Re: The Letter [Horror][Steam Greenlight](Updated 10/17/2015

Wait, if Isabella is superstitious enough to take hauntings/supernatural things seriously and is supposed to care deeply for the welfare of her friends to the point of "sacrificing herself [for their wellbeing]", why would she share the letter to them? What was she expecting to happen or h...

Re: Heavenseed [YuriJam] [Fantasy/Mythological]

Update! Given the underestimated scope of this game, I'm going to be releasing a demo for the jam. The demo itself shall be the prologue and up to part of chapter 3 (of 10). In light of this I'm now working on the art assets and will be updating again in the future! Hope you're looking forward to it...

Re: Heavenseed [YuriJam] [Fantasy/Mythological]

Background roughs/concepts roundup! (Click to view bigger version) The Altar Exterior concept (and likely a rough for one of the main BGs), I like this direction, so I'll definitely push it this way. From here I'll probably be extracting 2 extra BGs (fountain/"plaza", entrance to shrine) h...

Re: Heavenseed [YuriJam] [Fantasy/Mythological]

Thanks for nice comments, I'm glad the designs are appealing! (I worried that having a more muscular lady would be a turnoff XD) Will Amaran have a human form? Amaran doesn't really "pretend" human very well, but she tries at some points. (To the right is Liam's biological mother.) http://...

Heavenseed [YuriJam] [Fantasy/Mythological]

For the Yuri Game Jam, I'm revisiting and refining an idea I had for a VN. Heavenseed "In this world, there are many unknown dangers. Human beings get by as best they can, but when these perils prove too much for them, they have no choice but to call out to the gods. The gods listen, and they c...

Re: Character Critique Needed!

The painting style is very pleasing to look at and it certainly is at a commercial looking level; only critique really is how same-faced they are. That won't be a dealbreaker for most people but it's a "shame" to have excellent rendering but honestly pretty weak character design. The cloth...

Re: Colour: Above or Below Shading? (digital)

Oh, I get it now. I don't actually have many examples (not any that I know where they're originally from anyway.) Mostly I just enjoy playing around with my own style and figuring out what I can improve on. Yes I'm asking for if there are any professional pieces you are aiming to get a result simil...

Re: Colour: Above or Below Shading? (digital)

Do you have a commercial example of art that exemplifies what you are asking? From the sounds of it if you want this "soft look" it's going to require painting since you have specified you don't want your lines to be that obvious. A possible workaround is to use thinner or softer brush lin...

Re: Colour: Above or Below Shading? (digital)

(FYI CS4 user so I don't have accsess to as many tools) Typically my layer breakdown looks like this: (Topmost) - Lines -highlights -shading (bottommost) - flats Sometimes gradients or other effects are shuffled about, but GENERALLY I find that flat/base colors work best on the bottom layer. Shadows...

Re: Question about Assets made through Unlicensed programs.

(You'll want to get a more professional opinion just in case) However the understanding is that as long as you purchase the license prior to commercial release, you should be fine. The programs don't hold license to the ideas or practice you may have used, merely the tools, licensees are typically t...

Re: Forming a Writer's Guild

Considering there are still employers without employees an employees without employers, I'd say it's not a redundant feature. I don't know what other guilds, associations and various relevant organizations did or didn't do. But I know that it is either wrong or not enough. And I know what I will do...

Yes! I'm currently writing the script. 8)
