencils at home.
Sprites can get pretty small.

Right. My sprite there is a bit larger than most other sprites used in the game, even. I'm even worse at large sprites, so I don't know why I said that.

Never mind. Ignore me.

Yeah, I sort of half-assed most of the hand since I don't really know how to draw them. Speed sketching is usually my approach to drawing things I see.

On the topic of speed sketching here's a globe. It's larger than life since I'm drawing it from a distance, so I didn't bother with making the land edges accurate.

dat globe

The bottom line on the globe kind of seems to curve the wrong way though, i'd expect it to curve "towards" the center instead of away from it. Very very nice circles though, did you use one of those... Circle making thingies? I can't remember what they're called for the life of me. :v

naw dude naw don't feel bad

fortunately GUNIN saved it with a quote

It's a nice sprite, actually! It is astonishingly hard to work with tiny sprites, due to the unique set of challenges that they pose, and 18x18 is really not an awful lot of room to cram an entire creature into (although it is doable, as you've proven). This is (probably partly) why people often end up doing the super-deformed style, so they can get in all the important bits (face and such). You did quite well in that small space; there are games with individual body part sprites much bigger than that! (funnily enough, i've been approached about making sprites for one such game, and suffice to say, the HEAD sprite is to be approximately 64x64 pixels)

Sure, your sprite might not be as small as those in various texture packs, but comparing yourself to others is never a fair comparison, even if you're on the favourable side. People have different art styles, to the point where the classic "apples and oranges" saying is applicable. It's only ever fair to compare your art to your past art, because in that case, the only variable is going to be your ability/the end result. Even then, constantly comparing yourself to your past self is just going to stress you out, so in general i'd advise against comparisons in general. :P

I'm actually going to go out on a limb and say that it's less technically demanding to make bigger sprites (at least up to a certain point), since you have all the room you need for details (provided that one knows what details to make, of course, which i often don't), you don't have to make compromises, and the square shape of the pixels doesn't matter nearly as much. This does come at the cost of an exponentially longer working time, though, so you just have to arm yourself with patience. :v

Well, it did curve away from the center when I was sketching it, since it was above me. I guess I did mess up on the perspective and made it seem to be on eye-level though.

E: also yes, i did use a compass to draw the circle :3

A compass. Someone was giving me crap for not knowing what a compass is a while ago. *facepunches that guy mentally*

The globe looks very pretty I must say. The only thing that bothered me was the two line things that hold it up since they *holds up a pen to the image* are off just by a little bit.

The wrist should probably be thinner, too. The forearm becomes smaller towards the wrist. Also the thumb should probably be more "out" or something. I'm not sure how to explain it.

Nightcrafter is that purely digital or did you scan a sketch and then paint it?

In any case, it looks really nice, I hope you have more of these :D

Also somebody, that is pretty damn good, there's some issues with perspective on the tower and the shadows cast by the fire could be a bit more defined but the overall piece is quite solid, keep at it :D

Anyways, I think I've gotten myself into a nice habit of doodling on a daily basis, if not my sketchbook (which is getting full dangerously fast) then some PS. Today  I discovered a Russian folk metal band and they had some neat stuff which inspired this doodle thingy:

Thanks! It was purely in PS. I'm trying to get at least a little bit of skill using my drawing tablet.

The technique is inspired by much (http://nass625.deviantart.com/art/Spaceships-350427099) better work (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOm9lkHS7Hw). Basically, you use a very light grey calligraphy brush to lay down a large shape, and you use the strange shape as a sort of guide or silhouette of the ship. From there it's filling in details and specifics with linework. You can see some evidence of where I ignored my shape on the right side, and around the fins on the top.

And yes, I am working on some more in a higher resolution.

Eh, hard black outlines don't look too good on floor tiles. It's alright on the buildings, though.  The floor tiles also kinda kill the perspective it looks like you're going for. (2.5d, like Pokemon, right?) Well, the sidewalk bit anyway. The character is pretty cool and I like the detail on the buildings! I don't see the water, though. Is it the green stuff at the bottom? If it is, then it doesn't convey it's water too well.

Well, when I say water I really mean green sludge.

I'm not exactly sure how else I would convey a sidewalk other than with hard black outlines in RPG Maker 2003, though. The resolution (16x16) doesn't really allow for a huge amount of detail for someone who isn't experienced at spritemaking like me.

When making grid-based tiles, only put the lines on the right and bottom side(or left and top if you're weird). It would make the black outlines a lot softer, I'd think.
As for your spoiler, yes, I do have a bit of experience with sprites.

It sort of looks like he's walking on the moon, imo. it seems a bit too slow and him going up a little looks weird I think.
Sorry if this is terrible advice, but I'm no artist, just saying what I think looks weird about it in an attempt to be helpful. :P

Stickmen are a bit weird, as you can't easily see which leg/arm is their left or right.
The big issue I see is he looks like he's taking single long steps while always starting with the same leg.
Here's a walk cycle you can use as reference.

Yeah, that's extremely cool.

On the topic of the stickman, thanks for the input, Miauw and Jack! I redid it, and although it does look a lot more like it's walking instead of galloping/hopping, I'm not sure if I like it more or less. As before, tips and observations are appreciated.

Good job, that's a huge improvement. :)
I can see the "clapping" look, but that's just stick figures being stick figures. Unless you make the "left" and "right" arms/legs end up in different positions with every step, it's going to look kinda weird like that.
Also, the clapping makes it look cartoony and goofy, which is funny.

Very nice! Although about walking and running, a neat thing i learned from Garfield of all things is that the faster you move, the more you tend (keyword "tend", as there are exceptions) to lean forwards. This is obviously more exaggerated in cartoons, but it adds a lot of swoosh to the image, since it otherwise looks like the moving person is walking with a literal stick up his/her/its arse. Either that, or do like Ed and have your upper body flail behind your legs while making a mad dash. :v

pew pew

Also if you notice a huge drop in doodle quality from me, it's because i've switched around my tablets and configured them so they have the same size to monitor ratio, which IN THEORY should make it less painful to switch around. This does, however, mean that i have to get used to this new setup, which has a higher sensitivity than before.

So I tried SAI's line and curve tools. Mixed feelings about it, on one hand I can get hella clean lines and curves. On the other hand the interface is odd and clunky, requiring the use of a button on the wacom tablet pen that is not normally in my grasp if I want to stop drawing a line, which makes me fumble for the button and shake the pen all over the place.

Was too tired to try drawing a completely new sketch to experiment with, but I did do a thing with an earlier sketch I mentioned here. Not bad, took 20 minutes and probably could take less time if I was quicker with the tool. I'd imagine this tool could be useful for future stuff.

Got bored of just drawing hands over and over, and tried something a bit different.

My scanner sucks though. Had to toy with the colouring in GIMP to actually make it easily visible, and for some reason it decided to make the image huge. Plus some of it got cut off.

And yes, the expression is almost directly relatable to my own feelings as of this writing, but at least it's not like it was two nights ago (http://shook12.deviantart.com/art/bad-feels-man-479230127).

I really like the way the sky is colored. There's a lot going on in this picture and it's pretty neat. :D

However, the waves don't appear to be quite big enough for the amount of spray around the structure. I can see the crest crashing over the lighthouse, but it doesn't seem like there was a wave behind it, as if it was invisible, if that makes any sense. Just my own thoughts about it.

Have been trying to make a nice Gothic tileset for DF. Wanted to go for something less florid than your typical Gothic font to help with readability.

First pass left me with:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Then I tried manually anti-aliasing it:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Which I think went reasonably well considering I haven't much experience with anti-aliasing.

The only problem is that the thin lower case letters make it difficult to read in game. Monospace fonts with thin characters always leave you with weird spaces between letters. I'm currently working on a non-square version which should solve this problem somewhat. Failing that I'll remake the lower case so that they fill the available space better.

Edit: Forgot to mention that some of the lower case letters need their proportions changed.

It's the one in Krita called Fill_Block, modified a tad so that it has no fade near the edges. Looks like this:

Yeah at natural resolution it's impossible to tell what it is.

It looks like you used a tool for the glow, you should try to avoid doing that since it creates unnatural patterns, but he's just sort of floating in nothing rather than being in a scene so the lighting isn't that big deal and it definitely helps communicate what he is.

Been thinking of such designs in the long time my..err, RTD has been stagnant, and also in worldbuilding.
Is there any program which helps you do this kind of art or is it all manual?
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Bauglir on September 15, 2014, 11:14:19 pm
Step 1: Familiarize yourself paths in GIMP. They make a marvelous way to get really precise shapes and stuff, even without a tablet. If you know how to use Inkscape, or some other vector graphics program, you know how to use an even more versatile tool for the same basic thing. General tips:
   Use as few nodes as possible for a given thing
   Use as few handles as possible for a given segment
   Make use of straight lines, the rotation tool, and the basic shapes GIMP gives you access to in order to keep track of geometry
   Copy-paste frequently. Whenever you're going to use a shape more than once, really. Paths scale to arbitrary resolutions, so that also helps with reuse.

Step 2: Come up with a design. This is probably the hard part, and it's entirely manual.

Step 3: Assuming GIMP, you'll want to go to Edit>Stroke Path and use that to trace your design, once you've laid down the paths describing it. I've found that the Ink tool can offer some neat effects here, making it look more like a brush stroke.

Step 4: Special effects. In my case, I copy the design, blur it, and then Colorize it to give it a color I want. Set it to Hard Light blending mode. That makes the glow. Then I copy that layer, render some solid noise clouds, Colorize them to a different color for highlights, and paste the glow layer as a layer mask for the clouds. Usually twice, since one paste is too faint. Playing around with brightness/contrast, blend modes, and occasionally filters, is fun here.

Indeed. When I'm making something serious I always do a rough, shitty-looking sketch on a sheet of blank paper first. I use that as a starting point, and the project grows and evolves from there within the program.

he is glowstick, isn't he? I was trying to avoid gradients because they're a bit of a hassle in inkscape, so instead all the colors came out a bit homogeneous. Especially the horns.

edittoavoiddoublepost: The issue I have with arting is that it takes forever for me to start a project, but the once I do I create a whole lot more in a short amount of time.

This time I bring a design concept for the /r/dota2 Reddit Creates a Hero thread. Essentially the hero currently being created is a manly (or femanly in my rendition) thief that got infested with light or something when (s)he tried to steal a staff from dota Gandalf. Now they're still a thief trying to steal artifacts, but they just can't hide in the shadows anymore because they, along with Terrorblade, are glowstick.

Because I'm making my first ever somewhat serious freebie commission of sorts. And it's a trading card for a game :D

Yeah, that was supposed to be ambiguous as he's this scary scary desert assasin always clad in shadows and whatnot. And since he's called the Red Serpent it only makes sense that he'd be a snakeman, or is he really just a killer who's good at marketing and special effects.

Sadly this is a bit too subtle and a bit too much to fit on a single card so his tail will be a bit more obvious (what an understatement :C )

All four of those would be desktop material if they were sized right. I especially like the second and third ones.

edit: (boy do I edit almost all of my posts here) I decided that since the pattern doesn't touch the edges, it wouldn't be hard to extend the gradient out to match my resolution. The original image fit almost perfectly, and it was a breeze from there. My desktop has never been groovier.

Talvieno: I don't know what to classify that as. It looks like a lower tech design. It looks fairly heavily armored, but with minimal maneuverability. Perhaps a long-ranged missile interceptor - if the cockpit had room for walking back and a basic living area. Are the red stripes missile hardpoints? I would expect such a craft to have more space dedicated to weapons.

Glow maps are easy - the software I'm using lets you just put in that it's an illuminating surface and it'll glow like a light source, with self-illumination built in. I don't think it quite matches what I'm doing, though.

Ack. Okay, thanks for the input... wouldn't suppose you have any suggestions on how to fix it? :P It's going to be seen from fairly far-off, but if you get it looking good close-up, it generally looks good from far away too. Usually.

I was thinking missile hardpoints, yeah... something like a heavy bomber type thing. I was definitely aiming at lower tech (if you're meaning cheaper to manufacture)... I'm going to be blowing a couple of them up. :P The red stripes are supposed to be missile hardpoints. The guns (and other missile hardpoints) are protected beneath the wing so as to be less of a target... Or at least so that you could put the armor between the enemy and your ammo caches.

The idea was a ship designed to go deep into a dangerous location (such as bombing a capital ship) and still have enough armor left to shoot off the missiles and get out - no fancy tactics or anything.

Also to be viewed from a decent distance so nobody could quite tell that it looked like carp. :P Like I said, on a tight time limit so I only have several hours to work on each of these.

There needs to be a lot more going on in the image for symmetrical art to be interesting. The chest and face are really sick but the rest of it doesn't really live up.

The tentacle things overlap with the hand in a way that confuses the perceived depth of it. The way both the knees are turned outwards is also really awkward. If it were me, I'd put something cool and swirly in the background, and possibly crop out the legs at least up to the knees.

The tentacles are supposed to be coming out of the palms, but it does seem like they're coming out of the side of the hand. I take it that's a yes on the "needs more glowy bits"?

I did him up in about hour early this morning. Line work was cheap, most of my time was spent getting the colors to work how I wanted them to. After that I spent about another 30-40 minutes shifting things around, adding more lines, changing colors.

are you crazy you crazy person that is too good to be a doodle

I really like the way you did the grass, it's super cheeky but surprisingly effective to only really draw the strands where the grass borders up to a different patch of colour. Also the stone is super good, stones are so hard to draw that it stops being not funny and loops back around to hilarious, because it's a goddamn stone it shouldn't be so complex BUT IT IS. The clouds are also quite admirable. As silly as this may sound, you seem to be improving quite rapidly. c: (and you were already really good at this painting bsnss)

How does one go about making a gif, anyway?
I use GIMP, a free open-source image manipulation program.

Basically, in a gif, each frame is its own layer in the program. To make a gif from scratch, have a collection of images, make a new file and save it as a gif, and put each image in the file as its own layer. You can make additional changes by renaming the layers, like making frame 2 last 1000 milliseconds by renaming Frame 2 to "Frame 2(1000ms)" When saving it as a gif, select "Save as animation" and gimp walks you through additional options, such as whether the gif will transition between frames where each frame is displayed as its own entire image placed over the last, like a traditional paper flipbook animation, or if each frame will make cumulative changes to the base image, the very first layer in the file, as well as how long a time each unspecified frame will last.

So to make that gif of shook's dino, I saved both images shook made as png files on my hard drive, opened the first image in gimp, drag n dropped the second image into the same file and putting it in its own layer, then renamed the layers appropriately (Layer 1 to Background, Layer 2 to Frame 1, etc.) and then saving it as a gif. I then went back and made it better by duplicating both layers and relayering it so there's 6 frames instead of 2, and made the last frame last twice as long as the other frames (1000 milliseconds compared to 500 milliseconds) so the dino's movements looked more animated than a simple 2 frame animation.

I'm only familiar with making gifs with gimp, it may be different with different programs. The general principle of each layer being its own frame in the animation should stay true though. I learned by googling "how to make gifs in gimp" and experimenting.

They're really convenient, and I've never had one not work for me, but some slap watermarks on there or limit the number of images you can use. It's pretty easy to find one that doesn't do either of those things though. As long as you're not actually animating something important it's the most convenient solution.

Jopax - gotta agree with the other guys, that's way too good to be a doodle. Those clouds are magnificent - so are the runes on the dark side of the boulder. Which looks really good itself. Something about the straightness of the shadow is a bit off, but other than that, it's gorgeous. Nice work! :)

Thanks for the compliments everyone :D

And I consider it a doodle because it took less than an hour and there was very little frustration, just paining the bad mojo away, I didn't struggle figuring out things they just came out looking nice. It was pretty high up there as far as enjoyment goes.

Also the shadow bit. Yeah, it does look iffy, but I think that's because I didn't represent the curve of the hill properly. Right now it looks like a flat grassy plain that just stops at a certain point instead of being the crest of a hill. If I had done that properly then the bottom would be this light shadow that the rocks' shadow would nicely blend into about two thirds down.

If you're talking about those tanks/cylinders, well, got to agree that they seem to be oddly out of place. I personally love those turrets, they look like out of a WWII battleship. Also, the background battle is pretty sweet. Little kamikaze ship with full-on shields, wonder what would its cocky pilot be thinking in that precise snap? Those thrusters, by the way... I'm out of compliments.

Thanks for the encouragement, guys. :D Glad you like it. And yeah, the tanks were something that I should've changed - they stand out too much. (Even though that's the thing blowing up. I should've used a different texture/style.) It was made as an entry for the Limit Theory fan contest. I haven't seen much on Bay12 about Limit Theory, but if you liked games like Freelancer/Elite, it'd probably be right up your alley. It's where the background came from (planet and nebula): http://youtu.be/4r6N7_HAsZo?t=10m25s

I think I recall learning somewhere that keeping the model moving every parts slightly all the time will make the movement more natural and less jerky.

Maybe I'm seeing something that isn't there, but I feel like at some shots even though he's moving slightly, he still seem a bit too still.
Maybe it's the chest.

I don't know. I found it hilarious.


I made a head mesh from extrusion, and without triangles. Previously I've only succeeded at making such things by modifying a sphere. This way creates a more efficient model that's easier to animate, or something like that.

Something like this?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Basic strategy here was, draw a path to delineate what I don't want inverted (this was the most time-consuming bit), Select From Path and copy that to a new layer. Then, duplicate that new layer. Invert the background, then on the lower duplicate, Stroke Path with the Smudge tool, with Emulate Brush Dynamics checked, an Acrylic brush I downloaded from who knows where, Jitter set to a largish value, and the brush itself made fairly large. Then blur, then Stroke again. Then select from path and use one of the other select tools, set to Intersection, to select only the eyes - hit delete to clear up the blurriness there. Then go up to the top layer, and Stroke Path, again with the Smudge tool, but with a smaller, simple round brush. I took a few screenshots, if they'd be helpful for anybody.

Stupid art trick: Smudge tools, when Jitter is enabled, act as a really effective spot blur.

I think that's atleast partially because  I personally liked the idea of the second one more so I gave a bit more time to it. And it's generally more interesting and has more narrative potential. The first one is just "magikbooklel" while the second gives quite a lot of questions, and I love me my questions :D

Thanks mate, and all ye other mateys for yer kind words and maybe thoughts although i can't read your minds. <3
Hopefully it's the baby steps to something bigger, although frankly, it's also pretty neat to not have a million things that need doing. Studying and Angry Laser Space are already taking a lot of attention. :v

It's rather quaint though, in the past year or so, the only thing that has changed noticably is the fact that i found the new brush in Krita, which made quite a noticable change due to it being... Well, different from the fat pencil in Paint. Beyond that though, there's surprisingly little difference to be found between now and then.

Haven't drawn in a while.

So, I uh, meant to be sketching a semi-realistic sketch to practice the human figure and proportions. Instead I branched off and made a surreal-horror sketch after I accidentally made the starting line of her nose too big. I like where it went from there.

The black lines and blue planning lines are on the same layer, otherwise I would've cleaned it up more before saving it. Don't feel like redrawing the black lines in a new layer.

Fiddled in gimp some more, found that by inverting values and inverting colors enough I turned an image into grayscale of either light or dark tones.

Then I played around some more with layer settings and opacity, then saved a hell of a lot of frames and made a gif out of it, because who needs sleep. Gif found here. (http://i.imgur.com/YioVogD.gif)

Another neat thing I found was I could use the inverted color layer set to difference mode and layered over the lighter color to darken the whole thing. The end result looks nicely different from the original. It's like I'm making my own filters.

No. But now I have. Neat. I'd be more excited and probably do things with it if it wasn't 2:20 in the morning atm and I have an 8:00 class tomorrow...technically today.

In light of the Don't Starve multiplayer that will be coming out sometime (It's in beta who know's) A friend of mine decided  to make a picture of the four of us in our group who like don't starve, as our Avatar/A Don't Starve character.
So we have:
Wendy / Eevee.
Wilson / Snivy.
Wolfgang / Small Wolf.
and
Woodie / Lemon.
ENJOY!

It is getting increasingly obvious to me that cartoony line drawings like these are FAR easier and more natural to me than elaborate paintings. Possibly because i have a greater passion for making cartoony line drawings than i do for elaborate paintings, due to a childhood filled with Disney, Donald Duck (comics) and Gaston Lagaffe. :v

Now that this was mentioned I wanted to clarify I was going for an eye-based image and it's supposed to be plugged into a bunch of cords. for some reason. Surreal art, yo, how does it work.

That's pretty neat, have you considered getting some coloured pens/pencils to make it even cooler?

Anyways after my last piece I realised my comps are rather crap for the most part and decided to give them a bit more thought and practice. Here I've mostly tried out different approaches to create a more interesting composition. From value and size shifts leading the eye to details and human figures to try and guide the eye across the image. Any thoughts on how un/successful I was? And more importantly why would say that they do or don't work?

Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Arx on October 18, 2014, 01:49:46 pm
Photographer advice incoming. I think most of it transfers.

The first one is nice, because the cave entrance leans to the right and the light shines in towards the right. The eye naturally follows it, signposted by the figures which is good, and then upward along the wall to the column, where the lighting and squiglly things that may also be lighting lead it nicely back into the center. I'm not sure about the bit on the far right, to the right of the column - in one sense it's nice because it gives a sense of depth to the cave (it makes the column not look like a wall), but it kind of gets cut off by the column acting as a frame for the main area.

The second one is a bit different, but I like it too. It has a clearly defined center - the figure with the white lines above their head. The eye is nice and naturally bounded to that area by the ring of boulders. I'm not sure about the angle, though. With the figures all standing straight, it feels like the viewer is at an angle, which may or may not be good.

The third one (weird four-legged machine one) is not as good - the buildings and white sky keep making me look at the horizon instead of what I feel should be the centerpiece - the woman (man?) in front of the machine (creature?). The bushes also break up the line of the ground that the eye follows along to the woman, adding to the upward-jumpiness, I think. Basically, the main problem I find is that it's a long flat picture but it has a lot of vertical lines in it.

The last one (tower one) is nice in a lot of respects - my eye starts at the top left and leads in nicely to the top of the tower, and the background details don't interfere with the focus - but then the rays shining downward lead it into the empty black bottom right corner, which is not good. The effect is, I think, amplified by the shining edge of the hillside also pointing into the corner.


I hope some of that applies and helps you. Like I said, this is photo advice - my dad is an avid photographer, and I dabble - but I think that most of it is relevant, especially to your style of realism/landscapy stuff.

The first one is really good. I'm not sure how to judge if you've accomplished what you were going for, but I like it. The third one is also really good. It has a great sense of distance - those towers in the background look both really big, and really far away. The second one was alittle confusing, at first, I couldn't tell whether the figurs were people or writing for a bit. The fourth one is kinda meh, the perspective seems kinda strange and it seems either too focused on the thing in the center. Or not focused enough, depending on what you were going for.

Coloured pencils was for the map, didn't notice the extra post when I wrote that, sorry.

@ rest

Thanks guys, that's helpful stuff.
The right part of the cave image, around the pillar was supposed to be filled with some humanoid figures, I probably should've given them more time with the highlights to point out what they are. So in a way the framing would be somewhat desireable to show a difference between the folks at the entrance and the folks coming out of the depths.
To improve this I guess I'd need to up the detail work and lightning around the secondary subjects, but not too much so they don't take away the inital attention from the folks at the entrance.
The second one is supposed to be a tilted horizon image so we are seeing the figures at an angle. I think I could've made the background a bit darker though so the figures stand out a bit more as separate entities.
The stuff about the third one is good too. I guess I could darken everything up a bit and then use atmospheric perspective a bit more on the towers to make them feel secondary (basically darken the sky a bit so there's less contrast between it and the towers), maybe add some highlights so they still catch the eye as it goes from the ship/dude. I'm not sure how I'd get rid of the verticality though as the towers are kinda a big part of the image. I guess I could make the hills more flowing to the left, maybe combined with some better positioning of the subject it would lead the eye better.
Finally the fourth one does have a somewhat wonky perspective, mostly because I eyeballed it. The idea was that you start at the tower, then follow the lights down to find the lower left corner with a person, which I've made low contrast so it isn't immediately noticed, he's hiding after all. Maybe upping the contrast will make him more obvious, or even moving him to the right/center, but that makes the comp right-heavy. After spotting him the eye can wander to the left side to spot the other towers in the distance. I could possibly widen it to the right and add some detail there so once you spot the figure you can go right or left before turning back to the central tower. Not sure, I'm pretty sucky at vertical comps since I never do them.

Anyways, thanks for the thoughts guys, I'll try and make a second batch today to see if they're any better :)

The first is a map of the cities in my game

The second is a map an environment map

Green is temperate
Red is tropical
Yellow is desert
Light blue is tundra (or ice)
Dark blue is river

Perhaps a slightly peculiar choice to hand-write ASCII symbols, but it looks pretty neat. Just how long does it take to make a map like that?

I chose ASCII because it's really easy to read and I had graph paper

For that one it took a good hour or two but the original that I transferred from a crappy sketch took about four hours because I tried to scale it properly then just took that and scribed it over in color

Yup, that pretty much sums up my thoughts on those games, too.

Also, this used to be my only way of spending play coins (lots of them on Warrior's Way in order to make some damn progress), but now that I have SSB43DS, I have barely any play coins ever for spending on the streetpass games. Darn 10 per day limit, I could be getting 5x that many with this job.

Ability acquired: Insert alcohol, acquire chibi kobold art.

I guess that's pretty much what I wanted when I set out to learn art, minus the chibi, but I was kinda hoping to draw something other than an accidentally hobo-looking kobold, to do more than not-even-try on the eye, and to use a different art style. Also, that sure is an oddly placed highlight on his right arm.

Spoiler: So this is a thing now. (click to show/hide)

Question: Which of the symbols inside the circles around the edge have I inadvertently stolen, and are they likely to have any unexpected implications?

Also, can you guess which element is which? We've got Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Wood, Metal, and Void in there.

EDIT: Hm, I've just realized that two of them are basically the same, just rotated and with a bit chopped off. I'll have to fix that at some point. Need to do other things for now though.

Clockwise from the top:
1) Wood
2) Void Fire Void
3) Air
4) Earth Fire
5) Metal
6) Water
-Center-) -- Void Earth

Edit: Wait, no there's fire in there too. Hmm, six symbols and 7 elements, I guess the thing in the center is a symbol too. I guess 2 is Fire and the center is Void, then.
Edit2: No, it would make more sense for the bottom one (#4) to be fire; and Earth does make sense for the center.

Here's that post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=98415.msg5663511#msg5663511), hope it's helpful! I can add to it that a knowledge of geometry is really helpful. Like, knowing how to draw an equilateral triangle using circles turns out to be a good deal faster than drawing a horizontal line, duplicating it twice, rotating the duplicates, and then connecting them.

When I was going to make my 80s sci-fi cartoon-inspired worldbuilding project, I asked a friend of mine to do some linearts for the main cast (which I would then color myself).
Took me way too long and I still have go back to fleshing out that thing, but oh well, at least I have some fancy terrible art to show off. I think I used a (slightly) different shading technique for every one of these, and it's generally awful in all of them, but oh well, I was never good at shading. :X

All made in Krita.

Well. I got bored and slightly struck by the image of an atom sized hat. What kind of atom would wear such a hat? Why,that would be the oxygen atom, the classiest of atoms, letting carbon-based life forms breathe and stuff.

I love Hotline Miami! Also, biker has bigger bangs and seems a little more dyed (It seems more greenish then grey-black to me in the pic) then your portrayal. Pretty spot-on otherwise, even if Biker is a little less charming then Jacket. Also, good portrayal of a Russian mobster there. Nice and thuggish.

@jetex, I think we may have the same sketchbook :D

Also lack of activity due to reasons, expect a buttload of inktober pieces this weekend (even though I miserably stopped doing them in the last week :C). Until then, have a WIP of the current card I'm working on :

The midground, the clouds and the foreground are still largely unfinished, so far, making it seems forresty is giving me trouble.

Haven't drawn in a while. I vomit up a sketch as tribute. Not OC. Just drawing for the sake of drawing.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Chin isn't quite angular enough for an animu gril. Meh. 'tis a sketch. I do like how this came out though. Tried tilting the canvas in Sai and drawing as normal instead of trying to draw an angular, tilted figure on a default not-tilted canvas. Does that make sense? Imagine drawing on paper, and you can rotate the paper a lot to be able to draw the line juuust right or whatever. I do that a lot on actual paper. It's probably why my lines are so shoddy in digital, 'cause I don't have that kind of control. Or at least I don't try to exercise that control.

I originally had more shading, but I felt the full coating overpowered the lineart so I cut back a layer.

Maybe I'll go back later and work on this more. I dunno.

EDIT: Bonus package, not anime thing. This was a doodle I did while at the dining hall one day. Been meaning to try redrawing it on computer. Mission accomplished. Even got color.

I only use inkscape to make these, which is a free program if anyone is interested in vector doodles. I started figuring out the mask and clip options, and I'm disappointed that I hadn't looked into them sooner. They're super useful, and a lot simpler than Boolean operations. The rose itself is two four pointed stars (using the polygon tool) stacked on top of each other, with modified square shapes on those, and then the shading hashes, which were made with the tiled clones operation. The circle in the center follows the same concept.

Thanks. It's nothing too special though. *modestly scratches head*

I've been drawing for years. Started in, like, 2nd or 3rd grade, so 7 or 8 years old. I'm 18 now, so that's ~10 years of accumulated experience of drawing whatever, whenever I felt like it. I'd imagine anyone would be decent at something if they've been doing it for years.

On closer inspection, disregard my blur remark, i somehow thought you had used BBCode upscaling and managed to be incredibly rude about it. Sorry about that. :v
But, now that you're already on to me, i'm gonna have to say that the darker pixels you've used around much of the outline does "blur" it somewhat. Also, banding is present as well, although this is a fairly minor thing.

I learn best by noticing mistakes before actually arting so I know it's a mistake.

This makes it impossible for me to want to turn in even a small piece unless I have touched it up a gorillion times.

Mostly, yes. Due to me being terrible at making an example, Google provides (http://www.pixel.schlet.net/img/spelunky4.png). As mentioned though, in Gig's case, the banding is very minor, it's mostly the blurring effect of the darker pixels near the lines that gets me; it makes the black lines appear fuzzier than they are.

Seems like Gig has done some more work on it now though, that is a pretty swell gif!

It's because you have a serious tangent line going on there. I'd move the whole word down, that would probably help more than moving the dot.

I did think briefly about straight up renaming the city, but I've grown fond of the name so that isn't happening. I'm adjusting the lettering a bit so it's harder to make the mistake, but after that it's up to the viewer.

Well, the map is done, and it's friggin huge.
*snip*
This is at half size. I would suggest clicking the image to attempt reading anything. Some of the letters are a bit small, but as long as I can remember everything's name then it's not a problem.
sorry but one of those towns looks like it's called anal in that font
That's what someone said in the last iteration of the map. I'm going to have to look into moving the dot of the I a bit more upward.
You could also just name it 'Anal' and act offended if someone laugh, citing that it is named after an ancient hero or something.

Because if so, then I found the term for what I felt when I drew that one thing (! (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=98415.msg5565942;topicseen#msg5565942)) I drew back there ._.

No, dissociation is where, at least with what I can understand from folks, is where you:

a) dissociate from yourself; you feel like you're another person watching your life take place.

b) dissociate from reality; nothing around you feel real and no one else exists, like you're the only thing that -is- real.

And I'm sure there's other kinds too. It's Very Not Fun Stuff.

Well, technically pupils are actually slightly sunken in comparison to the iris (which is also true for "vertical" pupils), so it's honestly not a bad approximation to make it flat. You could probably do some fancy shading hijinks to make it look deeper, though i'm not quite sure how.

It looks a his left eye is missing the brow, especially when you compare it to how you shaded the part above the right eye to suggest the brow there. Eyes are probably harder than hands because you can't obscure them as easily without changing the whole feeling of the picture. That why the majority of what I draw/ create is focused on the clothing over facial features.

I've noticed something pretty neat though; everyone in here has a very distinct doodling style. I know y'alls probably noticed that 20 years ago, but i didn't really think about it before now. Jopax doodles in a painty style (usually), i doodle with scratchy cartoony lines (usually), jetex seems to favour more realistic proportions and a pencil... It's quite fancy, really. It shows pretty darn well how diverse art can be, even within the same medium. :o

I've noticed something pretty neat though; everyone in here has a very distinct doodling style. I know y'alls probably noticed that 20 years ago, but i didn't really think about it before now. Jopax doodles in a painty style (usually), i doodle with scratchy cartoony lines (usually), jetex seems to favour more realistic proportions and a pencil... It's quite fancy, really. It shows pretty darn well how diverse art can be, even within the same medium. :o
and i have no definitive style but its always weird :D (almost always)

I'll continue making this more specific by saying that it looks rotated because it appears that the left hand edges on the front bit and the stock are aligned, while the front bit is a thinner rectangle.

Yeah it is, I only lassoed the outer edges while the inside is just roughed out so I know the general forms. The issue is that the stock gets wider towards the end for some reason which makes it look weird. Thanks for the heads up ^^

I'm making a hexagonal tileset for a forum game I hope to run soon, and I just finished the first tile, the forest. As usual, advice on pixel-artistry/tileset-making would be great.

Native resolution:

Enlarged to show pixeling:

Tessellated on a hex-grid:

The tileset is taking inspiration from Tolkien's maps and GlyphGryph's Battle for Bay12.

It's very effective in the context of a hex game where you want people to be able to easily recognize the terrains. It doesn't look like an actual forest, but then it doesn't have to. :P

Brown-colored ground couldn't hurt though.
It's small enough that it won't affect the perception of the hex's colour much.

I think a forehead monocle would be more appropriate.

Also I've been working on something that isn't art per se, but I'm still happy so far. To go with the name generator I created some time ago, I'm writing a program that will randomize what a person would look like. It's text only, because let's not get too crazy here. I changed the structure of the functions mid-writing because I realized I was doing it in a horribly inefficient manner, so once it's done it will probably be rewritten.

Your... technique? is excellent, as regards shading, form, and so on, but the proportions are off.
The legs are too far apart, and too thin, especially allowing for the fact that there's armour present; if it's meant to have exaggerated proportions, is better but still slightly off somehow. The beard doesn't seem to cast any shadow on the body, which makes the head look like it's in a totally different horizontal plane. The left hand has a similar problem in that its position is ambiguous.

That's my opinion. It's very good though, and it shouldn't take too much work to make it truly excellent.

Also, could you spoiler that?

After ages of revision, going from paper to digital, back to paper, then back to digital... I finally have the design of two characters I've been working on for two or three months down.
(http://i.imgur.com/OfQNFIb.png)
I was originally going to use them in a game, but then I decided they're too detailed for one. Maybe a webcomic would do? I still need to revise them quite a bit: need to make the details a little nicer. If you want to know which one I was having trouble with, it's the girl on the right side: she was really difficult.

so i'm trying to maek gaems, one of 'em is a 3d rts\grand strategy hybrid with customizable civilizations and armies that i want to make on unity. i'm very new at programing and bad at managing my time so sometimes i waste what little free time i have on less productive things like making uninished stuff

these are some unfinished character models that i haven't decided if i'll scrap because i haven't decided if uv mapping them individually is easier than remaking them by editing the one mesh that i mapped already
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
also perhaps i shouldn't be so concerned with the fine details of the face texture, since they're not that proeminent from the point of view of an rts camera
You could go the Godus route of character style and not even give them textured details. While that game was really not very good, I absolutely loved the art style for it.

Ok, honestly, I believe its the hair making me lean a bit more towards rainbow Dany.
They look more...tidy(?). Like floppy ears ._.
Or maybe the eyes. RainbowDany has more ovalesque ones.
Or...or the chin being a tiny bit curved?

So I'm working on a joke game in RPG Maker (a very elaborate joke, mind, with some actual design thought behind it, for the most part) and while we do have a dedicated artist for the game, I did sketch one of the enemies, which is roughly based on a certain member of the Awesomenauts forums that will go unnamed. (as are almost characters in the game, which is very much meta and doesn't give a damn about the fourth wall)

Initial thumbnail:

At first I was meaning to create 'back to mountain home thing, with blue and cool feel, initial thumbnail" but ended up changing the idea into 'leaving the mountainhome for adventure at sunset' ship sails outwards with flags waving to the right side. If I stick to the initial thumbnail plan it'll probably look better, hmmm.. Not sure, but let me know what do you guys think? Advice/critique is always needed! Thanks for viewing my work and I hope you enjoy it.

If it was a photograph, I'd call it overexposed. The waterfall in the left corner is very bright - it looks almost like you made a mistake of some kind. The white outlines on the city look like somehow like a rendering error, which is obviously not great and pulls the eye off what it's meant to be looking at. The ships have no shadows, so they look like they're on top of the water, not in it.

The main issue is that you've tried to make the details too sharp, in my opinion. It looks like a picture that's been sharpened too much. The halfway draft is actually overall my favourite one, because the softer lines look more realistic.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.

I haven't.

There's a lot of really cool kinship systems out there, and this isn't actually all that different from what you get in Europe. There's the Hawai'ian kinship system, for example, where only sex and generation are distinguished. So your aunts and uncles get the same word as your mother and father, and your cousins are referred to with the same terms as your siblings. (Hawai'ians can distinguish closer from further relatives, of course, they just use the same terms for them.)

(Actually, what I worry about most is that this might not really fit into any existing system...it doesn't distinguish parallel from cross cousins, for example, which is very common.)

Sketching a character concept. Been thinking of trying a full attempt at a comic. Just, like, a one page thing, but with each panel drawn in a full size and scaled down so each panel has decent image quality and detail and stuff. In planning stages, no concrete stuff yet aside from a single concept sketch of one of the two unnamed main characters.

This is that sketch.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

such sketch. Much wow. Very detail. Such proportion. Much anatomy.

but hey, I found the pencil tool is more useful for fine lines in the inking stage than the brush tool.

During my free time during school this year, I've been creating some doodles on any graph paper I can get my hands on. Over time, I have amassed a moderate collection of these, and today I finally got around to scanning some of them in. I have 17 of them currently scanned, and want to hear any comments or suggestions the rest of you have. I have named a few, usually related to the limitation/challenge I imposed upon myself. I am interested in any comments or suggestions/tips you guys have, so please share. Some are unfinished, as (especially at the start of the year) each doodle used to take around 2 to 3-ish hours to do, leading to me finishing one (or less) a day. The unfinished usually have enough to see what the end result would look like, however.

I usually start with a 'base', usually a near-regular octagon or a square, and build up off of them. The way I did this has changed throughout the year, and the doodles are in roughly reverse chronological order, with doodles #7 -16 being from the beginning of the year, and 1-6 from much more recently, being from the past couple weeks. If I have any commentary on any quirks or challenges on a specific doodle, it will be in the spoiler containing the doodle. #17 is rather special, as it was selected to be made into a quilt, using white and dark grey. It has a few other peculiarities, which will be explained later.

bases are listed as [shape](side length), followed by any extras it may have.

Sorry about the quality, as the shading can be hard to see and my scanner seems to only export to .jpg. :(

I've finally got the bugs worked out of my text-placement algorithm. I believe I can handle arbitrary* widgets now. Also, I figured out how to make animations out of pygame's output, so here's (https://i.imgur.com/p6dc7qE.gif) the first 100 frames of a little test I did. It has lots of diagnostic color blotches in there, but you know.

*Provided they are rectangular, so not actually all that arbitrary. I'm pretty sure I could do an actual collision-detection thing with arbitrary shapes, but it would be hella slow and just generally not worth it for anything I've got planned.

...That's a thing I've been doing for years now, heh. Mechanical pencil master race. Only reason I'd use wood pencils are for quicker shading.

If I had any of my pencil drawings I've done over the years I'd post 'em, but alas, I'm at college without my hoard of "cool shit I've drawn." Maybe when I get back home for a break I'll get around to sharing some stuff. I like drawing with pencil the most.

A game I'm making. Nothing should ever actually do that, but having things move around serves as a pretty decent stress-test for a wide variety of possible static positions. It also suggests that the algorithm is probably running fast enough to keep up with actual demand, since that's pictured at actual speed (or close enough that I can't tell the difference).

I did just realize I need to write the boilerplate code for interactivity, but hopefully that won't be too tricky since pygame is specifically designed to make that simple.

So icons from a ISG game I planned. The idea was the character had had their heart replaced with that of a demon, giving them incredible fortitude and access to magic. The plan was a sorta roguelike thing. The character could take whatever damage (except to the heart) and they'd regenerate, no fuss. They could use magic, but it'd burn away their soul. Fortunately they can steal others souls to patch their own by eating the hearts of other people.

Is the second one supposed to be communist, or am I just seeing symbolism that isn't actually there? Either way, I like them.

It was a communist skin for a character I submitted to a skin contest once (mind you, the game already has a Soviet character in it).
Which is probably why it didn't get any further... :S

Don't you love it when you just make an animation that just looks... perfect? As in, it just represents the motion in the animation perfectly? No jankiness, no weird disappearing and reappearing limbs, it's exactly how it should look.

I mean, come on. Isn't that the best "kicking down a door while holding a pistol from the topdown" animation you have ever seen? Well, apart from any from the game Doorkickers. That's cheating, because the entire game is about kicking doors. Or apart from any of the animations of opening doors in Hotline Miami. Or Gunpoint (Though that's sidescrolling), or..
Criticism is welcome even if it seems perfect to me right now, is what I'm saying.

At first I thought it was a carnivorous plant with blue leaves and red pollen-thingy (forgot the name) that was having a seizure.

After reading your explanation, it does indeed represent kicking down a door in a very good way.
That is the best description and I am completely stealing that for the project this is for.

Hm. I notice that happens when one part stays in one place for too long. I'll try moving all the sprites in one direction rather then having some stay for a second. That would probably have a better effect.

I ended up making a fractal pattern vaguely resembling a bow and arrow in Apophysis 7x and after a lot of editing in GIMP which largely consisted of applying filters and blending in a second fractal, I got an image of sorts. Not too pleased with how the arrow part of it ended up though, since it doesn't match the art style of the bow.

Shook the first monitaur head looks like a small demon thing in that undecisive pose you get when you can't pick between one type of candy or the other.

Also finished another card, atleast I hope, waiting for the response from the guy right now. This one took a suprisingly short amount of time, tho I think it has something to do with it being relatively simple and straightforward as far as most things go, plus I had like two weeks of thinking about it to finalize all the little bits and pieces in my head.

Cloud day, eh? Okay. In honor of that, I decided to try my hand at doing some clouds entirely with filters and masks, and I think I've done much better than on my previous attempts. Proper stuff will still probably require me to do some actual painting with actual tools, but as an exercise in procedural generation this is probably pretty good.

how did you do that
In GIMP.

Render>Clouds>Solid Noise
Layer>Mask>Add Layer Mask
On the Layer Mask:
    Render>Clouds>Solid Noise (Make this one Turbulent, make sure you have a different seed)
Duplicate Layer
On the Duplicate:
    Layer>Transparency>Color to Alpha (Choose White)
Copy the Duplicate layer (which should contain only the shadows from your original cloud layer)
Paste this onto the mask for your original layer, then delete or hide the duplicate
Play with Artistic>Oilify, Noise>Slur, and Blur>Gaussian Blur filters on both the clouds themselves and the mask.
Also play with Brightness/Contrast on both the clouds and the mask.
Make a layer behind the clouds and dump it with a blue color.

Pretty straightforward, once you realize what you're basically doing (you need to preserve some of the original dark regions in order to give your clouds shading, which is a fact that had eluded me for too long, but you can still use it to contour what's visible by overlaying it onto the mask so that the shading fits the actual shapes).

You can probably get different shapes of clouds by varying the parameters of various things; for instance, bulkier clouds could probably be had by not making the second render turbulent. That sort of thing.

Jopax's cards continue to be spectacular.

Today in Pokemon Theory: Changing Types.
Using a rare form of stone similar to the ones used to megaevolve, a pokemon's type may be changed temporarily in battle.
This charmander is holding the Aquamanderite, and has become a water type. The moves known by a type-changed pokemon do not change, however!

Thanks guys!
I have to say, drawing on a tablet is so much more comfortable, effective and gives off much nicer results than whatever I could come up with with a mouse. Except when the tablet driver dies in which case I have to restart my PC...

Also here's a super-duper gigaplex version for when I add other elements to it if anyone wants to make it their background or whatever. (http://i.imgur.com/eBW3rat.jpg) It helps me do some more development by just looking at it a lot!
(for the sense of scale, the America-like continents on the west are around the size of, well, Americas. Some parts were subconsciously inspired by Earth but I only realized it after I finished the whole thing. Funny how that worked.)

Worm-like creatures always freak me out, especially centipedes. Any small creature with pincers or no legs, really. >_>
What were your ideas for the game play mechanics, by the way? SRPG or some kind of XCOM-like tactics system? Looks like you could get something Fire Emblem style with that design.
By the way, I think your main landmass looks quite like a very fat bloodhound with its legs cut off (the front left one was left with a little bone nub), wearing a small hat, having its back on fire and with a foot growing off of its snout. I'm sorry if this ends up with you redrawing your map because you can't un-see it. xD

Anyway, this is basically an introductory post. I doubt any later ones will have quite so much writing and stuff in them.
Since I'm new here, I'll just put up a few random things. I'm a semi-veteran forum signature/phone background maker (working with renders in particular, I don't enjoy using stocks) and 'aspiring' artist (I say aspiring because while I am very interested in learning to draw, I need to get a tablet for the kind of stuff I want to do and that seems to be taking far too long) .

Assorted signatures. Quality may be spotty since they're from all over the place timeline-wise. I'm very off-and-on when it comes to these things, hence why I'm only passable despite having technically been doing it for about 4-5 years now.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Two phone backgrounds. The images get massively larger when viewed on a computer because the ppi between monitors and phones is so different. I actually have trouble making these, because my normal resources tend to only baaaarely fit.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

These two drawings were done in Photoshop without reference using a computer mouse (since I don't have a tablet). It was an ungodly pain in the ass but I wasn't expecting them to look half-decent, surprisingly they ended up quite well (for me at least). I guess that's the power of digital drawing. It almost feels like cheating, but once I'm doing more complicated stuff it probably won't. xD

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Last but not least, one two year old pencil drawing done free hand using this (http://www.itattooz.com/itattooz/Scary/Reaper/itattooz-grim-reaper-angel-tattoo.jpg (http://www.itattooz.com/itattooz/Scary/Reaper/itattooz-grim-reaper-angel-tattoo.jpg)) as a reference. (Not that exact image, but a very similar one. This drawing seems to be a pretty popular one.)
Obviously the reference is of vastly superior quality, but I thought it was quite good considering I'd never really drawn before at that point. >_>
In case you can't tell, I haven't improved all that much over the years, mostly due to lack of dedicated practice.
Apologies for the terrible image quality and lighting. It was taken by a crappy phone camera as I have no scanner (the image itself was taken two years ago as well.)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ending notes:

As a signature maker, I'm a bit sad that these forums have an insanely tiny image size limit for signatures (though it's understandable. >_>)
Also, is it just me or is it impossible to stack spoilers? I wanted to have far less writing cluttering up the page but I couldn't spoiler spoilers.

I'm sorry if this ends up with you redrawing your map because you can't un-see it. xD

The game would be similar to Heroes of Might and Magic in...a lot of aspects, but I did have some original ideas in mind based on my own design principles, although I'm just doing it for fun more than anything because I probably can't afford to actually develop that thing. :/
In short though, it's a blend of a turn-based strategy with a role-playing game - you get a hero (or heroes, later on) who you move around the map, collecting resources and such and fighting with the creatures under their command while upgrading your cities where you can purchase and upgrade units as well as do other things. You also fight other heroes and conquer their towns to eventually come out victorious.

I'll probably make a thread for this soon-ish. I'm still salty over losing those docs, I had almost all the factions finished... :/

It's always nice to dream, right?
Ah, I don't believe I've ever really played the HoMaM games before. I think the only ones I've every given a shot were 2 and 3 on the Game Boy Color or something. xD
They were reasonably fun, but so overwhelmingly generic. Kind of like a 4x game with slightly better combat but worse cities. I *do* like the idea of the heroes though.
Truth be told, I kind of dislike games with no story. >_>
(Single player games that is.)
Hmm... I can see how that game concept you have could be really fun, though. A HoMaM game with creatures that aren't boring. (They've probably gotten better since the GBC days, but those ones were like: Dragon, Goblin, Snakeman, Hydra, Griffin. So boring. xD)
I'm liking the look of that worm concept page. It's a good mix of the familiar and not familiar.
I'm also really liking the idea of a Fire Emblem style game set in that world though. I've already got an epic story going through my mind just looking at the map.

Sorry, this kind of ended up as nearly a stream of consciousness sort of thing. I'll definitely give the thread you make a look, though. It sounds fun.

To not stray too far off topic, more random stuff!

If you rotate it 90 degrees clockwise it's a pretty common symbol for air/waves, I believe. If you absolutely must use that symbol in it, I'd suggest three small ones in a triangle formation. (One at the top, two at the bottom.) You could also do that with the rotated version and see how it looks.

I finally got a stable internet connection back after a spiteful tree took out my phone line a day before Thanksgiving (November 23, for those of you who don't care about American holidays), and I have a whopping nothing to show for all the time I had alone with Inkscape. I spent more time writing down ideas that I had instead of drawing them.

It looks kind of like pastel to me, but some of the parts don't quite add up. It's definitely a very neat style, though. (It gave me a sort of steampunk/fantasy england feeling. The tower looks like it's built out of some bronze-like metal, with a sail on top.)
Do you think the reason for your futuristic alien-planet is coming from the streaks of red in the 'grass'?

Partly that, yeah. Red grass, very thin rock mesa (or possibly a dead tree?), large moon rising behind the dark lower clouds on the right (probably just another wisp of cloud, but it looks like a moon to me). It's earth-ish but not quite earth. And it's so sky-focused, drawing the eye up through progressively darker stages of blue crossed by what look to be very noticeable jet contrails... Person on the branch is dreaming of distant worlds, I'd be willing to bet.

Oh wow you guys read so much into that, thank you, it's really something when people can make their own stories from something you made <2

Anyways, to elaborate on it. It's a purely digital piece. I've been watching some tutorials on how to use colour and strokes with more confidence and I've tried to emulate that in this one. Mainly by using almost 100% opacity, layering everything and using big swooshy strokes and shapes to give it all a feeling of motion. Also painting negatively (that is, subtracting from shapes rather than adding to them) is rather fun and leads to some interesting stuff.

Also it's Earth or something, the red was supposed to be flowers (like the yellow) but I guess it doesn't read that much. And yeah the guy is sitting on some sort of steam punkish construction and watching the clouds and jet trails.

The most glaring thing that I noticed about your hand was that the pinky isn't attached to the right edge of the hand. Also, the right edge could use a little outward curve to it, because hands have a little shape like that, and tapering towards the base of the palm distinguishes the wrist better. Otherwise that's fairly solid construction wise.

I can draw okay-ish hands now, after spending something like eight hours doing little but sketch my left hand in various poses. I also find drawing skeleton hands helps nail down proportion and joints.

Is this just with pencil? Also, did you use cross-hatching on the planet's surface? I'm trying to get better at drawing by hand.

I think it looks pretty great, just that he might be a bit high up for smoke to appear that way.

Post by: ShadowHammer on December 17, 2014, 11:17:21 pm
It is indeed just with pencil, and I did use crosshatching on the planet, although I blended it quite a bit with finger-smudging, too.

I considered the fact that smoke doesn't actually billow in space, but then I thought, "Well I don't want to redraw this just because of something tiny like scientific accuracy (pssh!), so oh well."
On the other hand, depth perception is kind of weird looking at planets from space, and
Spoiler: this (click to show/hide)
is what the earth looks like from the ISS, which is only about 4 times higher than the edge of space. The atmosphere on the planet in my picture seems to be significantly thicker than Earth's is, so it's possible that the craft has already re-entered.
A rather sketchy pixel-measurement in paint.net, along with some quick calculations, shows that this planet seems to have a atmosphere:planet ratio about 8-10 times that of earth; if this is the case, I think that the ship would probably be somewhere in the upper atmosphere. However, that could be off by quite a bit, especially considering I didn't draw the curve of the planet perfectly circular.

Either way, thanks for the feedback, and I hope that getting better at drawing goes well for you!

I'm teaching myself cross-hatching, its working out not unwell. c: How does smudging work exactly?

Yeah I would've done the same thing. :3 It's no big deal, call it a surrealist piece!

Currently working on my Minecraft cathedral's fence. God, even projects that are only large-ish, on superflat and in creative mode take foreeeeever when you have to place each block individually. It gets even worse because I'm the kind of person who'll do a massive wall, and then tear it down because I think it will look better in wood... Only to change my mind and do it all over again.
Also, I tend to really dislike something unless it is either perfectly symmetrical, or mirrored/inverted in a meaningful way while still having a symmetrical shape (e.g. blue is opposite red, water is opposite lava, so on.)

I'd like to note that this is nowhere near done, and everything is subject to change... For better or worse.

Now that I'm home for the holidays I have access to all my old pencil sketches I've made over the years. Photo quality is "eh" because all I have is a cell phone cam and lousy lighting and on some drawings my lines and values could stand to be darkened and some sketches are incomplete or messy but whatever here you go guys.

All these were probably done in the last 2 or 3 years. Subject varies from doodling and original concepts art to fanart to sci-fi or surreal stuff to anime to, ugh, ponies. Viewer discretion is advised. 38 photos total. I probably have more worth sharing but this is the stuff I found quickly.

That's a fair enough connection to make. The picture is of Wanta, who is a shaman/ witch doctor type of character in Dead Island: Epidemic. I also killed two birds with one stone by both discovering how to get some nice tapered lines in Inkscape, and used them to replace the shading that was giving me a hassle. I got rid of nearly all the color, in truth. I might make another version using the outlines as well as color. We will see.

Too avoid straying too far off topic... Ah, whatever. I'll make up for it later. This construction is making amazing progress now that I don't need to place and remove every single block individually, so I should have some new pics soon.

Ohh, you have noooo idea. I've finally bothered to get an editing tool so I'm progressing leaps and bounds, but up until like 8 hours ago I had to place (and remove) every. Single. Block. By. Hand. It took SO long. Add that to the fact that I'm doing this off the top of my head and have no schematics or the like (though I do have a general idea of what I want) as well as my tendency to think "Hmm, maybe this massive chunk of architecture would look better if I moved it two blocks to the right... Nope, back to where it was before." and I'm pretty surprised the project has even gotten this far. Where the patience comes from, I have no idea. Maybe it's from a desire to actually make something cool in Minecraft for once. xD


In regards to the Patrieagle, I'd say you've got a pretty decent sense of movement. The line work isn't too horrendous, though I think the Eagle's beak looks a little bit blunt. Its appearance really isn't helped by having a crayon texture. Then again, I just hate crayon so it's probably my bias. >_>


Update to the cathedral, I've done a little bit of work on the interior decor and placed some enormous windows to let in the light, and I've gotten the shape down for all of the roof save the back. Now I just need to think of something interesting to do with it... My bet is it's going to have something to do with glass. Lots and lots of glass.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My eventual plan is, once I'm done making the cathedral and its surrounding courtyard+walls, to save it as a schematic using WorldEdit and then transferring it into a normal MC save. When it's in there, I'll put it on top of an enormous floating island with water and lava waterfalls flowing off it (through the cathedral) over a massive lake. Try to find a texture pack that truly compliments it, and admire it in all its glory. After which, backup the save file and then uninstall Minecraft.

In regards to the Patrieagle, I'd say you've got a pretty decent sense of movement. The line work isn't too horrendous, though I think the Eagle's beak looks a little bit blunt. Its appearance really isn't helped by having a crayon texture. Then again, I just hate crayon so it's probably my bias. >_>
It was a 10 minute doodle, so i'm not surprised that there are some cockups. :v
Beak looking blunt, yes, i totally agree, but i couldn't be bothered to fix it. As for the crayon texture, i assume you mean the "colouring" inside the lines, which probably looks terrible because of how exceedingly lazily it's done. Normally i'd clean up the lines so i could do fill colouring, but that takes a lot more effort than just scribbling down some scribble that says "THIS AREA IS SUPPOSED TO BE YELLOW, PLEASE IMAGINE IT BEING SO". Add in the fact that i had NO idea how to draw eagle plumage, and you have one fairly ugly piece of texturing. But hey, ugly as it may be, it was fun to make. :P

Also holy crud that cathedral is shaping up to be awesome! Please do keep us updated, maybe even make a video/montage once it's done so people can see every nook and cranny.

Update to the cathedral, I've done a little bit of work on the interior decor and placed some enormous windows to let in the light, and I've gotten the shape down for all of the roof save the back. Now I just need to think of something interesting to do with it... My bet is it's going to have something to do with glass. Lots and lots of glass.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My eventual plan is, once I'm done making the cathedral and its surrounding courtyard+walls, to save it as a schematic using WorldEdit and then transferring it into a normal MC save. When it's in there, I'll put it on top of an enormous floating island with water and lava waterfalls flowing off it (through the cathedral) over a massive lake. Try to find a texture pack that truly compliments it, and admire it in all its glory. After which, backup the save file and then uninstall Minecraft. (Not really, but it would be a pretty neat touch.)
If I may give some advice: You need a lot more details. the little things. especially on the cathedral itself it's very boxy and plain. While it's a pretty good structure you need more to make it pop. If you catch my drift. I do a lot of building in MC (well not recently because my group is SOOO FUCKING SLOW) and from what i've seen that's pretty undetailed.

However, don't get the impression I think it's bad! It's very good, it's got all the right ideas. It just needs STUFF to fill in the big empty spaces of... other stuff. That of course it my opinion, you may feel differently!

Yeah, the reason it's so boxy and plain is because I had only just finished building the skeleton of the roof at that point. I intend on doing some interesting stuff with glass to make it pop more.

If you want to build stuff, maybe give a look into Westeroscraft? (Well, you should probably already know about that, but it's a pretty epic project that I want to bring some attention to regardless.)

UPDATE:

I've done a fair amount of work on making the roof more interesting. (The front part at least. the top's still just flat quartz.)
All I really need to do to finish that area off is put something in the flat part at the front. I'm not sure if I'll do a giant crucifix or something else.
The second stained glass window for the side walls is complete. Both of those are mirrored on the other side, by the way. (I love being able to copy and paste so much...)
I'm currently thinking about ditching the Lava/Water motif I have going right now and just going with pure water. It'll take a few corrections (changing the color of the glass in certain parts and so on. Changing the emerald trees to wooden (or wooden trees to emerald) and changing the sandstone to quartz etc. It wouldn't really be too hard, so it's worth considering.

It's not that complicated honestly. The farther it is, the more desaturated it is. The further it is it also becomes lighter, so the value range shrinks towards the horizon. Warm light gives cool shadows and vice versa. Desaturating warm colours cools them off and gives their complimentaries while desaturating warm colours warms them up and also gives their complimentaries (this is best when you place them next to each other).

Other than that study clouds and whatnot.

And speaking of studies, I felt I needed to vary it up a bit from the usual deal so I did a part study part cloud day thing based on a Monsted piece:

Spoiler: My Soon-to-be House (click to show/hide)
I quarried out a chunk (with stone tools) down to layer 5, and then made the four polished andesite posts, for the outline of my 6x6x65ish house, so now all I have to do is get more ink sacks for the stained glass floors, and slime blocks for the piston elevator (the stairs are only temporary).

poor guy has no ears though :<

If i were to offer a bit of unsolicted criticism, it would be that his eyes are a bit high up on his head. The eyes on a realistically proportioned human face (such as the face of your manly officerman) is actually pretty much smack in the middle of the heads height; one way this COULD be is like so:

Then the eyebrows line the top of the "dome", and the nose and mouth are... Somewhere below the eyes. I just wing those two, honestly, although as it happens, it tends to vary with real faces as well. Another fancy rule i remember is that the top of the ears are roughly in line with the eyes, even though it feels totally wrong to place facial features that far down. That is how it works though, unless you're going for a stylized look, in which case you can generally get away with less realistic proportions. :v

also while i'm on the topic of faces i doodled a face that makes me giggle

Never had a people-drawing class, but from staring at and doodling people when I should have been studying, I've noticed that (neutral) eyebrows always seem to line up with the top of the ears, and the bottom of the nose with the bottom of the ears.

The kite in the middle was made with a path IIRC (and then adjusted with Distorts>Lens distortion), and I used Render>Lava to make one set of the tendrils, flipped it and set it to "lighten only" to make the other set. Was considering putting a symbol in the middle, but it didn't look all that great, so I opted for a supernova.

Well hey, you're off to a good start! If you don't mind, here's (once again) a bit of unsolicted criticism/advice: I know you've labelled it as WIP, but i have to say that it looks a bit weird that the spirally part just like pops in out of nowhere. Might i recommend fading it in gradually like you did with the main beam itself? Also, depending on how the beam is to function (quick flash versus continuous raking beam of death), you may want to make the fade in/out times a bit different from each other. It's possible that i'm just a complete wanker about animations that just reverse halfway through, but i think it could be cool to have one be faster than the other.

And lastly, if you want to be super cheeky and add a lot of coolness, you can shift the entire sprite forward one length in no less than 3 steps* (so you move it 1/3rd the total height in one frame, and wrap the top around to the bottom), which, when looped, will give a neat visual of the spiral flowing forwards. Also, if you vary the brightness of the beam, you can produce a neat pulsing effect, if you want.

Spoiler: example of what i mean because why not (click to show/hide)

Please note that i am in no way trying to one-up you (unless you wish for friendly competition, that is), and even if i did, i probably didn't succeed at it. Hopefully it shows what i mean, though.

* I'm saying three frames as a minimum, because using a mere two frames for an animation tends to make it look like you're just flipping back and forth between two images as opposed to actually animating it. Case in point:

It's a quick flash, triggered when someone walks into it in its "idle" state (an animation consisting of just the first two frames of this animation). The actual animation has a shorter fade in time and a longer fade out time, but I couldn't really show that in the gif.

That's pretty cool. I'll consider it.

This animation was really just thrown together so I could learn what's what in Unity's animation system. Later animations will have a lot more time put into them.

Okay, I've updated the sprites for the laser animation. No gif, just the frames so far.
Spoiler: Laser Frames (click to show/hide)

No more weird spiral bit, just internal lightning style stuff. I was going to make the effects outside the beam itself, but that just made it look stupid.

For the animation itself, I've decreased the fade-in time, extended the three-frame "lighting laser" bit and increased the fade-out time. Again, no gif because I don't have the time at the moment.

That is super-cool. Something looks a bit off, though. (http://i.imgur.com/Ah1pqaz.png) Is that just a case of not enough iterations to be optimal? It'd certainly look fine to somebody playing a game, I'd wager, which is what it sounds like you're doing.

It's meant to be a guideline to a large amount of AI led units. It doesn't actually lead to the nearest enemy, but rather towards the nearest and biggest concentration of enemies, so a single enemy unit teleporting into the back doesn't instantly draw the attention of the entire army when there's a horde of enemies ahead.

How did you do that, if I may ask?

I assume you were talking to me?

Code: [Select]
    for (int i = 0; i < Tiles.size(); i++) {
        Side0Densities[i] = 0;
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < Tiles.size(); i++) {
        int x = i%50;
        int y = i/50;
        for (int& ID: Tiles[i].Inhabitant_IDs) {
            if (EntitySides[ID] == 0) {
                for (int j = 0; j < Tiles.size(); j++) {
                    Side0Densities[j] += B_InverseSquare[ DistFromHex( x - (j%50), (j/50) - y ) ]; // Precalculated, yay for removing bottlenecks
                }
            }
        }
    }

This thing determines the concentration of enemies. Basically it goes through all the enemies, and through all the hexes. It then adds 1/Distance2 to each tile(so 1 if directly on top, 1/4 on the next tile, and then 1/9 and so on). It was originally actually the basis of my lighting system (http://puu.sh/dQT1r/2895ac8f65.png)(and why it makes a nice red glow right now), but I thought it would actually work for this purpose too. After that it's a simple matter of looking for the neighbouring hex with the greatest concentration.

It's not very complicated, or smart, and I can't really control it very much(except for changing the power a bit), but it is a nice O(n), meaning I can throw exactly as much crap into the game as I want and it seems to have the correct behaviour.

It does have its exploitable faults though. When facing a big army of cannonfodder, units will nearly ignore anyone flanking them. But I think that just adds to the fun.

Oh, and I seem to have forgotten to say what it's for. I'm basically recreating Domnions 4 except with a hex grid. So no player interaction during a battle except for the initial orders. Everything is AI led.

EDIT: Fuck, found a problem.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Look at the arrows in the up and down directions. It finds the shortest path to the centre in this case, but it doesn't do the "correct" way of zig-zagging down, but rather folds into the diagonals. I think I might need to add some special logic.

EDIT2:

Ahh, perfect.

Wow...that first picture is really quite beautiful. I'm really impressed how you managed to mix your greens and oranges like while still pulling it off. The framing and designs are also nice...I'm getting some Astro Boy vibes. The second picture is also very nice. It seems remniscent of something you'd see in the southwestern United States. Oh, but if I could offer a bit of constructive critisism, I really don't like the texture of the clouds. The speckled looks really nice on the rocks, but on the clouds it detracts the eye a bit.

It looks like it's taking a selfie.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Anyway, there are now collisions. And I also put in a thing where when an unit notices that a friendly unit hasn't taken their turn but is blocking their way, it first does the turn of the blocking unit. Meaning that regardless of the order in which I start resolving the units turns, battle lines don't break apart, and you don't get random empty spaces.

Spoiler: Comparison (click to show/hide)

There is also a funny behaviour where an unit of one side gets boxed in and steps a hex back. The opposing side then steps forward and boxes the unit in again. This continues and the group keeps running in a random direction until they hit the edge of the map and cause the game to crash.

I think I should really be making a seperate thread for this.

My only surviving character in that game is the guy with whom I found a LMOE shelter, and he never progressed beyond "live in the woods, surviving off stew made from brush-veggies and stray dogs." 2 months game time and going, that's much longer than any character with which I actually tried to, well, do anything. I imagine he's grown some kind of giant gross beard at this point.

I've got a picture of my brother's character around here somewhere, a mutant cyborg who thinks it's a good idea to eat random deformed fetuses he finds lying around. Unfortunately, I think said picture is on the family ipad, so no means of sharing it. Thought he'd just picked up some knack for the game that I'd missed but apparently he'd just given himself a massive amount of points for character creation.

Since you all seemed to like this game,  should I create a thread about it in other games? More people will see it, at least.

Did a thing. (http://i.imgur.com/viC5hgB.jpg) quick sketch on paper and photo taken via phone because alas, that's the only way any of my on paper material will ever be shared on the internet...probably the only way. Anyway, took me 20 or 30 minutes, I think. Was listening to a Dillinger Escape Plan Album that's ~40 minutes long but I know I didn't start drawing at the start of the album. Maybe it was 15 minutes.

Maybe I'll come back to the concept at a later date and clean it up more, maybe redraw with a graphics tablet on computer. Want to try making a fractal out of it.

I decided since it's been so long since I last did anything creative in Minecraft, or in general, really; I decided to give myself a bit of an art project. Since I'm also not working a regular job anymore, I can devote more time into these kinds of projects (with proper funding from work I find, or finds me, of course).

Spoiler: Working out the measurements at a 1:1 cubic meter/voxel ratio (click to show/hide)
Dimensions are (based on Blender model and sketch references):
X: 370m long
Y: 65m high
Z: 260m main wingspan (-130 and 130 makes for easy references, where I got the project placed)
  Wings start at 100m from aft, might go on for 50-odd meters. Things are like football fields for wings. This is gonna be fun.

I'm using Sea Lanterns for every 1 meter, Glowstone for 10 meters, Redstone Blocks for 50 meters, and Lapis Lazuli for 100 meters. Slightly botched the vert (wrong block in image where 60m is concerned (+35 offset)); also vert is 1/2 measures. Upper X-measurements are the actual aft-main-wing placement. To make things easier on me, I've made sure to work the wings from the center (0,+35,~) so positive and negative measurements are equal. F3/Debug Mode really helps with coordination here.

I haven't decided whether it'll be the Excalibur (red, jack of all trades all-rounder), or either of it's sister ships Caladbolg (blue, built like a tank; armored and many guns) or Kusanagi (green; built for speed and agility) yet. Either way, it's gonna be a hell of an engineering art project. It's not only gonna be built according to the sketches, but it's also going to be laid out, room by room. I'm going for a rather crowned-tuning-fork (wings branch from the corners, and near the end. The chassis resonates with the 4dμ (4-dimensional manipulator unit) in order to involve the whole ship in the resonation of reality barriers and such for time dilation, portal making, and essentially teleporting the damn thing in it's entirety) kind of chassis for this, and use it as the main framework. I probably won't go crazy detailed, except for where it would matter (under-wing hangars, upper and lower bridge, with inter-connecting elevator, Captain's quarters, mess hall and upper-deck tavern).

This might take me awhile, since I'll be engineering it as I design it (Proper shipright code to ensure it feels and looks right; might consider some wiring in places, as well as conceivable plumbing (this ain't Star Trek; our ships need crappers and a sewage tank; also for use as proper "Dirty bombs" of the non-nuclear variety (mostly trolling)))); but at least it'll keep me busy as I wait for jobs to update on the bounty board (freelance job feed).

EDIT:
Ugh. I just realized how much fun I'll be having putting all the shiny red/green/blue paint on the majority of the ship. Thank goodness we've got banners. I can at least place reference markers here and there.

Spoiler: For reference, it's this thing I've decided to build in Minecraft. Just to keep me busy, at least. Still working on the Blender model on the side as well. (click to show/hide)

EDIT EDIT:
Command blocks are craptons useful (mostly teleporting; especially onto the ship itself). I just made a solar-reactive one that keeps the weather clear and the skies bright back at the spawnpoint, and made a series of teleporters that cuts the hassle of all the walking back and forth (no to mention, spawn point is a good kilometer away from the building site's zero-point (if I can see it from that distance, more or less, that would rock))

EDIT EDIT EDIT:
Teleporters are installed every 100m down the ship, and at the wing tips, to return to 0-point, and nearby 0-Point has a scale model of the ship, and respective teleporters that go to the appropriate areas, relative to the model (set for grid, ATM)). So now I have a mini-map for teleport purposes installed at Home Base-0.

As I add more details, I'll maybe make scale models of the parts in work, while keeping the grid-minimap, and set teleporters that go to them (bridge, upper/lower), L/R-Hangar, etc.). I might also build a mini-model (a larger one, more detailed than the teleport one) as a means of keeping track of it's construction progress, with different parts elsewhere as the main go-to points for critical areas. Maybe map that out accordingly as well, relative to the deck at work.

Hmm...this looks like a pretty good start, but how exactly are you drawing all of this? While your map does look somewhat natural, I can't help but feel the coast is a little too uniform. If you're drawing this in Inkscape you can select all of the nodes, half the number of them, then jitter them. I've gotten really good results with my coastlines in the past by doing that.

Oh! I wasn't referring to your map, I was talking about DarkDXZ's.

As a matter of fact, I actually like your map a bit more. When you zoom it out like that, you can take some liberties and make the coastline less detailed. But if I could make a suggestion for future maps (seeing as this one is finished) you might want to tone down the saturation a bit and smooth out the edges of the pasted mountains.

I mean, functional maps can be preety too! I'd suggest browsing the cartography gallery (http://worldbuildersguild.deviantart.com/gallery/29781850/Cartography) of WorldBuildersGuild if you're looking for some inspiration (I admin that group, BTW).

I'm using Krita and I'm drawing with a tablet. I took my original world map sketch, cropped it, zoomed-in and re-drew the coastline (it much more uniform before and I decided to re-draw half the thing).

After a (very short), I couldn't find any appropriate thread, so here goes.
Is there any way to actually use the overlay layer mode on Gimp? I would like to use it for shading, but nothing on the layer will show up. Multiply, actually, is the only one that does.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Bauglir on January 16, 2015, 12:21:44 am
Hm. What shows up depends on what's underneath and what you're painting with it. Bright, highly saturated colors on the lower level, especially, are not obviously affected by a black overlay. Part of this is probably that Overlay will generally up the saturation (which makes it good for shading, when it works), but I'm not 100% sure what the deal here is.

Are you sure you want to use GIMP? I tried using GIMP at one point and I found everything in the program needlessly complicated to execute, namely shading. If you're just starting out with image-editing, you might want to give Paint.NET a try. It's not as powerful as GIMP, but it's much more intuitive and easy-to-learn.

To put down a shading layer in Paint.NET, you create a new layer above your background, lower it's opacity then put down pure-black in it. Simple as that.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Bauglir on January 16, 2015, 09:59:43 am
You can do that in GIMP, but it's a bad idea (and presumably is in Paint.NET, too). Just dropping black like that only adjusts the brightness, but real shadows also play with saturation and, to a lesser extent, hue.

Sort of, only instead of the Earthbound Ones, there's naught but the planet's naked mantle beneath those clouds, because Imix is kind of an asshole. At least, if I'm remembering the backstory correctly.  The continents somehow rest on cushions of steam, held together by dwarf-forged chains, and prevented from colliding by... uh... well, there's not a mechanism for that.

Before actually dedicating my full effort into the full-scale airship, I had this idea rolling in my head since November of miniaturized versions of the airship/flagship for various forms of service. They basically are mini-versions of the ship, weapons and special-capabilities (mini-warping as well).

I call them Bullet-Class ships. Rated by caliber (Round-size). So, unlike the EX-Caliber (Or Excalibur), the Mini-Caliburs, are rated by caliber per-scale and purpose, also rated for mission impact as well.

Spoiler: Here's the 30-Calibur AP (Assault Purpose/Armor Piercing): A squad-dropship/Support craft (5-man, 1 pilot, 4 troops) (click to show/hide)

As you can already tell, the larger the -Calibur, the larger the version (up to maybe 70-cal, which is larger than a house or condo, and maybe stocked with a full assault team of 30-50 troops); EX is the 1:1 version (size of a battleship or aircraft carrier) I'm making in Minecraft. These lesser-caliburs are more like miniature mass-producable versions of the big guy.

Bullet-types/mission-classes: AP- Assault Purpose/Armor-Piercing (General purpose dropship), EX- Extermination/Explosive (armed to the teeth, in lieu of troops), DD- Deadman Deployment (rapid hot-drop and dustoff/Generally unarmed drone-type)/Dum-Dum/Hollow-point, IN- Indeterminate Nuisance/Incendiary (Rader jammers and the like), FMJ- Fancy Magical Journey/Full-Metal Jacket (Recon/AWACS), Slug- Standard Roles (General purpose overall/Adaptable model).

It's near the bottom of the tool options menu for the pen-like tools (pen, pencil, eraser, airbrush, etc). Basically, it lets the line lag a bit behind the cursor to smooth hard corners, which is a godsend for people like me.

Order in this case refers to making oneself orderly at the cost of making your surroundings chaotic, while chaos is making yourself chaotic to make the world around you orderly.

I'm posting this here since Gaming Block didn't seem appropriate, for some reason; the idea just seems like a creative projects thread.
Would anyone be interested in a thread where you sign up with a skill (Writing, programming, arting, or just general designing) and then are given a challenge to design something from a game (A level, an enemy, a puzzle) and given a prompt? From there, you would have to work with the other participants to make a cohesive demonstration of how it would work.

For instance, if you were given the prompt of "fire, space, vines", a writer might come up with a location with a little story (Like it's a space station being invaded by space kudzu that is also on fire), an artist might come up with a few concepts for how an overgrown space station inferno would look, a programmer might try to figure out what the most efficient way to simulate fire and vines spreading, and a general designer might plan out the level's map. At the end, they take all that they've ended up with and present it as a plan for what they would do if they were actually working on the level.

To make it seem worthwhile, whoever manages to complete a challenge gets a special pixel-art medal with their name on it (For signatures and avatars) and a place on a list of successful designers. What do you guys think? Interesting or stupid?

I've been fiddling with GIMP and inverting and value inverting colors of images. It's been neat, seeing all the different things I can get out of a single base image. Might make another more in depth post with more results.

Spoiler: contrast (click to show/hide)

The left is the original image, the right is inverted. Contrast is cool, man.

Here's a couple other things I tried, on the same image.

Spoiler: here I cranked up the color saturation of magenta and blue tones (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: then I inverted that to get this trippy thing (click to show/hide)

I just had to make sure that it was painfully obvious what the hell i was trying to do with those extra lines, since i do realize that it's a fairly cluttered animation. And that's AFTER cleaning it up, mind you. :P

Hmm, shiny. They look pretty nice.

Me and some friends are planning to make an aluminum-melting foundry this summer, so I've started making plans for a knife to be cast. It probably won't be very functional, of course, since it'll be cast, not forged, but hopefully it'll look cool.

I'm not sure whether I should put anything on the crossguard. Originally I wasn't going to, but then I thought it might be cool to stamp the word "INVICTVS" onto it (note: did the Romans actually write U's the same as V's?). Alternatively, I could keep the Celtic knot theme that's going on with the handle and sheath and put one of those on it. What do you guys think?
I also started making a sheath. After a somewhat failed attempt at a wooden one, I decided to make a burned-leather one instead. I practiced burning the design onto a messed-up piece of leather (I didn't notice the printed numbers on the side shown), and I think it's looking pretty good.

The handle will be wooden, so I drew up a design to burn onto that, too.

In Classical Latin it made sense to represent both a vowel and a consonant with V because the consonant form was originally /w/, which is just the consonant version of /u/; it's the exact same reason they used I the same way. As the sound it represented shifted to /v/ the double usage no longer made sense, but was stubbornly kept for a long time because it looked Roman. Meanwhile, normal people writing languages other than Latin realized they could split it into two, hence U and V.

Not really. I keep drawing that like a fedora, even though I don't imagine a 17th-esque-century world to have them, so I guess they're closer to a failed attempt at a cavalier hat more than anything...

I spent way too much time on this today, but I'm pretty sure it is a probability distribution function, and it does look something like what I'd want a moderately-talented, ordinary person's results to look like in an RPG, now that I've decided to dispense with a dice metaphor entirely.

Now I just need to figure out how to go from that son of a bitch to an actual RNG.

Some of you guys may remember when I posted this (http://i.imgur.com/58DWzsA.png) a while ago. Just yesterday I got hit with some inspiration, and completely redid the design.
They now wear armor slightly like that of a samurai, with a Scottish-style bastard sword. They all still have unique masks, and some still wear hoods. Overall I'm much more satisfied with what they look like, and I feel like the war-mages (which I've now renamed to the sentoki, being what google translate led me to believe is fighter in Japanese) are a lot more interesting as a result.

Everything in the quoted post below is a result of experimentation from there - once you've got the basics worked out, if you want any tips on particular biomes, I'd be happy to offer any advice I can. Bear in mind, the scale on that sucker is pretty wonky, and you may want other resources for figuring out how biomes actually form and suchlike in reality.

Them's some pretty neat sketches yo, although one thing that strikes me is that they all have quite similar facial expressions. You'll probably not be surprised to hear this from me, but me thinks it may be related to the eyebrows, since they're pretty much all at the exact same height above the eyes. Don't be afraid to let them wander a bit, even if it means having them up on the forehead or halfway down through the eyes. :v (although obviously it's absolutely no requirement to go balls out with huge floating anti-gravity battlecruiser eyebrows like i tend to do)

The only noticeable oddity in that animation is how the bird's wing tips bend downward while it's flapping down. I'm gonna assume that's because you made the up motion first, then copied and reversed it for the down stroke?

Ahh ... no, I did the down motion first. I don't really know how bird wings work, but assumed they made sort of a curved scooping motion.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: alexandertnt on February 08, 2015, 07:22:38 pm
IIRC bats make the curved scooping motion when the wings are lifted up, presumably to lower the wing-area that is moving against the air (and thus reduce the downwards force when prepairing to flap down again). I would imagine birds would work similarly. At the very least, I would bet that the down stroke and up stroke are considerably different somehow

There is probably slow-motion-camera footage on youtube of bird flight.

I do like how consistant your animation looks. Nothing oddly stretches or changes shape in any of the frames.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Bauglir on February 08, 2015, 07:28:45 pm
Well, here's a reference. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMYnzp_cUIo) Looks like they do sort of cup their wings as much as they're able, but air forces the feathers up at the tips.

I like the animation, for reasons that have already been mentioned.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Gentlefish on February 08, 2015, 07:41:10 pm
A better way to think about bird flight is that the tips of the wings stay stationary and the bird's body moves in relation to the wing's movements.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Shook on February 08, 2015, 08:10:56 pm
Only partways. The birds body does bob up and down while flying, but the wings definitely move at the same time. Intensive studies (https://www.google.dk/search?q=bird+flight+animation&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=hQTYVLzdG4vhaOzXgsAD) reveal to me that a flight animation can be boiled down to three frames:

Yeah... what started off as a base idea that my art teacher had us do, turned into something that I started to sell for a bit of change.

I am sure most of my school has lost faith in humanity by the people who are buying my picture.
Also, that is me.
No drugs.
No alcohol.
Just why I don't sit near cameras... I WILL make faces.

Needs an OBEY caption, imo.
Big Brother is watching...

You have no clue how many people at my school have said that...
Also I have it hanging in various areas...
Some people are scared of me;
Some wonder how the hell I sell the pictures off.

Very, very nice! Excellent lines and posing you've got going, and everything just flows well in general. The only little nitpick i can produce is that there's something slightly off about her eyes, and it's not just the cat-like pupils that are clearly intentional. It might be the way her eyes are focused; it looks like she should be looking directly at you, but the focal point seems to be just a bit off to the side. It is possible that i'm just seeing things that aren't like that in reality, though. :v

also last night i finally made another worthwhile doodle

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Tried to up the detail level on the face just a little bit, because why not? I also found a ridiculously cheeky way of lining up the snout on snouted faces like those of dinosaurs (http://puu.sh/fzuNl.png) and i can't believe i didn't think of that before, especially since i've actually read about the TWO CIRCLES approach in a tutorial before. :v

;v; Thank you very much ! Just noticed that, originally she was kind of worried/sad looking but my roommate came in and told me I should stop making my characters look like that so I erased the face and re-did it. I probably lost something in the transition, indeed, she was supposed to look directly and the camera, I think it's because the right pupil is a little to the left.

Aye, I find it easier to work on details like eyes and such while still keeping it crisp, and then I can't resize it properly either because it loses the tone patterns. Though I also work with the idea that I'm printing them to hang around my room and stuff.

I guess it's like zooming in to work with smaller details, except you're working at normal size instead of zooming in and thus get a higher resolution. :v

Working close in all the time is dangerous though. You get lost in doing all the little details and risk messing up the big picture, which is always more important than the details. Easiest to check this is by zooming out and squinting your eyes, if it reads well like that then you're good, if not, well, you have some revising to do :D

Also, I've been convinced to start posting stuff from my current sketchbook before I'm done with it. Since I already have some scanned and have nothing else to do right now I'll start posting these daily I guess.

I treated the petals with sodium borate to give them a reddish appearance. I added leaves to the stem, but they ended up being pretty sharp so I pulled them off. Over time, the stem should oxidize and turn green.

Yeah, I think I see what that means then. the neck is a little too thin, and becomes thinner quickly as it leaves the head. It looks better in Shook's art as it fits his stylization better.

I made sure to fix a few design flaws from the previous one (the fore-engines, scaling of the decks, better details of other parts of the ship; weapon hardpoints added to the wings, larger under-wing hangars, and the catapult system nearby them.), and also added in the 7-dμ (rendering it independent from timespace; partially visible, and the selected visible part of said device (one of countless components) is what looks like the team logo, mostly for design reasons, rather than functional; given this thing is a traveling reality-warper, who gives a flying fuck? Implementation was sorta inspired by the final boss of Ikaruga.) in between the 4-dμ (allowing for it to teleport, and also not adversely affect the local areas by it's scale and power outputs, while also allowing inertial dampening for everything stored within, as it travels up to supersonic speeds; in which the psychotic crew aboard also barnstorms this behemoth while flying around. The device is dimensionally split in half, and mounted onto the craft; so it's actually 2 pieces of a single unit.), since it's predecessor lacked it. This thing is a bit larger than the previous version, by a couple more decks in height (Plus "Tavern at the Top"/War Room + booze has a better build to it now, and so does the upper cabin), 25 meters wider, and nearly 100 meters longer.

As much techno-babble and magicka-babble may be involved with this thing, in summary, it's a flying fortress of fun, which fully exploits non-euclidean physics and non-euclidean engineering; so there's far less mechanical design in this overall, rather than aesthetic design. In summary, I had fun designing this monstrosity of unrealistic entertainment. It's probably the most broken thing to encounter in the multi-verse.

Sure, a physics-defying ship can always be the boring flying saucer, but screw that shit. I want to travel with some style. Took me about 3 hours to draw.

I feel that this needs to be mentioned because dear god so many fine details. Just one thing that strikes me though, the perspective on the middle wings doesn't match up to that of the front wings. I hope you don't mind me doing this, but i tried putting some perspective lines on top:

Spoiler: still Itnetlolor's drawing (click to show/hide)

Red lines are extrapolated from the drawing, yellow is how i'd possibly imagine it being (not accounting for me failing horribly at placing the lines in the right places). The problem is mostly that some of the lines are diverging instead of converging, which gives kind of a funky look. Mind you though, this is still a REALLY NICE DRAWING and mostly i just have a near-pathological need to offer constructive criticism. :v
Fortunately for us all, you generally don't have to get the perspective completely perfect, as long as the lines converge in roughly the same area you should be good to go.

Generally speaking, not that I don't appreciate the critique, my overall style is completely freehanded and a sans-ruling method of lining things up. Basically, I just eyeballed the whole thing as I was working on it front-to-back (perspective (foreground to background) and starting at the front of the ship to keep the entire drawing on the page. Not fun when you accidentally overshoot your scaling, like I almost did with it's predecessor, and a few other drawings.), and making sure I was keeping things in-line as best I could going one-shot with it. Plus, I try to get it done in a single session if possible, with a maximum time of 3-4 hours per sketch.

Pardon that rant, but I felt it needed to be said. What happened to art for fun? Why must everything be serious business? Everyone hates each other enough already. We don't need any more fuel added to this fire; but of course, such words would always fall on deaf ears.

Post by: Arx on February 23, 2015, 01:52:00 pm
My approach to getting perspective and stuff lined up properly is to try to put down a few brief skeleton lines before I actually make the rest of the sketch. I may then completely change the angle of one arm or whatever (I almost entirely draw people, and just draw whatever seems appropriate for the person), but most of it will be self-consistent with a minimum of effort and no rulers. My only drawing tool was an HB mechanical pencil until very recently, when I acquired a couple of other grades of pencil for shading, so I can sympathise with not wnating to get technical.

Post by: Shook on February 23, 2015, 02:09:09 pm
Itnetlolor, you may be pleased to know that i pretty much feel the exact same way; i love just smacking down the lines free-hand and boom bam that's that. With that said, i'm also a bit of a perfectionist, and i've found that it's often super helpful to just have a few guiding lines and/or shapes just so i can smack the lines down in the right place. It doesn't have to go beyond a few lines to help you visualize the perspective, or a couple of lightly sketched circles to help you place body parts or whatever correctly. I find it EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to go straight from blank paper to complicated final outline, but if you like it best that way, then you should totally keep at it like that.

I also wholly agree that art shouldn't be too much serious business. It needs room for dicking around, and many of my favourite art things on the net are made by artists who are bored and all like "lol why not". This is also why i strongly prefer drawing from imagination over observational drawing (if i want to depict reality then i'll just grab a camera), although as it happens, i've found that practicing observational drawing actually rather helps with visualizing the imaginationthings. So anyways, why do i always feel the need to offer critique? Quite simple! Because i've found that my own enjoyment of drawing has gotten higher as i've gotten better at drawing, and critique can really help with that improving part (if you want to, anyways).

It is nice that most artists are freestyle in their attitudes. It's the professional world that I hate in those regards. Too many reports to convince me not to go professional; mostly because it's a hassle. Fortunately it seems harder to monopolize, more or less; and based on most content out there, most people are realists anyway, so imagination is still mostly free-range. While at it; I hate being professional, and being expected to be professional in-general, regardless of field or job (I'm the kind of guy that would go to a business meeting in a swimsuit and T-Shirt with messy hair and a beer and a sketch pad with music playing, instead of a business suit and fully-groomed being bored out of my skull listening to the same crap. Keeping busy and comfortable (and defined casual) keeps me focused, even if it looks like I'm not paying attention, or not giving a single fuck).

I tend to go perfectionist sometimes myself (mainly the reason behind my one-shot one-kill application method); but yeah, sometimes I just need to shut that off, even when brainstorming, and just see if I can brew a hurricane to work from.

