Re: Ookami's attempts at making characters.

I did notice that. I believe it's because technically, they Are paper dolls. The elbows, shoulders, and hips too, are Hinges. I was planning on drawing the elbows in properly once I make a solid decision on their arm/hand positions for a particular game. (Game pngs don't need hinges.) However, for ...

Well, I like how it's looking so far. ;)

Re: Vignettes[GxB,character-driven,college][Nano 13]

Although most of my art is far from complete, I decided to update with what I have, because it should give a little bit better of an idea than the original sketches. Plus I had fun making that college flyer. I was going for realism there. ;) I've made progress on writing, too, but that isn't as easy...

Re: Ens Causa Sui [Nano2013]

The story will not be quite like Melancholy, and the Godgirl in both are pretty different. I hope it'll prove a good read regardless. I intend to dedicate all weekend to finishing the writing. :D The premise more reminds me of a Christopher Pike novel called Sati: man meets woman claiming to be God...

Re: [insert title here][Nano2013][BxG][gameplay]

I think pictures would be helpful because they give a sense of what you're going for. I'd be interested in seeing the sprites. Then maybe a mockup of what a screen will look like, or a logo for the project?

I do have an Android and I would be interested in playing it. ;)

Re: installed vs play online.

Personally I'm strongly in preference of downloaded games. I used to like the physical disk, too, but in the past couple years the model of having an account (e.g. EA store, PSN) and buying + downloading non-physical versions has really grown on me. This is partly because of the ease of finding and ...

Re: Ookami's attempts at making characters.

I definitely dig the coloring and use of patterns! I like the stylization, too. I think you're at a point where the bodies are close to feeling "right," but small inconsistencies make them a little bit uncanny. The hands are really cool, but there is a sense of "weight" missing i...

How Do I Tolerate Repetitive Questions? A Quick Reference

If reading isn't your thing then try youtube. Incidentally, there's nothing I hate more than only being able to find a video when I type a "How Do I" question into Google. Give me a page with text over a video any day... BUT, that's beside the point. Yes, "How Do I" questions ar...

Yeah, I tried to use bits of dialogue representative of my ideas (ie. not "Hello, my name is..." *snooze*). I'm glad you were amused. ;)

Re: Vignettes[GxB,character-driven,college][Nano 13]

I've updated my post above with a title screen mockup. I thought about having pictures of the five guys in the story, but instead, I think I'll have 5 pictures of the protagonist expressing different emotions. Even though you might try to "get the guy," that's not really The Goal of the st...

Re: Vignettes[GxB,dating sim,college,personality rp][Nano 13

I've actually made some progress (the kind I have something to show for). I added a couple of mockups above.

P.S. I did do some research on speed dates. :)

Re: What is your Current and Future Art Style?

What do you think your current art style is like? I don't have much of one currently. I've learned a lot of tools, especially pencil, acrylic paints, and Photoshop. I can do realistic things very well using/combining references (figures, faces, animals, still lifes) but it takes me forever. Sometim...

Re: Proofreader wanted

I'd be happy to take a look at the English, too (I'm a native U.S. speaker). No German for me, though, either.

Re: Artist for hire: Sprites, CGs, Backgrounds

I want to chime in and say I commissioned a background from Badriel and had a good experience. He listened to what I was asking for and asked questions when needed. Turnaround was pretty quick. I loved his backgrounds here and I was not disappointed with how mine turned out. Thanks!

Re: A little help with english grammar...

In “living room”, notice that the 'g' is not actually pronounced – if it was written “livingroom”, it would cause confusion with pronunciation (“livin-groom”?) I don't think that's it, because the "g" would not be pronounced as a hard "g" ("groom") when it's part of &q...
