Bay 12 Games Forum

Glad I keep saving these "win games as X" quests for the brawls.

The hidden bomb one is by far the worst. Some part of it always requires fighting and I always waste a bunch of time fighting the frame-perfect autoparry by NPC's until they explosion ends the game. Might as well just quit when that one comes up.

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.
Posemaniacs for a 3-d musculature pose reference library database collection.
Pixelovely, figure drawing reference and more. Since it's figure drawing, there's nekkid people here. so check it after work or whatever.
John Muir Laws 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.

The real question, I feel, is shields vs. cloak.

Personal opinion, cloak is way too slow and when it's down you're toast. Unless you pack on armor, basically making yourself immobile unless you have a cloaked minelayer or drone ship that doesn't need the maneuverability. Your AI pilots are pants-on-head morons though, so using mines basically means you try to do everything yourself while your goons suicide or lead everything away from your minefield.

I did like the deployable turrets for area denial though, on the odd mission you could actually use such things.

I don't think I'll be able to do much in Inktober (as usual, NaNovember demands preparations), so have this early offering. Fine Sharpie + brush pen.


Scanner still makes it look washed as hell for whatever reason and I CBA to toy with it digitally right now.

my cell phone took up the same amount of space as a pill.

Jokes on you, that was a suppository.

I guess I'm not entirely sold on Yogg just from my own experience against it. I've seen him outright win a game for my opponent maybe twice. Lots of mediocre/no effect plays (like a lot of single target spells cast at an empty board), and the hilarious betrayal a couple times. Maybe it would be different if I had a spell druid, but I think I'm somewhat light on the druid spell cards. I also don't have flamewankers so I can't tempo yogg mage well, and I lack call of the wilds for Yogg n' Load.

So, Legendary for a single deck. if I did that, I'd probably craft Malygos for rogue/shaman shenanigans. I may just sit on the dust for a while longer, won't have the chance to play HS too much til December in any case.

Unrelated, anyone tried menagerie/zoo druid since Kara came out? I don't think it's competitive really, but it's fun for quests in casual.