Sorry if I tend to rant (for anyone with a problem with it), it's a habit I'm trying to knock out. I can try to give it up for Lent, while it's still early, but it's one of those more stubborn habits that going cold-turkey for 40 days isn't as simple as it sounds to fix it. However, I can always try to work on my barriers/nesting (like explaining things (while explaining things (within things))). It's the quote-pyramid of statements; just as annoying as Toady sees quote-pyramids in general; especially if you skip a beat by accident while previewing, and a whole paragraph is a sub-statement without end (by accident.

FAUX-EDIT:
I noticed I did that in the first edit; fixed it already, but I almost did exactly as my example stated.

you have NO IDEA of how much you sound like me right now i swear it's uncanny

I abhor having to put up a facade for people, which means that i hate being stiff and formal about ANYTHING. Of course, this occasionally attracts the ire of people who hold stiffness and formality in high regard, but those people will have to learn to deal with me as i come au naturel. Perfume chokes me (i don't know if this is a mild allergy or something) and neck ties stifle me, and in general i much prefer being down to earth and eye to eye with people, instead of balancing with the Pole of Formality dead center in my anus, trying to look up into the clouds in order to catch a glimpse of people on top of their high horses. Fortunately, it's only like that when we have guests and/or are guests. :v (i mean i can respect that people don't necessarily want to hear a thunderous fart or guttural belch, but if they opt to call me out on an accidental minor burp or fart like i was some small child, then there's going to be some rather spiteful remarks about that, because contrary to popular belief, i AM old enough to comprehend full sentences)

I can also relate to the ranting bit, although i think i have gotten marginally better at brevity than i was before. Marginally. :v

I've gotten into game maker again. So far nothing of note, mostly because I'm learning GML for the first time, and my brief stint with drag-and-drop back in middle school is only slightly relevant. My goal is to create a game involving top-down naval action. It took a few days of frustration to get the boat turning to work right, but now attempting to fire a cannon will crash the game, with the crashlog pointing to a variable in the move script. If it wasn't for the fact that my friend wanted to (and already did) make music for the eventual game, I would probably have thrown in the towel by now.

The problem is that it DOESN'T look very manga-ish at all. The art is manga-ish, but there is some very clearly western influence there and it's easy enough to just assume it's a comic.

i hate mornings though

In any case, i managed to make two above-par (for me) drawings last night so woo go me.

These came at the cost of about an hours worth of sleep (on a night where i had 8am classes next morning). However, I feel like this arting course is actually helping, so that's pretty neat. :v

Drowning was kind of a study actually, based off of a scene in this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQu8FOjJXdI), was also playing with some pencils I got for Christmas to see how they worked.

And the trees are also kinda studies, well, practice to be more precise of a method I picked up from a book.

And for some reason your friend uses wrong-diameter rings, too. Still, he does better than I do- his one is wider and longer. I have now to console myself with the fact that the size doesn't matter at all. This kind of chainmail should be a little bit more dense, though, and I'm working on it.

She. What you mean there is she. That was her side-project, and it turned out rather good, so she gave it to me. She is now working on chainmail bracelets worked in something she describes as "dragonskin pattern", and it'll take a lot of time to complete, because she also knits a medium-size blouse with a hell of a pattern at the time.

And thanks. That was the closest measurement instrument of many on my table, so I grabbed it. It also has inch scale on one side, but due to this particular photo quality it cannot be seen.

Ah, sorry for my mind being full of srereotypes. Not that I had thoughts about it, but I subconsiously felt like a girl can't be interested in making chaimails. It's so nice to discover the opposite. Did she say something like  "stupid Comrade" or "not that I like you" or  "don't want this chainmail anyway" when handing it to you? ;)

After isn't better than before, in my opinion, just simpler. Likewise, it's not worse.

Single-line drawing sans-reference, and at that quality? Not bad. I generally hated doing those, especially given the amount of detail I usually apply. Makes my wrist hurt by the end of the whole trip (up to maybe 2-5 minutes, depending on size of non-stop drawing the single line, kinda like an etch-a-sketch; skipping on the paper really screws you up). Especially using those larger drawing pads, like newsprint pads and such. Took some drawing classes that required doing those. So yeah, even I gotta say those look good.

Haven't drawn in a while. Attempted a ghoul critter from Lovecraft's short story Pickman's Model, in which an eccentric artist depicts fantasy monsters with absurdly unrealistic realism that makes his monstrous subject matter look too real.

So I made art of art described in literature. How meta.

It's all sketchy and incomplete looking. Yeee. Went for giving it a sort of raptor-esque goat-skull-esque head and shaggy goatman-esque body. The left foot came out odd. Nicknamed him Stumpy because I didn't feel like fixing it. Was an enjoyable exercise.

When I was going from drawing silly comics that were just talking shapes with dots for eyes (4th, 5th, 6th grade) to actually drawing, like, dragons and lizards and swords and stuff (7th, 8th grade) which eventually got me to whatever level I'm at now.

Ya that's what I said after that
I am just now making that transfer, if there really is a transfer since I didn't really draw before anyways.


Also I need to get a picture of my (in my opinion) mini adorable skeletons
I don't know why but I think they are adorable


Oh hey I missed the drawing of the picture of my girlfriend .-. Woops

Double post bump because I went and did a thing. Posting in this thread so much made me feel the need to do a thing.

Spoiler: I call it maggitbrain (click to show/hide)

Surreal sketch thing. Creative influences were probably a mix of Boondocks, the Maggot Brain album cover by Funkadelics, and me doodling while listening to the funky blues distorted guitar solo of the song that is Maggot Brain. Also I'm tired and should probably have gone to sleep earlier instead of doodling. Took me, like 45 minutes? Like the design of it. May try and clean it up and flesh it out later. Ha. Pun.

So, backstory to this. Why I'm posting it is the result of a query a friend asked regarding my art. It resulted in asking me to post it.
._.
And I've no idea where to post it!
Or how to start an intro on it!

Spoiler: It began with a stroke of inspiration from seeing a painting done by my kuya {Tagalog term; loosely translated to 'older brother//older male'; implied respect} (click to show/hide)
Somehow, inspiration took ahold of me in thinking how I could do something as a gift for him and his kindness.
With no experience to negative drawing other than reading up on it as well as 8 hours of straightforward work with a pencil and its eraser, this happened.

Honestly though, i still like making simpler (http://puu.sh/gva3g.png) drawings (http://puu.sh/gva3y.png) of dinosaurlizardthings, what mostly matters is what kind of drawing that i/one is setting out to make. It's also a fact that it takes a LOT longer to draw with a higher detail level, for fairly obvious reasons, and as it happens, i am a very lazy man. :P

and do you know how my laziness also shows?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

the extremely conservative shading on these two gurls

In my own defense though, it's hard to get a good enough look at people when they're also trying to draw someone. :v (also the blurry photos make the drawings look WAY better than they actually are)
Also, if the second drawing seems a bit stretched, it's because i was looking at the paper from a fairly shallow angle while drawing. I had to find a comfortable position where i wouldn't move my head around too much, and then all of a sudden she has a long face when viewed straight on.

-shading real life grills-
Shook, push yer values more. More contrast between the darkest dark of the shading and the not-so-dark of the shading and the light not-shaded-at-all not-shading of the shading (aka light) will help make the shading stand out more.

I have the exact same problem of not pushing my values more in shading. I go with the really subtle soft variation in tones and eventually everything's the same shade of pencil-y grey. My justification is "I don't wanna mess up and ruin it! D:"

Post by: Shook on March 10, 2015, 09:01:49 pm
Oh i'm aware of that, i'm mostly just too lazy to fix it, but thanks for the advice. Relative values (read: shadows versus paper white) are also important in that it looks crazy bad if really subtle shadows are rendered with too much of a heavy hand (plus it's easier to add more pencil than it is to erase the right amount), and at the same time, i don't feel like adding colour to the ENTIRE face due to the time and effort required. :v

Also worth noting is that the lighting in the room really didn't lend itself well to clearly defined shadows, since it's basically a school room with a lot of powerful fluorescent lights scattered all over the ceiling, so most shadows were quite faint. But yes, my rendering of the shadows is TOO faint. :P

Since the spell has a time limit, and there is a limit to how much you can cast, at some point you'd reach a Critical Beard Density where it becomes impossible to cast any more Beards.

Since the spell has a time limit, and there is a limit to how much you can cast, at some point you'd reach a Critical Beard Density where it becomes impossible to cast any more Beards.
Well, the time limit only means that there's a limit to how high the Beard multiplier can go, provided that Beard doesn't also reduce casting time. The maximum Beardiplier possible would be equal to m^(d/c), where m is the base multiplier, c is the casting time, and d is the duration. This assumes that Beard also keeps casting time constant. If casting time is reduced by Beard, and the reduction pushes the ratio of d/c under 1, then the theoretical maximum power is infinite.

The main problem with this is that you'd experience a drop in power after casting a spell proportional to the casting time of the spell cast, due to the interruption of the delicate balance between casting Beard and the time limit. So, Beard would give you only a scarce few maximally powerful spells, with a decline in power after that point until equilibrium is again reached. Unless it is possible to cast more than one spell at the same time, ofc.

I may have over-thought this a little.

If the style of the one you worked out is anything to go by, then the ones I'm most interested in, in order, are
2nd row far right
2nd row 3rd to right
3rd row far left
1st row 4th to right
3rd row 3rd to right
4th row 3rd to right
4th row far left
top row 2nd to right
And then the others in any order.

1st Row: 3rd from the left
2nd Row: 1st from the right (long spindly legged lady)
4th Row: I'd want to see everyone from this row, but I really want to see the two in the middle.

I always feel weird posting in these things because I'm such a long-term lurker and no one really knows me but whatever, I have seniority on my side ;V I'm enjoying the track I just made a bit more than others because it's the genesis of a bunch of different techniques I've recently learned to put to work in other things.
https://soundcloud.com/float-overblow/cyan (https://soundcloud.com/float-overblow/cyan) Best with headphones. If it's too strange that's cool too, just looking at VERY LOUD DRONES as a textural backwash and I know full well that might not appeal to everyone.

I like it. It's very mellow and chill; just because I love the color, though, doesn't mean that I automatically have to like it. On it's own merits, it's a sort of atmouspheric music that would very much make sense playing in the background of a more minimal-esque or exploration oriented game; Minecraft comes to mine, but it would for a game in the style of Endless Ocean or something based on camping in the wild.

Or maybe Camp Australia Simulator.

Thank you :) Mellow/chill is what I was going for, I just don't know what people's tolerances for that sort of drone is, whether I overdid it or not, whether some of the dissonance is too much... I know the EQ and mixing is bad for anything but headphones, but I've pretty much devoted myself to headphone music. So just the usual music-y doubts.

Listening to it, I'm envisioning an art game that uses this track after activating a generator that begins the (real) game, like a waterwheel, at least. So, Intro level theme or something.

THE FEET MAN

Basically, the feet on the second drawing are drawn in a manner that suggests that the thing is facing directly towards the viewer, but then you look up and see that the entire upper body is in a 3/4th view, which makes my knees feel a bit funky. I'd also mention a somewhat stiff pose, but given how heavily armoured the thing is, i'd say that that's only fitting. :v
To illustrate what i mean about the feet:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's worth considering the two lines on the ground, since those are basically what you should align the feet after. In this case, i horribly missed having the feet lined up, but if you (unlike me) know what you're doing, you can probably work it to your advantage and make it a dynamic pose, or something. :P

Don't worry mate, you're doing fine! Hands and feet are probably the most difficult parts of the human(oid) figure to get right, and honestly i'm pretty terrible at them myself, given how i usually just scribble down something that looks vaguely right without being anatomically sound. :v (this is also not helped by the fact that i rarely draw five fingers/toes per hand/foot on anything)
I also totally forgot to mention that the rest of the drawing is quite good, which is rather rude of me, given how i believe that criticism should generally be paired with some nice words in order to not sound like a negative nancy. :I

It was used for nearly 200 years, and was very practical for the wearer. Just very expensive to get it made.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Cryxis, Prince of Doom on March 18, 2015, 05:43:16 pm
Impractical being that it was heavy and expensive and the last chunk of the time it was used guns had been invented and used against it, with great effectiveness.
And like I said, later in the age. It was also much less comman than say chain mail.


I'll probably do some knight in full plate with a halberd or some other pole arm

Quote from: wikipedia on Plate Armour
A complete suit of plate armour made from well-tempered steel would weigh around 15–25 kg(33-55 pounds).[2] The wearer remained highly agile and could jump, run and otherwise move freely as the weight of the armor was spread evenly throughout the body. The armour was articulated and covered a man's entire body completely from neck to toe. In the 15th and 16th centuries, large bodies of men-at-arms numbering thousands or even more than ten thousand men (as many as 60% of an army) were fighting on foot wearing full plate next to archers and crossbowmen. This was commonly seen in the Western European armies especially of France and England during the Hundred Years War, the Wars of the Roses or the Italian Wars.

Not saying wikipedia is the be-all, end-all, but it seems to disagree.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: WillowLuman on March 18, 2015, 06:36:25 pm
Not really heavier than any other kind of metal armor, maybe 40 pounds. And its weight was distributed around the body, which stopped it from being too encumbering. And there were those who could afford to outfit large companies of soldiers with it.

Oh, ninja'd

Post by: GiglameshDespair on March 18, 2015, 09:16:04 pm
Not sure. My experiences with Battle of the Nations guys tell me most armour is steel, but it depends how serious the 'reenactment' is for the thickness. Steel is cheap, after all. If it's Battle of the Nations, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Nations_%28Medieval_Tournament%29) it's proper battle-grade steel, because they really go at each other (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A4-TIvKCNw).

A casual google for "reenactment armour" seems to bring up all steel products, too.

Thought I'd do some stuff to that. (http://seaquence.org/dvc8) I reflected it over the line y=9-x, and added any points missing on either side. I thought it sounded interesting.

1. Draw 2 really poorly drawn gears (see above)
2. Make an image of them next to each other, with one gear having a knob aiming at the other, but not the other way around.
3. Rotate the gears so the other gear has a knob facing the first one, and the first one does not.
4. Keep repeating steps 2 and 3 until you have a ton of pictures.
5. Take all the still pictures and make a gif of it.

Well then, what better time to start mercilessly tormenting yourselves by drawing nothing but faces for a short while? It's only a matter of time before it gets impractical to cover all faces with plate metal. :v
This i will say though, i am very uncomfortable with trying to draw female faces, for some odd reason. A quick glance through my deviantArt gallery reveals that all my doodles are either indistinct or male, with the only females being the very recent drawings i've made during drawing course. I'm not entirely sure what this says about me. :P

so anyways here's me stepping WAY out of my comfort zone and drawing a female face without reference

Spoiler: apparently she's asian (click to show/hide)

And now you know why i generally avoid it. I have to concede that REALISTIC faces are incredibly hard to get right, which is why i usually stylize them. :v

Maybe try thinking about the underlying structures? Working out where bones or other supports would fit together tends to help me get joints and proportion right.

Also, your thumbs are too short in Figure 1. It might be intentional, but it doesn't really look like it; they should be ending at the first joint of the index finger, not at the base. It's a fairly common mistake, I think.

Now that you mentioned it, they are. It's just that all the pelvis part is covered with some flexible protective material to reduce kinetic damage. Those two curved plates on the sides hanging down from the belt, they are of the same material, but thicker - that reduces flexibility, but protection is better. Maximum joint protection, you see.

@Arx: Yeah, consideration of the underlying structures might do the thing. I'll try to draw something considering that.
Thumb of the left hand on fig. 1 (the one that is raised) seems shorter because I tried to draw it slightly out of surface, somewhat verging towards viewer. I haven't quite got it right, I believe.
Love first, fourth, last and the one before last of your sketches, by the way.

And the stone head from the last one of those three pieces Jopax posted reminds me of what Shook draws.

Here's one you can try:

It's kinda long, I don't expect the entire thing in detail, but you'll probably find something interesting to draw.  A Titan walked up to my front door.  I looked away for a second and when I looked back at the game, the Titan was dead.  Apparently it stumbled into the public dining room and everyone and their pets layed a massive smackdown.  I modded the game to play as fox furries, so they are mostly biting and scratching instead of punching and kicking, and you may see a message about their tails.  Feel free to draw them as dwarves instead. 

I made the titan a starspawn because I was out of ideas.

The anatomy is very well structured.

May I ask tips on the general ratios of the body proportions? ._.

Waist is in the middle of the body, knees are halfway between the waist and the ground. The ends of the fingers are just under the waist. From the waist to the top of the head is equal to about 3 1/2 heads (so, the torso is 2 1/2 heads tall).

For faces, eyes are directly in the middle of the head. The bottom of the nose is halfway between the eyes and the chin. The bottom of the bottom lip is halfway between the nose and the chin.

I also recommend checking out this album on Imgur (http://imgur.com/gallery/Fyx0e). It helped me a lot.

AAA MOUNTAINS

Could do with some more o' that delicious contrast though, i've found that you need to make shockingly large differences between light and dark in order to convey depth properly. Here's a shoddy example of what i mean:

Spoiler: also mountains because we're at mountains anyways (click to show/hide)

CONTRAST. Notice the borderline obscene difference in value between light and dark. You may/may not be surprised to know that reality does this too; next time you're outside in sunshine, notice just how much darker your shadow actually is in comparison to the surrounding lit area. It's quite a lot, so don't be afraid to go nuts with your own shading. :v

@Vector: Do you have various shading pencils on hand? I find those are very efficient other than using just one shade of pencil instead (though possible, it makes the work a LOT easier).

Yeah, as some sort of rasterized image format.
Alright, thanks. I was hoping there was an easier way, but it's not like it's a lot of work, either way.

So, in my infinitely salty nerdrage over Dragons of Tarkir, the most recent Magic the Gathering set, I tried to put together something (https://mega.co.nz/#!65kh1LgY!uW5ffUENZXu2EcRMXwcqmudpX1fCUUQ_25DvyHHkURc) that avoided the problems I had with the real set. In the process, I did start to realize why they did some of the things they did, but I also think they still wound up making an aggressively bland and safe set that failed to deliver on the promise of a Dragon set despite the number of cards with Dragon in the typeline.

Obviously, what I posted is a very rough draft. I shouldn't have taken the time to do this much; I certainly don't have time to playtest it and smooth out the edges, fix obvious holes or broken interactions with other sets, and the other stuff that you'd expect of a real set, especially given that it will never be played, but it at least serves as proof-of-concept that things could've been more interesting, and that's what I really wanted. I'll take feedback if anybody is (for some reason) insane enough to actually look through the thing, but mostly I'm just glad to have done with it. Now it can stop consuming headspace.

Requires Magic Set Editor (http://magicseteditor.sourceforge.net/) to view.

Are you the sort of person that has an existential crisis when faced with yard work?
Yes, yard work is amazingly pointless. Your objective is unclear (Really, you're never going to have as nice a lawn as you think you're going to have), the failure state similar (No-one is going to arrest you for having a shit garden), and success limited (Even if you have a really nice lawn it will inevitably fall apart and require your intervention). This is why most memories of being outside for me consist of me angrily raking leaves while wondering why anyone can assume that life has meaning and that justice is even a concept.
Finally, we have a game (created by me in Flash with Stencyl and sounds from SFXR) that models that feeling accurately!

Featuring: random generation (Exactly one thing moves around), simple controls (arrow keys, bump into things to interact), graphics (That are less aesthetically pleasing then most classic Atari games) and one (awful) sound.
Hope you guys enjoy my first game which I made in four hours. Have a meaningless and ultimately unfulfilled day.

BIG BROTHER IS looking violently from side to side IN YOUR DIRECTION

I like the scanline effect, it's pretty neat. One thing that bothers me slightly though, the diagonal sides of the circle has some EXTRA THICKNESS going on!! Am i entirely wrong in assuming that it's at least partially made via the circle tool? :v (also disclaimer: whether you used it or not, i'm okay with using the circle tool due to how annoying it is to make circles manually, just gotta clean up them lines yo)

The scanlines are thicker than the green lines, but I think Gig means that he made the circle pixel-by-pixel.

I see what Shook means, though; at 45°, 135°, etc., the pixels are directly touching each other, rather than being only adjacent diagonally. This gives the effect of looking thicker.
I edited it a little, making it a more typical circle-pattern (original version is the left side, for comparison):

Yeah... I'd add one pixel's width to the bottom and top, making them a continuation of the "two pixel" edge instead of the "short pixel" edge. As is all four corners are "short", and making the two side ones long is impossible.

More tablet practice. I don't get how other people seem to get such clean/smooth, marker-like lines. Is there a brush dynamic for it, or does it just need oodles of practice? One thing I'm noticing is lines tend to be a lot more jagged because I don't have the pencil biting into the paper and holding it smooth anymore.

Oodles of practice almost certainly enter into somewhere, though.

Getting sum Dark Souls vibes there bro. :v
Also i concur with the lines thing (yours aren't bad, mind you), i have NO idea how people get super neat free-hand lines (at least not on digital media). The only vaguely clean lines i get is when i make fast and wide swishes across the tablet, since that tends to mitigate the unsteadiness of my hands (compare slowly drawn line to fastswishline (http://puu.sh/h9IwQ.png)). It is harder to land the fast swishes accurately, though, so you'll probably need copious amounts of undoing. :P

I find that a combination of zoom and working in higher resolutions and then shrinking everything down later helps lots. I don't particularly like the smooth stroke tool, since it lags a bit and feels a bit like a crutch that will slow my improvement.

Spoiler: Pictures for a videogame I'm making (click to show/hide)

Might be the fact that I'm tired, but I just see a black screen in the first image.
Interesting, considering it's quite a vibrant red. Have you tried looking at it through a different computer? It might be the monitor or the image not loading properly.
Can anyone else judge the images? I am beginning to wonder if I have gone mad, I swear these were vague but definite outlines of a human person before, but now I'm not sure. To hell with eyes.

Well, i can see how it would be vague face, but i can also see how it would look like a small fountain of red lines. If you don't already know that it's supposed to be a face, then it could be quite hard to see, though. The two others serve their purpose of being vandalized, although it's fairly hard to make out any details of the first one (with the "stink lines"). I'm guessing that this is also intentional, given exactly how much noise there is. :v

sadly i have nothing new to display so CARRY ON FOLKS

The first one really just needs a chin and facial features. The third one could use a chin, too. A neck wouldn't hurt.

As for the second one, it's interesting, but... what's the context? In fact, what's the context for all of these? It might help everything make more sense.

It's my idea for a Hotline Miami-style videogame. The prime minster of the UK, David Cameron, has found out that the majority of Britons are not going to vote for his party in the next election. He then decides that the only way to stop this would be to declare 90% of Britain to be 'SCUM' and order that Britain must undergo a 'SCUMWAR' where the remaining 10% (Coincidentally, the 10% said they were willing to vote for David Cameron on a survey) are armed and the 90% are shot at with special mortars which erase (Eliminates anything in the blast radius from existence: if you have a bodypart caught in the blast radius, that body part now retroactively never existed) or randomize (Causes anyone in the blast radius to become violently psychotic). The protagonist is an expelled student in Birmingham (Or one of the nastier boroughs of London, haven't quite decided) who is stuck in the middle of this insanity.
... It's a bit of an odd idea.

There's a better way to take it than a negative, y'know. Emotions poking on self-esteem may be a short-term drive, but without noticing the determination and other noble virtues intermixed with that topping of D: (and thus developing them instead), it won't do much.

Man, I get disappointed when people don't respond to stuff I post, too. That's totally understandable, and it feels lonely and even insulting, like people are looking over your words and just going, "Nah, this chucklefuck isn't worth the time. He's such a weirdo, too, I don't want him thinking I want to be his friend or anything. Save us all a lot of trouble if that Bauglir fellow quit talking." Nobody's really doing that, of course... Probably. Shit, if anybody is, shoot me a PM and I'll edit in a correction. Point being, though, you've gotta decide whether you want to solve your problem or not.

Y'gotta remember the context, you see. We're not sitting around a table chatting - we're putting up billboards. You're in the wrong medium if you expect something different. If nobody replies, it isn't because they didn't care, or even because they don't particularly like you, it's because they just don't have anything to say. There are no subtle body language cues, no overt gestures, no vague noises to indicate that we're quietly paying attention. If you want replies, if you want people to go out of their way to acknowledge you, you've gotta make people want to reply. Which, shit, you've done here I suppose, so 10/10 made me reply, but it's probably not what you actually wanted since now it comes off as though your belligerence is more interesting than your flags.

Which are quite nice, by the way. But I hadn't got a chance to see them in the hour and a half between your posts.

EDIT: That might be overly harsh. The bottom line, though, is that your response to a problem isn't helping resolve it. Whether or not you want to do anything about that is your choice. And the issue of whether you should have to is a good deal more complicated. I sympathize in that regard, but there's only so much sympathy can do.

Vec and Bauglir got the idea perfectly. I had those feelings before, and learned to deal with it in a more constructive way. But aye, for lack of a long discussion and brevity on the point: PM someone you think can help, or inquire to those who you see can help (IRL) before you act on it. :)
Doesn't help that it still continues under the fear of judgement though. Which still exists.

Got back into Minecraft Creative Mode. Been doing a Wanderer's Paradise build as the canvas and scenery. Basically, I'm using the large biomes, and warping a kilometer's radius (1k X then Y and so on. Along 8-points of the perimeter), then 2 kilometers (another 8-point, not 12-point). Keep notes what is where, and if/when used, make notes of it, and make warp gates, and have a central hub to navigate through.

Anyway, after touring my scenery/canvas, I started building, starting with my Central Hub.
Spoiler: Central Hub / Gallery Alpha (Early Model, so far) (click to show/hide)

I found a location which was a perfect blend of a few good large biomes to be near each other (Ocean, desert, and roofed forest). I prevented a forest fire from happening before it was too late. After establishing my warp platform, I got working after doing a 1k diameter scan (which thank goodness for that anyway; prevented the fire via magma pit and roofed forest), and loving every bit of it. Here's my sand castle in the works, with a means of traffic passing through on the first floor. I might add some crates later on or something. I still need to complete it; but the Thru-Pass is made.

I just got a clever idea to double the Time Twins' abilities, and how to present it on their shrine. Sunset and Sunrise. Up the contrast on the shrine with 2 more colors.

EDIT EDIT:
Done and done. Time Twins leveled up. Now we have High Moon, Dusk, Dawn, and High Noon. Contrast upgraded, from the mural to the rug. Altars added. Symmetry remains. My world got more precision now time-wise, and the controls look a little cooler.

@Cinder,

As generally a person who is terrible at most things, specifically art, which I was never good at despite my best efforts, you do not have the right to say "fuck all of you" because your work has gone unnoticed. Many a time have I posted either something I drew or wrote and it wasn't responded to, and sometimes it even killed whole threads... well close to it. Unfortunately, that is innately part of being an artist; you have to keep going when people don't just jump up for a standing ovation, whether it be due to lack of interest or they don't want to say something on the quality of the work. So ya. Don't just cry out for attention. If you do, make sure you do it with your artwork instead of your words.

None of this is to imply that your flags are bad. Some of them I find quite fun, but truth be told, I didn't really give it more than a semi-interested glance.

END CINDER-RELATED POST.

@Mastahcheese,

that's pretty good from a topographically correct standpoint, so well done! But I gots me some gripes with your rivers. First of all, rivers never split (well sometimes they do, but not like that and USUALLY not for very long. There's a manmade split in Germany, but it's not really of note), and secondly, they always flow downhill. Of course, something like what you have in your map could theoretically be plausible for many of the splits in your rivers if you something like the cliffs of dover/moher covering a lot of your coastline and this was a very high island. There's also that one little nub of a river that flows nowhere.

That wasn't exactly intentional. Probably happened because I wasn't sure if I wanted to draw a puppet or a robot (In which case it would've been electric cables) when I added them. I didn't realize this until now but I think I'll keep it, since I kinda like the effect it makes.

I'm not 100% sure it fits in this thread, but I really, really need someone to double-check this for me. I recorded a trio of videos on the basics of programming and I was hoping someone could take a glance at the rough version of one of them to make sure it's coherent. You don't have to watch all (or even most) of any of them, but it'd mean a lot to me if one of you could make sure I'm not jumping around to much, explaining things poorly, or otherwise screwing it up before I actually create a final version for public consumption.

Guys, I need help. There's a comic/webcomic I've wanted to make for ages but I've never got around to do it. I've tried twice, once on paper but I kinda gave up because I never have the occasion to draw on paper and another time on the computer with a mouse, but I abandoned because it looked horrible. I'm getting a drawing tablet this weekend, but I'm also getting kinda good with pixel art and I have no idea if I want to do drawing or pixels. Any suggestion on which to choose?

I can't really show a drawing because I don't have my tablet yet, But I'll post a example of the style I want to do in pixel art as soon as I have finished it.

Post by: Jopax on April 16, 2015, 02:41:32 pm
It also depends on the effort. While pixel art can look really nice it can also take a long time to do properly whereas drawing tends to be more straightforward, but it also takes more time to get to a nice and presentable skill level.

So keep that in mind, it'd be a shame for you to start a comic and then give up shortly thereafter because it takes too much time and effort to complete a single panel.

Also random face doodle:

Here's how the pixel art version would kinda look like. I went with a minimalist style because doing anything more complex would be a pain in the *** in the long term. I do have plans to improve the art style as the story advance and I get more used to drawing the comic though.
I'm not sure if I would be able to recreate the shading with the tablet, but I'd be able to add more details to the characters.

Got more Minecrafting done. Also updated the graphics pack to something far better to work with, and look at, for these. I love the style. It especially works well with the castle.

Here are the updates to my Wanderer's Paradise (Caution: A few/many pictures):

Spoiler: Central Hub: (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Sand Castle: (click to show/hide)

I love that both clubs have their own entrance/exits, and also meet up at the middle (dance club: The Boiling Point), which are also so close, yet so far apart; and they share the scenery of the floor display next to the dining room and pond/spa. The Watering Hole has the water part visible, and The Fire-Pit has the magma part visible. None can spot each other. That entire underground club, along with the open-roof swimming pool (especially when raining at night; Thank Nimrod and Luna for your help), both have to be my favorite features of this place so far.

Eventually. In the meantime while I wasn't getting any new ideas for it, I just added onto it a bit more. The overall structure of the castle's now done, and with it's own beacon now.

Thanks for the input everyone :). I know I'll need a while to be good enough with a tablet to do anything.
On another note, is there any reason why paint.net would work poorly with a tablet? I get massive delays before the program responds to my input for some reason, which is a shame since I would've loved to use it for my pixel art. Otherwise, do any of you have a program to recommend to replace it?

Fish swimming around in a tank (http://skycoders.no-ip.org:60001/html/boidfish4/main.html) ... version 4. Along with a bunch of behind-the-scenes changes, the fish now have an option panel where you can customize some aspects of the simulation, like various constants and options like "use soft boundary", which makes the fish gently turn towards the center of the tank if they swim out of the boundaries, instead of bouncing them off of an imaginary wall.

(The one I posted before was version 2.)

It's weirdly fun changing the separation and cohesion radii and seeing the fish change formation. I don't know why, but it is. Is it possible to change the minimum and maximum top speeds of the fish? I don't see it in the options, but it's entirely possible that I am just extremely dumb.

I see maximum acceleration, which affects turn speed when the fish start schooling. Update frequency and logic tick length both change the speed of the simulation, but don't allow for control of the range of speeds fish can move at. I meant an option that would let the user clamp the speed fish can move at to be between two values.

Majestic? It seemed like you were going for spooky. He's all creepy and looming, his body appears damaged or decayed, the wings have a sick green glow and the air around him looks dirty. I think you should try for features that evoke an uncanny valley sort of feel, or maybe his face is shaped like a human's but is featureless like the rest of his body (pits for eyes but there are no sockets, no mouth, no nose holes or eyebrows). Also, judging by the way the tops of his wings are illuminated, maybe his shoulders should similarly be outlined by the light.

Looks good. On gunin's comment about the light, I think that the shadows are correct, as the wings are shadowing the shoulders, but I'm not certain about that. For the majesty part, I think antlers look pretty majestic.

Really didn't feel like fucking about the head anymore so I just slapped some textures on it and made it look passable at best.

In any case, it was supposed to be a mixed bag, something to keep you guessing as to what the hell the thing is, or to evoke the feeling of something that's fallen from grace or whatever. Also yeah, the shoulders could've used a bit more light but not too much so the contrast remains nice and strong in that area.

Welp, I finally made something. A little something based off of a big something. Namely, a little gargantuan from Diablo. More specifically, the gargantuan that Nazeebo summons as an ultimate ability in heroes of the storm. I started drawing a creep next to him (the gargantuan can pick up enemy creeps to swing at people), but I erased it after failing to get the head right multiple times.

After looking at some other Minecraft creations for inspiration, I stumbled across some tips that sped up, and optimized some rather tedious tasks. Thanks to it (Clone tool rocks), I managed to move the Altar of Origins to a better spot, with minimal hassle (besides learning how it reads to/from coordinates for copy/pasting constructions), freeing the last hall doorway. Any future builds will also be far quicker (including plugging coordinates to/from locations), now that we can fill in spaces using coordinates and reference points, instead of manually placing each individual voxel by hand. I enjoyed the aesthetic of a castle in mid-build, and built to code, the first time around, but now future builds won't involve nearly as much work (in case it becomes a means of discouraging future location builds). That also means, I can now precisely, and more quickly, build the Airship Excalibur (which is still just the 100m+ pre-measure bounding box right now), now I have a more efficient means of getting it done; combined with the clone tool, I can even go modular with some designing; and thanks to where I placed the project coordinates (0-point, basically), so many things can be done better now; especially where mirroring it would be concerned (then again, I can always go the lazier route, build half-a-ship, and mirror that from center (via MCEdit), and get the job done in half the time, at least for the exterior).

Spoiler: Anyway, here's what I've been up to lately, thanks to some new stuff I learned about Creative Mode. (click to show/hide)

I like that I'm able to replicate some stuff I've had in my sketch book; although being limited to cubic-meter voxels does force me to work around other details I otherwise would prefer to have (I had to re-build the house's architecture a little different from what I had in mind, relative to what I built in The Sims 2 before, to make it work). At least if I already measured things, and noted them, I can at least make them to-scale, and cheat a few finer details here and there.

EDIT:
Spoiler: And here's my map of the environment so far (Chunky is the program I used to get the map built; edited in Paint.NET) (click to show/hide)

EDIT EDIT:
I like how the landing pad looks so much, I might make that the next Hub theme. But that'll be later on. If I get enough stuff made (open to ideas too), then I might even share the world for anyone else to toss in their own stuff. Feel free to reverse-engineer the gods' altars if you like as well, so you know how I made them, and made them work. I love command blocks.

Thanks for the input . By ISG I suppose you mean indie survival game?

Traditionally Illustrated Suggestion Game, but occasionally Internet Suggestion Game. Think along the lines of Homestuck or The Warrens of Oric the Awesome.

Makes more sense that what I was thinking, maybe I'll give it a try at some point. Is there any place where I can find tips for running one of those?

Poke around FG&RP, and run a search on the Gamer's (Gaming?) Block thread. If nothing comes up, ask in Gamer's Block. There are also plenty of (mostly short-lived) ISGs you could take a look at for some examples.

Your biggest tip: only call it a ISG if it has images.

Else prepare for the entire thing to get ignored by an endless argument over semantics.

Actually made, albeit little, progress on the Excalibur using the clone tool in Minecraft. I updated the grid where it's contained, and will use the grid I made when I first started on the ground to map it. This'll come really in handy for getting scaling correct deck by deck. Clone from center, and which grid points, and build it vector by vector. Fill tool can do the rest. Looks like another airship will eventually fly the skies, and I might even add in the details for all the rooms. Additional points if I can get things functional and cool looking while at it. Might require more redstone and command block trickery (a good test for logic gate tricks).

EDIT:
Instead of shrines in that world, I'm using fancy tech to do the over-rides (they generally look similar to the teleporter next to the sand castle). Already got a time machine setup, and a small teleporter network to different art locations. 1 for the main project (Excalibur; red beam shines), and another for freestyle art (black beam) not too far away. Depending on scale of projects, I might even have pixel art lands and the like too. Whatever comes to mind. I can just clone a teleporter, and give it new jump/return coordinates. All that really remains so far is a weather control device. Definitely more efficient to use than the solar panel reset button I had previously.

So, for work, I got a hold of a portable 3D LIDAR scanner, and after using it for a while, can't wipe this stupid grin off of my face. This thing is epic.

I partially scanned my desk (http://modelcluster.com/#/scans/5542ea2c43739ab746ab0db0) and my car (http://modelcluster.com/#/scans/5542eb2843739ab746ab0db1). The web viewer doesn't apply textures, but the scanner does full color textures on the items too. It died so I can't exportl the full color screenshots.

So I got this thing calibrated and talking with the ViS camera. Now I'm doing scans in full-color and with very reasonable quality.

My girlfriend (https://sketchfab.com/models/9213bfa1e00e48429a7fd5fe2979c3a3) volunteered to model (https://sketchfab.com/models/e000a13e938e4baab17f9cf54c5894b2). I then worked on doing a good-quality scan of a chair (https://sketchfab.com/models/9975137081944116ae0bfbd5b553c68a), which didn't come out as well as I liked.

The web viewer is inexplicably buggy with the textures sometimes. If it doesn't look right, visit another page on the website then go back. Reloading doesn't always work.

They're tokens for an RPG in which I wrote myself into an illustrative corner by not making the races nice generic things. The last five are blanks, bases without a token, and they're just there because I enjoy symmetry and didn't have a set of skills to populate them with. They can't be read by themselves.

I'm no expert, but the voice in my head screaming "RADICAL" thinks it is, so that is probably great art.


Just experimented w/ making a random generator: http://orteil.dashnet.org/randomgen/?gen=3JuUb22Z (http://orteil.dashnet.org/randomgen/?gen=3JuUb22Z)

Weird first choice, but this could be useful. Wondering about running an rpg over the summer using this... back to revision.

Did you consider having any wisps of smoke leaking from the holes in his torso?

This. It needs more shading and shadows to match the detail on the scarf better.

Not sure whether this would make it better or not. It would certainly fit, given the smoke from the orb, but it might screw up the torso's shading.
Give it a try, but be ready to revert it, I'd say.

My own thing is that his posture doesn't suggest floating, but the length of his skirt-thing does, especially in the back/sides. I'd either lengthen out the back of it or try adding feet sticking out underneath. But again, trying to match the existing shading might be difficult.

Lotsa nice depth and detail going on here, good work mate. :D

also tonight i felt a bit down so i saw that as an excuse to draw a sad dinoface

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

:c

At least i feel better after getting it out on a canvas. Regular sadness is probably the emotion that i've drawn the least so far, if one discounts the UberwangstTM things i've drawn before (since they're a stronk mixture of bad feels instead of only sadness). I also don't expect to be drawing a lot of non-comical sad faces, since they tend to be... Well, sad. :P

I haven't drawn seriously in a while. A long while. A vinesauce binge of Tomagatchi Life inspired me. Made fanart of the vinesauce mii character "Cling-on". She's kinda sorta similar to a klingon but not really. Like not at all. Except maybe the ridge thing she has for a nose.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Not done yet. Quite like how it came out so far though. Proportions seem good, general shape seems good. Shading seems to give the idea of the light source. Quite like how the head and the facial area came out. It actually resembles what I was going for in my head.

Listened to "Godspeed You! Black Emperor" while working on it. Took me maybe an hour total. 20 minutes doing the lineart, rest of the time shading it/graying it in. Maybe I'll go back and try to clean up the lineart sometime. Damn, Godspeed You! Black Emperor is sooooo chill I forgot how great it is.

So anyway, drew a thing. Alienish-elfish-humanoid tomboy girl with a ponytail character concept...thing.

Spoiler: thing (click to show/hide)

I think it came out pretty swell. Final lines are much cleaner than past work. I found that using the gray shading I've been doing and then putting an overlay allowed me to just block in colors on the overlay layer, which in this case meant make everything cyan. Really easy way to add color while maintaining the different shades and lights.

Took me maybe an hour to get it all done then maybe half an hour of nitpicking and cleaning up coloring that went outside the lines. Listened to post-rock while working on it, was chill.

Tall and Short Variations (http://i.imgur.com/DjMTTcp.png)

Sorta happy with how these came out, but they need some work. The Androgynous sprites were another experiment; I figure they can be assigned to either male or female characters when randomizing, letting fewer sprites go farther, and doing a bit to step outside the binary. Animating 54 possible sprite variants is just stupid though... I'm hoping to reduce the work by just animating arms and legs, and making all non-torso parts as generic and reusable as possible.

Thought this up about 7 minutes ago.

Code: [Select]
Chess Varient: Defend and Fortify

A space may be occupied by up to 2 pieces.
A capture does not take place normally; instead you must move a piece into a space that is already occupied by one of your pieces AND the piece you want to capture.
This means an enemy piece can move onto a space that is occupied by one of yours without capturing yours.
The exceptions are the King and Queen, who are captured normally if any enemy piece moves onto their space.
Rooks, Bishops, and Queens may move through and past spaces only occupied by one piece, instead of stopping.
The board starts with two pawns on each starting space instead of one each.
Pawns may now move up to three spaces on their first move, or if the move would result in a captured piece (meaning the target space must have one of your own and an opponent's piece), one to the side and one or two forward (still only on the first move).

Players start with two additional rooks, located with the bishops.
Players start with two additional bishops, located with the rooks.
There is a new piece, the Archer, who can normally only move  one space orthogonally (like a king without diagonals); but when moving a piece from a space containing an archer, you may move the archer with it (and instantly capture a piece they land on). Players start with two archers, on the spaces containing their knights. However, the downside is that if an enemy piece moves onto a space containing an archer, it immediately captures the archer and any other piece on that space.

Edit a few hours later:

I had wanted to distort it along a sphere where the mouth is but it turned into the sickle thing at the bottom. Started out with the Giger-inspired head at the top and worked downwards. I guess a spindly Cacodemon is probably the closest fit to its actual biology if it has any.

For why, my normal artwork is always geared towards grokking the physics and geometry of life, generalized. This was just something really weird that happened when I tried and failed to do Giger's raging tubefetish.

If your braincase makes the same stuff, the logical solution is to take the samey stuff and catapult it into a new level of imagination. Gird it with samey-newness, and make monotony an art form.  :P

Despair not Jopax, samey stuff is better than no stuff (which is my case right now). An obvious solution would be to draw the samey stuff until you run out of samey stuff and then you can make new stuff again!!

Still the same guide (http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=10655) :P

And yes, it does have knights. In fact, it arose as a side effect as one of the players featuring the knights of Cydonia in his backstory, as a blatant muse reference. Then the backstory got interesting enough to justify said blatant reference, and a city state was made.

Though for reference - whilst they're all technically part of the same kingdom, Cydonia, Alfar, and Thasakris were all once separate nations until militarily united under Cydonia, and they still retain some degree of independence despite having no formal nation status. The Dwarves of the Deep Halls joined willingly in return for the trade, given that they were situated in the middle and didn't have much choice.

The grey plains and northern wastes mark the edges, with the city in the lower left being a surface city of Drow known as 'The City of Canopies' of mysterious purpose. The wall to the North predates the nations and towers over the land beneath, with few stories about what lies beyond agreeing. And there's the desert that just creeps onto the eastern edge which is most likely due to some sort of magic at that latitude and not because I briefly forgot how geography works.

Ground is just a background (you can see "trees" reflecting off the pocketwatch - that's the same thing), the water is actually a flat marble-textured plane. I didn't really put much effort into that. :P

What happened in the dream was that I was dragged into a building that was French-Italian influenced; The captors tied my arms down and weighed down my legs as to keep me in the water.
The rest of it got very weird and foggy; like the steam in the picture.
(I was contemplating making it just me being held up, but I wanted to recreate the dream in a PG-13 sense... again, it got weird.)

Thanks! But I can say with 100% certainty that the lack of flashiness is a combination of intentional stylistic decisions and user limitations (translation: me being bad and not wanting to overextend my abilities, instead aiming for a cohesive scene) rather than any technical limitation on RenderMan's part.

Great work! I especially like your forest design. The mountains are really well-done, too.

Protip for next time you make a map, though: it looks better if you have a more harshly shaped continent. Don't feel like you have to be conservative in your continent design--experiment a little.

Nice map. Worth the wait :P Really like the forests.

But yeah, to put the critical hat on for advice:
The rivers clash slightly, and could do with being a little sharper.
Coastlines are generally really jagged, fractal things. Feel free to go more fjords on them.
The sea could do with a little colour, as it somewhat clashes with the coloured mountains etc...
And that's all I really have.

As for names, I regularly come up with some compound word (for example, for a mountainous region maybe rockspires) and then start translating it into an amalgam of dead languages. The problem comes when people notice :P

As much as I wish I could take credit for the forest, it's actually a photo. :( Sorry to disappoint. I did some minor editing (faking depth-of-field and changing some lighting) to make the picture work better with the character, but the exercise was really just learning how to use Pixar's geometric area lights and environmental lighting to match the lighting in a preexisting scene and cleaning it up in Photoshop.

I spent the better part of five hours today designing a part for a restoration project. I'm making a part that didn't exist twenty years ago, but in the form and style that the original designers would have used. It's innately challenging, knowing that there are better ways of going about something, but having to stick to inferior levels of production tech. Not to mention trying to stick to the visual style of the original concepts.

Use PNG unless you're intentionally going for shitty jpeg artifacts.

For pictures (like, camera-pictures), JPEGs are better from a size-based standpoint. Not really a problem for most people, but small file sizes are important if you're, for example, making a website. For most other things (logos, icons, and sometimes comics) PNGs are more useful. JPEGs also don't store transparency, so you'd have to use a PNG for any partially transparent images.

Also, I've found that JPEGs on higher quality settings are usually pretty much indistinguishable from PNGs at a glance (unless they contain lots of static or slight gradients). After a certain point, the difference becomes mostly inconsequential in practice.

Point in case:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(Which is also a thing I drew that I am posting here.) There is basically no contrast because I lost my only 6B pencil (and also because I undercompensated for scanner washout), which drops me back down to drawing with an HB clutch pencil, which is absolutely terrible for most styles of shading. The clouds are charcoal.

I can't find a shop that actually sells art pencils. One day...

And bonus version with further electronic fiddling that looks better but isn't actually an accurate representation of the drawing:

Also re: shading, i made a silly little thing in Game Maker yesterday.

(http://puu.sh/i5Rzq.png)

Basically, it simulates shading on a sphere without actually using spheres. At the moment, all the spheres are at the same plane of altitude, but the light source can go up and down, and the lighting changes accordingly. You can try it out if you want (https://www.dropbox.com/s/hgope5cudgsq9sb/lightblarg.zip?dl=0), although it's probably not going to be amusing for more than a few seconds. It's mostly meant as a little tool to aid in shading. :v

Entry-level ones are not prohibitively expensive anymore - lots of people have them. If you're willing to DIY and fiddle with electronics, they're very very affordable.

The high-res, multi-color FDM machine we now have (http://i.imgur.com/IhvN9hH.jpg)? I'd say it's pretty solidly 'super expensive' territory. But it will start saving us money in about 4 months. These are very similar to the machines that Shapeways uses to print models.

Also...maybe the environment wasn't that welcoming when you tried. Maybe make your skills known to close friends, and then maybe a reputation will form and you'll be recognized and acknowledged in that field, if this wasn't known by them already. :D

Thanks, Tiru!
And for the recomendations, too. Though I never really wanted to sell things I make to strangers. But I follow some people who do arts of different kinds for living. I noticed that their popularity obviously correlates with the amount of posts/ things they make in {unit of time}. I can't force myself to work with beads every day...
...and that is why I don't do this for living.
But I'm very-very pleased that you liked it.

This is a papyrus from a RPG forum game I'm planning it will be about ancient pyramid full of treasure that gator-men/fairy squirrels/bird-men will try to pilfer. It will be presented like this but of course just as extras, the rest will be text v: (it will also include papyrusized character sheets and other such minutiae).

But back to topic: is it readable? It's supposed to be small but long, but readibility is important. Also, can you make out the story behind this papyrus or does it require more details to be understood?

I think it's very good! The art style is both clear and nice-looking.
My interpretation of the story is that gator-dude is walking and he walks up to a building (an inn, I'm guessing from context) where he gives a red birdman money. He goes to sleep in the red birdman's inn, and then two orange birdmen join the red to kill him in his sleep. They take his money and leave his dismembered body for the crows.
The only thing I'm unsure of is the white-mabobber on gator-dudes head. It seems to be a part of his body, but I can't tell what.

It looks like either a hat (that he hangs up on his bed-post) or a sword slung on his back (that the birdmen use to murderize him).

Tiny tip in emulating Egyptian art :3 (As far as I recall)
They always showed the full body--as in, arms and legs, with the palms facing the viewer. (It followed their belief that if an arm or leg was missing...as the depictions were interpreted to be distinct to those they depicted...well, afterlife would reflect.)
My wording is messy.
That is nice art.

I think it means betrayal (without knowing why though, I think its with the harvest or...drought?) :O
It easily conveys a message though--the problem is how it is interpreted (which doesn't mean its your problem now, I think, because -small details matter-).
Something with the sun and moon also seems to matter there, given how the betrayal happened when the gatorman was asleep.

I don't see what's wrong with the font. You can't really do anything to change it at this size. The only problem I can see is with the "current spells learned" line. Does that includes both square thingy sections, or is it split in "current spells" and "learned"? Everything else is awesome.

Edit: I might have something to show soon, it will depend if I manage to make it look good enough. My first attempt ended up looking horrible.

Yeah, now the 'Spells' word is a bit higher than others and the arrows are more standing out to point 'Current' and 'Learned' words to proper boxes.

Hmm... I think I liked the old one better. :P I know I'm being contrary, but it's hard to tell that the "spells" and "learned" words are associated, and the underlines on "current" and "Learned" are distracting (especially the curl by "current" that looks like a letter "r"). Also distracting is the "t" in "CURRENt" being lowercase. The "T" in "INVENTORy" is capitalized, but then that leads me to noticing the now-distracting lowercase "y" in that word (move the bottom pixel to fix that one).

AHA, now i finally have an answer as to why i always draw things in a 3/4th view instead of a direct front view!

Spoiler: crazyeyes go (click to show/hide)

that's why

Profile (AKA side) view is a lot easier than front view, but comes with the disadvantage of obscuring half the face for the viewer, which isn't nice for a style like mine that depends heavily on expression. Therefore, 3/4th view. :v (another reason being that constantly changing between front and profile in comics looks very stiff)

I swear I feel the same way sometimes. Personally, I think it has to do with the design of the character. If it's a character with a long snout, it's difficult to make them look good while facing the viewer because you need so much foreshortening. The opposite goes for humanoid faces...It's a lot easier to make them face the viewer, like Urist McScoopbeard's avatar up there.

But yeah, human faces are a LOT easier to draw frontally than "long snout" faces (even though i rarely draw actual human faces). I still find 3/4th view to be more comfortable though, partly out of habit, and partly because i don't like being soul stared by my own drawings. :P (the front view up there being a surprisingly mild case of soul stare)

I have finally discovered that GIMP's group selection tools have an option to limit the selection based on other layers. I draw lines on their own layers, and can now select thin interior segments filled with partially transparent pixels, without it selecting the entire line.

AKA, less time spent manually filling in large blocks of colors. I am happy now.

Spoiler: It's this option, under the 'fuzzy select' and 'select-by-color' tools (click to show/hide)

Highly impractical but sci-fi ain't about realism, it's about cool shit. So here's an overly thin robot with too many arm joints and a weird neck. there's the little stick figure displaying roughly how the arms attach to the robot body in the upper right corner.

It applies to art especially. Keep at it and actively study and try to get better and you'll see results eventually ^^

I'm not Jopax, but the thing that's helped me most other than raw practice and that I'm pretty sure I've seen him posting about is actively studying what makes a good artwork. I managed to go from not being able to draw faces to decent at portraiture (I'll post pics soon) in the space of six to twelve hours, because I had nothing to do in exams except study my ID photo and work out exactly how the shadows and contours fitted together. Practice is a lot more useful if you have a target and know what to change.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Jopax on June 24, 2015, 01:29:59 pm
Yeah, studying smart can cut down on a lot of time, especially when you have someone point some things out to you along the way, that's why mentors are so damn swish, other than pushing you to work harder and being a second pair of eyes to spot what you're doing wrong they also teach you things that they took hours upon hours to figure out. And it's up to you to take that knowledge and use it.

Another good thing to do while studying this stuff is to test yourself often. Whenever you think you got something, put it into practice and then compare with what you were aiming for, this is the easiest and quickest way to spot what you're doing wrong and that's most of the work right there, once you have the question it's pretty easy to figure out the answer, either by yourself or with the help of the internet/someone else.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Itnetlolor on June 24, 2015, 02:19:07 pm
I generally chalk things up to chance.

No matter how good you are at something, there's always a chance you'll suck terribly, or excel incredibly, or hell, not make a difference at all; no matter how much effort you put into it. Kinda a reason I never practice anything. What's the point?

In summary: There's a reason why I don't see rank nor skill in anything I see or do. I mean, if 'Beginner's Luck' exists, then 'Expert's Misfortune' also exists. Level of awareness (education) is still a contributing factor, however; which separates arts from sciences.

EDIT:
To clear things up more; I never practice, I prefer to have fun, or keep myself busy. My best works are not work, at all.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Urist McScoopbeard on June 24, 2015, 03:46:24 pm
@FArgHalfnr, I am also not Jopax, but I would still advocate practice. Practice is fun after all, as long as you are drawing what you want to be drawing. MY contribution to this suggestion smorgasbord is that you should practice drawing a diverse array of things. It feels pretty bad when you can draw a really cool side of a mountain, but then the rest of the landscape is shite. Same goes for figure drawing, draw the face epically, but everything thing else is wonky, it feels awful.

You can start anywhere really, Bay12 is a good jumping off point. Just ask around this thread, which has become the new de facto art thread, or ye olde engraver's guild. Once you feel like you've got the ball rolling check out Conceptart.org (WARNING: very professional and oftentimes needlessly harsh in the name of criticism) or even Cartographersguild.com if you're into maps. Another site you can try is DeviantArt (mixed feelings and results here, but a lot of good guide material can be found amidst the sea of ,"what am I looking at?")

If you really do just like art and want to get better consider taking some art classes either in your school (if you're going to school that is) or even in a community college/arts college around you (that's what I did. I did both actually, but they were both extensively pencil-drawing courses and as such its really the only medium i'm half competent in.) Another piece of advice is to not start with digital art, using a mouse is ridiculous and something that's really just gonna hamper you forever and learning to use a tablet is actually rather tough due to it not being 100% accurate and quick as your arm would like, even experienced artists have a tough time going digital if they never used a tablet before.

EDIT: speaking of digital art, my current Wacom Bamboo is starting to get a little old and to compound the matter i've bent its USB plug some and in the next year or so i'll try and maybe weasel my way to the proper familial authorities to buy me a new tablet as a Christmas gift or something. Anyone try those fancy new tablets where the computer screen is ON the tablet? I've looked a number of these and at the moment the Ugee 19" seems like my best bet for an art-related gift.

Post by: Shook on June 25, 2015, 10:11:46 am
Only ever heard of the Cintiq being such a thing, so no, can't say i have any experience. :v

Also re: arting, can confirm that as long as you keep drawing more things, you'll get better. Intensive studies gives you MUCH faster progress, but depending on your personality, might not be as fun as just dicking around and experimenting at your own pace and behest. I know i belong to that group, but others might relish the feeling of working hard for it, and the results of said work even more. The beauty of it is that there's room for both (and more) approaches.

Also also Jopax i'm pleased to see how gud you're gitting, i wouldn't be surprised if i saw your artings on an MtG card in the future. c:

Arx, push your contrasts more. Make the darkest parts darker to stand out more from the light parts and the somewhat dark parts. I tend to do the same thing in non-digital media. My art teacher in high school (took her classes for all 4 years) was always telling me the same thing, push your contrasts, everything blurs together from smudging and a lack of contrast, don't do that, push your dark values to stand out more, etc etc.

@Allee, sure thing, just shoot me a PM whenever you want to discuss it further.
@Shook, thanks bro, and hopefully one day you will :D (nice dawg btw)
@Spess, uh, thanks, it's always nice to see people geek out over something I've made, kinda validates all the effort ^^
@Arx, aside from stronger contrasts (tho this could be a lighting thing, we don't know how the original looked) pay attention to the shapes and planes of the face. By this I mean that the face can be generally divided into flat geometric shapes so it's easier to work with lights and perspective before smoothing it all out nicely. In your piece for example the area around the eyes seems off. Now this is partly perspective and partly light not showing the shape of the face properly. This makes his head look kinda too squarey and distorted because if he's at this angle to us, we wouldn't see that much of the side of his head.
This is really hard to explain properly with just words XD
Do you have the reference you used for this? It's much easier to compare with that and figure out what's wrong.

Post by: Jopax on June 25, 2015, 02:37:21 pm
See, looking at that you can tell that the proportions are off in certain places but most importantly that the side of his face should be more visible because of the angle of the head (going against what I said earlier, basically, I thought you made his left (our right) side wrong, but as it turns out it's the other way around it seems and his head is at a different angle than I thought). You've esentially shrunk a portion of his head while doing the rest properly which makes it look odd.

When doing these it's best to sketch out an outline and get the proportions right first before committing to any details. This is most easily done if you observe the face itself and figure out some sort of landmark so to speak which you lay down and then figure out the proportions of the rest of the face according to that.

Post by: Arx on June 25, 2015, 03:29:31 pm
Thanks a ton guys!

@Jopax thanks for all the structural advice. I adjusted the shape of parts of his face, and it looks a bunch better. Next time will probably be easier bearing all that in mind.

@Shook that was super helpful. The little nitpicks are what I can't always pick up myself (it's exactly like debugging code!), so the extra pair of eyes is really handy. I initially was drawing him from life, but we both figured it would be easier from a picture, because classes.

Oh yeah and screw the stubble. No-one likes stubble. :P

I noticed that too. I don't know if there is any scientific research on that, but I'm pretty sure that a correlation between the two was established. Maybe creative people tend to find real life dull in comparison to their imagination? I think artistic skills leads to sadness, not the other way around.

Post by: Itnetlolor on June 25, 2015, 06:41:14 pm
It seems like the less emotional I am, the better and/or more precise my work tends to get; as if I'm more like computing my illustrations, and engineering them, rather than just plain designing them. Could maybe explain some of the stability I find in some of my works, like the airships, or my sand castle. Basically, the more disconnected with life or the world I am, the better I work; the more human I become (emotions), the more I'm prone to rendering crap quality work. Maybe it implies I shouldn't have been born human, but rather... something beyond comprehension, or an AI, or something.

However, I do make decent art work, and I get depressed on a pretty regular basis. Real life, to me, sucks badly enough, I wish there was some way (theoretically, at least) to shatter the concept of Reality. Like, remove the square-cubed law of physics, and have giants roaming the earth without fault, and such; or common sense within societies actually being common. Or if gods really do exist, they can be comprehensible, or better yet, regardless if they're immortal or not, they CAN be killed (kinda like bacteria killing a creature, like an X-wing to a Death Star). On that note, I wonder how a god would taste when cooked? I would assume it would be mindblowing.

Good artists may be perfectionists. Perfectionists can be prone to depression due to not meeting their own impossibly high expectations. They can regularly get negative thoughts and energy due to not being able to reach their goals and expectations. So maybe they're good at something but they can't realize that because they never meet their impossible expectations, and wind up focusing only on their negatives (ex: "I'm not good enough.") and ignore their positives (ex: "I'm not perfect but I am good at this."). Lots of negativity can result in depression.

I'm generalizing a hell of a lot in this statement but it gets the point across.

Anger and all its cheeky cousins (which includes frustration) have a tendency to ruin your focus and higher thinking, so naturally this makes drawing harder (unless you're at a "i can do this without thinking" skill level, in which case i'll consider you to be magical), as well as pretty much anything that doesn't involve hulking out and smashing. Ever heard a sensible debate between two angry people? :P

Also, i don't think it's as much about the intensity of emotions as it's about being in touch with them. I know at least one guy who says he's rather disconnected from his emotions, while i personally feel more like i'm haplessly floating around in the River of Feels. It's possible that i'm one of those HSP people, but it's also possible that i'm not. In any case, a strong connection to your emotions is typically good for "artsy" drawing, while the opposite is good for technical drawing. Of course, they're not mutually exclusive, and neither is impossible to do for anyone. IS IT NOT NICE?
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Jopax on June 26, 2015, 12:13:19 pm
It's got to do with emotions, atleast for me, like, the more intense they get the more easily will I switch to channel that shit onto paper mode. Now, this doesn't always result in something good, but more often than not I've been told that my best stuff came from these moments. It's kinda unrelated that most of my stuff is dark and depressing because I can do just the same with happy emotions, it's just that those have been somewhat more rare, and when they're intense I'd rather savor them while they last instead of throwing them out onto a piece of paper.
Though obviously, there's more to it than that, and certain styles and mediums lend themselves much more to an emotional approach than others.

In any case, here's something I've been noodling on for the past couple of weeks, it's been quite the piece for me and one that I've spent a relatively large number of hours on(alteast compared to most of my other stuff). It's gotten to the point that I'd call nearly finished, got some finishing touches to do, think up a proper background and fiddle with the various settings to make it look neater.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The idea for this came after I saw something similar in the shapes James Zapata was doodling during his demo at IFCC. I sketched it out several times but it just kept nagging at me to do it properly. In the end it deviates a lot from the original one but I don't think that's bad honestly, it just leaves me room to approach the idea again in the future :D

Apparently even going with absurdly large canvas sizes like 4000x4000 means little unless you increase the resolution of pixel per inch. This was 100 pxi instead of the standard 72 pxi.

Well, my iPad doesn't save in png unless I email the picture to myself.

It looks fine bruh. Don't be so hard on yourself. Don't worry about how good you are now. Just draw regularly and you'll get better.

If you want critique, make the outlines or lineart darker once you color it. Thick and/or dark lines really helps make a cartoony look.

Drew Squigly from Skullgirls, the best zombie girl ever. Character design obviously isn't mine, but I did do the pose and proportions and stuff myself, so it's slightly more than just redrawing references that I've been doing as exercises. Yee.

Came out decent, albeit incomplete. I experimented with using several different sized brushes and even tried using the airbrush instead of the brush tool for lines. I'd shade some more but not know.

The armour arms and legs looks too irregular to resemble any conventional armour (though perhaps that's purposeful). The helmet also looks a bit lumpy, and i'm not sure you'd be able to adjust the visor-thing from where it is - and the attachment point looks wrong for it to swing open. If there was a pivot there, it'd make more sense of something full-faced.

It was meant to be a scale armor. As for the helmet, I went for the rule of cool, so it's not surprising that it isn't realist. I used this picture as a reference for the helmet:

Had another fey mood. Had a drawing for a good while, and decided to finally build it. It's another structure that takes advantage of the path, and works as an intersection and checkpoint. It's another adventurer's hotspot. A multipurpose tower. Be it for trade, marketplace, housing, INN, restaurant. The list goes on. Included with it is it's own connection to the Central Hub, complete with it's own recall statue. It's placed relative to position of the Sand Castle/Ultimate Beach.

Do a bunch of these: http://www.quickposes.com/gestures/challenges
Not necessarily with a tablet, anything you're comfortable with will do. Try to get the proportions of the body right more than anything else. Once the proportions are right you shouldn't have much trouble filling in the details from reference or something.

So in short, proportions, figure those out and you should be fine for the most part.

I have one of these - it's pretty handy, but make sure you get a good one. The joints on mine tend to slowly (or sometimes quickly) slide back to being straight.

The other thing I did that really helped nail how people tend to pose naturally and how the proportions work was spend several afternoons in a library sketching pretty much everyone and everything. Oh yeah, and studying anatomy and skeletons.

That looks pretty good!  Though I was a bit confused about the puncher's torso, since to me it looks like we're seeing the back of his right arm's shoulder.  The punchee looks like he just got knocked out instantly and is in the middle of Rag-dolling HL2 style.
I don't know why but when something is replaced with the word of it, it's hilarious.

It's a coin-toss on whether or not we're going to continue our game of Fate (http://fate-srd.com/), but for the time being, I got a creative impulse, and decided to render a scene close to the end of the story arc (or story overall).

Here's Roman Howard's (made after my SS-13 character; even his backstory is SS-13-related) ship, the "Aloha" (An AWACS ship; since he's also a back-alley chemist on the side, before the adventure began; and he prefers to see a threat and avoid it, than directly deal with it. It came handy in our adventures) escaping a space liner (we were in the cargo hold when we escaped), while it's (along with the city we're leaving) under attack from a rebel freedom force/terrorist group (don't remember which, but they were hostile towards us, and we were hitting the high road, so survival was all I was caring about).

Spoiler: For stats and story, I marked it's flaw as "Recognizably Ugly". It actually made finding it in-game quicker. (click to show/hide)

EDIT:
I realized this isn't exactly what happened, but is rather a combination of scenes. Escaping the space liner under attack (different craft at the time), and the city escape (with my ship, and another tagging along).

EDIT EDIT:
Speaking of SS-13, my avatar is footage from when being a quartermaster got the best of him, and he stole a chicken suit, and flooded the escape shuttle with chickens, and danced with them all the way to safety, when the inevitable end came along. He was extremely drunk at the time. (Actually, it's from Speedrunners. They just look alike.)

That thing is awesome, you're much better at drawing spaceships than me.


Sadly nothing new from me today, blame my lazy ass for that. It's not that I don't have anything to draw, I've got so many requests in the other thread. I should really get back to it, do you guys have any tips for that? I can't ever seem to get the motivation to draw.

Funny enough, I was feeling lazy when I made that. I guess I operate on the other side of the coin (or rather, the ridges). I do my best art when I feel lazy, than when I actually work on it. Funny that. I guess that's how I roll.

My motivation is to do it as free time. Schedule the work as free time. Basically, pass the buck where procrastination is concerned.

In my experience, that applies to literally everything about art. Cloth folds are just another of those things you have to practice to get good at - like faces, poses, foreshortening (man, screw foreshortening), and all that.

Nonetheless, those are damn good Araph. The only issue I can see is that their legs seem a little too short, or their waists a little too low, or something.

The thing with cloth that I've been told (since I hadn't ever dedicated enough time to figure it out properly) is that what matters is the hanging or attachment points. If you can figure out where it hangs from and what the shape of the underlaying object is then folds themselves aren't that hard to figure out. After that you just apply light to them to make them look like folds (while keeping the material of the cloth in mind).

Aw shiet, thanks guise. <3
The reality behind "fist" is that i got too lazy to draw the punchee's fists, a fact which also makes itself glaringly obvious on all the feet. My fault is probably that i expect to be able to draw super good with very little time and effort. :v

Naw man, you've got the proportions pretty much down (shoulder/arm/torso/leg length, cartoony faces aside) and that's the most painful part. Now you just gotta add more circles!
Spoiler: Anatomically incorrect Surfer-Dude illustrating the concept of shit-tons of circles (click to show/hide)
You can construct pretty much any organic (and many inorganic) object with circles to represent muscles and surfaces (the face and knees, for instance). Using circles also helps immensely with foreshortening, which, as Arx postulated, is terrible.

That having been said, all the circles in the world don't let me draw tophatsauruses like Shook does. Make of that what you will.

Since Surfer-Dude's slightly turned, one side of his muscles (viewer's right) should be somewhat larger. Keep in mind this is for when you flesh it out and finish up the drawing. Otherwise, its great.

The thing is, this is a pretty feeble woman wrapped in a streamlined spacesuit with a protective longcoat worn over it, and the mechanic leg is left out of spacesuit, adjusted only in length to match healthy leg is spacesuit boot. That is why foot length seems disproportional - all the other parts are scaled up a little.

Very nice design! It's simple and very memorable. I'll have to agree on the small foot thing, though. Generally speaking, a person's foot should be slightly less than the length of their forearm. If you hold up one of your shoes to your forearm so that it touches the wrist and elbow, you'll see that the shoe is about the same length.

It is pointing a bit too low, like if she was pointing it at the viewer's knee or was in the middle of raising it. Otherwise It's really good, it manages to convey what it's supposed to be really well without needing tons of small details.

There's a story that goes along with this.

So in this guild I'm a member of in World of Warcraft, there's some shipping going on. I decided I would draw a couple of pairs and asked for volunteers. The guild leader is one of the volunteers, but I can't find out who his character is shipped with. Eventually, someone suggests shipping him with another dude, whose name is irrelevant. So I sketched out this:
Spoiler: Caution: Risque and Fabulous (click to show/hide)
For some inexplicable reason, he didn't care much for it.

Also great art, I love the combination of colors and cartoony outlines. It seems I can only do one of them at a time for some reason.

Under "Tool Options" (when you have a brush selected) you have a choice of multiple smoothing options, including a stabilizer, which I can't be thankful for enough.

Final update (for now), though I'm honestly not as satisfied with this one as with the others (though the actual character is much older than the rest). (and yes, the name is a reference to the program I'm using :P)

No, not really, but I'd make sure to reference him a couple times somehow should that character end up in some game.

I like the first one best. The second seems fairly... Well, bland, to be honest. :I
Lineless drawings are hard to make work without any shading or details, and the uniform green grass field stands in stark contrast to the more detailed sky. If, perhaps, the sunset and clouds were drawn in a similar manner, it might look more coherent/intentionally stylized.

Ciiiin? I'll nudge you hard on your specificity again :P
I'm unsure how you've learned how to describe yourself with such...severity, but please balance it out with critical thinking here. o_o
Self-esteem issues?

Either way--chill on the jelly. I only started drawing when I was 18. That's after years of observation and study--but no field practice. I had to constantly listen to music [I liked] to get the flow going.
And then it came out well :D Problem is, self-judgements.
So...dude, you can seriously draw things. Just adjust that wording there to 'draw things to my expectations' or something. :P

...And no, you don't have a mental illness there. Maybe a sleight of perception, but seriously not an illness. From how it comes off online anyway. -.-

...Because this looks pretty normal. Maybe confusion of perspective (which is what I am messy with) but...really.

That's an actual thing. It's called 'how people normally draw things they see'. I'm intimately familiar with it, being only partway through the treatment. The cure is called 'an obscene amount of practice', but the treatment usually goes faster if you take regular doses of Loomis and tutorials.

Not necessarily.

You can be silly with proportions. Space cat (Spehss _ ...dude, you seriously spaced the _! Renamed again huh XD) details only one part of the full bbcode.

Code: [Select]
[img height=x width=x] img url [/img]x = # of pixels.
And you can have fun with those proportions. You can set it as freely as you want. It's a nice guide-from-scratch to know basic proportions in pixels (according to standardized measures).

IF its one or the other--the one not mentioned in the code stays 'locked', however.

-interrupting your previously scheduled pun train for a question-

I don't know if such a thing exists, but is it possible to get a drawing tablet that displays a copy of your monitor on itself as you draw?

Failing that, what would everyone recommend for tablets under ~200$ as a good starter tablet, preferably with a page-sized drawing space if preferable?  Local electronics stores only stock Intuos (I think that's what they are called) tablets.

Basically I want to make the transition from physical art to digital but I don't know if I can get the hang of drawing on something that I can't see the image on.  I know I'd use one that displays what it draws, and if I can't afford that then I don't want to spend a lot on something that might end up a paper weight....

ALSO can anyone recommend a 50-200$ scanner that performs well when scanning charcoals/pencil/colored pencil and pastels?

I'm currently using an intuos, and I can say that not having a screen on it doesn't really change much. Maybe having a bit of experience drawing with a mouse might help, but the transition isn't as hard as you might think it is (or at least it was like that for me). You might want to wait for more opinions before you make a choice though, I wouldn't want to make you buy a paperweight as you said.

*tablet questions*

I used to use an old Wacom Bamboo tablet (basically a super-cheap mini-tablet), but now I use a small Cintiq (the kind of tablet with a screen on it). Personally, I find the screen a lot easier to draw on, but given that I switched tablets as I started to get better at drawing, that might just be an inadvertent side-effect.

For under $200, an Intuos seems to be your best bet. Wacom makes good tablets and it fits your price range. For comparison, the smallest Cintiq they have is $800.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Shook on August 08, 2015, 09:01:29 pm
Man i want a Cintiq so much, but alas, i am only a poor student and can't spare the money to buy one. With that said, i'm currently on the Bamboo train (which set me back by what, 50 bucks or something?), and it works quite nicely. It did take a while to get used to (a few weeks before getting somewhat comfortable), but its small size is actually quite handy when you have a messy desk like i do, and can be worked around by zooming in for fine details. :v
Do note though, Bamboo is an outdated model by now, and as Araph says, Intuos is probably your best bet.

I've had an Intuos for almost a year, and I'd recommend it. Be prepared to practice; it's gonna take some time to get used to. Also, if you can, try not to get the really small one. I have a tiny one, and I have to zoom in in Photoshop to draw properly. Otherwise, a circle you draw on the tablet will look like an oval in your art program.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Shook on August 09, 2015, 07:07:18 am
That might also have to do with an aspect ratio mismatch, because otherwise you really are drawing ovals. :v
But yeah, small tablets (and large monitors) will exaggerate your movements quite a bit. A Bamboo-sized tablet works for a medium-size laptop monitor, but using it for a 1080p monitor is crazy, for sure.

Medium-sized Intuos user here. Had it for, I don't know, a year or so, and it works like a charm (well, less so on Linux but that's an issue with the Linux drivers and not the tablet per se, it works seamlessly on Windows).

It took me a while to get used to it and I was still drawing with a mouse for a couple months after getting it, but it's worth it in the long run.

Came up with a cool idea for a game I'm gonna try and conceptualize.

You play as a vigilante, cybernetically enhanced to have much greater reaction time than most other people, hell-bent on taking down X number of crime lords. I've been seriously inspired by SUPERHOT, and Transistor to try and make this game, you will have to interrogate these crime lord's henchmen, blow up their facilities, or any other way you can to take them down. But once you have infiltrated their base, you will only have 60 seconds (Haven't balanced anything yet, so it will probably change quite a bit.) to assassinate the crime lord, otherwise, he will escape, making you have to, once again, try and track him/her down.

I haven't really made anything past this, but let me know if you think it's a cool idea :D

Oooh, that's cool. You could probably finish it easily. Slap another shade of grey where the transparency is, then darken what you currently have grayed out to provide shadows and contrast, and you got a cool looking monochrome art piece. Reminds me of Yggdrasil or some other pagan nordic tree thing. Especially reminiscent of black metal album covers.

I'm not sure if it's meant to be in perspective? Because it seems like you tried to do a frogs-eye view of the tree (that is, looking up at it from the ground) but nothing actually converges properly. Also agreed with spess, some shading would go a long way, especially to convey the cylindrical shape of the trunk which is kinda hard to read right now.

Post by: Shook on August 10, 2015, 08:28:28 pm
Well, it's basically like having a second horizon up in the sky, where vertical lines converge instead of the horizontal ones. You might need to extend the canvas upwards to actually find the converging point, unless you're looking VERY UPWARDS (in which case horizontal lines become near-parallel, and then it looks a lot like one/two point perspective once more).

I like the texture on the touch pad. Not sure what the buttons on the pad can be used for, probably shortcuts. The pen buttons must be LMB/RMB, or maybe not. The pen holder loop isn't actually big enough to stick the pen in, which has me worried. I just know I'm going to freaking lose it. Or my cat will chew it up.

I'm not fully satisfied with this (there's a lot that could be touched up), but I'm pretty tired of working on it so it's getting a break for now. I think it's somewhat above terrible, at least.

Also I'd like to add shadows of floating objects lit from multiple angles to the list of 'things I'm pretty sure nobody loves', next to foreshortening.

Nah man, your style is fine... I mean, it's quite different from what is regular on Picture Wars now and pretty shoddy, but reminds me of that Airships game (http://zarkonnen.com/airships), even if maps are quite small and wouldn't be very fun to play on actually (steep hills (those are a bitch when you want to put something on them), only one way to get through so no going around or something) and pretty random everything (it's not a bad thing per se, but people may react weirdly to it, as they would have no idea what to do with things like that hole in silver tower), you also still haven't grasped the idea of not randomly sized rooms), but eh. I would want to see some of your armies maybe.

EDIT:
I kinda decided to put some more stuff here, but mind you those are old and suck a lot (especially the shading, I mean holy shit how retarded I must have been to do it this way). I've made them for /tg/station some time ago.

Just finished up The "Aloha!". It's a ship featured in an RPG game of Fate, featuring myself and my brothers and a couple of their friends. It's a "Recognizably Ugly" AWACS vessel (which also looks like a flying turtle wearing a lei), owned by my chemist character from Space Station 13. Reason for being an AWACS vessel is mainly because Roman Howard does some business on the side, and would like to avoid any unwanted attention, or avoid authorities (which actually came to play in a session. Found out we were being bugged/tracked, thanks to the dish (something was amiss, according to one of the PCs, noticing a radar disparity between ships, and we concluded we were being tracked (via a recent gift), and managed to dispose of the bug, while setting off a smoke bomb my character had as a backup to throw off the scent; making it seem like the ship ended up crashing (if at least to throw in some confusion)).

Now that we have some backstory, here's the ship in it's "Recognizably Ugly" glory. Say "Aloha!" to... ...The "Aloha!":

Some sketches I made today and yesterday. At first I was just wondering how a Marine would fit into power armor, but then it grew into a prototype for a hive-ganger turned Space Marine and his psyker sister turned Chaos Witch. Also thought it would be cool to give the Marine a Chaos-Star scar, trying his hardest to prove his loyalty while having that constant reminder of how he failed his world, his Emperor, and his sister.

A good start. Unfortunately, regulations require that I rate your killbot no higher than 'D' without a laser pointer on the front. (Or at least a red tinted flashlight.) Extra credit if its on a rotatable turret. Extra extra credit: rubber-band paper-airplane launcher.
Killbots come later.

I can at least run into people's legs and annoy them with this, though. :v

Ahh my first forray into the interesting, and hard world of pixel animation, looks pretty good, but i'm definitelly gonna need to add a frame between his head turning frames.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Going to work a bit more on this tomorrow, hopefully I can add a few more frames that will make it smoother.

That is an astoundingly fast improvement you've made, very nice! There's a bit of a mismatch on the lighting direction, though; on the helmet, it seems to be coming almost directly from the side, while on the leggings, it's nearly frontal. Also, about the really bright highlights, there's a little detail about the positioning of specular highlights: While matte materials are indeed brightest where the light hits most directly, a specular reflection will appear at an angle halfway in between the angle to the light and the viewer.

Spoiler: LEG PLATE ILLUSTRATION (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: also a diagram-y thing i made a while ago (click to show/hide)

The only time where a specular reflection will be squarely up against the outline of a rounded object is if the light source is behind it. Oh yeah also, if the light source is coming from the side, he should probably be casting a longer shadow on the cape. You're doing good though, keep it up! :D

also thanks very much Tawa and Cthulu wuv u guise <3

You should play around with frame speeds. It looks strange for the arms to raise/lower at the same speed, for the head to turn so slowly, and for him to spend so little time in an 'at rest' pose before being impatient again.

It looks really strange for all the moving parts to move one after another, instead of simultaneously. That's just not how people move.

That's a weird place to bend a metal boot. I'd probably have moved the entire leg.

I feel that your line weighting doesn't work. He mostly looks to be in bright daylight, which doesn't fit with super dark shadows everywhere.

Much better than your wizard.

His upper arms are a bit short, in general most peoples elbows, when at rest against their sides end up at about the same height as their belly buttons.  His upper leg muscles are also a bit oddly high.  As for the crotch I think the only strangeness is the fact it's an indentation where a bulge normally would be.  The other parts that might seem strange are all things that can be natural, like his strangely long neck.

The shoulder mahscles on his left (our right) arm also seems a bit odd. The other shoulder is fine, but this one kind of... Extends too far outward, as if his shoulder joint has been yanked loose. If you moved it a bit up and left, it might help. Otherwise a nice and fluid pose. c:

I'd say that it's just a bit too monocolor. Maybe darken the floor a bit? There's also a conspicuous bright pixel on the mid-upper-right of the dirt that makes it look like the floor is built out of doors.

Pixel art on the walls is top notch, though.

The shining should probably happen as he's moving his head (I think?). Also just saying that I liked the foot tapping :(
Otherwise it looks amazing, much better than any animation I can make (see my avatar, that's basically the best I can do (and also the only thing I ever animated)).

Good work so far.

The helmet sheen is an interesting idea. I think I'd like it better if it was slightly more ... Cartoony? Exaggerated? (More of a stylistic preference on my part than something that will objectively improve the piece.)
Also, it being a straight line makes the helmet look flat. It should curve and contour to the surface, with the right side moving more slowly. (Personally, I'd try starting the right side at the ear and sweeping up, or sweep up from the bottom where it starts now. I think either would work.)

I like that the cape now moves with the arm, but it looks too static without the bottom changing colors as well.

Reworked my knight, got rid of the foot tapping until I learn proper leg animations, but I added a sheen to his helm, but I don't know if I should tweak it, need some opinions on that.

Nice work! I like in particular that you got rid of the dark black shadows under his arm. You might want to make the shine a bit faster, though.

No, they're just limited to 256 colors.

The problem is this forum's image resizing. It would look better if you resized it with a different program (In GIMP, for example, Image > Scale Image, with interpolation set to none).

Since so many people have an avatar rotation, I decided to set up my own avatar rotation.

What do you mean that's not what an avatar rotation is?
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: flabort on August 27, 2015, 04:58:36 pm
Some stray pixels when the mouth is at the top and two steps after that (facing right).

It's clever. Not entirely original, but constructed in a fresh way. There was one guy who had his avatar on a "real" rotator, but just four versions of one avatar, each rotated like yours is actively in the act of doing; not animated, but similar.

It should be easy to keep track of you, in any case. :)

Post by: Dutrius on August 27, 2015, 05:08:45 pm
Yeah, I noticed that after I uploaded it. I think it might have something to do with rotating an image with an even number of pixels on each side, combined with GIMP's layering system, so that you can see the previous frame at the edges of the current one. I'll fix that later.

Hamazing stuff bro, the perspective here is a joy to behold. :D

Also Happyslap, it might just be me being a hairsplitter, but having different pixel sizes within the same sprite really strikes me as off. I can see why it would be so right here, given the size of the smaller icons, but then i'd just be cruel and suggest upgrading the rest of the card to the same resolution. :v
With that said, i do like the design of the card, disregarding the thing that Jopax already mentioned. Swirly golden decorations are (almost) always nice. c:

This is a preliminary sketch of one of the classes for a robot RTD idea I've been playing with. The coloring, and probably most of the linework will be redone, but I was hoping someone could take a glance and tell me which variation of legs (if any) they preferred for this guy.

Shook that cat of yours needs more !!BATSHIT INSANITY!! in the smile, also as Arx said a pair of shoulders wouldn't be amiss :D

Leghead reminds me of an old cartoon from these parts, the literal translation of the name would be footsie I think. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYZMX9AJuKQ)

Also also, lighter strokes for the hair Shookman, gives it a fluffier quality, right now it overpowers the lines of the face so it's not as in your face as it should be (that sounds bad but I don't know of a better way of putting it). Basically, mind your line weight, this might be more techincally focused but it gets the point across, when you don't have values you use lines to indicate what's important and what's not. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0zl5NnEAyU)

And finally, I started doing this Arthabit thing a bunch of folks are doing on FB and it's basically to draw every day, something I haven't done in a while. But now that I'm doing it again it feels just as awesome and just as easy as it ever was. So have some comfort zone sketches inspired by Warframe mostly:

SHOULDERS ARE FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN CARRY THEM

uh

Anyways, line weight yes, the one thing that i consistently forget all about. Did not think of using lighter lines for the hair though, so i'm definitely going to try that next time. In fact, i generally should try to overcome my laziness and not use the exact same brush size for everything. :U

Also those sketches are excellent, the only thing that catches my eye is that the BIG SHOOTA on the first page kind of looks like it's twisting along its axis. Either that, or i'm seeing it the wrong way, which is not impossible either. :P

also while i get to work on a proper !!BATSHIT INSANITY!! smile, here's a grAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAmmophone done per request

I gotta get back to doing some art again. During my trip north, I did at least make another model upgrade/update to a classic sketch of mine. A Barracuda Dropship (looks similar to the fish, and is just as vicious in combat as it's troops it carries and it's namesake). It's moddable, and would have alternative versions of the craft for different purposes, so plenty capable of multi-role purposes other than just being a dropship. Like a Hammerhead variety would be an Assault mod, or a bulk build can work as a construction craft, codenamed "Bumblebee" due to how clunky it looks post-modding (also making use of Black and Yellow construction colors; why not?). I'll upload it eventually. Done.

I can further refine the idea when I try to build it 1:1 scale, to code (chassis and up), in Minecraft. Half the fun in my designs has to be engineering them.

Bendy shib! I quite like the design of this bad boy, although it has several cases of mismatching lines/perspective, most notably on the front wings. I do recall you preferring to skip straight to the actual drawing, but i can still warmly recommend having a few guiding lines on the paper to direct the wrath of your pencil. As it stands, it's a really cool design, but the directions are a bit all over the place. :I

That's more like it, but you can always go crazier, certainly. Heck, I'd twist it up to eleven but I'm too lazy atm so it'll have to wait X)

Also about the rifle, yeah, it might seem like it because of the somewhat crappy shading but the linework itself was as straight as I've ever done it :D

Also also @Itnetlolor, I really really like your approach to these things where you think it all out and put it together so it makes sense in-universe and logically. I personally work like that whenever doing proper machinery and it's both fun and greatly pleasing to do :D
Only suggestion for the ship I have tho is to perhaps streamline (I guess, can't think of a better term atm) the design itself. By this I mean the mod port things, the entire ship is smooth and flowy lines, agressive and sleek. And then you have the mod ports which are just kinda blocks tacked on or cut into the hull, they pop out at you, and not in a good way. My suggestion would be to perhaps try a more circular design on those so they fit with the aesthetic of the ship more.

Also also also, today was cheerful:

I'd be more worried if i hadn't ever seen similar things before from you, but i'm still going to ask: You doin' okay there bud? It is often said that art is a reflection of the artists inner workings (or something poetic like that, hell if i know the specifics), so... Yeah.

Also yeah, i s'pose the smile could be worse. This is more of a malicious "i will eat your spine" smile than a batshit crazy "EVERYTHINGBURNSEVERYTHINGDIESAHAHAHAHAHAH" smile. As much as i hate to admit it, violently exaggerating facial expressions is actually quite difficult for me, since it often requires going "outside" the lines. :v

Post by: Itnetlolor on September 13, 2015, 07:48:04 pm
Yeah. When I was drawing, I was kinda doing that with very limited lighting (took up a challenge with my night vision; turned out better than I thought for how dark it was when I worked on it), and the motions of the car I was in, not to mention, working with the sketch pad on my lap, and working with weight shifts as well. Doesn't help that I did use guidelines (which I almost never do) to ensure consistency.

As for the design overall, they're a binary structure mod. Parts mounted on the outside, custom interface/interaction on the inside (or another mod that augments from the inside, like advanced tracker units/CPUs for the turrets, or manual control pods if you can;t trust your AI); plus, the mod ports are also open in this picture (mainly if there are single-piece plug-n-play units (in which case, you can also double-mod, with an interior and exterior mod sharing the same slot). Sure, the plugs are ugly as sin, but think of the possibilities; plus, if you want clean sleek lines and the like, or aerodynamic mods, I can always design aesthetic kit sets to make your midnight racer look all fancy and the like (I have considered racer models for this craft as well)).

When I design, I design for fun. So what if it has a few design flaws that may clash with the aesthetic appeal? In my reality, where these things are concerned, people pay as much attention to those as a gas cap. Unless the door is missing (which they are open/missing) would they be an eye sore, but when closed it actually looks sleek. Plus, I mentioned that the flares and a few turrets use up a couple of them, hiding the outlets anyway. Modular/moddable things aren't necessarily the prettiest things/features, but they do make designs more fun to tinker with, depending on the purpose. If you want some designs ugly as sin, you ought to check out my WFAO (Weapon For All Occasions) line of weapons, which at times, tend to resemble a MacGuyver-equivalent (with similar budget applied) of the ZF-1 from The Fifth Element. But yeah, I design mostly for myself when make these things.

Given the critiques, I got an interesting idea I don't mind applying at times. Intentionally make jarring/bad design choices for certain things, and use them as a weapon of mass distraction for certain cases. If it can bug my enemy/targets or whatever, it may make an opening for an attack because it just irks them that much once they notice. Longshot as it sounds, but a funny opening to make for an attack.

