Re: How to tie your design together?

My two cents is that you need to decide on your art direction prior to starting out. Font, UI and colors usually give your audience the most impact for a VN, but there are smaller considerations too. I think the easiest way to go about it is to just decide on a palette from the very beginning. Decid...

Re: NEED ANSWER SOON

I think there's more to it than just the ghz involved. Maybe the LSF folks can help you better if you list out your specs? I've played games where my PC fails the minimum requirement, but it means lots of crashes and it's slow as all-out. It's possible on tactical games or RPGs, but anything that re...

Today's studies.
After painting so many beige people it's very challenging and rewarding to tackle on something else at last.

Re: Sci-fi: Do you expect alien dates, or human only?

Not gonna lie, my first thought was, 'why would you play a scifi and NOT date the aliens??', but maybe that's just me. Some people enjoy the fantasy of the alien, but don't actually want anything slimy, or have 4 legs, or y'know - not human. At least, I've seen a lot of this happening in books. I'v...

Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

Thanks Tempus and Geckos! I cleaned it up some over here. I'm trying to break down the tarot art of Dragon Age Inquisition and understand the theme of their designs. Still a long way to go but I shall get there eventually. And here's some blubbity school work. http://i.imgur.com/2CwARp1l.jpg

Re: Writing "Canon" and the Problems of Being "Real"

For me, the problem is not whether there are multiple endings but whether any of the choices matter after all. Say a hero sets out on a journey to fight a dragon. He's always going to kill the dragon, but how you go about amassing strength to kill it might determine whether you're lauded as a hero.....

Re: Get that thing off your chest... Now...

For one of our digital illustration classes, we've basically been flogged mercilessly for the whole semester. The lecturer showcases our work piece by piece, and quote - says it's ugly, or that he doesn't want to critique it because we painted it without using our brains. Now everyone in the class i...

Re: Sci-fi: Do you expect alien dates, or human only?

I demand this: http://i.imgur.com/6g7yvjkm.jpg But yes, aliens please, and make them extra alieny too. One of my pet peeves with sci-fi books is that their aliens are basically humans dip in mauve paint, with a completely human physiology. I'm okay with combat scenes, but they generally aren't very ...

'Draw me a landscape', said my college application, so okay here goes. I'm just going to pretend I'm going for a vague look and it's got nothing to do with the fact that I just plain suck at detailing. *cough*

Re: Boredom strikes!

No local library? When it's a holiday and I've run out of books to read I usually go to the local library and stay there from the moment it opens until they throw me out. The selection is poor and the book tends to look like weapons for biological warfare, but you'll be surprised what gems you find ...

Re: Getting sick of Japanese names

@Runic: And yet the world does not cater to you, nor all the haters of werewolf/vampire romances. The fact is that there are people who enjoy those books, probably just as many as those who enjoy the books you like. If people are still writing it by the thousands, then there are thousands of people ...

Re: Writing vs. Drawing

I find art easier because how good your piece is is immediately apparent. If I'm making lots of mistakes and something looks deformed, I know right away that I'm on the wrong track. This allows me to judge for myself if the piece is worth putting in the daylight and how to correct it. With writing, ...
