The "him being gay" thing is mostly just about being able to trust him and comfort level. I mean, it's safe to assume he's not gonna be sexually attracted to me if he's gay, right? That whole sexual tension thing is awkward, I don't like it, and it's the reason most of my friends are girls. I get that he's his own person and all that, but that's true isn't it? I'm not way out in left field for thinking a gay guy isn't gonna fall for me am I?

If he's gay, and seeing someone, chances are that he won't be interested. Act like you would normally with a friend and you'll be fine. There is only tension because you're still a little unsure. Honestly, when some ladies talk to me (not realizing that I'm gay) you can tell that they're a little tense (in both posture and tone). Just ignore it really.

Kyle's portrait is complete, and I think that's it for today. I've been neglecting Fire Emblem and I have work later. I shall continue tomorrow.

228
Alexia's portrait is finished. I have no idea if I'll do another one by tonight, but I can start at least. Also, I think I'll only do updates once a day to avoid babbling. XD

Once again, let me know if you wanted to make a change and I'll see what I can do.

229
Here's what I have so far. As I complete them I'll put links into my first post. It should be post #4 or 5.

Alexia Jade: WIP Portrait
Heath: Portrait (Surprise :P)

I might finish the full body image when I'm done with the important bits, but I might not. Let me know what you think of it so far and if anything needs to change.

EDIT: I can't think what colour Alexia's skirt should be. The pink belt is throwing me. White however looks alright as is, but if someone has a better idea I'll take it. Now to make it plaid... D:

Before I start on a few of the other character portraits does anyone want to add a little more to their character's outfit description? A few of the descriptions had a few blanks spots for me. Gregory Mason specifically needs an outfit description other than green. :P

I'll dance around drawing Greg for now and get started on the others. If you wanted to add something let me know, I'll be drawing them throughout the week and can change minor things if need be. Hopefully I'll have someone's portrait done by tonight.

EDIT: Here it is.

Name: Heath
Birthdate: April 18th (Aries)
Stat Allocation: +2 Speed, +1 Strength
Unique Class: Mist Berserker
Personality: He is usually calm and composed when discussing the matters at hand, often coming across as a little cold, but when faced with an opponent he becomes a bit of a hothead. He's perfectly willing to lay down his life to take down an enemy threatening either himself or an ally, and lately that seems to be more and more common. He isn't above a tactical retreat, but it isn't exactly his first option.
Physical Description: Working on a picture actually.

Background: He can't say he doesn't miss the Wood from which he was born, but he also can't say that he remembers it to its full entirety. His memories are blurred like the dense Mist that shrouded the dense woodland of his home, but the memory of his shame haunts him. Looking back he regrets saving that outsider that was stupid enough to wander into their Wood and guiding them out. He occasionally asks himself if it could have been different had he turned a blind eye to the man's cries, shuttering at the very fact that he could consider something so cold. It wasn't saving his life that he regretted, but his exile that swiftly followed it. Lost, and not wishing to be driven mad like exiles before him he left the heavy mists of Jagd Ilbroth to the far north of Archades. He hoped that he could retain his mind and still make it to the city, but it was a long walk and it would take days. It was a day into his walk that he came across a group of people digging wide, deep pits. Upon seeing people moving baskets from a pit he rushed them blindly, already lost. Had they not been mining nethicite he might have killed a few of them. It didn't take long before they simply knocked him out and dragged him away before he did some actual damage to them. After a day or two of being held in a cage with materials he was conscripted to work for them as a smuggler to avoid being left behind and hungry.

Fifty years later he is now, at the age of eighty he makes the best of his life. He knows he can never return to the heart of the Jagd he called home to renew his connection with the Wood, and they may hunt him like a common criminal. He knows the church doesn't like his presence, but he keeps his eyes open, looking for a chance to sell himself as a sellsword for the desperate. It doesn't pay well, but he enjoys it.


I'll be working on the art by the way. I'll leave links to character portraits and sprites as they're completed.

Spoiler: Art to be done (click to show/hide)

Making a sheet. I'll edit it in.

I'm happy that people are giving me ideas. Thanks everyone.

I can probably borrow some of my dad's tools for now, but I'll probably have to pick up a mini solderer.

I think I'll avoid LEGO Technic as I want to get used to finding and building common parts, eventually getting the tools to fabricate parts myself. However since I'm a beginner, if I find a good deal on them I won't turn a blind eye to the option.

A Boe-bot however looks promising, as I have little programming experience at the moment and getting something moving might inspire me to learn to program for the thing.

I intend to get an Auduino and make something like a hexapod walker, but for now I'd like to work on the basics before buying some of the more expensive parts and doing something a little more unique. I really would love to work with those though, I really would.

Now the trick will be getting the money to start this project. Saving up to move to another city and get into robotics is kind of expensive. XD

Creative Projects / Starting in ELECTRONICS!!! (Suggestions needed)
« on: June 06, 2013, 10:13:36 pm »
Hello! It's been a while. Some may know me as that one guy that draws sometimes, but that's not why I made this thread. I'm hoping to get into a technical institute next year, and I figured, 'why not make awesome machines and robots while I'm at it?' So here I am, nearly broke and trying to save up to move to Calgary with no experience in electronics beyond basic theory.

What I need is a basic, cheap project to get the ball rolling. If I can get into the habit of doing something somewhat academic every day then it won't be so crushing when I get back to school. It can be anything from setting up a servo-based claw to programming a microcontroller to spin a servo in intervals. Right now I have no equipment beyond random powertools and screwdrivers. No breadboard, no nothing. ANY help would be immensely appreciated.

Solifuge, contact Notch or at least Mojang.

Notch liked your work enough to send you an email. If they have room for a spriter I'm sure that they would love to have you on their team. They aren't going to stop at Minecraft, so see if you can be part of their future.

Thanks for the reply. I think I solved the problems in the second and third parts of that one, but I know exactly what you mean.

1. For the second half of the second part and onward (when I continued playing) I moved the mic a little closer, and it worked better, with only a little thresholding. I couldn't do much about it in the first because I captured the mic along with the audio. It's the biggest downside of using just FRAPS.

2. The gamma issue was actually from the .avi encoder, so I just needed to turn the brightness/contrast up a little to make things more visible. I fixed it in time for the second and third parts, but it didn't don on me for the first.

3. I agree that the first one should have been shorter to keep it more exciting. Same probably goes for most of my Metro episodes. I definitely need to work on it. Just because there is a 15 minute limit doesn't mean I need to hit it every time.

4. Making more videos is all I can do there. It'll come with time.

Life Advice / Looking for Criticism for a Youtube Channel

It's been a while since I've been on the forums. While I was away I started a youtube channel for Let's Plays. The problem is that I don't have any comments, only a few views, etc. I have no idea if I'm doing alright, or what I would need to improve.

Here's my channel. Anything constructive would be nice.

I'll claim the Bracers of Natural Attack +1. As long as someone else foots the beer tab for Blace and Lenna I don't really need a share of gold.

I have a sneaking suspicion that I won't be able to show up for sessions until holiday hours are done. I'll probably miss the next two sessions, assuming that holiday hours don't stretch past Boxing Day. If there is someone on a waitlist that wants in, just let them. If I'm replaced, just waitlist me and I'll be back in eventually. It's just bad timing. :\

I haven't been taking any of the loot so far. Whenever a natural attack item or a Cloak of Resistance shows up can I have it?