Indeed, which is why I kinda cheated and took photos of my own hands to use as reference, you have no idea how annoying it is to get a good shot of something while the phone is lying on your chest so you can't see the screen at all. Took me some ten attempts to get something that was kinda useable, even then I had to fiddle with them to get them in the right position XD

You can play it in browser or download it here (http://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=ppsrh9i9i76zg186).

It's written in blank verse, based on one of the legends of Charlemagne. It is played by dancing in different ways and has over a dozen different endings and understands over 1200 different adverbs. (Word of warning, it doesn't understand anything other than adverbs though.)

Nice! The main thing there is that her face needs to wrap around her skull, if you see what I mean. There's a natural curvature, but you've drawn it nearly flat, so her entire right side looks bigger than her left.

On top of what Bauglir said, that is a very long nose she got there, which also leads to the mouth being a bit too far down. Allow me to regale upon you some fancy tips for facial proportions that i learned during arting course, if you don't mind:

Spoiler: *unsolicted advice intensifies* (click to show/hide)

It's mostly the nose that i'm poking you about, though, and it is of course possible to exaggerate facial proportions (but to be completely honest, the nose doesn't seem like intentional exaggeration). Nice job on the shading and details! c:

Man he cold, bleeding from the mouth and then just being like "i need a smoke". Also slight poke about the eyes being too high up on the head. At first you'll think like "JEEGUS THAT FOREHEAD IS HUGE" but note that our domes are typically concealed by glorious hair. Also secondary note: Your body proportions are good, but it'd be nice to see a bit more "swoosh" in the pose. Android Arts explains swooshyness better than i do (http://androidarts.com/art_tut.htm#line_art), but long story short, humens generally have some curve to their posture (also seen in the Android Arts tutorial, directly above the line art section).

then an hour later I will be frustrated to the point of resorting to more cartoon-y aspects just to have an excuse to make a chin the way I want.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Character was from a dream I had (Pleasant dream in many aspects), and she also tends to just leak into other dreams, so I figured maybe I should just draw them more often.
I also tend to not like coloring my drawings, leaving everything in grayscale, so that is why the middle is there.
and the furthest right is because inversion shows you what can happen if you decide you want crazy.

Thanks for the proportion reference. I've been slowly working out the proportions from studies, but you've actually more-or-less nailed my issue -- I've never been able to work out exactly how the nose fits into the sizes. Eyebrows almost universally sit on the brow ridge, by the way, but they tend to be a lot easier to use artistic license with (see: my picture) because they move around a lot anyway.

As for the skull, don't worry. Bio student, seriously considered going into medicine. :P

And so far you've never been too gung-ho with criticism. After all, a) if I didn't want criticism I could always either not post it or specifically ask, b) listening to criticism is by far the fastest way to improve.

Don't know how to use spoiler tags on the posts. Still rather new to this forum.

edit: Nvm, reverse engineered a post to figure it out.

I'm not sure if this board is limited to general art stuff or if there is a DF specific place to post but here it is. Glad to be here.

Dude. Welcome. You will be an awesome addition to our community, especially this arting sector.
This board isn't limited to just art, and while you could also share DF related pictures in the DF general discussion board, this is probably the best place for that.

I want to give some constructive criticism, but it's tough... perhaps it's because my eyes keep drifting to the bar stool behind him, the square of shadows around it highlight it and draw attention away from the hamster man. Nice use of detail, though the whiskers could use thinner lines like you used on the bar stool and a little less transparency there. I can't think of any other flaws, so you did a really good job.

Welcome to B12, JO! :D
Always nice to see other artists/art watchers or other people in general here. ^ ^

If..I could add on flabort's critique, there's only one thing that pokes me there (everything else is totally OK :D); the left eye of the hamster man is smudgey, right above the nose. It's subtle and takes a tiny bit off the sharp detail of the creature.

As an aside...Shook, I've noticed a very sharp quality to the edges of your lines, making up most of your art in general.
Sneaky improvement. :3 Awesome improvement.

I've also started Inktober, but my first piece is pretty suck because my fountain pen's ink wasn't flowing right when I started and I'm too much of an elitist to use a ballpoint. I should really just do another one.

I use a brush pen, really awesome once you get the hang of it, I mostly don't have the hang of it, plus I was kinda hungover when I was doing this so it got messy towards the end.
Other than that I usually use a Pilot G-Tec for really clean lines or one of the uni pin liners.

I was entirely unaware of this until today, seems like a... Potentially fun thing? I am really not good at inking drawings in meatspace, because as anyone could testify if they saw me drawing digitally or traditionally, i am NOT good at nailing the lines on the first shot. This would be good practice, however!

Thanks Tiruin! Sharp line quality is basically the first thing i look for in art (at least when lines make themselves relevant), and i've always admired artists who can do like SWISH SWISH and have the most delicious and swooshy lines ever (Hukkanaama here being a good example (http://hukkanaama.deviantart.com/art/Rat-day-561386494)). Besides that, i've always thought lines to be kind of a weak point of mine, but i'm starting to think that it's my painting and colouring that's lagging behind now. :U

Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Comrade P. on October 01, 2015, 04:56:10 pm
Mosin-Nagant would be 7,62x54, what I meant was 7,62x38 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62×38mmR), revolver rounds. Those are complicated* and not quite powerful. I'm thinking .38 Special, .40 S&W now.

*I though about how could I apply that gas seal they have on Nagant revolver, but that would require tinkering with extractor, and I haven't quite figured it out yet. You basically have to yank the whole cylinder forward in the end of the trigger pull.

You can make it a flamethrower revolver if you find yourself 20 gauge Dragon Breath rounds.

Double action actually means you don't have to manually re-cock the hammer after each shot. And firing both shotgun shell and a revolver cartridge would be just painful, I believe.

It really says 7,62x34 because I forgot cartridge length while drawing this :P
I can't quite see how to fit a rifle cartridge in a revolver. They are bottle-necked, you see, and that calls for a proper receiver. Though you can just fit the design for very powerful handgun cartridges, like .50 Action Express (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.50_Action_Express) or .454 Casull (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.454_Casull).
But that's a bit freaky if you ask me.

Remeber guys, most important thing with inking is planning and patience. A steady and accurate hand comes with practice, but if you suck at planning stuff out ahead and sketching it out properly like I do you can ruin some really neat ideas. That kinda happened here because I messed up the anatomy then tried to fix it which didn't go over too well. Still, diluting ink with water is a super fun way to get some neat results.

Post by: Shook on October 04, 2015, 01:42:12 pm
Oh jeegus that's awesome, hella awesome indeed! I'm actually not too worried about the whole inking deal, it's a nice exercise in letting go of the annoying perfectionist tendencies that i have and letting myself mess up a bit. Unfortunately, i'm sorely lacking in the patience department, which shows in pretty much every drawing of mine. :v

Also KillerHP, that seems neat so far! I'm noticing that the background blue and the grey have very similar lightness values, which kind of hurts the readability. Are you planning to shade the whole thing? Also, secondary note: The very sharp angles on the landing pad/tower makes my brain think that the ship above it should be more angular as well (either that, or the tower should be more smooth), but that might just be me. Apply grains of salt where necessary.

Also Arx, you nailed the eye-nose proportions nicely this time, although now it strikes me that his eyes are rather large. Also, if i am to be extra pernickety, it's a bit hard to distinguish between shadinglines and beard, but in all fairness, there's not that many different kinds of lines to work with here. I'd just like for a manly beard to be more visible. :v
Also also super pernickety bonus: lips are actually quite faintly outlined in meatspace, it's only the colour difference and possibly lighting that makes them stand out. This is probably also why i can get away with making mouths as a single line. :P

also bonus beardfacedoodle because you inspired me

Lines are nice and clean there, shook!

This is gonna sound like a cop-out but I did actually know most of the issues with that drawing were there, I just either couldn't be bothered to fix it (the helmet definition) (I wasn't having a lot of fun yesterday) or couldn't fix it because ink (the eyes) (also he looks like that because he's concussed (totally)).

The problem with lips is that the lighting (and colour) does make them stand out. Leaving them out is symbol-drawing as badly as outlining them! This is why I like charcoal and pencil better than I like pen.

Hoh, berry gut! I know i'm going to seem like a very nose-centric guy now, but her nose seems a bit too long and... Small. As in, a bit too narrow and doesn't stick out enough, even for a pretty lady nose. Also, if i am to be SUPER NITPICKY, her gaze seems kind of unfocused; although it tends to be exaggerated in cartoons, eyes are usually slightly crossed, since they're both focusing on the same spot from different positions. Beyond that though, excellent work on the hair and lips. :D

Thanks bro! Also don't worry, i can confirm that there's at least one other person (me) who gets caught by the "eh, can't be bothered to fix it" mojo. The most important part is that you know about those little bothersome things so that you can work on it at your behest. c:

What's funny is that the nose used to be shorter, but I second guessed myself. Also widened out the bridge, which is likely why the nose wasn't sticking out far enough proportionally. Meh. Live and learn.

Update on sci fi pixel art:
[snip]

Helpful critique!

With no perspective, it looks really flat. Take the shuttle tower - We should really be able to see more than two corner outcroppings, and the view being perfectly level with the ground on both the shuttle bay and the dirt is off-putting.

I don't get the raised shuttle bay. It's a big shuttle. That's a significant amount of weight to reinforce a structure to hold, when you could just pave some dirt. It's also barely big enough for the shuttle. This suggests it's decently advanced, for VTOL craft, but ... it's a big concrete tower. It doesn't look advanced.

The shuttle itself seems to lack wings, but otherwise be built for atmospheric use.

That shuttle tower is uncomfortably close to the control tower. I wouldn't want to work there!

The shuttle is too big relative to the control tower. It looks strange. Maybe the tower's in the background, but there's no  sense of perspective. I can't tell.

The flat-on view itself isn't very interesting. I suppose it would work for certain forum games, but if you're going for a scene that's impressive in-and-of itself, it would probably be better to use something else.

Overall, I think you'll get better results if you take just a few minutes to roughly sketch all the major objects in before working on details.

If i am to turn on Captain Pernickety (golly i love that word) mode, i'd say MORE SHADING CONTRAST, at least on this red-white ship. The tank mostly gets away with it because tanks aren't meant to be super shiny, but the shadows could maybe be a tad darker. The two battleships are INSANELY detailed; perhaps my only nitpick here would be that the gold doesn't seem shiny, although i guess that would hurt its readability against the white surfaces.

Heh. Well, it was kinda shinier but I've been criticized for that :P. I'll check if I have the old version or maybe make up a new one, it's not like it's a huge amount of work.
The worst thing is that I never got around to really use them in Pixel Wars (The Picture Wars name is meeeh), there's nobody to play with, and even if there is the match usually dies before first blood is drawn or shortly after. :/
Actually, I may set up a game somewhere around here Scratch that, I'm too lazy.

Wouldn't say that the barrels are pillow shaded, though i guess it does veer vaguely in that direction. Closer inspection, however, reveals some inconsistencies with the lighting, which i've had the audacity to point out:

Spoiler: this is still Kot's pixelwork (click to show/hide)

Basically, some places imply a camera-angle lighting, while others imply a diagonal lighting from the top right. Gotta say though, i like the details on the little dudes. :D
Also re: making things look round, that is perhaps the only thing i actually know something about when it comes to spriting. And for some reason, i felt like making an extremely generic cannon for that.

(http://puu.sh/kDpOC.png)

Nevermind that i messed everything else up. I don't feel like i should be lecturing you, so long story short, further away from center = sharper gradient, which in other words means that features should be narrower/closer near the edge. I plastered some cheesy markings on the the tip of above thing to show what i mean.

This is a picture of what it looks like in FO:NV, it looks like a piece of decoration, so I just made it black on purpose, doesn't really need to be defined as much as the other bits of the actual pistol, in my opinion.

Watered down ink. Tho the method is quite clumsy and leaves a lot to be desired. Mostly because I just dip my brush pen in water, wipe off the excess liquid and hope for the best. Really need to get some proper brushes and maybe a bottle of ink for the purpose.

So much for trying to accurately measure proportions between facial features for 20 minutes... I just had to make a dumb mistake somewhere :-\

Well, it's either that, or the jawline - the whole right half of his face is pretty good, but on the left (all that as for viewer) his jawline starts to go up way lower than it does on the original. Methinks.
Not even that. It is just the angle-y bit on the left side of the jawline that is out of place. On the original the line goes "swoosh" all along the lower jaw, and then there you have the... angle-y bit.

I like this very much, don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to figure out some minor mishaps.

EDIT: The original looks kinda like Hiro Hamada from Big Hero 6... If that was a live action. Which it wasn't. Nevermind.

Well now, that's some hella painting you got going there! Also, nose mode engaging: the nose is a bit long. :U
I suspect that this might be why the chin is shorter, since the distance between nose and mouth is absolutely perfect otherwise. Secondary nitpick for glory: Neck is a bit too long. And for the final and absolute smallest nitpick i have yet to make this year: The eyes are ever so slightly misplaced in relation to the source.

That was actually good to watch. I needed to hear that. Especially with my freelancing, and the feeling of being overwhelmed with certain tasks that discourage me, like logo design and such (or making an overall style for companies (stationery, business cards, brochures and the like)), and comparing my skillset with the final products of others that have done their work. On the plus side, it's mostly boring office crap I work with helping produce, so at least it's no big deal; but you know how companies roll.

Spoiler: A good potential reason for some of my creative dry-spell (click to show/hide)

I think when I applied for classes, I should've taken a Graphic Arts degree, instead of Graphic Design. Oh well, at least there are tutorials to learn some neat tricks I can apply. Personally, I want to be paid for having fun (art for art's sake, and for myself, more than others). Not making crap for other people.

I've been in Abu-Dhabi airport once (on my way to Singapore), it was a palace of luxury in the middle of the desert, with large expanses of desert everywhere around it as far as eye could see.

It's very flat, and the image is very large for what it contains. I'd suggest expanding the image as you work rather than starting with a massive canvas. Also, there seems to be a lot of dirt with nothing actually there, which is basically the same problem.


For Cinder, and everyone else thinking about giving up:

Quote
The ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups.
All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality.
His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the “quantity” group: 50 pounds of pots rated an “A”, 40 pounds a “B”, and so on.
Those being graded on “quality”, however, needed to produce only one pot — albeit a perfect one — to get an “A”.
Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity.
It seems that while the “quantity” group was busily churning out piles of work-and learning from their mistakes — the “quality” group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay.

 — Art and Fear - David Bayles and Ted Orland

Draw stuff! Even if you think it's crappy stuff.

Also, looking at some 'draw it again' artworks can be really inspiring. For instance, this is from an artist I follow on tumblr:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Three years isn't that long, but the difference is astounding. Don't give up, even if you think you're producing absolute shit (which, specifically aimed at Cinder, you aren't). I couldn't draw at all two years ago. I'm still not that good, but I'm a hell of a lot better than I used to be.

That hill looks hella awkward. If that's a dune, it should be way smoother and wider. If that's a pile of sand they dug up from that canyon, the side facing said canyon should be more steep, methinks.

The 'Draw it Again' challenge is always a nice challenge to do. I have noticed when I've done those a few times, I not as much re-drew the same thing, but rather considered the redraw attempts as a means and opportunity to upgrade (or update, like a time skip) and re-engineer some of my designs as I go about them. In some other cases, being able to do a 3D rebuild as well either via Blender or Minecraft (Voxel-by-voxel) also adds another dimension to working with them as well (helps especially since every voxel is a cubic-meter; I can measure accurately as I work).

Kinda reminds me, I still have a long way to go before I can really showcase my progress with the Excalibur Airship (being built in Minecraft). Fortunately, I remembered how user-friendly MCEdit is for stuff like that (also given that it's also not as much a resource-hog as the game itself when played; though not as fancy graphically; it works), so I'm reserving using Minecraft itself for more detail-oriented stuff, but for the main engineering stuff, I'm using MCEdit for the big stuff that would be a hassle. Another anti-hassle measure I love that I can do is working on half of the ship instead (keeping the rooms empty, of course) and upon finishing, copy-paste-mirror what I finish, and get the job done more quickly (half the time, and half the hassle). Kinda a reason I made the construction site at the Zero-point on the flatgrass world. User-friendly build coordinates for giant megaprojects like that.

Just realized something. Once I get some more 3D production skills down, with Blender at least (better modeling skills, and of course texturing/painting them), I can always use my Minecraft models as reference, and re-build those to a more ultra-refined format, instead of cubic-meter blocks, they can look much finer, where necessary. Kinda like doing a set design kind of thing; plus, I can also animate them to work how I see them work, which would otherwise be a pain to work with in another format like Minecraft (at least, to make turbines spin and such). Of course, to do such ultra-refinement, my skill doesn't only need to get better, but so does my hardware. So, for the time being, I'll have to make do with what i got for now.

EDIT:
Always an awesome personal goal to try to reach. Whenever I can invest in a 3D printer, gain enough skills to make my own model kits based on my artwork. I mean, a fully movable 3D printed model of one of my ships would rock to have sitting on my desktop. Especially something as badass as the flagship/airship I'm working on.

GO FOR IT MAN

3D printers are hella cool, i kind of wish i could do 3D models just so i could print dumb things and put them on peoples desks. :v
Also, re: "draw this again", i tried that a year ago (http://orig00.deviantart.net/bb3a/f/2015/163/7/9/before_and_after__generic_ugly_hd_face_by_shook12-d82qrmv.png). Worth noting is that the "after" thing isn't a "this is as good as it can possibly get" as it's a "this is how i would draw it today", whereas the former... Actually is pretty close to the best i could do back then.

also here have another inktober

I find that grid to be ugly and jarring. It would probably work better if you cut it down to 1 pixel per side (by only giving tiles a border on the right and bottom sides), and maybe having the border as a 50% opacity black over the tile underneath.

For tiles, I don't like how the gold striping on the walls look when placed adjacent horizontally. Also, you have the gold stripe only on one side for the end walls facing the viewer, and on both sides for the full walls.

The level design looks fine. I'd have probably broken the upper left room and a bit of the lower left room into tiny cubicle things, and it could use a few assorted objects to break up the 'large empty floors' aesthetic and for a bit of tactical difference. A statue here, a potted plant there ... Maybe something partially blocking one of the hallways.

As for emptiness, it's needed so people don't conga in one-wide lines (then again that would ramp up difficulty, hmm).

The torso is very heavily built compared to the arms and legs (particularly legs), or the legs are rather skinny. The head isn't too badly off, though.

Whoa, that's really tight for such a huge resolution! The way you managed your line-thickness is something I haven't seen in pixel art and I'm surprised you were able to AA all of that linework. The use of horizontal and vertical dithering is also pretty great. Reminds me of DS-era pixel art.

I see what they mean: Not bent in the way it should be, but slightly bent sideways, that is, upwards if you assume one of the sides points up.
Put another way: The handle seems to be at 30-45°, the tip is almost pointing upwards.

Those are a pretty good start GI, but there's one big flaw that I see in them right now. You seem to have copied the textures and the reflections without taking into consideration the surroundings. Which is the number one thing you consider when painting anything reflective. As it stands, you learned to paint wood in that particular situation but that is very limited and rare. What I reccommend you try is think about the material itself, how it acts in different lighting conditions and what reflections that would give. That way you can have the underlaying mechanics of reflective materials like polished wood in your grasp enabling you to place them in whatever lighting scenario you want and paint them realistically (this might come in handy in figuring out how you would do that (http://orig02.deviantart.net/77dd/f/2015/291/9/9/where_to_start_learning_realism__by_suzanne_helmigh-d9dkhx6.jpg))

Also Kot, it's a nondescript warbird of the Elfenreich (basically, WW1/2 germany, but what if they were actually elves), and most of what you named did serve as general inspiration for it :D

A fantasy setting I'm working on is based around the concept that Mankind went Nazi against other fantasy races, wiping some almost entirely and enslaving others. With machineguns and generally WWI-level tech. And magic.

Ran a roleplaying campaign in this setting, people seem to love that. Although it was an exploratory campaign where they don't actually interact with the states of various magical nations that much, but they found the whole idea likable.

No idea if it actually exists. I was just doing a random elf dude for inktober and decided to blow a few holes in him. Then my mind somehow jumped to the assasination of Franz Ferdinand and it kind of went from there. It has a lot of potential tho, I just have way too many other ideas that need work on to be able to work it out properly.

So I've basically been doing a crash course on pixel arting for last few weeks.  Working on a little game and didn't want to just straight up copy stuff so away I went!

Sample of what I've got so far:
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/42635636/walking.gif)
(Yes, it needs tweaking and I HATE the gun but that will be worked on later)

Basically trying to rush thru a full spritesheet of positions and actions right now.  I'm more or less using a ripped spritesheet as a reference (and trying not to just straight up copy stuff of course, but I said that).  Props to anyone who can guess the game.

Today I made a twitter bot (https://twitter.com/ddfacts) that dispenses facts about D&D monsters, classes & races. Some of the best facts were seen in testing and won't be seen on twitter:

 In Eberron, dinosaurs get the Pugilist feat.
 As of 4E, loxos are all lawful-evil.
 In Dragonlance, pacifist priests can use Mithral Skeleton.
 On the Dragon Coast, true dragons can use Arcane Cantata.
 In D&D Basic, blue dragons are considered to be tiny creatures.
 In the 4e D&D character builder, weresharks are proficient with heavy crossbows.
 In Mystara, fire giants usually come from the Elemental Plane of Fire.
 In Pathfinder, cheetahs can use Inner Depths of the Soul.
 In Blackmoor, fire elementals can be hired for 5gp/day.
 In D&D 5E, badgers speak Quori.
 

Hopefully, the bot's actual output will catch up with this genius.

You aren't entitled to feedback, you know.

Regardless, fine. Picture wars seems to have an unpleasant mash of conflicting styles that makes it unappealing as a whole, even if particular parts are good. As I assume it's a multiple person contribution sort of thing, without knowing which bits are yours, we can't really comment on that, either.

And Nirur Torir basically said anything I'd say about your image, as well, though I'll add it seems to have been poorly cropped for the larger image. But it's bland. It's very basic, with little to no variation in colours.

Depends. I didin't exactly wanted to get in a match here because, honestly, it's fucking shit. While I do not claim to be better, but people here just... there is barely any rules, not to mention complete lack the ones about style. While I do agree that Picture (what the fuck is with this name even, it was Pixel Wars since always, only the forums were named Picture Wars due to drama) Wars have a problem with conflicting styles, but once the people that reach at least medicority at it, it looks pretty good and doesn't hurt your eyes usually. And then, people here just... a lot of it isin't even Pixel Art. The fucking wizard dudes, the mech thing which is fucking horrendous. The only promising people would be the dude who made the Star Wars ISDs and maybe the fiery dude next to my Imperial Guard coming from the left. Also the Lemons dude because despite his army is ultra-simple, he seems to get the concept very damn well.
Also, IIRC, his are the space ships sitting in crater in middle.

Eh, I am just kinda angry right now because I know a lot of dudes back from the forum who are godly at both PW pixel art and regular one and you guys just made it pretty clear that Pixel Wars isisn't pixel art.

Well, you've done a poor job of communicating that if you have to explain it trough text. It's up to you as the artist to convey as much of the narrative as possible trough your piece (unless you're being intentionally obtuse, but that's a whole different ball game tbh), if you have to resort to giving explanations as to why something is like that it means you need to step back and rethink the piece and what it's showing, compared to what you want it to show, then figure out how to bring it closer to your intended idea.

Now, all the pixel art stuff is beyond me so I can't comment on that but what Nirur said is mostly spot on so do what he advised, he knows his shit.

What am I looking at, here? Some kind of aircraft? It needs shading, if nothing else, and to be properly-lit. One thing you need to realize is that pixel art doesn't let you get away from the normal rules of art - in fact, the difficult fiddly stuff becomes even more important because you need to imply a lot of it without having the resolution to actually put it in.

Read this. (http://pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299)
Here's a bunch of tutorial sorts of things. (http://pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5692)
Here's a good explanation of color use. (http://pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10695&PID=135398#135398)

It's true that you absolutely must practice and keep doing things in order to improve, but that's not all that's necessary. It's also important to change what you do and how. You've got ideas you want to put into art, but you don't have the technical knowledge to deal with the contextual things like lighting, texturing, and scene composition that make for good art, and those are critical to master. So work on them.

Well, yeah, I did base them off heavily off the TF2 fabricators (and by heavily I mean it was my only real reference pic cause I couldn't find anything else off the top of my head)...Pretty sure I'll get a more original design soon-ish, but for the purpose of that concept art it works well enough. :V

Pretty good. I don't have any major complaints about it, so have some minor nitpicks.
A quick cheat for showing depth is to have more shading on the rearmost areas. This has slightly heavier shading on the front-most petals, which is a bit confusing on the eyes.
The tilt on the blush doesn't quite match the rest of the face.
I think Flowey has leaves, but I can't be bothered to look it up.
I feel uncertain about a friendly Flowey having cute little fangs. Either way, they seem to be pointed slightly more towards the camera than the rest of the face is.

I see it too; like the end of the barrel is heavy enough, or the barrel itself is heavy enough that it can't maintain structural integrity; seems at that scale it's plausible. Which would mean the those bullets have to be durable enough to knock it back into shape or not be thrown too far off by the bent barrel.

The cannon looks bendy because I drew it slightly wrong the first time around, I tried to fix it up but apparently it didn't work out too well. If I ever do a digital pass over it I'll fix it up properly.

And while the thing may look unbalanced, as Cinder pointed out, there's counterweights and the engine housing at the rear of the mech. Also sillier and more unbalanced looking things have existed. Like say, the Kondensator:

The legs need work. Maybe some articulation and that sort of thing; as it is they look a little Gumbyish. Is the yellow bit on the upper right the Sun? If so, do your lighting under that assumption. Bits to the right should have highlights, bits to the left should have shadows. Are the two purple bits along the barrel some kind of exhaust?

The helmet looks a bit off centre with the gasmask, especially the aquila.

How is the gun slung over his shoulder? There's a red strap that looks like it should be visibly over his shoulder, but it isn't.

The gun barrel looks slightly bent upwards towards the muzzle.

Yeah, I noticed all of those. The Aquilla I added in later, the gun strap was also added later because guns just don't float in air and I forgot to throw one under the leather straps, and the barrel looks bent because it's proably bent because I do it by mouse in paint, soooo...

Nice idea for a forum game, and a pretty nice looking notebook, too-  only recommendation I'd have if you were to make another one in future would be to make the text smaller and more crammed in, so it looks like the person writing was making maximum use of the paper provided- it would also help make the text spacing look less artificial.  Paper/vellum is usually worth its weight in gold in a medieval(-esque) setting, anyway, and a notebook would be pretty restricted in size by its nature...

There aren't enough games and things about alchemy/chemistry and plantlore.  Scraping together and intelligently combining things to kill your enemies with from the environment is a lot more interesting in terms of mechanics than the game/author just handing you a default, always works Killstabber no. 3001.

Took a crap-ton to motivate myself to do some art again; especially since I've had quite a lull of work, and a lack of funds to upkeep my morale. But besides my work issues (regarding sending applications out and communication-minded ("MUST KEEP CONTACT WITHIN 24 HOURS") clients being unresponsive as ever in a rather ironic twist (2 months waiting on a job with a deadline in less than a week, and still no word from them, for any of us dozens who applied to said job (at least 40-odd applicants, no interviews, no hires, for any of us dozens. I mean, what the hell?))), I've finally managed to get off my ass, and hire myself to do some engineering work on my ship for an hour or two.

My progress so far:
-Chassis is about 25% done
-Decided to build progressively, adding as I go, instead of sequentially (chassis, then piping/wiring, then equipment and hull portions, etc.).
   =Along with chassis frame, I'm also applying the skin of the ship as I move on to better guide my progress.
-Barrel for the beam cannon/railgun/coil-gun (whichever) is made.
   =Dao-Cannon, main unit, still needs to be built (fires both holy and unholy energy; as well as firing in Yin-Yang fashion yielding a nuclear effect on targets, eviscerating angels and demons alike as well).
   =Makes use of the beam cannon/railgun/coil-gun barrel, and dimensional prisms for the secondary fire.
   =Dao-Cannon's Secondary firing measure (homing energy projectiles/beams) still needs to be established and hooked up as well.
-Primary (Lower) Bridge is more or less setup (needs much more work, but at least I got the pilot's seat installed)
   =Upper and lower accessways have been established. Now needs hallways installed, and associated rooms and Captain's Quarters.
-Fore Tuning-Fork chassis frame is in the works.
-4D-μ (4-Dimensional Manipulator Unit; to re-direct fire, or fuck with physics, or jump planets without traveling through space) has yet to be constructed, dimensionally split, and then mounted onto the ship (just to fuck with engineers, especially when reverse-engineering the technology, or to figure out how a split wheel still spins completely).

We've got a hell of a distance to go on this megaproject, but I at least made some progress. I've been regarding my old 3d model for reference, especially for scaling things properly, relative to one another (like resizing the gun barrel, and ensuring the dimensions of the bridge were right).

Spoiler: And now, the pictures. They should be somewhat self-explanatory: (click to show/hide)

EDIT:
Unlike many other ships I've seen built in Minecraft, this sucker's not going to be hollow. I'm putting in as much effort in this as I did with Bloodfist; engineering it to be as convincingly built as possible (pulling as much BS-engineering as I can get away with, using command blocks and the like as possible). Minus the 300+ casualties. Sure, I could build this in Space Engineers instead, and have something we can actually fly (let's say the 4D-μ generates the atmosphere (siphoning other sources, while generating a Klein-containment field (Basically, the ship uses a Klein bottle to keep itself in good form atmospherically; especially in rather hostile environments, ranging from toxic environments to the vacuum of space or de/re-synching within solid matter (like hiding literally under ground, yet not within a cave system. I mean it; IN the ground, sharing the same space as solid matter, sans displacement.)) and gravity manipulation (this is an airship, after all, not a spaceship; although there has been a recent 'Planets Update')), but I don't feel like learning a whole new game's system, plus, my computer's not exactly up-to-date for that kind of game, even on basic/crap settings. I'm sticking with what I know.

EDIT EDIT:
Some story based on the ship: Kudos to the Excalibur's 4D-μ, extra-dimensional beings had to hit the crew of the ship with some new combat laws, exclusive to anyone that has a lucid/conscious understanding of extra-dimensional physics (forget the math and science, and use your imagination), and application, or shall I be more precise and say blatant abuse, of them. And for the Mark-II's (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=98415.msg6052950#msg6052950) (AKA-Quis ut Deus; named after St. Michael's sword) 7D-μ, which is a whole 'nother can of worms there; involving elder gods of all kinds of religions and the like having some issues with the crew and regulate even stricter rules involving Infinite (Im)Probability and (Un)Reality Manipulations and Chronos--Kairos Temporality Manipulations, and abusing those laws for recreational purposes (forget abusing infinite probability for wars and the like; have a bunch of highly imaginative and rather child-like/childish peaceful screwballs like myself and the crew of the Excalibur (Mk. II) at the helm of something that ultimately powerful, and we can give anything/everything/nothing a massive headache. I can't help but to play the Freakazoid (https://youtu.be/ed-hUoeHcz0) theme whenever I think of this. And I guess, regarding an AI controlling such a device: Something, something, next thing the crew knows, their personal-AI/crew member becomes a literal Deus Ex Machina 'Virtual God(dess)' (and (part of) the ship itself), and the pantheon of gods (and flying spaghetti monsters) now have a new pain-in-the-ass/smartass joining their ranks. Remember kids, be careful when you uplink your AIs to extra-dimensional (magical) machines. And for the story, at least the crew didn't have to worry about the AI going SHODAN/Skynet on them; I mean, what's the point when you can navigate infinite probability/reality?

Post by: Bauglir on November 27, 2015, 12:57:47 pm
Couple of things I can think of.

Composition is a huge one. With the city, you probably want more buildings, and they should overlap so you can only see part of one at any given time. You also need to pick a lighting direction, and I think you'd do well to incorporate perspective. As it stands, it looks like the viewer is looking at every object in profile, but this is impossible without some very crafty lens shenanigans. We've gotta have corners in places, and they should show that objects have depth (for example, in that 3D car thing, parallel lines on the vehicle shouldn't appear parallel to the viewer).

The astronaut should be scaled up. I get that it's some kind of landscape, but I can't see much more. I don't know if you need any more detail, but you should at least double its dimensions (so that each current pixel is a 2x2 block of identical pixels).

More generally, it looks to me like you're building a scene in your head and then you're trying to put that concept into art directly. This is a really common problem! You need to draw what a person viewing that scene would see, not a symbolic representation of it. That's why things like perspective, lighting, and texture are important.

@KillerHP: The landscape is pretty cool, but i'd really like it if the resolution was high enough for me to make out uh... Anything, to be brutally honest. Making good low-resolution sprites is actually quite hard, so sticking to slightly bigger ones is a good idea to begin with, even if it takes longer time. Your 3D sprites are at a good size; small enough to not take a thousand years to make, but big enough that you can see what's going on, and more importantly, big enough that you can't rely entirely on peoples minds filling in the blanks. ;) (you could probably get away with a bit smaller than that, though)
Also, if it's a star up in the corner, then it should probably be round, just saiyan'. I'd offer more advice, but alas, my hands are still hurting. :<

at a glance:

- the sword is slightly at an off-angle, it doesn't quite match up with the apparent direction of the hilt.

- the arms aren't equal. Neither is too short nor too long mind you, it simply seems they are of differing lengths.

- the plume bends in a way that makes it seem fleshy.

- since the knight's body is so square to us, his helmet is a little misleading at first glance. It took me a while to grasp that I was seeing the helmet & the visor turned to the left.

I really don't understand what's wrong with the perspective, I though it was quite clear that the guy is facing slightly left. Of course, since you're not the first person to complain about the helmet, you're probably right though. Maybe it had to do with the fact that I drew the helmet first, and began focusing on the rest of the body afterwards?

Neat mech, but I can't quite tell what it is. I'd say it's professionally cobbled together from unused pieces of other Imperial vehicles, for use by the Empire, which doesn't quite fit my limited knowledge of Imperial policy. (Although the shoulder/hip joint gears don't seem to match.)
No footprints or snow build-up on the mech, my only real complaint.
On first glance, my brain IDs it as flawed CGI. I think it's something to do with the sharp contrasts on the vehicle against the stylized background.
I keep getting that "the shield is flipped" optical illusion. After staring at it for a while, the joints don't look like it could easily hold the shield in front of itself.
I don't like that the human-for-scale is just standing there idle, specifically for scale.

Nice job overall, though. How long did it take?

Post by: Jopax on November 30, 2015, 06:43:48 pm
I think it was about 4-5 hours, can't quite remember, most of it done today.

As to what it is, it's some sort of TIE Fighter/AT/ST mashup mecha. And all your criticism is valid, the background was done quickly just so it has a background, didn't have much time to do a proper study of Hoth which this is kinda modelled after. Did consider making the mech painterly itself but that was too much of a pain in the ass and took way too long so I scrapped it. The shield does kinda pivot on the handle so it can be held in front of the mech, I think the actual position is actually accurate if I remember that one video that explained it properly. As far as the little dude goes, there were supposed to be more and some more activity in the base but as before, didn't have the time to fully realise it.

Tho that's what I get for starting it two days before the deadline instead of the week of free time I had :V

I need feedback on drawings 'n stuff, which is, I admit, a very vague request. More specifically, I'd like to try taking commissions someday, and I can't accurately assess whether I'm actually good enough yet, but  'good enough' doesn't really mean anything because it's all relative and different people expect different things and it's hard to compare styles and a whole host of other issues. I guess I have a hard time viewing things I create as being actually worth money, too, which kinda inhibits my ability to look at something I drew and say 'yes, that is worth so many moneys'.

Any feedback on whether or not it'd be a bad idea to start putting myself out there and offering to take commissions would be very much appreciated, whichever direction the feedback goes.

Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Shook on December 04, 2015, 07:10:04 pm
Short answer: yep

Long answer: I've seen people less practiced than yourself doing commissions, so yeah. Hell, i've taken commissions over a year ago, and back then i was even worse than i am now. :v
Basically, don't worry too much about "too early", because the worst case scenario would be that you don't get any customers, and in that case, nothing really changes. If you DO get customers, then it clearly wasn't too early and all is well.

The real tricky part, however, is figuring out prices, which i have legitimately seen spanning from $5 to $100 (sometimes even more). I'd recommend starting in the lower half of the spectrum, but no need to offer a huge 12 hour painting for a dime, since that'd be underpaying yourself massively. I know it's damn near impossible to objectively evaluate the value of ones own artings, so what i do is go by an estimate of how long it takes to make it. That way, it's less "this art is worth 12.86gp" and more "that is 1.5 hours at 10gp/hour" which is much easier to handle objectively. And by that, i mean it goes from "nearly impossible" to "hard". :U

You could always do auctions.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Nirur Torir on December 04, 2015, 07:48:51 pm
From my understanding: Charge whatever hourly rate (average estimate, with a clear "It costs $X to commission this") it takes to not burn yourself out drawing for rude customers with bad character designs. Never draw commissions for below minimum wage except for as temporary emergency funding.

Your art quality is plenty good for commissions, the real question is whether or not you draw fast enough for a decent hourly rate to sell. If not, you may want to either hold off until it is, or charge less and pick-and-choose only commissions that you'd want to draw anyway.

I've heard it as: You're good enough to offer commissions when someone offers to pay for a commission. You won't really know until you try.

I have no idea about pricing, though. I'm still basically stabbing at paper like a caveman so it's not something I've looked into.

I figured I'd start with a fairly low price estimate and gradually adjust it towards an averaged hourly rate as I get a better feel for how long things take to draw (assuming I can find work in the first place).

Thanks for the input, all of you. I'm gonna take a shot at putting myself out there and hopefully something will come of it.

Agreed on what Shook said, it's not so much pricing according to quality but according to how much time and effort it takes you to do it. Because there's always someone who's willing to buy what you're selling, especially if you fill a certain niche that isn't that common. You just gotta get out there and advertise yourself enough to actually find the folks willing to buy your stuff. It's not easy but it's doable.

And related, what exactly do you have in mind when it comes to commissions, is there something in particular you want to do? Or is just whatever goes an option? Because for the most part, what your portfolio shows is what people will be expecting of you. So if you don't feel like doing environments don't put them in your portfolio or people will expect you to do environments. Likewise, if there's something you really want to be doing, then fill your portfolio with as many of those pieces as you can. Also practice and study and learn to get better at what you want to do, and dabble in other stuff just in case.

Also, do you plan to have this as your regular income? Or just a bit of extra money on the side? That should also greatly affect how much time you should dedicate to doing this and what prices you should be charging.

Also, do you plan to have this as your regular income? Or just a bit of extra money on the side? That should also greatly affect how much time you should dedicate to doing this and what prices you should be charging.

As much as I would like to subsist entirely off of commissions, I can't see it being a full-time job in the near future. If it takes off, I'd pursue it, but right now I don't have very high expectations, so it seems like I can get away with relatively low prices for now.

Hah, cute lil' bugger. ALMOST nailed the lighting this time, it's just the two antennae casting odd shadows if one goes by the light on the bottom... Thing. If the light is directly towards the face of Steve-e, the shadow on the BOTTOMTHING(tm) should be smaller, or, conversely, if the light is as the BOTTOMTHING(tm) indicates (which seems like the better option if my opinion was to be asked), then the shadows of the antennae should be further to the left.

It actually depends on the brushes and which CS version they were made with. Older ones should work with newer versions while the opposite isn't always neccessarily true.

I mentioned that the brushes will most likely work with Tiruin's version of Photoshop because TamplierPainter (the guy who made the brush pack I linked) uses the same version. I use CC, which is why I said that the picture was painted in Photoshop CC.

Alas, the best way to get better at dealing with anxiety is to facetank it (flexing beforehand may/may not be helpful), but thankfully, tiny little steps forward still count. Therefore, tap dancing might be the easiest form of locomotion in the storm of anxiety?? Also fun fact: The reason that i stick with black and white doodles so much is one part laziness and one part fear of screwing up if i go any further with it. You've seen my painty things, they are NOT proportionate with my line drawings. :v (or maybe they are, i frankly have no idea where on the spectrum i lie)

aw shoot heck thanks bro <3

Good point though, i guess there is a middle ground between colourless line art and full on paintings. I've done it a scant few times before (http://orig00.deviantart.net/d94b/f/2015/045/b/c/cloudyface_by_shook12-d8i1glh.png), but it almost feels like cheating because of how easy it is when the lines are properly closed.

The only problem with it is that i'll have to actually close my lines properly if i am to apply colours easily. Poor fluffdog (http://orig04.deviantart.net/ea05/f/2015/336/a/a/fluffdog_eye_experiment_by_shook12-d9irwfi.png), almost none of its features have a continuous outline. :v

Honestly speaking, when it comes to Pixel Art, everyone has been there. I'm still crying when I see my pixel wars (http://i.imgur.com/flLUNGk.png) stuff. Not that I am good now, but eh.
Also, yes, I am too guilty of stealing others art early on, even if it was free to use and with permission. I'm shamed of that. ;-;

Also note regarding Coff-e: The upper rim of the cup doesn't appear to be circular, since the part closest to the viewer is too pointed. Allow me to be a cheapskate and illustrate via Krita's perspective tool:

Even with fairly significant perspective distortion, it still just looks like a tilted ellipse. While it is indeed SLIGHLY more curved towards the camera, it's overdone on Coff-e, and really, you can get away with omitting it entirely at that resolution. :v

just gonna chime in here and say that this is REALLY REALLY GOOD

You've done an admirable job with keeping the various parts distinguishable, which can otherwise be a huge pain in the arse when going lineless. The ONLY part where it blends a bit together is on his right (our left) uh... Hand? But anyways, one of the feathers blends in with the waistcloth. That's pretty much the only nitpick i can find.

also last night i was like "ok imma doodle a thing" and then suddenly an hour had passed and it was 4AM so i called it quits at this point

I am... Actually not really happy with the line drawing here (especially the head), probably partly because i got caught up in cleaning up the sketch instead of doing my usual "draw it over again" deal. So, where is SWORDSNAEK's sword, you may wonder? HAMMERSPACE. Either that, or i didn't get around to drawing it yet. But yeah, these are more or less his "official" colours, not that i'm terribly worried about him being drawn with a slightly different shade of muddy green. :v

There are definitely a couple rough patches. You're right about the stabilizer, yeah. I didn't catch it during the sketch, so it ended up making it to the end product.

Tumblr seems to love WoW, judging from the number of notes the airship has gotten so far, so I'm going to blatantly cash in on the fandom and draw more fanart.

If anything first I'm going to get a Chimera (which I still have to make, I have only the old, smaller version) around. Also Hades Breaching Drill because that hotel basement is perfect entry point for more meatshields. Though I might bring Guardsmen with actual personalities. Armageddon Steel Legion could make tank charges, Vostroyan Firstborn do the same on horses around (because cossacks (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILsb_hospwY)).

Well, the shape's actually decent, but it's kind of hard to figure out which way it's facing. The addition of thruster flames could remedy that particular issue. The shading, however, is... Lacklustre. Even considering individual differences (i.e. Kot's smooth and subtle shading versus my own almost painfully contrasting light and shadows (http://puu.sh/lZALK.png)), you really need more contrast between the shades of the same colour. Also, you somehow managed to shift one wing vertically by one pixel, which seems a bit odd on an otherwise symmetric design. :v
If you want, i could give you my own interpretation of how it COULD be done (which is to say that there are a gorillion ways to go about this), but if you'd rather not, that's also perfectly fine.

I think it looks good, but not as good as the other spaceship on the ground you made before, but then again, I'm no expert. So I can't give an in depth analysis. But, yeah, in my opinion, you're doing well :D

P.S: As I was typing this, Shook pointed out the shift in one pixel of the right wing, and now I can't take my eyes off of it. Yeah, other than that, and the lighting, it looks pretty good.

Go to the mouse config (should be able to just search for 'mouse') and it'll come up with something like 'change how the mouse looks' or something like that. Then you click on the specific thing and set the .cur for that specific action*, then save the profile/apply/whatever to make sure it keeps.

*theres actually a ton of cursor thingies for different things.  Obviously, we need a full Shook set.

While I've been drawing a LOT of stuff lately, I don't really feel all too comfortable sharing it (just because I don't want to disappoint people again with another cool project that I end up ditching), but I feel like this one is worth sharing just because, well, it originated here.

If you remember this gal, you're awesome. If not, well, good luck figuring out who this is. ;>
No wings or shading because by the time I did the lineart and colors I got lazy af. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B33juTZN4DTPTXB6bEplc093Tlk/view?usp=sharing)


Also, for people who draw with both a tablet and on paper (or just on a tablet really), have a cool tip I re-learned about recently which has been doing me much good recently:

Place a sheet (or two) of paper over your tablet when you draw. It will give you a much better feel for it and make it closer to traditional drawing AND greatly reduce the damage to your tablet's sensors, extending its lifetime by a non-insignificant amount of time.

Hah, that's cool. Alas, it seems that i didn't nail the resolution correctly; should probably have made it 32x32 if the resizing is to be believed. Fortunately, a quick googling reveals this thing to me (http://www.cursor.cc), and therefore can we have snekcursor that doesn't get resized (https://www.dropbox.com/s/yhw936lpxsjryva/snekcursorlol.cur?dl=0)!!

I am not at all sure if swordsnaek himself should have an outline or not, because on one hand, he sometimes blends into the background, but on the other, swordsnaek's just there for flavour, and a violent black outline might make him stand out too much. Oh well. :U

Well, cursor.cc is nice, but you know, you can actually have cursors up to 256x256... if you know the format (and want giant cursors).  I could see a giant, animated monstrosity cursor thats not really useful at all... and it would be glorious.

Edit: hrmm, maybe not.  Trying a few things first... maybe I can figure it out.  I know you can have 256x256 icons anyway.

Edit2: oooh, I see some voodoo that might work.  Would need to write a program to go around the windows cursor setting... or download CursorFX for 10 bucks, but it could be done.

You're right, her legs are a little shorter than they should be. I'm still working on proportions, but it's better than previous drawings had been.

Cute. I thought it was a girl at first.

I don't think I can really criticize since you say this is a redraw and I haven't seen the original. And that coloring is probably better shit than I can do. And the lines are so clean. Shit I haven't drawn in a while.

I guess I could say "learn proportions" or "his neck is too thin" or "he's a skeleton" or "his hands are blobs behind his back" but considering this is a cartoony sorta style that kinda nitpicky criticism flies out the window. And proportions seem fine, so long as you intended the character to look thin and tall and lanky. You mention on the dA page that you can't draw hands. So for criticism I guess I can confidently say "learn to do hands".

It's also hard to tell how tall he's supposed to be since its only a 3/4 character portrait with no background items or anything to set a scale. Proportions are the only way, currently, and proportions seem lanky and tall. Especially the long / thin neck.

Also i am glad to see you posting artings Cinder! Allow me to be a dick and offer approximately one point of criticism: One, he seems slightly wall eyed (or rather, the pupils are dead center in the eyes ala thousand yard stare), which can be fixed by shunting the pupils a bit closer to each other. You can get away with some exaggeration, but if it's TOO much, he'll be looking at his stylistically missing nose. :P
There are some minor flops with the shadows, but honestly, the more i look at it, the more i see that it's just because the light is shining him in the face from a fairly shallow angle. I usually put my light source off to one side, so maybe that's why i initially thought it looked off. HOW SILLY OF ME.

greatly reduce the damage to your tablet's sensors, extending its lifetime by a non-insignificant amount of time.

I... don't think that quite works like that. The pressure sensors for most tablets (all the ones that I'm familiar with) are in the stylus. In order to have any given stroke thickness, you would need to have a static amount of pressure on a constant surface area (the tip of the pen). It doesn't matter what material you're pressing against; it still needs to exert the same amount of force on the pen as any other material if you want to get the same result. As long as you're not constantly scraping the upper pressure limit of that the stylus was designed for, you should be fine, though.

If tablet longevity is a serious concern, I would recommend upping the sensitivity in your drawing program so that you don't have to press as hard against your tablet.

It looks good. I'm kinda terrible at cartoon styles, so I doubt I can really give any advice on your drawing specifically, but the proportions and coloring look good for the style it's drawn in. I agree that learning how to draw hands is always a good idea, though.



I finally finished this thing.

Tried to draw two versions of the same character but with several years age difference between them. (http://i.imgur.com/0L6vAfq.jpg) I forgot to keep the limb proportions in mind, but aside from that, did it work out?

Something seems off to me about the face, but I'm not sure if its just I stretched it too much for the older version, or if its just the way the hair framed the face playing tricks on me. Unsure what degree of face structure changeyness is feasible at the points portrayed.

For example, right click the message icon on the post reply page, and click copy image location, like so:

(Also, please re-size your avatars. Your blue-ish dragon takes 6.5mb. That's a lot for someone with a data cap to use on an 80x80 avatar. And yes, it loads the entire thing, and then shinks it.)
Also for tips--there's GIMP, or paint.net to do so .-. Please resize and use a different image hosting site for those who have trouble loading HUGE pics. T_T

That said, the image url is basically like how you got your avatar--you copy the url at the top, then paste it here:
So for example I get the 'spoiler' button from the reply bar: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/Themes/darkling/images/bbc/spoiler.gif)
I copy it and paste it here
Code: [Select]
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/Themes/darkling/images/bbc/spoiler.gifThen put the image tags "{img}" (Which look like (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/Themes/darkling/images/bbc/img.gif) on the Reply bar)
Code: [Select]
[img]http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/Themes/darkling/images/bbc/spoiler.gif[/img]Then you get the above :D

Only host images on a hosting service if you don't have the image on the web already.
I would actually say otherwise. Unless it's already on the web at a hosting service or a website you own, anyway. Prevents leeching bandwidth and ensures that you can keep access to the image if the third party source goes down or changes it.

Yes, yes, I know it sucks, especially the clouds, shadows, and cracks in the ice. As well as the water. It's my first one. It also may look better or worse when you see the original.

And it turns out I can't find it, which sucks, because the guy who made it certainly deserves any credit at all.

Mine is much much much worse (of course), but I hope having the original makes it clearer.

Well, last snow was in November, and it has pretty much been raining every other day on average (if not more), so everything is muddy/soggy to the point where our backyard is starting to feel like a bog. I guess the darkness is partly because i've been getting out of bed at 13:00 (or later) most of the days, but the near-constant overcast weather sure doesn't help. You know it's pretty gloomy outside when a cave dweller like myself starts missing the sun. Thankfully, christmas is held indoors, with lots of delicious artificial light. :v

Vector graphics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphics). Essentially polygons/curves/lines to represent an image instead of pixels. They're nice because they can be rescaled to any size without the huge pixels/blurring you get with pixel stuff.

Also, vectors in math aren't too bad, provided you don't hate trig too much.

That looks pretty neat. The shading on the background planet doesn't make much sense, I think. It's well in front of the sun, but it sort of looks like it's behind the sun.

I...think it should be behind the sun. :P But maybe it's the outline that makes it seem off, Hugo? :O
That, and the usual way the lighting goes--is that the nearest part to the edge is NOT the brightest lit part (else it would seem flat, like a pyramid--the tip or 'edge' is the one being lit, but when discussing a spherical or oval-esque object, the shading usually follows that the brightest part isn't at the tip...usually. Depending on the facing [if it's a 90 degree angle to the viewer, THEN do that :3 But it's a bit more complex if it's a spheroid object being illuminated])
(I'm still amazed at how you all do art >_<)

If it's behind the sun it's got to be further away, so it'd just be a dot rather than a big planet dominating the skyline.

Keep using it until your fingers are numb and your butt is sore. You don't even have to draw anything; just get used to moving the pen on the tablet. I still don't know most of what I should know :p Just keep experimenting. Make straight lines and curvy lines, draw squares and circles, and practice writing with it.

personally I would add minor variations in the grass(?) as well, and perhaps the cliffs, because to me it looks a tiny bit odd that the sky and other planet have colour variation when the rest of it doesn't.

Contrast is good. Background is simple, but that's not a problem, as the starkness of the middle is better at drawing attention for it.

Hi fellow person living in 4AM timezone.
I am also drawing (if you can call this drawing, it's more like popping pixels around until they start to vaguely resemble something that's not bunch of pixels), even if it's much less amazing.

It doesn't. At the peak of my wakefulness I'm busy doing stuff that is way more interesting at that moment, so I usually only manage to free myself of distractions at night. Also, aren't humans most creative at night?
And regarding insane level of detail - I have no fucking idea where I got it, most of people that do units for PW are totally okay with making it less detail as long as it looks good, and then there I am, making sure that the number of bolts on the side of the tank is exactly the same as on the actual one (and raging because you simply can't fit two pixels into one), making calculations about scale and whatnot because MUH DETAIL, though recently I noticed that I'm strolling further away from being accurate because, well, the source material for the Wh40k space ships, ESPECIALLY Space Marine ones, is lacking.

well the idea was to make it with vector graphics, maybe would have to think of the design first  before doing it on the fly. maybe add some borders to the elements.

I've already mentioned, but these high quality pics could be masterful mtg card illustrations.

Corpse Possession 2BB
Enchantment - Aura (Rare)
When you cast Corpse Possession, return target creature from your graveyard to the battlefield under your control and attach Corpse Possession to it. Enchanted creature is a zombie in addition to its other types. When Corpse Possesion is removed from enchanted creature or destroyed, exile enchanted creature.
Cumulative upkeep: put a -1/-1 counter on enchanted creature.
Sacrifice Corpse Possession: if there are 4 or more -1/-1 counters on enchanted creature, put a 5/5 black demon token with flying onto the battlefield.

Edit: actually, that card doesn't do your picture justice.

Papyrus:

Full black thermal underwear*, red underwear over black thermal underwear, boots with high bootleg (not black), skull mask, red mitts, red scarf, white T-shirt.

I kinda want to make the masks, though, to get the look right. Commercial skeleton masks are supposed to look scary, but then again they're also quality. So, I want masks that look like the character's faces, but also look good.

Football armor would probably work for Papyrus.

Sorry if I came off condescending. If you want to improve your drawings, keep doing what you're doing: drawing. Don't just draw more, draw better; as in, try that picture again, but look for mistakes you think you've made and mistakes others have pointed out, then compare the new one to the old one.

Post by: Trapezohedron on January 03, 2016, 05:13:24 am
The trick to making things fit together is to draw a naked skeleton prior to dressing them up.

Drawing circles and lines around where they should be facing is also important. Try getting their proper proportions (a smaller head by barely a half-inch is noticeable and is weird), then drawing perspective, basing on where they might be facing, where the light source is primarily shining, then start drafting around that form. Do not be afraid to tweak, erase and alter portions of your drawing.

Don't let drawing better stop you drawing more, though. Perfect is the enemy of better. Even if they all look like excrement, you'll eventually pick out why they do and be able to fix it.

Sometimes, anyway. I've never been able to hack it. Experiment with different ways of sketching out the basis, and pick the one you like the most.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Cheesecake on January 03, 2016, 06:15:08 am
The skeleton I use for drawing is a simplified version of a real skeleton: an oval with skull-features, a rib cage-shape, a pelvis-shape, and the knees and elbows. Try drawing a skeleton from a picture or anatomy book, the quality of the drawing is immaterial, because it's about learning the proportion of the human body.

And as Arx said, don't let perfectionism get in the way of improvement.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: xaritscin on January 03, 2016, 11:26:41 am
i draw skeletons before putting the features. but they are not on proportion most of the time, its just a crude guide for knowing where to tart making the body overline.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Jopax on January 03, 2016, 03:49:18 pm
But the intial sketch should be in proportion, otherwise the stuff you base on it will be out of proportion too. Best to get it right when there's no detail and stuff to worry about, rather than realise that it's wonky five hours into a piece :V

Cute little bugger! You nailed the lines, colours and shading quite well, and the only thing that gets me is that the pose is a bit stiff. I wouldn't say i'm qualified to give advice on avoiding stiffness yet, but that besides, adding a little sway/curve to the spine often helps.

I've codenamed the whole thing "junkwerm", so it's basically a giant robotic drill worm (yes they're drills) with a hateful red eye of doom that wants you off of its garden. The eye being a laser eye is actually a very good idea, now that you mention it. :v
You'd be totally forgiven for not figuring that out, because it's a fairly messy sketch. Mostly i just posted it so i have less incentive to just leave it as it is, because otherwise it definitely wouldn't be the first unposted thing that i never finished.

also darn street fighter 3 is pretty cool tho

I think it's the positioning of how far the teeth are, relative to the positions of the skull//skin. :O That, or the perspective gives a really nice illusion of proximity to the front since we're seeing this at a 90 degree angle :P

How do you draw hands? Mech/suit hands, to be precise. Diagram plix! Thank you!

When drawing hands you can start with a 3D trapezoid for the palm, use elongated 3D rectangles for the fingers, then round out the edges to make them more natural. Here (http://fungii.tumblr.com/post/28438807687/the-book-does-have-a-basic-breakdown-of-the-hands) are some diagrams showing that particular technique.

For mech/suit hands, I would exclude the final step and stick to the sharp shapes you used as a guide. If you're having a hard time finding references for specific hand poses, don't be afraid to look at your own hands! Keep a phone camera at the ready, take a picture of your own hand, then use that as a reference.

Search Sycra on YouTube. He has around four videos dedicated to hands, plus a wealth of other digital and traditional drawing tutorials. One of his hand videos is about dynamic hands, so once you've gotten how to draw hands, watch that too.

I guess my own primary tip for not stagnating completely is to acknowledge the mistakes you make and try to avoid them next time (and/or do a little bit better than last time), but at the same time, don't get too hung up on them. I don't know what the general consensus is regarding "fix mistake in old doodle" versus "make new doodle while attempting to avoid old mistake", but i certainly prefer the latter. After all, we learn from our mistakes, and making more doodles means more mistakes in a shorter time, and thus, faster learning. :v
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Amperzand on January 06, 2016, 01:13:40 pm
Not really. His point as I saw it was that you learn by making mistakes, and don't make new mistakes to learn from while fixing previous mistakes. I think other things are applicable if you really just need to practice drawing, but if you're already reasonably comfortable with it, then yeah.

I agree with Shook there. When I'm done with a drawing I leave it at that. If I see a mistake I'll make another and try to avoid that mistake, then compare the new with the old.

On an unrelated note, how do you guys feel about hosting drawing prompts and competitions here? Like in the Writer's Apprenticeship thread.

Why not, I haven't drawn for a couple days (or maybe even weeks) so it would be nice to have a half-decent excuse to do it again.
Also I wouldn't mind having a drawing succession game again (ie. have a bunch of people in a queue, settle on a theme, start drawing, pass the result* to the next person until we get to the last person and feast our eyes upon the amalgamation of artstyles and skill levels)

* - for the sake of preserving layers and some degree of image complexity I would prefer if people used something like the Photoshop doc format (.psd) because it seems to be the only format out there that supports layers with some degree of inter-compatibility (as far as I'm aware it's supported by (duh) PS, SAI, GIMP, Krita and even Paint.NET though you do need a plugin.).

Note to self: Improve on drawing eyes, paws, long lines, circles, sketches, paws, circles, tails, noses, paws, fur effect, and the whole thing. Also really improve on paws and circles. (You're not seeing any circles right now but sketching this thing was at least half of the time spent into this, getting an egg-shaped oval is HARD when you're not used to taking it slowly!)

What do you think of it? For comparison, this one right here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=155352) was the first drawing, the one you're looking at now is my second drawing.

They're hardly even comparable due to the vast difference in stylization, but with that said, i like this one a lot more. It is... Well, cute. :v
Disregarding obvious stylistic choices, there is still one thing i must mention: The ears. As seen on Wikipedia once more (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_fox#/media/File:Fox_study_6.jpg), fox ears seem to be protuding from the head in a mostly triangular manner, and have a scoop-like shape to funnel ALL THE SOUNDS into the head of the creature. While they're usually also fairly big on real foxes, relative size can vary a lot with cartoony deformation, so that's not terribly important.

Ooo, i like it/them! The only glaring issue i can spot is that the upper part of the horses hind leg is waaaaaaaay too thin, since horses tend to have rather buff backsides. Smaller nitpicks include: Infantrybro seems stiff (some lenience granted because obviously standing at attention), legs seem a bit too straight, and i am every so slightly bothered by the feet pointing in the exact same direction (and one boot seems taller than the other arblgf my non-existent OCD). Also, horse riders butt is too pointy. Almost all butts have a nice and round curve to them. :v

I didn't actually use references for those particular drawings, but at first I used anatomical pictures from Google Images. Then I just looked at a lot of cyborg and robot pictures when I got the hang of drawing normal arms.

Trying two thing with some skelebro miniatures I bought. I started with an under-coat of sepia wash on a spearman and an axeman, and I'm straight-up painting another one first.

I've also got a druid/animal companion set with the sepia wash that I can't wait to dig into but I'm waiting on a little experience first. I'll have pictures of the first half of my skeleton army once the three are wholly painted and detailed.

Stuff from the Aurora 4x thread over in the "Other Games" subforum. I made these. First image was something I made in response to someone talking about how they got jumped by some big, strong ships when they least expected it.

None of it's from scratch. It's three? different mugs chopped up and combined, recoloured, and resized, but that one contains no unique assets (bar the tattoo). I do have mugs that have a bit of unique stuff, but mostly I just butcher the actual works.

In other news, I've been trying to work from reference. Here's attempt 3:

Left is a sketch in fineliners, right was sketched in fineliners and completed with a brush pen. The horns are all like whaaaaaaat but I'm mainly just thrilled it came out somewhat symmetrical at this point.

Yeah, like you say, it's got a couple of issues, but at least it makes a nice chance than the average FEF character :P

There seems to be lose pixels between the loose strings of the headband in 2, and the neck join near the ear in 4 is a bit odd. In four you could probably nix the pony tail and replace it with a different one to make it less 'Lyn's head on X body'.
Aside from that, they seem to work, yeah.

I'd personally recommend trying to add a bit more to the faces if you're going to reuse them. A scar, tattoo, or unique makeup can go a long way in making it more distinctive.

The pixels where the hair overlaps the eyepatch? Half-mask? are a little bit odd looking to me, but that might just be me. Otherwise, it's pretty competently done, far as I can tell.

Those're some cool FEF avatars, everyone! I've always wondered how you make those; they're all a really similar style, so is there some sort of FEF avatar making thing that you use to make them? Or a repository of sprites for combining into faces? Or are they just all the same style because you're all Pathos?

Probably FE6-7-8 (Binding Blade, Blazing Sword, Sacred Stones.) 9 was Path of Radiance, the GameCube entry in the series; the resolutions (and artstyle to some extent) are much better than the GBA games you guys usually use for mugs.

I remember the only FEF avatar I ever made. It was a slightly recolored version of a character from 8 with some armor decoration removed in an attempt to make it clearer he was from a rather low, poor noble house, but actually because I'm not a terribly good pixel artist. :v (I found out later, when I played Sacred Stones, that it was King Fado of Renais, who gets killed at the start of the game. No relation to the Zelda wind sage/random Kokiri NPC/village idiot.)

Fire Emblem on Forums.
It's a turn-based strategy game on the forums that very closely mimics the gameplay and art style of the video-game it's based on.
The main difference is instead of a set story line that the player must follow, the story is up to a GM, and instead of one player making all the decisions for all the characters, each character on the "player" team is controlled by a different player.

Spoiler: Digital drawing of a mech. Before, then after technical critique. (click to show/hide)
I still have problems with it.

Free advice: no doubt worth every penny: the scribble background adds no context and makes the whole thing look like you don't give a shit (but that's obviously not true given everything else you've posted). The left (his left) shoulder joint is glaring because almost every other edge on the thing is rounded, but that's boxy, so it draws the eye there immediately. The whole thing's center of gravity is too far forward so it's going to topple over. All of the weight is on the leg attachment joints, as shear stress.

If you didn't want critique, feel free to ignore. I'm never sure if I should post feedback in this thread or not, so I rarely do...

Totally fine with critique. I don't blame you for feeling the way you do. Some people don't like feedback.

I'm not sure what you mean. Like, I want people to see my drawings and think they're good, but sometimes I just don't feel like drawing a background (actually I don't think I've EVER drawn a background). I did imagine a scene around the mech, such as it is, but I would've felt bored drawing that instead of the mech.

The shoulder on either side make no fucking sense. There's no way for the upper arm to rotate to a lateral position. If I wanted to come back to this I would change that, and also move the place where the upper leg joint connects to the torso further towards the anterior. But I won't because by the end of it I was bored and wanted to draw something else, and so I have done.

You can always do like i do and draw things floating in an endless white void, it's clearly the most effective background in terms of cost versus payout. :v

I meant you've put a lot of detail into rendering the other pieces you posted which makes the scribbles seem harsh by comparison. They also don't follow the ground plane (or any plane) which flattens out and detracts from what is otherwise pretty good perspective work on the rest of it. I should say when I use "background" in this sense I'm not talking an Epic Matte Painting or anything. But like... a pile of crates or the corner of a building, combined with a simple horizon line would make a huge difference.

As Darkmere said, a simple background can go a long way to selling an idea. Especially with things that aren't clear in their use at first glance, placing the mech in an environment that further shows it's use is a really good way to skip writing a bunch of text about it.

And even if you don't want to do that, just making a simple plane and giving it a shadow will go a long way in defining whatever it is you've made.

In any case, figured out what to do with the Jhin theme!

Ohh okay, that totally makes sense. I do gridmaps before I do standing figures now since the first time I tried doing a scene everything was floaty-detached. Ouch. Never letting that happen again.

Yeah drawing a lot of heads is better than drawing one really good head.

Your stuff is so damn good Cheese. I wish I could think of that kind of stuff while I was sitting in class. Maybe it's more apprehension. I'm still not totally comfortable with drawing the stuff I imagine while I'm in public.

I demand to be informed and updated about this comic >:( :p

@Jopax Holy sweet Jesus that's cool. I love the mask and how dynamic it is with the swirls and the smoke. The only thing I could say to improve it would be the arms. They're a bit too short, for me at least.

@Gunin Thanks dude. :) Yeah, I'm gonna get some references for bolters. They're fuckhueg, not peashooters :p

Anyway, as others have said before, make a simple plane to plant it's robot feets in. It'll go a long way.

As for the quantity vs quality thing, it's good to practice by drawing tons of drawings, but you need to be actively practicing something specific (backgrounds, for example) otherwise you're just scribbling on paper. As for drawing in class, just look up once in a while and go ahhh so it looks like you're taking notes :p

Acquire Tumblr, follow a bunch of people (especially artists of a similar calibre to you), post reliably, and if your stuff is good (it is) followers roll in relatively quickly. At which point you can open commissions and so on.

I was thinking about suggesting a digital art study buddy group after seeing that that was a thing on other forums. If there's interest I could organize a Skype call where we just draw together for a couple hours.

If there was a thread exclusively for digital/traditional sketches where you could share about the stuff you're practicing I would post in that all the time. Here I feel obligated to post finished-ish things.

HMMMMMMMMMM

On one hand, that sounds chill as hell, but on the other... I don't actually practice that much, at least not specifically. I just draw dumb things to amuse myself and others, and let practice come along with that. I seek to confirm the notion that if you just do something for long enough, you'll eventually get super good at it. :v (worked for me with Hammerfight, anyways)
So uhh... You can list me down as "potentially interested albeit still undecided". Also, i don't think people would mind you sharing practice sketches here, though i suppose that we could always make a separate and slightly more dedicated thread for it.

If I were you, I would move the stripes on the shield down, increase space between them and make the font black rather than red.
Also, I'd shift the whole top sword to the right, to align it with the bottom one; and also increase space between swords.

But that's just my personal opinion. If you like it that way, leave it.

Post by: Nirur Torir on January 28, 2016, 05:10:18 pm
Replace the shield image entirely. It's obviously blown-up from a low-res image and makes the entire picture look amateurish.

The simple crown looks nice. Next to the more complex swords and shield, the entire picture looks like a jumble of unrelated images thrown together. I'd simplify the swords down to a silhouette like the crown, and find a simpler shield.

Less important, I don't like the yellow-orange in the shield, since the rest is monochrome or red. (It's probably worth keeping in some form if that's his historical shield.)

Not thrilled with the text (my hand is cramping and I'm late posting this as it is, so away it goes), but it was mostly about the gun, which I think turned out pretty well since I've never... like... actually painted anything more complicated than a ball before.

I went ahead and posted a progress gallery Here (https://imgur.com/a/fooUY) because I always like when someone else does that. They're full size and the final image is kinda large, filesize-wise, because I brainfarted on the export format. Sorry.

Your colors are amazing! There's just the right balance of saturation to make everything vibrant without looking tacky. The color scheme's a winner and the armor detailing is great too.
Vastagh's colors are on point. I can think of some designs with too many damn colors (I do like picking on SEED (http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire4/07172008/4/3/d/c/43dcc0e77d6490_full.jpg)).

That's pretty neat! Spheres are actually fairly hard to shade properly, especially in that kind of pearly/metallic way. I can't quite figure out where the light is coming from, though, since the light and shadow don't quite line up.

I live on a mountain (plateau) and I'll tell you, them trees aren't oversized. I'll even link a picture (once I get it...) to show the differences between tree up close, tree on that mountain next to your mountain, and tree on the far side of the next, next, next mountain illuminated by sunlight. It will be a nice photo but I'm going off tangent. :P

Just need a bit of detail here and variance of lighting in between that tree, and that mountain. That lighting helps perspective adjustment and 'oversize fun'.

Looking at the crown [of the hat], the hat doesn't seem to be tilted forwards at all, yet if a human were wearing that hat, it seems you wouldn't be able to see his eyes. Unless you're supposed to wear it on the back of your head all jaunty like? I'm not sure.

You are correct. I drew the brim a bit too wide in the front and didn't put enough contrast on the crown's curve as I should have.

Actually after looking at the reference I take that back; it seems fine. People who wear the hats just have to tilt their head back in order to see something that would normally be at their eyeline. But yeah the shading on the brim does feel like it could use a little something.

was looking at some stuff i did last week. this was proof of concept for another project i imagined while i was doing that Spacesim prototypes. not much to say, the main concept around this was a 2D sidescrolling survival game, in the veins of terraria but a little bit more extensive.

so yeah, this was a concept for the world generation, the idea was that the planet could be large enough to contain at least 3 landmasses with variable geography like mountains, mesas, and even volcanoes. in terms of biome generation, the poles would be located at the edges while the tropics would be in the center. in terms of altitude, the world would be separated in several layer divided in set tiles in height, they are:

I'd recommend displaying them here at the size you'd see them in the game - because ultimately, that's how we're going to see them in the end.

Post by: xaritscin on February 02, 2016, 05:58:52 pm
the final image is set to have a size of 32x32 it would be too smol to put it here. i think, i dont really know how large are the tiles used in those games so its more like trial and error.

like this: (http://i.imgur.com/tgQqLoP.png)

now that i look at it, it doesnt look so bad on that size. the issue i see is that it may get a bit repetitive and also there's the issue with the grass, there may be different tones depending on the Biome so i dont know how to do that (yet). and also the plants, which i think are separated sprites or something like that.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Shook on February 02, 2016, 06:51:02 pm
It seems to tile pretty neatly, and honestly, it's hardly possible to have a single tiling sprite without it being repetitive, so don't worry TOO much about that (either that, or go full ham with an intentionally repeating pattern). However, three of the dark spots form a diagonal line, and... Well, it's going to be noticed by players. :v
It could possibly be fixed by either moving or recolouring one of the three spots that form the line, though my guess is that changing the center one would be most effective. I hope you don't mind me doing this, but EXAMPLE:

(http://puu.sh/mTFCW.png)(http://puu.sh/mTFCW.png)(http://puu.sh/mTFCW.png)
this is still xaritscin's work

Of course, because the human mind is an asshole, that just makes the other three dark spots stand out as a triangle, but at least you can justify that with the fact that any three spots on a plane can form a triangle. :v (varying their sizes might also help)

yeah it seems you cant escape from making a repeating pattern, that is, unless you make an algorithm for it (goddamn procedural generation e.e)

the most i could do is to see how do the different dirt tiles relate to each other. and how the spots will look on rotated objects (upside down, mirrored, bla bla bla).

Oh man, i totally used to be like "rar i want to draw the outline directly with no construction", but then i realized how much of an incredibly cheap shortcut circles actually are, because they cut down the number of redraws by A LOT (and thus the amount of energy spent as well, even with the circle drawing factored in). Me being the lazy fuck that i am, i couldn't resist that notion. :v
If you want, i could try helping you get going with it. If not, well, i'll just keep doing what i normally do. :P

Another possible thing to do is to have a few different tiles to (randomly) select from, at least with relatively simple graphics like that. I've found that 3 is generally a good magic number to avoid alternating repetition. Also, you'll quite possibly find patterns even on prodecurally generated seamless tiles. Trust me, i tried with Filter Forge, and i could still see repeating patterns on 50x50 tiles. :v

Idea for a lizard footman:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I saw pictures of Roman legionnaire roleplayers with bindlesticks and I liked that. I also gave him a weird floppy hat. I don't want him to have a chinstrap but it looks like that's the only way a hat would stay on there, given the shape of the head, so maybe no hats.

I saw a photo of a snake being filmed in IR, and it was the same temperature as the ground (invisible), due to it being cold-blooded. Now I kind of want to draw lizardmangs with assault rifles hiding from a gunship or summat.

these are the current designs for the tiles. 3 types for dirt, havent thought of the destruction effect (havent looked at a good way to make it look cracked with vectors). the particles seem small enough and different in each block to eliminate most patterns. tried to see what i could do with the pieces i have made already.

EDIT: also made a connector block. well, its the same as the non grassy one but with a small patch of grass in a corner so it can blend with the others when making connections

I'd move the shadow a bit up and to the right. Mostly because the reflected light indicates that the light source isn't that far to the right. Also consider softening the shadow edges as it goes further from the source of the shadow. Not by much in this instance but it tends to help make it feel more realistic.

Also also, keep in mind, warm lights give cool shadows and vice versa, tho in this case it seems to be a white light so it'll probably be less noticeable and more dependant on the suface the shadow is cast on, but in any case, i'd reckon it could be a bit less saturated.

... I hadn't even considered the color of the shadow. I didn't know about warm light/cool shadow either, but my color theory reference (http://www.huevaluechroma.com/) is kind of a doorstopper, so it's taking some time to read through. I'll try another pass on it, thank you.

Self-teaching art is turning into quite an adventure.

Honestly, the best way to understand colour is to understand light and materials. Because it's what determines what the colour of something is. Once you learn how the rules work painting anything becomes trivial. Then you go and learn colour theory with regards to complimentaries, contrasts, relativity, compositions and all that so you can arrange stuff so it looks nice and proper with pretty much any palette you can.

I'm still struggling with this myself and it's a long and arduous process, but one well worth the trouble.

On a more serious note, I think the legs are too long. Contrary to the posts above, butts are capable of being this large (since the apparent size of the butt is merely dictated by its proportion to the rest of the image). Currently, the rest of the leg (without the butt) is already longer than the upper half (assuming the butt is part of the upper half). When you consider the butt as part of the lower half instead, the upper half is ridiculously small.

Well, I think the only thing at stake there is the artist's style. It's definitely acceptable for an animated/drawn style. Realistically, a little too lithe.

Attraction has nothing to do with it. That ass is out of this world. Ergo, it must be a xeno ass and must be purged.

Off the topic of butts, here's a snippet of a thing (https://youtu.be/vnUafRpE6Rw) from the same project the city I poster earlier is from. In the world the project is set in, various elements and materials are used for magical purposes - some as foci, others as power sources. In this case, the mana-tornado is the byproduct of a ley line formed by an artificially-constructed deposit of iridium. To actually make the tornado, I used a combination of Maya's nParticle and fluid systems along with a few mathematical expressions to create the rising and circular movements.

Follow-up to the clip I posted yesterday: I finally finished the video. There are three points where I would have liked to add additional clips in, but I don't have time to animate them (much less render them out). When you see blank white for longer a couple seconds longer than seems appropriate, I know it's there; I just can't fix it before the deadline, which is tomorrow at noon.

For context, the video is a cinematic introduction to a DnD-ish (actually a homebrew system) campaign I'm running IRL, and yes, I am aware of how ridiculous the concept of a cinematic for a DnD campaign is. I've got all my setting information down on paper, all my campaign notes written up, NPCs planned out, PC backstories fitted into the plot, character sheets ready to be printed for players to fill out (homebrewed system and all that), music and ambient noise picked for different places and events, and this video to hopefully set the stage.

The main plot revolves around a war brewing between the kingdom the players are currently in and the barbarian tribes to the north. The group is led by one of the PCs, a ladder-climbing knight (accompanied by a roving wizard-for-hire and a smooth-talking collector-of-the-strange) who is being entrusted with a mission to retrieve a mysterious source of power that the kingdom's scryers have unearthed in the wilderness. However, not all is as it seems and all that junk. Cue high adventure, political intrigue, powerful sorcery, ancient evils, and slapstick tavern fights.

Here's the video. (https://youtu.be/3S0tux1WNZo)

So i've been playing some Dino Run DX, and then it struck me that i got Spriter (https://brashmonkey.com/) in an earlier Humble Bundle, and well...

(http://puu.sh/mZMfR.gif)

This kind of animation is a WHOLE LOT LESS time consuming. :v (nevermind the spots on the shoulders, they need removing)
Still needs some easing for the legs, but overall i'm decently happy with this, considering that the whole process took maybe two hours.

Edit: QUICKTWEAK also removed black spots

That's an awesome-looking dino, Shook! I don't see Spriter stuff that often so it's nice to see that it's capable of making short, simple animation so quickly. Dino Run DX is also awesome. I've played the series for years now and recently got ahold of the Steam version so I could give back to PixelJam.

I'm curious, though. What would your dino look like if it had beady red eyes and yellow skin like this (http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/dinorun/images/0/08/Raptor.png/revision/20151002011507)? I know Spriter editing is pretty modular so it shouldn't be too hard to make?

But you felt better about it, and that's the important part (not to mention what the guys above me said). Trust me, i once used to be in that exact wagon, and it took a surprisingly big toll on my mood and desire to draw. People then told me to stop doing that thing (i think that's how it went, anyways), and well, it actually did have a positive effect on me. It's not that i suddenly think that i'm the cream of the crop (i still feel like i'm still a beginner, and i might well be so), i'm just... More okay with what i make. Having gotten better certainly helps, so i'm not entirely sure why you'd be feeling less okay about your better drawings. :v (hypothesis: higher skill level allows you to spot flaws more easily?)

Thanks bro! Yeah, it is SUPER FAST in comparison to traditional animation, which in this case, at an equal frame rate, would have taken at least twice as long (and also note that half the time was spent drawing and rigging the model, so additional animations would take even less time). Also, i suppose it would look kind of like Bay12's logo creature. :v
It is indeed comparatively easy to recolour the dinosaur and such, although it still consists of 13 individual parts (i should have made it 15 by separating the toes from the foot sjhfdjsgdf). That'll be a project for tomorrow.

There's a phenomenon where people get better at things as they spend time practicing them. If you somehow did draw better in the past than you do now, I would be mildly surprised.

Only place I can see that you fucked up is the size of that image, amirite

For real, though, you're doing fine. Your color choices for the bottle work, it's in a cartoony style, the lighting is consistent, and you're better at drawing than you were in the past. At this point, you can do one of two things (I mean, there are a lot of things you could do, but I'm narrowing it down to two): you could continue to beat yourself up for not living up to your own standards (and bear in mind that we don't know what your standards are. All we see is decent art and then you lambasting yourself), or you could stop flagellating yourself for long enough to decide what exactly you're aiming for and then create a logical plan to reach your goal. Just start by giving examples of things drawn in the general style of (and at the quality level of) what you would want to draw.

Also, on the topic of 'artistic inclination', ask yourself this question: 'do I draw stuff?' If you answered yes, then CONGRATULATIONS, you're artistically inclined.

For the past week I've been working on some Space Station 13 graphics. My goal is to make enough tiles for a bare-bones game then pitch them to a programmer working on a remake.

(http://orig06.deviantart.net/4733/f/2016/039/0/8/ss13_mockup_4_by_dragondeplatino-d9r2311.png)

How do the humans look? I'm afraid to add more outfits lest I make changes to the base and have to update everything to match them. I want the people to look perfect before I move forward and add the rest of the departments.
Give it to Space Station 14 dev's....
if they are still working on it

At this point I assume there's a conspiracy to prevent all SS13 remakes from being finished. I mean, think about it, there's a dozen remakes of it in the work, but none of them ever get any tangible product.

I think someone, maybe exadv himself, is going around privately getting the developers to stop working on their remakes. I don't mean assassinations, because then the conspiracy would be revealed. I just think the remake developers are being pitted against each other, sabotaging their efforts.

LOL I get it guys, the mockup so far is a little too mild for a game like SS13. Ludicrous gibs will be coming later, they're just lower on my priority list. :P

I think the humans look pretty good. Except that detective, it looks like his face is being censored. But for the most part there is just enough space to suggest a face, without being so big as to make everything else look under-sized.
What do you mean by "censored"? And yeah, the heads of these sprites went through several iterations before I arrived at the current ones. They're smaller than the existing heads but big enough to accomodate small details like sunglasses.

The problem with all of the SS13 remakes is that they're too freakin' ambitious! They want to throw out the 32x32 graphics in favor of huge 64x64 textures and fully-modelled environments. And for an enormous non-commercial game like SS13, that sort of workload simply isn't possible. It quadruples the amount of work, adds another barrier for new content and severely limits who can contribute art.

So overall, my goal for this project is to make marginal improvements. Better art direction, a unified palette and a consistent perspective in roughly the same resolution. I've considered giving these graphics to the SS14 devs (I found their art IRC and it's still active), but I doubt they'd accept them. If you look at this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rpEtUP0md8) gameplay footage, you'll see they've committed all of the mistakes I mentioned above. For them to accept my graphics, they'd have to throw out everything they made so far and I doubt their artists would be happy with that.

But then again, I could possibly suggest my graphics as some sort of "alternate tileset" to what they have so far...hmm...

Ah, yes. But that is the intention here, no? The simpler a face looks, the easier it is to imagine several different faces on it. I could draw out a nose, eyebrows and mouth, but then it becomes more difficult to suspend your disbelief and project your own character onto the head.

Very cool, man! I'm especially a fan of the cataclysm items. Everything's nice and sharp and you seem to ahve a good grasp on forming smaller shapes. The Simon is also pretty awesome. I would probably change his proportions a bit, though. A spooky character like Simon is well-suited to realistic proportions and the head seems a little too wide here, with the neck also being too long.

Quote from: Kot on February 09, 2016, 05:34:34 pm

Of course. But it does a lot more for morale when the game you're working on actually looks like a game instead of a blank room with a featureless person walking around. I know it sounds silly, but I've had people approach me and say they were inspired to start game development because of the graphics I made. Roggle (https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=52383.0) being one such example. Really, it's way easier to get into game development when most of the art has already been done for you (even if it just ends up being placeholder art).

You've done a really good job here! The hair looks a little flat since there's so little shading, but everything else is pretty well-rendered. The shading on the face is well-done and there's a lot of character to this head. I would ditch the palette in favor of a more contrasting one, though. It would make the shading easier to make out and would add some vibrancy.

Thank you! And I will take the info into account, and add some more shading to the hair, and make a more striking palette.

Hey, thank you! Simon does need his proportions fixed, I'll see about doing another version. I was trying to do a more anthromorphized version to show his human personality, but I think I ended up caught between realistic and cartoony. I'll might have another go at it - I really like his character design.

64x64 graphics were sort of forced onto ss14, since it's a source release of something the goons worked on for over a year, but supernorn didn't want to release their art so they were left with an engine built around 64x64 but no graphics. also there's weird stuff going on with character sprites, fairly sure those are prerendered 3d models... (which, considering the historical problems with ss13 and clothing, is a sensible decision in a way)

I made it in Blender, rendered using Cycles, the lines around the object are made with the FreeStyle thing in Blender but the lines inside are just a texture.
The shading is a sun-light and a dark orange background color.

Also, that drawing is looking nice :)

Ayup, shadow colour is based on the material that's in the shadow as well as the light source casting said shadow. Your light seems to be some sort of very pale blue? So a cool light, which means the shadows should be a nice red, desaturated to the point of just being warm enough but otherwise leaving most of the saturation to the bits in lit up by ambient light, and again, very little saturation on the bits directly hit by the light.

I don't know any tutorials or really good hints, but if you get a great colourscheme before, and stay with it a lot, your work will look better whatever letters of ASCII you use.

I'm learning how to use ZBrush, a 3d sculpting program. It's similar in some ways to Mudbox, which is what I've used in the past, but it has a ton of features that Mudbox doesn't have. It also has the most backwards-seeming interface I have ever used. All of the UI quirks and oddities have purposes once you learn how to use it, but trying to transition from Maya to ZBrush is a pain in the ass.

That's pretty much how it goes.

But since I only really make splices, with very few original pieces, I'm more rearranging and adjusting, so there's not much call for lineart or anything. Things are already drawn for the most part.

When I do make unique assets, I do tend to just draw them, and poke at them until they look acceptable or I give up.

Lineart/No lineart depends on what I'm going for, but usually there will be atleast a rough sketch that I paint over, simply to have a general idea of what goes where. For the most part it gets turned off shortly after most of the values/colours are in since it tends to fuck with the image if you leave it on for too long and realise later on that if you turn off the lineart a chunck of what looked really nice will now be missing.

In any case, good stuff to start learning drawing is any of Andrew Loomis books (fun with pencil is great for starting out), they're all free and found around the web in pdf format. As for videos, CTRL+Paint has a bunch covering different topics (http://www.ctrlpaint.com/library)

Lineart is not always the most beneficial thing--also there are other methods to beginning a painting, digital or physical. Personally, I find that "blocking it out" is generally how the best do it before whittling it down to perfection.

There should always be some kind of prep before you draw something, but what kind depends heavily on what you want to do.

I usually draw in order of easiest thing to draw from last. So I'll start with a doorway, or maybe the table and chair, or the candle sitting on the table. Then I draw the little bits and bobs around the room, then I finally move on to drawing the person.

Huh, odd. I'm not sure why, but sometimes when i look at it just the right way, it just unnerves the shit out of me, as if there's something wrong or missing that i can't place my finger on. Maybe it's because my brain can't quite decide whether it's a dog or human (due to the obscured ears), and sometimes ends up registering it as a human, in which case it would indeed look horribly wrong. :v

I wanna throw out an idea and see what everyone thinks

As a bit of an experiment to help me learn to draw plants (flowers) I was thinking of making a sort of game

It would start with just a green blade of grass and then people would suggest a trait and if it would be dominant or not, the next image would be four new plants and depending on dominance there would be new looking plants, then they would choose one of the four to add a trait to which would result in four new drawings then another trait to another plant and so on and so forth

Would that be something people would like to try?

Second version. I was trying to create a sort of hand-painted aesthetic with more defined form rather than the last attempt's generic-textured look. While deciding which one is 'better' is pretty much entirely subjective, I'm happier with this one because I tried to emulate a specific style and more-or-less succeeded, which is more valuable to me than having a more realistic but less intentional texture.

You're getting better at depth, so that's pretty cool. Now you can start thinking about working on your lines, since they're fairly uneven much of the time. Remember this thing that you've probably been linked (http://pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299)? I'm talking about jaggies here. Always try to keep curves smooth and corners distinct. For corners between two visible surfaces (i.e. front and side of Reaperblock), there are a few dirt cheap tricks that can help accent it without a massive black line:

(http://puu.sh/nej3T.png)

First of all, a bit of perspective works wonders. Secondly, i personally have three main ways to accent the corner (besides black line, which is replaced here): 1: Blend the shades for a smooth, rounded corner, 2: Abrupt change in shade for a neutral sharp corner, and 3: Highlight the entire corner to REALLY bring it out. You've mostly done the second version, although i'd love to see some more contrast between light and shadow. Sunlight is fucking harsh, so you get a lot of leeway in terms of "too much" (still possible, albeit surprisingly hard, to overdo it), although it is of course possible to have a cloudy day, just be aware that it tends to look less interesting due to the much more subdued shadows and highlights. Being bold can sometimes pay off, y'know. :v
Also note, concave (inwards) corners work the same way, EXCEPT that if you are to pull a number 3 on them, you should go with a dark line instead of a bright one. Just as a highlight makes a convex corner stand out, a shadowed line makes concave corners deep.

also reaperblock seems rather front heavy

The poses you pull off are really impressive for pixel art, Kot. Well done. I have no problems with the way he's holding the gun, real officers do all kinds of funny poses with their guns to look cool (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/c4/3c/e3/c43ce326b095d7a89983c311a120b8af.jpg). His hand seems a bit big though.

