Caught in between GxB (WIP). Update(April 15, 2011) 1st page

Despite the cliche, I really like it so far. I have a soft spot for childhood friends. ^^;
Will you need a lot of emotions? If there aren't too many I might be able to help do the sprites, since 4 characters are very manageable. C:
Just one problem. I'm not good at spiky hair ahaha. Will unruly tousled hair do instead? /bricked

Sure, I need all the help that I could possibly get, and I think that kind of hair will do as long as it would look good on David.
Welcome to the team and Thank you very much for the help..!

[Elze]

You're welcome, but wait! oAo;; How many expressions/poses will you need? And will you need more than one set of clothes per chara? Sorry, I need the details before I can confirm if I'm in, since I don't want to be dragging down the team if I can't commit.

[SilverxBlue]

Caroline and Amber will have the same kind of clothing since it would be their uniform the only difference is Caroline's uniform is a little bit "looser" than Amber's. Then, Trevor will also wear a uniform. For David he will be wearing a varsity jacket with a white shirt inside. As for the expression I think I would only be needing worried, sad, happy,shocked, embarrassed, angry, neutral and crying(this one would only be for Caroline). As for the poses I am not sure yet but I definitely need a pose for the guys that would look like they are about to fight.

[Elze]

Hmmm. Will their uniforms be cardigans or coats? Pleasetellmeit'scardiganslmao /shotshotshot
I think it should be manageable. Please count me in! C:

Ehh. Will something like this be fine for the sprites?

OuO;;

If needed, I can try to work closer towards Juriya's style too, I think.

[SilverxBlue]

I prefer cardigans. As for that sprite I think that would be fine, better even.

[Elze]

Awesome. I like fluffy cardigans lol. /shot again
Just let me know again when the designs are up and stuff.

Hi I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately. Especially the character design that I promised (Sorry the most to Elze and juryia since they are waiting for it.). It's because this week has been nothing but STRESS to me. First we were going to have our stupid investigatory project defense for school so I had to prepare. Then, when Wednesday came I caught high fever and then on the weekend I had to go to our province to participate on a festival. I am really sorry anyway, the character design will be posted in maybe 3-4 days. Then, after that this project will be moving but maybe a little bit slowly since I'll be busy because I have to practice for cheer dance this January, Prom for February and Graduation for March (I also have to add my stupid clearance signing and I have to admit requirements and I don't mix.)

[monochromia]

It's probably due to the fact we're from different countries, but I did get confused at reading how the story is about high school seniors when here in the U.S. a high school senior is 18 years old whereas 16 years old is pretty much a sophomore in high school (or a freshmen depending if middle/intermediate school is three years). I really don't know if any of that is relevant, but it did confuse me. XD

I'm not a programmer and let alone a good enough artist to jump onto a VN project, but if you need anyone for English related things such as looking for grammatical errors or in need of fixing sentences so they flow better and all those whatnots feel free to hit me up. C: I don't mind helping out with something like that.

[SilverxBlue]

Oh we are from different countries...

Here we don't go through 7th and 8th grade or middle school. After 6th grade we graduate then enter High school so, when we are seniors our age would be most likely 16 or 17 some are even 15. I decided to turn it to like that because i'm more used to our country's usual school curriculum and I do not know what kind of curriculum schools have in the US or any other country, even if i've read a lot of books made by American authors I still wouldn't know because I never had any first-hand experience on it .

Would this thing be an issue?
Anyway, thank you. I'll be adding you as a friend here and PM you just in case I need a proofreader. English may be my best subject in school but i'm sure I make mistakes too. Moreover, it would be nice to hear from someone who has English as his native language.

I actually missed something out. orz;; The location.

When I signed up for this, I was kinda assuming that this was based in America. Funny how it didn't hit me that this wasn't the case since school uniforms are involved. I'm guessing that means it's in the Philippines? (looks at your country/region) I'm fine with that, but in that case, are the uniforms supposed to look like the ones you wear in your country or do I just do the normal Japanese styled uniforms? I'm just thinking it might be weird if the characters look like Japanese high school students but they're not. I don't know a thing about Filipino schools though, I'm afraid.

Also, I'll gradually be busier the further we get into the year. ^^; I won't be able to work on this at all during April and May(crunch period). I'll be totally free June onwards though. So if you're looking to finish this asap(and not have it postponed till June), it'll be better if I can start working on the sprites and finish them by february, since my free time is pretty much non-existent after feb.

This seems pretty interesting! I don't mind cliches at all as long as the story is good. I can't wait to see the art! ^^

Oh the uniforms are just the same as those Japanese style ones I asked my friend who grew up in Japan to design it already so that you don't have to worry about the uniform.(she even offered to design casual clothes but I declined since I think it would be too much for you and juryia)

The characters aren't Filipinos and the setting is not in the Philippines. I just based their school's curriculum on ours. (Maybe I could just change their ages and write a part where they actually attended middle school...)

I'm about to post the characters I'm just trying to borrow my cousin's scanner and then I'll post it and I won't be very busy now since I decided to quit cheer dance. So, my schedule is pretty much back to normal.

Thank you very much!
It's so nice to hear this kind of feedback from people.I'll do my best on the story but for the art I give it all into my friend, juryia and elze's hands. (sighs) I want to curse myself for my inability to draw good art.

[Elze]

Oh okay. May I ask where the school is supposed to be located at then? C: The names are western, but since you said your friend is designing the clothes after Japanese school uniform.. I guess my main concern is still this:

"I'm just thinking it might be weird if the characters look like Japanese high school students but they're not".

& I'll be looking forward to the character designs! <3

[Julie]

Good luck with it! You have some good artists in your team. ^^