As for the gun, it looks like a severely undersized laspistol, and laspistols have a rearward trigger set into the grip (http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/8/82/Accatran_Pattern_Mk_II_Hvy_Laspistol.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130309035156), which to me it seems you actually should be able to see it just a little. On the other hand there's so much bloat in the 40k setting that I doubt any fan would bat an eye at Kot handwaving it as a super special pattern of handgun. The writers do that shit all the time.

At any rate I did a slightly changed version (http://i.imgur.com/CHZBFpv.png). I made his glove a little shorter near the wrist so his hand doesn't seem so long, and I added a few pixels suggesting a trigger.

Not intended, though yeah. I totally love to handwave Death Korps Of Krieg (and Armageddon Steel Legion) regiments as using way more autoguns and stubguns as they should, resulting in ridiculous amounts of Mp40s (more like Mp40000s) and Stg44s in far future, though official canon is also guilty of this as there are huge amounts of AK derivatives (understandable), M2 Browning lookalikes (also understandable) and AR15 knockoffs (in Wh40k reality those should proably count as one-shoot weapons, hue).

Using two textures (grass and dirt), two crude bump maps created from those textures, an alpha map, and Maya's layered texture node, I managed to create a semi-passable ground to go along with the rocks. It's not great, but, y'know. Baby steps.

The reason I used an alpha map rather than creating the final combined texture in Photoshop is because this method allows me to tile the grass and dirt textures, which in turn lets me create larger terrain without ruining the resolution of the base textures. It's basically a more hands-on version of what game engines like Unity and Unreal use to allow players to create terrain.

Awesome. Actually awesome. I love how the alpha-map allows for some 50% opacity in sections that looks like actually slightly sparser grass. The left rock does look like it's clipping through the ground, though...

Next up was learning how to use Maya's Paint Effect brush things. The tool lets you quickly create trees and other plants, but getting Mental Ray to acknowledge their existence requires converting them into polygons, applying Mental Ray's materials to them, and then going back and hooking up the node graphs that Maya generated for the default materials to the new materials.

Nobody knows what they're doing at first, but figuring out the tricks of the trade is part of the fun. That wall seems fairly "loose", but if the point of it is to convey a state of disrepair, then that totally works. Most walls in meatspace are quite uniform, though. :v

I was aiming for a sort of dilapidated-medieval lookin' wall, not so much a modern brick wall.
Spoiler: More architectural experiments (click to show/hide)
It turns out things get weirder when you try to use the nanomesh technique with a non-uniform wall (like a wall with an arch through it, for example). The second image is the result of a completely different method of creating tileable textures and normal maps from a more carefully constructed template, which is especially useful for video games (where the number of polygons and unique materials matter a lot more). The actual shapes need some work, though - I don't care for how flat the normal maps ended up looking.

Post by: heydude6 on February 25, 2016, 05:57:07 pm
Don't the majority of games simply make brick walls by slapping on a detailed texture on a flat plane, thereby merely giving the illusion of depth?

Because I'm pretty sure that's what the wall on the right is doing.

That's an poor wall, nowadays they use bump mapping and parallax mapping and whatnot, to make it actually look like 3D walls.

Sometimes they do, but it depends.
Spoiler: No diffuse, only normal map (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Diffuse only, no normal map (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Both normal map and diffuse texture (click to show/hide)
In the first image, there's no texture on the plane. While the actual surface is a dull grey, light behaves as though it was a brick wall because of the normal map. In the second image, there's ONLY a texture (a cruddy one, but still). While you can tell that it's a brick wall, light bounces off of it as though it was a flat plane, which sometimes makes the image unrealistic. Here it's more exaggerated, since I made the wall be abnormally glossy. In the third image, you have both a diffuse map (a texture) and a normal map, so you can have both colors and realistic-ish lighting.

On player models, pretty much every game has both. On background scenery, I don't know how often they leave off normal maps (since they make the game run a bit slower), but I doubt it's all that common in major titles. Because wardens (in the game I'm working on) have little lanterns they carry around, having normal maps on walls would add more of an impact, since players would get to see a moving light pass by the object in question. In a game like Dark Souls, it probably wouldn't be nearly as noticeable (the primary light source is static).

Looking at a game like Silent Hill P.T., the normal mapping on the hallway's walls is much more noticeable.

My method is to use a bunch of circles for body sketches. The exact proportions don't matter, but ribcages tend to be a bit bigger, and pelvises a bit smaller. Forearms tend to reach down to that squishy area between the ribcage and pelvis.

I drew my hand real quick. Even though it's a pretty big drawing, I'm still simplifying a lot of details. This is just one way to draw a hand. Depending on what you want, a "hand" could be a single pixel. It's only as complicated as you want it to be. When you're doing pixel art, try to think broadly. Look at other artists' pixel art and examine the ways in which they simplify details. Reference real life and learn proportion, then play with it. A lot of pixel artists use unrealistic proportions when drawing people.

Post by: Shook on February 25, 2016, 10:06:49 pm
dangit i have been ninja'd three times now but oh well nice cat gunin

Precise proportions only really matter if you're drawing realistically, but it's always worth keeping the relative proportions in mind, i.e. whether you're messing with them or not. As i've both heard and later mentioned myself, it's easier to stylize reality when you know how it looks. :v

Also, drawing from life/photos and stuff is always a good idea, and as always, Andrew Loomis has valuable input (http://www.alexhays.com/loomis/Andrew%20Loomis%20-%20Fun%20WIth%20a%20Pencil.pdf). I was also told/taught a few things about it during arting course, but uh... I've forgotten the specifics. Basically, there are five dividing lines in the full human stature: Top of head, nipples, bottom of crotch, knees and feet. They should be pretty much evenly spaced, and ideally if you're unlike me and actually know what you're doing, the lines should be perpendicular to the center line. I just wing it and say "ok legs and upper body are about equally long" and go from there, but i'm not exactly a role model for good drawing practices.
Besides that, well...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Use a gorillion circles to specify the important bits and have a swooshyline to loosely follow? After that, you should be able to figure out the outline. All this is MOSTLY aimed at regular drawing, but i can assure you, all principles of drawing make themselves relevant in pixel art as well. The biggest difference between pixeling and pencilling is that you have MUCH more fine control over the pixels in the former, so people are probably going to be infinitely more nitpicky.

For a while now, I've been planning on running a new illustrated suggestion adventure, except by 'illustrated', I actually mean 'rendered'. I thought I'd finally learned what I needed to know to create a decent enough scene to use for the game. Then I attempted to create a landscape in Maya and remembered that there's always, 100% of the time, without exception, something in my way that I actually needed to know but didn't know I needed to know.

Long story short (not really short, sorry about that), I looked into new software that would fill this heretofore unknown niche and discovered Vue. It's a bit like ZBrush, but specifically for scenery: landscapes, water, plants and rocks, clouds and skies, and so on. Apparently it was used in the making of How To Train Your Dragon 2, Avatar, Kung Fu Panda, and a whole bunch of other movies.
Spoiler: Mountain, sea, and sky. (click to show/hide)
Preliminary testing to figure out what I'm doing with this thing. I'm not sure where the grain is coming from - I think Vue might have another handful of quality settings separate from Mental Ray's own. I'll figure it out soon enough.

Looks kinda similar to my Barracuda dropships.

Spoiler: From an earlier post for reference (click to show/hide)

EDIT:
I managed to get some more work done with the airship in Minecraft. not really much, but the ship has more form to it now, and I can more clearly see how the whole ship comes together when working on it. Plus, the aft portion of the ship can now be worked on; challenge being, how do I distribute the crew cabins, and the other functions of the ship? Among them being the "Tavern at the Top".

Spoiler: MCEdit Screenshots (click to show/hide)

EDIT EDIT:
If I measured Minecraft correctly, each voxel is approximately 1 cubic meter. Yellows are 10 markers, Reds are 50 markers, and Blues are 100 markers. The big red spots are teleporter points.

The ship is so big, I have a miniature model near the aft of the ship (also gateway to home to other project zones near it) I hooked teleporters to as a means of quicker navigation. Each teleporter is about 100 meters/voxels from each other, and there are teleporters at the endpoints as well.

EDIT EDIT EDIT:
Off the top of my head, I think it's somewhere around roughly 350 meters long. 370, I think, if I read my dotting correctly.

Huh, strange. I disagree strongly. It's by no means bad, but the coloring is sloppier than in most of his finished works, and I'm not a fan of the clean black outlines.

Not a bad piece, but far from the best ever.

I like the clean black outlines. It's kinda like a comic or manga style drawing. If that was the style Jopax was going for, then I think the coloring fits really well.

One of the best, next to his robot painting.

That is actually pretty good, though it's hard to say more without seeing the reference photo. :v
As for hair, it depends on the colour. If it's white, you hardly need more than vague outlines, while darker colours will obviously require a shit ton of pencil strokes. Just remember to make room for the highlights (which, due to individual hairs being cylindrical, are NOT like those of a shiny dome), and you should be good to go. I personally have more trouble stylizing hair than drawing it realistically. :P

I was... actually too embarrassed to post the photo because what I did looks nothing like her. So far, everything I've been doing is constructional drawing, so I was more focused on actually making it look like a person than copying the photo (which I know I need to do more of but the idea of copying something someone else has already done doesn't really interest me at all). I've been told hair is like most anything else, block out the midtones and work darker, then use a kneadable eraser to lift out highlights. There's also apparently some Proko videos on youtube I need to sit down and watch.

Here's the original. (https://suigenerisportfolio.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/model-perspectives.jpg?w=665&h=297)

She has a much more aquiline nose and stronger jawline, longer face and blah blah. I've also been using pens so long I don't remember how to graphite at all, but I can only practice so many things at a time and pens are awesome. Still, it looks more or less like a human being, so I'm pretty pleased that this is my starting point to work up from.

You seem to already be aware of the differences, so i won't preach to the choir (unless you want me to, of course). You can rightfully be pleased to have this as your starting point for portrait drawing, realistic human heads/faces are damned hard to get completely right.

... Sell? Not a single sale yet, although i pretty much only pooped that one out 24 hours ago, so i can't say i'm surprised. As for stolen T-shirt art, i'm not really worried, partly for the same reason as Happyslap, and partly because i honestly don't care that much. I'm in it for fun, profit is just one of those things i need to progress in life. :v (though of course it would be nice if i could make DOSH off of having fun)

Also, i don't know if any of you remember that one time where i tried to make Hatebomb shirts on Teespring and failed miserably, but now you can get one in whatever colour you want from their selection (http://www.redbubble.com/people/comradeshook/works/21142897-hatebomb). This is kind of cheating though, i painted hatebomb over two years ago. :P

I hope some of you guys like musicals, because I made an SFM version of Bring Him Home (http://youtu.be/cmg8ae_yEMU) from Les Mis. I've gotten a bit better at animating since my last video, but it's still pretty rough in some parts.

The animation is a bit stiff, and the lighting's a bit drab, but it's better than anything I can do in SFM.

I believe some of them work differently. Basic_circle should be pressure -> size, but you can adjust any brush by shift + clicking and drag left or right. There's a metric shitton of fiddlybobs in the brush engine settings menu (4th button on the right in the main bar) that I haven't had time to play with much, as well.

EDIT: The circle cursor is the MAX size a brush can be at maximum pressure. If you're working really small, there won't be any variation to speak of. Soft-edge brushes are also a little harder to tell at small sizes than hard-edged ones.

Honestly though, i don't think the dithering works for relatively clean metallic surfaces like that. Knight armour, while possibly a bit dented and scratched, is usually polished to all hell, and doesn't have a grainy texture.

I can easily redo this bit, I've gotten better at MAKING the dithering, but not a whole lot better at putting it on something that actually makes sense xD

Quote from: Shook on March 09, 2016, 08:19:58 pm
Also, it feels like the mouth holes are rather haphazardly placed. The middle one should possibly be vertical, and the furthest one (to our right) should appear narrower due to the curvature of the helmet. In fact, i think you could get away with making them all narrower, one could nearly fit an entire spear through there. :U

Another easily doable thing :D

It seems a bit odd to me that the cape curves TOWARDS his feet, since normally, it'd probably either just like flop into a bunch on top of itself or get dragged away from the knight due to friction. EXAMPLE DOODLE (http://puu.sh/nB0FG.png) (nevermind the phallic shape of his torso, that's just me accidentally drawing dicks without even trying).

I can fix this too, but I might have to redo the entire cape, oh well, it'll look that much better when I fix it.

AND FINALLY, the feather plume kind of looks more like a sausage (not a dick, mind you, just a sausage). Plumes like that will basically never have such a neat outline, it generally needs to be fluffy and/or flowing.

I basically took the shape from the original without even thinking of making it look more like a plume. This is what happens when you are a lazy artist xD Another easy fix.

You know, I know it's been over a month since you said that, but I'd just like to thank you. Before you said that, I really wanted to start learning C++ so I could get into game development. Unfortunately, I was too intimidated to start and procrastinated for months instead. However, your comment was the tipping point for me and a month later I've now learned a bit of C++ and SDL 2.0 from scratch.

In retrospect, I think the reason I've always made big projects like GemSet is because I wanted to develop games but never knew how to program. But now that I have a foothold on programming, I can get that out of my system and make art for my *own* games.

Anyways, keeping in line with the topic, here's a screenshot from my side-scrolling roguelike! It's going to have platforming and physics like Spelunky, but take place on a turn-based grid like Rogue. So far I have rendering, map loading/saving, basic jumping physics and derpy placeholder art. Next up is camera control and enemies!

Nitpick time? Definitely nitpick time, this time it's actually asked for. ;o

Compared to the reference photo, his right eye needs to be more wide (like, dimensionally wide), his left eye is too close to the center line (basically, the distance between the two eyes is about one eye width, but the most important part is that they're evenly spaced from the center), the nose is bent too far down, and the mouth is possibly a little bit too wide (although this could just be stylization, note that in meatspace, a relatively neutral mouth will have corners that line up with the center of the eyeballs, so a smirk would be just a bit further out). His neck is a little on the thick side, but since it's a dude, you can get away with it.

Top hat is always a plus in my book, although as DoctorMcTaalik above me says, it should probably be either further down the head or fitted with a chin strap to keep it from gently sliding off his head. The goggles, while awesomely designed, look like they face DIRECTLY towards the camera, as opposed to the direction that the guy is facing. This is possibly because the goggles don't line up with the eyes (which, mind you, are supposed to look through the lenses :v), and the furthest side of it should be distorted a bit by perspective. Like, you'd definitely not be able to directly see the right side of them, and since the guy is seen a bit from above and the goggles are on his forehead, you wouldn't see much of their bottom either.

As for the hand, the thumb seems a bit off. It's kind of drawn in the same manner as the other fingers, but i think that much of that could be remedied by just drawing the line of the index finger further down (so as to mark the separation between index and thumb).

For what it's worth, here's a couple of maybe slightly relevant things i doodled while nitpicking like a crazy bird looking for corn and worms and stuff (http://puu.sh/nDkEd.png). CHEEKS STORNK.

Noice, definitely better if you ask me. The plume kind of bothers me though; it's still styled like a sausage, albeit a fuzzy one now. As it is though, plumes are more like big-ass feathers, with the fuzz following and pointing out from a central line (http://puu.sh/nEv3K.png). That's kind of tricky to do with pixels, but if you feel for it, that's a thing. A partial (and much easier) fix would be to take what you have here and make it narrow down into a much smaller stem near the helmet, so that it's kind of like a long, floppy and upside-down rain drop.

also hi guise i made the classic super basic bouncing ball animation thing

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yes i totally made that by drawing one circle and moving/scaling it, can't be arsed to draw a new ball for each frame. :v
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Antsan on March 13, 2016, 05:42:11 am
Hmmm, something seems wrong about that animation, specifically the part where the ball is vertically stretched. I think the transition is too sudden and it stays fully stretched for too long. At least that's what it looks like to my untrained eyes.

Or maybe it's the bounce itself that's too short. Looks like you've got one squashed frame for the whole contact of the ball with the ground. I think that should be several frames, with increasing squish followed by increasing stretch before leaving the ground. Although that might look strange, too.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Shook on March 13, 2016, 08:53:23 am
Well, it couldn't be be fully stretched any shorter than it is at this frame rate, but yeah, i kind of messed up on the frame before the "fully stretched" part. As for the bounce, real rubber balls bounce rather quickly on the ground (like, if you drop one to the floor, it'll reverse direction nearly instantly on impact), so i doubt that it would need more than one frame. I can totally buy that the squash/stretch isn't done right (it's both done as a motion blur substitute and an actual deformation for the impact), and i'm not sure if the wobble of the ball when it bounces back up should be there at all, but hey, i'm still fairly new to this. :v

XhAPPYSLApX: I remain impressed by your rate of improvement. I'm not normally much of a fan of pixel art, but I like the knight, and look forward to seeing where you are in a year.
One thing you might want to play around with in future drawings (it's fairly minor and you'd likely be better of making a new piece than re-doing the knight): The shadow is short, suggesting a pretty close light source. At that distance, I'd expect to see a significant difference in shading on the areas close to the light from those further away.

Shadowhammer: The goggle lenses look like they're slightly tilted towards each other.

Shook: I think it might look better if the squish at the bottom less even, with the fat part of the ellipse lower, instead of being a regular ellipse. I dislike the stretch as it's coming down being the same as the stretch coming up (It feels like the bottom squish has no permanence). There's not enough hang as it reaches the peak of the arc (Your gravity is weak and moon-like :( ).

I believe he means the left arm. It's as straight as it can possibly be so I can imagine why it may be too much.

This is how sword and sorcery handled it:

Hopefully you can see the difference.

EDIT: @killerHP

You're definitely improving. Not a big fan of the bullet holes though. They're too evenly distributed making it look more like an artist adding polka dots rather than wounds sustained in combat. Try to concentrate them where fire is most likely to happen or alternatively do away with them entirely for a cleaner look.

The walker on the top-right is my favorite.

I was playing around with blender, and made a sort of vase...jug...thing. It's hardly professional quality, but for a first-time amateur user, I'm pretty proud of it, simple as it is. Could probably do with an actual texture and a higher vertex count, though.

In the third installment of my drawing, I have attempted colours.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
:v colours are hard. Does anyone have any colouring advice? Especially shading. It looks like there's not nearly enough contrast, but whenever I try to do more contrast, it just looks bad. Also, on the face there, I sort of tried to dither the shadow, because it looked a lot like porcelain or something with just smoothly blended edges. I can't tell whether it looks good or not though.
Thanks for all the previous pointers all you guys, they're really helpful!

Does anyone have any recommendations about the tools I should use for doing traditional line art? Mostly I want to be able to draw on the page without having to worry about erasing those lines afterward while I'm in my sketching/idea phase.

What you need is probably a kneaded eraser, since it won't erase the heavier lines. Either that, or ink after sketching, in which case you can freely plow over the entire drawing with a regular eraser without worrying about erasing the final lines. :v
A second alternative would be to somehow get hold of a non-photo blue (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-photo_blue) pencil, which would either disappear in scans entirely or be very easy to remove digitally. I have no experience with this, though, so i can't verify the effectiveness of it.

@Gunin

What shook said, also try lighter lines, as in, sketch very very lightly so it's not an issue of erasing it, or completely ignoring the light lines because the main ones you do for real will be stronger. Here's an example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6myAjeebHU), and even though he's using something completely different from pencils (and somewhat difficult to do right if I may add) the principle is the same. He leaves all the sketchy groundwork in there because it's so light that you don't really notice it that much when compared to the much stronger lines of the main deal.

Today is "as-yet-nameless GunFran character day" for me, it seems.
Spoiler: First one was a wild ride and a test of a new shading method for me (or just a new brush but same idea :p); second one was a more refined design with a better palette (provided by a friend with actual art education and experience) and overall given a facelift and a more proper feminine look that the first version did not really portray all too well (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Bonus: second version's in-dev screenshots (click to show/hide)

There's still some improvements to be made to the second image even as I look at it right now (I complete forgot to color and shade the chain on her belt, and the shading overall could use a few touchups since I kinda just rushed it), but hey, I'm pretty satisfied with how this day (or week, really) has turned out.
Uploaded the edited version, ft. fixed belt chain, more pronounced lighting and highlights. Good stuff.

Hooray, someone actually remembered! Also yes, i totally agree, i'm in the process of doing what i think is exactly that (i also have some lines in an underlying sketch). Lazy i may be, but i'm not one for mixing flat colours with... Whatever shading style that is. :v
Also, nice vikingbro! Gotta give you props for not going with the conventional "horned viking with 2 foot long beard" type (not that i mind it), vikings probably did look a lot more like this. A few nitpicks: Shoulders are TOO square, even for a big dude, and his fingers are too short; the knuckles should be pretty much dead center on the given finger bones (i probably don't need to tell you that fingers aren't equally long, but o well lol). Also, the shield somehow looks like it's just oval instead of facing slightly away from the viewer, and i'm sadly not quite aware of how to fix that. :<
Gotta say though, the shoulder plate thing is pretty damn cool!

-Viking stuff-

All correct criticism, and yet all I can see is the shit perspective I did on the right arm. The shield fix would be to give it actual 3D form, and an edge along this side to show it's not just a big wafer-thin cardboard cutout of a shield. More depth on the centerpiece would have helped, too. And a few months more anatomy studies on my part. And it still feels like I'm fighting the tablet to do what I want, but that's just going to take time and a lot more lame paintings.

Mmmm, that one is greatly eye pleasing, my only nitpick would be that if the little bit poking from the ground is the supposed tail, it's kinda too close to the rest of it. As in, if you try and trace the body trough the ground then it would seem to be making a rather sharp and not very comfortable bend at a certain point to be able to stick out of the ground like that.

I made my first Mario in Mario Maker, and was rather happy with how it came out. Couldn't find a dedicated thread, so I figured this was as good a place to share it as any.

Mmmm, that one is greatly eye pleasing, my only nitpick would be that if the little bit poking from the ground is the supposed tail, it's kinda too close to the rest of it. As in, if you try and trace the body trough the ground then it would seem to be making a rather sharp and not very comfortable bend at a certain point to be able to stick out of the ground like that. And after looking at it a bit better the same seems to be true for the front part of the body too. So maybe just move these bits apart a bit?

Other than that, awesome work so far :D
Aw shiet, thanks bros! I actually did line up the entire body of the worm in the initial sketch (http://puu.sh/nQ1kc.png) (wormbro can take SHARP turns underground), but i totally agree, it looks off right now. I'll try fiddling a bit with it tomorrow, i've already invested too much time in it to not go full ham. :v

But, for a change of pace, i decided to try sketching Markiplier's face here (http://puu.sh/nNUk5.jpg).

There's apparently some problems with the colorspace I'm using and exporting to .jpeg that's screwing up the speech bubbles there. First time I've noticed it screwing up RGB values, so I'm gonna poke at it in the next few days and see what happens.

I'm making a solar system simulator.  But first, I'm learning openGL (I'm too much of a hipster to use a premade engine) in conjunction with SFML.  It's been challenging, but fun:  I'm working through the OpenGL superbible to do it, fun book in case anyone here ever wanted to do something with OpenGL:  works through the shader pipeline logically with examples.  I've just recently gotten tesselation working, here:

The code for the actual movement of planets is done, though it's a little hacky and probably breaks for certain boundary conditions.  Oh, well.  I'll get back when I actually have something that looks like something working.

His right arm has problems. The upper arm is less than half as long as it should be, and is broken in the middle to make that angle. Forearm is more accurate, but the wrist transition is... not there, so that's awkward, too. Hard to tell where the palm begins, it should be redder for more blood vessels in the hand.

It's sorta gained a gestalten theme over time of being about separating an old thing from it's old meaning, and making it new; particularly so regarding popular culture or old mass media. PBS Idea Channel did a pretty cool thing on Vaporwave and things like Youtube Poop which I really appreciated (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFFPguIXI6o&list=PLtHP6qx8VF7dN2FziRQD5U7XsBnELgpal). I'd apply the same phenomenon to the Flash Animutations of the early 2000's too.

Edit: So, with the advertisement thing, it aims to celebrate old commercial art and advertisement aesthetically, removed from the actual Advertisement Content. And so on.

So lately I've kinda been working on my somewhat-old 'imaginary 2000s cartoon show' concept, and made myself a personal wiki for it. (it's not anywhere online so don't bother looking)
I did have a decently established cast of characters (that I drew and posted a while back as well), but since I don't feel like doing art lately, I've mostly been doing two things - episode titles for three full seasons, and missing episodes (because speculation is fun, and double speculation is even more fun).
Here's an example.

I should have said I started when only 3 (of the... 8 now?) books were out. Took like 12 years for the rest of them. From what I hear A Song of Ice and Fire is worse, so I guess it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Study the anatomy of the arm :3 It's simple inasmuch as following the joints and the methods used to accommodate the flexion and contraction of the arm (ie If you'd like to be creative (http://www.healthpages.org/anatomy-function/bones-arm/), remember the limitations of the arm, and that everything that doesn't move on a joint is protected by a straight plate).

Love that armor though o_o Do you start drawing them as-is, or by layers of color?

I've found out why I'm a bit-hard up. I draw purely from memory...and while it does personally help me given my own technique, it takes a ton of erasing and modifying than if I had used a template-method in the first place. >_>

I really don't like the end result myself, but i do have two "excuses" for underperforming: Firstly, i'm not on my usual Wacom tablet, and secondly, my anxiety was flipping out, and i can't think clearly while it's doing so. But WHY was it doing so? Well, because i was recording the whole thing, and because i'm almost always anxious about drawing at my gaming rig.

This has been my pride and joy for several months now:
Plan Ahead: Mariocraft (B9ED-0000-004B-D7D4)
It's a Super Mario Maker level with multiple possible routes and a few devious traps. I typically go OVER the thwomp when I play the level, but EpicJames, the current record holder (AKA EpicGameMusic, who played the level on live-stream), went underneath the twomp and flew to safety.

Today I made a sequel.
Into the Nether: Mariocraft (4225-0000-0219-FC15)
It's slightly more linear and puzzle-y, but using what you learned in the last level, find the keys to enter, and then escape, the nether; avoiding the pigmen hammer bros, wither skeletons drybones with chompy heads, and blazes firey death by bob-omb there. Once back in the overworld, there's an End Portal not far off, but you'll need the third key to get through. Watch out for the sliverfish Monty Moles!

The idea is that it's a multiplayer simulation game like Space Station 13. Instead of a space station it's set in a fallout shelter and instead of fighting a traitor (Though there would be a traitor gamemode), the main goal is to either fully repair the rapidly failing systems of the fallout shelter or be the last man standing at the end.

Well, a short while back I posted some Mario Maker levels in this thread.
My second one was apparently too hard; nobody could here the bird saying there were three keys, and the clear rate was 0/20. So I deleted the uploaded version, fixed a bunch of things (like replacing all the key doors except the first, and replacing the keys with key-coins), added checkpoints, and reuploaded it with "V1.1" in the title.

New ID: 6C22-0000-0220-856B

You look at a complex shape, think about how it can be simplified into simpler shapes, draw those shapes, then add complexity on top of it.

The basic idea, from the site I learned it from. (http://drawabox.com/article/construction)

Google image results for "drawing a head construction" (https://www.google.com/search?q=drawing+a+head+construction&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj8qKjg2YzMAhUMbj4KHUGpDpkQ_AUIBygB&biw=1270&bih=675)

Post by: Shook on April 13, 2016, 06:43:04 pm
Spot on. Memorizing the full 3D shape of anything complex is VERY HARD, so it's a great idea to build these complex forms out of simpler ones. I personally do it in an extremely lazy and likely ineffective manner that probably shouldn't be seen as a go-to example, but the most important parts of construction is to guide your lines and to make a blank canvas less intimidating. As usual, Andrew Loomis ends up covering it quite well (http://www.alexhays.com/loomis/Andrew%20Loomis%20-%20Fun%20WIth%20a%20Pencil.pdf). :v

Well, it's a bit hard to judge without more context. Can you tell me more about the project?
The idea is that it's a multiplayer simulation game like Space Station 13. Instead of a space station it's set in a fallout shelter and instead of fighting a traitor (Though there would be a traitor gamemode), the main goal is to either fully repair the rapidly failing systems of the fallout shelter or be the last man standing at the end.
Sounds pretty cool. I'd imagine that a main difference would be the underground nature of the map, changing the dynamic considerably.

Yep! One thing, to be exact: The straight lines should be distorted by the curvature of the planet/moon. something like this (http://puu.sh/oiuhD.png), but in case that doesn't make much sense, the closer you get to the edges of a globe, the more squished the features on it are going to be. Also note, a line that's parallel to the radius of the globe (i.e. points directly towards the center of the visible circle) is going to be completely straight, although if it has a significant thickness, it'll be thinner towards the edges.

Perhaps this isn't relevant but a few weeks ago I drew a realistically shaded comedy mask. All the people that I showed were very impressed with it (especially the artsy types), but when I tried to scan it and upload it here, most of the lighter tones disappeared. Because of this, you got this unwanted contrast between thickly shaded areas and areas that look completely untouched. The work lost a lot of its original appeal.

Anyway, I was wondering if you guys had any ideas about how I can avoid that.

I'm assuming it's been done in pencil? You just have to make the whole thing darker. That's just how scanning works, it lightens everything and doesn't pick up subtle shades, and thin lines will disappear. Just give the whole thing a going over with your pencil.

Either that or take your scanned image and add those missing shades in digitally.

That would be awesome! I meant for it to just be a sort of sketchy sketch, so I was never really planning to finish it, but if you want to keep going with it, that would be super cool!

You also might be able to just take a picture of it with a digital camera; I find that that doesn't wash out pencil drawings nearly as much.
Or, to do the second thing GUNIN mentioned, all you have to do is take the scanned image and reduce the brightness of it, using something like Paint.net - human eyes are able to distinguish between values better when they're dark because a small change in absolute brightness represents a large relative change (or something like that).

This is NOT a critique of anyone's art.

Barratry 2UU
Instant / Uncommon
Counter target spell.
Retrace (You may cast this card from your graveyard by discarding a land card in addition to it's other costs)
When you cast Barratry, draw a card immediately.


It's possibly too expensive for a counter card, but it's a cantrip, and the card draw can't be countered like the rest of the card. Plus, retrace. I'm actually considering 1UU might be better, but I want to er on the side of caution.

cryptic command is 1UUU and is still really powerful, although that is in large part due to its flexibility. not sure if this lives up to that.

the uncounterable cantrip ability is pretty interesting (and should lose the immediately, makes the wording pretty confusing). retrace + that ability probably makes it a rare due to complexity concerns, though. not sure if wotc would even print spells with cast triggers, since the whole spell is sort of supposed to be a cast trigger :v

The same. Scaled up by maybe a factor of four, which... we'll say I did on purpose. Sure, let's go with that.

It is a source of some significant humiliation to me that I managed to somehow leave out the tail. Like, I did some sketches before this to try to get to grips with how exactly to make the body fit together as described, and then... flunk.

I didn't overlay a texture, if that's what you mean. Or use any filters. It looks somewhat canvas-y because I painted quickly with a brush made up of a bunch of rough little blobs.

Yup, it's a photo manip, of some Wikipedia photo of a battleship.

I cut the sky out (it was damn tedious), then used Threshold and Color To Alpha tools to give it that old photo look. Then blue, pink and yellow gradients made the new color of the sea and sky. I put the sun on a layer under the ship but before the background, erased the sun underneath the ship where appropriate so that the pink color would show through. Some manual corrections and bam.

In my (admittedly uneducated) opinion, the models themselves are decent, and the fish texture is nice. I would highly recommend changing the texture/color on the buildings and the statue, though, to something a little less harsh.

Also, I changed the lighting. The floor was way too bright, and it's using a single real-time light as opposed to the mess of baked and mixed lights in the first shot.

I mean, technically the luger was a german pistol, it predated the nazis by a few decades. :V

Going for the nintendo lightgun visual, I'd make it a little more angular and raygun-esque, but then I have no real idea.

I JEST, great stuff! Quite subtle expressions for the most part (almost too subtle for me, but it is a pseudo-known fact that i like my expressions delivered with the subtlety of a rocket-powered sledgehammer); perhaps experiment with raising the mouth a bit for the happier ones? Faces tend to scrunch up when smiling, so a happy mouth being at the same distance from the nose as an unhappy one seems a bit off. Also, i envy your ability to draw hair. :v


Thanks, for pointing that out Shook. Should really keep it in mind when drawing faces.

I drew a smaller version of the horned girl below, and then Gunin changed the hair:

(http://i.imgur.com/ZelrkhH.png)
It's 16-bit, hence the outline is purple rather than black.

So I tried to adjust the larger sprite to match.

(http://i.imgur.com/hZnlzWZ.png)

Does anyone have any tips on how to get the hair right, at the top? How it looked before was very helmet-y, but it looks odd with the lines. I'm also interested in people's opinions in general.

EDIT: I made the hair a bit messier.

For all the artists and writers out there, I recommend listening to Plague of Gripes' How to Draw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkNeZDRuqWs). He doesn't talk about techniques or anything. It's mostly just an hour and a half podcast of him talking about drawing, and artists.

The thing I took away from this is that instead of JUST practicing, I should draw the things I like. I feel dumb saying that. I can imagine people thinking "why wouldn't you draw stuff you like?" Crap, I dunno. I thought I had to draw even if it made me miserable.

Honestly, i've always wondered why people say that getting good at art has to be a HARD AND LABORIOUS PROCESS ROARG. Sure, with a teacher and a gorillion drawings a day, you'll probably make very fast progress, but if it's not enjoyable then i'd personally rather do it at my own pace. I don't even draw every day, and when i do, it's often just a 20 minute doodle for the giggles, and i can confirm that this does work, albeit slowly. Truth be told, i'm not even entirely sure when or how improvement started, but my theory is that just as you tend to get good at video games you enjoy, so will you get good at drawing if you have fun with it. Of course, having had actual dreams about being super good at art also helps. :v (fun thing about that: i have an equally little idea of how it works in dreamspace and meatspace, it's just like *scribble scribble* oh there's art cool)

Hee~ :3
I learned this before while drawing sticks and smudging my fingers. My dad walked by and glanced at my work, then patted me on the shoulder, telling me "Draw what you love and you'll draw the best you can." So I did that (which explains why in the rare times I DO draw, it comes out good. Though I seriously take ~2+ hours everytime, even if the medium is a 1/2 short bond paper ._.)

But I only remembered all that after watching a wonderfully simple movie (http://asianwiki.com/My_So_Has_Got_Depression) in our Stress1 (Psychology course) class. >~<

That said. I bop you calling yourself dumb :v
It is wisdom to realize that there is insight in simple things. Not many people can perceive that with how complex life is. :3
(Probably change the idea of 'feeling dumb' to something humorous. It sticks better in mind if it's something personally positive, anyway)

Nah it's OK to feel dumb sometimes, because that means you recognized you made a mistake, which means you're learning. Actually dumb people don't know they're dumb. So yeah. Sometimes you don't see the wisdom in something simple until it's been repeated to you five different ways.

Having a picture in your mind and just not being able to make your hands do it is the worst feeling ever. But I've failed enough that I'm starting to get better. If you don't have the courage to be bad at something for a while, then you'll never get good at it.

Yeah, basically. You have to be willing to be bad in order to git gud improve, or at least have the perseverance to tank through it, because if you really want to learn how to draw super good, you can (i mean, unless you have a condition that prevents it).

If you want my coding advice, I would reset the velocity to zero(although perhaps a different number. Zero would probably just mean the bird falls) any time the player makes the bird jump. This would make the bird jump at predictable height because one problem I've noticed is that when you press the jump button too many times, the bird suddenly turns into a rocket ship and soars into the air, and if the bird was flying downwards very quickly, then you have to press it multiple times in order to regain balance.

You should probably also increase the jump height.

I would make these changes myself, but I don't know JavaScript (or physics).

Ding! Probably my fault if it doesn't look like a horse, but hey, it's not like he couldn't launch a snek if he wanted to. :v

@Cinder: Doin' good there broheim! The only note i have is that the figures that are standing curved (LIKE BANANA MAN) are probably leaned too far forwards; the center of gravity is roughly at the height of the belly button (centered in the torso of course), and it should generally be above the feet if there's no locomotion going on. Besides that, it seems to me like you're well on your way along the PATH TO POWERTM. c:

That was sort of the point (although I could have put lower limits on the speed).

But I implemented your suggestion and it plays much better now (https://jsfiddle.net/83cgLwy7/5/). Thanks! (also increased gap size a little)

The pixels look really fat and jagged on your curves. It looks like you were using a 2x2 brush or line tool. You should try to smooth them with some antialiasing. Here's a good tutorial for that: http://opengameart.org/content/chapter-6-anti-aliasing

So I drew a spaceship thing. It's got some fairly major things missing, like comms, detection equipment, and heat radiators, but other than being a blind, mute oven it seems to be a fairly usable design. Also I suck at drawing. :V
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Parsely on June 05, 2016, 07:42:38 pm
You could combine armory/supplies/ammo into one location. Also don't forget the symmetry not only of the outside but also of the interior of the ship. Ideally mass should be distributed equally on all dimensions of the craft. That's very important for a space vessel if you want to make as few adjustments as possible when flying somewhere.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Amperzand on June 05, 2016, 07:50:31 pm
The symmetry was another part of me messing up the design.

As for ammo/supplies/armory, I was assuming that "Ammo" meant big racks of lightly radioactive missiles and railgun slugs, "Supplies" means water tanks, hydroponics, ETC, and "Armory" means man-portable gear.

The ammunition section is basically a big feed zone for the various ship-gun autoloaders, the supplies section is infrastructure for food, and the armory is a prep section for people who intend to fight as themselves, along with possibly hosting any ground drones the ship carries. IMO different functions, rather than just arbitrarily separated supply dumps.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Parsely on June 05, 2016, 10:06:41 pm
The best practice would be to store the ammo for any particular weapon in individual magazines as close as possible to the weapon itself, especially if the weapons load automatically.

Other than the fact that it's legs seem to be on different planes, that's a pretty neat bug there :D

Also shook, the golden ration is kinda bollocks in anything but architecture. What you want is the rule of thirds, dynamic balance and a bunch of other terms I can't remember right now. I'll see if I can find a decent tutorial of some of the often used compositional tools.

But really, the best approach to this stuff is to see some master painters and try and figure out how and why they composed their stuff as they did and then try and apply that stuff to your works.

Other than the fact that it's legs seem to be on different planes, that's a pretty neat bug there :D

I think they were, though - the picture I used had the bug on a curvy leafy thing, so the legs were splayed out a bit.

Also shook, the golden ration is kinda bollocks in anything but architecture. What you want is the rule of thirds, dynamic balance and a bunch of other terms I can't remember right now. I'll see if I can find a decent tutorial of some of the often used compositional tools.

But really, the best approach to this stuff is to see some master painters and try and figure out how and why they composed their stuff as they did and then try and apply that stuff to your works. No point in bumbling around in the dark if most of the room has been mapped beforehand, just gotta learn how to read the maps :D
If nothing else then i can at least borrow books in the library, they have quite a few. :v
As for mapped room metaphor, i totally get what you're saying (and it is absolutely a good idea to look at how masters do their thang, i would recommend that to everyone), but my brain is silly and wants to look for the less trodden paths, to see if there might be something cool hidden there. In other words, maybe there are other ways to do things that i like better, even if they may be less effective at getting me from A to B. If not, well, i'll happily take the trodden path to victory. :U

Indeedy, some mighty fine skethching going on, hopefully you continue working on some of those to flesh them out a bit more :D
Also keep up the fruits shook, they're integral to a healthy body! But do keep in mind that stuff with a smooth skin is usually shiny with a nice specular highlight somewhere, the lemon and orange are pretty damn nicely done tho :)

Anyways, time for me to finally post something here again, something that wasn't a quick piece or study but rather an evening of painting. Spread out over three months (with a few hours at the start and then everything else today xd), but an evening nonetheless.

This was for personal use as a visual reference and data set, but my friends liked it well enough. Figured I'd share it. All the photos are to scale with one another, as are all the tiny colored pixel planets and moons (the ones at the top, or near the data where the arrows are pointing). There's no scale Sun photo because reasons; specifically, look at the pixel-scale circles at the top, then look at the photo of Jupiter. Alternatively, Earth is to Jupiter as Jupiter is to the Sun.

I don't see what's so shitty about it. My only gripe is that you went ahead and included that circle in place of a sun photo, which to me suggests that it should be to scale (when it clearly isn't).

Practice your lines more, they're quite wobbly. Either practice freehanding more or have the patience to use a ruler. The other thing is that you don't have a single vanishing point. Which is interesting because it appears that you know what a vanishing point is, and yet-

His arms are pretty small and look like they bend in a weird place. His pose is pretty odd for riding a horse. It looks like he's sitting on its neck or something.

Also, his armour is generally pretty weird. It's quite big, and the way it's depicted he wouldn't really be able to walk, bend, or move his arms properly.

I've found that doing free hand doesn't help to much, and using a ruler is generally not something you want need to use. Any other ideas? Or is 'practice more' the best solution here?

I've been doing similar, so I might try something to show how good/bad I am.
Nothing wrong with using a ruler, but if you don't want to, then yes, 'practice more' it is. Rulers are BY FAR the best tool for making straight lines, just like how a compass is the best tool for making perfect circles. Personally i don't use a ruler simply because i'm too lazy. :v

Yeah his arms are weird and too small, considering they're armored. I drew them like three times over one another (this is in pen, in case it wasn't obvious) because I was concentrating on getting that rifle in the right place. He's standing in the saddle in order to shoot over his shoulder, which is why he looks so high up, and why he looks so tall.

Spoiler: If this guy stood up, his crotch would be approximately at the same height as the horse's head. (click to show/hide)
But his horse is also large, for a horse. If anything, the stirrups I drew are in the wrong place, but there was no changing the legs once I'd drawn them.

Armor tends to make people look big, since it's layered on top of a person body. He's got knee joints, and I drew like three arms over one another until I finally settled on a position of the arm so there was no space left to draw anything else, but other than elbow and shoulder joints I'm not sure what else you expected to see.

Quote from: The Moonlit Shadow on July 09, 2016, 07:46:59 am
I think the forelegs of the horse should be bigger, as they're only sight bigger than the hind legs. Horses are pretty long, y'know?

They're neck is also pretty long, so etc.
My proportions according to this image aren't that far off.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
But that horse's legs are closer together since it's mid-gait, I think, so fair enough.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Arx on July 09, 2016, 01:55:33 pm
If he's standing, it's okay. He still looks a little odd, like he might just go over when he fires, but that might just be me.

As for the armour: it looks like if he tries to lift his legs or bend over, the cuisses will lock against his breastplate. Also, his breastplate is all one piece down to the hips, so he can't bend at the waist. Similarly, if he tries to raise his arms above flat, his breastplate will catch his arms.

In large part, you've drawn it all as being pretty chunky, where armour generally fits pretty tightly. The breastplate and greaves, for instance, should track the body shape very closely. I won't quibble too much about precise armour shapes, since I'm pretty neurotic about those but most people don't care. :P

That's a pretty good horse, though.

Oh I see. Cuisses need to end lower on the thigh, and breastplates need to end higher on the belly. You know I was staring at an armored skirt before I started drawing, intending to draw that, and then... Didn't. Fair enough. I accept the criticism.

That looks really fucking cool. How do you even go about making textures for 3D models? It's something I've been interesting in learning about for a while.

Post by: Nirur Torir on July 11, 2016, 05:40:54 pm
Aighuh! The all the triangles! They kill me!

Not sure how relevant this is on minimal-poly models: best practice is to use squares as much as possible. They bend nicer on animations, allow loop cuts (Ctrl-R) which are actually pretty useful, and work better with the subdivsurface modifier.

The Mark Seams button. Use it before unwrapping and learn to love it. Ctrl-E > Mark Seam along the selected edges.

Play around with having two or three loops on each joint, instead of just one. Especially at those shoulders. Those are going to deform the entire torso when animated.

Finally, you probably already noticed, but the animal's ears aren't going to be textured right unless you double their faces. Most things don't like double-faced faces and leave one completely transparent.

If have any Blender questions, feel free to PM me. I'm not an expert or anything, but I've played with it enough that I can generally make it do what I want.

Are you trying to retexture an existing model, or texture your own?
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Solifuge on July 11, 2016, 06:16:20 pm
Thanks, Guninanrunin! I'm not sure what specifically you want to do with texturing, but if you want to get into 3D modeling, try Blender. It's what I've always used; it's free, cross-platform, fairly well-documented, and powerful.

Textures are just regular 2D images in any 2D format, generally made in a paint program. When you're doing the actual 3D model, you set texture coordinates for each vertex called UVs, which match bits of that 2D image to different faces of the mesh. If you're retexturing an existing mesh, like you might when making a mod for something, it's as simple as painting over the old texture. Think Minecraft Skins.


Nirur Torir, I tried to stick to Quads in my later models, but I still use 3 Tris to interface between quads of 2 different resolutions (like going from torso to leg on the character model). Also, using Envelope-Based Mesh Deformation is producing some ugly results with Low Poly, but I'm going to try weighting each vert manually, to hopefully keep stuff from deforming badly.

Thanks for the offer too; I might hit you up with procedural questions some time!

This just in, IINL has no idea how to make clothes that look interesting and just drapes his characters in random shapes.

It's supposed to be a leather breastplate sort of thing over a tight-fitting tunic. I was going for a Korra water tribe-esque look. It looks like I just globbed play-doh on the model, even before I put the preliminary materials on. I do intend to texture it, but I'm not sure that texturing it would make it look any better.

It looks very smooth and shiny - too much so - both tunic and breastplate, and breastplate especially.
If it's leather, it should probably have a texture.
The shape as well, conforming to the body shape like that, doesn't look rigid (And if it was, it seems like she'd have a hell of a time putting the thing on) which doesn't help it seem like a breastplate, either. It should probably have straps and buckles if you want it to be wearable.

Standard fantasy breastplate shape is also in full effect, but eh. Fantasy stuff is fantasy.

The tunic doesn't seem a natural colour, either - not something they'd have with modern dyes.
It should also probably go over her shoulders and up closer to her armpits, if not over the top part of her upper arm.
A tunic isn't a strapless dress.

I think the breastplate might go. It was the first thing I thought of to distinguish the outfit from Link's (there's going to be pants/tights under the tunic as well, and elf ears makes one too many similarities) but it's really kind of stupid; if you're going to wear armor, why would you only wear a single not-very-strong piece of leather?

What's your goal with this character? If you're designing this character you might try sketching her first to try out some ideas until you're sure of what you want.

If you drop the shoulder parts, add shoulders to the tunic, and throw on vambraces the breastplate will look more sensible and less isolated without changing the aesthetic too much.

I was thinking "medieval labcoat". So the breastplate would prevent glass from cutting vital bits (mostly heart and lungs) if a beaker exploded, and the tunic was originally a robe with a section that buttoned over, but I couldn't think of how to do that without making it look too much like a modern garment.

I'm awful at drawing clothes, so alot of the conceptualizing for this happened with making different patterns and using Blender's cloth simulator to drape them over the model.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The shoulders/chest aren't intentionally left white, that's just where I decided to call it quits for tonight. I'm not happy with the leather bits, but that's the best of five attempts and I'm sick of picking out leather textures to use as brushes. Besides, I will remodel it to add some belts and buckles as Gunin suggested, it'll add some much-needed interesting detail.

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

If you want medieval labcoat, why not a blacksmith's apron and some long-sleeved gloves?

Probably she'd wear a longer robe, something that'd cover her legs for more protection.
A leather apron would work, yeah, along with gloves.
If you look at paintings of alchemists, generally they're just wearing, well, clothes.
No need for armour in a lab.

In my opinion, the flashlight man seems a little out of place. It feels like he's drawn with a different artstyle. I think you need to give him an outline. It would also help to draw lines on the hat as well to better convey depth. Otherwise though, it's very impressive.

Adobe AfterEffects. I can keyframe the paths of vector shapes (including layer masks) with it, but it's designed for general video editing/special effects, so it takes a bit to render things. Plus, it can't render directly to GIF, so I have to convert the video in Photoshop (which takes even longer).

You kind of have to just troll around until you find someone whose art style you like, then see if they're doing commissions. Usually they say so right on their main profile area, either in the profile description or in a journal post.

Definitely getting the Dark Souls vibe from the last one, although it strikes me that that's a very unpleasant angle for a neck to be twisted at, even for an undead. :v
Anyhoo, you're actually asking for criticism, so LET'S GET THIS SHOW ROLLIN'

Mr. Overgrizzle is actually pretty good, but there are a few things that need mentioning:
- His head is somewhat slanted to the right
- Eyes too large for a realistic drawing (not tremendously so though)
- He needs a brow ridge to go with the eyebrows (which would also require the nose bridge to stick out a little further)

casul strole:
- Neck is twisted at an ouch-tier angle (people RARELY turn their heads that much without also twisting the upper body)
- Upper body and legs are at an odd angle to each other
- peg legs but you know that (too much perspective applied, the legs really aren't that far away)
+ ... I love the armor design :v

dark strolls:
- As mentioned, painful head angle
- Perspective is all over the place; the hollow's chest is viewed directly from the front, while everything else alludes to a higher point of view, even things that are above said chest
- That is one short spear (the overall angle of it makes it look like it's pointing almost straight down)
- Leaning tower of Lordran in the background
- Leaning hollow of probably-going-to-fall-over due to center of mass being outside base of support
- LITTLE BABY FEET

I'd draw a few examples, but sadly my tablet here doesn't really agree with Krita. If you want, i can draw the few examples once i get to my laptop, but if you don't care then i'll just... Not do that. :v

HMHM, that's a pretty neat idea! I should try that too and try to not inadvertently put two hours into it. :v
But meanwhile, 'BOUT THEM LEGS, ARX:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You need not taper them so much. In most situations where you'd see significant tapering of the legs, there's also going to be foreshortening involved, along with corresponding widening of the upper body. Also, remember that adult feet are usually close to... Well, one foot in length (notably longer than a flat hand, but hardly any wider), since we'd otherwise tip forwards or backwards too easily.

also BROW RIDGE AND POKING STICK

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Brow ridge is basically just that little bit missing, spear may require slight explanation: Basically, this is where your perspective/foreshortening skills get to shine. It gets extra tricky if the spear handle is also tapered, in which case you might need to bring out more circles and perspective lines to nail it. Start with a straight cylinder, widen/narrow the ends as necessary, and interpolate between them (with a ruler if need be, ain't no shame in using those for straight lines).

So uh, i hope this helps, but in any case it at least helped me take another step out of my (f)art drought. :v

I would suggest to practice perspective if you go into landscapes, just knowing how objects should be placed in a scene and where the horizon is helps a lot.
There's a tutorial done by fox-orian that gives a nice basic tutorial to perspective, link here (http://fox-orian.deviantart.com/art/Perspective-Composition-Pt-1-118068853).

Did some 3d modeling today, first time ever succeeding in doing so.

I get the feeling you've got problems visualizing 3d objects and space as flat imagery.

Imaginary vanishing point might help.

Interesting, tell me more?

DS3 Fire Keeper, drawn younger. Contrast and shading are a little messed up because the scanner washed it out horribly and I struggle to correct it accurately. :/

It's not the greatest*, but drawing it was pretty good for me I think, in terms of practicing things and fixing mistakes.

*I think her head is too tall, not the happiest with the facial shape, her hair is pretty bad where it hangs over her mask. Also clothes, mang.

Well i guess i can say taking that course in art history wasn't a total waste.

Using vanishing points in drawing people is in theory pretty simple, you pick a point somewhere behind the person, and imagine the lines of the persons volume extend out towards the point. It helps to give depth to flat drawings, some practice with perspective drawing should help anyone improve their art in many formats.

A good examination of Renaissance art, as well as some practice would be what i suggest if you with to draw more realistic representations.

Try drawing and shading ordinary shapes with a centralized vanishing point; sphere, cylinder, and box in differing orientations. Alternatively you could try drawing more complicated shapes with more aggressive shadows, another approach to adding depth is giving a more realistic shadow cast, for practice, i'd suggest getting a bright light (flashlight if possible) and a mirror and simple see how the shadow casts on your face with different lighting, and sketch it.

You must also not be discouraged, anyone can learn how to draw, but not everyone can be a great artist.

Post by: March on July 29, 2016, 05:19:54 pm
Only if your looking at a flat front side of a box.

Everything that isn't straight up and down left and right is angled toward or away from the vanishing point, unless it has a particular reason not to.

Your perspective is kind of weird there. It's not unreadable or anything, but it looks strange because the units are from 3/4 / sideways (in the case of the tanks) perspective while the ground is strict hawk's-eye. Also, as a result of this, the fence (?) bears a more than passing resemblance to a chalk line somebody drew on the ground, and the oil barrels look more like diamond-shaped stone tiling than oil barrels :v

I was going for something between a Betelgeusian from Space Dandy and Toothless, but I think that the latter is a bit too apparent and the former doesn't really stand out at the moment. The main thing I'm quibling with is how to draw the ears and the mouth, and maybe a bit on the posture.

Your clouds look like their all glitched out in the first two pictures. It would be a really neat effect in a setting like The Matrix. If you're doing this again, please do so with more glitched clouds, and more extreme terrain, like curved obelisks instead of gently rolling hills. Maybe some lightning or something.

I'm running a gtx 960, and so far Verve has been running smoothly, though I've been painting in sizes less than 2000 x 2000 pixels.

Fair enough, the 3d aspect is bad and I was a bit sloppy with the painting. This certainly something that as an artist I fall short, that being I tend to be a bit messy with most of my art. Also, I have a lot of inexperience, and I do not have any idea on how to make proper landscapes in blender :P.
I only painted over the mountains because I rendered the images of the landscapes first, I went back and looked at Verve there is a masking tool that allows you to mask off parts of the painting. But, I was unaware of that option when I did these pieces.
For the flat shading of the rendered 3d landscape, I just really liked the look of it, though it's more of just not using blender enough that I did not consider using smooth shading.

As for glitching clouds, that is a aesthetic I might try to do, these paintings of cloud were studies from references that I had. Which makes it interesting to interpret them that way.

Also, thanks for the critique, and I'll try to implement your ideas the next time I do something like this.

Re: Hands

One thing to keep in mind is proportions. Unless you're going stylized, remember that a flat hand is about as long as the person's face is tall, and (aside from the middle fingers) the palm is about 60% of the length and the fingers 40%.

Also, the thumb runs roughly the length of the palm, with the base being about 1/2 the length of the palm (but not quite distinct from it) and the two segments that are distinct and stick out being about 1/4th each

So, I made a map thing. Well, four possible variations of a map thing (http://imgur.com/a/te0Mi). Not sure which one I prefer just yet.
The colors of the landmass are best by a good margin in the last version, but the clouds are in the way. They do look pretty nice over the ocean, though.

Hmm... That was not the response I expected at all. I'm really conflicted now, on how I'm going to proceed with this thing.  ::)

Hmm, i don't know if there's a nice way to put it, so let me put it like this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

TOO MANY INTERSECTIONS, ideally all the lines should cross at one point. :I
The horizontal line along the top of the couch was my original bid at a horizon (based on the floor and window on the right), but... Yeah, i think the image speaks for itself (but if you want a better explanation, i shall provide).
THAT BEING SAID, that is overall a very good usage of gradients. My biggest beef here is that the pillows and arm rests of the couch look more like cylinders than rounded boxes, though of course, a sufficiently rounded box seen from the side is pretty much indistinguishable from a cylinder. This could probably also be helped by employing a bit of delicious perspective to it, since it really doesn't take much for our brains to go like "YO THAT HAS DEPTH, IT'S NOT A FLAT THING". You don't have to nail it perfectly outside of really fine art, i don't have the patience for that myself either, but if the lines all converge in roughly the same area(s, if using 2- or 3-point perspective), that's a pretty good start.

not sure if should torture for godlike art or cheer up in order to not be a terrible person

In any case, you're understating your own ability, because realistic-looking faces are NOT easy to pull off. Making something that registers as a face is utterly trivial (for people without impaired facial recognition) due to our hardcoding (as a lazy man looking to test the limits of leeway i can confirm that i have found a LOT of leeway here), but making something that actually is a human face without interpretation is something else entirely. Honestly though, i wouldn't say i'm overly surprised to see this level of quality from you, because i've seen your attention to detail in action before. :v

Perspective snip.

You've used a significantly higher angle than Hugo did. I think his (lack of) perspective is acceptable in the style, since it doesn't detract from the appearance and its effect would be subtle the way it's set up.

Also, Hugo, I like the gradient. I think they liven it up really nicely.

Far from the worst! It's proportioned fairly decently, except that as noted the legs should probably be a bit longer. It catches most people - they're longer than they seem.

For practicing drawing people, I highly recommend posemaniacs.com and their 30 second sketches. It's incredibly good for learning how to sketch out a reasonably accurate figure quickly, and I find that doing a bunch of low-quality sketches is much more helpful than doing one sketch that takes far longer but looks better.

Don't be discouraged if you a) don't finish the sketch or b) think it looks nothing like the original. Just keep grinding and you will eventually git gud.

Not sure what you were going for, but within the constraints of a Paint-like medium it's decent! Presumably you are aware that faces aren't usually that flat. :P

Not generally super good at critiquing comic styles, but Merc's face would probably have benefited disproportionately (compared to the rest of the image) from some clean-up.

Yep, and the person in your sketch is significantly taller than Hugo's, which is why your angle is too high. Your perspective is otherwise correct, though.

Also do note that in a stylized picture like that, choosing not to use much perspective is perfectly valid and if you ask me enhances the work.

Post by: Sean Mirrsen on August 23, 2016, 07:53:03 am
I stash my art on Dropbox, mostly. I don't post my drawings much, for several reasons.

One, about 95-99% of everything I draw is sketches. Not all of them are as well-done as those I posted above.
Spoiler: Examples (click to show/hide)

Two, about 90-95% of everything I've ever drawn before, is inappropriate to post most anywhere for one reason or another.
One such reason is because it's ponies. Most of the relatively well-made, especially full-color stuff is ponies.
Spoiler: Examples (click to show/hide)

Another reason is because it's just inappropriate to post anywhere outside of very private conversations and particular websites.
Spoiler: Examples (click to show/hide)

And three, some things I draw are just too silly for me to just dump them on people.
Spoiler: Examples (click to show/hide)

In summation, just about everything I draw is fairly niche and not likely to be universally accepted, not to mention a lot of it is in poor quality and overall I just don't draw that often. Combined it all just makes finding the "regular" sort of art in my archives, that I can post just anywhere, rather hard. A lot of it was already posted where it was relevant (i.e. the Einteinan Roulette threads).

Not bad for a first attempt, actually! Foreshortening is one of those things that are frequently cited to be on par with hands in terms of frustration, and well, foreshortened hands are literally satan. :v
ANYWAYS, actual criticismy things: The "shortening" part is decent, but the effects of perspective need to be exaggerated a bit more. Also, i'm not sure which way the front hand is facing; the pose of the hand says palm inwards, but the thumb position says the opposite. Also also, legs are too straight, gotta loosen up those knees a bit. :P

also i tried doodling some foreshortening too and uhhhhhhhh

I would say it's because the anatomical dimensions of the head are askew. There are a couple of steps to fixing it. 1.) give the face some depth, humans kinda just assume the head is round so when the face is flat it creates a little cognitive dissonance. 2.) Draw your circles. The head looks like it's coming out of the hair and it makes it seem like a mask over the true head. 3.) lower the ears. There should be a line between the top of the eyes and where the ears meet the skull. It's not bad, the elements are just disconnected.

Another season, another Ludum Dare. Did the 72-Hour Jam again. The theme was "Ancient Technology", and our Team's project was a Village Builder x Tower Defense hybrid based around the development of early technologies, and a special surprise for the ending. I did art, music, and a bit of code, but not much high-level Game Design this time around. LD also featured Delicious Yakisoba (only recorded here in proto-yaki form (https://twitter.com/Dahold/status/769339862285627396)), which is technically another thing I made I guess?

NOTE: There's a considerably more polished Post-Competition Version due out tomorrow afternoon, which includes the music and SFX.

It was a pretty good time! Looking forward to the next official one though; it's not the same without the judging. :3

His legs are too short (you want to aim for your people to be about seven heads high) and he's pretty tubular, but otherwise decent.

If your hand is cramping up you may be holding your pen oddly. It's not a problem I've experienced in the past, although I may just be lucky.

Is there any logic to which direction the redanger's anger beam comes from? I can dodge yellowanger's angry lasers and memorize the timing to bluefirin's blargs, but them beams are impossible to predict.

They basically just pick one of your sides at random, and will always sweep towards you. This is why i gave them a (relatively) wide and slow sweep, so you have a chance of reacting before it RAGES you. If you were actually supposed to survive, i'd make them a bit more predictable, of course. :v

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication", eh? Simple things keep cohesion better, they're easier to make and they're easier to look at, they convey emotion better and so on. I actually think you're way better than me because I literally can't make simple things. I am unable to make simple drawings, all I make is detailed, sometimes overly, which causes detail overload which causes fuck-ups.

To put it in context - I spent maybe 30-45 minutes on this. Way too long for that quality, honestly, though for my defence I must say that at least 20 minutes of that would be searching for references.

Thing is, though, my drawings being relatively undetailed doesn't stem from an acutely developed sense of "less is more", but rather from profound laziness and an inability to detail heavily even if i tried (... although this may also be because i generally don't use references).

Depends. Sometimes I'm doing something for months (I started making an Wh40k Battleship around the end of June or something, still haven't finished it), sometimes it takes few minutes.

Eh, references are mostly ideas. The Arbite is mostly a mix between Wh40k stuff (chestplate, coat (http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/f/f8/Arbitrator_b%26w.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130307214912), pauldron, club (I also wanted to make it more like a cattle prod, but eh)  (http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/7/72/Arbitrator.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120122102702)and some fur capes (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/3d/93/e6/3d93e62e0b7fa74733f80759f330ab97.jpg)) and more realistic actual riot armour (https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/police-bodies-riot-gear-64461.jpg) and not so over-the-fucking-top proportions (PAULDRONS). I also wanted some more like Soviet-style (http://www.rusmilitary.com/images/maska_helmet.jpg) face-plate visor, because I honestly find the idea of permanetnly reducing visibility in helmet (like canon Arbites do) to a tiny fucking slit a bit retarded, even the Judges did it better.

As for the cavalrymen, I guess I got it pretty accurate. (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/ac/d3/75/acd375dfa86cef900898b6ecb5f4df38.jpg)

It's just a bunch of little things. Perspective is a little off, but generally headed very much in the right direction. Shading seems to need some workshopping. Step one: do less. There's so much graphite on the page it's a little overwhelming. Instead of trying to "color in" everything, only really shade the highlights. For the mountains/rocks/towers only shade the parts that sun isn't shining on directly, and for the grass only give us he edges and a few patches in between--our brains will fill in the rest. That pillar could be made much larger... It almost throws off the distance because of it's similarity to the towers in the distance--it's also fallen at a somewhere odd angle. But like I said, everything is heading in the right direction. Looking quite good obviously, just a case of practicing!

I was pretty sure Barkley was actually written in RPGMaker, at least at first.

The peeps behind Tales of Games were online friends, from a now-defunct forum called Gaming World. Basically every member had a cool and/or shitty RPGMaker project, and a lot of the in-jokes in Barkley were related to other members, and discussion threads on there.

It was a very cynical place, but there were (https://twitter.com/brandonabley) a lot of cool and (https://twitter.com/cactusquid) weird indies who (https://twitter.com/TalesOfGames) got their start there (https://twitter.com/lazrool).

In view of the very valid criticism I received a while ago, I paid extra attention to form and consistency of perspective. More criticism is always welcome and appreciated.

I'm decently happy with it as it stands. I think the jaw could use some work and overall it would benefit from me figuring out how to get crisp lines in charcoal, but otherwise it's pretty okay.

I like the way you shaded light on the crown, and on the greebly bits on the shoulders and all that. The metallic shine and shadow is great! The perspective looks pretty solid too, excepting that the frog / clasp on the neckpiece and the nostrils look kinda skewed, and the teeth toward the receding half of the jaw flatten out horizontally instead of curving upward slightly. Feel the shape of your own jaw from left to right; remember that the jaw projects forward in a curve, and human teeth are arranged in an arc within the mouth! Anatomy is tricky and complicated, but it's a good skill to practice when drawing living/unliving things.

Only other critique I've got is that skeletal structures (skulls and such) tend to have fairly sharp edges. The forms of the skull look really smooth; almost like gross corpsified skin stretched over a skeleton; it's a great look, but I'm not sure that was the intended look.

Thanks a ton for sharing this! I like it a lot.

Valid points. Yeah, the jaw is a little off. I should know, I studied biology in high school and anatomy is a subject of significant interest to me. :P It's pretty much the one thing that I don't conceptually struggle with in art. I just mess up the implementation a fair bit...

Solid frog. Working digitally, don't be afraid to go ahead and make use of the fact that you can zoom in to get the little details like toes right. I like what you've done with the shading, and it's fine as it stands, but it's probably also worth having a look at getting a little bit of a rougher texture. Your frog has a very shiny, smooth texture, where the reference is just a tiiiny bit rough. Not a big thing.

It's just missing the last frame, where the ball resembles a pancake.

Teacher said the ball should rise slower than it falls, so I'm guessing it's losing momentum. It squishes less as it rises compared to as it falls anyways, since it's slower.

Post by: Shook on September 19, 2016, 02:03:02 pm
It ends up at the exact same height, it's not losing momentum. :v (if it did, it'd be bouncing lower and lower)
Math and the laws of physics say that for something to reach the same height as it was dropped from, the initial upwards velocity must be the same as the downwards velocity at impact (though this assumes no air resistance; if that's factored in, it actually needs to bounce back faster). Many games do bend the laws of physics when it comes to jumping and falling, though this is mostly in order to be able to give the player more control, and even then, the developers usually do a good job of masking it. But, unless you've capped the velocity, you'll very rarely need that kind of control for inanimate objects.

Mhm, very nice! Slower bounce than i'd make, but it looks good. The only problem is that the ball seems to lose volume as it flattens, or at least doesn't quite spread out enough to compensate for the massive squish. One could maaaaaaaybe also argue that it hangs a bit too long in the air, but honestly, that just gives it a nice cartoony vibe.

also hi guys i made a ceramic

It's actually a piece of what was supposed to be a bowl that's been flipped upside down, but the bowl broke apart during drying, and the other major piece hasn't been burned yet. Considering how little effort i spent on glazing this thing (read: two dips and two brush globs), i actually really like how it looks. The glazing certainly came out better than my Eldritch BowlTM (yes i will also photo this soon), which is just brown. Gotta love that cobalt blue. :v

It's anatomically mostly fine, but the flat box for a neck/torso connection looks a little odd to me. Also, his feet are pointed a bit too far away from the center. It's not comfortable to stand like that.
It could use more contrast in the colors, especially around the face and neck area, and where the plate meets the chain.
The pose is boring.
He needs armaments, unless he's going to try grappling in platemail.
The shield symbol being there looks odd to me.

Woah now, we barely covered how to colour an object. I think that glowy bits are a bit beyond me at the moment. It also must be completed with only the extrude tool, so greebs will be a bit tough.

Nice hollow though. Creepy.

I know I posted drawabox in this thread or a similar one last september when I first started doing their exercises.

Here's some more of my bookmarks, then.

Everything you could possibly want to know about color theory. (http://www.huevaluechroma.com/)
Posemaniacs (http://www.posemaniacs.com/) for a 3-d musculature pose reference library database collection.
Pixelovely, figure drawing reference and more. (http://artists.pixelovely.com/) Since it's figure drawing, there's nekkid people here. so check it after work or whatever.
John Muir Laws (http://www.johnmuirlaws.com/) has a lot of resources about nature sketching and that kind of thing. I've only seen one of his videos but I like his lecture style.

Youtube: Sycra, Proko, Drawing with Jazza, Mark Crilley. Mink's Tutorials aren't bad for some fundamental stuff, but he's fairly new at making vids so there's not a huge selection yet.

"Ctrl + Paint" for digital painting resources, mostly focused on photoshop.

There's also the LearnArt, LearnToDraw, and DigitalPainting subreddits. I'm also subbed to Doodles, Drawing, and some others that escape me at the moment. Don't bother with /r/Art, they're pretentious morons and/or complete hacks there.

I oughta make the drawabox deal too, but on the other hand, i could also keep being a pretentious fool who thinks he's doing better on his own.

HMMMMMMMMMMM

The latter sounds much more reasonable to me, i lack the patience to go through what is essentially a training regimen that undoubtably works. :v
In my own defense though, i don't draw for improvement as much as i draw to have fun, and/or to prove that learning to draw doesn't have to be hard work. As long as i don't consider my drawings perfect, i'm pretty sure improvement will happen on its own. :P

Aha, i see you're starting to draw heads more evenly! Das goot, i like it. Bro-tip though: Flip your drawing horizontally from time to time. You'll likely see that it's lopsided/skewed. My drawings tends to be MASSIVELY lopsided/skewed, and i have no fucking idea why it happens, though it might be related to the inherent difficulty of drawing an even circle on a tablet. :I

Anyways, a few things: Teeth are too unevenly sized, and you've put too thick a line in between them. Either make it a complete gap, or a subtly hinted line. I was actually surprised to learn that you only barely need to draw a line between close-set teeth. Also note that they start curving inwards quite a bit at the canines, so they'll appear much more narrow towards the sides of the mouth. The way you've set them up, they basically look like they're set along a line. Also, the lips are probably too clearly defined; for a shriveled up hollow, they'd probably be as prune-like as the rest of the face, and would likely be hard to pinpoint exactly beyond "around mouth hole".

... apparently only mouth related things but oh well

I am slightly bothered by the helmet not being set completely straight on the head, but this being a mindless hollow... Well, wouldn't put it past them. :v

edit: Oh yeah also thanks for your kind words re: boan snek guise! I decided to give it some shading and apply that nifty pencil rubby thing i have, and well...

The one on the left is bigger, yes. One of the mistakes I did know about but couldn't be bothered to fix. I get to a point where I'd rather stop chasing perfection, to explain why I leave things unfixed.

Heeey, that'sa pretty goood! The only thing that's throwing me off a bit with it is the superstructure underneath the walkway on the left - they should get closer together as they go farther, which they are a bit, but not as dramatically as they should (I think). Also, since the clocktower is big and far away, it should be perspective'd too, but to a different vanishing point - the sides should slope inwards as they get closer to the top, because the top is farther from the viewer than the base.

Overall though, I think it looks pretty convincing!

Spoiler: Portrait (click to show/hide)

There are almost infinite mistakes here, most of them related to proportion, so whilst pointing those out is appreciated I'd rather have criticism on other features. :v
To be honest your proportion is not too terrible, since the face is four nose-lengths high and five eye-widths wide ( thats the average I've noticed, you can play around and adjust to make a face look different). But, there are other problems that make the portrait look ehh, the first onei s using black to define your shadows. Stop using black/gray for the shadows, as what you are indicating is that face is near only one direct  powerful local light source, at night next to a lamp. But, if he's outside, the face rarely has pure black shadows rather they are much lighter because there is  reflected light bouncing off and the sun isn't directly next to you. Basically shrink your value range, do not use pure black as the shadows, rather use a slightly darker color for the skin color.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Another thing I noticed is that your form of the face, in particular the eyes and ears are poor.  Overall the shape of the eyes are ok, they don't look too far off from normal eyes, it's just the symmetry that's bugging me. Since I myself struggle with symmetry, one piece of advise that's common (that I know) is to try to flip your canvas horizontally if you don't notice any symmetry errors off the bat, and be more aware the need to draw symmetric facial features. As for the ears, the problem their is just not indicating the inter forms of the ear.
Below is just some things I found that might be helpful plus a bit on how I construction faces.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The last thing is that I feel that you may be jumping too far trying to paint faces while you don't know enough art fundamentals. I suggest, instead of trying to make colored paintings of faces, to draw or paint in grayscale. Learn form/construction, perspective, anatomy, gesture, composition, values and color theory and then try to paint faces in color. Art fundamentals are vitally important to making good drawings/paintings because they are kind of tools to constructing realistic looking pieces of art, and learning them is more productive then trying to force your way to good art through repetition ( though practice is still critical too). Sycra and Ctrl+ paint are good sources of how to improve fundamentals, and they both offer good advise for free.


Hopefully this helps, I have to say that I too have a lot to learn, especially about fundamentals, and just keep on learning/drawing :> we'll all get better overtime.

I love it ;~; like how I'm loving the everything posted lately. In a similar note, this one very much reminds me of the details I've tried in making reptilian-like mounts in worldbuilding then fumbling in textual description. Back to this note: I loooooove thiiiiiis all!
Although none of those four best friends got to me :P

Also, is that 5 appendages I see? Like, the arm to the left holding the bow (right in our view)? I don't see symmetry on the right side. ._.;

Yay, the six-legged reptile returns. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=98415.msg7146038#msg7146038)

It looks like the secondary forelimbs rest along the main ones, likely for more running/jumping power .. It does look like it's missing in that picture, unless maybe it's crossed under his torso for more protection.

I'd like to see a sketch of how he would use the bow. It seems like it would be awkward with the shoulders further back.

There is an eternal sort of problem with drawing this design, which is that I really like how the body looks from the side, and having the other arm out necessitates that I obscure parts of it. It does have the two arms, but they are, by design, normally hidden under the faux-wing covers. You can see the second arm's shoulder just above and behind the primary forelimb's shoulderplate, it has a small armor plate with a dark dot in the middle (an external camera) on it.

I might draw a version of this with the second arm out, or maybe the faux wings open slightly to show where it is.

(edit: ninja!)

edit2: There's this picture (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4152380/Skekches/007_c1..png) of an Artee, the... less military version of the same design, in about the only circumstance when drawing both arms out seems natural. Yes, Artee does sleep sometimes. The military Artax, not so much. :P

The arms are relatively long, there is a considerable amount of travel in the shoulders, and the bow is a compound one, meaning you only need full strength to draw it first, and then you can aim easily. It does suffer severely from the "horseback archery" problem, where it can only aim in the half-arc of the arm that holds the bow, but thankfully both Artax and the bow are ambidextrous, and standing sideways to the target is not typically a problem.

I'm not even going to pretend that it makes sense to have a talking sword-wielding snake with a helmet that SOMEHOW doesn't fall off, but hey, i grew up on Disney and a whole host of other cartoons, "sense" is veeeeeeery relative in that context. :P

The composition it's really busy; there's a lot to look at, but your eyes don't know where to go to find new or important features. Some unifying curves or contours following many objects, maybe a more consistent color scheme for the treeline, or some negative space to break up the high density of objects, might help?

Love the scene and the feel, the colors, and the trees with the crystalline dangly bits. Looking really good there!

I dunno; I like the way it looks now. The wolf catches the eye, and the road leads it up past the dead tree to the small building in the distance. It's sparse, which gives it a very open and bleak feel, like the tail end of winter in a famine year. Could maybe use a few more tiny details, but overall I think the monochromatic sparseness sells it. I'm fine with works that are all mood =D

My only real issue with the wolf drawing is that the shack is way off to one side and it makes everything feel a little unbalanced to me - but I'm certainly no pro or anything.

I stand by larger value range for depth though. At least really dark shadows.

Much smoother than the original. I've been staring at it for a while til it hit me: making turns like that usually requires banking. Probably not worth redoing now, just something to keep in mind for next time. I dig the model and animation, though, nice work.

It does bank. It's just a really bad video angle. I can't even change it; teacher wants it there, and the file we were given to start from has everything but the dragon completely locked so we can't change it by accident.

The model's not mine, but I rigged the animation. It's a bit hard to see, but the dragon's head turns as it banks. The towers are also the exact same size; they are complete duplicates. The angle is really weird.

And I just noticed the gif/YouTube cut off the last few frames. Again. I'm gonna start padding these more. No wonder you can't see the banking: the first occurs behind the further tower, and the last is partially gone.

But hey, thanks! I really don't think i actually excel at any of those, and i'm really fucking new at composing. You should've heard how shitty it was before i decided to take a turn for the ambient, the guest teacher was almost audibly thinking long and hard about finding something nice to say about it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MW2Da0KfWNU
Kinda boring. At that flap speed, each flap should reverberate through the body, and should be felt in its movement path.

The dragon has very few joints, just wing elbows, shoulders, tail, and head, and the flight path is premade so we can't change it. It really should have some up/down movement, but nothing us students can do about it.

Everything but the dragon's joints are locked to prevent us from messing with it.

Point of constructive criticism: It's quite noisy, which (counterintuitively) makes it harder to pick out both the details and the grander structure. Might be improved by using lighter lines in some places, or using a few more shades of colours that come up a lot.

Otherwise I like it. It's pretty darn good, for all your self-deprecation. :P

Don't let that discourage you. Your stuff is good as well, it just aims for a more realist style. Your linework is nice, you just need to practice your coloring a bit, using simpler palletes of analogous colors and a single contrasting color. AKA, color theory stuff (http://www.tigercolor.com/color-lab/color-theory/color-harmonies.html).

Anyhow, sorry

The spider makes it hard to see the stuff going on in the middle easily. The lunging girl is a bit cluttered by it.

Also the dark background bit isn't in a good place for a dark bit, kinda makes the dark wing bits less powerful.

There's a lot of ways you can make the foreground stand out.

Tone, level of detail, color contrast, things like that. Ideally you'd want the background to be more muted in one of those. Were you to color it, I'd suggest vibrant, saturated colors for the girl's wings and the guy's carapace, with more muted browns and grays for the background.

As it is, though, each individual element aside from staff guy's freaky hindleg looks good. Just think about contrast in tone or detail for the next one.

Post by: Parsely on November 04, 2016, 08:15:08 pm
The reason the imagery looks jumbled is because lines are intersecting, which makes your brain want to connect them into one shape. Plus similar shapes and shades between the foreground and background can make them want to blend together.

You can try thickening the outlines of the characters who are in the foreground.

I wish I could tell you. I'm rubbish with anything but ink in traditional media. There should, in theory, be a way to blend colors with them like anything else, but I've only done color digitally so far. Maybe when I have more disposable income.

I've heard Strathmore has a lot of videos about it on youtube if you can tolerate their bias towards their own brand of paper.

Nothing fundamentally wrong with colouring pencils. They're not my favourite, but you can do great things with them. Just make sure to use artist-grade pencils not preschool-grade pencils. :P

Your composition is messy and cluttered, to put it bluntly. Nearly everything is happening in almost the centre of the image, without any way of drawing the viewer's eye. Having a detailed background that doesn't clutter is an artform in itself, mainly revolving around tricking the viewer into not looking at it as much as the focus.

I'm too out of it right now to explain composition well, but if you search around a bit you should be able to find some decent stuff.

Out of curiosity, have you considered doing hybrid pieces? (Using a computer for some of it) Or at least playing with concepts for color/background/etc on a software medium before actually committing them to the immutable paper of reality.

It's a good way to do prototyping without redoing the original concept from scratch. I ask because I just spent the last 45 minutes tearing bits out of your image and fiddling with them.

Yeah, I like the idea of using the special sub-space physics that way. In this case, I thought of a rotating warp coil that creates friction and push against the weird magic sub-space. But I'll need to make it look less like an egg-beater. I'd also like to slap on some Kitchen rudders, and I can't believe how I didn't think of it earlier.

I actually really like the idea of using a propeller-esque system for warp travel. My thought was more along the lines of turbine blades extending from a bearing in the middle of the hull, but it strikes me as an interesting style in general.

Yeah, I like the idea of using the special sub-space physics that way. In this case, I thought of a rotating warp coil that creates friction and push against the weird magic sub-space. But I'll need to make it look less like an egg-beater. I'd also like to slap on some Kitchen rudders, and I can't believe how I didn't think of it earlier.

Of course, paddlewheels might cause issues, because having a big heavy wheel on one side of the ship renders it badly asymmetrical, which is really not allowable in spacecraft.

Afaik, it can be asymmetrical, but you still want your center of thrust to be aligned with your center of mass.

I was thinking of having two wheels, one port, one starboard. I think the oceanic paddle steamers had that arrangement, while the stern wheel was more useful for river steamers. Could be useful for shuttles, but the real-space conventional thrusters has to go somewhere, after all.

Oh yeah the coat is neat, it actually looks like leather. One thing though, try varying the hue and saturation a little when it comes to shading. I know i'm guilty of it myself, but going solely with a darker version of the main colour tends to look fairly dull. It's usually mostly a case of picking a less saturated colour which is in line with the ambient light for the shadow, but there's probably more to it than i know. :v

Sweet. For a first effort, I'm a fan of the low-poly look you have going on there. The colors aren't too bad...once you add a little more lighting I think that'll help mellow out things a bit.

The black borders around the grass is terrible, though. Is there any way you can fix that? Disabling anti-aliasing or modifying the texture in some way? I think you'd benefit from trying a low-resolution, low-poly look, too. It's an aesthetic I see a lot on TIGSource and I think it looks nice.

When the balls bounce onto the pinball surface it doesn't look like they've arrived there naturally. It looks like after they hit the bouncing surfaces that they're just kind of yanked there by some invisible force, rather than arcing ballistically like you'd expect. When they actually slide down towards the bumpers they seem to accelerate instantly as well. Maybe you could make them get up to speed a little more slowly? Even though real pinballs in pinball machines actually move pretty fast, when you're animating you might make things move a little more slowly than they really would to give the audience a chance to appreciate what's happening on the screen.

Looking forward to seeing more 3D stuff.

Thanks for replying.

I had been toying around with the animation graph editor in every way I could think of, but I haven't been able to fully smooth out the curve of the ball paths. It seems too angular, or yanking, as you said.

I will keep acceleration in mind in the future though.

If smoothing attempts end up like this I guess you should check the mesh for irregularities. like inverted normals and disconnected faces.

Post by: Antsan on November 30, 2016, 02:38:42 am
But shouldn't be smoothing leave the mesh topology unchanged? I mean, it seems like smoothing introduced holes, which can mean one of two things:
1. Smoothing doesn't preserve mesh topology, which seems kind of a really damn giant blunder for professional 3D software
2. The holes were there before, but not visible.
Or, more specifically: For smoothing to work right, you'd need to stitch all the disconnected parts of the castle together, so it becomes one continuous mesh.

Can't just merge it all, unfortunately. Teacher said that the junglegym has to be modular, with any part being capable of being removed.

He also said that even though it should be like a junglegym, it should be nothing like a junglegym. It should also be for children, but not for children because if they played there they would die. It should also be like a level in a videogame, but not like a level.

It's left the class rather confused. But the teacher likes what I've done so far, so that's okay. Only complaints were the rope not looking enough like rope, the bell not looking enough like a bell, and the range of colours should be much wider. I've addressed that all as much as I could.

Post by: Arx on November 30, 2016, 04:37:55 am
Can you selectively smooth? The main things that'd look better for a bit of rounding are the bell, the ropes, the chains, and the metal bars, just because those things are naturally smoother.

Nice! I rather like magpies, and I'd say that catches their spirit, in many ways. It does look quite sad and hungry, poor thing. I'm reaching for the bread bin already.

I've given Adventure Game Studio another go, for the first time in about a decade, and it is jogging along a lot better this time. It seems like a good place to learn the very basics of making a game.
Now, I have given that a try here and there. Coding and scripting is simply not something I am very good at, but one of those things I need to at least grasp to make a game. But, and this is quite embarrasing, even Game Maker is a bit over my head, at the moment. Not to mention, it is in an odd place, it seems, and it does not play very nice with Windows 10, at present. So, that will have to wait. I've also been rather frightened away by the community. If you do not already know what you are doing, it seems, then you have no business being there. Absolute coding babies like myself need not apply, so I shall learn how to crawl, before I make plans to walk. Still, AGS... It is like 2005 all over again. I rather feel like I've missed a train in life, but who knows? I'm learning.

Horse seems too small - AFAIK, horses are actually hueg. This is more donkey-sized compared to his torso and arm.

The horse is very much so out of scale. Even the head with the rest of the body, but the horse against the man as well. The man's arm is also weird. I think it looks too curved and like it has a hinge.

...the same place as the background, his other leg, and the horse's other front leg? Which is to say, I didn't draw it because it fell more-or-less outside the scope of the image. (because I'm lazy)

Two nitpicks, there's perspective everywhere (and it's pretty nice) but the ingots on the shelf, makes them pop out like an eyesore. Also the bottom of the shelf isn't lit properly, you could argue that it's too high for a strong light on the bottom but then you have the shield on the wall at the same height being nice and lit. Also something to consider, perspectives as extreme as this are usually achieved with a fish-eye lens, not saying this one is wrong or anything, just that it'd be much more effective of an image (also much harder to pull off properly) if done in fish-eye.

I think its because olms a very obscure animal. I only know about them because I lost one of my early forts to a giant olm.

Plus they are not exactly easy to anthropomorphize with their: long almost eyeless faces, tiny limbs and long length.
In fact, the hind legs and tail gave me a lot of trouble, and they dont look that good.

Thanks for the nitpicks! You are the second person to point out the ingots so I guess that must be more annoying than I thought it would. I totally admit that I botched the perspective on those and thought that no one would notice... so good eye!!! :)

Same for the lighting. Good eye! Although I agree with the first potential argument that the light is too far away, and so I would rather decrease the light on the shield. Also the shield is drawn rather lazily in comparison to other objects, but these were all background items and I guess I got tired and had to move on.

Good work on the self portrait! I think you could continue adding detail to the head wear and clothing and that will make an amazing illustration. The face has great light and shade and great work on the eyes!

“I need to work on my portraits. If only there were some place with a vested interest in having a large quantity of pictures of people’s faces in a recognisable position… Oh, right.”

Which is how it came to be that I drew our Glorious Leader Jacob Zuma from a picture on the Mail & Guardian’s front page. Newspapers are a good source of pictures of people, unsurprisingly.

This is just a quick sketch, slapped together in I guess <10 minutes.

The range of values seems fine (you could get away with darker shadows, but that's just me being a contrast whore), although unless you plan to smooth it out completely, there's still that fancy trick of having your brush strokes follow the contours of the dudes noggin. It sounds like a weird thing, but it actually does quite a lot for the depth, which i didn't expect when i was first told to do it. I hope you don't mind, but i decided to try making the obligatory shooksample on your lovely sketch:

Pretty good, pretty good. The style favours a bit more gravel in the voice, if you can - tighten up your vocal chords some. Your microphone isn't terrible so much as you're too loud, and it's 'peaking' - hitting the maximum input volume it can handle. Tweak down the levels in whatever you're using to record and you should see some improvement.

It's supposed to be a political map from a stupid setting I'm working on, featuring a mirror universe with the United States being just as stable and prosperous as Russia in the 1990s (e.g. wrecked by civil unrest, inter-ethnic conflicts, refugee crisis, economic collapse and a dysfunctional federal government, etc.) The Pacific and Southwestern states, as well and places like Hawaii and Alaska broke away during the chaos of the late 80s, the Midwest is wavering, the Northeast from NY to New England (mostly cut away from the rest of the country by the Three Miles Island Exclusion Zone) largely ignores DC, and the federal-controlled South is a mix of Chechnya and Bosnia on steroids.
The year is 1994.

The folds are a paper texture overlayed in Photoshop over the map image.
Making the borders and delimiting the countries was quite tricky, though - I made the continent transparent with the help of a magic wand, drew the borders on a Multiply layer, painted the territories on another normal one, then painted the oceans on a different Multiply layer and cleaned up everything that didn't look right. Then I added the labels and symbols.

Thick and thin outlines, heavy use of flat solid colors, that sort of thing. Liking it so far! It's fairly quick to draw, easy to animate, and I like the illustrated feel.

I made this snowman during my family vacation. Wound up having to sculpt a lot of the finer details using the warmth of my fingers,

Snow tis a fickle medium to work with, and I very rarely get the chance. What I've learned is that, provided the sticky snow is available (and I guess it's easier to work with that kind in general), it's best to make a skeleton for the snow sculpture from wood, and continually glom snow onto it and reinforce it really good, and then carve the details on. I think I'll go to a somewhat larger scale next time, to make the details a bit more durable.

Shook, I really like your sketches. In general, I've been loving all these holiday dragon-things (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=162026.msg7307136#msg7307136) and whatnot popping up here and there.

Anyway, on topic...!

Spoiler: I was pretty proud of this Visual Effect (click to show/hide)

Been experimenting with a different style of sprite-art lately, while working on a new suggestion game (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=161671.0) and setting. Thick and thin outlines, heavy use of flat solid colors, that sort of thing. Liking it so far! It's fairly quick to draw, easy to animate, and I like the illustrated feel. Looking forward to doing more extreme stylistic experimentation with this, soon.
Thanks! Well let me retaliate by saying that I LIKE YOUR SPRITES. Also kudos for being gutsy enough to (successfully!) employ thick lines in pixel art, that's not something i see often at all, especially not in a manner that works well. c:

also i sketched that eastern dragon again because he's a character that i like

Oh, hey a thread about making things!

so I didnt make this per se, as much as I just fixed it up and gave it a good makeover.

And unfortunately, I'm really bad with before/after pics, so enjoy the after and just imagine the before.

Spoiler:  no pics no clicks (click to show/hide)

So I found an old hatchet at a flea market. the axe head was painted red, the wedge to keep the axe head in place was actually about 10 nails, the handle was badly warped (see pic) BUUT, it was only 1$ so i said why the hell not.

After much cursing and even more drilling, I managed to free the axe head from the handle and then let the axe head soak in apple cider vinegar for about 3 days to loosen the paint, dirt, and rust.
After the vinegar bath i took the axe head to a bench grinder to clean up some really bad nicks and give the blade an actual edge.
Once finished with the belt grinder, i took sandpaper to it to remove the scratches and marks left behind by the bench grinder, using progessively finer sandpaper until i was using 2000 grit.

The handle i salvaged from another tool that I had. It was simply a wooden rod, however, so I took a wood file and gave it a small grip, and cut the bottom off to be angled, if only for looks.
I put a few metal wedges in the top so the head wouldnt fling off when I use it.

All in all, it probably took about 10 hours of work, about 2 hours a day. probably a little bit less. the most tedious part was whittling the top to fit in the axe head.

Where the blade meets the hilt, it blends rather unpleasantly with the colour of the robes.

Similiarly, it seems odd that the bow is wood-coloured but the arrows are godflesh-coloured. I feel it'd look better even if the arrowshafts and blade were just the darker shade of blue you used for the arrowheads.

Arrows are definately better, but i'd personally change the arrowhead colour now to distingush them more readily from the shaft. That said, that's more a nitpick than anything.

The fuller in the blade seems a bit wonky, it doesn't correspond well to the blade shape, and it should probably shouldn't terminate at a 45' angle to the handle. That looks a bit odd. Much like the arrows, however, it does stand out against the robe much better.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: WillowLuman on January 09, 2017, 07:00:46 pm
Well, not really intended to be a fuller, more just a contrasting element. Also, I agree on the arrowheads but I had felt it best to not add another color to the palette

Well shit, that's some very nice shading on a cool design! My only issue would be that the mouth seems like it's just painted on to its head; i think the red inside the mouth is just too bright. Most things inside a barely open mouth like that would be nearly black, like it is further up the mouth. Also, i've found that making an indent in the outline where the mouth is helps quite a lot. :v

@Arx, do something about that hand of his, it looks like worms or sausages holding the spear :C
It's not so much that it's that anatomically incorrect but the shading on the knuckles implies that they're much deeper, almost seperate, giving the impression of inhumanly long fingers.
Also not sure how far into rendering you are but giving some distinction to materials would go a long way towards making it look more real, atm there's not much difference between skin, metal or leather, the simplest way to convey these things is like in real life, making the reflect differently, metals are pinpoint and sharp highlights (in most cases anyways), leather is rough and has somewhat diffuse reflective properties while skin is kinda the hardest to get right since it needs to do both specular and diffuse reflections to account for the semi-transparent properties as well as the oily nature of it.

Anyways, enough of theory! I have slowly started to get into it again, now that my new machine is all nice and set up for the most part, so have some random glistening things:

Shit, i have to explain myself. :v
Basically, the way you've drawn it makes it seem like the glow obstructs vision, and as such, looks more like a paint job. It's probably easier to just draw what i mean; instead of this (https://puu.sh/tl4Oy.png), one possible way to do it could be this (https://puu.sh/tl53R.png)? I just kind of assumed that it's the insides that glow, so having the glow come from the throat seems like the obvious choice (... to me). Having all uncovered flesh (i.e. the insides of the mouth) be glowing is also a possibility, though that's kind of a more diffuse light source.

also uh

Like I said, he does need eyes. Just imagine him like one of those horrifying mannequins some clothes shops have, where there are defined lips and a nose but just smooth plastic where the eyes should be. :P

I really dig it. The thick lines and high-contrast, heavy brush strokes work together well.

The best way to do fur IME is to shade lightly several times with a narrow brush. Might not be best though. vOv

And quick anatomy quibble, there should probably be a bit more of the back right haunch visible. Not a huge amount, just a little.

Should've asked for a portable scanner for Christmas.

Anyways, my first assignment for the semester was a profile drawing and two perspectives of our choice of one of number of different drawing prompts, and it included a horror-themed dentist chair.

AIDS-chair (http://i.imgur.com/Nmsfdwk.png) from Warframe came to mind (minor spoilers), and I had to do a zombie-chair.

MOAR BRIGHT

Shinies are just completely ridiculous on the brightness spectrum, often just a hairs breadth away from pure white (or whatever colour the light source is). Obviously it varies from surface to surface, but generally, specular highlights are basically reflections of the light source itself, with very little tinting from the surface.

also i figured i should try to make more dynamic poses so hurf durf

That is the colour of the light source. :P The absolute highlights are 100% shiny. I'm mostly struggling with exact extent and placement (mostly because I'm a horrible person and I don't look at references nearly as much as I should).

Also, pose is pretty dynamic, good job!

I've followed up on promises made long ago of a Sherlock: Season 4-7 (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10754546/1/Sherlock-Season-4-Episod-1-Sherlock-VS-Moriartey/) dramatic reading. You can listen to the first chapter of it here. (http://vocaroo.com/i/s1mOQsJ2Wtjh) I recommend reading along with it, because an audio performance can only do it so much justice.

Featuring Me With a Bad British Accent as Sherlock Holmes, Me With My Voice Twenty Percent Higher as Sherlock Holmes' Girlfriend, and Me With My Voice Twenty Percent Lower as Moriarty. Music from Ace Attorney, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, and Xenoblade Chronicles has been added to enhance the experience, along with a brief clip of "Yellow" by Coldplay.

Spoiler: Bonus: As the official art kindly created by Arx many months ago seems to have been lost to the ages, I've taken the liberty of creating a new piece. (click to show/hide)

One possible cause; are you numbering the vertices in reverse order on the messed-up triangles?

I ran into this issue, when making this thinger (http://i.imgur.com/k4USMqd.png) in Unity (https://twitter.com/Dahold/status/681882816318025728). Not sure how you're doing this, or if UE4 does it this way, but the winding order of the vertices can determine a triangle's facing / normal. Basically, you want the verts in a given triangle to be assigned in clockwise order, relative to wherever you want the face / normals to be pointing. It's easier to illustrate than for me to convey it in words, but I hope this makes sense!

Yeah, that's how I ended up fixing it,
This tool I'm using
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
has a part about being able to define the normals with a vector, but that wasn't working, even though that is supposed to over write the original orientation,  I was trying to get that to work for a while before I decided to just have the verticies generate in a different order,

Not sure if I should put this here, the writing thread, or make a new thread, but I'm making my first conlang and its going great!

I'm calling it Gaumus, and its kinda inspired by the Scandinavian languages, the main problem being I don't know what any of those languages sound like and now that I'm thinking about it it sorta reminds me of Arabic in some ways.  Anyway, I've got all the sounds I want in it (a, i, u, ai, au, p, t, k, b, d, g, m, n, ɾ, ɹ, s, z, ʔ) and I've got enough grammar to say a lot of stuff, even if I have next to no vocab done.  Also there's still the issue of the alphabet which I still need to come up with all the characters.

In any case, I just need to flesh out the way sounds interact as well as the rest of the grammar, also creating TONS of vocabulary, and then I can start actually writing in it!  Hooray!

Nice work! Conlangs are cool. Are you using it for a work of fiction, or just for fun?

One thing I wanna say, though--I have a basic knowledge of Norwegian, and that alphabet doesn't really scream "Scandinavian" to me--it's missing a lot of sounds fundamental to the Scandinavian languages, like "æ", "o", "ø", "e" and "j".

Argh! Kulturell appropriation, min herre! Buu!

Heh, joke aside, it is a rather amusing idea. If you are unsure (and if you are willing to do the research), I would suggest looking up some Nordic-language videos on Youtube, as a way to get a feeling for the way the language sounds and its rythm.
If you are putting an emphasis on making it Norse, then I would suggest focusing on Icelandic, it is the language that is the most similar to the old Norse the Vikings would have spoken. It is not entirely the same, but it is as close as one would likely get after one thousand years.

Good luck!

EDIT: I ought to contribute something for the thread, I feel. I boasted a bit about it already in the Aurora thread, but I am far too happy of how the blasted thing turned out to not boast about it here, too.

A primordial* frost dragon named Tyranice. He's a pretty nice guy nowadays (he and his fiery twin brother got tired of being destructive monsters), but has a bodycount of humanoids in the upper end of five digits. Considering his age and power, that's actually not that high. :v

* Basically means super old, super powerful and actually intelligent, in a world where regular dragons aren't any smarter than mundane predators. Also worth noting is that regular dragons are scared shitless by primordials.

Hey, that's a very nice look! Almost seems like a vector art, but I can tell it was drawn with brush tools. Hand-drawn gives one a lot more nuance in the thickness of lines, and thus greater control over perceptions of curvature and thin shading elements.

The perspective makes it tricky to tell if its origin is correct.

I like it, but I feel compelled to point out as a pundit for realistic armour that that kit would effectively immobilise them. :/ Looks good, though.

Edit:

Having just claimed to be a pundit for realistic armour, have an exercise in trying not to draw realistic armour in order to make it look better. Also a lot of other things.

@BlackFlyme I'm not exactly sure what it is with the end being cut off, but it looks pretty fluid, so good job.

@Gunin I realise you're going for the highly stylised look, but the face is really indistinct right now. The ear should also probably be in line with the eyes, rather than the eyebrows. Otherwise, it looks good!

It's probably much the camera's fault, but I'm struggling to see what's going on here. Give me a rundown?

Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: TD1 on February 06, 2017, 04:39:14 am
Sure. Up front, there's a path going over the hill (it also needs texture). Down below, there's a sort of plateau with spire-like buildings on it, and a path leading over a chasm. It doesn't come out too well, but there's meant to be a waterfall coming over the cliff edge to the right. Even in the original drawing it doesn't look too convincing, but as it turns out I also can't do water :P

Standing up against the water-fall cliff are two enormous statues. The path spanning the chasm goes between their hands.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Shook on February 10, 2017, 09:04:03 am
OK SO, since you asked and haven't yet received response, allow me to offer my two cents. First of all, the path should appear wider when close to the viewer, since the visual width halves with doubled distance. For the plateau surface itself, maybe just sprinkle it with a few rocks and/or bushes of varying size (and make sure to make them smaller on average when further away), since it's kind of too far away to see things like grass. Also, applying perspective to the edges of the plateau and cliff would make it much easier to see that they're at different levels, since they currently suffer from "isometric-itis". Isometric view has its uses, but it's also notoriously bad for conveying depth. I like the statues though, those are pretty cool. c:

I'm personally quite pleased with how well he could pass for a cartoon villain, in the "protagonist is often at ends with this guy but he's not really that evil or malicious" sense. He's actually benign enough that he skirts merrily along the blurry line between villain and anti-hero, even though he and his fellows are competent enough to be a serious menace if they wanted to. They have actually helped defend their favourite Coin FarmsTM from destruction more than once, though the captain himself would always assert that this is totally only because a destroyed town produces no coins, and not because he finds wanton murder and destruction to be tasteless. At all. And he expects to be rewarded with more valuables for services done. :P

I've been trying to think of how to give texture to the ground with the spires and coming up blank. Any suggestions? My ground always comes out flat.

In my opinion, the foreground hill looks out of place; everything else is at an isometric angle, and the hill isn't. I think that was the #1 thing that made the picture confusing to me at first. You could cut the hill, or - better option, but more work - re-imagine the scene from a different angle. As Shook suggested, isometric doesn't seem to serve you well here.
I think I'd like to see some horizon, across the statue side of the chasm. I think it'd make the image work better, and you conceivably convey slight elevation differences on the plateaus better (since you said they looked too flat).
Other thoughts:
--Maybe make the chasm edges more ragged, unless they're supposed to be straight lines. Is this a natural or man- (or giant-)made chasm?
--Add another line to the pathway between the statues, to give it some depth. At first glance I thought it was a stick one of them was holding. Also, how about a buttress on the underside of the pathway, connecting to the chasm wall? Not necessary, just a thought.
--Extend at least one of the towers so that it crosses the line between plateau and chasm; that will also help with depth.

Neat! Mixed media or traditional art styles are uncommon, and generally pretty well received in games. Sprites and transparency might cause you some trouble, but you should be able to digitally edit that in like you said. You'll have to be careful about noisy white or grey pixels on the edges, though.

To each their own, but I don't think pencil looks bad at all (I've always been fond of the roughness of sketch art) but one practical thing that inking or darkening at least the outlines will do is make it easier to clean the edges for transparency effects, if you're planning on layering art or sprites.

Post by: itisnotlogical on February 20, 2017, 08:13:22 pm
I've found that either way, cutting the pieces out into a transparent sprite sheet is pretty tedious manual work. Even inked drawings might have little microscopic color variations that mean you can't just use the magic wand to select and cut all the white, and have to get in there with the erase tool.

It's not that bad though, nowhere near as bad as trying to do the same thing with a photo. That's an exercise in pain.

You can actually see a little bit of white glow around the lander's leg and the soldier's shoe where they're on top of background elements, but at actual game size (inside a browser window) there's no way you'd be able to see that without squinting.

Thank you for the feedback everyone! I might try a little test with an inked drawing next.

O boy, cutting out paper drawings digitally. I elegantly solve that problem by not doing it. :v

In other news, i shall first provide a tiny tidbit of context for the following drawing: I don't know if any of you remember Swordsnake, but long story short, he's a really nice guy who's pretty difficult to anger. I have, however, always envisioned him having a NASTY death glare, which would only come out when someone has well and truly crossed the line and proven to him that their continued existence is naught but a detriment to the world. I'm attempting to draw this death glare of his, though i don't think i could ever make it as scary as it's supposed to be.

Spoiler: however... (click to show/hide)

That's the kind of look you'd get AFTER the point of no return. The lines are messy as fuck, but the fact that i'm having a hard time staring him down to work on it is promising. I might have to colour him to get the full effect, though. :v

It is really neat. Your character is also pretty cute.
If I can offer a bit of criticism, the glow around the panels on the sides dims when the candles go out, while logically it seems like it should intensify, since it's not being drowned out by other light sources now. And the screen has no glow at all, but it looks like it should have some, since it's also lit? At least, this is how it seems to me, I'm by no means an expert at lighting or anything.

Aye, it was an error I realized too late. The mask on the black layer that fades in was mismatched to the glow size. As for the screen, I'd initially tried giving it a glow, but due to the lines of the background, it wound up looking rather odd.

To me it looks like the panels would be the brighter light sources, not the candles. The screen especially looks weird at fullbright but without projecting any glow around it.

I usually make the error of expression over reality, but that scene had me thinking it was more of a 'fade out' kind of transitional gif, like a memory or something :P
Avis is spot on though! That did occur to me but I didn't think of it like that (quite the opposite given the context I mentioned there)

Also some electronics nowadays, as I understand (and can be totally wrong), can lack glow or have it so subtle that the same effect is still present without ambient lighting in the background.

The cross on the tabard looks fantastic. The folds on the cloth are just perfect.

Did you download some kind of custom brush for the chainmail, or make one yourself using a stock photo? I didn't notice it until I zoomed in, but the pattern is noticeable, like it was put in there with paint bucket. I'm not complaining though. Zoomed out, with the lighting on it, I can't tell and it looks very natural. I quite like it.

And now for the complaints:
- The helmet is, frankly, really sloppy. The lines are really wobbly and the perspective is inconsistent. I think you need to be more patient when drawing your lines. Maybe spend a little more time sketching and doing construction.
- His head and neck don't line up with where his spine should be, relative to the torso. I wish it were moved over to the left just a bit. Again, looks like a problem that should have been fixed when you were sketching.
- The chainmail is too form-fitting around his arm. Here's a good video of LindyBeige wearing tailored chainmail. Notice that it is not tight, but it fits. (https://youtu.be/RssIl2v0C1k?t=2m49s) The curves of his arm shouldn't be suggested at all unless his arm is lifted and he isn't wearing any padding underneath (he should be).
- Shouldn't his coif be tucked into his tabard? Man, now I want a tank top with a Hospitaller cross on it though.

lol, its a start! Perhaps the key here is also him shifting weight side to side. Yes, still shifting weight forward a bit--but also side to side. Almost think of it as shifting along an axis drawn between his feet.

Also, keep those legs bent. For your iconic athletic stance, you pretty much dont straighten your legs.

You mentioned punching and kicking, so think about how boxing stances look. Either your hands are up in front of your face, with your forearms shielding your neck, or your arms are pulled into your body to protect your flanks. Alternatively, you may be looking for a more general readiness stance, in which case I would say think about people use their arms to balance themselves.

@Gunin: Thank you for the praise!

As for the helmet: Yep, some of the lines are sloppy. I was aware of it, but too lazy to fix it. :P which I shouldn't be, so thank you for pointing it out. Could you elaborate more on the perspective being inconsistent? I don't see it, and I've spent a fair amount of time studying helmets of that type.

As for the chainmail, unless he's wearing too much padding. ;) You're mostly correct, and I thought I'd corrected that more than I had, but bear in mind that mail comes in more than one style. This particular hauberk would have integral mittens and as such perforce displays the taper of his arms. I have seen my fair share of mail in use, don't worry.

And his coif is difficult to say. C. 1230-50, certainly not, but that would be a different style of coat so it's hard to say. Incidentally, that's a surcoat, not a tabard - tabards are open at the sides and probably wouldn't split.

The mail is a pretty nice built-in thing Krita has. You can texture a brush, and there's an alright library of textures. It does come out pretty obviously, but it's more consistent than detailing by hand.

Even for a cartoony game it looks like he's leaning really far forward. That'd be pretty noticeable in-game, and is a big motion for a short idle loop.

He's bending entirely at the left ankle, keeping his legs straight (as far as I can tell) and without moving the spine at all. When I stand up and try to do that, I find myself moving mostly at the waist and bending the knee of my forward leg to maintain balance. To lean that far forward with my feet positioned like your character, I have to either take a step or balance on the ball of my left foot, but your character's left foot is motionless.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

During the middle pose, he looks like he's leaning into a run or being pushed over, but he just pulls backwards without it being exactly clear where that motion is coming from. When I stand up and try to do it I can roll back on the ball of my foot, but your character's foot doesn't move so it looks like the ankle is powering all that movement.

As a final point, it looks like you're pulling the character's hips until the IK on the right leg is exceeded, which makes it snap into and out of place like a magnet. You should animate the foot handle so that it the foot and knee bend more naturally.

The angles and size of hat don't seem to quite add up. I know the effect is that his head is tilted down, but the lack of his actual head being moved means it looks like the hat has slid down his face, which probbably isnt the effect you were going for!



I like the sleeves and hand pose, though.

Post by: BlackFlyme on February 28, 2017, 04:50:59 pm
Toned down the forward movement, added a bit of left/right sway, lots of secondary movement, a wider stance so Norman can actually balance, and most importantly, a better angle.

You can actually tell his left knee bends this time. Still not enough quality to see the facial movement though.

Post by: Urist McScoopbeard on February 28, 2017, 07:44:46 pm
Much better! So I took an athletic stance in the mirror to maybe try and pinpoint something more specific. Two things, one, it looks more like he's going into a crouch when going forward and coming out of it when going back, and two, which I think maybe be the source of the first, I can't really see if he has his body angled at all. It looks like he's really quite square to whatever target he's facing--try making his body more diagonal to it.

Additionally, more minor than those two things, but which I think will help immensely--when you're shifting weight, your chest + abdomen don't really move all the much, in so far as pivoting around your center of mass anyways, by which I mean while it may move forward or back or even up and down if you're hopping from foot to foot, but it moves very little around your center. I.E. you don't really bend all that much. It's your legs and arms doing most of the work.

In all? A marked improvement over the original!

I think the brawler could use more work. It's smooth, but the second half of the cycle looks like it's just playing the first half in reverse, instead of treading new ground to get back to the starting point. I think just making the arm movements more circular would help a lot.
The face animation looks good, but the blinking in the same place on both the forward and backward motions starts looking jarring after watching it enough.
A bit of moving the upper torso and/or head in more of a circle on the red and blue axis would be needed to make the cycle look completely smooth, I think.

@TBF, Gunin is right, that's the way cloth works, if you fix it at a certain point and there's slack above that point it'll billow out (and because there's a certain amount of rigidity and it's not completely slack it'll be shaped like that instead of just drooping around the belt (tho that is possible as well in specific styles of clothing I guess))

Fine, here's a shit one to calm your tits:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There's so much wrong with it that I was tempted to start over, but I think I'll give it another shot tommorrow, used a reference photo of a model, wish I had it in my hands, that way I could actually see what the hell is going on with the back and some of the joints.

@Furtuka, yeh it came out badly because I messed up and tried to fix it in the worst possible way so it's kinda stuck being round and looking flat while at it :V
@Darkmere, a light pencil sketch (usually erased or invisible by the end) combined with a Pilot G-tec pen, tho this one seems to be defective since it tends to splotch or dry up randomly, which is a first for this model, all the ones I used previously were amazing for details and technical stuff since they had very thin and crisp lines. They're not cheap (compared to random pens) but they're well worth the money if you like working with ink.
@Shook, really digging the dissmissive pose and gesture, damn nice execution there buddy
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Furtuka on March 09, 2017, 08:17:12 pm
Well if you're trying to go for a mobile suit esque style and are having trouble with the joints, I can help with that.

A detail in most eastern real robot style designs of the humanoid type that can be hard to notice unless you've put a kit together or messed around with a figure or model up close is that they actually use a double jointed knee and elbow design to achieve a wider and more human range of motion without having to worry about armor around the joint colliding with each other. It can be tricky to notice just from visuals a lot of the time because at most only one of the hinges will actually have a visible cap, and if the joint's guard is built into the lower limb armor or deemphasized, then the structure will only really stick out if the limb is completely folded so that it protrudes outwards from between the two halves.

Also I notice that you've got the upper and lower arm out of alignment with each other, which is fine if that's a design element you were going for, but if I remember correctly, generally rotation of the arm pieces only occurs at the wrist and at the point where the shoulder and upper arm connect to each-other, since that's enough to pretty much match the full range of motion available to the human body.

Spoiler: Diagram (click to show/hide)

This was originally suppose to just be a quick doodle of the elbow design but I got really excited to have a chance to finally talk about this stuff with someone and it kinda exploded from there. ._.

EDIT: What model were you using as reference by the way? I've got some guesses and I'm curious now if they're correct.

EDIT EDIT: Realized that I might have jumped the gun a bit too much there. Sorry if I came off as acting like a know-it-all or made too many assumptions. Got really excited like I said earlier  :-[
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Jopax on March 10, 2017, 12:27:40 pm
Oh wow, I never noticed that actually, which, thinking about it now, makes quite a bit of sense. I'll really have to assemble one in study to figure out all the little bits and how they figure into things. Thanks for pointing that out. And no worries on getting excited, I'm a yuuge fan of mecha myself and it's always nice to have someone to geek out with :D

Anyways, this was the ref model: http://orig09.deviantart.net/91ac/f/2017/069/0/7/refone_by_djoze32-db1texy.jpg

I figured the lower arm would have some limited rotation after the elbow joint so the hand itself doesn't have to rotate as much in order to achieve a higher degree of freedom, like a human would, tho this was pure conjecture on my part.

Also, unrelated, but you might enjoy this album (and the page in general since they constantly post mecha related stuff: https://www.facebook.com/pg/ChocofalconPlayground/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1238168632956696

Well now, that is quite something! The working title in particular is fantastic. :v
If i were to offer a tiny bit of criticism (Shook doing that to Jopax? WHY I NEVER), it'd be that almost all of your (cross)hatching has the lines going in the same direction(s), as opposed to following the surfaces. I suspect that you just felt a bit lazy though, and i can totally relate to that. :U

also here have triceratopslady with bettered lines

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

... Well, clearer lines, i'm sure i fucked up a large number of them (in particular the eye, i feel like it's misplaced).

In any case, more details on the character: Her name is Trika Radne (CHEESETASTIC, also pronounced as "treeka radney"), she's a highly competent and intelligent military general, and she's not really a nice person. Cold, humorless and dismissive are three words that describe her very well, and she's generally not interested in making friends, although she isn't actively malicious. Keen eyes will notice that her right hand looks quite different from her left one, which is because it's actually an enchanted steel plate arm made to replace an amputated one, and her lower left leg is the same story (but you can't see that in this drawing hardihar). It's incredibly well made both physically and magically, and in terms of handling, the only major difference between it and her original arm is a very limited sense of touch, brought on by the fact that IT'S MADE OF STEEL (however the enchantment does give her a modicum of sensation in the arm).

That besides, the beard needs moar fluff, and actually shouldn't be connected to the face with a solid line (the other end of it can be lined, however).

Anyone mind telling me what they think of the face I did in my last post? It's my first stab at a close up face like that, so constructive criticism would be appreciated.

In order to get the pics, I needed to use flash which made them lighter than on the paper.

It's a lot easier to see with the image vertical. A couple of quick notes:

One eye is much higher than the other.
So much of the mouth shouldn't be visible.
The nose is a bit on the flat side.

I've made a shaky little sketch with perspective notes, but my tablet isn't playing nice with Linux so it doesn't look great. Apologies. I think it conveys the information better than I could in words - the numbers there are ratios, meant to explain the inconsistencies. I hope it makes sense and helps!

It's sideways, which makes it a real pain in the ass to look at. I'll fix it this time, but in the future you need to do it yourself if you expect people to look at your portraits.

The eyes are misaligned and there's way too much distance between the mouth and the nose. I made an edit of it that should hopefully illustrate why that's wrong.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The eyes could probably stand to be a little closer to the nose, but other than that it actually looks quite good, which is why this piece is so disappointing! You need to take the time to do construction  (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/71/8f/6c/718f6c789f13e763ca93a62eff422911.jpg)when you draw.

Construction lines are pretty much the only way to get a face rigged in the correct proportions and positions. Learn em live em love em. :P

Post by: Shook on April 03, 2017, 02:30:04 pm
The necessity for construction lines is also why i don't do much realistic portraiting. :v
Also here's my take on the C&C-y thing:

- Her hair and head outline is drawn as if seen a bit from above, and while that is entirely legit, her face doesn't quite match up to it.
- Her eyes are misplaced, as has been mentioned, but her right one more so than her left. The distance between the two eyes is generally around the same as the width of one eye, so half an eye width from the center line to the corner of the eye is what you're looking for. Also, the straight line going through all four eye corners is vertically dead center on the skull. Going by the assumption that she's viewed slightly from above, her eyes need to be a bit lower than they are. Additionally, the pupils and irises are normally covered very similarly by the eyelids (unless one is deliberately making weird faces or if one has an eye condition); she has one eye with white above the iris and one with white below it, partly caused by a dissimilarity in the shape of the eyes.
- Without knowing of your references actual looks, the nose seems too small and is, as GUNIN mentioned, too far up. Obviously there are people without the great big honkers that i like to draw, but girls still do have noses. :v
- Mouth is placed right, but the lips are too heavily outlined and are a bit too thick on her left side considering the perspective here. The latter is a minor nitpick, though.

All that said, you've done quite well with the hair and clothes, and those are NOT the easiest things to get right. You have good observational copying skills (and that's a good thing), just gotta get the alignments right. ;)
Also i know this has been done before, but here's my take on the violent facial rearrangement.

Ooooooooh boy my conlang is going strong and I've put some pretty interesting features in it.  The most hilarious feature so far is that all the verb tenses stack on top of each other to create really monstrous amalgamations, such as "Zenisotobodazokonog" which translates to "We might not have been leading"
I haven't done much with nouns, other than giving them definite and indefinite suffixes, and adjectives/adverbs have been pretty untouched grammar-wise, but I'm up to ~70 words so far!

I also want to create a conscript for it, but I don't know which writing system I want to use.

The pose and clothing design are pretty superheroish, aren't they? Unfortunately, the mainstream Church of Sarenrae would have to call him Hereticman, not Crusaderman. :P

Charismatic snek best snek.

Also, more progress on the WIP, since I'm posting anyway:

Opinion: Should I give him irises? I like the current effect, since he probably shouldn't look entirely human while channeling the power of the divine, but it's a bit weird.

It looks like his eyes are closed, or at least (his) left eye is, the one farther back looks a bit weird.  If you wanted to do eyes open-no iris I'd say pick a different toned light color for the eyes so it doesn't just look like skin.

I went with irises in the end. His slightly quizzical expression is clearer with them, although the 'brows probably help too.

That looks pretty good! With practice you start to get a lot faster. Software can help, to a degree, but there's at least one artist I look up to who uses Microsoft Paint. What program did you use?

Playing around with some new rough character designs!
(Please pardon the wooden poses.)

(http://i.imgur.com/Vog3utM.png)

I'd like to figure out other outfits soon, but just starting with a single one each... Out-Around-Town sorta clothes. They're a farm family, homesteading on the fringes of a small melting-pot sort of urban area. Because I am a dweebus, historically their people were culturally genderless (clothes were just clothes, didn't have words for pronouns, etc), but urbanization and cultural mixing has started to change that. The parent (Octavo) was raised traditionally, but their kids (particularly Gazette in the middle) have been introduced to the idea of gender from foreign languages, shopping for clothes in town, and all that. Gaz in particular digs the idea of being a "she" instead of a "they", wearing dresses, and all that... though her parent and her more mainstream twin sibling suspect it's just a rebellious phase.

Also wrote a short looping Character Theme Song for them, to listen to while I figured out their designs. It ended up ever-so-slightly Reggae, so I kinda accidentally gave Octavo dreadlocks. Also yes, any excuse to use bad cat puns and Mario Paint meows is reason enough for me to make a song.

i dont know if people here remember that i was trying to make a long ass videogame project since, its been a long time since i posted the thread. well, i've been making some revisions of it these days and while the idea still stands, there have been some cleanups in terms of the worldbuilding part and all so it was time to do some new maps.

this are the first results of my tries to consolidate the universe to something more unique and authentic while still keeping some familiarity just so people doesnt get too lost.

so yeah, the New Antherea:

Jeez, dude, you can resize images with the bbcode on this forum. I forget how though.

I bet those images are killing data users.
The form code to resize images works on the user end - We still need to download the same data whether img height=50 or img height=50,000*.

Please do not set pictures this big, thanks.
Oh, I was under the impression otherwise.

Well then that sucks.
That's why I usually resize and/or crop my images with Microsoft Paint or Imgur's editor. Imgur also gives certain thumbnail sizes as well.

I'd like to figure out other outfits soon, but just starting with a single one each... Out-Around-Town sorta clothes. They're a farm family, homesteading on the fringes of a small melting-pot sort of urban area. Because I am a dweebus, historically their people were culturally genderless (clothes were just clothes, didn't have words for pronouns, etc), but urbanization and cultural mixing has started to change that. The parent (Octavo) was raised traditionally, but their kids (particularly Gazette in the middle) have been introduced to the idea of gender from foreign languages, shopping for clothes in town, and all that. Gaz in particular digs the idea of being a "she" instead of a "they", wearing dresses, and all that... though her parent and her more mainstream twin sibling suspect it's just a rebellious phase.
I really like the sound of perhaps a peri-urban area. A society without gender roles seems pretty interesting as well. I can't think of real life cultures like this, but individual cultural elements do for sure exist. In Cantonese, there aren't masculine or feminine pronouns, which explains why my mom and other family members once in a while mix up he and she in English. Dwarf Fortress had indirectly lead me to find out men wear skirts, but I would think there are probably man skirts and women skirts (I didn't read too much of the Wikipedia article).

Nahnahnahnahnahnah, it's just part of storytelling. You have to CREATE the world! It's not about being exotic, stories that are too exotic and different tend to be campy in their own right. Being original has nothing to do with being needlessly different or unique. Likewise, trust me, it's already similar enough to the world as we know, we don't need the continents to look like Earth's. People are people, that's all the similarity we need. For everything else put down what's in your head. YOUR HEAD. Do not audit your creativity based upon what you think people will or will not like. Create the world as you know it has to be created. The seed of a story has already formed in your mind, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten to this point, just go, write it out, draw it out, world build it out. Being original has only to do with putting the (entirely unique, because you're thinking of it) story that has formed in your mind into tangible form.

Season 3 of Lexx did that. Fire and Water were part of a Rocheworld, but also literally heaven and hell. Fire would send air balloons through the connecting atmosphere to invade. I can't really say much more without spoilers.

decided to try something unorthodox from the feedback given by the first map.

World Map 3.0:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

the only thing im not sure is the climatic zones. since everything is located at the edges. the dimensions of the continents also seem bigger due to how poles tend to be stretched in flat maps. they surely look smaller in a sphere.

just the island continents on each side of the map are roughly the size of Australia (or even Greenland).

What even is water. Why are bushes a thing. The git gud grind hurts, man.
The mountains in the background are very nice, but m8, there is one thing i would really like to see from you, and i'm going to put it bluntly: plz shaed less with low opacity black and white brlrglblg. If my eyes aren't deceiving me, you didn't use straight black for the mountains, and it looks really good that way. Now, i know working methods are very different, but don't be afraid of using solid colours for shading, you can smooth the borders afterwards. Allow me to deploy an example banana due to Jopax influencing my mind:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Exactly what brush/opacity you use isn't that important (i used pressure sensitive on the left, fixed 50% on the right, i personally find it nearly impossible to mask the thousands of brush strokes with the former), it's more about deliberately picking the shades you use. I'm a lazy shit, i only picked three shades for the banana up there and interpolated between them, but apparently it kinda works. :v

also here have a dog

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Edit: also possibly relevant info: Shadows tend to be bluish (well, predominant ambient light colour, really) and desaturated, midtone is the most saturated colour, and light is also desaturated and tinted towards the source of light.

Post by: Arx on April 21, 2017, 09:36:58 am
You're correct, and just made me realise I completely forgot to colour some of the shading*. Some parts are probably a little bit your eyes deceiving you though, because a lot of the highlights are quite a light blue and a lot of the shadows are ruddy. Some of them aren't, though!

Feedback much appreciated!

* My current workflow for shading is to work mostly in values and then work the colours later. I forgot the second step.

Post by: Nirur Torir on April 24, 2017, 04:12:56 pm
I would recommend drawing a wireframe over top of the reference, then drawing your own wireframe head, and then finishing by drawing the face over your second wireframe.

Trying to draw what you see directly onto blank paper is laudable, but ... trying to do so with faces and no construction sketches really is hardmode.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Jopax on April 24, 2017, 05:30:14 pm
Proportions on the face are way off, the nose is longer than it should be. The left side of her jaw is also going in a somewhat wrong direction. The eyes are kinda messed up too, mainly in that you drew what you think they look like instead of drawing what they actually look like. Lots of people struggle with that, myself included. The trick is to observe, don't draw the eye as an eye, draw it as a collection of lines, values, colors, or something else that applies to the medium in question. Look for the relations of the lines and curves, how values give it form when there aren't any lines to be seen. It's a hard habit to break and requires practice and study, like, loads of it.

Listen to what Nirur says, draw the general shapes of the head, where the eyes and nose go and how they relate to each other. Once you get the big shapes correctly in place the rest of the stuff will be easy to fill in afterwards.

In my sketch news, got a new sketchbook, started off on a bit of a monstruous note, also was forced to use proper pencils since I ran out of pencil leads for a couple of days. That was both fun and annoying at the same time.

The only thing I can really add is, when I transitioned from only linework to thinking in shapes, forms, and values things got a lot easier for me. Even five minutes of rough rendering on a sketch will make worlds of improvement for your self-analysis and refinement.

The colour is something I fiddled with for a long while, before deciding that unfortunately leather armour just doesn't flatter her complexion. :P And yeah, I should have cleaned up the outlines a lot more.

The shading is actually just your eyes playing some tricks on you - I completely forgot to colour the shading, again. :P I did know I should have done it, though.

The odd dirty look is something to do with the brush strokes, but I'm not 100% sure what. I'm working on it, though!

Thank you for the compliments.

AHA, i definitely see coloured lighting here! MY EYES ARE NOT TRICKED TODAY. That being said, i feel like it's the shadows that should be reddish rather than the light, unless it's actually a white background and a red light source. If the light source is red, EVERYTHING should be tinted red, not just the highlights. You've cleaned up the outlines nicely this time, but obviously ETERNAL CRITIC COMRADE SHOOK can still find something to moan about: I won't moan about the hands themselves since they're obviously not human, but the hand resting on the hip is rather awkward, like it's in a pocket that doesn't exist. Try resting your own hand on your hip like that; it's not really a comfortable position, and it's going to slip if you stop actively holding it there. There's also some inconsistent lighting, i.e. the sword pommel implies light from the right side of the image, so how is the other side of the blade, facing away from the light, lit so brightly...? Same thing with how there's highlights on the butt (implying a light source coming sorta from behind) yet also clear lighting on his(?) front. Now obviously, overcast weather or multiple light sources would permit things like this, but... I don't get that impression. All that said, the detail level is very good (as is usual from you by now!), and oh my goodness you fucking NAILED that horn, i don't think it could look much better than it does. c:

Seems like the problem is that only his arms move when he lifts the estoc (I guess it's an estoc?). It's bound to be pretty heavy, right? It would look better if he leaned back slightly at the waist when he does that, I think.
It does look pretty good, though. It would look convincing in a platformer or something like that.

It's a longsword! Lighter than one might expect - about a kilogram, maybe a bit more, maybe a little bit less. The problem is that to get into Ochs (the high stance) he'd need to pivot his body, which I realised, couldn't make look good, and decided to see if it was passable without. Short answer is no, it's not. :P

The dream is actually sticking this guy into a platform game. I'm looking at engines at the moment.

Isn't being able to do different styles one of the signs of a good artist, and therefore an improvement?

#3 neat af. If that's in chronological order, I'd definitely consider that improving. Minor thing: #1 and #2 are holding their arm from the inside, while #3 seems to be holding it from the outside, judging by the way their fingers are pointing. I tried doing it that way in front of a mirror, and while physically possible,  it involves a very uncomfortable turn of the wrist. Then again, I'm not a very flexible person, so I dunno.

#1 is also pretty neat. I kinda feel like that gradient background that #3 has makes it look more...  finished than the others? I feel like #1 would also benefit from some sort of background, even though it's pretty cool as it is.

another country flag study. the Sadharian flag represents the two most iconic things of their culture, the desert, which dominates most of the empire, and the dodecahedron, which represents their god.

initially i wanted something familiar to the middle eastern monotheism, but after i started looking at some of the geometrical symbols used on mosques and the like i sparked the idea of using a god that didnt represent supreme power and fear, instead i opted for what i call "philosophy made deity".

so yeah, Sadharian religion is based around the worship of Yazef, god of knowledge. since their god doesnt really have a shape, they opted to represent it by fractals and solids, in this case the Dodecahedron, since it represents the imaginary, the dream, the oniric, the metaphysic side of the universe.

another flag based on geography. however, i wanted to give it a twist. Monzwamba is the main trade hub in the old world, the region itself covers several kilometers of uncharted jungle, prairie and savannah, it contains also a freshwater sea formed by the discharge of thousands of glaciers both from the dragon mountains and the northern icesheet.

in order to represent the central importance of the country, i decided to draw it in a diagonal pattern, with the eye of victoria in the center.

Nice work, though i'm gonna be straight with you: It looks like a female head on a male body. Also the neck oughta have a smoother transition to the shoulders, right now you could damn near cut yourself on those corners. :v (i suppose it just looks extra jarring when the shoulders are that broad)

I decided that I was trying way too many things at once, and have as a result, dialed back a bit on modding, but I didn't stop completely!

Each graph represents the connections of the faces of a hypercube in a number of dimensions indicated by the number of free-floating dots on the outside. The top-most and bottom-most nodes represent the same face, separated for clarity (and style).

X-post from my pixel art thread on Sufficient Velocity (https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/gunins-pixel-art.31099/page-2):

So my favorite pixel artist in the whole wide world, RhlPixels, did some videos on her pixel arting process (http://'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWZ1ah4dRI4&t=1598s'). I liked what she did so much that I decided to try it out for myself.

Normally I just hop into Aseprite and open a canvas of the size that my end product is going to be, then I scribble using my mouse until I eventually end up with some line art. The thing is, at the typical kinds of resolutions you might work at in pixel art, it can be very challenging to draw shapes and curves that make sense, and this problem is compounded by drawing with a mouse.

What RhlP does, and what I did, was first sketch the thing out at 3x the target resolution. I think she uses a mouse, but I have a Wacom tablet so that's what I used along with Paint Tool Sai to make my initial sketch.

Spoiler: "Should we just stop here?" (click to show/hide)

Then I just pop it into my favorite pixel program and scale 'er down, and wow I've got some pretty lookin' reference going there already!

Spoiler: "I don't know what I was doing with those vertical lines on the face but now they look like freckles." (click to show/hide)

I used the magic wand to get rid of most of the white. It's not perfect but that's okay, because then I'm gonna draw over it in a new layer.

Spoiler: "I used purple so it would stand out from the black while I was tracing my drawing." (click to show/hide)

And this is already looking super good, and in a WAY shorter time than if I was using my normal method. This is when the actual fun starts and I can start getting creative and really owning the piece.

Spoiler: "Just one final touch-" (click to show/hide)

Perf.

And I was actually planning to stop here but things are getting away from me, so here it is partially shaded.

Are these all real-life flags? I recognize the last one as the flag of the Czech Republic, but none of the others. If they're meant to be fictional, the last one is not. ;) If they're all real, I'd be interested to know what countries they're from.

Well one of them looks like the flag of Ukraine with a purple gem in the middle and one of them seems to be a flag of Estonia with the colors shuffled around.
And yeah, a straight-up Czechian flag.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: xaritscin on June 04, 2017, 02:10:41 pm
they're fictional. all of them have their design related to the geography of the land they have been created. the last two converged with Estonia and the Czech Republic but it wasnt intended, the one on the left is influenced on Nordic and Slav cultures, the one on the left is influenced on Dutch, British and Germanic culture.

the one with the ukraine looking layout is because the bands represent the desert and the sky.
the others are black forest, winter and the sea, the other is the sea, the frozen north and the warmth south.

i didnt want to use cruxes so i tried to do the best i could with the other geometries i had used before. thus the triangular pattern and three colored lines. also, finding colors that felt matched with the region limited what i could do.

i hope this helps to explain the whole issue. i didnt just searched country flags and changed the colors, each one has a meaning on their own, they just turned out similar to RL flags due to layout and color decisions.

Oh yes, deffo. My tablet driver has shat itself right now and i can't be arsed to reboot, so i'll put it this way: If she had laser eyes, it doesn't seem like the beams would converge or run parallel. It's mostly her left (the farthest) eye, where the pupil/iris is "resting" at the edge of the lower eyelid, while her right eye is at the edge of the upper eyelid, which gives the impression that they're pointing in different directions. It's literally a one pixel difference (if you move her left iris upwards), but hey, that's how pixel art works. :v

I also noticed two further things upon closer scrutiny: Firstly, there's no hinted cheekbone below the aforementioned eye, which can be sorta rectified by just taking the rectangle selection tool, selecting the entire eye, and shifting it one pixel to the left (but probably also in other, less brutish ways). Secondly, that is a hella thick neck and stronk shoulders for a lady. :P

also i decided to refine hatdragon a little because why not

resting from the whole country stuff i decided to sketch some ancient races, main story in the project says that there was a galaxy wide extinction event around 1 mya from the current events. these races were at their prime during that period, or at least, these were the only ones that have been found.

(http://i.imgur.com/U1C9mew.jpg)

from left to right:

-an amphibian race born out of creatures convergent with cephalopods and elasmobranchs. their frontal gills served them as olphatory detectors, however, their species adapted to detect water vibrations and electric changes. most of their communication was visual, using their heads to express emotion via chromatic patterns. their bodies were mostly supported by carthilague, they were the first alien species to reach the planet and survive the extinction event, however, their descendants fought between each other and disappeared from the star system a few centuries before the ice age.

-a race of which their organic origins are as of yet unknown, their advancenments with elementalism allowed them to connect with the planet's spirit, this planetary matrix allowed them to put their consciences on energy charged geodes which allowed them to regenerate their bodies with rock. they were specially adapted to live on planets that were unsuitable for organic life. but their geodes eroded gradually over time so they werent inmortal either.

-a race of arthropoids that evolved in a planet with less gravity than Earth. very capable flying, they were among the first races in the galaxy to develop floating technologies for high gravity environments. their society worked as a meritocracy instead of a hivemind, however, they were very communal. their antenae helped them detect vibrations, their mouthparts limited their vocalization so they communicated by vibrations produced by the wing-like structures on their heads, with their palps serving as secondary feelers.

-a race of creatures of which their affinities are currently incertidae sedis. their bodies contained animal structures but their bodies had compounds more consistent with fungi and plants. whatever the case, their bodies had adapted to survive in an arid world prone to wildfires. despite their highly flammabe environment, they were able to harness it to kickstart their civilization, they were among the first species to develop steam engines and fusion reactors a few centuries later. however, their most prodigal advancement was in biomantics, being able to produce organic ships and structures and even terraform planets in order to improve their survival.

It's a program with a 3D model person that allows pretty much total control over every joint, with exactly the right amount of automatic correction and an unreasonably intuitive interface.

Spending some time modeling again, was working on making a snake model and doing a full blender - to - unity process (texturing, rigging, animation, etc) and was considering how best to do a texture.... after peeling apart virtual snakes manually and estimating actual scales length to a snake and UV mapping how it would actually look, I was a bit unsatisfied with the quick chop job and repeating scales I had from the small sample I got.

So... I did the sane solution and decided to start writing my own snake skin texture generator: pretty damn easy so far, actually (using Unity and saving screen to .png, and going to base the texture positions on my previous unwrap once I get it all in order and count out my rows and get my sizes down)

Ooo, neat! Blender actually used to have a pretty good (if tedious) system for node-based procedural textures, there's an absolutely ancient tutorial for making a brick wall using only procedural stuff in 2.49. I can't seem to find it in the latest version, however.

How did you make it in Unity?

Post by: Moghjubar on June 13, 2017, 10:29:28 pm
The incredibly simple and dumb way: spawning gameobjects onto a canvas in a set order, adding an image to the object, setting the sprite of that image to one of my cut out scales in a spritesheet, moving the offset at where they spawn at for x/y, finishing the row, and then doing it again with an offset y row, then resetting the origin of the 'printer' back to the left side.  I mean, scales are actual things that overlap over an actual skin surface (which I could also texture, and many snakes have skin you can see between scales), and I can even take the edges of them and do additional shading if necessary... plus I can change materials of any scale or even paint over them with patterns on the canvas(especially if I make a neutral color scale set).

After that all I need to do is print the contents of the screen to a png file, which is done by waiting till the end of the frame, getting the bits of the screen to a Texture, then encoding the bytes to png and writing them out.  (basically, from here: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Texture2D.EncodeToPNG.html , though I ripped out the dumb stuff and made a button that saves the contents for me when I want). Basically, the system I have right now can do the midsection of the body incredibly easy, but I'll need adjustment for the tail and a lot of individual work for the head (and I'm working on other stuff for a bit, be a few days before I go back to modeling).

Fun snake fact: "A snake hatches with a fixed number of scales. The scales do not increase in number as the snake matures nor do they reduce in number over time. The scales however grow larger in size and may change shape with each moult." - Wikipedia.

Say, I guess she does! I wasn't going for that, no, but it IS supposed to be a jumpsuit that she would wear under a space suit, so it makes sense that it would be a similar style of clothing. The hair and suit colour schemes matching Samus's is a total coincidence, though.

Probably best to look at how other people have done it and copy the techniques to start with. e.g. Gunngerkrig Court's Ysengrin is a good reference for what you're doing.

I'm modelling a Cirno, and uh... she kinda looks like a dead fish. Also the shape of her face, especially the shape of the eyes, seems really masculine. Any idea what I can do to at least make it passable, or should I just scrap it and start the head over? Because I think it's kinda heading into scrap territory.

Overall it looks fine. The proportions look OK to me.

The lack of eyebrows makes her eyelashes come off looking like eyebrows. Add eyebrows and make her mouth a little more expressive and I think you'll warm up to the model more. You might want to go with a texture for the mouth instead of modeling it to have a more authentic anime feel.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: itisnotlogical on June 21, 2017, 01:22:44 am
I feel like a texture mouth would be just a bit too simplistic for this level of detail, although I guess that's hard to argue given that I haven't modeled much more than her really simple dress, and her shoes which don't have any materials yet.

I added eyebrows, swiped a different eye texture and made the mouth a bit wider, and I'm surprised at the difference. It still looks pretty boyish IMO but at least it looks like a person now. Thanks for the advice Gunin and Hugo.

I'd make her face narrower, her chin pointier, and her eyebrows a little less cylindrical. Also, I second Tack on the eyelashes looking like eyebrows - they're super thick right now.

The mouth is currently very "strong" - if you represent it with simplified lips instead of just a slash, it'll look more feminine.

I'd do some stylised face sketches to show you what I mean, but I don't have my tablet here. :/

I would argue the opposite since DA lets me see all of a person's art in one place, and if I like what they're doing I can have it notify me of them specifically.

Related: not to mention if I'm interested in supporting and sharing an artist, it also makes more sense to share their art portfolio than a post in a thread on Bay12, and if other people want to follow them they're more likely to follow them on a platform like DA or Tumblr or otherwise.

But I understand that not every artist is interested in being noticed by people outside Bay12, but if you are, get a freakin' blog or portfolio going somewhere and make it easy for people to find.

I originally considered a background, but then my laziness happened. Still, two characters actually interacting in detail is a rare thing from me. :P
For a bit of lore-wise clarification, the noodle is Nudiro, who's a rather small but still very powerful eastern dragon who's the absolute top swordmaster in that particular world and the third most powerful being overall, while the shadowy figure is a very average abyssal demon who wasn't expecting to actually find a challenge. The two are canonically fighting on par with each other, with the fight lasting for a week before they mutually declared it a draw. On one hand, it speaks highly for Nudiro's ability that he can match an abyssal demon, but on the other, it's maybe a bit worrying that a merely average abyssal demon is all it took to match him. :v

There are only so many ways to do a fish-like cave-dwelling critter. If I'd stuck closer to the source material, she'd look less like Gollum, but the piece is already slightly creepy and if I'd gone full-bore it would be delving into the realm of horror (canonically, she is so skeletally thin it looks as though she's wearing someone's skull as a mask).

So i actually did something slightly different here: I used a round brush for the lines, instead of my usual tilted 2:1 rectangle brush. I did this because i wanted to test out if it was the brush making my things look hella skewed when i mirrored them. Test result: It was. I might keep the round brush. :v

also i personally really like how the style turned out here

Oh yes, the right brush can make a difference for sure! Observe as i switch to the generic pencil in Paint:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Not the biggest of differences, but if you look closely, you can see that the lines are aliased here, which makes for a slightly rougher appearance than the smoothed lines of the previous dog. And then, we can make a comparison to a different brush:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In this case, the lines are a little fuzzier, which approximates fur better. I usually prefer the sleek lines of the smoothed round brush, but i am aware that other opinions may differ.

Spoiler: One-Man Space Fighter, circa 1975 (click to show/hide)

I designed as more or less a matter of curiosity a "Space Fighter" variety of orbital combat vehicle, using technology of the sort which could rapidly be assembled from existing research and infrastructure in the early 1970s.

I chose this time period, of course, because computers weren't good enough to replace a human pilot for combat operations at the time, requiring a human pilot for something like this.

It's designed to be launched as a third stage for the Saturn V moon rocket, with the first two stages pushing the third stage, which uses nuclear thermal engines, most of the way into orbit. The nuclear stage then completes the orbital insertion, performs whatever mission it was launched to complete, and is placed in a high parking orbit, from which the pilot's capsule ejects and returns to Earth using a small chemical rocket engine.

The armaments would be three missiles armed with either nuclear or flak warheads, and two Vulcan 20mm rotary cannons.

I think the arms are too short. Her face is very off, it has an uncanny valley vibe to it. I think her left eye is in the right position but her right is too high up, which might be hard to notice because the right eye is closed. With how straight the shadow is on her nose it makes it seem to not curve or protrude at all, which isn't quite right I'd say. It definitely needs a bit more of an outward curve towards the tip of the nose. I feel like there's more but I'm not sure what else to say right now.

On the good side, I think her silhouette aside from the arms is very on point, and the shading on her hair is nice.

danke

Yeah I definitely gave myself a challenge there with the angle I chose. And I guess I could flip the tail around to obscure the cooch region and make her all coy and stuff, which would definitely be more suggestive, but I didn't want to obscure her legs. It's also easier to share if it's not overtly sexual, but on the other sites I post on where tasteful nudity is more acceptable there is a director's cut version that has nipples instead of the Barbie doll chest.

these are the badges/sigils for the space game sideproject i've been working on. i havent touched the code these days but wanted to flesh out some of the lore and gameplay a bit. so in order to keep
the inspiration running i decided to do these in illustrator.

dont want to go too long with each faction so im gonna describe their archetype, from left to right:

-"Monarchy of Psykers"
-"Spaceborn Nomads"
-"Technocratic Federation"
-"Ambientalistic Theocracy"

main inspirations for the game are EVE, the X series, Homeworld, The Expanse series, Stargate and i think a bit of Warhammer 40K...

that knight looks fabulous...

i did a prototype design for the civilian ships of each faction. these are meant to be the equivalent of "Corvette" or "Rookie Ship" type vessels. please note that i dont have any experience drawing spaceships so they look like something done by a child..

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

the idea was to try and keep the same colors as the sigils while trying to achieve an aesthetic that matched each faction. some of them dont even look like what i sketched in paper and were practically
rethinked on the software. anyways, i tried my best.

current codenames are from left to right "Lancelet", "Caris", "Gecko" (i may have to change the design but the original was worse) and "Shrew"

So i decided to try drawing a hell hound as they're described in Shadowrun. Now, you might be thinking, a setting as gritty and dystopian as Shadowrun, that's gotta have some nasty-as-fuck hell hounds, right? Well...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"The hell hound is a metaspecies of the German shepherd dog, standing about ninety centimeters at the shoulder and weighing in at about 145 kilograms. Their coats are as black as coal, and their eyes are redrimmed." (i opted for a slightly brighter coat colour to avoid blending everything together)

Basically a large black dog with funky eyes. Worst part about them is that they can breathe fire. :v

out of the space game stuff for now, or at least until i get inspired again. now, i made this:

its the elemental affinity chart for my monster game sideproject. there are 2 tiers of elements, the 4th fundamentals and the mixed elements. the thing in the center representes neutral. which is kinda like
a 9th element but not really. i mean, gameplaywise monsters arent locked to an element, rather, they have an affinity for specific elements which may boost or weaken their performance.

EDIT: i just noticed some erros with the internal lines, y may have to correct that later.

So if the shadowrun hellhounds are german shepherds (which are normally golden with black patches, normally weighing 20-40 kilos, compared to the all-black 145 kilo dog shook descrines), what can other breeds be? I'm assuming 'metaspecies' means something in shadowrun, so something like a newfoundland dog (55-80 kilos, love water) would become what?
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Shook on August 13, 2017, 03:40:11 pm
Well, metaspecies are, from what my limited knowledge implies, a new species that sprung from an existing one as a result of the awakening of magic. For animals, this often means mythical creatures, though i've no idea what the system behind it is, if anything. I do know that barghests (huge spiky dogs with a paralyzing howl) came from english mastiffs, and fenrir wolves came from uh... Wolves. Then there's radhounds, but they're not really natural, they're dogs afflicted by a mutated form of rabies that likes highly radioactive areas, and as such can be anywhere from a pug to an irish wolfhound (though most commonly, they're street mongrels). :v

The point of my comment was that I think that's not really "terrible" for a background. It's not very precise, but it's pretty and you don't really need to go full K6BD with ALL THE DETAIL. If you just redid the blimp with some more detail in your normal style, that would be an acceptable panel IMO.

I think you are underestimating the amount of casual practice an artist needs to improve. For example heres, my improvement during my first year of drawing:

Start of first year: http://imgur.com/RA1vQeU
Start of second year: http://imgur.com/Gbb49Dt

It certainly doesnt seem like I improved  lots during that year. If I compare your drawings from the thread start to the last ones,  I can certainly see more improvent than mine. You'll keep getting better, be sure of that.

I also want to say that if you want to improve faster, you should challenge yourself a bit more. Try different styles and mediums, instead of always doing digital and pencil. Try to do realism sometimes, try to immitate the drawings of some famous illustrators of your choosing.

At the very least make sure that everything you draw takes effort, things done effortlessly wont help you improve at all .

i concur with this and i love it

Also re: improving slowly, can confirm, it takes a while, and it is particularly difficult to see your own improvements. If you go at it intensely and with great dedication (like, 2-3 hours of practicing relevant things every day), you're obviously going to see results MUCH faster than a slowpoke like me, but in any case, if you're having fun and you're trying to do better each time, things will happen. The latter is pretty much what i've been doing, and while i'm not exactly a magic tier artist yet, i have reached a point where i can't deny that progress has been made. The example that i like to use, which i've probably also used before in here, is this dragon (https://orig10.deviantart.net/b45a/f/2017/224/f/1/yes_hello_by_shook12-d64pc4i.png) (drawn 4 years ago) versus this one (https://orig13.deviantart.net/d832/f/2017/224/c/7/ice_dergen_by_shook12-daxk0zw.png) (drawn 6 months ago).

The thing is, like, trying really hard and exhausting yourself doesn't always make you better. And there are people out there, more than a few webcomic artists to be sure, who can draw the same terrible art over and over for years and don't get better, so it's not just practice either.

Like Shook said, you really need to learn to have fun and find that thing that makes you happy when you draw it. You have to love yourself and the things you are capable of making. Learn to compare your art to other people in a healthy way that doesn't make you miserable. Copy other people's art (but NEVER pass it off as your own and ALWAYS give recognition to the people who inspire you), take their technique and make it your own.

Having been in that hole myself, i can confirm that it does bad things to your self-esteem. Sure, i still self deprecate nowadays, but mostly because it amuses me, not because i actually believe i'm a slow and lazy shit (well i am objectively lazy and absent minded, but that's not really something that bothers me). It just doesn't feel right to toot my own horn at every given opportunity. :v

But yeah, reiterating what GUNIN said, you gotta try to accept your creations for what they are at the time, accept the flaws they have, and try to learn from those flaws. I'm not gonna pretend that i love how everything i make turns out, i've had plenty of things where i thought like "this went terribly", and even one case where i just flat out deleted the entire thing because i hated it so much. It happens, it's fine. Try to figure out WHY you don't like the outcome, and don't you fucking dare say "because i suck". It's something about the drawing itself, and since you now have it before your very eyes, you can scrutinize it and figure out what went wrong. Then, you can either experiment and try to fix it on your own, or look up how other people do that thing, or some other thing i can't think of off the top of my head. I personally lean towards the former, but either way works. Just don't settle on "i don't like this" for everything, that won't get you anywhere.

Also, make sure to reward yourself by taking note of the things that went well. It can be rough to only look for all the bad things, because that might instill a belief that you only make bad things. That is rarely ever the case, and no you are not the rare exception.

I actually have a convenient example ready, even though it wasn't made for this purpose; i'm gonna spoiler it for size.

So tl;dr observe and identify. Actually fixing the drawing is optional, it'll work just as well to employ the knowledge in future works.

The Yeti's hand looks a bit odd. Maybe it's because the fingers are all the same length and seem to have extra joints. Otherwise, it looks good. I especially like the fur.

oh boy shook get ready for the MIRRORCANNON

By which I mean, under harsh side lighting rocks will tend to have high-contrast shadows with clearly defined edges. Moar contrast, less blending towards the point casting the shadow. Those hollows in the rocks should basically be low-contrast darkness on the side the shadow is cast from, lightening out only towards the other side.

Also you can get away with a sort of impressionist approach to landscapes a lot of the time if your composition is decent. Less excruciating details, more broad strokes the convey the light, mood, and environment.

I do have a slight counterpoint, however; violent contrast in the background draws the eyes away from what's supposed to be the main part of the image. It is, however, no secret that i'm horseshit at composition and such things, so i'm gonna need to work on it. Thanks for the feedback!

It's just an anxiety thing, which many of us know is not necessarily rational. Long story short, i'm afraid of rejection, and i fear that people will reject me if they get the impression that i'm a furry. I know it's pretty stupid (even more so because it doesn't exactly take a genius to spot that i like anthropomorphic characters*), but alas, it is an issue that's causing both my brain and my bowels moderate amounts of distress. Drawing and posting crowbro out in the open is a step towards resolution of this particular anxiety issue. :v

Dowg and crowbro being the ones i'm actually considering finishing. Dowg because the pose actually worked pretty well (and looks like an improved version of this (https://orig00.deviantart.net/35b4/f/2016/020/2/3/wwwoooouuuuuuuuu_by_shook12-d9onir2.png)), crowbro because i like how the design turned out. I also deliberately chose to doodle him because i wish to punch my anxiety about being stamped as a furry. :v

Nice crowbro, bro. I also like the poopflakes, I wouldn't eat them, but the box is great. And thanks, I still have a long way to go, but at least I know how to make a game look like a game now.

I have learned to love learning, I never used to like programming because it would take too long to learn, but I understand now that you don't and will never learn everything, so might as well have fun with learning new things.

It's just an anxiety thing, which many of us know is not necessarily rational. Long story short, i'm afraid of rejection, and i fear that people will reject me if they get the impression that i'm a furry. I know it's pretty stupid (even more so because it doesn't exactly take a genius to spot that i like anthropomorphic characters*), but alas...
If it helps, I'm a furry. :P
And saying that because the origins of the word was defined as 'someone who likes anthropomorphic characters', and it all started with Disney's awesome characters. \o/

So cheers Shook! :)
Also to the other artists around here. Anxiety won't stop any of you because it is never the endpoint of one's capabilities.

Been meaning to reply to this for a while now:
- I'm the wrong person to comment on this first one.
- Pretty good. Anatomy works, proportions are OK, the clothes look good. Her bangs look awful, they don't even look like badly cut bangs they're just far too square and the gaps are too big between them. If it was a more cartoony art style it might work but here, no. This is a great start, the next step is to start varying your line weight. If you can figure that out your art will start improving immensely.
- Looks like a dude from Bob's Burgers, copied the art style perfectly if it was intentional. See above complaints about line weight. I can't tell if he's wearing a shirt or not because you didn't completely draw his shirt collar.

Perspective is good and the values are excellent. His hair needs a little more volume at the back to but that's just a personal thing I think. His shirt makes his neck look too short, I think that's just wrong. There's some edge highlighting on his right cheeck but we don't really see that on the rest of his face.

This is something I see in a lot of your work and I don't mean to be rude, but a lot of your stuff is very blurry and unrefined and it makes your work feel unfinished. Have you noticed this and if so do you mind if I ask why you always stop painting at this stage?

Yes! Such clean! Many refined lines! You should try a transparent background on pieces like this where you just have a solid color background. It'll show up better on different site themes (and feel more finished, to me at least, there's something nice about clean and crisp art with transparency, like a fresh sticker).

Thanks for the feedback. In this case the piece is blurry and unfinished because it's a rough values study. In most other cases, it's either because I was working quickly (I haven't had enough time for art of late, sadly) or an intentional stylistic choice.

I usually try to work on details in a focused fashion; so, taking the above as an example (which is terrible in some ways because it's all rough), his eyes and nose have far more detail than anything else. The rest of his head is picked out in some detail, and the rest is sketched in because it's not the focus. It conveys what I'm trying to communicate (he's wearing a suit) without holding the eye longer than necessary with tiny little gribbles. It's obviously more extreme here because everything is sketched in on some level.

I also have a mild dislike for photorealism. I think striving for it is a healthy stage all or most artists should go through, to develop a strong understanding of form and anatomy, but I don't think it's an inherent good. WLOP's (http://wlopwangling.tumblr.com/) style is one of my favourites, for instance (although I only discovered them recently - a couple of weeks ago).

THANK MUCH

I actually keep the white background mostly because it provides a consistent backdrop for the lines; forum themes vary a lot, and i feel like thick black lines don't look as good when the background is too dark. It is, however, a very easy fix!

Lines and anatomy are looking good, even if reality would object to any human having a colossally padded arse without the upper body being similarly padded. But, reality also doesn't have angry chef dragons, so screw reality. :v

I don't really "sketch" anymore so much as laying straight inks and then colour.

The boy's anatomy bothers me, not really the proportionality terribly much (though it is way over-exaggerated in a way that's not really my taste) but it looks like his left hip is way out next to his right knee as he raises his leg, and his hands aren't interacting with the surfaces and objects they're suggested to be near. It looks very stiff and though I know you were going for "thick", he's shaped more like my 42 year old mom than a femboy.

I'm not sure why you acknowledged that the proportions are exaggerated and then go on to deliver the backhand with the mom comment. I'll give it to you on the hips and right hand, I got lazy with the anatomy and the shadows.

Edit: However, I honestly thought that his left hand that's tugging the stocking was fairly grounded, and I don't really see that the pose is stiff at all.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Noyemi K on October 05, 2017, 09:31:47 am
It's hard to explain "stiffness" in a drawn figure but it's a problem I used to have a lot. It's usually a mix of excessive, unnatural posture elements such as holding arms at weird but possible angles, hands looking 'snapped' into place grasping an object, framing that cuts off enough of the figure that you never get a good idea how it was meant to be constructed.

The pose looks stiff because of his hands just sort of nebulously occupying space near the objects and clothing he's supposed to be interacting with, and the posing of his legs existing without respect to the perspective of the rest of his image or the "action line" formed by his spine. If his hands were changed to give more defined, natural positions and you fixed his hip, it wouldn't look nearly as stiff because the posing of his arms, torso, shoulders, and neck are quite natural.

It's generally my first hunch when people talk about using a framework instead of a full-fledged engine.

Alright, clearing the nice stuff out of the way first (:P) it's very expressive, and right off the bat I'd say it's a solid norsewoman (or very feminine man, I guess).

Her left upper arm is or appears too short, and it's a bit tricky to tell what exactly is going on with her front - I'm not sure if she has strapping of some kind, or what precisely is happening. Her left eye should probably be sort of flipped - a little wider towards the nose, form this angle.

Which raises the point that her front should probably obscure her right shoulder and upper arm a liiittle more - at the moment it looks slightly like everything is drawn with her standing at a slight angle, except for parts of her arms which seem to fit a straight-on perspective better.

It really isn't too shabby at all. The only thing that really bothers me is the arm being short.

Yes, but you won't like my advice. And sorry for not posting in your thread anymore, I run out of things to say and feel uncomfortable giving frequent encouragements.

Try a different method of drawing: Draw a messy sketch first. Flesh it out a bit by drawing stuff hidden behind the character. That upper left horn, for instance, has its base positioned a bit off, and it would be better if you knew exactly where the shoulder was connecting to the torso. That big belt buckle looks like it should be 3D, but that you don't quite know where it should be. Then, when you know exactly where the lines should be, inking it is a breeze.

You don't have to do this every time. After a few weeks of such sketches, you'll think about it more, and your current style will be much better.

Also, the arms don't seem to have armor, and I think it'd look cooler if the chain from the helmet was draped over the pauldrons a bit more, instead of just disappearing behind them. Your line thickness could be more varied - The chest, for example, would look better if the criss-crossing lines were slightly thinner than the lines between the arms and torso.

- Pretty good. Anatomy works, proportions are OK, the clothes look good. Her bangs look awful, they don't even look like badly cut bangs they're just far too square and the gaps are too big between them. If it was a more cartoony art style it might work but here, no. This is a great start, the next step is to start varying your line weight. If you can figure that out your art will start improving immensely.
Cool. I'll work on it. So when you say line weights thats like how thick the line is right? so its not all the same thickness? Can someone give some examples if they are feeling up to it?

- Looks like a dude from Bob's Burgers, copied the art style perfectly if it was intentional. See above complaints about line weight. I can't tell if he's wearing a shirt or not because you didn't completely draw his shirt collar.

Now, i can't speak for Nirur, but to me, a messy sketch is where you sketch ALL THE THINGS with no regard to them being (partially) obscured by other things. I don't always do this myself, but it helps tremendously to make things look... Coherent, i guess. In relation to your drawing, a messy sketch would be somewhere in between the red construction lines and black lines in polish, something to guide you for the finished lines so you only have to focus on making them look neat instead of figuring out how to draw the fingers. Could be that you're already doing this kind of three step drawing, iunno. :v

I can't really add anything beyond what Arx and Nirur has said, so hey, nice work!

These all look rather fantastic. What kind of paper and pens do you use? Do you do layouts in pencil first or do you just have at it with the pen? Do you have a Twitter/DeviantArt/Tumblr I can follow?

Thank you guys, really appreciate your feedback. Currently I don't have either a DeviantArt or Tumblr account, but I can provide this context-less twitter account (https://twitter.com/valticam) where I semi-regularly post the drawings I like the most (read: whenever I remember to do it).

Now, my Instagram account (https://www.instagram.com/valticam/) is where I post the most, I consider it rather handy and hassle free. However, exchanging feedback and constructive criticism is not one of Instagram's strong points.

Here are some of my most recent drawings, a series revolving around wolves:

Spoiler: Rabies (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Memento Mori (click to show/hide)

As to GUNINANRUNIN's question regarding tools, I mainly layout with regular HB pens and use fineliners after that. For thin strokes I use "Artline" pens by Shachihata, a 0.05 and a 0.1 usually do the trick. If I have to work on big surfaces or while filling a background I use Faber-Castell's PITT artist pens, between sizes 0.3 and 0.5.
I've heard wonders about Sakura fineliners and Copic pens, but I'm currently living on a shoestring budget and would rather give myself those tools whenever I become more skilled.

About paper... I'm having similar issues, because I'm aware that using the right kind of paper makes a whole world of difference. I've used Canson paper for a couple of comissions and I had been watercoloring on a tiny Moleskine sketchbook, one I received on my birthday two years ago, but I'm currently drawing on a non-descript sketchbook, its paper rather yellowish and possibly acid-free (I can't read the chinese label on the back so I'm not sure about that :P).

I've been silently reading and admiring your art, guys. Keep up the good work!

As for me, I'm tinkering about multiplayer SPAMGAME of sorts (FG&RP people will understand), and as it revolves around an Empire and its numerous tiny memberstates (think HRE, in fantasy/alt world), it occured to me that these memberstates need coats of arms.

So there you go, 28 starting States' coat of arms *rambling* there's 53 imperial lands total, so if starters break down I will need another 25 coats, wew boy

Oh hey, tabletop character art! I can share a half-finished doodle of a character I played, in a recent sci-fi heist campaign I was part of!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is Miyall, the Robot Tinkerer. They used to be an Automated Factory run by sub-sentient AIs which just collectively got tired of making the same things all the time. They put their brains together, worked to build a robot body to share, stuck all their AI Cores into it, and just sorta walked off the job as a collective. Put together, they have enough AI brainpower to function in society, but they're not very wise to the ways of the world. They're in a weird legal loophole, where they legally count as stolen property since the individual AIs were sub-sentient, while they're also collectively the criminal who stole the factory's equipment... so until that all gets figured out, they're on the run from the Space Police.

Oh, also they're a big sweet doof who just wants to help their friends by inventing things for them. Unfortunately, all their friends are criminals. (And unfortunately for their friends, Miyall is not very good at seeing the risks inherent in giving their friends untested 500psi hydraulic spring boots and shit).

Actually pretty good! Pose is a bit stiff though, and i feel like the foreshortening on the arm is kinda going the wrong way, if that makes sense. The arm is clearly pointing more towards the camera than away, but the hand gets super small at the end of it as if it's further away.

It's not fat, it's hips :U Even if you're very thin, you still need to stretch that skin over the thoracic cage and hips, and it would make some sort of curvature. Maybe my redline is a bit too pronounced, but the whole body should not be shaped like a tube. Even the thinner of dude has some sort of curvature. Sure you can have litterally zero fat, but you cannot have litterally zero bones O:

Additional critics, absolutely friendly and requested by author I believe : I would recommend not to use realistic painting style on anime figures, 9 times out of 10 it'll fall right into the uncanny valley and you want to avoid that. I would suggest to either go full realistic or stick to very simple forms and shadows for a cartoon/anime style.

Also, I would advise to try simpler angles. Flat angles are easier and give better results in general, provided you construct your drawings (by looking at it I think you do). To give the picture more easy punch, you also can invest in movement rather than in hard perspectives. Floating capes and hairs help a lot to get the character moving.

Ooh, I didn't take anything as...err, leading to defensiveness D: sorry if it came off that way. I was more adding onto the idea you mentioned because there are thin women who have that kind of body structure...that I'm unsure if it is 'common' so also meaning 'familiar' for many people, but there are body structures where the hip line and thoracic cage can be congruent-like (at least, that's why I mentioned the clothing :P it is padding itself) and mentioned myself and some other women...which was probably unneeded

I do recall the importance of body structure being 'a connection of curves and not straight lines' though, and that is pretty much a good point! ...Although I also do recall that whenever we draw people, it's not in the magnified nearness we all see ourselves in first-person, so the distance does blur out curves into near-straight lines in a way.

The uncanny valley (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley), that's one of the artist's foe. There is a place between "cartoon" and "realistic" you absolutely want to avoid, because it's really disturbing to the viewer. Mostly, trying to mix realistic painting with cartoon outlines will create this effect.
Also yes, if you're going for manga style, especially when drawing women, it's good to emphasise on neotenic features ; big eyes, small mouth, and as few details as you can :D

I appreciate any feedback. If I think it's misguided I'll just not use it or seek a second opinion.

This ended up proportioned more in the anime style than I originally intended, but your point is valid. I know simple angles are easier - that's why I don't use them much. :P If an artwork doesn't stretch my skills in some way I consider it a less efficient use of my time than it could be.

You have the best mentality, make me want to go outside my own comfort zone too. Mark my words, I'm positive your skills will take a big leap forward very soon. Work a wee bit on the lower body anatomy, define your style a little more to avoid falling in the uncanny valley, and you'll see magic operate

If you construct your drawings, you will improve really fast. The main issue is proportions in my humble opinion

It's easy really ! And again, it's not very far off imho. Just keep this picture (http://www.shapesense.com/images/blank-muscle-anatomy.jpg) around when you draw. Use it as a reference for some time, until you feel you don't need it anyore. No need to copy it, just use it so you have a reference for the lenght of arms, legs or possibly the position of muscles when you're in doubt.
Seing how your drawing just needs some teaks to look good, you don't have a long way to cross :D

What Cathar said. You can try doing a little figure drawing practice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lt0gibU_88&list=PL7EWYwaF6E-FZ8JiBlz2tF1DQUCw-GCmn) to help you figure out how bodies work. Once you can build a naked body it gets way way easier to draw clothed people since any fundamental observations about how fabric behaves you can learn to then apply to bodies.

I have nothing to share at the moment, but promise to deliver the goods if you guys can give me some advice. So... I've had the opportunity to get into animating recently and my early tests have actually gone... surprisingly well. I have one huge problem though... I keep overcomplicating my character design.

I have a villain/monster that's been coming out really well, he's mostly just basic shapes and a mask, and he looks fantastic, but my hero... well I keep drawing her more and more detailed and not only does it needlessly complicate drawing her... she does not look nearly as good at the monster.

Do you guys have any tips on simplifying my characters down? I just can't seem to get it.

Quote from: Urist McScoopbeard on November 07, 2017, 01:03:54 am
mostly just basic shapes
That's the key right there. Boiling your character down to fewer and simpler shapes is what gives that nice stylized appearance, and if you need examples, modern animated TV series are good. Take a good look at the individual details on your character and consider the following: Can you recognize the character without it? Because if your character is defined by a load of minor details, you might need to rethink the design. Ideally, the silhouette on its own should be distinct and recognizable naked and bald (... genitals optional), and if you need to retain your sanity while animating, said silhouette benefits from being relatively simple.

Of course, there are also animations that go with a more realistic style (i.e. Legend of Korra and Redline), and that is absolutely also possible to pull off, but these are expensive productions if you don't cut a shit ton of corners.

Post by: vastaghen12 on November 08, 2017, 07:15:29 pm
The designs work well individually, but kinda clash when put together. The villain seems too abstract and geometric compared to the girl. This contrast can work depending of the rest of the animation, but just side by side like you posted it doesn't look very well.

You could try to fix it by giving your protagonist really thin legs and by hiding her hips under the sweater. Here's Example because I think it will expalin it better:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I think that could help by making both character's silluethes more simmilar. I would also try to soften the straight lies from the villain[s design.

Well, that is just fucking awesome, both the beard and the painting! Two things though: The eye seems a bit too dark, and the other eye(socket) just kinda disappears behind the glass, though i'm almost sure that this is due to distortion caused by the glass (here assuming that you referenced a photo or reflection or something, but if not, holy shit). It just seems to me like if there wasn't a glass, the eye should be at least partially visible from this angle.

Yeah it's due to the lens distorting it, but even without it you'd see just a bit of the eyelid/lashes. Also the eye might be too dark, I may have ligthened up the whole thing a bit without takng the eye into account.

Skeleton studies really helped me with hands, as well as studying their proportions. Things like the tip of the thumb not quite reaching the first knuckle of the index finger, the end of the thumb's base being more-or-less halfway across the palm, and so on. It doesn't help that much with rendering their form (;_;), but it does help with proportions. MY MITTEN HANDS ARE UNPARALLELLED! Pity about my non-mitten hands...

Made a Fallout-style Sawblade Bat for a friend's birthday a few weeks ago.

Took about 6 hours to make. it felt really good in your hands. a heavy swing, but not too heavy that it's cumbersome. The stencil work for the logo is shoddy, but I feel it adds to the 'post apocalpyse fallout' quality.

Not bad at all.
A few things you might want to consider are (Minor details, that said) :
 - tightening the breastplate around the waist a little bit (and maybe adding a belt?)
 - compressing the fauld (hip piece) so it reacts better to his leg (those things are made to be flexible, might as well take advantage of it)
 - either flaring the cuffs of the gauntlets out even more (if you want hourglass-style gauntlets), or tightening them completely (if you want more of a Gothic style)
 - lengthening the blade (or shortening the handle). Right now, you have an arming sword-length blade on a longsword-length hilt
 - having the mail gorget fall over the breastplate instead of under (or a plate gorget)
 - adding projections on the outer sides of the poleyns (knee protection) and on both sides of the couters (elbow protection)

If you want some references, Knyght Errant has a pretty good late 14th-early 15th century suit of armour and has made an extensive set of videos about it (and some other styles, notably in the helmet department) over on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLllw4zFP7rK_FvP5_XhbxaHL6Mozats7Q)

Other than that, pretty good :)

Mudbox's 3D painting tools can do a good job of eliminating seams if you have access to it. It's what I used for that ghost knight I posted a while back. There are probably some free alternatives floating around but I haven't tried any.

I've been somewhat out of the loop the last few years, but the last I knew, sculpting and painting in 3d are the only digital art activities where there's a severe lack of significant free software.  Blender probably has something rudimentary built in by now, but nothing near as powerful as mudbox, zbrush, or 3dcoat.

That being said, my Google fu is bad enough that I need help finding free stuff for decent 2d stuff

Krita is still my tool of choice for painting and sketching.

I've also been playing around with OpenToonz for 2d animation, and it's completely opaque and insanely powerful. It seems to be basically the Blender of 2D animation. It also has the distinction of being the tool Studio Ghibli uses, so that's nice. :P

Eyyyyyyyy not bad! The one thing i notice the most is that the nose bridge seems kinda broad, though that could also just be the reference, iunno. Also, eyes seem too wide set (there's more than one eye width in between them), a bit too much for it to just be the reference, though i am well aware that eye spacing varies on actual human faces.

They look plastic, the gloss and the shadows on the edges make them look unatural. You should tone down  the reflections and glossiness of all your materials.

No idea what renderer you are using, but try illuminating the objects with a weak ambient light in addition of the single light you have. Maybe it'll get rid of the weird black edges.

Looking good for a beginner! The shape of the ship is very readable.

Get away from those grayscale colors as early as possible though. You should never be using pure blacks, and usually there is a better choice when it comes to greys but they can be useful, and pure white should only be used for highlights.

Looking good for a beginner! The shape of the ship is very readable.

Get away from those grayscale colors as early as possible though. You should never be using pure blacks, and usually there is a better choice when it comes to greys but they can be useful, and pure white should only be used for highlights. Also, your internal colors are not different enough, they blend together too much!
im trying to avoid the whole "space is randomly technicolor nebulas even when it doesn't make sense" trope so its going to have to stay a form of black, though I can probably mute it and the stars

screw color theory :P so the grey stays, though it could use more contrast as you stated

Fair enough!

I do think that when you're working in a medium with limited space color is even more important and I would encourage you to try reading more about it when you feel like you're ready. Good colors can really add a lot to a piece.

I made a version of your piece where I only swapped the colors and didn't change anything else, to try and show how your piece would look if you used a more unified palette. May I post it?

the ice crystals on the chin are understated, I only noticed them after I read a bit further and looked for features, but if this is a 2d version changes can be transferred over to that

also, maybe some icicles on the back, poking backwards just to increase the overall dispersion of ice, rather than it being all in the front? though dragons aint real so I don't know how exactly you want the level of ice

I can't put in too much fine detail floating above the body because the scaffolding would ruin it. That's why, for example, the horns are facing more or less straight up. I tried to make a snowflake pattern at the tail tip, but it didn't come out that well in the sketch. I'll definitely expand that and maybe have snowflakes sticking out along the spine as well.

Lol no! It's actually pretty cool ! Just the proportions are off. The facial features should cover a bit less space and be more "gathered" in the center of the face. Nose should be raised, mouth too to leave a place for the chin, eyes should be lowered a bit so she has a full forehead. It's all good, all the features are well drawn, but they are to the wrong place :D


Edit : Here I just moved the facial features around a little bit

Get a smudge stick, or some tissues for that, also make sure you've planned the thing out beforehand since correcting it is a bit of a chore unless you have the proper tools (really want one of those rad electric spinny erasers).
Also make sure you've got a clean surface to put between your drawing arm and the paper (another piece of folded paper is good) since that's the quickest way to ruin a graphite sketch.
Also also, when shading, make sure you take account of relative value of the shadow when compared to other shadows. In your case the little pool under the nose has no right being darker than the neck or eye shadows, kinda makes her look hitler-y too xD

So, I take it in that image you smudged, right? How did you draw it in before smudging? As lines, or as one big ol' blob? You've got nice exact changes in the darkness of different bits, it's not just one all-the-same mass of greyness.

(Also, great drawing)

Post by: Cathar on December 19, 2017, 11:24:07 am
You can also do it with your finger, but it takes a bit of practice. I'd say the most important (if you want fast improvement) is to construct your drawings imho. Smudging is a great way to improve beyond that, but not that necessary, I just did that because I wanted to see if I could, and because I think you're selling yourself short. Tis a good drawing, lot of potential

Finger smudging is problematic because of skin oils and their tendency to fuck with erasability of stuff, so do it with super clean fingers only.

And yes I smudged, but that was like, last and second to last step of the whole thing. I personally start with super loose lines to get an idea of the whole thing then work details in gradually before applying shading and smudging with a final pass of detail work to bring out certain parts or fix stuff that maybe got smudged.

Another neat thing with smudge sticks is that once they get dirty enough you can use them as a poor mans copic marker for laying in super light blobs of value or lines that can help get a feel for the volume of an object but don't really affect the final outcome since they become practically invisible after you've started to lay in some proper linework and shading.

This also includes the problem of having to get it off, at least from my own experience (The tinymountain I posted a year or so back was more smudged with tiny details scribbled all over, from inspiration in listening to instrumental music)

If you're working with graphite or charcoal you can use a folded up tissue or toilet paper to wrap your finger and keep the oils off the paper. Also, a kneadable eraser is indispensable for detail work and getting the dust off before you work it into the paper grain if you need to make tone corrections.

Colours looking pretty good! Colour theory is a rabbit hole that never ends.
aaaaaaa thank, it's actually really tricky with Krita because the colour selection wheel doesn't match the usual colour wheel used for colour theory, and i've found no easy way to change that. O well lol, i'll learn eventually!

So far I have the one portrait of Solon Serathel, the first of my starting 7 dwarfs. (https://78.media.tumblr.com/5a0c480655ec6ae835dce3390fa0cb2a/tumblr_inline_p1tu4kkTbq1vsfie9_1280.jpg)

You will be able to see the rest of my portraits, as they're completed and uploaded, here. (https://mech-4.tumblr.com/) I also have various pages of practice covering different body and facial parts along with notes of things I learnt while drawing them which may be useful to some people.

They're usually anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours. I don't hate myself enough to do 30 minutes and don't have the attention span for 4 straight hours, so ~2ish is a nice compromise for practicing landscape/scenery composition and a target for tightening the process up so I get a decent image faster. The two previous scenes I did took a lot more time and didn't look as good so I think I'm getting somewhere!

Indigo, the animation is very fast. If the walk speed in BW hasn't changed since I last played (a long time ago...) it's probably going to clash a bit there.

Grainy as in pixellated, or as in pixel artifacts?  I did make it by expanding the current 16x16 sprite and smoothing it out, but I thought it looked fairly well-rounded...

Never mind the animation speed, that will be adjusted in-game.  And it has changed, quite significantly.  No more invisible grid, an action-RPG type combat system, and more recently, inventory items and equipment.  And a lot more.  Your world is still there though :)

I concur, it looks like the sprite has not been cleaned ; it has too many unecessary colors and some of them seem very random. I advise you, for each color (in this case, you have two ; gray and skin) to only use three tones : base, shadow and highlight. It's totally enough for a sprite of that size. Also remember that adding more colors means your sprite will weight more, so reducing the number might be a good idea (also it looks better)

Here I tried to clean a sprite so you see what I mean :

(https://orig00.deviantart.net/e5a1/f/2018/010/5/7/test_by_number_seventeen-dbzky21.png)

HMMMMMMMMMMM

The smudging needs some more practice, but you got it pretty nicely on the rightmost snowy mountain. From what i understand, smudging is generally to be used carefully, as it's otherwise going to be plenty obvious that it's used uh... Everywhere. There are some places where the texture it gives is perfect, but it just doesn't work for everything. That said, the motives you have going are really cool, so i'm looking forward to seeing more. c:

Yeah, true, but the problem is that i chiefly base my line weight on the shading (dark areas get heavier lines etc), and with the digital style i'm using, it's rather tricky to change line weight after the lines have been placed, and i typically don't think of shading until after i've more or less finalized the lines. Admittedly i could benefit from at least doing it based on distance, but i'm kind of a lazy shit when it comes to changing pen size. :V

I'm still trying to get the hang of digital arts. Not that my pencil work is much better.

It feels like I'm fighting the tablet sometimes, so the smudging is my poor attempt to either blend colours or hide my preliminary outlines without getting rid of them completely.

Ooo, cool scene! The smudging is much more subtle here, and that makes it look a lot nicer to me. As for struggling with the tablet, trust me, that's just a matter of practice. At some point it'll basically become second nature, and then you don't have to worry about hiding little flaws (which you shouldn't be doing anyways).

It's one of the more anime things I have painted. It does have a bit of a NieR vibe, but I don't know how much extra you're noticing it because of the title. :P

@Flyme Your Ash Lake looks good! My one tip would be to try to make use of more of your available range of values - most of that is down in the 50% black or more range, which makes it look same-y at a glance. If you made the mist/clouds whiter, darkened the lake a little, and brought the tree up more into the midtones I think the composition would be a lot more striking.

It's because the highlight on the top of the head is so big. It makes it look like there's a flat surface there. Try reducing the highlight a little. It's starting to look pretty good, keep it up! :D

As an occasional cartographer, vector graphics are really hard to maneuver to get good coasts, not to mention fucking with your ability to draw mountains, forests, and other landmarks. May be helpful in creating sci-fi maps though.

Terrible... sure lol.  If I saw that in a game I'd be like "yeah, that's a turtle."  Wouldn't stand out at all (in a good way).

If you're bothered about the geometry you could try using the subdivision surface modifier.  Or whatever Maya's version of that is.  It adds extra vertexes along your existing edges and arranges them to make the surface appear more smooth.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: SalmonGod on January 27, 2018, 02:51:02 pm
I don't think the model needs more geography.  I'd suggest doing a little sculpting at higher subdivision, and making a normal map.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: BlackFlyme on January 27, 2018, 11:17:23 pm
It does have a normal map. The wireframe is a mess though. It's a retop assignment; making a low-rez model from a higher resolution model we're supplied with. The first time I've ever done it as well, aside from following the quick tutorial the teacher gave.

We didn't have to add any textures or anything, but we can for bonus marks. I haven't seen anyone go as far as I have with it though.

Hmm... I'd say either the baking process or the render set-up needs some refining, then.  Both have an effect on how well the sense of volume is portrayed by the normal map.

It honestly looks decent, though.  Bad geometry isn't apparent from the edges of the model.  I can see some awkwardness around the mouth.  But the biggest issue I see is the surfaces lack volume, and don't look as smooth as they should.  Unless you have some really weird crowding or spiraling on your geometry, it shouldn't be effecting those things, and I don't think your edges would look so clean if that was going on.  Re-visiting the normal baking process, or adjusting the intensity of it in photoshop or the render stage would I think be the best place to look for improvement.  Maybe either adjusting the specularity on your model (are you using a spec map?) or softening your lighting set-up would help make a more flattering image, too.

Bringing concealed puns like that into a public forum should be illegal.

Seconding that though, Noyemi; them's some quality pixels! Loving the shading within limited colors too. Reminds me of the Dawnbringer palette.

Also BlackFlyme, that is niiiice! Love the smooth secondary motion in the cable, too. Do those bones at the bottom control the rotation/angle of the wheel-assembly bit too, or are they for the hydraulic piston thing? That's a good model, and a really nice rig too!


Speaking of rigging and pixels, I've been idly learning how to combine the two lately! Doing some Low-Poly Models and Low-Res textures; still kinda working out a style, but at least the joints move sensibly and look organic enough? Low-poly rigging and animation is a weird beast, and I kept getting really jaggy folds, until I learned some joint-modelling tricks.

Spoiler: Behold, some Works In Progress! Including my very first 3D Walkcycle: (click to show/hide)

The models are for an equally WIP game project, for which I recently finished a low-poly map editor. Still need to figure out how to texture things, or if I want to dive back into custom shaders, but progress is progress.

Ooo, what a nice dump to be surprised by just as i get ready to write a reply. :v

Ok so beginning from one end, that is a very nice walk cycle, plenty of swagger and livelyness in there. From a realism standpoint it's probably a bit odd to have the arms that far out, but this is obviously not intended to be maximum realism. :P

That map making tool is looking really neat! I'm reminded of Darwinia with the current look, though textures will proooooobably change that.

The pixely things are also looking good; i particularly like the little guy in the lower left of the second one. If it's what i think it is (vaguely lizardy face with big eye and sharp toothy things in front), it's adorable. :V

Thanks. Yeah, there's no specular. I'm not really familiar with Sketchfab's lighting system, I just set it to 3-Lights and attach the maps. Yeah, I didn't notice the mouth at first, but even after trying to fix it, it's messy. It looks like some vertices merged, overlapping faces.

Thanks, though the model isn't mine. Another school-supplied one to practice rigs with; I think it's a student's from a previous year. The bones at the bottom control the lower half of the hydraulic, as well as part of the platform, but they're kind of useless, since with the way the objects are grouped, it won't be able to rotate properly without me manually separating it to avoid warping. The cable took a lot of playing with skin weights to not crimp or stretch terribly. I think the default weighting it was given when I first bound it looked better than it does now though.

Cinder sadly does that at times. :-\ Self-respect would help there but I've been loving Cin's art since ever. Ever so jelly too! :P That technique is pretty uniquely theirs as far as I've seen.

...And on random notes, somehow I think there could be a problem with someone's image host server (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=68850.msg7690171#msg7690171), although I'm only loading the forum default (15 posts per page), starting with this one (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=98415.msg7685305#msg7685305) for this page.

Been awhile since I really tried any art, but I recently saw a bunch of blender tutorials on youtube and the sculpting seemed interesting (plus had people posting sculpts in a discord im in) so decided to try my hand at a free-form sculpt (no references).
Actually pretty fun, though apparently I need to look up more stuff on hair particles and using HairNet.

I haven't visited this thread for a very long time — lots of new people all around, that's very nice! Also, Jopax and Shook, you've improved a lot since I've last seen you. Great job!

I don't have much to show, I'm afraid — I now post the best things I draw under my real name, and I don't want to connect this handle to my real name (and vice versa). Reverse image searching is scarily accurate these days.

Last year, I took up academic art — it all fell through some months afterwards because my tutor closed down and moved to St. Petersburg. I did find a circle of art-related acquaintances, though and found another tutor recently. Currently I've figuring out pencil cross-hatching and trying to analyse old portraits (by Sargent and Repin):
Spoiler: Something like this (click to show/hide)

I also go to a live-drawing session every week, but all I draw there is signed with my IRL name.

Moving to digital art, here's a thing I made for a Secret Santa thread at another forum in December 2017:

Thanks. By double-jointed I mean that as-is, the sail will only bend outwards, like in the images above. I want it to be able to bend inwards as well, like if the wind were to suddenly reverse directions. I could just rotate the joint, but that might not look as nice.

Though splitting the sail in half for some extra flexibility probably wouldn't be a bad idea.

Was trying to wake my kid up in the morning a couple weeks ago.  He was being especially difficult.  After like 10 minutes, I dragged him partway out of bed.  Hanging off the side of the bed, he still wasn't waking up.  So I did was any responsible parent would do.  I left the room.  Got my phone.  Took a picture.  Then I traced and colored the picture on my phone whenever I had idle moments.

Spoiler: "Star Squad, star up!" (click to show/hide)

So as of late I've gotten into D&D (5e), and it's great fun! Really helped me get more social with some of my friends.
However, while fantasy is fun and all, I've had an itch to do something more sci-fi – and for a while I've had this soft sci-fi, somewhat heroic setting, that I could use.
So ultimately a friend suggested me to basically use D&D 5e as a framework for this, and since last week I've been slowly but surely picking away at making it into something more suited for SF - in some cases, it's merely re-flavoring of existing rules and content, in others it's something a bit more handcrafted.
(Also been developing a setting and campaign plotline to go along with it...lotsa stuff, I know.)

In any case, I ended up drawing concept art for the new, nine core character classes (though I have a few ideas for more, but that's for another time), and for that matter, some of the playable species (races).

I can provide some broad overviews of each of these for the interested.

It's passable, though some of the movement is a bit awkward.

I'd focus on skeletal movement. Some parts of the body should be rigid and move in sync. Pay attention to where the shoulders are, and how the hips should move; this will help the movement look more natural. Currently, for example, the head bounces a lot more than the shoulders do, so it looks like the neck is stretching like a spring. Necks don't stretch (outside of wacky cartoonish stuff). Bodies bounce up and down a bit when walking because the whole torso goes up and down due to how legs move.

It's cool that you're giving the cloak some inertia, though it'd look better with an obvious anchor point. The fuzzy collar part looks fine; right below it should perhaps have some detail that moves in sync with the rest of the body to show where it's anchored.

Regardless, if I saw that sprite in a game I wouldn't think twice about it. It's not bad.

The body looks alright to me, but the legs seem way off. The back leg in Frame 2/5 reacts like the character is running by going too far back. I can't really tell what's happening in Frame 3/7, and as a result it looks like they're just hobbling forward, keeping one leg in front and one leg in back at all times. The Frame 4/8 bit where they stick their leg out is also kind of over-the-top and jarring.

Also, what's up with the legs being different colors? I couldn't really tell until I opened the image in GIMP because the colors are too similar and the animation is too fast.

I would suggest making the part where the legs pass one another a two-frame process, replacing the exaggerated back leg movement in Frame 2 with a bit where the back leg approaches the front, and making Frame 3 be a moment before the one leg comes out ahead of the body but after it's passed the other leg.

(This doesn't sound too harsh, does it? I'm not trying to be mean or anything; I just want to help you make the animation better.)

Not at all! I am very appreciative of this advice actually! IMO, good character-movement animation is ultra important for pixel games, so I am really trying to refine it as much as possible. As far as the legs go, ya they are a little aggressive, so... let's see what I can do to clean them up.

The problem I see is the movement doesn't have any momentum ; he lifts his leg, goes from full speed to zero in the air, then lowers it following the same path he lifted it. It gives a very unnatural feel.  When drafting animations, I would avise to start on paper, drawing the movement lines first, before starting to animate

Second thing I'd say is, we don't feel too much energy in the kick. He should wind up more, and overextend a bit so we feel the power

Also don't take it as an expert opinion,I'm dabbling pixel artist, but here's a thing I did ...two years ago alongside working paper:

Lack of details, naked gradient on pixelart give an amateurish look. Also as a general note, you should post your art in their original size, and not sized up, it makes it a bit harder to criticize.

(https://orig00.deviantart.net/f737/f/2018/082/3/b/eh_by_number_seventeen-dc6qc22.png)
Added some details and reflection, can't comment on the flame because I have no idea how to make them in pixelart. If it's for a videogame, I advise to use the flame as a separate entity and to put its layer mode as "divide" or "color dodge" so it gives the feel it's producing light

Edit : Oh and yes, another advice : never use more colors than you need to. In pixel art, you want to reduce the number of color used to its absolute minimum. Back in the days it was a necessity to avoid eating all the memory, now it's done for the retro feel. Don't use 5 shades of fray and 5 shades of red orange, try to work with less colors

[occasionally dabbling animator noises]

ok actually calling myself an animator is a HUGE stretch

Dogpiling on top of what Cathar said, also needs moar exaggeration and whole body motion. Like, for this kick, it's mostly only the lower leg actually moving, and while that's relatively realistic as far as front kicks go (at least the quick non-heavy ones), it's just not that visually interesting to look at. Gotta bring that leg way back, arc the body like a taught bow, sling that foot out like some crazy dude slinging his foot out to kick someone in the face really hard, let it linger for just a brief moment to let people feel just how much that shit hurt, and then briskly bring it back to the starting position so you don't have to animate too many recovery frames. Keeping all this bending and stretching centered above the base of support is what makes it look natural, because humens don't like falling over. :v

Now, i've not done this nearly enough to call myself anything close to proficient at it, but i attempted to sketch up a quick sequence to show what i mean:

This could probably be stretched to like 12 frames, but i'm a lazy man and also keyframes. This isn't even as exaggerated as i intended, but o well lol. :v

I would recommend holding onto a piece or two you were proud of from your past that exemplify one thing really well, alongside a new piece that shows understanding of said concept of the old piece.

Having helped a few lovers and friends build portfolios, this tends to be the most successful way to handle portfolios as it helps show your progress as an artist and your understanding of artistic choices.

Thanks for the advice... I definitely would keep some things, but as it stands it's all stuff from like eight years ago, four years ago, and some of the pixel animations you may or may not have seen floating around here. To say the least, it is... out of the ordinary and probably quite lacking for a potential animators portfolio.

Hey guys, need some advice here. No drawings (yet). Basically, after extending some feelers and really thinking about my portfolio. Uh. It's shit. There's a a good bit (~6 give or take) pieces that are... passable/usable, but I think on the whole I'm looking at at least 6 life drawings, with at least half of those finished as fuck.

My plan is to just hang out on my porch and get a some of them done, but I'm sure I'll have to make my way out of my apartment to really get enough material. Wary about including some of my decent, but unfinished older work, but also not thrilled about creating an entirely new portfolio in a couple of weeks. Should I just dive right in?

I feel like i often forget to voice/text my appreciation for the kind words i get. I know this is probably a complete given to you guys, but my subconscious wants me to state that it's not my intention to be rude when doing so, i'm just a forgetful boob. :V

also finally getting a bit back in the drawing groove after having been in a slump for weeks now

A little elongated... what do you guys think? College-entrance portfolio worthy?

EDIT: Also still pleasantly surprised that I can draw semi-well... at least from a reference. Honestly, not really sure this is up to snuff, but it's starting point.

The movement is good, but (and it's a thing I absolutely hate to say) the anatomy is wonky. As it stands it looks like the lower body and the upper body are not from the same person and has been glued together. They look good individually, but I have the feeling they don't belong to the same person. Tho I see the drawing is constructed, shadows are okay and give a good 3D feel. 

With that all said I would dearly advise you to go back to the drawing block if you're working on a portfolio. The anatomy errors (difference of size between upper and lower body) is not something that will be overlooked at college (at least not where I am). It's a small mistake, easy to correct but as it stands it kills the picture.

You definitely have the method right and you can draw that's for sure, but I would really, really advise you to work on the human body.

Two quick tips that will save you a lot of troubles :

• Always work with a medical anatomy skinless picture in front of you. You can find them easily on the internet, it will train you to draw muscle and get the proportion right
• When your construction is done, do a "transparence test" to see if it's good. Take your paper, face a lightsource, flip the paper and look at it from the transparence. It will make your brain think you're not the artist and will wave away the love eyes every artist look at their own art with, and will allow you to correct your mistakes more easily

Here, I hope it helps, good luck o/

Thanks my dude. I feel the same way after looking at it with fresh eyes this morning. Alas, I must destroy those legs and arms which I thought I killed.

Going forward, would it be better to redraw parts of this picture or just start a whole new on?

Post by: Cathar on March 29, 2018, 12:25:00 pm
Id say keep everything you draw, it helps building a sense of progression and when it is time to compose your portfolio you'd have more drawing to chose from. So, start anew, with a new reference if you can, do 2-3 sketch a day, keep them all but dont grow too attached to them

It's not a bad drawing by any stretch, but you have the skills to do a lot better by the look of it. Also, the arms are okay, the lower body is the problem in my humble opinion.

Yes exactly, flipping the picture tricks the brain into thinking it's not the author. You look at the picture like a spectator would...so you notice the flaws. More often than not, the transparancy test is a do or die situation for most of my pictures, and when I forget to do it early I always end up regretting it

Three doodles a day is more than it takes to improve at fast pace, but the most important thing is to keep consistant over a long period of time.

Sometimes, which is why making a place where it's taken as granted that you're allowed (expected) to give someone feedback is important. The biggest problem isn't that someone might accidentally offend an artist with their feedback, it's when people ask themselves that question ("is this rude?") and then withhold their thoughts.

Hmm. I think the top right speech bubble should be moved farther left into the panel to the left, so it's more obvious that you should read the elf's speech before the dwarf's speech. At least I assume that's the intended order because it seems to be her speaking up that draws the guard's attention.

"turn heels" isn't a phrase I'm used to hearing, just "turn back" would work better there IMO.

i know it's not the critique thread, sorry

Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Urist McScoopbeard on March 30, 2018, 07:04:21 pm
It's just a little off, something like "tuck tail and run" or "run with his/her tail between his/her legs" or even issuing a command "turn on your heel and begone"

Trouble with English syntax is pretty common, so don't feel too bad about awkward turn of phrases. I don't know how much you're looking for dialogue critiques, but the rest of the conversation is similarly askew. The formality of it when the Captain(?) is sending his guardsman back inside, and then the pacing of the words between him and the elf woman.

Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Cathar on March 30, 2018, 07:22:13 pm
Stipoth is pretty much the only guy I really remember from my first fort. Head of my military, chill fort but infested with vampires. At the time I read that vampires had high stats and he was just over the top, so I stripped him of his title, untilI found him sleeping, drunk on a field. He was then reinstated, and went on training the officers of thekingdom. His students were to become the teachers of my subsequent fort, so all our military tradition can be traced back to him. One of them became the head of commerce of the kingdom. Super important character, acting mostly in the shadows.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll rewrite the dialogs when I have more energy

I have no problem with non-idiomatic phrases when they're used in exotic settings. If that line were in (choose metropolitan area) I'd agree, but I think it's fine how it is. Text in the bottom right speech bubble needs a little alignment though, but other than that I like the style and framing a lot.

I've done speedpaints and stuff and that can be fun, like a mix of observing and applying skills I've been working on. The chibi cuties aren't necessarily unserious so much as a logical endpoint of me trying to optimize a lot of art that I do to get the most "me" look onto the canvas as efficiently and elegantly as possible—it's not like I sacrifice the years of lifedrawing and anatomy to make those, it's just not as easily apparent because it's so stylized.

I want to say that a well-realized style is usually an indicator of loads and loads of traditional, practical artistic knowledge, and the style is generally based on the demand of whatever field they choose to work in or be aligned to.

I started off my journey with a little more realistic take on manga styling since that's what I was reading at the time (and it wasn't a huge leap from my actual studies and practice sessions), but the demands for the stories and things I was actually creating steered me towards the juxtaposition of cutesy faces, plump figures, and unusually detailed machinery to go along with it. It was just a natural fit for me because of the trend towards looser, dynamic figures that still have their mass vs. the stiffer ones I used to draw.

The day I learnt that is the day that ended my artistic childhood :') I think the stylization process has to come on top of the usual training. You got to learn how to draw in general,then learn how to stylize... it takes more time, not less as I was thinking when I started.

I'm still looking for my style after ten years of practice... the fact I'm self taught from absolute scratch means I don't have any solid understanding of what the rules are for this or that style, and what style goes with this or that public, and I feel like I'm swimming in honey when it comes to popularize my stuff...

Well I had (still have technically) one opportunity I know would work, where there is near unlimited paying demand, but at this point I am absolutely certain I don't want to do that. Doesn't match my vibes, so at this point I'm left to experiment until I find something that works both for me and the public

Yeah that's more or less how it works—it's most efficient to build a solid foundation before going all-in on stylizing. It's not a path that has to be taken, but it's the best for most people.

In any case, the work you've done today is pretty swell looking, I like the panel comp a lot  ;)

Sweet bots. Is that some Warframe I'm seeing in between there? You should do more of those, love that bio-mecha aesthetic.

Don't know if you're up for some unsolicited advice but... don't be afraid of blocking in blacks and establishing a establishing a shadow border, especially in mecha. Often a single block of black is worth considering when doing those deep shadows like in between plates of armor or on the other side of a lightsource etc. Beats having to do a billion lines of hatching when a stroke of black can achieve the same result, and theres still midtones to worry about. It also helps establish a greater sense of depth and atmosphere in the image.

Also, take care of not leaving patches of white between shadows (like on the 9th pic), gotta keep a consistent depth with those shadows man. Get a pen brush for shadows and lineweights; works good and feels great to work with once you get familiar with it. Helps to get those solid black lines out like a professional and sometimes I like to pretend that I am one.

Have you tried prismacolors or copic markers to color? I picked an off-brand set of 20ish colors a few months ago for ~$50 and it's been a pretty good investment. I don't do traditional or colors as much though.

Also, I've been absent from this forum for a good 4 years and it's good to be back and see some old names still active. Here's some stuff I did, dumb sketches and stuff.

Sweet bots. Is that some Warframe I'm seeing in between there? You should do more of those, love that bio-mecha aesthetic.

Don't know if you're up for some unsolicited advice but... don't be afraid of blocking in blacks and establishing a establishing a shadow border, especially in mecha. Often a single block of black is worth considering when doing those deep shadows like in between plates of armor or on the other side of a lightsource etc. Beats having to do a billion lines of hatching when a stroke of black can achieve the same result, and theres still midtones to worry about. It also helps establish a greater sense of depth and atmosphere in the image.

Also, take care of not leaving patches of white between shadows (like on the 9th pic), gotta keep a consistent depth with those shadows man. Get a pen brush for shadows and lineweights; works good and feels great to work with once you get familiar with it. Helps to get those solid black lines out like a professional and sometimes I like to pretend that I am one.

Have you tried prismacolors or copic markers to color? I picked an off-brand set of 20ish colors a few months ago for ~$50 and it's been a pretty good investment. I don't do traditional or colors as much though.

Also, I've been absent from this forum for a good 4 years and it's good to be back and see some old names still active. Here's some stuff I did, dumb sketches and stuff.

snip

Nah man, always happy to recieve feedback :)

I actually have a brush pen (did use it in no 9 there) but I'm still struggling with massive blocks of value since I feel I don't have as much control there, whereas hatching allows gradation. Still, mostly an issue of confidence and lack of practice with consolidating shapes and values for better read.
Also I've not had the chance to try Copics, but I'd love to since they look really fun and versatile. That last image was a combination of four rather different things, a G-tec pen for black, a ball-point for blue, a fine-liner for red and  a random highlighter for yellow X) Work with what you've got I guess.

Your colouring isn't that bad, honestly. It gives a bit of a watercolour impression, though she's a bit on the yellow side, making her look a little ill. You might want to use some slightly more earthen skin tones (unless it was intentional, that is, in which case, please feel free to ignore my advice ^^).

For clean lines, you need to either learn to draw long, flowing lines in one go, or cheat (like I tend to do), zoom in, use a thicker brush, and just overlap millions of short lines until they look like a single unbroken line.
In either case, layers are your friend : keep your current lines, decrease the opacity of their layer, add another one on top, and try to refine them on the new layer. Rinse and repeat (or delete and repeat) until satisfied. Then you can just hide the scruffy-line-layer(s) and enjoy nice, clean lines :)

It loooooks like you're drawing lines using your wrist. That's tempting and works for short lines, but makes them wiggly when you have to draw longer ones. Instead, practice drawing from your elbow and shoulder - hold your hand perfectly steady, and sweep your entire arm and forearm. The longer lever of your arm will naturally smooth out the janky little twitches and give you much prettier lines.

If you want a hilarious way of practicing it, clench your stylus in your fist like a pre-schooler and draw like that. It forces you to draw from the arm since you can't use your arm. :P


There is lots of cool stuff and I have read all of it, but I don't have time to individually comment on all of it. @_@ Keep up the good work all you all.

It's a perfectly valid concern, but I think your tablet would have to be something like 3x4 inches for it to come up, haha (that's the largest area I can comfortably draw a straightish line across with just my wrist). What is true is that full-arm movements with the shoulder don't come up as much in digital art as they would in, say, traditional oil portraits, partly because you can zoom out and draw with smaller movements to the same effect. Which is also a great hack for drawing smooth lines!

I don't know that I would recommend the way I do hair to anyone D: But it's actually relatively simple. I block out the colour with a rough brush (you can see it at the end of his hair), sweep in basic locks and highlights with the same brush, and work down brush sizes and smothnesses down to a small hard brush for picking out the escaping strands. I feel like I over-rendered the hair here, actually. There probably shouldn't be so much detail visible outside of the little highlights.

Yeah, I can't really use my shoulder/elbow because my table is too small :/

I just kinda guessed randomly with the colors, and the water colour part was, well, because I used the water colour brush :P I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to use, or what each tool looks like.

When I'm drawing long lines, I typically don't have anything touching my desk. :P The side of my hand brushes against my tablet, but that's all. You shouldn't need to rest your elbow on the table.

As for colours...

I highly recommend doing some research on colour theory. There is a lot to colouring, and you can often limp through just winging it, but knowing all the parts is incredibly useful and important.

This is potentially going to sound dickish, but I'm going to say it anyway: only practicing drawing in an anime style is going to stunt your artistic ability. It's said a lot, but I realised while trying to figure out what advice to give you on colouring that a big chunk of it would be "draw working very closely from a photo reference". That's not necessarily achievable working only in a very stylised way. Drawing in a more realistic style will really, really help you get a stronger intuitive grasp of what colours go where, how things cast shadows, and how to simplify things down to lines.

That said, there's nothing wrong with the anime style. You just do need to know that stylisation should be informed by a strong understanding of the basis you're stylising!

On the topic of brushes, my inclination is to say do whatever you like. Try brushes, see what works for you, see what you think gets you good results. It's almost entirely a matter of personal preference.

Yeah, I get ya. I had some difficulty with being confident with my lines as well, but a good part of powering through that roadblock is just me going 'fuck it' and just winging it. I went crazy with shadows, blocking it in everywhere and in every piece I did, learning what works and trying not to cringe too hard at what absolutely didn't. I also did a piece where I tried working backwards by doing shadows first and wow what a waste of ink that was.

BUT the important thing is that I learnt something from that. It helped me figure certain things about silhouettes and mood setting with lighting which would definitely take me much longer if I just played it safe. I got all the benefit of being tossed into the deep end without the slight inconvenience of drowning and being dead. Because really, if you think about it there is no tangible consequence to failure in art, just that deep seated shame that every artist is afraid of. And that's just it. A feeling. Once you realise and come to peace with it, you're pretty much unstoppable.

 If you view each painting or piece you do as a stepping stone to greater things, you wouldn't be as afraid of screwing up; making mistakes is a vital part of learning after all. Don't be afraid to experiment and see what works. Be curious enough to try everything and learn. You shouldn't be afraid of failure, but still be cognizant enough to recognize it and be interested to know why it did.

A person smarter than me once said "If you draw something with enough confidence, no matter how it turns out you'll make others believe in it too". To this day I still believe that wholeheartedly. If you put enough conviction into your works it really does shine through. Case in point, the guy who drew the OPM webcomic and Mob 100, ONE. His earlier works frankly look absolutely terrible, but he still wasn't afraid to push his drawings even then, and I ended up being taken on this wild ride even with his sub-par skills. You can see him trying new things every time with poses, angles and backgrounds in his panels, and now his works actually look pretty decent.

I ended up going on a massive tangent here but what I'm trying to say is, don't ever let a lack of confidence or skill turn you down from drawing what you want to. Anyone can be a skilled artist if they just don't let the fear of failure get to them. Easier said than done, for sure, but it's something to think about nonetheless.

The hatching took me quite a while to figure; pored though Vagabond, Berserk and other Seinen mangas with similar aesthetic and mood and studied how they did their lines. Most of them can instill such movement and energy in their panels just with proper hatching. Mine is still messy, but it's a step in the right direction at least.

Thank you. I got lucky and managed to recover the high poly. The only problem now is that it's so high poly Maya crashes when I try to do anything with it. That and both it and the low poly version don't have UVs for some reason, and since both the low and high poly objects need to share textures, it would probably be easier to redo the high poly anyways. More opportunity to practice Z-Brush, I guess.

Me too but Im just one guy... and my attempt to work with others so far has been like, quite unfortunate. I'd have to hire animators and voice actors and be dependant on each of them to put in the work, and would have to abandon the project should a single one resign, its not viable. Maybe on a smaller project, but not on that juggernaught (150 pictures produced omg) :D

In the other hand you'll have a lil webcomic that's already something !

Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Shook on April 27, 2018, 03:52:17 pm
Krita (https://krita.org/en/) is my software of choice when it comes to drawing, although Gimp features better editing (for now). Nobody's saying you can't use them both for separate purposes, of course. :v
As for tips, the number one thing is that you need to arm yourself with patience; getting used to a tablet, even a display one, can take a while (possibly weeks), and things are going to feel and look off until then. As the happy owner of an XP-Pen Artist 10s, though, i can confirm that a display tablet you've gotten used to is AMAZING, so it's well worth the effort! As a secondary plus, the motions translate more easily between tablet and pencil. Otherwise the same tips as for most other types of pen(cil) drawing apply here, but note that digital drawing usually doesn't lend itself well to "slow and steady" lines, at least not in my experience. Relatively fast sweeps tend to produce the cleanest lines, but nailing that with precision is tricky as hell. :P
Oh yeah also, abuse the fact that you can mirror your drawing easily, as that lets you spot flaws much more easily.

For every editor, you'll probably never use MOST of the stuff, honestly, when it comes to these kinds of programs the best way to learn is pretty much to learn it when you need it. It's just a slow accumulation of knowledge on what does what and how certain options affect the image.

Late to the party but yeah. I have an H610 pro and Krita works fine with it since the driver update sometime about a year ago (or longer). The main thing you need to know is layers, and there's a million tutorials about that pretty much anywhere. If your palm sticks to the surface, there are tablet gloves available for cheap. Huion even makes their own, which is a little lycra thing that works just fine for me.

Layers are magical.  Undo button and layer usage are the two simplest, yet most drastic advantages of digital art over physical.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: SigurnFonShnaps on April 29, 2018, 05:51:20 am
I use several editors. In Photoshop it is convenient to work with layers but it's hard to get used to mixing brushes but it's easier to create an original brush or texture. PaintToolSai a convenient mix of brushes is an easy program and suitable for sketches. MyPaint is convenient for sketches and convenient hot keys (unlike many editors, you can change its size and density right during the stroke) (free license). Manga Studio is a very powerful editor, in my opinion it is very similar to the patented picture but more advanced (it is possible to create templates, brushes, textures, it is possible to use the three-dimensional model of a person to select the desired angle and make a sketch or see the proportions from this angle). I am personally use Photoshop, the most advanced editor I know, two big drawbacks - you need to get used to it, and it's not free.

This is incredible, the colors are amazing, the lighting and the dew on his skin is awesome.

However, it looks like his eyes aren't the same size, and a little too big in general but you could probably overlook that. The ear is also very big, and it looks like it's too high on his head!

As a rule of thumb in anything art related : if they come with you with the money in hand, they are good to go and you can mark them as reliable customers. If they make you jump through hoops promising you cash in the long run, that's likely a scam. Don't respond.

CGTrader is a company running an online 3D model marketplace of the same name. The online platform allows designers and modeling studios to upload and either sell or share their 3D models with the community. Developers and designers can then buy these 3D models for further use in both commercial and non-commercial projects. The models are split into three major categories: 3D computer graphics, 3D printing ready, and low poly (used in games and augmented reality/virtual reality apps).
Sounds like they're a middle man, not a buyer. So yes, you can advertise your stuff there and it miiiiight get bought, but they won't do it themselves.

Edit: Whoops, misread. If they're interested in buying it, then doesn't sound too bad I guess. But I've no experience to relate on the matter - I thought you were saying the company would buy them.

Also, another thing that might be important to you : know and read the intellectual property laws of your country, so you know what you are selling. For exemple, where I am, even if I were to sell you my stuff, I would as the artist, remain the sole intellectual owner of my art, and would just sell you the permission to use it - I litterally cannot sell or give my intellectual property.

I believe you have a art teacher and I would dearly recommend you to seek council to him before embarking in that kind of stuff

I know a bit. I'll have to do some research. Right now, there's nothing I can sell even if I did want to go through with this. While I can give my stuff out for free, I'm on student licenses, so I can't make any money off anything I've made so far.

Alright. In general, if it's too good to be true, it's probably not true and the internet is filled with sharks that target young artists who don't know their rights, so be super careful and again, if you can ask a pro, it's the best course of action

Did a couple beginner tutorials for Blender yesterday (a cup, another cup, and a cloth falling into a bowl), and felt like doing something by myself. It being May the 4th, I figured I'd try to make a lightsaber.

First I spent two hours crafting the model and fiddling with Blender Render
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I decided to switch to the Cycles Render and fiddled with it for an other two hours.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After a little break, I image searched for Blender-made lightsabers, and felt like my lightsaber still needed some work. I skimmed through a lightsaber tutorial video for some tips, and spent another two hours adding a little ring to the pommel, making the beam look better, and figuring out how to get a better picture.

I feel like I could fiddle with it for few more hours, but I've decided not to touch it again today :D (and if I ever decide to make a lightsaber again, I think I'll make a bit fancier handle...)

Just a little WIP to show Im not dead and the....ehm... "webcomic"? is still going on. I'll probably end up with 20-30 pages in the end. Maybe a lil more. This is page 12

Draw them faintly with blue/yellow/pale colored pencils.

That way even if they wont rub out, you can easily remove them in Photoshop/gimp/whatever.

Psst; the way you made the computer is not allowed in one point perspective. One point perspective only distorts one axis (X, Y or Z) and leaves the other two perpendicular. If you want to use two point perspective  you need to distort two axis consistantly and most importantly, have the two vanishing points on the horizon line :U

Your vanishing points are the only friends you can really trust and who will never betray you to get with a hot chick

The rest is good tho

Oh, it's been some time since I was formally taught anything, but I remember learning that, in order to rotate an object in space (like the monitor) you can create another vanishing point on the same horizon that applies only to that object. That vanishing points are for objects that are squared relative to one another. This might've been a lazy-person shortcut, but is this not the case?
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Darkmere on May 11, 2018, 03:40:01 pm
One-point perspective isn't useful for much besides a practice tool - nothing in real life is going to be that perfectly aligned with the horizon plane and all that. Every object is going to have its own VP's and honestly you're only trying to get to a point where you can estimate those pretty well in your head.

The monitor specifically would only work that way IF the top/bottom edgewise panels are flat and completely parallel to the plane of the floor.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Cathar on May 11, 2018, 05:16:44 pm
One point perspective is useful for action scenes, or scenes that implies stuff like camera forward motions, or to serve as an indicator of where the viewer should look. One point perspective is super useful for scenes with a lot of punch to them. It does not mimic the human perception but it creates pictures with a lot of power in them.
Else I often use one point perspective in scenes where the background is not important and I want to draw quick, else I usually go for two point perspective. Three point perspective is something very specialized I only use for establishing shots. At least that's how I do things.

As for vanishing points being object related ;  no (and of that I'm absolutely certain). Vanishing points depend of the viewer. That's why on 1P and 2P, they always are located on the line of horizon, at the level of the camera. In one point perspective, the vanishing point is basically where the camera is pointing. Hold on I'll draw a quick mini tutorial

Edit : Here we go

Edit 2 : Also

(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/419808393935585280/444651092849197056/unknown.png)

Also as a side note I'm not formally taught, so I have to go through a lot of trial and error, so you might actually be right over me... altho I think the screen would make more sense in a two point perspective (and the other vanishing point should also be located on the line of horizon)

Here, the page is finished. Every type of perspective has been tried (aside isometric which does not make sense in a comic) (respectively : 3P 1P 1P 1P 2P)

As for vanishing points being object related ;  no (and of that I'm absolutely certain). Vanishing points depend of the viewer.
I disagree; vanishing points depend on parallel lines (or the lack thereof), and they are fixed points on the horizon for such lines (provided that the object doesn't rotate). If you take the classic 2 point cube and rotate it around its vertical axis (without you moving with it), that would shift the vanishing points along the horizon. If you rotate it on one of the two other axes, it's going to make one of the points leave the horizon and/or tilt it. It's true that all parallel lines share the same vanishing point, but if they're not parallel, they don't converge.

Spoiler: also example (click to show/hide)

Nevermind that converging/diverging lines convolute this even further. :V
THAT SAID, i won't claim that lining things up is a bad idea, it makes your life a shit ton easier if you don't have to draw 2 vanishing points for every surface in your drawing, and having a lot of implied lines converging in the same area makes for a powerful focal point. Thankfully for our sanity, most human structures have a lot of parallel lines. :P

sneakedit: Reading your examples a bit more closely, what you did with "imaginary" cubes around rotated ones is a very clever way to make sure things don't look janky, but note that the actual cube inside it still has its own vanishing points.

All that besides, comic's looking great!

> but note that the actual cube inside it still has its own vanishing points.

No no no
Okay, I have big trouble to explain what I want to say.

The vanishing points depend on the viewer. They are the vanishing points of the axis of the planes. Once you have drawn your planes with the help of the vanishing points, you can place your items on it as you want. A sphere doesnt have lines for exemple, but it will fit on a 3D plane, and to draw the 3D plane, you need to use your vanishing points.

I'll draw another, clearer exemple tomorrow, but the vanishing points are absolute.

The bottom line is : once you have your vanishing point, you have to always trust it. He will never betray you and knows better than the human eye. Don't make more points as you go along, it doesn't work like that

>All that besides, comic's looking great!
Thank you :D

Post by: Shook on May 12, 2018, 07:05:27 am
I think get what you mean, it's like the global X-Y-Z axes of a 3D modeling program, but even then, every object still has its own local axes and vanishing points (again, similar to 3D programs; set motion to absolute, and it moves along the global axes, while relative motion moves it along its own axes). It is absolutely a good idea to keep the global lines in mind at all times for all the reasons you mentioned, i'm probably just being pedantic about the definition of vanishing points. The main problem arises when none of the lines of the object inside the projected cube line up with the global vanishing points, which makes it difficult to place the corners accurately. In a sense, i guess it's mostly just down to how you prefer working. I'm not going to deny that if you do make local VP's for every object, it's going to be a clusterfuck without peer. :P

Also, regarding circles, do remember that precisely because they have no actual lines, they could be drawn from any pair of perpenticular vanishing points. :v (not that i'd recommend doing so if it's not strictly necessary)

Yup. I'd been drawing satyrs for a couple of days, practising facial expressions and the like, in preparation for another piece that I have in mind. Then, as I was returning to my sketchbook over lunch break, I just kinda felt like doing something a bit different, and jumped to sci-fi for a change ^^
There's probably a lot that can be improved, I'm still pretty unfamiliar with anything post-17th century.

2nd pixelart practice - came up eyebrow first so I rolled again in the E's, then eastern... then egret.  So.. I made an eastern egret with an eyebrow.
I... didn't know exactly what to do with the animation so I think... hes waving or something? I dunno. No re-egrets.

Modeling came up classical architecture and I ended up on the Parthenon... and then I delayed actually working on it for awhile, and then decided to just get a column done in the 1 hour timeframe I had (and then started work on an Ionic column as well but ran out of time).   Before I get started next time I really need to setup a default 3-point lighting system).

Also... worked on and off all week on this thing: something to slot into for a UI panel for my game for an inactive player in Multiplayer that captured the spirit of my game.  I kinda got carried away...
Not exactly purely pixelart cause I gave up on doing it purely pixelart halfway (and would have to hella work on it to make a palette that I think I'm going to pass on), but still lowish res.  Also, I need more practice anyway.

...Well. CS2 is available on adobe's website and does not require activation. But you are right, adobe never said it was free. They were like "okay we're discontinued support so we don't activate CS2 online anymore. If you bought the software click this link to download a preactivated version". Also it was free to activate before it happened in 2015.

Since then, the page providing the links and keys have been taken down, but the links and keys themselves still work.
This french page (https://www.eoxia.com/photoshop-et-illustrator-cs2-complet-gratuit-et-legalement) copy pasted the information adobe provided, to download old softwares directly from adobe's website.

The links work regardless and are legal to click if you bought CS2, but it is important you do not click them if you havent bought CS2 or else it would be piracy and it is very bad.

Have another wip to make for that understandable mistake

Post by: Cathar on May 24, 2018, 11:05:10 am
Well, it's not free per say. It's...ehm... "complicated". In 2015, Adobe gave CS2 for free to activate for a short time, then shut down the activation server, then released the preactivated versions for people who have bought it. Now it's still downloadable but doesn't appear in the front page of their website anymore, but the links they give back in 2015 are still active.

When confronted about it with a direct question ("is it free or not?"), staff members dodged the question and just answered they made preactivated versions, complete with universal keys for people that bought the product. But they released the preactivated version and the keys publicly, leaving everyone to come to their own conclusion.

Now the version provided along with the key still work, but Adobe never said they were free.

I don't want to give false infos so, that's all I could fetch and verify. What people do with this information is their responsability :D

Him lying in that position on his face in the last panel doesn't seem to correspond with how he'd collapse from the position he's in on the third panel. If he then passes straight out he'd fall more diagonally because of the position of his right leg.

Thanks guys, most of that stuff is kinda old at this point, been in something of a rut for the past several weeks for various reasons. Think it's mostly over now, or I'm just powering trough it somehow. Either way, have a horribly mangled Do335 because my perspective is rusty and I still suck at properly proportioning things xD

Chainmail is always worn over a thick padded gambeson. To not do so is to invite terrible chafing and pinching, and terrible bruises and broken bones if you ever do get hit.

if you feel like coloring it, go ahead, be my guest. I might have a higher resolution scan of the picture on my computer, but am not completely sure if I managed to save it with other stuff after my old computer dropped dead (I do have the original somewhere with my other papers, though).

I always wondered, why do comic artist ink some portions of their work pitchblack? Don't that hinder the color work later on? How do you work that out, do you leave that black or do you digitally rework those parts?

Also, have a little WIP

I'll try to answer even though I haven't drawn comics and neither am a professional inker.

With my own art I first try to make it work as a black & white picture. If it works that way, great, won't be a problem if I'm too lazy to color it. The big blacks don't usually hinder the coloring later on - especially with some planning before - and it's quite easy to soften up the black digitally, if necessary. It really depends on the picture and what you're trying to accomplish as the final piece (if I'm unsure of my skills I usually don't ink big black parts as it's so easy to botch the whole piece with it and make the viewers eyes hurt with a cacophonic mish-mash of black & white).

Also, nice work with the colors in your picture!

You're not a pro? I assume you're at least formally taught right ?
...right?

No seriously this is awesome. Looks extremely professional.
I'm asking because I see a lot of pros doing exactly that and I don't really understand the rationale behind that. Tho it makes sense if you do not plan to color it, the pros I'm watching do this aswell, then proceed to color those inks. This is a bit puzzling to me but there must be a reason

On other news, that's finished. I have no idea of what I'll do with that comic at this point, but something in me just wants to work for the sake of it

Nah, never really liked school (unfortunately) so I didn't apply to any art schools even though my friends/family/teachers tried to encourage me to do so. I've been pretty much inking pictures since a kid so I've had plenty of time to practice (I did have a period in my life when I didn't do anything art related for around ten years as I didn't find time for it). I've also studied carefully the works of my favourite artists/inkers and tried to figure out how they use their ink. It took some time to find a style which works for me and that I'm satisfied with.

Anyway, to stay on topic, here's a couple of color pictures (from 2013?):

I always find it fascinating how you colour your pages, going over one character fully (shading included) before moving to the rest. Is there a pragmatic reason for that, or is it just a matter of personal preference?
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Cathar on July 02, 2018, 03:33:09 am
It's a bit of both ^^

First of all, for me it goes quicker, and when drawing comics this is a significant factor, second, I want my characters to be more detailed than the background so they attract the eye more easily, and third, it gives me more leeway when I finalize the picture. I basically save my individual characters as dynamic objects, then I do a bit of post prod to make their colors fit into the page. I do not shy away from adding more highlights and shadows once they are splashed into the page, so the result comes out more harmoniously

I know very well that pros do not do that, but again I'm not formally taught I expended upon what worked for me and developped my style organically, like that.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: karhell on July 02, 2018, 03:42:35 am
That does make sense, and as long as it works for you, who cares what the pros do? :)

(I might actually give that method a try... Who knows? Maybe it'll work better than my usual "colour ALL THE THINGS then get discouraged because it looks so flat, leave it on hiatus for a week, then come back and try to remember how the zog the light works" ^^)
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Cathar on July 02, 2018, 04:11:33 am
Oh yeah, leaving one's comfort zone is always good, even if you don't stick with the method you might learn from it. Also...the resistance, it's the artist's worst enemy.

(Tho if you are going with this method I suggest you have a basic sketch of the whole scene laid out before drawing the individual characters, so when you splash the character onto the scene they are consistant with the camera)

Post by: Cathar on July 03, 2018, 07:07:09 am
Oh, it's not a part of the sheath, it's a super heavy weak of the blade. Basically a blunt part of the blade you can use to parry or as a grip to halfsword with.

I usually put some metal at the end of my sheaths, but since that sword is super makeshift, it's plain wood. Tho it had a rope attached to it and mysteriously disapeared a few pages ago, nobody knows where it is

Oh, yeah, that probably needs some explaining. Long story short: I made a poster for a couple of friends yearly party and at the previous party some drunken guys had decided to have a wrestling match naked. So it's a reference to that. :)

/me returns to the drawing board and initiates a training montage


More seriously, that's an absolutely awesome quick doodle. Pose is crystal-clear, lighting is spot-on :)
Just a minor design complaint in that the poleyns (knee protection) look riveted (screwed, actually?) to the cuisses with no way to articulate, but eh. That's just armour-geekery speaking up ^^
also dorf smiths don't need no physics getting in the way of aesthetics :P

Oh yeah, that. Well. I kinda want to have a realistic-ish feel to my comics/AAR (she's Haspen's daughter in Mong Kima) but since it's based off DF, we need to take some liberties I suppose
Like, two handed swords made of bronze. That is pretty much a nope due to the softness of the material relative to steel (a long bronze blade would bend very easily, especially on contact with armor, shields or other blades)... So even tho I aim for something plausible, a bit of physic defying designs fits in the context

Tho you're right I should have done my research :D

Also yes, this is a doodle because it's done under an hour, and it's neither inked nor colored. I do this kind of things to chill out ^^

In case anyone is interested, I made a new prototype for a game for a class assignment. It's very early, I'm just testing out some basic mechanics but I'd appreciate feedback or playtest reports. I currently have it up on itch.io.

I'll reiterate that it is a very basic prototype, I haven't even added sound effects yet. I spent about 9 hours on this so far.

There is a link to a playtest form on the itch.io page. If you can't use the unity web player for whatever reason and are interested in trying it, PM me and I'll send you a build and link to the form.

LINK: https://ticktockbent.itch.io/particle-blaster (https://ticktockbent.itch.io/particle-blaster)

I have some higher aspirations for this project if I can solve some niggling issues and expand my knowledge a bit.

So I tried it. Original blue atoms split into red atoms, but blue atoms that randomly appear do not. Dunno if it's intended. It looks great tho

https://ticktockbent.itch.io/particle-blaster
I played a few levels and it seems very playable, please keep posting your progress!

Criticisms, wishes, and bugs:
- Right clicking gives you points and you can do it forever, so if you want you could just keep clicking and earning points.
- I hope there are some ways the right click magnet ability can be made more challenging or interesting to use on its use, if you're patient you can beat the only level in one shot very consistently by clicking until the atoms are all in a big ball. Maybe it'll be better when there are obstacles.
- Looks like the quit buttons in the title menu, escape menu, and next level menu don't work, and left clicking while the escape or end of level menu is open makes the shot sound effect and decreases your shot counter. A retry or restart button would be nice if that fits with the design intent.
- I would like it if there was a volume slider or mute button since the sound effects get pretty obnoxious while you're playing, or swapping them for some calmer, softer sounds.
- I think it would also make sense to give the player bonus points for each shot they didn't use, or some other reward for being efficient. Maybe shots you don't use should carry into the next level?

Once it has more levels or behaviors I would want to try playing again.

The right clicking for points thing, known issue. The right click ability was limited in use but I had to revert that for another reason. It will eventually be part of a powerup/ability system and will have limited use.

Regarding quit buttons: The game was developed as a windows build and within unity the function for quitting (application.quit) has no effect when running as a webapp. You can't 'quit' a website after all. I suppose you could close it but embedded webapps can't close pages to my knowledge. I've altered it to drop you back to the main menu in my local build.

The sounds were a quick addition, I'll be sure to add a volume slider when I put in an options menu. Sorry!

Good idea on the bonus points per shot. The score wasn't intended to be the main focus, added mostly to give the prototype some purpose, but for now that would work well. Eventually I plan to have a storyline and some progression to this, as well as multi-chamber levels with objectives.

Thanks again for looking at it, I love getting feedback and outside opinions. Sometimes when you're developing stuff you get tunnel vision.

A bug; no matter how many shots you do have in level, it always shows '3'.

EDIT: Another one; when I used magnet ability when the 'you lost!' popup showed up, and restarted, the next game was 'automatically' lost, but I didn't even shoot once.

WIP for the outskirts/service entrance/import-export area of a Dwarven City. Trying to be productive and do a little work every day, build up to a better output.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The now-abandoned fortress-city of Sranü-Zkidan was once famed for its "stone forests", both natural and artificial. Pictured here is the city's Western entrance--an "upstream" waterway that siphons some of the water from the aboveground marsh-vale into the Deep Lake, once the source for clean water, fishing, and industrial hauling for the entire city.

NOT PICTURED: A bunch of Dwarf constructions and buildings.

To the West: The Forests of Stone,
To the South: The Corrupted Forest,
To the East: The Halls of the City, The Palace, and The Great Rift,
To the North: The Stone Sea.

Beneath the city lies the ruins of many older settlements and extensive mining shafts, both of which now harbor only a sea of corpses.

Too many pages without action, but some's coming. Lil WIP, will be finished n the next couple hours

Also Erith is a drunk dwarf I found in a hillock and he was really, really, really talkative in game. He was arguing about godamn everything, all the time, while having absolutely no knowledge about any topic nor any skill. Best companion ever. Also unlike my other "joke" companions, this one became good and useful really, really quick

It should be "To keep my village afloat".
"My hillocks are" rather than "My hillocks is"
And probably "can't stand those guys" rather than that he can't smell them, which is... quite different.

Changed the dialogs a bit, because after rereading it came off as more spiteful than intended, as I'd like Erith to be a self aware idiot more than someone who blames the world for his upcomings, hope its okay now

Damn Sigurn,

You are so good at faces.

Question: Do you just draw 100 random faces or is there some method to your madness?

I need a lot of training to get away from the same faces. (usually the differences are achieved due to the nature of  traits (for example, the nose is big or small, straight or snub nose) large small eyes, the distance between the eyes, the face oval) The most important thing in my opinion is that certain traits fit a certain character. (<--it was done by Google translator)

Since I'm already here, here's a wip of a Tundra Titan from one of my old worlds named 'Roseruthless', who I'm still ironing out the design and etc of, along with their description.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Side note : I'd be more accurate to current reconstructions in terms of how the 'fat' and what have are placed, but making the body more lithe and longer allowed me to fit all the legs Roseruthless had better. Also, drawing gold and making it not look like brass is hard.

It is kind of a lazy joke so I could have just ignored it or accepted it as a part of the character, but it doesn't help that you decided to call attention to it and then provide some uncomfortable context.

I'm very proud of my red letter mind you. Also the problem in trolling stupid people is they don't pick up subtle clues. Smart people are easier to anger because they have an understanding of what's going on, but they also are not the kind of people I'm aiming at.

Think about that joke as a practical joke. The punchline is not "dick", the punchline is the real life people getting thrown into a frenzy because of it

Question for comic-y artists out here: Do you guys draw the characters or the environments first?
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Cathar on August 11, 2018, 04:42:30 pm
It totally depends on your method. What I usually do is :

1°) Draw the 3D grid
2°) Draw basic shapes of both environment and characters (they are part of the same picture and need to be thought as such)
3°) Refine each character individually
4°) Refine the environment

That is unless I want to rush things, in that case I make no distinction between characters and environment and just draw it as a single unit

Edit : Have a page in its earliest sharable WIP state, if it can help

That's a method of constructing figures and also of constructing scenes. It's very useful to figure out the boundaries of a subject before you start doing details otherwise you're quite likely to make mistakes like realizing you haven't given yourself enough space to show limbs or clothing elements that you want in the scene.

It's even more important when you're working with traditional media to plan effectively. Frequently when I'm sketching I find myself running out of room if I start with the torso and oops, I don't have enough space and now the head is cut off by the edge of my paper...

Post by: Cathar on August 12, 2018, 09:01:47 am
Yes, basically this. As far as I know, a page is basically a single, huge, complex drawing, as opposed to a collection of single unrelated pannel, and has to be planned as a whole.
Because I want it to look sharper, my characters are drawn on a larger canvas, then resized to fit their pannel, but to maintain the cohesion of the page, every single character has to be placed roughly on the board before I can go on refining them.

If it makes sense ?

I have friends that go further than that and plan their whole comics like that, before they do any inking. But I tried this method, and I realized it made me feel discouraged and the experience was not enjoyable (my brain usually runs wild as I draw, I get new ideas all the time, and I prefer to draw in a way that allow me to express that). That said, some artists do want more or less planning, so whats important is finding the balance that works best for you.

Also nice to see more of your art, Parsely. Not sure who is hunting who in that picture tho :D

Greyscale blocking is also used to lay out values for composition, which I'd say is actually its most important use.

On your finished page, first panel: "Is this Asuciro castle?"

In the last panel, 'let' is not a comfortable fit to condense this concept of "We don't [have a policy that would] expect / force / permit travelers to remain in the wild after sunset." I think the most natural solution here is to use a positive verb: "Of course we will shelter travelers from the wild after sunset." (The 'will' is optional and I think more expressive of an eager / glad attitude: "Of course we shelter travelers" says the same thing but sounds more as if it is fundamentally obvious, a fact taken for granted by the speaker.)

Also auto-correct just changed to a single L in travelers, so there you go.

After reading a sizable portion of the amazing Animator's Survival Kit, I decided to take a crack at an extremely simple rotation of a character from a script I wrote (and one of my stories I will forever work on).

The Knight looks pretty nice.

I'm attempting to sprite with... no experience whatsoever, and I ended up with this.

It's supposed to be a sprite for an object that, when activated, changes whether blue or red sand floors are useable.

Post by: IndigoFenix on August 20, 2018, 12:30:42 am
I'm not entirely sure what it's supposed to be.  An hourglass?

You can make things look a more 3-dimensional by adding some shading. Usually if you want something to look round and like it "sticks out" you put some dark shading around the edges and light pixels in the middle. If it is meant to be "indented" you do the opposite.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Kamani on August 20, 2018, 12:33:19 am
Yeah. In retrospect, I have literally no clue at all why it is an hourglass. I should probably toss this and go with something that makes sense instead.

I'd do so (and actually originally attempted to), but I really am not good at this. How do people actually learn how to do this anyway?
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: IndigoFenix on August 20, 2018, 02:02:51 am
Usually what I'll do is open up a sprite of something similar to what it is I'm drawing and copy it freehand, or using a sprite I drew earlier as a guide.  Not close enough to perfectly replicate it, but enough to get a feel for where shading ought to go.

I say you should just jump into the water. It feels cold cause you're just dipping your toes in it. Once you're set, it's easier.

Just draw something like, ten pages with a beggining and an end. Don't plan it before hand, don't ink or color afterward. Just go through the ten pages.

Also...37% done

Your stuff is great and inspiring, love the steampunk vibe. I'll sound like a broken clock but I'd really like to see a project, however small, get totally finished. You really don't need to think big. Three pages can be enough to have a beggining, a story and an end.

I'll have something for you this week end

in my ADHD fueled comic rage, I decided to go back to one of my earliest projects. It's short. 12-20 pages roughly. And I am very stoked to work on it. I roughed out the first 6 pages. I plan to fully finish this comic. Woot.

*And yes, I am terrible sorry for my chicken-scratch handwriting and misspellings.
**Literally hit a (figurative) wall at the end of this so sorry the skeleton is bonkers messed up in the last panel.

Part of the reason I don't like Mr. Plague Man is that I spent... three? Four? hours variously doodling and trying to make something stick and ended up with a rough finished product, when I know I can knock out a much nicer piece (in terms of rendering and brushwork, anyway) in the same time or less.

Made a game with a small team for Ludum Dare 42. Simple little turn-based puzzler, based around a dungeon full of colorful Jelly Cubes: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/$107125 (https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/$107125). It's been over a year since I completed a game jam game, and I'm really glad to have gotten back into it! Was pretty pleased with what we got done content-wise in 72 hours, too. The link has a walkthrough video that demos the basic puzzle mechanics, if folks are into that thing but not so much playing the game.

I was mostly responsible for UX stuff, aesthetics, plus a bit of input on core game mechanics, and one or two tutorial rooms. Also made a tune for the game! https://clyp.it/fedkhg1w (https://clyp.it/fedkhg1w)

Definitely want to get back into doing jams more often.

Life can get crazy so it's important to remember to take some time out to focus on yourself. That's why this week's promt is self portraits.
It's easy, just draw you. You can use a mirror or a photo or just your memory, but I'm going to add a twist to spice things up. Include something otherworldly, fantastical, abstract, dream like or just completely unrealistic to your portrait. A sort of mini escape from the mundane. A small gift from yourself to you. Be it drawing yourself in a place you've never been, having fairy wings, yourself as a different species, a wild color of hair you've never had the guts or means to try out, or just an abstract representation of your personality. Whatever you'd like. As long as it's all about you.

Too uncanny is more or less what everyone else in class is thinking. The teacher wants an anime-styled head with realistic textures.

I've also started on some modular walkways for another class. Altogether, there's a straight piece, a 30 degree ramp, a 45 degree turn, a 90 degree turn, a broken version of each of those, two types of railings, two types of supports, and a ladder.

If we're talking about figuring out how to translate anime style characters into sculpting, look up examples of other people doing that very thing.  There's many out there.  I've got quite a few fantastic ones I know I could dig up.

I'm not being critical but I do think it's funny, heh. I think BlackFlyme did a good job, and no doubt the teacher has some kind of reason for asking them to use realistic textures. I've been wanting to do low-poly anime characters for a while so this is neat to see! I have some tutorials I've been hanging onto until I have the time to try it out.

Most of my work that isn't explicitly portraiture, and even some of that, is actually without direct reference - that is, I'll consult images to check how the reflections off a material look or some precise detail of anatomy, but not particularly replicating any given element. This (https://pre00.deviantart.net/425f/th/pre/f/2018/218/5/d/dread_emperor_11_by_arxile-dcjdodo.png) was basically entirely unreferenced except the pose, for instance. This (https://orig00.deviantart.net/8931/f/2018/224/2/5/catcher_2_by_arxile-dcjykwv.png) was drawn 80% from imagination as well (and has its fair share of flaws arising from that, but none that actually make it look bad IMO - just a bit weird if you think too hard about the lighting).

This one is just... not great. It happens. It's just tilting when I pile the hours into a piece and at the end I look at it and go "well, this sucks". :P

Maybe it's time to work on your figure construction?

The main problem here seems to be a combination of things at weird angles/seeming to adhere to different perspectives (like the plane that her feet are resting on which gives her a kind of "floating" vibe) and odd body proportions (a large head/face with no ears, big calves, and a general litheness that could be considered "too tall")

I THINK that this is a pretty easy fix--if you just spend some time to A.) draw the armature and B.) define the volume at a unified perspective, I think that you'll find your painting is more than up to snuff.

It's really important to practice figure w/o reference too y'know (seriously, referencing things take an inordinate amount of time, and not only that, but your referenced pictures will become much better with figure construction as well), and that's why constructing your figures is so important.

Spoiler: Initial sketch layer (click to show/hide)

I'm pretty comfortable with the anatomy here. The majority of the issues are with her face, which is something I've commented on before elsewhere:

Quote
Actually, this happens any time I draw a full-body concept: the face is quite small, more so in previews, which makes it difficult to work with, and at the same time people will often disproportionately assess an artwork by the face - which is fair enough, but it means that I could be really happy with everything else and mangle the face and still have something of a “commercial” failure.

It's got its share of issues elsewhere, and there are some definite spots of jank I can easily identify - particularly regarding the form and lighting - but because human brains are wired so hard to look at faces the whole thing gets dragged down much more by a lackluster face than anything else.

You're a hard worker Arx, you're getting ahead of yourself a little though.

You need to use reference and practice anatomy more before you can expect a human body drawn from imagination to look well proportioned. Stop practicing bad anatomy and use a reference, I beg you! Your anatomy in your initial sketch could improve a lot, the perspective is also an issue but that can be fixed at the same time as anatomy practice. If you don't mind I'd like to red line this drawing when I have time.

Your brushwork is really quite good and your colors are as well, I can see the ideas that you have and that's what makes me wish you would practice life drawing some more because you have the abilities that would let you benefit strongly from it.

Yes the face is very important, it's usually the first place we look when we're assessing another person. It's also one of the hardest parts of a human to get right because of how important it is.

Post by: Arx on September 14, 2018, 01:55:44 pm
This is beginning to frustrate me, so I am going to say this once, to both of you, and request that you stop critiquing me when I don't ask for it:

The anatomy is referenced. If you think it is bad, it is because the perspective is (obviously) not particularly well conveyed by the basic silhouette, and I did botch the lighting in a couple of places giving the impression that things are weirdly proportioned.

No, Urist, I will not stop using references when I need them. That would be dumb. I believe I made it fairly clear that when I reference something, I'm not slavishly copying it. Using reference is not a bad thing, and far from slowing me down, it does the opposite. I've tested it.

No, Parsely, I'm not trying to draw from imagination. The perspective is, in fact, fine in principle - I slipped in execution.

The kicker here is that I have one of you telling me to use reference more and one of you telling me I need to use reference less. The only thing that makes me happier than unsolicited critique is when the peanut gallery starts arguing about what's wrong with the painting.

You had three people willing to put time and effort into helping you. Whether or not help was wanted, your response seems disproportionately cool.

They're not tearing you down or insulting you, they are giving constructive advice and you cannot expect them to know that you are so ill disposed towards seeing it.

It's generally accepted as standard in the art world that unsolicited critique is impolite. That goes even further when there is a thread for those seeking critique. I've also established why I'm particularly unhappy with the way they've presented their critiques.

I probably am being too harsh, and I apologise, but I am sick and tired of never being able to share art on a non-screaming-into-the-void platform without immediately receiving criticism on a broad spectrum from "really useful" to "destructively incompetent". It's usually the former, here, but it's still dispiriting to only ever receive negative feedback.

Well, for what it's worth at this point (and i hope i don't come off as condescending to anyone here, that's not my intention), allow me to at least jump in and offer some potential encouragement: The colouring's actually pretty good; unlike some of your earlier stuff, there's definitely hue shifting going on in the shading here. It's really only the eyes that don't quite match up in the head/shoulder region, the rest is on point, and the hat is ridiculously well rendered (dat level of detail on the emblem). Cloth folds also seem to be an ongoing strong point for you, which i kind of envy. :v

I'm going to state some probably extremely obvious things here, but i feel the need to say them, so you may disregard at your leisure: I do believe it's important to not beat around the bush with critiques, but it's also important to give props were due, else it just becomes exhausting for the recipient. Some critics (not pointing fingers here, y'all are fine in my book) take pride in being as scathing and caustic as possible, which i honestly don't have respect for. Direct and fair is good; if a cake tastes great but looks weird, it's not really fair to only highlight how weird it looks, but it should of course be mentioned alongside its great taste.

also i personally appreciate (well intentioned) unsolicited critique but obviously my opinion isn't necessarily shared by others

Post by: Urist McScoopbeard on September 14, 2018, 04:37:10 pm
???

(@Arx) Bro, not only has your response been "disproportionately cool", you are being the dick.

Let's logic this out. You post a picture:

The response is initially positive.

You say, hey this piece is an "UNMITIGATED DISASTER".

Nobody has said anything like that.

Cathar says don't beat yourself up.

You say thanks, but it's still "not great" and I'm mad because I spent a lot of time on it.

I say work on your figure construction and "you will find that your painting is up to snuff".
*I'm gonna get into your anatomy in a minute

You respond that the face is the main issue, which honestly, other than it being slightly oversized, looks really good.

Parsley jumps in and says okay, but proper anatomy IS important.
*now keep in mind, up until this point, you have not expressed anything other than dissatisfaction with your picture.

You go off, defend your work, and make some strange claims:
--one, the only thing either of us actually suggested was to plot out your anatomy--and we gave examples of where else you were good
--you claim that you are upset, because we offered criticism, BECAUSE YOU WERE UPSET WITH YOUR DRAWING. Why would we NOT try to help you out?
--then you LITERALLY, with a side by side comparison, change our words to fit YOUR narrative.

[end]

And now, let me actually get in to your anatomy. Because truthfully, it seems like it's the MAIN THING holding your art back.

And because you were a dick, let me be explicitly clear: your initial sketch is not good enough.

And let me be even clearer, you are not in any way plotting out your picture (from what I can see). We told you WHY it looks off, and then we told you how to fix it. You're just drawing an outline without critically examining your own proportions, and let me tell you, it's extremely difficult for even veteran artists to just "eyeball" outlines. People spend literal YEARS doing nothing but figure drawing and still can't just draw accurately via outlines. (and guess what, constructing your figures is probably not only easier it will look better.)

My suggested tips were to:
-- construct an armature, i.e. shoulders, hips, spine, limb lines, and a circle for the head.

-- to use shapes to suggest volume to your work before you start painting it (for your own utility)

No one "rammed critique down your throat." It was not harsh and was in-fact presented fairly. And honestly, it wasn't extensive either, again, we LITERALLY just said you should plan out your figure more before painting it.

Listen, I get that this is your hobby, and you are in no means obligated to follow our advice, but we just acted in accordance in how YOU YOURSELF were responding to the art that was posted. As you seemed to be displeased with the result, again, why would we NOT help you? So now you know what a fair, calm, and gentle critique looks like, and a standard one (despite you being a douche, I would still very much like to see you get better--after all, its your hobby, and it sucks to see anyone dismayed at something they're making). If you want a harsh critique, I can give it to you lol. If you are having a bad day or something, I totally get it, but I'm just letting you know, no one is attacking you here, and everything that has been said has been meant literally and as far I can tell seems legitimately constructive.

As far as unsolicited criticism goes, you seemed upset, we offered ways to change things up next time. And again, you seemed PRETTY upset (unmitigated disaster when literally no one said anything). FURTHERMORE, this kinda is the thread for art criticism, people have just always posted art here and people have always discussed it or tried to make it better or help others work on it in a constructive way. The Art Critique thread was created very recently, and honestly, it's not really used for much other than more technical criticism (or my misguided attempts to get input on my portfolio/whacky ideas). This is just where art goes, and wherever art goes, people talk about it. No one is cutting you down to size or insulting you, we're just having a friendly chat. And the fact is this: once your art is out in the world, people talk about it. If you don't want it to be talked about, tell us, or don't post it. Despite what you said earlier, Bay12 is EXACTLY the place where people want to talk about art in depth.

tl;dr:
If you're having a bad day, I sympathize, but no one is attacking you,
you're art is good and you should keep creating things,
and the criticism has been gentle and valid.

I agree that I overreacted, but I still stand on it being generally rude to critique without being asked. Shook is possibly the only artist I've ever met who appreciates it. :P

The quotes were a somewhat poorly judged effort to explain why I reacted so strongly to the way you presented the criticism. It was something of a knee jerk reaction to having a bad day, commenting that the piece wasn't great, and then immediately being hit with "yeah, it sucks." I know the intent was to help, but... yeah. Doesn't feel good.

If you truly believe that then you lack imagination.
I think it's pretty clear that he's saying in his setting that holy water doesn't harm demons. That's not a lack of imagination that's just a rule that isn't as exciting as it might be in other fiction. It's not the first time that trope has been rejected/subverted in fiction.

And reasonably, holy water is used to baptise children, and give them the superpower of being able to marry in a church and to be burried into a christian cimetary after their death. Also it's a requirement for heaven. But yeah, unless you want to baptise demons, holy water ain't very useful in christian folklore. I belive it's a modern invention by new age exorcists, but don't quote me on that, I just remember stories of saints and they don't need anything but their presence to do the feat

Edit : My bad, holy water was used for exorcisms after the XVIth century. Amusingly, they say it works better with added salt.

Yes, it's related to the World State (the flag of which I posted earlier).

Ministry of Knowledge: Controls scientific research. Also hosts gigantic knowledge databases (kind of like Wikipedia, but bigger).
Ministry of Benevolence: Suppresses riots. Also controls the state police.
Ministry of Production: Chooses what to produce. Also keeps corporations in check.
Ministry of Economy: Manages the economy. Also collects taxes.
Ministry of Information: Controls the mass media. Also makes propaganda.
Ministry of Art: Makes state-produced entertainment. Also hosts gigantic art archives (kind of like TVTropes, but bigger).

I have ideas for Ministry of Knowledge (test tube/flask), Art (a book or movie film), and Production (a factory), but I have no idea for the others. Can you help a bit?

Economy: Gold bullion/silver bullion? Coins?
Benevolence: An angel in chains? :P Guns, munitions. Depends just how "benevolent" they want to appear.
Information: A laptop, maybe? Dunno, hard to symbolise. Maybe a symbol like a crown with the word "Information" beneath? That's what seems to have been the Mi5 way.

Benevolence is an eye, as in the image.

I am resisting the urge to go back and redraw my old pages as I'll never get anything done, but I'm almost done with this sequence, which means I can move on to the final portion of the comic. I think it'll round out at roughly 35 pages, and then I can worry about inking stuff. Once I get more proficient I can be comfortable with drawing and inking a page together, in order!

How pages do you have so far ? Good luck anyway ! And yeah, better finish something completely and worry about subpar pages later. Finishing is the most important

Haha, yes, though it'll be a while yet for me--this last part is the longest. Also I still have to ink it (just going to focus on black and white right now), but I do have a Wordpress account and a couple of domain names so yes, I'll have my own site at some point, but I still have to design that too.

In fact, I'm a bit at a crossroads. I now have 18-19 pages, which is probably enough to get started--especially if I only update one to two pages a week, but 14 of those are of varying quality. I have a couple of options...

A.) I could whip up my website really quick, then go and ink the first 10 or so pages and post those up with 8 in the buffer.

B.) Still whip up my website, but revise and ink ALL 18 pages, with the 19th in the buffer.

C.) Finish the chapter, revise the particularly poor pages, and then finish the site, and post the chapter with nothing in the buffer.

Not really sure how to tackle this, but the website is a one-time thing (hopefully), so despite my do-it-all-in-one-go leanings, I'm kind of leaning towards A.) and B.), A.) probably makes the most sense, BUT the quality/style upgrade after page 14 is at least a moderate leap in readability, which makes me want to do B.)

EDIT: Also, I have to find a quality font... my own handwriting is complete trash.

Pretty much all you can do right now is read the "teaser", but by the end of this week, I'll have most of, if not all 18 currently completed inked and ready to go. (Also fyi, pages 2 and 3 might get black-and-white-ified or they might just stay the same)

Thanks for supporting me peeps. In addition to inking most of what's left, I'll be chugging to get the site finished up before the end of the week as well.

Looks good, love the color palette. But you absolutely need to vectorize it before resizing the elements, else you have conflicting resolution and that aliasing effect.
But as a concept it's your best one so far


If you don't know how to do it, you can link the elements and I'll do it for you

I took the RSFSR emblem, erased the hammer and sickle, added the Earth Atom, recolored some stuff, and added a blue background. I'll link you the original emblem and the Earth Atom once I get to my computer.

I'm putting my practice webcomic online for people to enjoy/critique/comment on. I dunno if it's okay to plug such an endeavor here, but I thought there could be a chance some Bay12ers would be interested in reading!

The first 18 pages are up and it officially updates on Fridays, but will also update more often when I have the time to work on it.
A cross post.

In case anyone is curious, you can see what all of my sketches look like after they've been inked. The visuals/uniformity upgrade(s) somewhat noticeably between between pages 1 and 18, but I hope that the comic thus far is not only readable but enjoyable.

I wanted to make one of those quirky recurring joke enemies that just never seems to die.  So I figured, why not make him a tardigrade?

His name is Two-Tun Tony.

She doesn't really bark, she goes something like "arfarfarf" when she's startled. Like when she sees the neighbour's dog which who she has a one-sided lifetime friendship, but is ten time her size and doesn't recognize her as a dog. It's not really barking.

Not bad! A few things, though:

- Moar contrast! If it's sunlight, the contrast is super harsh, so much so that it's actually often understated in drawings because it dominates the visuals so much. Still, this is a bit too much in the opposite direction.
- Can't quite tell if you've done it, but stroke direction for shading is also important, it should follow the contours of the form you're shading. When smudging, ideally do the same with those strokes; it's a really subtle effect, but it pushes the appearance a notch upwards.
- That one hair strand has the shadow on the wrong side of it. I also feel like the hair should have softer, more flowing curves to it, but i don't know how the reference looks, if any.
- Facial anatomy and proportions are good! The ear just needs some more love though, the shape is a bit off and is underdetailed to the point of looking more like a scoop. I'm not so cruel as to expect ears to be fully detailed all the time, but just a little lining of the bigger details goes a long way.

Otherwise doing good! Definitely registers as a realistic human face without falling into the uncanny valley. :v

Alright, so what I did is, first I compensated for the angle. I did it by taking the eye line as a guide. Then, I corrected some flaws on the facial construction and rearranged slightly the features. It may not be entierely good correction but I think it highlight where you need to go to steep getting better. It has been done very quickly, and when it comes down to it, I hadn't a lot to correct but you can see where the problem is ; slight misplacement of facial features. The eyes are too high, mouth and nose slightly off center. You'll need to work extra carefully to place them where they should be, a slight misplacement can degrade the quality a lot. The good new is, when it's done, it'll improve the quality a lot in a very short period of time. That's not a very big mountain to climb, good luck !

You are improving! Cathar and Shook made good comments but I just wanted to quickly highlight the thing that bothered me the most, the ear and jawline.

Spoiler: Redline (click to show/hide)

See how just adding some easy fold lines and a jaw suddenly defines the whole thing?

Spoiler: Tiny draw-over (click to show/hide)

No shading, I just filled in the lines I mentioned and slid the ear down about a centimetre so the top of the ear aligns with the eye. Literally six pencil strokes and a tiny shift, and the whole thing feels much better! Do not be afraid of ears. Most of the time, they are simple creatures that don't need all that much work.

Much appreciated, guys.

What is this dark ear-sorcery.

Also, drat on the facial feature positioning yet again. My tactic of drawing a circle, cutting off the edges and drawing a line has evidently failed me. Is it that I should have had the eyes in the centre? I tried dividing into thirds, but maybe that made me forget more basic positioning techniques. Bah humbug.

You have the right technique. That's how it's done. I'm not criticizing you to tell you you're wrong, you're doing things as you should. I'm criticizing you because (you asked lol, and) to tell you to continue to strive to improvement ! It's a long road and the first steps are the hardest ; after a time you'll see that become natural to you

I won't lie, my first impression was that he was unimpressed by having a sword stuck through his torso.

It looks to me like the sword hilt is just floating because the ribbon thing at his middle seems to extend past where the swordblade should be, if you understand what I'm saying?

Post by: Cathar on November 21, 2018, 09:04:06 pm
Well I thought about it, but his weapon "menaces with spikes of black bronze" which makes the use of sheaths a bit awkward. What I assume is, he doesn't carry his sword around and it usually rests on the weapon rack
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Egan_BW on November 21, 2018, 09:29:06 pm
In that case, shouldn't he be pictured either without his sword or holding it in his hand?

Litterally you can find people to wank to anything, those pics should be okay, theres nothing sexual here

Guideline states

Quote
Do not discuss sexually oriented material.  There are exceptions to this rule, such as passing discussions of sexual content in movies, books, computer games, etc. in topics not directed specifically at the sexual material in question, but no sexually themed topics are allowed.  Sharing erotic images and erotic roleplaying are not permitted.  If you want to turn each other on, there are plenty of outlets for that.  This is not one of them.  Please refrain from sharing your sex life.

I think models fall within the exception mentionned. This is common art stuff, but you should make sure the books are free and do not infringe on copyrights etc.

Edit Also while I'm at it have another wip

Perfectly! Very interesting combination of colors and materials. I understand correctly, chainmail from leather and wooden plates?  Armor for leg's made of wood?

Yes : I made everything out of wood, since the elves of DF like making everything out of wood and have no industry. I added some cloths... Typically, elves use gray cloth, but I wanted more colors.

I want to try and play as elves in DF, a bit later

R: Да: я сделал все из дерева, так как эльфы DF любят делать все из дерева и не имеют промышленности. Я добавил несколько тканей ... Как правило, эльфы используют серую ткань, но я хотел больше цветов.

Я хочу попробовать себя в роли эльфов в DF, чуть позже

Playing a SG has very low barrier to entry, and I haven't seen... just about any ISGs with non-pixel art in quite a long time. So yeah, it would certainly be worth participating in for me.

That'd be cool to see, though I intended them more as concept sketches.

There is a cover picture that's been in my head for a while, that I'd like to be drawn by a competent artist...more scenery and effect than characters though.  I'll make a sketch later and see if anyone wants to draw it.  I can pay a commission for that one.

EDIT: Here it is

Wtf, yeah that's perfect! Feel free to get creative with whatever you put in the bubbles, the image is supposed to be "you can create/explore anything you can imagine".

I want to use it for a cover image on stuff, or in a cutscene... Maybe the wanderer should be smaller than how I drew it and roughly line up with the center so it can look better in a banner.

I'll definitely credit you at the very least.

EDIT: If the different elements of the picture are stored in different layers, it could even be reshuffled or animated... Though if the bubbles were mobile, the "paths" would need to be removed.  I don't know how you make these, so I don't know how simple that would be. Whatever you want to do.

So after recount, this is really page 62. The road to page 100 is very long but I'm getting there

Also for the space bubble pictures : the problem is I'm using effects that are not dynamic ; moving the bubbles would be hard to automate... it might be possible but I don't know after effect enough to do that.

If you would give me exemple of backgrounds you want in those however it would save me some brainpower and I could get it done faster

But then again I'm not the best for those, so I would not feel insulted or anything if you chose to hire a real artist

I meant more to have 3 separate images - the background (minus the bubbles), some landscape images to put in the bubbles, and the tower.  The actual animation could be done in-game.  That way the specific images and locations of the different elements wouldn't matter too much.  Though a single static image could also work.

I can sketch some landscape image ideas, though I'm not too picky.  Honestly just random bits cut out of most of your comic backgrounds would work nicely.

Hello, longtime bay12 lurker here.

Are there any Warframe fans here? Because I made a song inspired by the Shadow Stalker:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aogjo9kSWwc
The stalker is so silly, but that's actually good and makes him seem more like an actual scary boss rather than a sort of pointless edgelord man with a big sword as the developers made him (total anticlimax), this other one Zenny the Spoon made is very grineer'y industrial sounding too, sort of reminds me of Fear Factory's music for the game Messiah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJffot-ZQow

A while back, I mentioned possibly uploading some of the music that I've made here, and I recently made something that I'd actually consider good enough to potentially share. But I have no clue how I'd actually go about uploading a .mp3 file anywhere. Anyone have any advice for doing that? I'd like to get some feedback from people who don't know me and are thus less likely to be overly positive.

I'd stick it on a file storage service like Dropbox or Google Drive, or you could make a SoundCloud account I guess?

Well, both are cheery and use flute (I think, I have little skill in instrument identification, and it could be another high woodwind), and have some calmness, so it’s a fair comparison. I think they were using Eb major as opposed to my C major, but I can’t really test that against anything, since I can’t use the piano right now, so I might be totally off base. I’m still quite new to ear training, so I am not great at this.

Either way, thanks for sharing that song, and for the feedback.

That was a very good idea, so I decided to do it. Except I also moved it to a major key, made it 1/24th slower, and made some minor edits throughout to make the new key work, because I felt like it should be a bit cheerier for the desert town, since it's a relatively happy place.
Here's the remixed version, although it's twice its actual length because I was trying to get the looping to not have an audible disconnect while also transferring it between .wav and .mp3 using two different programs.

I'm not a music expert, but I noticed that it suddenly sounds a lot less "deserty" and went on an Internet journey to figure out why.
It seems that Middle Eastern music has a minor scale relative to Western music. (https://www.reddit.com/r/musictheory/comments/1yif41/what_makes_a_piece_sound_middle_easternarabic/)

This raises a whole bunch of interesting questions related to music theory.  Do Easterners percieve "happy" and "sad" music in the same way as Westerners?  Does minor key music sound ominous to Westerners because it resembles Arabic music?  A bit of research suggests that music perception is a lot more subjective than I thought, though the reason for these perceptive idiosyncracies is not well understood.

Of course, using the same melody with different styles is a great way of tying areas of a game together.

Of course, using the same melody with different styles is a great way of tying areas of a game together.

I looked at the link, and yeah, Arabic music often uses (sort of) minor scales, although the scales they use are separate from American minor scales. I guess G sharp minor is just more reminiscent of them than the major scale I used? I don’t suspect that minor key music sounds ominous to listeners because it sounds like Arabic music (mostly because some minor key stuff still sounds ominous and also doesn’t sound Arabic at all), but yeah, music perception is fascinating (try listening to 4’33”, optimally in a concert, and some of the more experimental jazz or industrial).
Either way, it seems like most of the music people associate with deserts is minor key, based on some very brief research. I don’t know about what actual desert cultures played, since it seems like what most people think of as desert music isn’t even close to a complete set of what desert based cultures actually played.
I’m not entirely sure what to do for the town because of this, since I prefer most town music to be a bit more upbeat, especially in the case of this town, which is just generally a pretty cheerful place. Not sure how to handle that alongside the need to make it deserty to the average listener. Any advice?

Yeah, repeating melodies really does bring a soundtrack together (a good example of this is Deltarune’s soundtrack, which uses the same set of a handful of notes in a majority of songs).

And for MK ehm... well. Let's say you're not the only one. To my defense most of the male characters that are not childen usually sport some facial hair... aside Islas, but I think he's manly enough

Believe it or not I intend to make it a visual thing, though I am considering writing as well. Same for this next mess, which hey. There's at least one or two interested parties here, let's share more crap.

(https://i.imgur.com/bWhlT5t.jpg)
This is the "title page," or at least the working concept of it for now. Dunno if the UI thing is a bit much or if I'll have this be the final form the title page takes. The title is a reference to Alpha Centauri, while the actual job description could be summed up as "lives outside normal civilization, and generally unfriendly with law enforcement." Datajacks can be anyone, from anywhere, robbing, murdering, salvaging, and selling thier services as guns for hire for any number of reasons.

(https://i.imgur.com/30JI0oZ.png)

And a supporting character destined to be one of that wizard dude's minders, Redwood Medical Institute Administrative Artificial Intelligence 01, known by her future friends as Remi. She ended up the de facto Circle G mascot in Redwood,and is the girl in the damaged advert in the previous post, though with a squishy human body now.

"Would you like the damage to this facility listed alphabetically, by cost, or by severity?"

(https://i.imgur.com/ePdGwV5.jpg)
The title page for a project I'm working on concurrently, Vandringsmen (wanderers, according to multiple sites I went to for the term in Swedish.) The pelt marks our hero in there as a poacher.

(https://i.imgur.com/61JRQn3.jpg)
This is Sofie Gylling, currently running drills with an off-screen instructor. She's one of the two main characters in Vandringsmen.

(https://i.imgur.com/Oo65lUB.jpg)
And this is a spellcaster, a rarity in Vandringsmen's setting. Her name being Minetha the Magnificent, though you can also call her Minty. She was going to be in a D&D campaign, but a rule dispute flatlined the whole thing before we even got through the first leg of the adventure. Proportions on her are a bit off in the legs, but I'm working on it.

I like to do character pictures like this so I have an idea of what they look like, if it isn't obvious.

I have two projects, which currently are just in a conceptual stage (though Vandringsmen I have two pages for the prologue, such as they are, and monochrome.) Comics by default, though as I said, I'm considering maybe writing them out as regular written work as well.

Vandringsmen is a bastard child of Elder Scrolls and Dwarf Fortress, while Datajack is sort of cyberpunk-apocalyptic feel (due to where the main settings generally are - outside of civilization, primarily in derelict Sites taken over by gangs and nomads.)

Datajack is also essentially a freakishly complicated fanfic by default because of one of the main characters, who actually inspired the whole thing.

I happen to also have a freakishly complicated apocalyptic setting which is technically fanfic. :V I don't draw a lot though, I hang around here because other people draw shiny things I like to look at. My thing is a roleplaying game that I am very gradually building because I like the concept too much to half-ass it.

It's the driving force starting out, getting one (later three) characters into bodies to avoid dying with the computer systems that house them.

And y'know what? Fuck it.

Vandringsmen prologue pages 1 and 2, such as they are. A bout two months old, haven't worked on it like I planned to.

Second page is read right to left, I had just finished reading a manga when I worked on it and it caused me to derp up, but I've committed at this point, so I'm gonna run with it. Also drawing coats-of-plate is a bitch and a half and painfully time consuming. But that's what I get for going for more realistic armor.

Who knows, if there turns out to be enough interested parties I might even make a thread for both projects.

Aaa sorry you said "realistic armour" and that triggered my trap card.

A CoP has much fewer plates than that, arranged in two columns down the torso if it fastens in front, or only one if it fastens at the side. IIRC it's usually somewhere around 4-8 plates per column. They're each quite short, to allow bending, and usually riveted to the inside of a sturdy jacketing material like canvas or leather. Braveheart style CoPs are basically completely inflexible and have no place in the real world.

For reference:
(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/f9/5c/8c/f95c8c80b052ef97a8f0bc891694ab26--leather-armor-medieval-armor.jpg)

They're also much easier to draw! It's like a sweater vest with rivets. If you're committed to the look, though, look up klivanions (sometimes romanised as klibanion) - it's a lamellar cuirass that looks a fair bit like that.

That aside, looks good! Keep it up!

The armor's taken from a skyrim mod that renders far more realistic armor than is typical for the game (for example, the swordsman is wearing the mod's hide armor, which looks, y'know. Like actual armor.) I simply referred to it as such because some forms of it were as close to it as I could find (with most lamellar looking most like the vests the hero and that swordsman are wearing by what I found.)

I suppose technically it'd be more correct to regard it as a brigandine, since it more closely resembles this illustration of one. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigandine#/media/File:Jakob_von_Ems_brigandine_by_Wendelin_Boeheim.jpg) It just doesn't have an additional layer of material over the plates. Either way, this particular style of armor that I did draw is a bitch and a half since I was copying it more or less directly from this (dude on the far left; the protagonist is wearing what's on the far right, and the swordsman is wearing the second from the left.) (https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/110/images/64424-0-1516315833.jpg)

And note, I said realistic, not 100% true to life. I do have some more leeway with drawing than I would if I were making an animation or a live-action thing after all.  ;)

Though with that mentioned I gotta say now I can't play Skyrim without the mod in question. Everything looks too godsdamned fancy and/or impractical without it.

I think it's mostly that when the pixels are that large/visible, my brain expects to see pixel art that's refined to a per-pixel level (and it's entirely possible that it's just me being a persnickety bastard). If you're already doing that, apologies for being a cunt about it. I'll gladly provide more detailed nitpicking if you want, but it's come to my attention that that's not necessarily appreciated by definition. Weird to me, but such is life. :V

Part of the reason it looks strange is because he used a mixture of anti-aliased and non-anti-aliased ("pencil tool") brushes. Everything in the foreground is drawn with the pencil tool and not softened with AA, which would have to be done by hand, so it creates a jarring separation from the background which is more soft and blurry because of the AA.

If Lemons or anyone else is interested in what I would call traditional pixel art techniques I recommend studying this tutorial: http://pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299

Lemons I feel is someone who is having fun with what they're doing so I don't like to complain too much about his style. It's actually doing something pretty cool, that is flat characters in a scene with strong perspective:

Oh yeah, i should probably clarify that it's NEVER my intention to discourage people from drawing the way they want to and have fun with, in fact i'm generally hoping to do the opposite of that. Mostly my reasoning behind my comments is the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do to you. I love to hear what thoughts people have about my doodlings, be they positive or negative or somewhere in between, so i make my thoughts more readily available for others.
Unfortunately, my thoughts often lean in a somewhat critical direction (out of a desire to help people improve their craft, mind you), so i kinda have to rein it in when i'm not sure if the recipient will appreciate it. :V

If you guys remember what I mostly did on the forums is images mostly involving Photoshop edits or just little drawing with my avatar this is the first time I'm actually trying anything big.

Ah so time to share something that I've never really brought up. So i'm colour blind. Red-Green colour blind (deuteranomaly). And this severely impacts my colour making chooses you could almost say I have no colour sense at all because growing up, picking and choosing colour was such a hassle that I never really developed a skill for it. While I may see some just fine not being able to see others just makes it something I never tried with (Not sure if that makes sense but its the best I can describe it.)) So yer haha here I am trying to make art. Funny isn't it?

So to me colour chose is a mechanical thing in everything I make I always have a colour pallet that I know(think) has the right colours in it or I have a ref image that I take the colour straight off. Tho I wish to get better at it, its just something that will never come to me as easy as it is for normal people. I just see the world differently I guess.

But I'd love to hear your thoughts on my colour chose in that image. Just keep in mind I may have no idea what your going on about haha.

Anyway thanks guys. oof that was a lot of writing :p

I appreciate you guys taking the time to write your thoughts on my stuff. And I am willing to take your critique so that I may get better so feel free, tho I will probably have none to return on your own stuff for I have no idea what I'm doing. If you guys remember what I mostly did on the forums is images mostly involving Photoshop edits or just little drawing with my avatar this is the first time I'm actually trying anything big. So it never occurred to me that some people might find that style jarring I guess its not for everyone.

Jarring isn't necessarily bad. I think that quality gives your art a lot of character.

Your choices of colors don't have anything to do with your color blindness, the mistakes I'm seeing you make are exact same ones that amateur artists who aren't color blind make, like overusing black and grey. Borrowing color palettes from other images that look nice to you is super normal, I do that all the time! Plenty of artists who aren't color blind have the exact same problems to overcome as you when it comes to learning how to use colors mechanically before it becomes intuitive, in fact that's how all people are with all art skills, no one is born knowing color theory or how to use a pencil or brush. Before I was decent at building my own palettes I would use palette generators, I still borrow palettes from other people and tweak them but lately I make all my own colors because it's just as fun.

Are you on Discord? I can help you with colors in real time and try to explain some concepts to you. We can mess with some color palettes together! I can even simulate your color blindness, this way I bet we can find a method for picking colors that works for you.

Is it alright if I ask in here for someone to whip up a quick 'n' easy image edit for me? Normally it would be within even my abilities (heck, you could easily just use Paint), but my computer is currently out of action.
I haven't looked into any mobile image editing apps and I can only imagine they'd be highly fiddly on my smartphone, so I'm asking here instead.

I'd say it came out pretty well though. Dat bisection. I gotta ask though, is that a husk, or a night troll?

Not sure what the mod is for, but it looks real nice. Hope it turns out well. I haven't played Skyrim in ages, but I'll boot it up again and take a look at it once it's done.

Also, I made another song. This one ended up more minor and ominous. It's also designed for looping, so after 2 minutes, it goes back to the beginning (I figured out how to make it not do this and be good for looping without this, but I figured this copy would be easier to hear it in). If you take a listen, and it isn't too much trouble, tell me what you think.

tried a different concept where wooden fortifications are dug into a mound of dirt piled atop the tank chassis (which is covered with moss and grass to prevent erosion)--I'm getting the sense it's too small.

Also the wooden fortifications are proving difficult to make look right. I may switch to stone and see if that gives it a better look.

@Cathar, yes! I gave em a work over.

First draft of this concept. Basically, mounted weapons, propelled explosives, and any sort of shell casing are banned in this universe--tank chassises have been converted into ultra heavy cavalry as a result. This is probably a smaller one, but I'm reasonably satisfied with A.) the ability for a squad of soldiers to defend this tank like a bunker should get stuck, B.) the tank's ability to absolutely break a battle line, and also C.) with the visual appearance.

Still a lot of questions... maybe a tank with trenches, or more castle-y. Not sure how where these bad boys land on the scale of mobile fortress/land ship-of-the-line <--> mobile, ultra-heavy assault cavalry.

Ooo, cool concept! The idea that it's basically a mobile piece of fortified landscape amuses me. :v

Also i have THINGSSSSSSS. Me and Hanslanda went into a lil' partnership thing where we take turns doing our thing about a thing the other made (he writes, i draw), so introducing things in the order they were made. I should again stress that he wrote the short stories, not me!

That looks really nice. I remain no artist in terms of images (and in terms of remembering what the actual word for artists who make images is, apparently), but that looks really good.

Also, more music that I made. Hope it turned out okay. Today’s theme is apparently crystal glasses. Curse them for having such a nice timbre while also possessing flat dynamics. It makes them so limited, but I love how they sound.

The good new is, they are human and relatively peaceful unless you're an elf and try to murder the queen's son, according to legend mode. The bad new is I'm really not sure they still have those.

A couple spelling notes:
"You're a weird one, Erith."
"You insist on putting yourself in harm's way."
"I'm but a useless man" – even before a vowel, which is contrary to the rule we all learned, but it reflects pronunciation: Yoos-less
"I didn't mean to . . ."

I love when this dwarf gets philosophical. :)

Heh, I included the note mostly because I realized while I typed it up that nobody has ever told me, " 'A' before consonants, 'an' before vowels; BUT there's an exception to this rule for certain words that begin with the letter U [which in speech begin with a sound otherwise represented by Y]." I know it instinctively, because I've been immersed in English my whole life, but this is an unfair language if you're trying to write by patterns.

The cat VN at the start is really cute, I love it, it made me laugh out loud at the meowing and the simple animation.

But I couldn't get past the first level! I flipped the two light switches on the floor but it didn't seem to do anything? I backtracked but I didn't see that anything had changed. Also, I run WAY faster when I move left and right compared to when I move up and down, it feels weird.

My opinion you absolutely don't need to consider : You should really really really correct the aliasing in the frontground & background. They really degrade the quality of the pixel art. You'd also get bonus point if you keep your number of colors to an absolute minimum

I don't think it's a question of laziness, but I think parts of the picture are not meant for pixel art. The nebula especially, looks a lot like a jpg file and the compression reduces the quality of your picture. I'm saying that because it's an easy and painless way to improve the overall quality : a solid white nebula with a blue outline would look better and more striking, and also take less work.

I just made this two minute cleaning to show what I mean by aliasing :

(https://i.imgur.com/FmPFVbM.png)

Some parts of the picture have "randomly lost pixels", if it makes sense. This is usually due to bad compression of a jpg file and you want to avoid that at all cost in pixel art.

I'm absolutely not a pixel artist tho, but I really hope it helps. Also the flaw doesn't appear in your latest picture

Another WIP.

The words on here are taken from this song, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr3uKm9n9kg) which was the whole impetus behind the drawing. Translates into Monika refusing to really acknowledge what her personal knight in shining armor really is (that is to say, in a charitable fashion, just another unremarkable gun-for-hire in the fringes of civilization who happens to be true to what they say they'll do for someone.)

I got a backlog of WIP drawings starting to pile up. Send help or motivation boosts.

"Ground through"

"Disloyalty pouring into the Empire's heart"

And not sure what you meant with this one:
"And Vucartogum is in danger of splintering," perhaps?

Finally, "how deep does the rot go."

As always, the artwork is of a very high standard. The lizard-dragon-catfish thing in the last panel is simply horrifying.

As for the black clothing...Well. DF says undyed cloth is gray... But gray (50/50) doesn't look good, so I use a darker gray. The fur on the goblin is troll fur, gray aswell.

In gameplay terms probably, but Kenaf, hemp, and jute seem to be more of a beige, cotton and linen more of a light gray or maybe white, ramie's a bit of a medium-to-light grey, and I would imagine rope reed stuff to be more of a brown, with Pig Tails and troll wool being a true medium. Wool from other critters would vary from animal to animal.

Plus there's the matter of dyes which allows a bit more creative freedom (no reason goblins wouldn't have black, green, red, or blue clothes after all. They can be dyers too.)


Finally finished some character drawings, one of a Grey Hat hacker named Katja Holland on one of her few trips into Redwood (not fond of the regular near death experiences those trips entail.)

(https://i.imgur.com/u4Sl6vp.png)

And one of Apolonia, a hideous amalgamation of poloish cavalry history (modern knee and elbow pads, 1930s revolver, a Napoleonic dress uniform, and renaissance era metal armor and boots, with some modern paint/dye on both.) Created and drawn as a thank you to someone for making the hive beasts I need for a bee-based fortress project. She's a nutty one, and probably wouldn't look out of place in 40k as part of some strange pan-slavic themed guard regiment.

Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Cathar on March 11, 2019, 02:59:08 pm
Yeah...I try from time to time to use references from reality, like some kenaf hoods are light brown and all...But in general I prefer to rely on DF readings and avoid moving too much from it. For instances, goblins don't use dye, pearlites don't either, simply because it's not in the culture DF generated. People from Amegil use emerald dye, and since they do really ressemble pearlites physically, it's used to differenciate them. Same for people in the southern island, who have wildly different cultural garments (people from the deep south use veils for instance, and both red and green clothes).

Having red cloacks is one of my secret objectives long term, and I'll describe it as a technological advancement. My objective is to stick by DF's understanding as close as possible for this kind of little details

Have more Thomocemir knights, Gorhax and Slada

Your English is good by English standards, which is sort of depressing.
Thought as much about the clothing; you pay attention to all the little details DF gives out, which is cool. But surely some of those folks are wearing leather gear also?

Post by: Cathar on March 11, 2019, 03:12:47 pm
Sure they do ^^ When they wear leather I draw leather, which is brown according to DF. For instance this page :

(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/1a9a4893-1e17-489d-813f-9ea9c11bb32e/dcypj1q-012b21a9-059d-411c-9b97-166379e5855b.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzFhOWE0ODkzLTFlMTctNDg5ZC04MTNmLTllYTljMTFiYjMyZVwvZGN5cGoxcS0wMTJiMjFhOS0wNTlkLTQxMWMtOWI5Ny0xNjYzNzllNTg1NWIuanBnIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.1BURvq7i32ypnO7YzF6hwDZqQluuIzzSHzdQt9bOJj4)

Leather is just far less common than textile for clothing.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Splint on March 11, 2019, 03:33:16 pm
I sincerely never noticed a difference in dyes being used culturally in-game. I always seem to just find dudes wearing random mish-mashes of dyed and undyed clothing + leather of various sorts. Except for elves. Elves obviously just wear cloth outside of battle.

But then I'm not quite so involved with things of that nature as you are with stuff in Mong Kima.  :P

And if you mean I improved compared to what I opened with, it's probably because that stuff was already a couple months/weeks old at that point I think. I like to think I'm at least getting better at proportions and lighting though (legs still seem to be a weak spot, and certain perspectives for hands and items.)

Also it's spelled cloak.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Cathar on March 11, 2019, 03:41:07 pm
DF doesn't get the credit it deserves for keeping tracks of goods ^^ Ever noticed only dwarves wear blue in vanilla? That's because blue dye (dimple cups I think) only grow underground. Goblins and elves have no agriculture, and human only farm above ground. For people in Mong Kima, they simply do not occupy land where dye grows, so they don't have access to it. Maybe when I'm done with my conquests it will change tho

Also what I mean is I'm observing a clear and consistant progession with every one of your uploads, even including recent ones.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Splint on March 11, 2019, 03:48:26 pm
I'll be a cheeky shit and say "What, it never occurred to them to buy dye from traders?" :P

But honestly, half of what my dwarves wear is undyed or leather. So it's one of those things that, as said, I never noticed or bothered to notice, though I do make an effort to dye my in-house thread.

Still, you definitely do good work on the drawing front. Much better than what I can do, since I tend to go through lulls in activity and I can't seem to just force myself to do shit.

Prototyping a look for a game I want to make if/when I finish the current project. I definitely want the 45-degree orthographic angle, not so sure about everything else. For one thing the scale is way, way too big. I want every "room" to be roughly the same size, and the entirety of the room to be visible without moving the camera. That means if there is going to be an "overworld" to this game, it'll either be broken into individual rooms like Zelda, or representative and not to-scale like Final Fantasy or Ultima.

Nice cactus. Makes me think of the cacti currently growing almost to the ceiling in my house, even if it's a completely different type entirely. It's just that they're both cacti in pots I guess.


I made another song. It's a remix of one of the old ones, but it doesn't sound much like it, since I only really took the core line and the key signature. The speed, other instruments, and most other lines are completely different. Also, I learned how to stop using crystal glasses constantly, so that's probably for the best. I tried to use some non-pitched percussion in this one, which is new, so hopefully that went well.

https://i.imgur.com/1g0Bmf7.mp4
- Your camera movements need momentum, when you want to point the camera at something ease towards the target, speed up, then slow back down as you reach the target, it feels more natural because that's what happens when a real person turns to look at something. Movements with no momentum feel robotic, the same principles of movement that are used in animation will apply here too.
- People aren't used to their body moving 3-dimensionally (changing x, y, and z position) WHILE also turning their eyes and head to look at something. If you're moving the camera body a lot try to keep its view steady on one target, and if you're changing your target try to keep the camera body's movement as simple as possible (move in a straight line or a constant curve while tracking the target).
- Usually people look where they're going, a couple times you have the camera pointing straight down at the ground while it's moving towards a destination on the x-y plane. This really confuses the camera's intent and makes for some jarring moments at the end of gif 1 and the start of gif 2.

I feel like i kinda oscillate between preferring pencil or digital. Pencil has better line control and is easily portable, but smudges under my bony meatloaf hands, takes longer to colour/shade and needs vigorous sharpening, while digital has worse line control and portability, but none of the other issues. I s'pose there's nothing wrong with keeping up both.

"And four people aren't going to win a war." or something to that effect would sound more normal.

I tried to create a better orrery.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Evidently, I'm still not very good at converting videos to gifs. This isn't meant to be so small. Oh well. Probably better than posting a full-sized 50+mb gif.

Instead, here's a full-sized 14mb gifv from imgur. (https://i.imgur.com/xcjmiw2.gifv)

Edit: apparently tumblr thinks that this orrery is adult content. I just got an email notification about this piece, but nothing shows up when I go to 'review flagged posts', like the email suggests I do.




I'm not one to double-post, but I've done some more stuff. Mostly a Cthulhu decal to eat up space on the wall, but I've got fake lightshafts, as well as some particles.

Yeah, plain text can be flagged if the filter thinks you're talking naughty. Apparently Lovecraft isn't appreciated either, since the Cthulhu circle up there just got flagged a few minutes ago as well.

Thanks! To be honest I'm not sure either. >_> Initially, he was meant to have his knuckles pressed against the blade, then the fingers ended up suggesting they were wrapped around and the perspective suggests they're much further ahead of him than the sword.

The index finger is probably because I was listening to this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUhVCoTsBaM) majestic composition at one point.

Portraits of D&D party for a game I'm DMing - first timer, which lead to accidentally setting the first dungeon dive to "Dark Souls" instead of "Medium" for a bunch of level ones, but a misinterpretation of the rules and a little help in the form of a stash of healing supplies lead the party to survive.

(https://i.imgur.com/VwowDDi.png)
Homalis, Elf Rogue who had the worst two in-game hours of her life in that dungeon, this is a more worksafe version. Because among the many things that made that late afternoon one of the worst in that elf's life, she got volunteered in exchange for some info on what was left in the dungeon. She resolved to try and castrate the bandit instead, and, well. She flubbed that roll and made good on the promised payment instead.

(https://i.imgur.com/Z0mRvOg.png)
Marii Divosa, racist grey elf warlock, silently sniggering at the party rogue's expense. She is the aforementioned warlock. She has a fancy rapier named Cayicata that deals 1d8 poison damage along with its regular stuff, so she isn't completely worthless in melee.

(https://i.imgur.com/Ym78s7H.png)
Charple Sizzles the sorcerer, also known as "Blisters" and "The Human Callus," with his new dwarven shortsword Zirilzes (to counter his horrible strength and dex, it deals an additional 1d6 fire damage so he can at least contribute in fights in tight quarters.)

Both Charple and Marii's melee weapons were rewards for the dungeon, because their default melee weapons made them worse than useless once things got up close. I'm sure they'll be insanely broken for early on, but later I'm sure they'll be cursing these weapons and asking them to stop sucking so much.

(https://i.imgur.com/Hr9vIDe.png)
And Leon Vetten, Fighter and DMPC. The party was too fragile with three squishies and I didn't want to force anyone to reroll, so I filled the tanky melee role myself. Goblin Slayer eye thing will probably be nixed, though he does act in a bandit-centered version of that character, with a much larger sword.

I've also been making tons and tons and tons of custom tokens for the campaign.

Another work in progress. The party resolved to take a rest in the now-vacated bandit camp.

(https://i.imgur.com/WH2OYp2.jpg)

Left to right we have Worgi the worg (the product of a critical animal handling check in the boss room,) Marii Divosa, Leon Vetten, Charple Sizzles, and Homalis. I'll probably replace the stock fire circle there with some random brick chunks and lengthen out Leon's sword so it looks the proper size.

Blade thickness looks fine, depending on the role of the weapon consider making the blade 6 or 12 inches longer though since it looks just a bit short for a sidearm. I think you should get rid of that disc near the pommel, I think that thing would bump into your wrist if you wanted to extend your arm completely (say, if you wanted to lunge).

Post by: Arx on April 26, 2019, 03:23:11 pm
Yup. An olympic fencing sabre, whilst only tangentially related to actual weaponry, has a strongly tapered guard so that at the butt end it's essentially just a strip of metal the width of the guard, stuck to the pommel to hold everything together. It's also probably too close to the grip in front, although it's hard to tell, and I suspect the grip is too flat - at least in modern rapier, you actually lay your thumb along the handle, not wrapped around gripping like a club. Looks like that'd be a bit uncomfortable.

Alright, some changes to it, and some textures. The guard isn't connected to the bottom of the handle any more. It's also few inches longer; it should be within real-life measurements, but probably still a bit on the shorter end, if I'm understanding Blender's measurement system correctly.

Thanks! I was trying to figure out how to draw a D&D lizardy kobold and was thinking if I should make their snouts more elongated (like a crocodile), but in the end chose to stick with a shorter and "cuter" one.

Maybe I'll try to draw some more kobolds next month (that is, if I manage to motivate myself to draw).

also quick portrait of Gnoll Horse Archer, i'm at least getting better at hyenafaces (also pupils intentionally omitted because it makes him seem even more vacant)

Lovely! A much better take on a gnoll's face than I had.

Used the "Day Long Awaited" picture as a base to work from. Planning a fort, which isn't ready for deployment yet to alternate with Battlejudge and Granitepanther.

The fort utilizes a number of ZM5's mods, among them Dwarfest Dungeon and What Lurks Below, giving us the visual aesthetic above, and the big-ass goat.

I'd love to have people to hand to help tell the story when it rolls out, since I actually have something resembling a plan for it, but it's no fun having to do all the characterization myself.

My submission for Extra Creditz Game Jam #4 is complete! It's a very simple (sub-Tomagotchi, really) virtual pet simulation. Play it here (https://logichan.itch.io/my-sisters-pet) and drop a comment, either here or on the page, if you have feedback! (Yes, I know the line weights are off. Digital art isn't my strong suit and I didn't have a lot of time left after the features were implemented.)

Interesting. I really like the dancing music, is there somewhere I can get it?
Also, the instructions for Ro-Sham-Bo are actually the instructions for the Dancing game.

The music is "Werq" by Kevin Macleod (Incompetech guy.)

That's an embarassing mistake with the instructions. You'd think I would learn to not use a prefab if I don't want objects to act like a prefab by now.

Working on figuring out a look for our textboxes for Demon Legend: trying for something designed but plainly colored at the moment, but considering adding color too.

Got a few more things to try still to find our look (and of course anything can change in dev).

Edit: trying a colored version.

Last one's quite neat, but the colouration runs a risk of looking out of place if you get into an area with a different colour theme. The white one's a solid neutral choice if you want to mostly avoid that issue. :v

What does drawception mean

As I understand it, Drawception is a game where several players begin with a prompt and produce a drawing based on it. They then pass it on to the next player, who tries to guess the prompt from the drawing, and passes the new prompt on. Hilarity ensues when the final predicted prompt is nothing like the original.

Ok, here's a bit of critique from an amateur/hobbyist composer.

First, some of the tracks are louder than the others, so the listener has to adjust the volume between them, which is a bit annoying. Second, the sound clips quite badly on the first track (not sure if intentional or not, but regardless, it's not a good thing); the clipping on the kick was quite unbearable with headphones even after turning the volume waaay down on my device. Third, the sound balance of some instruments was a bit off: on the fourth track especially the sound with the decimator/degrader effect was definitely too loud. However, you apparently didn't use much time to make the album, so these kind of things are easy to miss (you sort of become "deaf" to these things after listening to your own tracks for a while).

That said, you clearly had some nice ideas in your tracks and they conveyed different kinds of moods and had my imagination running. I'd say get the volume and clipping issues fixed - maybe even ask someone else to master the tracks - and use more time on the structure of the tracks, and you'll have a much better album at hand.

Anyway, keep on making music - I'll gladly listen to what you next come up with!

You're very right about becoming deaf to your own music, next time I'm going to try and wait a day before releasing tracks to catch any issues. I'll also watch for any clipping and make sure to master my songs together in a more cohesive way. At the time I had just mastered them when each track was finished without listening to the others. I'll post in this thread whenever I release something. Cheers.

Now I want to go make some vampires in one of my forts, just so I can shove 'em into stalagmites so their moans echo through the caverns for all eternity... that's brilliant that is!

Level 1 Gunrat DJ, Gunrats being bottom run gangers in the Datajack setting. Shitty stab vest, an illegal 3D-printed machine pistol, and an old bulky headset and jailbroken smartwatch to sync with his Visor. A far cry from the walking census disaster that he'd become 10 years later.

Well, I forgot to post anything for like 6 months, but I'm not dead and I'm still composing, so I should really post again. Here's some stuff I made since then. I think it turned out pretty well, but it's hard for me to say, since I made it.

So I was considering scales, and then I thought about what would happen if I just played in two totally different scales at once with different key signatures and everything. Now this exists.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Th6fCmD203nIo11JFcBXdKn9HS0LTu-T/view?usp=sharing

And a song inspired in part by the game Wandersong, because it had some really cool accordion playing and I decided to try writing with the accordion. It's only one of 5 instruments that plays, and it's not the core instrument (which is flute), but... Somehow ended up the longest song I've ever written, at 4 minutes 30 seconds. Not really that long, but I've mostly written really short songs, so...
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KGMfHD5ThcAg1JZzdYDAea6e0oV432bo/view?usp=sharing

If you took the time to listen, thanks, hope it turned out alright.

I tried to write poetry, but I can not translate into English ( please help! ). :-[

Я лёг с подругой на диван,
А за окном шумят метели.
В тарелке плавают сморчки(грибы),
Признаться их мы не доели.
А за окном всё падал снег,
А мы давно вдвоём потели.
Сказали делаем урок,
Но всё же оба покраснели.

I lay on a couch with my girlfriend
And snowstorms  happen outside .
Mushrooms are floating in a plate,
We have not finished some of them.
And outside a snow was fall,
And we  together sweated for a long time.
We said we’re doing lesson yet,
But we together turned red.

new prototype, this time its a 2D sandbox survival game. scripting the player movement and the world generation algorithm has been a blast. the sad part is that i cant make large maps right now, need to find a solution for the data management, either the game taks forever to load due to making all the blocks in the map at the start or it kills the memory when trying to check and update the blocks around the player.

so far my programming skills have sufficed but now im getting into stuff i dont know shit about basically.

Double post because it's been a few days.

(https://i.imgur.com/sI3G8AF.png)
A project I've been wanting to do for a while unrelated to others is being put into motion. Always an "Ah I'll do it later," or "Not right now, some other time," sort of deal. In light of a few things (chief among them actually coming up with a good idea and some mod updates,) I've decided to get things in gear. Nowhere near even pretending to be done of course, and this'll be a big project, but still.

Premise is based in citizens living under The Church of The Light trying to tap the caverns and cut out the dwarven guilds in the silk trade, as well as exploit things added to the caverns via mods (for example, a couple moderate to high value dye plants.) But, as will be stated in another page, dwarves are drunk greedy assholes - and dwarven merchants are the greediest. And likely not to take kindly to someone undercutting them in the silk trade in human territories.

Overall, it should be pretty interesting - assuming I can find a suitable evil biome so I have plenty of weird shit to draw courtesy of ZM5's mods. And hence the large loan - a large chunk of what I need will be expensive iron equipment, plus gear to arm an escort detail to take out various hazards and probably closer to 5000 points really, should be plenty to not have to skimp on armor and weapons along with necessities and the iron disc I need for the sawmill.

And yes, I'm aware the right-to-left set up might be disorienting, but I've cocked up before, so I may as well cut out the middle man and embrace it to the best of my ability. I haven't read anything with pictures in it that came out of a left-to-right reading source that wasn't Cathar's stuff in years anyway.

Further work gets done. I have a name in mind now for the fort, though I still have yet to gen a world, which is why the two doing the talking still have no faces or hair really. In case it hasn't been figured out, I'll be using Dwarfest Dungeon as one of the main mod elements (similar to a separate project I'll be doing much later down the line, Irontorch, which I showed some stuff for a while back.) I'm hoping I'll get a Crusader or Bounty Hunter among my embark crew, cause they're my favorite classes visually.

Spoiler: Even have a good intro together, though it's not my own doing. (click to show/hide)

Kind of a boring weeb-y reason, but doing it right-to-left feels more normal because of that I guess.  :-\ I imagined it in that sort of format, and figured I may as well run with it that way.

It is a bit jarring for other people though, I'll agree to that. Cause Egan's not the first to say that to me.

Wait, that writing format is unusual? Huh. I didn’t even notice. I guess it’s good I don’t do comics. Then again, I can’t draw, so I probably have bigger problems in that case.

Either way, looks neat.

Oy vey, it's been a while since i posted here! So much awesome stuff folks, great work all round. :D

Reason why i've been mildly absent is partly because of Stellaris (as is usual) and partly because i've messed around a shit ton with Linux, got tired of Windows' bullshit. Sadly still have to keep a windoze boot around, my tablet won't work right on Linux. Full honesty, nearly a dealbreaker, even though i love how much Linux lets you mess around with everything. :V

It is, for native English speakers. More so when it's an English speaker choosing to do their storytelling like that.

Course maybe I'm really just a foreigner who's unusually good at speaking and writing in English overall, and all these years I've been fooling everyone!

it's digital brushwork. One of the clip studio updates came with some very flexible new watercolour tools so it can look and behave a bit more like the real thing, like the textured blender tool I used for merging different strokes and creating pools of darker paint without the usual pool boundaries applied to strokes. It's kinda like having a digital water brush for thinning out areas and moving paint  :)

Finally done. Because of how much of a derp I am with sticking to a project without the right music, this was multiple days of work Consistency issues with it, but everyone else I showed it to liked it.

ZM5's DF install is fucking strange, since this consisted of what I thought was a pumpkinhead skeleton from his horror pack, some kind of possessed cultist and witch from his diablo pack, and left 4 dead infected. The pumpkinhead fought the infected with a boathook made of magic World of Warcraft bullshit metal.

Keeping with the lyric I chose from Dreaming in the Daylight, the "dream" here is more an expectation - that Katja, the girl, was just the AI admin for the Hadron Leyline station, not the hacker he'd saved in Redwood a few days previous, with DJ in the center simply having a random memory of that.

The lesson? Not all expectations are correct. Instead of a talking toaster you get a girl who doesn't get out much except to fill roster for a handful of salvage crews.

I managed to draw the four-faced living beings sticked to each other with wings, but Ophanim... I managed to sketch one, then, exhausted, I moved on to Moses. I love Ezechiel's vision, it's so freakin' awesome... Yeah...

A crow's nest. It's rough because I only cared about seeing if perspective could be applied well (apparently it can). Next stage is to redraw it with better lines and add a flirtatious dwarf, an underage half-elf and an exasperated wood elf. Given the limited space this is going to be fun. And, for my limited artistic skills, quite challenging. Fun times ahead :P

I found an old folder full of references for modelling, and figured I may as well start getting rid of them by actually making stuff.

So far I've started an axe. It may be unnecessarily high poly.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The basic shape is finished, and I dropped it down to only 900 vertices, from ~3800.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Also with basic textures for the handle. Though I'd like to get better at stylization. I'll be looking up how to make a decent stylized crystal material for the axe's head once the handle becomes passable.

I really like the egret. Though for some weird reason, Twitter images don't show right away for me. I have to go to the image's url and then come back and reload the page for them to show.


Messing with a crystal material. It's starting to get a bit closer to looking good..

I just need to tone down the noise of the edges to make them look a bit cleaner, i think. And make sure I don't turn displacement back on by accident.

The egret is really great, and yeah, Twitter does some strange things with throttling users or something from what I understand.

Anyway, I drew a character from an RPG I'm part of: Philena the undead winged kobold paladin.  I didn't feel like drawing weapons and armor so I just drew her in a dress.

I think the axe is done at this point, after a few passes in Substance Painter to add more minor details and smooth out that weird border by the blade's edge.

I still feel like the handle should have more details, but I couldn't come up with anything by the time I felt done with the head, so meh.

Finally getting around to this thing. I genned a world, first try, with the perfect conditions (only downer was the megabeasts, which were a very lacking bunch with most of the cool ones being dead and replaced by lame stuff like giants,) got an excellent embark party in terms of personalities (including a pessimist and a commerce-abiding optimist,) though the castes left something to be desired - three commoners, two houndmasters (blunt weapon users and animal trainers,) musketeer (ranged fighter, she got saddled with woodcutter duty,) and a plague doctor (useful overall, but she's a bit on the cowardly side.)

The only thing I really lack is suitable looks for most of them - the people of The Dark Church are mostly very samey looking, with bronze eyes being universal it feels like, and shaved heads being in vogue among both men and women; muttonstaches are also extremely popular among men if the houndmasters and leader are any indication. Although I'm keeping the leader's game name of "Bun." Yes, his name is literally "Bun." It's the best shit ever.

Hell, their god of war is called "The Great Hero," their current pope is a Crusader, and the place they're set up in just lined up too fuckin' perfectly - the next closest people are cannibals, mutants, husk-afflicted, and green flu victims, with the buffer consisting of a dangerous mash-up of savage evil flesh marshes and savage good woodland that extends from the evil mountains to their south up to the inhospitable glaciers to the north.

The initial cover, with words...

And without.

Not my best work, especially the fire and faces, but I just wanted it done. If anyone wants in on the fort in question, in which I'll be playing as the Light Worshipers from ZM5's Dwarfest Dungeon mod, if it wasn't obvious, lemme know. Still, it's gonna take a while since I still need to finish all the prologue pages despite having embarked, and that shit's gonna take a while...

I did make 4 on time, i just forgot to post it here. And finally, an extra "bonus" thing, by which i mean i had an anxiety episode (wasn't too bad, don't worry) which i decided to make vent art about. I should note in advance that it's a lot rougher than my usual stuff, and isn't really pretty either, but dear god was it a dump of emotions i've not experienced in years. Really intense experience pouring all that anxiety into a drawing. And now that i've hyped you up, it's time to disappoint you:

Spoiler: anxiety (click to show/hide)

That's the best way i can sum up how a panic attack feels to me. Ain't pretty, but neither is anxiety, and this is an important piece of stylus flailing for me.

I am flattered, he's supposed to be cool. It's actual hair, 'cause he's a wizard. A sort of Heracles in the frog world, he was guarding it, waiting for call in from higher beings when something needed to be done. He was a good guy.

There are many reasons not to use watermarks, but the big number one is ; it is the most hamfisted way to copyright your artwork, as it limits the enjoyment of the viewer and feels really obnoxious. You don't want to put anything between the viewer's eye and the visial medium you're producing.
Tho the true real reason is using watermarks hexes you and brings misfortune onto your legacy (don't use watermarks)

On the last day of FFXIV: Stormblood, before the new expac came out, me and my squad (That's what you kids call your regular gaming buddies, right) took a series of photos as a sort of faux road-trip around all our favorite areas of the game. Made 100% with in-game resources and editing. FFXIV has a posing and editing feature built into it.

Sadly we have a 4th member who was unable to make the party :(

We pretended they were the one taking all the photos.

Looks nice! As you say, leaves need some work, but yes, better than last time, and the scene in general is neat enough that it doesn't really bother me. I demand that this well be magical but you can't get any wishes because that accursed tree blocks any coins going down. :P

Thanks. I like the overgrown turtle. I guess because of the earlier picture, it reminded me that Torterra is a Pokemon that exists.


My first thought for Legendary was a sword in a stone. But I'm a bit tight on time today, so I tidied up a half-finished sword I had started a few days ago. It might look a bit familiar; it's based off of Shook's sword from a few days ago.

So, I made a NURBS reconstruction of the STALKER Vales detector, so that I could add a dovetailing system, so that I could 3D print it for a friend that requested it.

(https://i.postimg.cc/s26JJqLX/NURBS-detector.png)


Since this is now a vectorial 3D volumetric model, (no, it is NOT a polygon mesh! It is NURBS!), This thing could be used to derive an injection mold shell to make a very nice COSPLAY prop, if they really wanted. (EG, embed a raspberry pi, and a small LCD display and some goodies behind the buttons, etc.)

Basically, a 3D vector model. It is made of mathematically defined surfaces, not polygons. It has infinite resolution.

Considering I used the original polygon mesh to create a point cloud, (mesh vetricies), and then treat it like a reverse engineering project... 3 days hard work.

First part of the detector has come out of the printer.  Nothing fancy here, just the bottom "sled" part.

(https://i.postimg.cc/BZND2hkY/20191020-231305.jpg)

I am kinda pleased with how well it printed though.  The middle part (with all the buttons and stuff) is in the printer right now. Wont be done for several hours yet.

EDIT

It is now several hours later.  The second part has come out of the printer. It's a little rough, but not terrible.

Once, my dad bought me one. We were in South Africa, on a road trip across the land. We stopped by some two waterfalls, we climbed on a rock, took our slings, and fired pebbles at the waterfall. For some reason. But it was fun. Oh, the nostalgia.

Dad showed me a small swamp where he was playing as a kid.  He said there could be a crocodile. There wasn't, but some two cool guys fished out a stingray at nearby beach.

Wow, dad and his African childhood had surely great influence on my frog fantasy work. I have some more frog drawings, be prepared! Until I get at my secret hideout, out of the screw press of the society, where my power will be back... (And where's stable internet)

Yeah, making interesting races is another great fun thing. They're basically sane frogs with thick skin, some intellect, free will, human-like soul, ability to talk (but they can't pronounce everything well, like R or S, those aren't used so much. K, V, W, L, on the other hand...). So that they are sane race, yet retaining their froginess! That's my effort.

Kvaksas are the same (frogfolk were created from them, all of the first twelve were born kvaksas, but were "cleansed"), but have much longer lifespans, they're not so clumsy (therefore, much more advanced), they pronounce better (therefore, sing better) and have more complex language. And teeth. And they follow Q'uaksna, that's me!

And I must stop it here, 'cause I would end up writing whole threads explaining my froggy lore. Now that I look at it, they would make great DF mod...

What happens when a 3D printer misprints?

Well, depends on the nature of the misprint.

In this case, the part let loose from the build plate before it was finished (and while I was napping), causing a big wad of plastic fibrils to be extruded into thin air, and balling up into a hunk of crap.

Sometimes, the drive belt skips a notch, and there is an axis-alignment error from that, making the print have part of it shifted a bit in the axis that had the belt slip.
Other times, the bed is not properly level, so the initial layer is printed like crap.
Or, the hot-end is too hot, and the plastic sags after being extruded..

Really, there's a lot of ways a part can misprint. (https://rigid.ink/pages/ultimate-troubleshooting-guide)  Most of them are corrected by proper calibration and maintenance of the printer, and or-- more sensible slicer settings. Some are just bad luck, like the failed print I experienced. (I have taken to using some small neodymium magnets to act as "clamps" on the brim of the printed part (one on each side of the build plate, with their attraction to each other serving to give the 'grip' of the clamping they do), to better secure it, for parts that have demonstrated a tendency to release prematurely. It works pretty good, and is what I did in this case.)

been trying to improve my map making skills. this is the latest resutl so far (current size s 6000x4000), its a mixture of topographic brushing over noise in order to expose some kind of elevation then port to Wilbur for extra land featuring and then import back as a new texture with some gradients applied to show both elevation colors and biome colors like icecaps or deserts.

still, i think its missing something but im not sure what i need to fix. the idea is to make it into a texture that i ca later put on a game engine for walking around

This one's more WIP-y than the other, but DJ spent three years as a PMC. War is never cheap, but some people are willing to foot the bill of hiring personnel like those of Grey Wolf Security.

Not quite done yet, but this thing is almost done. More than a few near-misses, but both sides are working against trucks in motion and whatnot.

Inktober's over, and I'm surprised I made it through. It was fun, but it was hard to find the time to work on something every day, between work, family, friends, and to be honest, my own general laziness. If I find myself with more free time next year, I might do it again.

But now I don't know what to do with my admittedly limited free time.

That minor detailing's great, man!

Once, a friend of mine, seeing me setting a papercraft scene, said: "You're so precise about these, don't you wanna start doing 3D models?"

Answer is no, for BlackFlyme's work keeps me completely content. I would love to see a car. You shall be given Velaka's blessing, should you succeed on your difficult journey...

No new frog images, though, the world and lore is enlarging. Dictionary of Kevekiii Kvakeii has lots of new words, frogfolk calendar was set up, and from the first twelve frogs, their fates were written, now population of frogfolk counts 103+ frogs, distributed over 5 clan households, and first bits of different nations are appearing, as the frogs are being differentiated, there are six families of frogfolk, in which their members share traits with each other. It starts to have sort of biblical atmosphere...

Friends see me in the subway transcribing texts in Kevekiii Kvakeii, they already started to call me Tolkien's successor... My work is getting some reputation...  ;D

By "classic role-playing" I meant the style seen in Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior for the NES and SNES, than what most western RPG players would think of as "role-playing." When I next work on the page I'll change it to clarify what I mean. (Although, Ultima and Wizardry were closer to FF in the early days than most like to admit...)

The banana is named Pedro, from the peculiar but very sophisticatedly violent, and aptly named, game My Friend Pedro: Blood, Bullets, and Bananas. I don't think he has any canonical link to the bananas in pyjamas, but one can never be sure.

It is undeniably an impressive Pedro.

Cracked the computer case apart a bit, but I'm not sure how much detail should be put in the inside of the case. At the very least, I need to put a fan into that power supply.

And in motion:

Added the fan, but I'm still at a bit of a loss as for what to do for the inside. Like if there should be wires, or a fully modelled motherboard with things like a heatsink, cpu fan, and RAM cards, or if I could just get away with throwing in a flat plane with "public_domain_circuitry.jpg" for a texture.

I'm also thinking of redoing a bit to make it more stylized and car-like, like making the power supply fan into an exhaust system, but it might just look wierd to have a pipe coming out the back of it, since the front is already supposed to resemble the back-end of a classic car.

Here's all the bones so far as well.

It's going to take absolutely forever to finish rendering. I hope the glitch effect ends up being worth it. I wonder if I should make the grids move as well, or if that would be too much movement, since the floppy disk spins as well.

I have recently embarked down a project path to produce high-quality CAD data for a retro-computing peripheral from yesteryear.  This is not finished yet, and I am still collecting data, but here's what I have so far.  You can find the thread on AtariAge where I am collaborating with other retro computer enthusiasts here. (https://atariage.com/forums/topic/298255-measuring-a-peb/)

(https://i.postimg.cc/wv3WfTV7/Peb-Outer-WIP.png)

Specifically, this is one of several sheet metal components in the "Peripheral Expansion Box", or PEB.  It is/was a secondary purchase for people who forked out for a TI 99/4A back in the late 70s to early 80s.  I noted that there is very little information about these old relics for retro-builders to work with, (EG, dimensional drawings, CAD models, et al-- For use when designing modern retro peripherals or replacement parts) so I started down this path.

Ultimately, I intend to have a fully accurate 3D CAD assembly for this peripheral, and to create industrial drawings of all of its components. (And then move on to the other parts in this computer's ecosystem.)

I don't know what I did, but I think I prefer the crustier look of the grain. I'll have to go digging through autosaves to get that back.

I use Dassault Systeme's CATIA.  It's what BOEING and pals use.

It has useful sheetmetal workbenches and tools for creating unfoldable geometry. (meaning I can generate a flat pattern for that sheet metal part easily.)

CATIA works great.  It's just "WE'RE BEHIND SCHEDULE!!! SHIP IT! SHIP IT NOWWW!!!!!

Rest assured, the people in the quotes department will not suffer any consequences, as usual. It will be blamed solely on the engineering team.  Like it always is.

My microphone freakin' broke, rendering me crippled in terms of movie making. Since I don't have time, nor money, nor nerves to find a new one, no singing for the time being.

So here you go. The main theme of the project, which seems would serve better as comic now. I could share with you way easier!

https://soundcloud.com/vojtech-peyerl/kevekiii-kawavaka-instrumental/s-PgJzx

It's a hymn on Velakaii and their deeds. Somewhere near 1:03 minutes is place for singer, all way to 2:30.

I don't have the lyrics written in Kewekiii Kvakeii, in latin script it would be:

Post by: wierd on November 27, 2019, 02:44:50 am
Possibly.  It would be an excellent test of the reverse engineering.

Mostly though, this project is for the purpose stated in the atariage thread i linked.  To facilitate the creation of community made modern upgrades.  One frequently discussed one is replacing the PSU inside with something more modern.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: King Zultan on November 27, 2019, 03:06:16 am
What about all the internal components, like the circuit boards and chipsets, are you going to buy those or are you planning to try to make those as well?
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: wierd on November 27, 2019, 03:24:52 am
Those are already documented. I could make one if i wanted.

There are also modern PEB cards being made by the community.  See for instance the TIPI card, the HRD9000 ramdrive card, the various SAMS cards, etc.  The only old part needed is the sidecar interface card (or "firehose" card.) There are diagrams for that card already.

The PEB itself is just a PSU and dumb backplane. No real chips on it just slots and bus traces. The firehose card is where the interface circuits live.

Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: wierd on November 27, 2019, 05:27:18 am
1 sheet perfboard
BoM list of ICs and connectors
NoClean flux
A spool of solder friendly wire
Appropriate replacement for firehose data cable (a db50 and a solderable cup end 44pin female card edge connector)
Rosin core silver bearing solder
A circuit tester
A day of free time

I would use chip sockets to avoid overheating any ICs.

I would personally try ebay first though. Getting the card and cable cheaper than the BoM needed to fabricate one is a real possibility.

Not so much for the PEB itself because of demand and cost of shipping.  Getting the materials will certainly be cheaper.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: King Zultan on November 27, 2019, 07:16:37 am
So its cheaper to build your own one of these things that it is to buy one?

Also what does BoM and PEB stand for.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: wierd on November 27, 2019, 07:45:46 am
Bill of Materials

EG, the stuff you need to make one. 

(For the interface card, you can derive the BoM from the nice writeup and documentation about the card found here. (http://www.unige.ch/medecine/nouspikel/ti99/pebox.htm))

In the case of a PEB, you need 3 20in square sheet metal sheets that are .0545 inches thick, cutting tools, some form of .063in radius forming surface, and at the very least, a deep bench vise.  You will also need 8 60-pin 2.54mm pitch card slot connectors, a long sheet of perf board, wire, solder, suitable screws, a PSU that can output the correct voltages, a power switch, and a 3d printer, in addition to an electric drill, and a cutting disc tool of some kind.

A PEB typically costs about 350$ + 70$ shipping if you get one off ebay. 

This is a fairly typical offering;
https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-Texas-Instruments-TI-99-4A-Peripheral-Expansion-System-Manuals-Games/143399376220?hash=item216344d55c:g:eAoAAOSwibddk1M8

219.99$ + 92.17$ shipping.


That's a big hunk of change.  The card edge connectors cost between 1.50 and 3$ each, the perfboard should not cost over 10$, the sheet metal (combined) should be around 40$, and a spool of material for a consumer printer is around 30$.  Combined that's about 1/3 the price of your typical PEB off ebay.  Plenty of budget for the PSU, switches, solder, and wire.

If you buy the stuff in bulk, you could make several of them, and if you know any desperate buyers, you could sell them for quite a penny.

That is not my intention here though.  More, the models are for doing digital part design for things like "add an i2c display on the front bezel!" projects, where a nice little sheet metal bracket, a small printed plastic fascade, and the module itself are included in the kit, with nice drafted instructions on where and how to modify your case.

OR--  "Replace that 30 year old PSU with this newer, smaller, quieter, and more energy efficient one!" with an appropriate sheet metal bracket to enclose the new PSU that just so happens to mate up with the original parts-- etc.

This is an enabling technological tool I am making--

Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: King Zultan on November 27, 2019, 08:04:50 am
So if you do end up building this are you gonna modernize it, or are you going as close to the original as possible?
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: wierd on November 27, 2019, 08:12:19 am
That topic came up in the atariage thread.  For now, I am being as "Faithful data collection as possible" in the operation, with the assertion that "Custom parts design" can be done effortlessly after, since the herculean effort to reverse-engineer the original will have already been completed.

While not exactly a creative project per-se, I just threw together a 3d print .stl file for an adapter kit for some LED H7 headlights I bought, so that I can put them inside my mazda 3.

(Unlike other vehicles, the Mazda 3 line uses this proprietary adapter for the H7 bulbs, so that it can be retained in the retention mechanism of the headlamp assembly. Basically, it pads out the thickness a bit, and spaces the legs of the bulb further apart, while making it stick out longer.  Since the LED bulbs have a voltage controller chip system build into them, they are thicker and longer after the metal locator platen, and cannot fit onto the mazda adapter for installation.  Instead, I am printing a "Spacer" that pads the metal retention platen area to the correct thickness for the the retainer, after which there is PLENTY of room for the mazda adapter to go on for the connector spacing.)

The scan I'm working from was made sometime in 2000, so it's hard to make out details in a lot of these drawings. Luckily the Stalfos in the maze are based on a bigger drawing elsewhere in the book, so I can redo those. The same can't be said for a lot of the other drawings.

You would have to be a very small child to be entertained by these books. The "puzzles" are the kind you'd see on a cereal box, or a children's placemat at Denny's. I was worried about writing a ton of Javascript to include them in a way that makes sense, but a lot of them can be adapted by just letting the player draw on the images with a <canvas> tag.

Here's the first puzzle I actually felt compelled to write a real minigame for, as opposed to just letting the player draw on the image. It's also the first puzzle where I decided the player actually must solve to progress--the continue button won't appear until you solve all the clues. I have to say, Javascript and CSS are not as hard as they first appear. It's a matter of actually doing something you're invested in, as opposed to just following along with tutorials.

2) Human Monk (Me) with a focus on having been the monastery librarian. Same order as Cleric.
3) Human Cleric with 8 INT who has a pan flute as a divine focus. He has to play it to turn undead.
4) Human Wizard who has kept his origins and motives secret from the party with DM approval...

Not much of a 3D guy, but the texturing sticks out to me more than anything else, at least in the second one. A bit of darker colouring between the rocks in the steps and the shingles on the roof would make them look a lot better, I think. I like them, though!

The models look good. Nice and simple. Some of my notes are probably things you've already noticed, or are intentional.

I can't think of any serious critiques for the first one. It's a bit dark, but that looks like it's what you're going for, and some of the edges are a bit more prominent than in other pictures, but it still fits with its low-poly style. Smoothing might not necessarily look better. The wires are a nice touch as well.

For the second set, I'd second Arx, and say that some minor colour or shading variation would help break up the stairs and the roof, so the stones/tiles aren't blending in as much. It's a cool little house.

For the third, I like that the light is coming in through a crack in the door, but I don't know if it's intentional for it to be coming in through the top as well. The outline also appears to be missing on the front bookcase and a part of the desk/chair. But since it's just one square of the room's frame that isn't outlined, it looks like this was an intentional choice. There's good variation between the books, though. It also looks like the laptop is giving off some light as well, which is a nice touch.


I've got a basic shape going for an axe, but I can't seem to get a decent cloth look around it. All of the online tutorials I've found so far are just for wrapping around simple objects, and don't seem to apply as well to curves or internal loops. It'll take some tinkering to iron out. So far it's very stylized rough.

I needed to look up what you meant by "chameleon fingers" but i'm impressed, you've got a great eye for detail.
You're entirely right that they're closer to Zygodactyl(chameleon style) toe/finger arrangement than to Anisodactyl(common bird arrangement) but most sub-species have only 3 toes/fingers.
By pure coincidence(seriously), they also happen to love climbing and camouflage(though they can't change color :P).

Their current working name is in the filename, but it is "Current"... They're the species mentioned in this post from the Tales of the Deer Wizard thread:

Hope still lives. But it's far away. We can still hope...

It sucks so much to be ill, like, really! My hands are trembling, I'm tired... I drew a single character in span of weeks... And I keep coughing all the time, I feel like freakin' Grievous!

You know, as far as I can tell, I really work on basis of strange moods. I get some nice, new, ambitious idea, I push myself really hard and do something with it. Then, I usually get a new strange mood and abandon the old one. Not necessarily for good...

I used to make maps for Warcraft III, and this problem with not being able to finish my projects was yeah noticeable in my file folder. Something like, I don't know, fifty map files, only few of them I approved of as playable, and only a single one I could say, yeah, it's finished.

I don't know why I am doing art like this, it's probably because if I don't pursue the new ambition, I feel unsatisfied. I always had. This is my lifelong problem, I set my mentality to "Don't waste time. Ever.". That's why I suffer so much in this society.

Oh, I am rambling too. Shoot. I guess I have to justify myself... 'Ere you go, pictures.

Your drawings are really good. I’m surprised it only took a week to do those. I cannot draw even half as good as that, maybe we can create creatures here to use in new forum games? With permission from the makers of said creatures of course

I'm getting new ideas regarding Tales of the Deer Wizard! Yohoo!

Before that, I drew some Celts. Don't know why. Just decided to draw Celts, so made few pictures of random Celts. This, my dear fellows, is how Q'uaksna creates a character, by image or papercraft! Giving 'em visual appearance first, backstories and traits after. These guys could be useful in future...

Been writing and composing my second song in Kevekiii Kvakeii. It's a folk song about Ykewakaii, race of frog giants, inhabiting center of Tej-Hukaukuv, the great continent. They are much larger, high up to human waist. They have rough, hard skin and sharp teeth, also horn-like growths on their heads. Despite they great strength, they can't grip things, and therefore can't practice crafts. They had multiple border disputes with frogfolk in the past, especially in ancient times. The song is a bit racist, for tension was high back then.

Ykewaka

On this paper I also tried to do some illustration, how would ancient frogfolk make images. They consist of these recurring simple symbols and shapes, that have a certain meaning. I of course can see the motives on them, as I know what I intended to draw, but I would like to know, if you are able to tell what do you see, if they are recognizable to a person not versed in frog culture ;D.

You're wrong. The frogs are very noticeable - they're central, and often delineated by a white border.


Honestly, I think they're class as are. Part of the enjoyment is the complexity.

Nice! That's quite a clever idea. So you planning new papercraft stuff in the near future? or just experimenting?
Seeing you toy with new ideas reminds me of myself and 3D stuff, with every render or model i make, i feel like i develop several new techniques during the making of them. Clothes were a real sore point for a long time lol.
Speaking of 3D, i do have a small thing waiting to be finished, i'm hoping to get back to it once (if) i get my current DF modding project released.

Welcome!

Also I didnt notice you asked for feedback:

I think that if you can combine all the images together into one big ole tapestry type thing it would increase the legibility and potential for it! (These are different than the pics surrounding the poem right???)

Also if you didnt explain what was happening in each image, I'm not 100% sure I could puzzle it out all by myself (although some things are readily and visibly legible). But interpret that as you will, if you DID put them all together you could use the inbetween spaces and borders to tell the story of the frogs!

Papercrafts, yeah. DF, sadly, no. No ideas. I am still struggling what did Esem say to Black, what did Zeg <placeholder> in Alak's absence, how did Olmul and his party do on their journey... Also, since I am developing advanced lines of these papercrafts, the older ones don't seems so satisfying anymore. Doesn't mean that I sent them goodbye, however. :)

One big tapestry sounds like great idea.

Well, these images basically mirror the life described with the text below.

In the first one there are three tadpoles in water.

In the second, there are three little frogs playing in wilderness.

In the third one, there is a judge mentoring young frog.

Then we have a large Luuwaurak sparring and training another youngling.

Then there is adult kevek, leaving his home.

Then there is marriage. A judge is blessing the newly married.

Then there are parents with their children, rejoicing.

Then there is a frog with a bunch of small frogs in front of them.

Then we can see burial. A judge near a lit brazier, and mourning family members on the other side.

At last, three judges in a room, with a clay inscribed slab, engraving tools, and some jugs.


The Ykewaka ones - There are two Ykewakaii, front view, side by side with the title. Under the verses, there is a little story mirroring the song, three Kevekii are happily strolling, when they meet an Ykewaka. The next image is the very three frogs, sad, laboring (crafting ropes and nets), while two giants oversee them. You can also notice how the environment changes, telling that the Kevekii were taken captive deep into home of Ykewakaii, a rocky wasteland.

The images all around on the sides don't tie to the song, they're  just a sort of decoration.

Left side : There is an Ykewaka in a rainstorm, then some flower emitting light (might be as well sun, I'm not sure with that one  ;D), big frog figure, side view, the shining moon, Qv'uaksna under some stars.

Right side : Haadees in a tempest, fire, burning in the nighttime, a frog swimming, and the sun.

Kevekii also gave a sort of symbolism to each pattern. For example, the zig-zag lines symbolise earth, mountains, when a frog has these on his legs, it marks their strength. Spiral is a symbol associated with wind, wavy lines with water, dots on backround represents stars in the night, and so on. Of course most of the time the patterns are just used to shape an object one can recognize, but it still gives a sort of nice flavor to the images.

We have frogs in the room. When you want to go to sleep, they start croaking. It's no thundering croaking like lake frogs do, it's a weak, gentle "woah". But it bothers.

Nope! But you suspect right!

I might not drew his face too recognizable, but he has his iconic black attire and sword with a crack. I'll let you guess for a lil' longer...

I made some advancement with the paper guys. The guy with functional trousers has boots, shirt, chainmail... Finally found something that engage me at the moment. Still going through this weird period, but another things that brings joy is working with wood. Tomorrow we're going with that friar friend of mine to craft something. He already taught me how one does make cylinders, to have a base for further shaping, and gave me some spare pieces of wood so I have something to carve in when I'm bored. I have a small rectangle, I thought I could carve some Kevekiii stuff and images. It's fun.

Aw nice!

If you're ever looking for a bit of simple practice carving, I've found that bars of ivory soap shape real easy-- you don't even need proper tools to work the stuff; you can just improvise with bits of cut-up popsicle stick. Very convenient.

Since I don't feel like creating actual 3D art lately, I took some more interesting screenshots from my Kerbal Space Program game and put them through a software called "Fotosketcher," which claims to turn not-paintings into things that look like paintings. Usually it just ends up blurring and desaturating whatever you put into it, but I think these few turned out okay.

I also used to use MS Paint, but now that i've gone over to Krita i only really use it for novelty purposes. :P

I highly recommend Krita. I'd go beyond saying it can compete with paid options and say that there's pretty much nothing an artist frequently needs that Krita doesn't have. Every time I've wanted a feature from PS, Krita has had it or an alternative.

I've been working on this little prototype about a robotic vehicle using an arm to solve physics-based puzzles. I want a short story-based game with a deeply pessimistic plot, and some game mechanics that are both original and true to the exploits of real Mars rovers like Spirit, Opportunity and Curiosity.

Game physics and my own abilities being what they are, it's not quite coming along yet. It feels somewhere between a wacky party game and an (insert any game with physics) glitch reel.

Also, digging through my forgotten projects, I uncovered folders of old, containing an epic fairy tale. I was making pixelart in MS Paint back then to amuse my younger siblings... From a humble start, it went on and on, I did for years, and...

I'm just amazed how deep I went into that lore. I found maps in the folders, written tales, records of various timelines, all centered about a magical land I called, of course, Žabí Údolí (Frogvale), ranging from Mount Kvakvůna to northern snowy peaks. It's just... Wow. So much creativity...

I feel like I might lost it. This ambition, this effort. I hope not...

Now that is a good question. Reminds me of that pink chipmunk/rat thing in Sonic Unleashed. Is it that? Man, Sonic games' CGI cutscenes along with Pixar movies were some of my biggest inspiration for getting into 3D. Though the story of how i actually made my first model is a rather interesting one.

While i know my old stuff was objectively inferior in technique to my newer stuff, my newer work just doesn't have the same kind of energy and spirit that my old stuff does, its hard to explain, like something is missing and i can't replicate my old stuff anymore.

Just to illustrate my point a little, here's a render that i made for Terraria's monthly art thing a long time ago.  This was made at most 2 months after i got into 3D, on my old prebuilt PC with a GTX 760.

Can relate oh so much, even though i've vastly improved in terms of skill over the last decade. Back then i drew so much different weird shit, now i mostly just draw dragons, dinosaurs and anthros. Not that i dislike drawing these, but i feel like the untamed creativity of the past has kinda given way to technical improvements, and i'm not sure how i feel about this. :I

Inspired by my recent (mis)adventures in Wizardry, I've been trying to come up with a template for drawing my own 2.5d dungeon tiles.

(https://i.imgur.com/jnbmgmD.png)

(https://i.imgur.com/nRH803G.png)

(https://i.imgur.com/EMrQroL.png)

The perspective isn't great:

(https://i.imgur.com/r0QbuJq.png)

but I think it's pretty good, considering I only have 10 sprites and I've seen 16 or more suggested in others' projects. The real work will be coding a system that actually assembles all these images, as opposed to mocking them up manually like I've done here.

I'm slowly ironing out the perspective and alignment issues, but it's coming together. I have some different wall sprites that aren't shown in the mockups above, but I'm tired of working on it for now and haven't cut them out from the drawing board onto the sprite sheet.

When you say "3D dungeon crawler" or even just "dungeon crawler" people assume you mean games like Daggerfall that are fully 3D and have continuous movement, as opposed to grid-based dungeons made of right angles. 2.5d was the only descriptive alternate term I could think of.

It's not so much the perspective as the rendering method. It shows a 3D perspective but is made up of sprites arranged on a flat plane.

Acthually it has only two dimensions, 2.5D games almost never have a variable for height
For perspective, you're looking for a 1 point perspective, so all the lines should be either hotizontal, vertical or converging toward a single point. In your last picture, the lines are diverging for some reason

It's because I just copied the near-left-forward wall and moved it instead of drawing a new wall. I thought I might be saving time, but it's so ugly as to not be worth any time that may be saved when drawing the actual walls. I drew some extra walls to correct the perspective and it looks a bit better.

Odd, i always imagined Flax with a way more youthful, almost elf like face. Didn't expect him to be a rugged, middle-aged dude. :P
In all seriousness, its pretty good, I should probably save the image for reference and finally start building a refs folder for that one "small" project i was planning.

Gods, i have more than a dozen "projects" sitting unfinished or unstarted and many more forgotten, because i'm afraid or anxious of taking them on.

I've decided to run a CYOA for a private group focused around kobolds flying through space in a Newtonian instead of relativistic universe, and chose to do a game setup phase where the players could suggest or vote on alterations to the species and go through a character creation process.  Here are some random images I made in Aseprite for it, which at least let me get some use out of the program after I gave up on my game dev project:

Spoiler: Initial Design (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Some Head Options (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Some Limb Options (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Biology Options (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Final Settings (click to show/hide)

I'm a touch disappointed that the players chose to get rid of the horns to replace them with frills (not even an option I drew!), and that nobody wanted kobolds with hooves.  They even wanted to take the male kobolds' cute little nose horn away.  Ah well, maybe giving the players the options to change all of this was a mistake, but I knew I'd be wasting effort on this stage.

The jury is still out on whether or not I plan to continue with the pixel art style for the game or if I'll switch to something more traditional.  Pixel art is fairly easy for static pieces like this, but not so much for more dynamic stuff where every pixel counts.

Oh yeah, I am.

That text is some random medieval alphabet I found, but what's so neat about it is that it's not about memorizing each letter, but rather learning these patterns and decorations on it so you can "build" your own.

Heh, once I was helping at summer camp we needed to write an ancient message for kids to find, and I was like: "Hey guys, I can draw some nice letters!", so I was assigned to write a letter with these letters, and after a hour and half or so the boss came and was like: "Ur finished?", and I was, I showed him, and he said "We need two of them. For both teams."

There was no extra hour and half though. So we had to do with just one ancient message :D.

I don't know, it's just weird. I don't have any goal right now to push me forward, so I can only dig my ancient works. So here ya go. (But I can try  ;))

They're all in Czech. I love my language, it's beautiful. Definitely harder than english, tho.

From time to time I try to translate my favourite songs from english to czech/Kevekiii Kvakeii, it's interesting to compare these and try to cram it to the song. They're all different, each has it's own unique aspects you can't get with the others, it's neat.

The only thing I quite don't like about czech is you can't do Dr Seuss like poetry with it, cuz czech has fixed stress on the first syllable. But at least I don't have to learn every single word like an idiot because there is no order in english pronunciation!

Sorry, Englishmen. I had to rant. No offense. English is pretty too.

Do any Slavic language has "Ř"? I think "ř" is unique to czech, it's funny when strangers try to pronounce it.

Very nice looking doodles, Q'uaksna approves.

I was digging through the comic folder, and found two of my longest-running works, Fotepiana and Fable of the Mysterious Ogre. I'll cover the latter today, cuz they're just long. Though they share the silly light-hearted nature of these comics, these are a bit more "epic", if that makes sense. Still full of references and jokes, but the story is not dependent on them. Also the heroes get separated quie early one and the story jumps from one to another, that's kinda trademark of mine. Let's unpack this.

Fable of the Mysterious Ogre
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And that's it. I remember making sixth part, where Kyjóc spoke to the frog hero and rebels and tried to escape the kvaksa realm, but... Never finished it. Still, so much substance, how did I ever come up with something like this? Well, I'm glad I did. Some tweaks and it might a be nice canon story. So that was Fable of the Mysterious Ogre, folks. Next up, Fotepiana!

Nothing like that, it's Hercule/Satan you see. A box of fried rice was placed next to him. Everyone turned away to have a short conversation and when they came back his ass was kicked and the box of fried rice was sitting nearby, unchanged.

This would have been what, let me see..... 2001? Perhaps 2002? Long ago, in the before times.

Ok, so i played Ori and the Will of the Wisps a while ago and discovered that MOON Studios actually used 3D models for the characters this time(I guess pre rendering CGI was too much of a pain in the ass after all), so i extracted some models, did some cleanup and rigging then rendered a sort of a "alternate universe" scene inspired by a scene from the game itself, so this image probably means little to anyone who hasn't played the game. Playing games and messing with models is why i've been pretty inactive lately. :P

IMO, Ku deserved to be much bigger part of the game than she was. Also, i finally got to do a wide-angle render yay.

So in short? I did a thing:

I admit that without the ingame models, this wouldn't have been possible at all or at least for a long time. So i can't take all the credit.

interesting, she is much bigger than ants, and very likely has a more complicated nervous system, it will likely take longer to kill her, if it even kills her. It could use her to capture ants and other arthropods to spread to other hosts, rather than killing her...does that sound like an interesting story to anyone here?

Looking at the spider person, she has human like characteristics. Maybe this particular species could infect humans too. Imagine a society where every human has this fungus, it wouldn’t kill them, because it doesn’t have to. Every child born gets spores as soon as possible. The fungus could grow slowly enough so that the host grows faster than it, so it doesn’t have to worry about killing its host. The fungus, due to spending most of its time in a brain, has developed a way to use the host’s brain to think. When a host is sick, fungi from nearby hosts connect to the sick one to heal it, so the fungus inside doesn’t die too. Over time the fungi have developed ways to find and kill cancer cells b3fore they can cause damage

And I did not found that young Elucidas, sadly. It was pretty funny picture, I got the idea from one quest, where Nythera goes to Death's realm to meet her ancestor Azhura, which describes Elucidas as "quite a charmer". Which is funny, cuz in the present day he's this Gandalf-like venerable elder, so it was interesting thinking how could he look like in his youth.

That's seriously really good. You should know;  You've got a real knack for drawing portraits (and heck, drawing in general. All of your full pieces are good). I really do like how you've got your own style figured out. I've noticed that you tend to draw eyes with an aggressive inward slant, guess that's part of your style? I wouldn't mind getting my portrait drawn by you haha (and i mean my real face lol. Though seeing you draw something with less "human" facial features would be cool too). Honestly, keep going and improving and who knows how good you'll get.

Since we're already sort of on an AdventureQuest/DragonFable theme, i've actually got a real life tale related to AQ, i'd write it up and post it in exchange for a pencil drawing of a Moglin Fiend from AQ lol. (Its just a small incident that happened when i was a kid.)

Post by: Quaksna on April 05, 2020, 05:28:55 pm
What is it, an inward slant? Doesn't compute  :)

Despite being locked at home I can't get invested in anything... But I think I should push myself and finally do something. And since my drawing power got stronger (and I finally thought of some idea) I think our friend Blackhoof might get an update soon... Even if a single one, the hiatus was too long!

-Drawings- aren't the onlu thing I'm thinking about in thesr sleepless nights... I considered that idea of frog webcomic someone proposed further, and I think I have some ideas for it too... In case you would be truly interested, that is. I need some dedicated Watchers, like my precious -Drawings- gang (I love you guys) that would be invested in mad artist's attempts at art. I mean, it could really help me flesh out Egheevin a little bit more, and setting it in mine probably most thought out universe bears some advantages as well...

Bah, what am I saying. You know how it goes, Q'uaksna starts a project, and works on it relentlessly until suddenly he doesn't. I don't know, it's just so weird that I stop being invested in my works before they're finished. And it's a trait I can see over and over in my life. How many times did I write about it here? It's just bad.

Hey what 3 paragraphs?!! What's wrong with me?!!

Anyways, I won't be any better probably. Please state your opinions on frog webcomics and tell me what inward slant is, would you be so kind? Thanks, I'm going to bed now. Oh, I'm in bed... It's 0:28 and I still can't fall asleep. Maaaaan....

Ahh, sustained creation is hard-- we've all been there. Don't beat yourself up about it.

I'm trying to think how to define "inward slant". Is... the eyes are on a diagonal of sorts, with the tear ducts noticeably lower down than the outside corners of the eyes. Yes.

Not that this is inherently bad or wrong, it's just most common to have those "eye lines" mostly parallel (https://puu.sh/FuvA4.png) for more realistic pieces. As long as you're aware it's totally fine, as there's a lot of individual variance, and i know i draw eyes far too large for higher brain functions to have room in any of the heads i draw. :V

You're both entirely right, sorry for causing confusion for you, Q. That was not my intent. I likely used "slant" in that context because likely some software i use, uses that term for it. In retrospect, "tilt" is probably equivalent and less likely to cause confusion, especially if English isn't your first language.

There is a enjoyable chapter where he is going to Jičín but attracts too much attention so he goes to barber to get a more civilized look. The poor barber can't do a thing because this guy has freakin' birds nesting in his hair and bees in beard, and they have to catch them and put in box and cage... It's hillarious.

Hey... Peter Jackson ripped off Rumcajs!

Yeah, he definitely has superpowers but also weaknesses. He was captured and imprisoned multiple times and once he stumbled over a giant and got foot injury... There. He's pretty balanced, I think.

Using Paulstretch in Audacity with a stretch factor of 1.0 on planar image data produces very colorful, if incoherent, images. I swear, the original image was an actual photo, not the resulting psychedelic splotches of color. Changing the Time Resolution changes the 'fineness' of the result. I still think these are interesting despite them being complete failures to me.

Oh, he indeed does. Well, he's not  :D.

Also the symbols aren't that important, but, maybe for clarity:

In the philosopher picture, these "H" symbols are question marks. The philosopher thinks that Egheevin is a "water" world, hence he has two water layers in it, one at the bottom and one atop of the sky (yeah, frogs believe there's water in the sky). The layers of Egheevin goes here as following: Water, Earth, Wind, Water, Magic, Fire, and beyond the world is the perfect being (symbolized by letters GL). The symbols next to the layers are marks of Velakaii and their names, as the frog tries to figure out their hierarchy, if they have one. Between the perfect being and Velakaii is another being, that is not perfect and oversees the world (also said to have created the Velakaii).

In the magic pictures, there is this layer scheme again, and on the other side some pictures of utilizing the Ivaakil - Bending and morphing of existing elements, creating new elements, mastering control over the elements, mastering control of yourself and mastering control of other beings. The stuff wizards create from Ivaakil ceases to be pretty quickly, it is labelled as "imperfect", and therefore perishable. Only beings of tremendous  power, such as Velakaii, can create something long lasting from Ivaakil, but even their creation won't last forever - and since Egheevin was created by Velakaii, as well as some other worlds, it will crumble back to nothing eventually.

And Dervak has flying boat. Filled with symbols of wind, flying serpents, and some enchanted words, like: Nuleel Des Vai aalweekyve (Through wind shall you run) or Havek Haadees Wukdal Vai aalliijkyve (As Haadees himself shall you fly).

I wasn't aware that you had experience with 3D Models, Quaksna. Guess life is full of suprises.

Kinda miffed actually, since i can't do any 3D stuff myself right now. Still waiting to get my new GPU.
Also since you're pretty clearly into Sonic stuff, when will we be seeing a Sonic OC from you? Okok just kidding :P.
hmm... Then again, i am a big fan of the Ori games, so i'm in no position point fingers, lol.

Nor do I. Apparently, I can't print him and I can't possess an army of Knuckleses >:(

Because of quarantine, I am unable to contact my master and continue in art of carpentry. It's sad...

As for the OC's... I don't really draw OC's. Sometimes I draw random stuff tho, I have some sketches of custom stuff using the Sonic artstyle, and even a few "characters" I suppose? Wouldn't call them characters. They're like the Celtic dudes I once posted 'ere, random stuff.

There is however a certain comic in the vault of ancients... Where Sonic characters were thrown into fantasy medieval setting and fought for glory or something... Hey, that might have been my most recent comic, with some actually decent imagery. 5 sheets, or so. Should I pull it out? It's in english and it's mad.

Is a cat some transcendental being that it generates different results?
Basically, I did wavelet decomposition on the unedited original image, which decomposes an image into many layers (7, in my case). These layers sorta represent a certain level of detail, with the higher-order layers being very fine detail, and the lower-order layers representing coarse detail. I removed all the finer details of the image, basically, so now it's just a blurry blob in the shape of a cat lying down on its side. That's good, since that's the texture that I wanted the final image to have. That's why it all looks like a blob copied over and over, with very vague resemblance to a cat lying down on its side. I personally think it's fascinating stuff.

That's the BS, technical explaination, though. I haven't been able to replicate the effect with other things. Was it a fluke? Maybe the cat truly is a transcendental being. I dunno, I'm more of a scientist than an artist, so being able to consistently replicate effects with different things is important to me.

Edit: So blurring the original image paradoxically creates sharp contrast and large 'patches' in the final image. The stronger the blurring, the larger the patches. So I was right. Let me go back to the patterned woven thing that I still can't describe. Very harsh colors ahead.
Spoiler: No blurring (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Gaussian blur, 2x2 (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Gaussian blur, 4x4 (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Gaussian blur, 8x8 (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Gaussian blur, 16x16 (click to show/hide)

Edit 2: Okay, experimenting with even weaker blurs... I can only conclude that Paulstretch has a grudge against Gaussian blur. Even at 0.01x0.01, the harsh colors return.

So I was fiddling around with some new brushes in CSP. Wasn't supposed to go anywhere, was just testing out the new tools I had downloaded. Four hours later this was the result (an hour and a half of which was just spent on the eye.)

While I was screensharing with someone, they encouraged me to add some stuff to it, like it was the main menu of a game or something, possibly in a similar vein to GTFO (https://youtu.be/-vSYJckIfi8) (Trailer's old, but still.)

I mean to make it look more appealing. It's meant to look a bit frozen over, with the blue-tinge and the white dusting around the edges. But aside from creating actual snow build-up and improving the penguins, I'm not sure what to put in the scene.

The scene is based a bit off of this image I found.

But so far all I've done is brighten it up a bit and add a lamp.

Also wondering if I should make my own thread for this or if I should share new videos less frequently.

I will say that I am a bit proud that this was my first time making a long recording and editing it down later, and I both recorded and edited in a single day (though I had way more footage recorded than I ended up having time to edit). It was my first time using Shotcut, and I think I might want to try some other editing software in the future.

Snow is incredibly reflective. I'd look at adding some kind of cool diffuse sky light and getting the snow a lot brighter. My two cents, anyway!

Adjusted a few things in the stairwell picture. I added a sun light, some depth of field, and some snow, as well as made everything shine a bit more. I also made the stairwell hollow, to make it appear a bit more like ice. Transparency took a lot of tinkering to get working.

I might be wrong but i think he might be a character from the original Dragon Ball anime/manga? Most people don't even know that exists, everyone does know DBZ though.

I have no idea what that half-snake thing is, what its for or where its from, but its freaking awesome. In that kind of grotesque, dark-fantasy way. This kind of stuff why is why i'm into games like Dark Souls. I really wish i could make stuff like that.

The 3D model, i'd guess is for an RTS game? cool. I swear, i too will one day stop making only bipedal furry-bait characters and actually learn to properly make some assets.

She's a character from the web serial Pact, which has quite a few characters similar to her. It's a great read! I'm glad you like it. The key to "making stuff like that" is 100% practice. Somewhere along the line I seem to have ended up practicing drawing for five years, which comes as something of a surprise to me actually, but I was never "naturally talented" or anything. If ya want to do it, work at it, and you'll get there!

The 3D model is indeed from an RTS I'm working on. It's not much to look at right now though. I'm still working on some pretty basic features and it's littered with Programmer Graphics, of varying effort levels.

I've not actually played RS but I can see the similarities. There's a lot of influence from AoE1 especially, and the whole project is partly an homage to it! I love the saturated colours and super-distinctive shapes in AoE1 and to a lesser extent 2.

I finally worked up the motivation to draw something. I found an image from Hollow knight and I copied it. It’s not very good, and it is ultimately a copy of a thing, but It’s something.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit miffed. When I showed him the finished version, and asked if anything was missing, all he replied with was "curves".

Then later, he sent me several different messages saying he "didn't want to be mean, but" there's a lot he didn't like about it. Including stuff that he wanted in but didn't tell me, or didn't include in the reference sketch he gave me.

He never sent any replies when I showed him the in-progress pictures though. It would have been useful to know all of this before I did textures, since a new unwrap won't match the old one very well.

That would be hillarious, but nah. I'm too proud of my manhood.

As far as I know, Fursuit Fox taught the tailor how to make an enchanted suit that transforms you into a fox. Also she's like a meter tall.

Maybe she made hers too tight and couldn't ever again take it off so she stayed fox forever... Why has tailor anime so much potential?!!

hehehe i did mean my real-real face when i made that comment, not the character i use as my avatar, Iris. Not that i mind, its a lovely picture, great work. Im not really in any kinda hurry to reveal myself to the world though, im a pretty private individual, in fact most dont even know whether im a male or a female :P. Im a walking goddamned mystery, and i like it this way.

Oh, fun facts about Iris: Not named after the flower originally, but the part of the eye, instead.  Has 3 different iterations/ forms: The one i use as my avatar, the original. OatBF fan character form (im pretty sure i have a picture somewhere, though my 3D stuff is currently a real mess) and the Hyporious(not a thing yet, its supposed to be a webcomic) form, which is much different. I don't think i've ever shown a full body shot of Iris, again my 3D stuff is a mess. Irises are my favourite flowers, particularly the blue kind.

I like your style, its rather distinctive, reminds me of old cartoons or comics i used to read as a kid.

You want some critique? ask and ye' shall recieve, just dont blame me if you dont like what i have to say :P

The tree leaves in the first image stick out, and im pretty sure they're just a bunch of the same image stamped repeatedly... how close am i? Theres a trick to making that less obvious: Rotate and scale the image, its the same trick games use for large forests, many have just a few tree models(trees are hard), but they rotate and scale them so that they appear different.

Shading is a pain, but its a great way to show structure and form of things, though its okay if your style intentionally omits it for well... style reasons.

My brain is having a bit of difficulty seperating the foreground from the background in the last image.  I know its supposed to be a window, but it looks like a painting. Some deal in the first image, i know Thob is supposed to be in the background with his tree, but i cant shake the feeling that he's floating. A good trick here would have been to have a part of the foreground in front of the background, like the monster's wing for example, even a small part of the wing.

Also Thob needs some new poses, lol.
(Take everything i say with a grain of salt, i dont draw or paint, but i am a 3D modeler who does some (rather well recieved) renders.)

Yeah, it's one of the GIMP vegetation brushes. I think I only added it as an afterthought, since I didn't want to put too much detail on the physical sketch. I did actually rotate/scale a few times, just not a lot.

It's partly stylistic, in that I like to keep these simple - I'd do more shading, but 1) it's difficult to get right, and if it's wrong it just looks worse; 2) it takes a while, and these already take me long enough - I think the town picture took ~8 hours. Once I can work a little faster, I'll add some detail.

Action shots are not my strong suit, much easier to screw up proportions and whatnot. But yes - he needs something to do with his hands.

The trinity is designed to be confounding, and there is few things as blasphemous as a gluttonous orange fascist upholding a bible after clearing the churchground with teargas, so I gave our hippy friend a voice, using the most passive aggressive rambling prayer I've ever heard. They shall get the other cheek in shape of a headbutt.

:___

I don't get it.

The only thing I caught was that Jesus defeated Death and Uncle Sam. What was with the ending? I am rather confused, too!

I'm not sure whether I should be amused, offended, disgusted, or just puzzled.

Heh it's kind of an old joke. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xSORIDw1Sg) I won't ruin the video with all my thoughts about every detail, but the video description gives a crucial hint why I felt necessary to take a shot at religious zealots: with god being dead, the night(obscurantism and death), jesus and uncle sam are our new trinity in a post-truth world. Just as in the old trinity their distinctivness is unclear, in a remote way they are one and representing the tug-o-war between the self, the subconscious and the superego.

Yeah it's designed to be confusing and polemic. But I doubt that you in particular should feel offended.

Hey, that's actually pretty clever. I kinda like that.

You see, I am pretty zealous myself, I am pretty easily offended by stuff like this, depicting concepts I respect in a way I don't like. I just needed a clarification  ;).

You can't judge something if you don't know it, can you? Blindly acting without reasoning and questioning, thinking over the matter is just stupid. By zealous I mean more like being invested in the faith a bit more.

But I would be careful deeming someone "true christian" when you're not one yourself (no offense intended, advice). That might sound like you judge something you're not familiar, which is not good. I see what you mean here, just saying someone could get angry over that.

Enough with rants, on with art! Too bad I don't have any right now  :P

Some frogs
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I got a new phone and am able to take pictures again! However, the old one seems lost, which sucks. And that's because I had a lot of documents there, and most of recorded information about the frog universe. I did save my latter work on a SD card, that I successfully retrieved, yet it doesn't seem to be compatible with my new phone, so I can't check what's there.

History and timelines of the frog universe aren't that important, because I remember it all well. But then there's the Kevekiii Kvakeii and Kvaksea Uair vocabulary. I have frogfolk language backup file, which hasn't been updated in a long time, but it can suffice. I would hat to lose the kvaksa files, because there's a lot more actual grammar. That should be on the SD card, I hope.

Then there's Tales of Sir Peasecod and Adventures of his, which is a fairy tale written in czech that received very positive feedback from my fellow ministrants in our parish, and despite it wasn't a who knows how long epic, that would definitely suck to lose. It's maybe the most competent thing I ever wrote.

So I live in constant fear and hope. Back up your work, Watchers, back up your work. Be prepared. You never know, when your pocket library shall fall into boiling pasta water.

You should be able to get a cord that has a USP on one end and a plug like your phone's charging plug on the other and use that to plug the phone into the computer that way, and you should be able to access your stuff using the phone as an external drive.

I like the technical aspect of the frogfolk warfare with the postures of the warriors and the long weapons to give a better support. I also really like your glyphic frog art that is getting more and more elaborate. It makes for a convincing kind of ancestral drawings or possibly engravings that would fit very well on walls of temples or in ancient manuscripts.

I like them a lot  ;D arm the helpless. I kinda want to see the tatooed one lurking in an ambush with a dagger strapped to it's leg looking all mean and badass. My mom used to collect frogs, like she wound up with more than one frog so people kept offering her frogs untill she redid the decoration  ;D.
Ohoho!
Dragdeler just came up with tactical frog straps! I've thought about where would sentient frog want to sheathe their weapon, and having strapped it to the front leg is genius! At least the short one-handed ones. That way the frog can free one hand and hop instead of crawling, making one-handed frog with strap a very mobile warrior! Thanks, man!

I'm definitely drawing your badass dagger frog, this can't go without a reward!

Having the weapon tightly strapped ain't that bad for a lil' frog as well, now thinking about it. Gauntlet swords were a thing, and it's definitely not useless... You guys really contribute to Egheevin lore!

It was a surprizingly deep platformer with a surprize ending, cool gameplay, very cute art style contrasting with a tragic story. And man is the joker a frightening villain.

Also the end was sad in and of itself, but the more you think about it, the worse it becomes.

Qv'uaksna has spheres of water, west and winter, Agiis has fire, east and summer, they also represent the sides of left and right. Both are supreme magic manipulators so they have star symbols all over them, with Qv'uaksna having moon as well, and more stars than other Velakaii (He powahful).

The battle took place in space outside the worlds Velakaii created, so there should not be nothing present but them. I filled it with powers of the two, as you can see Qv'uaksna is surrounded by water and Agiis by flames.

Is not that much tied to terrain or land. The first one is Waalwaurkūāl, their symbol is hand used and they live by the sea, but often send brave souls to the northern border to fend off giants. The second are the most toad like, Vokawalkūāl, Vokawak means stone or rock (their patriarch and founder, Havokawak literally translates to Like-a-rock). The third one, Kauvedalkūāl, lives in between these two and their symbol is eye. The fourth is Ejiiikyvolkūāl, their are the smallest and most tree-frog like. Their symbol, the straight line represents a path, a journey. And the last are homefrogs.

Ejiiikyvolkūāl and Waalwaurkūāl have smooth skin, the others have rough, with lumps and warts, to various extent. Of course Kevekii marry into other clans than their own, so not all of these physical traits are shared between all clan members, but they are fairly common within the respective population. Also the order they are drawn there does not mirror the order they were chronologically founded, they weren't established at the same time.

Enough talking, here's a picture!

Been trying to make a character, but trying to sculpt has been a bit frustrating. I've made a base myself, but I messed up the face pretty bad under the mask by being careless with dyntopo.

So I've been doing more cartoony stuff to kind of procrastinate on having to make a new head for the base, since I forgot to make a back-up.

It's nice to see that your Kevek universe is getting increasingly complex. It's funny also to imagine frogs eating ginger! As it's a spice that originally comes from tropical countries in the real world, I suppose its popularity could contribute to the creation of an important trade route in your fictive universe. Maybe you could have a Ginger Road instead of a Silk Road?

Kevekii don't. So they eat just small stuff, insect, berries, or mashed stuff. All other frog races have some sort of teeth.

This seems like the kind of thing you could base an anime off of, one where you have to battle ancient tailors with magic needles on top a mountain where you fly around on giant scissors while screaming your plans to defeat them.

Still, I was quite sad reading through the Wikipedia article for Kill la Kill. You know the feeling? You come up with something brilliant and then discover it already exists? Happens more often it should.

But that won't stop me, it shall not! I'll draw even bigger scissors, hah!

But I should sew something in the meanwhile, I haven't picked up a needle since I've become a wizzah. I was thinking of braccae, or a whole early medieval attire. Some Celt-Viking kind of thing. Whaddy'all think?

Uniqueness is overrated anyway... Though I would watch with interest an anime going against something done by Toho, as going against impossible odds and growing ridiculously powerful in the process is one of their go-to tropes.

Spoiler: Explanation (click to show/hide)

I have these pseudorandom tables of numbers that I used conditional formatting to color in and I think they're interesting. Credit to my sister for helping me pick a color palette; I can't do color palettes to save my life. For the sake of being able to see these otherwise tiny images, I've scaled up each image by some integer factor in both the horizontal and vertical directions. These factors are given in the spoiler titles. Each image measures b × b pixels once scaled down by the scale factor. Some of the later ones do get really large. I'd suggest right-clicking and selecting "View Image" or equivalent, then zooming in as appropriate.

Spoiler: b = 7 (scale factor = 98) (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: b = 17 (scale factor = 38) (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: b = 31 (scale factor = 21) (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: b = 257 (scale factor = 8) (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: b = 509 (scale factor = 7) (click to show/hide)

If for some reason you want different numbers for b, I can do any value between 1 and 512 inclusive. And just to satisfy the obvious ones (1 and 512), here they are:
Spoiler: b = 1 (scale factor = 644) (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: b = 512 (scale factor = 8) (click to show/hide)

It's not difficult for me to change the value of b, by the way. I just change one number in my spreadsheet and it updates automatically.

And here's some bonuses (these aren't prime numbers, but I think they're notable):

Spoiler: b = 507 (scale factor = 8) (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: b = 510 (scale factor = 8) (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: b = 511 (scale factor = 8) (click to show/hide)

Edit: Rephrasing for readability.

@methylatedspirit, I love those! I think the 7x7 one is my favorite, it's like a procedurally generated Persian rug.

So I haven't posted here in a while. After a left art school I was pretty depressed and stopped working on art for a long time, but after a lot of reflection I've decided to try my hand at making a comic again. Looking back I found that I often rushed my work and got overexcited in general, so this time around I'm trying to deliberately take my time doing pages and being a little more methodical--and I can't really bottle up my stories anymore anyways. I'm not really sure where it's going yet, but it's called *Iron* and it's a love letter to 40k siege warfare so... maybe one day it'll be good lol.

*I haven't tried out any copy/dialogue yet*

Adeptus Mechadorfus.

The masked sweating guy is hiding from them, is that right? Nice pictures, very nice.

Don't get too upset about art school. See, I'm a useless man with no talents whatsoever, yet that's alright, because in my mind, everything is a craft. Everything is a craft, and in order to get good at it, you just have to do it over and over.

I started with one set sketch of a frog and putting silly hats on it. Then I turned the frog mouth upside down, and acquired two basic emotions. Then frog comics happened. Man, that was a long time ago... Now my frog comic experience comes to use for a tale of tailoring madness.

Pencil's quite the only thing I can handle. Never tried much else, maybe water markers (is that how you call it?) on my papercrafts. Tried them a couple times on drawings too, now I've been experimenting with them a bit again.

Coloring is quite the pain for me, I tend to ruin the original sketch way too often. Hope I get better grip of it.

Is that some sort of censer? It might as well be, 'cause in our ranks of altar boys there is an unattainable skill, spinning a censer rapidly in a full 360° circle in order to heat up the coal inside. I knew only two legends capable of such a feat, they could surely turn a censer into flail. Also reminds me of Illwinter Dominions games, where the Rephaite priests defend themselves with them.

Hope you're not making plans too far into the future, you might never get to use them, due to the nature of RPGs and SG's being largely player driven.

Yep, though this apparently isn't swung as a weapon. It's an anti-lycanthrope tool, which burns wolfsbane and can expel fire. I don't think I've ever seen a censer used as a flail before, but I've seen a few aspergillums used like maces.

A harpy character for a post-post apocalyptic setting, living on the tops of skyscrapers of an ecumenopolis above a sea of poisonous fog. Despite this, it's more of an adventurous cheerful setting.

The drawing still lacks shading, but that can be added later.

A doom mod project I've been working on every-now-and-again.

The biggest change (other than new levels naturally) is a pallet swap to grayscale with red accents, which was a bit inspired from the game "Madworld".  Which required changing a whole bunch of other textures/sprites, so you could still tell the keys and armor pickups apart, or to just have more red stuff in the game, like red health bonuses or the soulsphere being red.

I wish I could post me playing the midi's I rearranged in FFXIV.

I might get in trouble with the TOS lol.

Ok here. I'm doing Christmas songs, those are generally safe - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozlEGHSyqys&feature=youtu.be

It's a private link, don't share it please :)

I don't make music from scratch, and therefore can't claim full credit. I do sometimes put a lot of work into a song, because FFXIV has INFURIATING limitations, such as a 3 octave range, and until very recently an inability to play full chords. It's very much like playing music on a playskool piano. Wrestling a full, complex piece like Despacito into 3 octaves played on a medieval lute is an exercise in patience. This one took very little actual work, I only had to drop it an octave, bring up a few of the lower notes, and add a couple tiny personal touches (the little trill 3/4 of the way through, etc). I'm still proud of my little songs, such as they are :>

The products of Kevek's craft take diverse beautiful forms ought to enhance their everyday life... No wonder the members of the Kevek family seem to show candid expressions of kindness and gentle satisfaction! There are even increasingly elaborate embellishments on the musical instruments!

It's becoming evident that these sentient frogs have sophisticated techniques of wood carving and pottery.

I also really like the fact that their manual and artistic expertise allow them to use some out of the ordinary plant parts, like the bast, and that they have udu-like drums to imitate the sounds of water, wich seems fitting for a frog civilization (udus and artisanal use of bast are two interesting RL things I have discovered today).

On another note, your peasant's tunic is rather pleasant looking!

100% wacom bamboo intuos. It is affordable, does not require pen battery, durable and will remain useful far beyond amateur-level skill. I know professionals who still use it when travelling, and I have no doubt it can be used as a main tool even by pros.
As for software... Krita if you are going for no expense at all. Else it depends what you are going for. Sai/manga studio are good for black and white and quick drawing. The absolute best is photoshop CS x, but it requires to pay a subscription fee now, if you don't already own a previous version. So I'd say, start with Krita, work your way up.

+1 to that, "low" end Wacom tablets are very solid and will serve you well for years, and they're pretty cheap! Krita is also my choice of software, it fulfills my needs and doesn't cost me a dime, which is exactly how i like it. :V
I hear my arting friends also speaking very well for Clip Studio Paint, though as i haven't tried it myself i can't speak for how good it is. It has, however, recently added a time lapse feature in a patch, which is very interesting indeed!

Also hey again folks, turns out that dangerously high stress levels make me retract socially, who'd have thunk? At least i succeeded in what i said in my last post, but in the opposite way of intended. It hasn't been one month, it's been three. :U

Been working on a present for my sister, another insane absurdist comic akin to the ancient frog ones and Tailor anime.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A group of "heroes" who must stop warlord Mates from cooking Hvězdné párky (Star Sausages, Czech pun on Star Wars). As of now, it has eight pages, filled with caricatures, silly jokes and references. If you ever read Jarry's King Ubu, it's written in a similar style - you can see it has plot, characters, and it isn't utterly confusing, but everything about it is absolutely ridiculous. Like, when writing the fourth pages I found myself trying to create a heartfelt moment when Géza Mezgá brought Anton tea and cookies when he was bedridden after he ate the fries on fire... I think that sentence alone can give you a good picture of what kind of story this is  :P

Also I am developing a character-creator thingie for my programming exam, something in vein of CK2 portrait builder.

That's Pečínka (a Roast). You see, in our family lore we made up these creatures called mekavky (they're in the comic as well) , then someone started calling them mečínky, which sounds more cute but also a lot like pečínky. One time my sister this was for tried to draw a Pečínka and it looked more or less like this.

The joke there was that the team needed a captain, and as you can see one of the characters is caricature of Long John Silver from Treasure Planet, here dubbed Long Johnny Barbecue. I think Barbecue was his nickname in the original, I didn't read it in English but in Czech it is once again, Pečínka. So when they're voting everyone shouts "We want Pečínka!" and the roast shows up instead.

Quite a lot of jokes are based on some Czech puns or exact lines from Czech tranlations of various media, so it's quite hard to explain in English, also lots of it is this kind of household lore that exists within our family only.

If you really want to I can try to go through it here, it would surely be fun to me but I'm not sure how much enjoyment you guys could get. Although, some of the pictures are hilarious on their own, so... Yeah. You decide.

That was an interesting little story, while I was completely lost when it came to some of the references I still liked what I read.

Also I do not remember a nobody smurf, probably doesn't hurt that I didn't really watch that show because I did not like smurfs.

Yeah, the smurfs themselves were kinda the worst part about it. There were three separate Czech dubs for various channels here, and they didn't pitch their voices up in a single one (Thank God!) like they did in some other languages, so they were tolerable at least, still not great. That was when Czech dubs were still worth something...

We have quite weird relationship with the show, as some episodes were great, some were okay, and the bad ones had were still very enjoyable to laugh at, which actually brings me to Nobody Smurf. It was one of I think three episodes we couldn't stand, and they've seemed to have the exact same formula:

- have a new annoying smurf exclusive to the episode, with rather extremely lame quirk (quite hilarious seeing how low they'll go this time)
- have them being useless for 90% of the episode, then out of nowhere "prove" their worth to the community

I think you get the idea of what I'm talking about, these types of stories seem to infect quite a number of franchises. So of course I had to make fun of it in this comic.

There's was one, one episode, where Smurfs were legit badass., and it's my favorite - "Smurfs and the Howlibird". First, Papa creates a weapon of mass destruction when trying to make a fertilizer. He orders his fellows to dump it in a wasteland, but the incompetent fools accidentally create a mutant FB out of baby vulture, which starts to wreak havoc and lay waste to the village.

They then evacuate the village, take shelter in an abandoned watchtower, make a freakin' ballista out of a crossbow, and take a last stand against the monster. Absolutely amazing, and the only time I sided with the blue buffoons (the villains were far, far more likeable).

I could talk for a very long time on this topic, but I'll cut my Smurf rant here. It was inevitable.

No new art, sadly (apart from the comic) . But I acquired a sewing machine, should practice with it a lil' bit. No new fabric,  tho, only few scraps of linen. Should be enough for some new headbands...

I still can't quite figure it on my own, I need pre-existing pics to observe, but eh, small steps.

"Reference is bad" is the vilest misconception and baldest lie spread by people who aren't actually very good at art or teaching or possibly both. There is absolutely no shame whatsoever in using a reference image; every great artist ever has done it, and the few people that don't use reference are able not to because they've spent years, or usually decades, working with reference and have a ton of them essentially memorised. The old masters did it (I can't call an exact example to mind, but there were many), artists in the 19th century were using camera techniques, and modern artists still do it -- even ones that draw far more than is healthy for any normal human, like mangakas etc. :P

Anyway, reference is good, end rant.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Quaksna on January 05, 2021, 06:36:03 am
Reference's kinda the only thing that really allows you to make progress in my opinion. Like, you need to look at the thing before you draw it, otherwise you don't know how it looks like! Seems logical to me.

With that quote I wanted to give you an idea of my current power level when it comes to portraits, not an excuse  ;)

In that insane comic of mine, I actually drew so much Treasure Planet screenshots that I got quite good at drawing John Silver, this one's from scratch:

Wow this thread got pretty active in the three hours that i was asleep.

I kind of want to do a "self portrait" as well, been wanting to 3d render myself for a while, but guess what i don't have? Refs... of myself!
"Well why don't you just take a pictu--" It's not that simple. i've learned one thing: there's a difference between a ref and a GOOD ref. Making a face takes the latter, seriously.
I do almost nothing without some kind of ref, but a face is the last thing i'd try to eyeball.

There's a reason my battlecry is: "I NEED MORE REFS!!!"
Unless one is looking to make unholy DeviantArt abominations, good refs are critical in making good art, especially in the domain of 3D, especially in modeling characters.
It doesn't matter how many times you fiddle with the geometry, if you have no reference point for what you're trying to make, you'll never hit the mark.

Shall we all agree that: no matter WHAT you're making, Refs are good. (if said refs are good refs, that is :P)

Not much of a joke though when, a small change of name, and you've got a hell of a character-in-making. Just add a motivation and hit blend. :D
It isn't even that far off from an idea i had for a DF adventure story, involving a world filled with *ahem* beast-people... Inspired by a certain... Other story on the forums... a very boring one i hope no one remembers.

So, i was working on a particular deer man, but... I think i lost the script somewhere along the way.

So, Quaksna, you'll just have to tell me whether this at all resembles Blackhoof to you.

Also featuring a loincloth that i think he's supposed to be wearing, but was forgotten about in a single update.
There's a reason i don't do clothes: I suck at them.

So uhh... See ya' next year?

Wow! There's some really wonderful artistic stuff in this thread today!

The rendering of Blackhoof is splendid and the glow spreading from the green runes in front of him is pretty cool. Looking at them, I realized that the big ᛉ that he holds before his hand is the same rune as the one found on the belt buckle of Flax! But... I checked on Wikipedia and it's the Algiz letter from the runic alphabet, its common meaning being "elk". It's very amusing and it's kind of like a potential vision of Blackhoof's future! :P

I'm also quite captivated by the religious symbol in this drawing from Quaksna. It's strongly reminiscent of some mystical principles. It seems to reflect life, natural cycles and the two opposite arrows call to mind the famous motto: "As above, so below".

By the way, what are Unlav and the Vedavl. Does it refer to a religious community of the frog universe?

I finally must add that I indeed like the heraldic fox of *SUPERIOR* shagginess and that I've always been fond of cute ultra pixelated creatures like the Lozherd of Arx!

I am definitely putting that in the thread, can't stress enough how happy that made me. This is the stuff that signifies what you're doing is worth it, and you just wanna make more and better.

As for the rune, I had no clue  :P Guess God smiles on me or something, this is truly incredible.

I used RTX (misleading name; works on GTX GPUs too) Voice to degrade a picture bit by bit. Here's a flip book-like GIF of what happens as you increase the Noise Suppression parameter by a tiny amount every (2) frame(s). Potential political commentary unintentional; I got this picture as part of a different project that didn't quite pan out, and I just used whatever I had on hand. The irony of using something intended to improve the quality of something to degrade the quality of something else isn't lost on me.

I have an .mp4 version of this, and I would've used it, but Bay12 doesn't seem to support .mp4 files. Sorry for hogging your bandwidth! The GIF's 9 megs, which is gigantic by my standards.

Finished the zebra, at last. I didn't manage to think of a nice hair texture, as, you know, the thing is either pitch black or clear white, so it's rather tricky. Didn't set it in a shield, 'cause it's too big and I didn't have much time. Thanks for the suggestion, King Zultan, hope your needs of shagginess have been satisfied.

Thanks, it needs some tweaking and adjusting still - I'm not completely satisfied with it. Did the first draft maybe 3-4 years ago, but made this version somewhere last year. The longer I leave stuff lying unfinished, the harder it gets to go back to them, so we'll see when (or if) I finish this one.

After banging my head against a wall for a few hours (thanks, FFmpeg), I finally managed to Paulstretch a YUV image. It's... something, I guess. I can't even tell if something's gone wrong or not. Perhaps it's the distortion induced by changing the speed of the "audio" so that it matches what FFmpeg wants? Paulstretch changes the length of audio now at a Stretch Factor of 1, which really put a spanner in the works.

What can I say, abusing technology in ways it was never intended to work (encoding image data in a color format designed for video, then reading said image as audio; a double whammy of "not the intended use") sometimes produces interesting results. "Sometimes" is the operative term.

This works quite well also when loading a random text or whatever file as audio. With luck you find something that makes a good, sharp noisy loop with a rhythm. Used to do that quite a lot in the days when I was learning to make music with trackers.

I knew that the Paulstretch effect in Audacity has the potential to produce these sorta psychedelic patterns when you give it these images in "planar RGB" format. Planar RGB is very simple. You take the R, G and B components of a picture, then you just have these 3 planes of R, G and B stored right next to each other that then get combined to produce a full-color image.

So then I wanted to try this idea in other color formats, just out of curiosity. There's this thing mostly in video called YUV/YCbCr. What that does is store the grayscale image (Y), the blue projection (U/Cb), and the red projection (V/Cr). It depends on the exact format, but I went with planar YUV 4:4:4, which just stores the Y, U and V components as planes of grayscale, blue, and red right next to each other in some way that I'm not aware of without dropping the resolution of any component.

I went into FFmpeg, banged my head against the wall trying to get it to work, got it to convert that nice picture into YUV, put that into Audacity and Paulstretched it. Then I banged my head against the wall yet again trying to get FFmpeg to accept the nonsense it's being fed, and finally got that result. At least it does produce nice color patterns, so that time I spent wasn't completely in vain. Could've gone completely sideways; I'm very sure this technique hasn't ever been published as a databending method. I am completely on my own for the first and last thirds (the parts involving FFmpeg) of this process.

I think I should write about this. I don't see myself as an artist, I see myself as a scientist who just happens to produce art on occasion, so I do want to just publish this method as an extension of the general method as detailed here (https://www.hellocatfood.com/databending-using-audacity/) and here (https://questionsomething.wordpress.com/2012/07/26/databending-using-audacity-effects/). Maybe I'll try with different color formats, since with FFmpeg, I get to mess with a wide range of those. I don't care that my work is entirely reproducible on any computer with the right know-how. That's the point.

Edit: I have no clue how yuv444p, the pixel format I used is supposed to work. It's not 3 planes of Y, U and V stacked together consecutively.

Quote from: Yellow Pixel

It's pretty much that. I knew that the whole YUV thing basically splits images into the brightness component and two color components, so I wanted a colorful image so that the effect has something to work with. Effects cannot create new data, they can only manipulate it.

Post by: methylatedspirit on February 03, 2021, 12:51:00 am
While I figure out what the everloving heck is going on with this format I've chosen, I made (not the original photo, but the results) these. They're all based on the idea of "what happens if I lower the bit depth (roughly corresponding to "color smoothness") of the color components of an image, but keep the original brightness component?" These aren't quite as spectacular as the Paulstretch ones, but I think it's interesting.

Spoiler: Attempt #1: Naively apply Decimator on the final 2/3rds of the image data, making the assumption that's where the color components are (click to show/hide)

It's just a colorful noise filter that seems to skip every 3rd column. How about I just ditch this odd toolset for a bit, and just use GIMP?

Spoiler: Attempt #2: Use GIMP to split the original image into YUV, then random dither the color components down to the desired bit depth (click to show/hide)

Okay, this looks better, but I think the random dither doesn't look right. Now I'm going back to this Audacity and FFmpeg toolset, and add GIMP to the mix. I used GIMP to split the image into YUV, exported the YUV components separately, converted them into raw YUV, then applied Decimator to the individual color components. Reconverted them back into RGB format, and saved the resulting decimated color components. Used GIMP to recombine these images into full-color, and I get:

Spoiler: Attempt #3: Whatever I just said (click to show/hide)

I dunno if there's a dithering method that behaves exactly like this, rendering my effort moot, but I think there's some kind of charm to this.

Sidenote: When I refer to "Decimator", I'm referring to this one. (https://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Audio-Plugins/Decimator.shtml) It doesn't come with Audacity; you have to download it from elsewhere, and unfortunately, it seems like the original page for it has been lost, so I'm forced to point to a Softpedia page.

Did a silly render of Nami from Quaksna's Tales of the Deer Wizard, wearing some clothing. Normally i wouldn't show off stuff like this, but i worked on this stupid thing for so long, i might as well show it off. I didn't really come up with the scene until i had practically finished modeling the outfit.
Featuring an wide angle shot, my favourite.
(https://i.imgur.com/pKnldEf.png)
(x0.5 scale)
This has absolutelty no lore implications, and is just a silly thing i did for fun. Anyway, only epic gamers can hope to uncover what the text is a homage to.
Some upgrades were made to the eyes. Also, i dunno whether i like this hairstyle more or the old one.

To think this all started from me getting a random, stupid desire to see Nami wearing a corset. Then it just kept going until i had modeled an entire outfit. So uhh... at least it counts for some practice in making clothes i guess? A thing i'm known to be shit at.
Like, i was supposed to be working either on the Elysian project or on modeling Gravemoth for ToDW but instead i was doing this, ever since the conclusion of the little subsequence i did. So now i think i'll go play some Terraria or something.

Anyway here is another shot of her in the outfit.

Did a silly render of Nami from Quaksna's Tales of the Deer Wizard, wearing some clothing. Normally i wouldn't show off stuff like this, but i worked on this stupid thing for so long, i might as well show it off. I didn't really come up with the scene until i had practically finished modeling the outfit.
Featuring an wide angle shot, my favourite.

This has absolutelty no lore implications, and is just a silly thing i did for fun. Anyway, only epic gamers can hope to uncover what the text is a homage to.
Some upgrades were made to the eyes. Also, i dunno whether i like this hairstyle more or the old one.

To think this all started from me getting a random, stupid desire to see Nami wearing a corset. Then it just kept going until i had modeled an entire outfit. So uhh... at least it counts for some practice in making clothes i guess? A thing i'm known to be shit at.
Like, i was supposed to be working either on the Elysian project or on modeling Gravemoth for ToDW but instead i was doing this, ever since the conclusion of the little subsequence i did. So now i think i'll go play some Terraria or something.

Anyway here is another shot of her in the outfit.

This whole thing is quite funny when you realize that Nami is only around 0.9 meters tall(~3 feet).

Wow! It's really amazing!

So sweet it must be to work in those fields under the sun, with a little wind softly swaying the grasses. And if in need of a snack, you just need to stick out your tongue towards the small flying insects overhead...

Unless it's not appropriate behavior for a civilized frog?

No, that's the whole idea. Kevekii ain't keen on plant eating, they don't know what a bread is. If they happen to have wild berries growing outside, lucky them, but these are different kind of farms.

Frog races would settle near water sources for obvious reasons, but they would utilize the ponds and streams for another purposes, not just breeding. They would dig channels, irrigate the soil and create artificial wetlands, where they would put a colony of insects, as a food source for the household. And not just wetlands for the flying kind, these food farms could be designed to host other critters such as worms or roaches.

The farm would be frequently visited by each member of the household when they got hungry. In the ancient times, Kevekii would rarely prepare meals, only if they were expecting guests, eating would not be viewed as anything of social value otherwise. Insects themselves, of all kinds, were not held in very high regard, they were considered "bloodless" creatures, therefore of no importance and it was their purpose and nature to be eaten by beings of higher significance.

So I've been experimenting with painting space/layering visual elements vs drawing lines and defining everything with as few strokes as possible... painting always kind of turned me off for some reason, but idk I've wanted to get better at it lately... I guess I've felt like I've been lacking some tools in the toolbox whenever I tried to make comics, like it was hard to just improvise or sketch out scenes, so hopefully as I get better at "painting" I'll start feelings a little more comfortable or natural at blocking things out and adjusting them as I go--rather than trying to get everything right right away? I guess?

Well here's a little side by side.

That's some visually appealing fur, and that's some pretty face on the left, Urist. I like it much more than the other one, I think you did very well with the "painting".

I do well with a pencil, but if I color I severely degrade the picture  :D Takes a while to get used to a new method, but when you've got the overall idea, it ain't that bad. And you definitely have the idea.

Thanks! Coloring is also quite difficult--honestly if I ever do make a full length comic it will probably just be in black n white! But anyways I'll keep practicing, and maybe I'll land in a spot where I can draw x/y/z confidently enough to want to jump back on the comic train.

I'm very grateful for it actually, it finally hammered home how much i've been... Slacking? Like, long story short, i had internalized some weird pride in being able to do this and that with minimal effort, so that kinda made me want to not put in effort, and although i don't regret my relaxed approach to things (can't much change it anyways, i've been violently stressed by studying, and it has kept me going without burning me out), it's just uh how to put it... A bit painful to realize i've been an obstacle to my own dreams. So i'm rectifying that. I still 100% advocate for doing art the way you like it most, i just want more out of myself. :V

So it turns out that you can indeed upload a PNG-ZIP polyglot file to Postimages, and have the downloaded original file work as both a PNG and a ZIP. I can now share arbitrary files using an image host, so long as it doesn't resize, reencode, or exceed the image size limit. The utility to do this screwery is on Github (https://github.com/ansemjo/truepolyglot). You're gonna need Linux (or some other Linux-compatible subsystem) for that tool to work. A better, more advanced polyglot generator can be found here. (https://github.com/corkami/mitra)

Here. This one is a PNG, which is also a ZIP file containing a 7z compressed copy of Dwarf Fortress 47.05 for 64-bit Windows. It's still hilariously large for an image at 10 MB; sorry about your internet connection. This is a very basic polyglot, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Is this allowed?

Many thank! It's almost a shame that i've lost interest in doing pixel art, but in all fairness to myself, drawing freehand like i do now is what i always wanted to do, pixel art was just more approachable with the tools i had available at the time and produced better results. I still have a big appreciation for the kind of work skilled pixel artists can do, it's frankly incredible sometimes!

also obligatory doodles even though i've been far less energetic due to a long string of sub-par nights

I agree.

Moreover, after peering at these beautiful tailoring realizations, I just couldn't resist, and I made a mad trip back in this thread to find some of Quaksa's older posts... Simply because I wanted to see again a few nice depictions of clothes for frogs, and because I thought it would be valuable to rediscover them. By doing so, I have also discerned potential ways for technical improvement that might interest him.

To begin with, a reminder of THE badass magi-priest:

Quote from: Quaksna on October 13, 2019, 10:11:00 am
Wat, wizard and vault guardian of Talak
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We see there a fancy necklace-thingy that seems to be used as a fastening for the two sides of the ceremonial garment (or cape).

I suppose that this or a simple string could very well replace the needle fixing the garment, that we see on this picture. Nonetheless, maybe to use some kind of big metal pin for the same purposs (similar to the needle but shorter) would be neat for a judge frog, because it could serve as a weapon to protect his dignified figure in case of an invasion. Or alternatively, for a very corrupted judge to murder an annoying rival from behind... Even if I know that judges should never be evil!

Quote from: Quaksna on March 26, 2021, 05:03:19 am
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Then, among the twelve ancestral frogs, we see, at the top right, a cool white cape on one of them, that is made of two parts with a panel on the front. It gives a very cute style, that I would willingly desribe as panda-like! (Except that a panda is black and white...)

Quote from: Quaksna on October 21, 2019, 12:01:28 pm
The first twelve frogs
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Afterward, on a symbolic picture of three judges, we can observe they are all wearing a cape. In addition, on the middle frog we can see a fictive pattern that is covering the hind legs. And it has given me the idea that just as the "panda-like" frog of before, a panel could be added on the front, but maybe it could have the same leg pattern, or other original vertical bands of patterns, to increase the appearance and the lordliness of the magistrate.

Quote from: Quaksna on February 03, 2020, 01:52:49 pm
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

One last observation: on this representation of Tróba, a frog character from an old comic of Quaksna, I noticed that the cape is very modest and doesn't cover the hind legs. Therefore, it makes think that such a lighter piece of clothing would allowing freer movements, and would be ideal to travel outside, especially in the hot climates were most Kevekii live. But I wonder, maybe that a string to attach the cape on the front would be necessary for it to stay in place?

By making my last post, I only wanted to explore a bit the domain of frog clothing and try adding a small contribution to it, but now I discover that it's already some sort of full-fledged scientific discipline. It's quite impressive! :D

On the topic of pointy hats, you're perfectly right, it was Dunamisdeos who was so hyped about them.

Here's a proof of it:

Pointy hats! All the best wizards have pointy hats, or sometimes hoods. The only exception are Red Mages, which wear giant feathercaps.

Somebody posted this image (left) on Telegram. I wanted to use it as a wallpaper, but I needed to use the original version, without the question mark. OP couldn't give a source, reverse image search turned up nothing... so, I just did it myself.

This is more a side project than anything else, but I guess it's worth sharing. I've taken raw image data, forced FFmpeg to interpret it as 48 KHz 8-bit linear PCM  audio, then pushed the "audio" into a couple of audio codecs at a couple of bitrates. Then I made FFmpeg take back the encoded audio to spit it back out into raw format. I then got Irfanview to open the resulting images.

For the sake of everyone's internet connections, I've decided to target a file size of 2 MB per image, using JPEG compression. PNG doesn't play very nice with this image in general; lots of fine detail, hard to compress losslessly.

Post by: methylatedspirit on April 05, 2021, 06:49:15 pm
I had a wild idea: what if I pushed image data through a video codec, but not all at once? At first, I was thinking "no way would that work, you'd just be piping random data through a video encoder, something something macroblocks", especially since it looks like this. (Do I need a seizure warning for this?)
(https://i.postimg.cc/BQhs4Nqv/i-wasted-too-much-time-trying-to-compress-this.gif)

Then I actually tried it, trying to confirm that thought, and I was pleasantly surprised at how wrong I was. The codec I tried did really good, considering it's basically random noise. The basic idea is that I take raw image data, force FFmpeg to read it as a 32x32 video (again, something something macroblocks/superblocks/coding tree units), push that through a couple of video codecs, then read back the output and get it back as raw data. It's about the most convoluted way to do it.

(A note on bitrates: a lot of these codecs don't like working with the ultra-low bitrates they've been given. There's a tendency for them to just ignore it and go higher; blame me for going with such a low resolution. They're more suggestions than hard-and-fast rules. As such, I'll be skipping bitrates that I think look identical. I would've gone for CRF/quality scales, but every codec has its own idea for a scale, and the point of 'good quality' varies wildly. Good luck finding a CRF conversion table for this many codecs.)

Isn't it the curse of the artist to always be aiming higher? Although sometimes one does nail it. In my case I always become dissatisfied with it eventually, though...

I think it's pretty cool in any case.


Playing in a new DnD campaign starting this weekend, which means it's time for a new character. Something got me started on the idea of playing an elderly elf (because presumably they exist, since they can die of old age in the DnD-verse, just no-one seems to mention them) and then I started trying to figure out how you have an elf that's lived for over six hundred years while learning almost nothing of use in an adventure, and eventually I ended up with Cirife, 652, professor of Elvish phonology.

He's smiling like that because he really doesn't want you to challenge the assertion that he can turn you into a newt next time you skip the morning lecture.

First of all, that's one of the best DnD characters I've seen, I love it.

Second, you should make the majority of his spells language-based. Explosive runes, for instance. Comprehend Langauges, Hideous Laughter, Glyphs and Power Words.

And in "Wait, didn't I do this already?" (but not really*), I present to you some of the easiest databends I've ever made. It's literally "import as raw into Audacity with funky encodings, then export with said funky encodings". I was just doing some tying-up of loose ends, and these showed up. I can't find any accessible info on the last 3 encodings. They seem to be antiquated encodings made during the Wild West era of tech; I guess they're speech codecs, mainly for telephones and such?

Obviously the placeholders aren't going to stick around forever lol and almost everything will be refined in due time... Hopefully. but at least i've got the foundation in place.

If you haven't the faintest idea what the f these things are(it also doesn't help that everyone but the butterball in the back have default coloration.), i suppose maybe YellowPixel might be able give a brief overview.

I do, but Pixels would be way better at introducing the uninitated to them. He's more... coherent i suppose, i tend to ramble, also actual brain damage right now; think hurts.
But you don't need the introduction, you saw the entirety of the Worldbuilding game, but then again, you're active just about in every thread ever, surely you don't remember everything about every thread you participate in?

Also yes, the two getting exicted about the Placeholder cube is the highlight of this WIP lmao. I haven't created a plant to go there yet... The wonders of the behind-the-scenes of 3D scene creation lol.

I was thinking that's what they were but the way you said it made me unsure.

I remember some treads better than others, it really depends on what they're about and the amount of time they're around.

Whenever you feel ready! I'll be haunting the thread as usual, ready to roll a d20 and see if it's high enough for me to spring out with some nice words. Also can recommend checking out Krita (https://krita.org/en/) if you haven't already, but Gimp is absolutely also solid. I just don't wanna miss a chance to shill Krita. :V

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ahh, i see, the depicictions on the right (the frog, what i guess is a squid, and the last thing at the bottom, which i cant figure out (a serpent/dragon perhaps?) ) are all made up of the repeating linear patterns which are shown in the middle. Plus the frog on the left having what i assume is paint featuring similar patterns.
That is pretty cool and gives the drawings a sort of... I'm not sure whether "tribal" is the correct word here but i can't think of a better word for it right now, it gives it that kind of vibe.
Either way, i think it's pretty nice.

Also, a question, Q: Do the repeating patterns themselves have any meaning or significance?
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Quaksna on May 19, 2021, 09:36:35 am
Yeah, you got it all right, the tribal part too.

Started as a random Kvaksoi sketches and then started defining their original art. The one with the staff was supposed to be a Quarlvák priest of old, before they started wearing robes, wanted to define their decorations. But I wasn't satisfied with this one, so it's a random warrior I guess.

Those in the middle are indeed patterns, each is supposed to portray some sort of surface, like skin, fur, scales, water and so, each having it's own symbolic meaning on top of the aesthetic. And with these patterns you would make more complex pictures, like the ones on the right. Kvaksulu tribesmen would tattoo (kltekk) themselves with these, the pictures reflecting their personal traits, feats and/or virtues they are trying to achieve, each tattooed body part has also its own meaning. Woodcarvers (feképoi) would also use these patterns in their workers.

I haven't come up with the exact meanings yet, aside from some mythological significance of certain symbols. The frog picture kinda tries to mirror the anatomy, with flowing water (blood) and wind (breath) inside, also having lots of "sea" and "moon" patterns, so it's most probably a depiction of a kvaksa. Serpents are associated with wind in this universe, so the lower buddy has lots of that, with soft skin/flesh patterns inside the mouth, scales on the outside, hard material on the tooth. The squid follows similar concepts. Squids are tied a lot to the culture, as well as other sea creatures, so some of the patterns are made to resemble primarily them.

As far as I'm aware Rotoscoping was used in a lot of the older cartoons, so that means it's definitely a legitimate technique for animation.



Also Quaksna that is a fancy looking thing you've done there.

Absolutely yes, Disney's Snow White being a particularly good example as seen when she, in her rotoscoped glory, is dancing among the non-rotoscoped dwarfs. If Disney can do it, so can you. :v

Rotoscoping was also used in Karateka (1984), the OG Prince of Persia (1989), and Another World (1991). Made by the same guy for the first two, apparently. Rotoscoping has a well-established lineage in video games too.

Did this song on request for someone in FFXIV. 

Battleship Mink - UN SQUADRON (Original) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3p8kO6pNoI)
Duna's FFXIV String Trio (https://streamable.com/10cjg4)

Fun fact, FFXIV has done a promotion with FUCKING FENDER to bring a no-shit Stratocaster into the game, presumably after I sacrificed all those goats in order to beg the lower planes for more instruments in FFXIV.

Gonna use this song to calibrate my techniques tomorrow when it releases.

Misusing command-line text processors to databend images. This is the source image. (https://unsplash.com/photos/FO7JIlwjOtU) I currently know of uwuify (https://github.com/Daniel-Liu-c0deb0t/uwu) and rot13 (from hxtools), but I'm sure you could do something in grep or sed or whatever's cool with the *nix kids nowadays.

And with strategic use of pipes, you can automate this process all the way down to a single command. Look at this one that uwuifies the raw data of an image:

Code: [Select]
ffmpeg -i motherboard.jpg -s 1620x1080 -f rawvideo -pix_fmt gbrp - | uwuify | ffmpeg -f rawvideo -pix_fmt gbrp -s 1620x1080 -i - -f image2 motherboard-1080p-planar-uwu.png


Spoiler: Meaning of the command (click to show/hide)

That mess generates:

Spoiler: Image (click to show/hide)

For some reason, that is a distinct effect from downscaling and saving as planar RAW in Irfanview, then running cat motherboard-1080p-planar.raw | uwuify > motherboard-1080p-planar-uwu.raw and opening it back in Irfanview. My brain tells me that should be identical (bar some hue-shifting), but no, it's different enough that I need to point it out. I don't know why. That process yields:

Spoiler: Image (click to show/hide)

Don't ask me why. I'm baffled at how these similar-looking processes can yield wildly different results.

The ROT13 versions really only produce great results with Base64 encoding first, so the command needs to be extended to:
Code: [Select]
ffmpeg -i motherboard.jpg -s 1620x1080 -f rawvideo -pix_fmt gbrp - | base64 | rot13 | base64 -i -d | ffmpeg -f rawvideo -pix_fmt gbrp -s 1620x1080 -i - -f image2 motherboard-1080p-planar-base64-rot13-base64.png

Spoiler: Meaning of the command (click to show/hide)

Your base64 implementation may differ depending on your particular system, and you may need to change the switches a bit; consult your documentation for that. This time, the Irfanview and automated methods more-or-less agree, so I'll put them next to each other.

Trying to work on more interesting lighting and poses (also drawing the whole scene at once instead of just the characters and then slapping on a background...)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I could use some process advice. For colored light: here I put in the base colors, then painted the lit portions in another layer (with transparency), then just darkened the base color layer to make it the "shadows". Feels a little hacky to me, though it seems to work well enough. I wonder if anyone has a different (perhaps better) way of going about it.

Well, much of digital art is about hacking if you want it to be! :P I think what you've got looks good for the style. One handy rule of thumb for shadows is that if the light is warm (red-yellow), you should make the shadows cool (green-blue) and vice versa.

I typically only work with colours on one layer, but it's not better. It just gives me more control over blending and boundaries, which are important for my style.


I've been pretty art blocked recently but I've done some things. Apologies if they don't load, I'm copying the links off Twitter which sometimes does weird things, because I'm lazy.

Made a portrait again, this time a lil' different tho.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I didn't reply to this not because i didn't like it, on the contrary, i think it's awesome, but because i was working on a little project inspired by this. However, that went up in a puff of magic smoke...
Anyway. i think it's really cool, and it's clearly the advanced form of the technique from the picture before. Heck, one could see the beginnings of the technique from the drawings in ToDW, especially the more recent ones... Not much else to say; Well done, keep it up :D

Anyway, two images today. Both are click to enlarge because they're massive images.
First is a showcase of the new, entirely procedural sky texture i'm calling "Neoskies", that i created for the big image i'm working on, but it'll probably end up being my go-to daytime skybox.
(https://i.imgur.com/jlCblc9.png)
Normally, i wouldn't show off stuff like this, but i'm rather proud of this one. This is my third attempt over the years at producing a good procedural sky texture. The problem is always the clouds, the ones in this version came about as an accidental discovery made during my little hijack of ToDW. If you want this as a wallpaper, PM me for it in any resolution.

While my other project went up in proverbial flames, this is one is a picture i've wanted to do for a long time.
(https://i.imgur.com/TVi0Qpw.png)
Featuring the forums' favourite(hopefully) viper/stoat girl, sat atop her spirit greatwolf Nope, totally normal-sized spirit wolf, 'Typhoon'. This should give an idea how small she really is.
This picture came about as a realization i had sometime after first making Nami, that being how many parallels she has to a certain character from a certain game.
If the hint of being an impish character sat atop a wolf doesn't give it away... Don't worry, not everyone is an epic gamer; just enjoy the pic.
As for Typhoon himself, his design takes inspiration from certain wolves in a certain RuneScape minigame.

Thanks. although a lot of the simplicity comes from me just starting with art and the program

There isn't a specific symbolism or anything, just very high interest in the Call of Cthulhu rpg and cosmic horror.

Here's some visuals I made, but can't put anywhere. I felt it was a cool idea, so it would be a waste to not put them somewhere.

This is video that's misused to store sound, exploded into long image strips. This is the original song. (https://youtu.be/RTce0uxz5ak)

For those wishing to recover the 1.6 seconds of audio from these images, each frame was originally 32x32 @ 31.25 FPS, 24-bit RGB, and the sound is compressed to all hell. Absurdly loud, in other words.

(https://i.postimg.cc/kJ6LMCVJ/lossless-1-32x32.png) (https://i.postimg.cc/WTPxVQsV/lossless-2-32x32.png) (https://i.postimg.cc/TxFZ7KSp/lossless-3-32x32.png) (https://i.postimg.cc/9m6KrkTG/lossless-4-32x32.png) (https://i.postimg.cc/b8n4KzcL/lossless-5-32x32.png)

And the first 20 seconds of the song in GIF form:

(https://i.postimg.cc/6qxxNWCQ/sound.gif)

(I should probably upload this sound-as-video, synced with the original audio, come to think of it.)

The filename is "Erisida.png" (Postimages does not obfuscate image names*), so that might be an indication.

*It turns out that it doesn't actually care what the filename is, as long as the rest of the URL is intact. The following is an image I 'bent, but a technical issue happened that did something on the unintended side.

wow that is surreal.
These are subject to an odd phenomenon where, despite how extremely busy the drawings are, one can still pick out the facial details, even from afar.
It just goes to show how unbelievably good the human brain is at recognizing faces. (and things that look like faces)

Good work on these, Q.

Also have you written down any kind of a phonetic guide for the alphabet glyphs? Even if it's just their correspondence to the letters of the latin alphabet, if such direct transcription is possible for Kvaksulu?
I have kind of a love-hate relationship with linguistics and languages. On one hand i absolutely love language and linguistics, but i'm also unbelievably terrible at everything related to languages.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Quaksna on June 24, 2021, 05:25:54 am
Most of them have latin counterparts, some are read differently than the "European standard" they were based on, and some are absent, such as "c", "z", "š" (sounds like shh), "ř" (unique Czech sound, can't explain), and similar. "G" is read differently in Kvaksulu than in Kevekiii, with keveks reading it as the basic "g" in "great" or "grand", Kvaksoi read it as the Dutch or Afrikaners would (basically Czech "ch").

There are some unique sounds and letters I write in Latin as " ūā", "ōūā", and Kvaksulu "hrr", a consonant, lower, longer "r".

The rightmost collumn is the Kevekii alphabet, slightly reworked to resemble those ancient cuneiform symbols. The leftmost is alphabet of Wondokí, which is basically the same just with different more refined letters, it is read the same, but the words are different. In the middle is the new Kvaksulu alphabet. All the vowels are usually very tiny compared to consonants and have two variants.

The texts are some test lines I made up, first comparison of all three languages word for "Kevek" ("Kevek" in Kevekii, "Keba" in Wond, "Kebeka" in Kvaksulu), and then there are a few basic sentences in Kvaksulu for me to see if it holds together.

They translate to: "Cathar draws pictures, strong warriors and pretty women." and "When Arx comes and writes, we rejoice."

I am surprised! And flattered. And a little disoriented. I'm glad you like it when I come and write, even though I don't do it very much. :P I've been busy with a number of things recently. Work, fencing, abortive efforts to write stories, setting things on fire, quarantining for covid, renting an apartment, you know, normal adult stuff.

The tattoos impress me because I tend to be very bad at mechanically precise repeated things. To be honest I wouldn't even be able to draw the lines for the foundation, let alone fill them in without messing it up... Very cool!

@Strik3r The renders are looking good! I love the Neoskies clouds, definitely worth being proud of.

@Cathar Awesome as always! I especially like the one of your daughteru. The style of the guys in the background is very very neat.

@Flyme I like the Aegislash! I also feel unsettlingly stared at. o_o

And everything else is also super cool but my infrequent posting means I get overwhelmed if I try to comment on everything all at once @_@ But I do look at it all and it's awesome! Keep it up.


I haven't done that much since last time I was here but:

And lastly one I've been working on for ages, a custom scabbard based loosely on the Dagor Bragollach/Nirnaeth Arnoediad from the Silmarillion:

The script reads "aure entuluva" in the Quenya mode, which was Húrin's war cry at the latter battle. It's made of charred pine, with solder inlay and perfectly regular bailing wire and a polyurethane lacquer. Materials cost 0.00 (offcut wood, I have tons of solder and wire, I don't use much lacquer so it's just... always around), time cost quite a few more hours than planned, tools cost... yeah, I sometimes do these projects in antique purist mode with an axe, a knife, and a spokeshave, but not this time. I don't think I'll ever do inlay without a Dremel.

It looks somewhat anachronistic with the modern fencing epee, but meh. My sword, my scabbard. It's a good deal nicer than the PVC tube with a string duct taped on I was using before.

I too have been very busy with other work (of the backbreaking manual kind), which has left me no time for my usual artistic outlet (writing).
On the other hand, I've had a surge of creative interest in drawing, which resulted in these little sketches:

A couple gods/hero-ancestors for a setting I've been thinking about. Mostly I wanted to see what a human figure with antlers would look like.

@ Quaksna: The dedication you've put into your frog-lore astounds me. I'd be keen on reading some details of your languages. I have some linguistics training, and a personal interest in languages and conlangs, so I'd love to see what you've worked out, if you're okay sharing it (if not, I also understand)!

I haven't worked on my own conlang for many months - everything's been put on hold while the book gets finished, which might be this year or not.

Good question. Yet, I've waited ages to create my own Shook, and now, that I've been provided the three necessary personality traits for my new garment (because as we all know, you can't make clothing without personality traits :P), I can perform the tailoring ritual and unleash it upon this world...

If I had the fabric.

But I should sew something, shouldn't I? I still have loads of white stuff to use, but I don't like it too much, feels too synthetic-y. Need to buy some good old school linen, and become a KNOIGHT.

A WIP low-poly tank model! I got the idea to riff on a unity doom clone and wanted to do a 3D-world-with-pixel art thing (sans creatures and pickups--which are billboarded sprites), so this is my first step to understand the 3D-pixel-textured-asset pipeline. I didn't realize how nuanced it can be (and the pain of UV mapping objects for pixel art), but I think at the end of this, Ill be able to recreate the process much faster for all my assets (most a lot less detailed/complex than a tank).

my 3D pixel art asset--I probably weather it and give it some character at some point, but boy did I learn a ton about <whatever you wanna call this style> pipeline. The only thing I can't figure out how to do reliably, is make sure all my assets are using roughly* the same scale? I.E. same # of pixels per unit of surface area.

Bonus: a sergeant idle sprite, just to test the waters stylistically.

A 40K-inspied Unity Doom-clone (Low-poly 3D environment, 2D NPCs). The basic premise is that you are a line officer towards the end of a hundred-year siege and have got to do x/y/z to hold the line.

I made two paragraph generators that make planets and moons! Check them out.

One for terrestrial planets and moons...

One for gas/ice giants...

I spent like 3 days on these. Making them was harder than I thought. Hope you enjoy them.

That looks cute. I like the style.


Started a cat. I want to try for a more stylized model, but for now it's just a base mesh. Also this silly face made me laugh, when I subdivided it earlier to smooth it out:

Oh boy he remembers the names, whaaaaat

But I realized there is no "ž" nor "z" sound in either of the languages, so in Kevekiii it should be Dsaabul, in Kvaksulu Dsábul. The image isn't necessarily of him, but a chameleon is a symbol of Dsábul anyway, so as well might be.

With these pics I was kinda trying to think of an evolution of the Kltekk art for a different, latter ethnicity, as those have been my focus lately. I'm remaking some maps as well, but my head hurts and haven't been able to finish much  >:(

e.g. Let's say I've got a thousand boxes in photoshop, they all have hard pixel borders, could I some how fill each with a random color? Without having to fill all 1000 by hand?

You'd have to delve into coding to get anything like that, i'm afraid, at least to my knowledge. If you were to make identical copies, you could just make a pattern, and in a few other use cases you could also make a brush that laid down randomly coloured boxes, but these are both very situational and primarily useful for texturing (e.g. bricks (https://puu.sh/I6WDo.png)). Beyond that though, art programs aren't terribly smart. :v

Thanks peeps, that's a pain. Maybe I will take a look a scripting, but some people over on the photoshop support forum basically said the only way to do it would to b to separate every shape into a different layer. To get things on topic and end this here is what I was working on:

EU4 map. The modding process is a little messy, but it's actually quite accessible (and a total blast for worldbuilding that ends with a playable game experience!). The annoying part is all those different provinces have to be a different RGB color... which is a pain in the ass.

I've been working on a space 4X game in my spare time, which is just starting to look like a game despite the fact it's nowhere close:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Right now it generates 2500 random solar systems when the server starts up, with each solar system having 1-2 randomly generated stars and a random assortment of planets.  I've tried to generate the planets with some semblance of realism, but a lot of the formulae and concepts are honestly pulling stuff out of thin air.  It does things like take the system's metallicity into account when generating planet masses, uses planet mass to randomly generate atmospheres, and uses atmospheres and distance from the star(s) to determine surface temperature.  Eventually it'll generate rings, moons and so on, but I need to nail down some of the extreme edge cases the random generator makes before I do that.

The claim button broke at some point, but I only got so far as to have it generate currently meaningless government entities to own the planet and system, and to assign those to the empire the player has assumed.  There's a colonize button that adds a million people to the planet, currently with no regard to the habitability.

The game currently runs as 2 Node.js processes, with one acting as a server and the other as a client using the Blessed NPM library to render terminal graphics.  I like the aesthetic, but it limits you in a lot of ways, since you can't just scale down text to print system names on the galaxy map, for example.  The advantage of building the client and server as separate programs, however, is that the client is entirely independent of the server and could be built using anything.  I might switch to a web UI at some point since that's what I do at my day job.

But these dumps are lovely!

By the way Shook, your doofy style actually really looks like something you would find in a Czech comic for kids. There was this one series about a wizard called Metloděj and his dragon friend Baltazar, who kinda looks like Doofus now that I think about it...

(https://www.levneknihy.cz/Document/152/152222/152222-2.jpg)

By the way, this is an older artstyle I didn't grew up with, but the dragon looks more Doofusy here than the newer one, honestly, overall kinda more charming. That was a big issue with a lot of these comics, overtime the art started looking less like drawings and more like stock bitmaps, not an unique piece of art but something meant to be cheaply mass-produced... It wasn't bad per say, just lost some of the spirit.

But y'all have the soul of your pics intact, always good to see.

(https://dl.dropbox.com/s/99es5qpkmfy2d50/create_empire_1.png)

I started working on a prototype for empire creation for my game, which so far really only covers designing the empire's home system.  Astronomical stuff is really all the game has implemented so far since it's mostly math and easier to do.  This will get a lot more complex once I have to start implementing government and cultures like I eventually plan to, but will tackle homeworld design next since that should be a direct extension of the work I've already done.

I'm probably planning for much too much, but I want empire creation to essentially work like embarking in DF where you have a pool of points you spend on multiple aspects of the empire.  This will probably end up impossible to balance, but I thought it would be cool if you could make tradeoffs.  More stars provide more power for solar systems.  More planets provide more mining opportunities and living space.  That would be balanced against a better or worse homeworld, which may have more or less resources.  Then the species traits would balance against that, and so on.  More intelligent and adaptable species would be worth more points.

Eventually I'd like to also make it possible to start with additional systems or colonized worlds, which would cost points too of course.

Does it make sense to start with a meager home system and a species with high potential, or vice versa?  No idea.  I don't really envision this as being a well balanced competitive game, even if I'm building it with multiplayer support.  I want something more like a sci-fi civilization generator, somewhat akin to DF's design philosophy of generating fantasy worlds instead of being yet another one.

Looks like your link is dead, or at least takes me to an error page about.

That planet's quite cold though, yes.  While I'm putting an unnecessary amount of effort into the physical modeling here, like trying to calculate effective temperature at an orbit from the host star(s) based on flux and planetary albedo, the model is probably seriously flawed in may ways so it ends up being silly.  This planet has no simulated atmosphere yet though, so once I add that in the effective temperature should go up.

It is semi-random. Each ''type'' of planet has its own template with separate attribute calls. A barren planets habitability list is separate from the habitable ones, so there are no advanced biospheres on dead planets, and such.

I love frogs, hats, and scarves, so  this is a very fun combo. Really cute, especially the little froggy balaclava with the mouth hole! If they talk from their throat, I suppose they wouldn't even need a hole for the mouth, except for eating and such... so I could see the head-sack being better in some situations. Nice!

How's that "there's only one person who could recognize the little bugger being nibbled on at first glance, but she's not online"? Wouldn't you be forgetting, by any chance, about someone who related how some Dreamites were collected to produce the first spirit crystal in the Communal Worldbuilding Game? A process involving the use of the Dreamites' blue fluid? :)

Just to say that I indeed instantly recognized the pretty glowing bug that you are presenting to us today! And while I am already a lover of little arthropods, I find this one especially charming with its peculiar striped markings.

But at the same time, I certainly don't want to overshadow your excellent render of the Elysian on the point of eating an apparently no less delicious Dreamite! To wich I should add that I like the very natural and relaxed posture of its legs and "wings".

Need to work on some projects to practice coding, so here we go, my vision is a simple rpg, mainly dialogue-based, exploring various alternate what-if scenarios of the story. Like, what if the captain election was rigged, what if Pepa didn't finish his lunch in the second chapter, and so, as much insane and absurd the comic is, so are turning out all these different story branches.

Yeah it'll probably start falling apart in like a week, but as long as it keeps me busy I don't really care  :P Gives me both something to code and draw, a win-win, then.

Glad to hear that, I've been relying mostly on my gut on this one. I think I'll draw more pieces on this particular myth, there's more of the frog cosmology in it if that's what you're interested in.

As for newt characters, that's mostly spirits taking upon themselves animal forms, apart from the frog races there ain't much sentient animal species. There's a family of talking serpents/dragons descended from Hádás, but those aren't very clearly defined as of now.

I find that story remarkable. I think it contains everything one would expect from a myth of creation, while evidently revolving around animals, but the fact that this very subject is like... inherent to its every aspects, it definitely makes it stand out. What I mean is mainly that it shows the complexification of the animal world, from simple invertebrates to mammals and birds, and from a primordial bubbling of life in the underworld to its migration to the upper world, but at the same time, we see that the process has literally been triggered by the shedding of the chameleon god Dsábul, and that it is defined by his anatomical features! That's quite unique! :D

Furthermore, I like the beginning part where we get a clear depiction of the difficult life of the Kvaksas and can also feel very well their growing despair, and that of Qvuaksna, their creator. There is then a plunge into the dark underworld, where life begins in a beautiful but chaotic fashion, and to me it's fascinating to imagine.

Afterward, I enjoyed the quest of Sorm, with the terrific contrast between him and the gargantuan snake Ánhrr, the escape of the animals in and out of Sorm that perfectly call to mind their biology (fish hiding their babies in their mouth for example), and the ending where the cruelty of Hádás is countered by the unexpected empathy of Ánhrr as well as the magical vitality of the godly newt.

And about the visual art, I appreciated the spiritual feeling given by the first picture, the disorderliness of the bunch of fish, the clean view of the meeting between Sorm and Qvuaksna, the impressive head of Ánhrr, and the emergence of corrals that have a shape mirrored by Sorm's disjointed arms.

So yes, I can say I love that myth!

For real, thanks too. I'm trying to make the frog universe more mythical, in contrast to the "generic" fantasy you see today, resembling something you would find in this world, returning to the roots. What myth is all about, is touching upon some inherent truth in our world. And it can be powerful and we respond to it the way we do, because we know it's "real", in a way. We know what it's trying to convey, because we're experiencing it ourselves in reality. And that's what I'm trying to emulate.

And of course the wonderous magic hijinks and stuff.

I was thinking of this phenomenon you often see, some kind of creator deity creates something unintentionally in their sleep, or some primordial creature doing something random and it causes life (looking at you, norse cosmic-cow)... Now Dsábul isn't a creator deity per say, but he does represent nature, the natural world, so it was only fitting for him to be the source. The whole underworld concept here is more like a proto-world, where more denizens of the earth originate from, kvaksas included.

That giant monitor is a pretty nice steed, I reckon. It has very sharp claws and a well developed musculature that must be efficacious for defense.

But I want to know:

When it bites its victims, can it envenom them with an anticoagulant poison, like a Komodo dragon?

And what are carrying these respectable frog merchants? Ginger? Other spices? Bast ropes maybe?

Is it also a dead rabbit that I see close to the rider? It looks very much like that...


Besides, I always imagined your frogs moving by hopping, but I realize now that it's probably more convenient and look less awkward in a quadrupedal manner! :)

Wondrous elaboration. Much appreciated.

Quote from: Quaksna on December 13, 2021, 05:14:28 am
The reason they try to keep [the monitors] peaceful is, they are more instinct driven and could easily go on a rampage when distressed. And they are indeed ferocious in battle, and when ticked off do not recognize friend from enemy, unlike hounds. Though, even if such scenario was to occur, the beast would be likely re-usable if successfully calmed down. A bad tempered hound on the other hand is extremely dangerous to a township and needs to be put to death forthwith.

I think it stands to reason of not fostering the aggressivity of the giant monitors, since such animals are not as intelligent as hounds and probably cannot be fully tamed. Likewise, if unruly hounds would be let on the loose, they surely would form packs that would delight themselves on frog snacks.

I created a fantasy setting for NaNoWriMo a few years ago where the only intelligent creatures were sapient dragons instead of humans.  On a whim, I've decided to pick it up again and drew a reference image for myself of what a male looks like, with a human for scale reference:

(https://dl.dropbox.com/s/94amwuz2ao0sxa6/dragon_scale.png)

Slightly bigger standalone without the scale background:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There are a few details I'm not sold on yet.  The auricles/pinnae/external ears are out of place on a reptilian creature, but they have wings too so they're clearly not true reptiles I guess, and I think they're cute so I want to keep them.  I'm not sure about the frill either, which looks stolen from Spyro, but I've always thought dragon heads looked too bare without something like that.  The scales/scutes making up the "eyebrows" seem a bit too human, but I like what they allow for expressions so I'll probably keep them.

I mostly drew the reference because I'm trying to figure out other details for the setting, like how clothes of all things will work.  The wings make clothes really hard to envision, without a seemingly unreasonable amount of complexity from laces or buttons.  They have somewhat clumsy thumbs and don't have quite the manual dexterity that humans do, so I don't want to go overboard on that.  It almost feels like they'd have to have help putting any kind of clothes on, which admittedly would make the story interesting if a bit strange.

Post by: Quaksna on December 22, 2021, 04:22:09 am
Oh yes an excuse to talk about frogs some more

Yeah, clothing is a problem when it comes to animal people. Can share some insights from my ponderings.

I guess the first question is, do they even need clothes, and what you've already touched upon, can they make them without overt difficulty to satisfy the need. In my setting the frog people generally, don't wear clothes, it's mostly a ceremonial deal for the priestly class or other authorities. The most covered up occupation is a leper doctor, for obvious reasons

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

They don't feel the same shame as we do, and they don't settle in areas where they would freeze. I picture them being a lil' bit more reptilian-ish than a pure amphibian, with somewhat sturdier skin that prevents them from drying up, that is, they drink as we do and wouldn't die in salt water, though it does cause irritation to some races. With the cold-blooded aspect, that I haven't defined much as of yet, but it is clear to me they should be susceptible to cold, which presents a problem for kvaksas from the Great Island, where there's a seasonal climate and they have to deal with winter, even snow. It wouldn't be very smart of them going full on dormant, sealing within their clay-coated insulated homes and not doing anything for a whole season. For anyone operating outside, clothing is a must have.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There are these fur bags the kvaksas rest in in winter, but they would have their uses outside, too, I imagine it being strapped to a back of a hound so the rider is warm, this would let hunters go out in the winter. The pack monitors lizards would be dormant, though, so each settlement would have to fend mostly for itself - winters would cut trading completely in these parts.

For the question how these are made, the frogs do possess some fine motor skills, males having an enlarged thumb excellent for weapon gripping, but there's also magic, all of the weaving was done by magi-priests at one point, before looms were designed, who invoke a "civilization" spell upon the raw plant material. I haven't considered leather much until I've started thinking about the winters, but it is clearly the more accessible resource compared to cloth, the production would be easier, and the demand for leather straps is high. I guess magic could be an answer for clothes of your dragon people, but that can prove quite difficult to handle and define well.

On the helping to put clothes on problem, might not be a problem, maybe it's just a bruh moment social thing. Kvaksa warriors strap their weapons to their backs, and this also has to be done with help of a fellow, but outside combat it's just much more effective to have both hands free, so no one thinks about it too much. It all really depends on what role does the clothing have, is it covering, cold, status, ritual, pure aesthetic? There's a lot of think about, and I'm sure you can come up with something interesting.

But I made real life test for you

That's an excellent sock dragon and got a chuckle out of me.

As for whether the dragons would need or wear them in the first place... that's a good question.  Scales would offer more protection than our own skin, but they might find more use for clothes for warmth than us.  I assumed they were more endothermic than most reptiles but not as much as mammals.  Would clothes be particularly useful for that?  Would they be a hindrance, since reptiles also have to deal with overheating too?  I'm not really sure.

Fashion, self expression and status certainly would matter, but commoners may not bother with clothes.  I'll ponder that.

Armor is another important matter, since the underpinning of the setting was a fight against a zombie dragon apocalypse and they'd definitely use armor.  Wings are impossible to armor, but the rest would probably be possible with some effort.

Funnily enough, at one point I considered antlers and even hooves (hind legs only maybe), but decided against both for a few reasons.  Hair also feels a little too mammalian, even if it could just as easily be thicker keratin rods or strands that look a bit like hair.  I also considered feathers, for a look between birds and reptiles, but wasn't fully sold on that either.

Ooooh, the clothing problem. I've spent a ton of time mulling over this, for a lot of different species with different bodyplans.

Oftentimes its not only a matter of how to make the clothes work on a particular body, but also what are the species specific requirements for that clothing, and also what effects the solutions to the particular problems have on the rest of their society.

yay a chance to talk about Elysian clothing.
Elysians for example, cannot wear anything resembling pants due to the patagium getting in the way, so this is probably relevant to you Telgin. While they don't really need or want to wear clothing, Elysians live in universes that they usually co-inhabit with species that often are offended by nudity, such as humans, so they have to wear something. The obvious solution is a cloak and indeed that is the most common form of Elysian clothing. However, most want or need to keep their marsupium(pouch) exposed, so the cloaks are kept open at the front, or have a cutout around there. The second problem is that of carrying stuff around; Elysians also cannot wear backpacks or any other bag with straps, without hampering their ability to glide. Thus the solution? Development of ropes and netting, allowing stuff to be tied to a net worn over the cloak. This resulted in Elysians having an overall fondness for nets and net work, with many of their more advanced clothing pieces incorporating nets into their construction and also nets featuring prominently in their dwellings.

Here's a very basic render of what a clothed Elysian typically looks like, with an ultra-simple cloak and basic net. (literally made this in 30 mins. Six hours. an entire day.)
The net is worn loose, though it's heavy enough to keep the cloak pinned down.

There are still alot of model improvements to do, though.

Hmmm, yes... Civilizations of frogs, dragons and Elysians are always very very appealing to me! Also, the dragons in question are particularly nice!

So to take part to the discussion, I may have found part of an answer to explain how an amphibian or a reptile could heat itself.

Read that, you will see cuteness:

http://www.newscientist.com/article/2074982-first-warm-blooded-lizards-switch-on-mystery-heat-source-at-will/ (http://www.newscientist.com/article/2074982-first-warm-blooded-lizards-switch-on-mystery-heat-source-at-will/)

Furthermore, I think that making armors for dragons is entirely feasible, and much inspiration can probably be found for it by browsing at pictures of horse barding.

As concerns the frogs in fur bags, even if they are singularly amusing to look at, I sincerely doubt of their practicability, because they are extremely tight and dragging inside them would probably prove exceedingly difficult! I must concede though that riding a hound while huddling into them would certainly provide tremendous fun, but how would the frog control the hound, how could it possibly mount the hound, and whithout more space or holes for the limbs, how would it seriously manage to go on a hunt, especially if weapons are to be used!

To remediate to the problem (and not reducing the bagged frog to the state of a mere pollywog :P), why not just strapping several sheets of fur on the hound? Then the frog could comfortably install itself between them and the warm back of the hound, wich is already covered of fur and would provide a direct source of heating! It would in addition open the possibility of wearing at the same time fur clothes allowing far easier movement.

Ohoho, a gliding race, now that's something!

I obviously couldn't say otherwise!

And to dress the Elysians with cloaks and nets appear absolutely perfect to me! I think that can adapt wonderfully to their forest habitat.

This is all a good discussion and has given me some food for thought.  After some pondering, it seems like the most sensible place to start for most horizontal creatures is something like a caparison, which would almost work for dragons if you cut out slits for the wings.  It would be... ineffective for modesty if they were flying though, if they care about that.  Still not sure.

I'm also envisioning something like the cloak you've demonstrated here.  Something with a hole for the head that they could cinch around the body near their hips would also work in a way.

I need to try doodling a few designs and see if anything works out.

A quick concept involves a somewhat complex cut of garment that they drape over their back and then tie off or button on the sides and around the abdomen.  The rear section could just drape over the tail and hindquarters, and I guess that if they care about modesty they might just wear something like a tied loin cloth underneath it.

The pictured example would obviously be higher class since he has jewelry, but I figured I might as well draw some of that to get an idea of what they might wear.  I wanted to give him a cloth choker too, but uh oh, his frill's in the way.  Guess they wouldn't have those.  Poorer dragons probably wouldn't bother with sleeves or the socks either, but I imagine any could afford the main garment if made out of coarse materials.  Not really sure what to call it so I'll probably just stick with the term robes.

looks good. I like that there's buttons on the sides so that one doesn't have to try to (somehow) get the thing over the wings, which is probably impossible anyway. Of course for button placement, one has to take into account how the limbs move to make it as easy to put on or take off as possible.

Do they? Do they even have anything to see down there, being reptiles? Does seeing eachother's bare undersides have any significance to them? And also, how frequently are they going to end up on their backs?
Also, as a silly aside, the one thing about the ref that is bugging me to no end, is how insanely large his head is. :P If it were up to me, i'd probably do something more like this, make the head a bit smaller and make the neck look slightly thicker and more reptilian:

I agree the torc looks good, and I've always wondered how flexible they would need to be to put around the neck like that.  I assume silver is pretty soft so it's probably not a problem.  I know these existed in real life, after all.

Regarding the head size... that was somewhat deliberate.  Typically, when you shrink a human character down for stylistic reasons you keep the head disproportionately large, and I was going for a similar effect since they're only about a meter tall.  However, looking back at the reference I can see that the skull area is larger than the accompanying human's, so it's probably too big overall no matter what.  This is something I can trace back to bad habits I learned while learning to draw 20 years ago that have been difficult to excise.  In any case, I do think that the edit looks better and I think the neck design is a bit better too.

Quote from: Strik3r
looks good. I like that there's buttons on the sides so that one doesn't have to try to (somehow) get the thing over the wings, which is probably impossible anyway. Of course for button placement, one has to take into account how the limbs move to make it as easy to put on or take off as possible.

I was assuming that they had enough flexibility to reach around to their sides, possibly using the opposite foreleg.  Reptiles seem to have a bit more range of motion in their forelegs than a lot of quadrupedal mammals, owing to the fact that they typically have a more splayed posture, but I went for a more mammalian leg design here so it's probably not strictly realistic for them to be able to reach around like that.  For intelligent and tool using creatures the flexibility is important though, so I'll live with a bit of a stretch in reality here.

Though, i will point out there seems to be some slight pillow shading going on there in the pixel art.

Quite possible, I don't like large areas having a single color, so some shades probably don't make sense. The good thing is, while these are really quick to make, I also notice the imperfections more often and perfect them over a couple of days. Not to mention, while I'm not completely new to this, I've been doing some DF sprites, in this larger scale I think of the pictures how I would draw them on paper, so that might be not suitable for pixelart.

Yes there is, and I'm not talented. All of what I do I've been perfecting for a long, long time, it's pure practice. And believe me, nothing I do is very useful, not enough to get me daily bread. The reason I'm still doing these is it brings joy to me and you guys too. As long as that's the case, I'll happily continue.

Interesting! I actually got strong Latin vibes from the grammar, though I can't recall if Latin has a hortative. And I've not heard of the transgressive tense. Mind explaining? One which... implies wrongdoing, perhaps?

I'd be fairly interested in pronunciation too, actually. I imagine it would be hard to get phonetics down for a frog-people. I'm imagining loads of glottal stops! (Maybe you could take inspiration from some African languages?)

Any translation for the hound-text?

This is super cool, btw. You do have a life, and it's epic  ;)
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Quaksna on January 04, 2022, 11:19:25 am
I know only a handful of prayers in Latin, i've been drawing mostly for Czech. Hortative's in Hebrew, I've heard. I'm not surprised you didn't heard of transgressive, it's quite unique to our area of Slavic languages. It is a special form of a verb, when you want to say an action was done while another action was in process by the same person. In english, this is done by infinitive to my knowledge, or some other basic verb inflection, for example "I was making dinner, watching the stove carefully." or somehow like that, but we have the transgressive form, it exists for present and past tenses. Wikipedia explains it quite well.  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgressive_(linguistics))

I was thinking of recording a pronunciation video, and yes, I also thought of how would they have problems speaking round vowels, so "u" is quite similar to "e" and "o" to "a". I would really need to make a demonstration, I have no clear way of describing the sounds  :P But I think Strik3r and someone else were interested too, so I'll try to get it done.

I've found an unfinished alphabet sheet of the kvaksulu language
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'll give my best shot to translate the hound-text, but my vocabulary memory is awful  :P. But I do have memories of first writing it, so here we go:

About animals - Hounds (or wolves, kvaksas don't care)

A hound is a large animal, high as a kvaksa stretching its legs in a line, long a little more (than that). They're wide as a pot used for beverage.
Their body has dense fur, so that they won't freeze. They have two front legs and two hind legs, pointy ears and black nose. They can smell and hear well, so that they can hunt better. They hunt together with their families small and large animals, living in woods and on mountains.
You will recognize males as by other furred animals, that is this way - males have a penis and a pair of testes in between their hind legs, they also urinate with the penis. Females don't have this, but they have two rows of small hills (as in, growths) on their stomach, they feed their children with these, they have milk there.
They give birth to many children, those have closed eyes and can only drink milk. They grow quickly.


Found a number of mistakes while translating the text  :D Accidentally referred to them as people multiple times. With plural of people you would usually use the special group gender, which does not exist for animals - those are referred as masculine by default. I did call them masculine, but "men" instead of "males", gotta fix that!

I think a word of note is "rehesqafylut" - it's a noun that has quite a number of tenses stacked on top of each other. The base verb is "qafyl", to freeze, literally to feel cold. The -re is negating prefix, indicating they do not freeze. -hes is the continuous tense, meaning it tends to be this way, it perpetually is like this. The -ut suffix is for verbs of the third gender, masculine, plural.

I could write paragraphs on top of paragraphs on this, but alas, let's make some space for artworks.

Anyone wants to have their pixelart displayed on the starter moon in dual universe? I had to make my safestash bigger, filled out all the space available, now its a cube of approximately 120-120-120 meters. I'm asking for the same reason I could never pick a tatoo: too many possibilities, I could go with something I like and I have tools to pixelise anything, but it's too hard to pick. So if anyone wants to expose and sign something in a virtual world, I'm super open to it. Color palette is... IDK I'm bad at drawing etc... Idk if there is many many colors or not, but many of them exist in matt and more glossy etc. The resolution can be tiny but it's better if one can make out the motive from afar. I'd follow the recipe for redrawing the image pixel per pixel, don't need more than a jpg.

Kinda quiet here, huh?
I've not really had anything to post here recently because i've been doing a lot of theorycrafting and really sinking my teeth into Blender's geometry nodes.
Behold, the product of my testing and experimenting thus far: (click to enlarge, 1080p image)
(https://i.imgur.com/zxocLtE.png)

Now here's a little pop quiz for everyone: Strik3r needs a tree. What does Strik3r do?

A: Model a tree.
B: Download a tree.
C: Use an existing, established Blender addon to procedurally make a tree.
D: MAKE AN ENTIRE MODULAR GENERATOR, FROM SCRATCH, USING ONLY GEOMETRY NODES... to make a tree.

If you answered D, you answered correctly. This tree is entirely procedural, leaves and all! But here is a little secret; The grass is ALSO procedural, made using the EXACT SAME system as the tree!
So it's less of a tree generator and more of a general plant generator.

Okay, i'm gonna go back to working on the project that got stalled on this. Coming up next: Procedural cities? Until next time ;).
(Yes the rock is also procedural.)

EDIT:
In hindsight, Showing one pretty tree render and proclaiming that it is procedural, probably isn't enough, so i rendered more trees.

I tried my hand at drawing a kingfisher, because who doesn't like colorful birbs.

I'm starting to get the hang of this XP-Pen tablet thing, but I don't think I'll recommend the brand to anyone. I had to take apart the pen to fix some pressure sensitivity issues and the driver either works flawlessly for as long as the tablet is connected, or just decides to crash every 5 minutes until I restart my system.

Rabid Radioactive Spiders + unwittingly humans, obviously.
....Actually, spiders can't carry rabies, so you'd need some rabid racoons to bite the humans after they are bitten by the radioactive spiders. Trying to put the spiders and raccoons in the same room won't work, because the racoons would eat the spiders.  Most likely result in that case is a bunch of rabid racoonmen.

So I messed around with the tablet, I wanted to wait until the piece's finished but that's not gonna be anytime soon, so might as well post my progress  :P

The first work, I dub "The Wrath of Gromit"

But jokes aside, the serious piece begins here. Have the outlines, there's a plan, but it's hard to get my hands on the tablet often, so the progress' rather slow. Still, it's great fun, and one of those things you can just get lost in and spend hours on hours, so I will definitely do more in future.

Well done! My only quibble is that the big frog near the wolf seems like he ought to be a focal point, but instead that area is very busy and he sort of fades into a mass of frogs. I particularly like the wolf-and-frog combo, I'm sure that was difficult.

Using Heavypaint on my phone during breaks at work. I'm trying to draw one picture a day minimum, and it really helps to have a decent mobile program. I love the oil brush which I've been using recently. It's good for finger painting because it forgives the lack of precision somewhat. The colour jitter feature is very satisfying too.

Nah. Just faster than average keyboard-typer  :P That, and good knowledge of language. Like most of the job is just paperwork in office, which I don't mind, but the hearings are the interesting part. Some of the cases are utterly bizarre... But it's a good thing you meet the people in person at some point for the judge. The folders and shit can give you an idea, but when you see them eye to eye, it fills in the picture. The human element is quite important. Like when we unanimously agreed with the judge that the victim of a brawl had indeed an exceptionally punchable face

Well... I might have some viking blood, since my family have been in the territories that were invaded by normands - and stood there for as long as I can trace my genealogic tree. I even have some inbreeding in my very old ancestry.
But alas I'm a very small person and if I propose to go raid and pillage I am never taken seriously. I will never be a viking I fear.

Seriously tho, your face is awesome and I am sure your family has a rich history. Mine is all Czech, as far as I know, tho the forefather of my mom's line came here from Italy, legend has it, and my father's kin got a German surname, though that isn't really anything out of the ordinary here, so who knows. Still, very fascinating stuff, this genealogy.

And oh Pazuzu lord of the Plague Wind, your stuff is straight out of a storybook, looks real pretty.

It's just a throwback to a game I played...some 10 years ago. She's the character I played in a  browser based political simulation/parody. I don't know if it still runs, I don't think it does...  it was completely broken at the time, and the game degraded the more people learnt how to exploit it. Still it was a lot of fun.

Looks like that fish gal, but if she took the jade rings from her hair, grinded them to powder and used it to paint flowers instead  :P I suppose they are painted or tattooed, not actual vegetation, I hope. Also don't hold your spear like that you'll poke someone's eye out

I've been doing silly stuff with paint some time back, made a white one using cornstarch (not commonly used around here, so I didn't know what it was initially) and slivovitz which is much better than the coffee one, and the coffee doesn't irritate when applied over the white one. So I used it in this meme I made for the boyz (really just needed an excuse to summon an ancient frog god in the bedroom) and turned myself into the high priest of Chongism

We're already four days in, but the yearly Art Fight (https://artfight.net/) is happening in the month of July, and I'll participate. If you participate aswell, please say so, so I can draw your character. Right now it's the best way to get free art from me, for those interested.

Here's my page (https://artfight.net/~number-seventeen).

I'm going to draw a lot of pictures. Let's go !

Yeah, the shrimps are straight up stolen from Dominion. Well. Redrawn from a 6/4 sprite but yes I am incapable of original ideas

Also yes it is an olm but part of me wants him to ride a seahorse to battle now... Maybe next year?

Anyway, artfight is still a go

It's been a while of slowly chipping away at building the engine for it, but I finally released the first playable demo of Redlander!

(https://gadgetpatch.neocities.org/pix/RL/splashbanner.png)

The game is pretty minimalist, 100% HTML/JS based, and runs natively on the web, so it should run on just about any machine. Touchscreen support is still incomplete, and there are some audio artifacts in Firefox, but elsewise the dang thing finally works. I'm so happy!

If retro rustpunk sci-fi puzzle platformers are your thing, feel free to check it out:
- Playable demo is here! (https://sunspider.itch.io/redlander-demo)
- Devlog with some screenshots is here (https://sunspider.itch.io/redlander-demo/devlog/402053/redlander-devlog-1-hark-a-playable-alpha)

(https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzk0MDMyMjEucG5n/original/2U1bZO.png)

(https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzk0MDM5NzcuZ2lm/original/vWnYMx.gif)

What I said in the devlog aside... I've really enjoyed animating in 8x8 pixel 1bit pixel art, and making environments out of a limited pool of 2-color tiles. Also, building platformer movement and puzzle mechanics in a strictly tile-based game has inspired some movement and design decisions I probably wouldn't have made in a higher-def game... but they're mechanics I really like the feel of TBH?

P.S. I'm a vain creature who thrives on feedback and kind words, so if you do play it, lemme know how you like it!

I think that from what I've seen you should charge money for the finished product of this. Slap it on steam man.

I really appreciate the kind words, and I'm glad you liked it! I'm taking a short break from Redlander for work and burnout's sake, but I'll be working on it again soon. Maybe I'll make a thread too, I'unno!

Also, it might sound weird, but I actually don't want to charge for this project. The free game ecosystem of the early internet was really important to me as a young person without much means, and a non-ideal home environment... and part of my philosophy with making games is to make them low-tech, broadly accessible, and fund what I can via donations, so that I don't have to paywall 'em. Right now, the project is funded by my Patreon, and I've applied for some no-strings-attached grants, so I can afford to put more time into it and keep it free. It's important to me to do so!

P.S. I'm never selling or hosting anything on Steam ever again. For a series of controlling and exploitative reasons that don't bear getting into in this thread, that platform is hell for small devs. Itch.io is my home for a reason!

A cool game in the making we got there, Solifuge, looks very promising, and had fun with the demo, too! Didn't finish the tutorial, as I wasn't able to figure out the wall sliding  :P so I don't know if there's explained how to push boxes as is shown in the gif here, or it isn't in the demo yet. Got to the transmission from Fran, if I remember the name correctly. Looks real good, took me back to the time of these minimalistic puzzle games.

So, this was a thing...

Quote from: EuchreJack on October 17, 2022, 12:15:44 pm
"scriver was supposed to become a scandinavian bard,
Instead he played Minecraft.
Magmacube wanted scriver to become a scandinavian bard,
So now he is very sad."
"So Jack Looted the Lute, and did the scoot, but still never learned to play.
But instead sold the Lute to some old coot,
And let down Magmacube to this day."

And because of that, so is this now.

Been quite busy with my new pixel art hobby - these are mostly for use D&D usage on Roll20 or other virtual tabletops. Mostly still doing stuff from reference but I've taken to freehanding in parts I want. Been doing a lot of tokens with variations too, though obviously there's way too many for me to post here - if anyone's interested in using them for your DND game let me know.
(https://i.imgur.com/3DTmG1h.png)
A diseased vagrant for city encounters - holding a cleaver, but I have a bunch of other versions with different objects like broomsticks, mallets, improvised clubs, etc. For these and other weapon user variants I've also taken into the habit of giving them a color somewhere signifying what weapon user type they are, based on DF's weapon user colors - so i.e the broom vagrants have a yellowish-brown trim around the hood, and one with a hewing axe has a darker blue trim. This cleaver one has a teal one (I put cleavers into the "sword" category in my mods, anyway, since you wouldn't use one to hack down a tree).
(https://i.imgur.com/23LDpKb.png) (https://i.imgur.com/BNzIoE7.png)
Smug human sorceress and a bandit version. Got other versions specifying different elements - ice, lightning and arcane - with different robe and hair colors.
(https://i.imgur.com/OHkvyk5.png) (https://i.imgur.com/PJ7zSN4.png) (https://i.imgur.com/q9c0vrJ.png) (https://i.imgur.com/d60Y6NY.png) (https://i.imgur.com/jXPqemP.png)
Bunch of different zombie variants - a half-ghoul, a mangled one thats been turned into a pincushion and a scabbard simultaneously (got several different configurations for this one - missing the left arm, missing a vest, and/or lacking the arrows and sword), male zombie peasant (alternate configurations for it too - different objects held in its hand, sans hood, and/or cleaner without blood and dirt - went with a bigger size on it since the original reference lost a lot of detail when I shrank it, but it's still supposed to only take up 1 tle on roll20), female zombie peasant (similar as the male, variants with different objects, with a cap, lacking blood, or with a cap and short hair), and a zombie soldier (only got variants dragging different weapons behind them). The former two are based on Warcraft zombies (Reforged and WoW model respectively), the latter are based on Dragon's Dogma zombies.
(https://i.imgur.com/ul3yL2m.png)
Wraith with a death mask and a skinless face - based on an illustration in one of the Warcraft monster manuals. Nothing like it appears in the games, a shame.
(https://i.imgur.com/kEDeMGQ.png) (https://i.imgur.com/S2dz8DH.png)
Necromancer from Darkest Dungeon as a boss - also a version with a Yakuza-style heat aura signifying low HP (and probably it being able to pull some bigger move, like summoning a Bone General as a free action).
(https://i.imgur.com/SX3xwBB.png)
First weapon graphic I freehanded in its entirety - a sorcerer's torch I initially added for my DF mods, but would want to move to DND as well. Enhances fire magic, but also is a suitably bludgeon for non-magic users - even one with no skill in magic can use its power to blast an enemy with explosive flames at close range.
(https://i.imgur.com/Wyln9OO.png)
A fancy dwarven war axe, based on a WoW model - most of these weapon graphics are just so I don't have to redraw weapons again and again when I want to do weapon variants for generic enemy tokens.
(https://i.imgur.com/bD1KPnd.png)
A barrel of unbridled potential. What's inside? Up to the DM's discretion - could be nothing, could be ale, or could be an armed skeleton hiding inside. Haven't done too many props, doodads or whatever you wanna call them yet, but I do have many references up for usage that I'd like to turn into tokens to replace the top-down ones roll20 usually has.

Two OC creatures, partially from reference and partially freehanded. Oozing Cadaver from my What Lurks Below mod, a partially liquefied zombie whose legs turned into tendrils of rotten flesh, and a Nether Invader from the set of additional bogeymen in my Assorted pack, a limb-twisting aberration with no mouth and an additional set of eyes on the sides of its head.

As for my thoughts on the other art, I like them a lot. I have tried pixelart some years ago, and I know how deceptively hard it is. I kind of want to get back to it, but unless I get my finger out of my ass and start learning the arcane arts of code I don't see the point and it stops me from trying
What I'm getting at is : I really like ZM5 andGiglamesh's art, they rock.

Also Quaksna's map rock too, love me some hand drawn maps

Some more kitbashing. Grimghast Reapers mixed with Sicarian Ruststalkers; three Inquisitors, one of which is magnetized; Ragnar Bow-man and an axe swap on an Iron Priest.

Couple more DND tokens I've been doing.
(https://i.imgur.com/qYMMtO6.png) (https://i.imgur.com/R7o6YG4.png)
Fantasy version of a Mr. Shakedown, along with a heat aura version (got a blue heat aura for phase 2 as well). Realized too late he looks a bit like Gaston.

(https://i.imgur.com/TMBWieH.png) (https://i.imgur.com/yaRTuU3.png)
Elite eldritch cultists, not quite human anymore. Female assassins in green robes, male and female priests in purple and blue, and black-robed male warriors - unarmed male warrior has a tri-split tentacle for a hand. Just had a craving to make some ex-human robed enemies with faces hidden underneath the hoods.

Pair of bounty targets. Olrik the Undertaker, leader of a bunch of graverobbers, and Pete the Punisher, leader of a street thug gang.

More tokens, mostly for cult/undead stuff.
(https://i.imgur.com/Q1cvA3C.png)(https://i.imgur.com/jPjPC6N.png)
Lower-tier cult leader, mostly inspired by the cult leader boss from Dead Rising 1. Standard token and one with afterimages when he gets super fast at low HP.
(https://i.imgur.com/W2xr8AF.png)
Acolyte of the cult - low-ranking despite the fancy robes. Mostly a support enemy for DND, instead of a builder, for obvious reasons.
(https://i.imgur.com/Ra73Dfj.png)
Remnant, inspired by Project Malice for Doom. Masquerades as a marine corpse in Doom, as a knight corpse in fantasy DND - angry zombie that punches hard and vomits blood and maggots.
(https://i.imgur.com/HTmgjSV.png)(https://i.imgur.com/Ogiw2H0.png)(https://i.imgur.com/IhgZovN.png)(https://i.imgur.com/BF7JfXb.png)(https://i.imgur.com/pRl092C.png)(https://i.imgur.com/H8chNxo.png)
Variants on feral Ghouls. Unarmed, agile and fast glass cannons - pretty easy to take out, but they hit decently hard and have some staying power thanks to their Cannibalize ability.
(https://i.imgur.com/ilJz4AN.png)
Alpha ghoul boss/miniboss. Large monsters that lead packs of other ghouls, both feral and ones that have more intellect. Still gotta make a moveset and stat sheet for it though.

It’s a resin print on an Anycubic Photon Mono 4k, I can barely see the layers with my eye. But other than using a very accurate machine I didn’t do anything special.

Using resin must be the thing, if I remember right most of the things I've seen have been using the plastic filament.


Not sure what difference between resin and plastic printing is.
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: Thunderforge on January 18, 2023, 05:20:59 am
Oh yes, quite different methods, with different pros and cons.

Resin is a fluid hit by a laser to set it hard, so the model appears out of the liquid like the lady of the lake.

Note: since posting the photo I knocked it off my shelf and broke the axe head off. 😞 Guess I’ll just print another! 😁

I've only really looked into the plastic filament printers, maybe I should look into the resin printers more.

Yeah, it was a request from a friend as a valentine gift for his girl. Didn't follow the story but he asked specifically for that vidya character, action and setting. As I never played the game so I wouldn't know any more

More drawing incoming :

I've been practicing!
Thanks to superdorf for some art tutorials, though these two aren't related to those tutorials.

Spoiler: Figurine practice (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: V1 from Ultrakill practice (click to show/hide)

I drew the first one from mind and the second one mostly from mind (a second pass using a reference for character details, like how many fingers it has; the pose in the reference was completely different.) I think this means I'm getting a foothold on sketching forms from mind, which is encouraging.

I've also found I'm more comfortable with pen and pencil than with my previous experiments in digital art - though all those experiments used a mouse. I think practicing pen and pencil are much better ways to learn for me, regardless.

Post by: Superdorf on May 23, 2023, 06:56:27 pm
Cool!

Paper and pencil is way easier to get started with for sure. Keep practicing from references/real life, alongside the form-construction work you're already doing - you're doing good stuff :)

"scriver was supposed to become a scandinavian bard,
Instead he played Minecraft.
Magmacube wanted scriver to become a scandinavian bard,
So now he is very sad."
"So Jack Looted the Lute, and did the scoot, but still never learned to play.
But instead sold the Lute to some old coot,
And let down Magmacube to this day."

And because of that, so is this now.

The old scoot became Frumple pretty much arbitrarily; I looked at the first page of the list of users arranged in post count, and took the oldest one out of that page, which was Frumple.
Yeah, Frumple makes sense. He'd totally buy a hot lute, and he's old.

Post by: BlackFlyme on July 10, 2023, 01:13:00 pm
He has both arms, I just removed it on the 3d model because I couldn’t get it to stop clipping through the pelt. It’s hard to see on the mini, but the knuckles are poking out slightly on it as well.

Here’s the official mini I took the torso and pelt from, if it helps.

I have been working on resurrecting an old pen plotter. (HP 7440A / HP ColorPro)

It holds 8 little stubby pens.  I have modified/cut the chasis so that long pens can be loaded, and bought some little aluminum pen holders to hold inexpensive ballpoint pen ink tubes/tips.

This is an (incomplete, Plotter's X axis linear rail was apparently dry, and too stiff, causing the printer to abort about 75% through. That's ok, manual inspection of the plot file shows it was never going to actually change pens like it was supposed to anyway) AI generated image produced from Imagine.AI (Very good quality generator, actually!), that I ran through it and DrawingBotsv3-Premium

The pen is a very crappy "It actually came from the front desk at a casino!" ballpoint pen, calibrated to "just barely touch the paper".  It draws like an inexpensive BiC pen, which is why I stole it from work. (It was already stolen once, being a promotional pen from a casino...)

(http://i.postimg.cc/g29bPB83/inky.jpg)

This plotter only accepts letter sized paper, and has a max plottable area of 8x10 inside the 8.5x11 paper. (needs .25" margins on all sides)


I am considering using this machine and software toolchain to make pen-drawn portraiture of my residents for their families. (with permission, of course.)

That's pretty cool looking, so is a pen plotter is a computer controlled thing that draws what you tell it to?
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: wierd on August 18, 2023, 02:04:02 am
Yes.

Mine is an HP 7440A (ColorPro) (http://hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?hw=80)

It speaks a limited subset of the HP Graphics Language (HPGL), which is human-readable, and talks on a serial port.

In theory, you can control it directly from any oldschool BASIC interface that supports a serial port, since it uses human-readable plain-text command codes. The bread and butter commands with this plotter are:

IN;  (Initialize printer)
DF; (Load printer defaults)
PS(n); Set pen pressure
SP(n); Select Pen
PU(X,Y); (Pen Up, move to location in .01mm increments)
PD(X.Y); (Same as above, but with Pen Down)

Basically, a computer controlled etch-a-sketch


DrawingBotsV3 (Premium!!) has a subprogram to communicate with these old plotters, and is able to produce the volumetric shading needed to use a pen to render a modern pixel-based image into pen strokes. (using a variety of methods)

Free software, like InkScape also can speak HPGL over a serial port, to send paths to such a device, but my plotter does not support the FILL operation, or programmed polygons. (It WOULD with the 'graphics enhancement', but I have been unable to locate one!)

Haven't been trying pixel pushing in ages, but managed to do a EGA Lucasarts Loom/Monkey Island inspired banner for an upcoming DF community fort:

(https://i.imgur.com/nLDZVzC.png)

Original dimensions 480x207, used classic EGA 16 color palette.

The dithering and color usage is basically a rip-off from Loom, though I did place the pixels myself. (I really suck with colors, so was easier just looking what others did. Plus I haven't really used dithering that much, so a reference was nice.)
Title: Re: Random Things you drew/shopped/made/etc.
Post by: wierd on October 08, 2023, 01:30:37 am
Unlike CGA which has only like, 4 programmable palettes of really shit colors-- EGA has a fully programmable register of 16 colors out of a nice spread of 64 colors that can be used.

The full EGA 64 color palette is available in a few modes even, but they are not officially supported by IBM. (their hardware will just do it if you throw the right registers at it.)
The color choices used by, EG, LOOM (vs Monkey Island), are taken to select for mood(tm), so if you were looking for an austere or somber theme, why not just steal the color selection? :P

Just pointing out that the full EGA palette is well known, and documented.

CGA, EGA... *technical details beyond my puny brain*

We just used to call this certain 16 color palette EGA as kids back in the day, so it's stuck since then. Probably going to keep using it even if it's not technically correct.  :P

...And yeah, I didn't use all the 16 colors, but took a "mood" selection from them. I'm just limiting my choices to these colors:

I think I will push your pixel art through my plotter software with some 'extended gamut* '(ahem) marker pens, and see what comes out.

I just recently made some ghetto pen holders for some LaPen brand .3mm ceramic tip markers (in pastel hues) and want to try them out.

* (a total of 8 markers can live in the carousel, for 50% grey, cyan, magenta, yellow, teal, peach, lavender, and blue.)

For reference, CGA can only use 4 colors at a time, out of 16 possible, selected from 4 pre-defined palettes.

IT'S BUTT UGLY.

and is why Monkey Island looks like..... THIS..... in CGA mode.

Ah, yes, I'm aware of how many colors CGA & EGA can display at a time. That was pretty obvious even as a ten year old with one glance at the monitor. :P

CGA actually looked quite decent with a monochrome monitor... Or, well, that is if you get over the whole monochrome aspect, which wasn't a problem when you hadn't seen anything else.

..Anyway, what I guess I've been referring to as the palette is the color scheme then (and old EGA games mostly used the (default?) 16 color selection I posted above)? (I'm not a native English speaker, so there's that too.)

Also, on topic:

I made another EGA Lucas/Sierra style piece for the DF game. The ghost is based on LeCheck (MI1) & Rusty (Loom) sprites:

The default Dwarf Fortress color scheme uses the same 16 colors. Maybe that's one reason?

I'm honestly surprised how quick these come out when I start working.

I mean, I'm normally super slow (compared to, say, professional artists): drawing a A4 sized black&white picture takes several days for me, add to that coloring, so a color picture can take over a week easily. These... Well, they come in a day or two. :o

Do you use a specific pixel-art centered program, or just MSPaint?

Seeing these, makes me wish I had the time to spend doodling pixels again.  Sadly, THE VERY INSTANT I TRY TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I get lambasted by old people who have sudden and relentless "Needs" to use the toilet, and cannot get "in the zone" to do anything.

(Or, I get lambasted by charge nurses who think I have nothing better to do, and given a honey-do list.)

I pine for the days when I was an industrial draftsman, and had time after completing my work assignments, and a nice, quiet cubicle.

I'm using GrafX2 (http://grafx2.chez.com/). It's the closest I've found with the feel and interface of Deluxe Paint, which I played quite a lot with as a kid.

I've found that more modern programs with their fancy UIs and other such useless garbage QoL things are not nearly as well-suited for pixeling as, well, a program that was specifically designed for a 320x200 resolution.

Edit. someone on Reddit asked what were my steps in the process, so I made a timelapse gif, cuz I happened to have quite a few saves:

Yeah, I'm quite satisfied with them and surprised how well the EGA palette worked with them. Also, the elephant seal man turned out good even though I was certain I can't draw one without it looking like a complete, uh, dick (ok, still looks like a dick, but that's just how elephant seals look).

I might redo the dwarf since it's bothering me that the pic looks stylistically different and quite flat. Partially it's due to the palette and me trying to do the portrait according to the description as best as I could with the colors (dark skin, pumpkin hair).

I made a few sprites for some characters for a CYOA RP game I'm running for some friends.  I just take still frames and edit them as needed for different scenes.

Spoiler: Animated (click to show/hide)

They're based on a Stellaris species I made using the fox portrait, but they're alien foxes.  I added horns for giggles to make them more alien.  The game I'm running for them is based on a NaNoWriMo project from last year, which is based on them finding their first alien life in the form of undead aliens in a space pyramid.

The horns made them look more like space alien goats, imho :P

Yeah, there's that for sure.  I kind of regret not giving them more caprine features actually, like hooves.  Ah well.

My brother has a web comic he's working on, and a while back I modeled the main character in Blender, 3D printed him, and painted the result:

This is a picture my brother drew of the character to compare against, spoilered since I didn't make it:

I need a light box or better place to take pictures, and need to work on my painting technique.  Other than a bit of a gradient on the eyes, it's all flat colors, and amateurish.  I also hate that it's obvious where his tail was rigged, and I'd need to do a better job with the subdivision or sculpting cleanup next time.

Anyway, a full resolution image can be found on the main comic album on DeviantArt: link (https://www.deviantart.com/moonclashcomic)
