Yay Olly! More critters! hehe! (sry I just have a tendency for calling kinda scary things "cute" sometimes, I'm just like that!)
hehe they kinda remind me of fishes with legs!
Oooh and I love the gradient shading on Fire! and the lightning bold on Ligthning is way too cool!!!!! hehe they're growing on me, all of them. I think it's a great idea to submit them as a set of icons!!! You should do that! BTW I know it's kinda random to ask this here but how do you make icons that have a transparent background? (I know you can make something in MS Paint and name it as something with an ending like .ico or something to the like that makes it a useable icon, but it's always got a white background).
Alright, 'nuff bout icons! I was supposed to be reading but I did this insead...

(Larger version here!)
you have to download an actual icon creating program, i think theres a freeware one called Axicons, or something along those lines :/
I dled some program called RPG maker, released by ASCII. Its pretty simle but neat. began making my first ugly games... but since we cant count much on features Im more into storyboards.
Most graphics are already supplied, but u can make ur own, if u have the patience. I began getting the taste now to draw Facesets and monsters. Here are some i created. However they dont match the game's one. So looks weird overall. hehe.
=)
(edit)argh, thought we could attach several images and they could show up as atachments... guess the img thing is better... lets give it a shot =)
A ranger I drew for face set:

hey Sagess, cool ranger dude. your monsters are interesting, but I think the blade on the first one looks a little... I dunno, maybe it could use a 1-pixel dark(er) gray outline. They look cool though!
Last night I went on a drawing spree and made up a new character, "Spree" (cuz I went on a drawing spree lol and all the drawings were excellent). I thought I'd draw her again in Flash, so here she is... only prob is that I don't like the positions of her legs and the outstreched arm looks a little weird for some reason. Otherwise, I think she turned out well. :)
Nice work Tahn, the legs are out of proportion with the body, they are far too small i think that's whats wrong with them the posistion is fine.
As for her arm I'm not sure what to do, I know what you mean but I can't think how to fix it, the sleeve looks shorter you could try extending that? :D
With my icons things I've got them all in png format, which XP will accept for icons, so i shall post them here for anybody who wants them. But before I try submitting them to pixelgirlpresents I think I've gotta convert them to .ico files. Pooon was kind and sent me a link which I have been playing around with :)
Here's a scene,done totally in flash, that's right out of a cartoon am working on right now, done in the style of Joss Agle(SHAG).
Thoughts? Comments?
hey sairimmer, I like the style! It's got kinda a cool fun wacky/whimsical style to it. one minor complaint is on the very right, there's space where all the buildings just stopped... might look better if they continued, but like you said, it's part of a scene, so that probably has a point to it (not having graphics in the last 10 pixels or whatever). :) Instresting and intriguing, it'll be nice to see it when it's finished!
(cool Olly, I just got XP and I didn't know png's were acceptable as icons!) I'll have to download the set!
Here's some other sketches that will be in a futre flash cartoon.Thoughts? Comments?
Hey nice style sairimmer, I've seen it before it's cool :)
The little heads are funky too, though I think the DJ should have rounded headphones not square. :)
I've attached a zip of my icons for anyone who wants them :)
sairimmer, cute "heads"... I'd say if you are gonna go w/ round headphones, then the headphone wire should match.. I think they're cool the way they are, though!
the monacle eyepiece on the big bucks guy could be more centered or something, but they all fit their style fine!
Olly K, I downloaded the zip... now (since I just got XP like 2 weeks ago) I've gotta find out how to make the icons! I tried it but it didn't seem to accept png's... oh wait I've got an idea. I'll figure it out!
Hey thanks for all the great comments and construtive criticism.Now I got to go back to working on the cartoons for those sketches.
I would use the image tag, but toastybuns is running low on space...
arrowpower:
E-Tahn, I don't actually have XP so I don't knoe how to use pngs for icons but I know you definetly can because ages ago there was a thread in the CL where people were using them. I fyou worked out how could you PM me please so that I put instructions on my site? ^_^
Fiddle, nice! His feet look a little wierd being squared off but I like the background and the arrow on his head looks cool :)
K, now I got a piccy to post, but sadly not one of my random creatures:
http://aim2win.bizland.com/okideas/robots1.png
There's a colour for everyone ^_^
Good stuff olly, real smooth. I'm more partial to the orange one.
This one is sort of a clutter of random scraps from my sketchbook...
fiddlestick, some interesting stuff there! I find the arrow power a bit difficult to understand.. it's cool tho, maybe the character could use a bit of shading (even if it is pitch-black shading, it'd look kewl). but oooh teh sketches! I like the guy in the bottom right with the bulging eyes and the + inbetween them... noooiiiiiice shadiing! Very intricate details, too!
OllyK, robot guys are cool, almost look like they're dancing, kinda action-figurey... or going "hey! what/s that on my shoe?" hehehee. I like. I'm still a lil oblivious to XP, and haven't figured out how to use PNG's as icons yet, I've tried various things but haven't succeeded. :(
As for me, I was inspired by a deviant's artwork and I thought I'd try my hand at kinda realism in a painting program. I did 3 drawings this style, but this is the first one, the one that I spent the most time on, and my fav. of the three. so I'll post it. :D
E-tahn, darn ah well I'll work on getting them as .ico files. Great pic tho! I reminds me of my of German ICT teacher (as in he was German and taught ICT :D) really cool.
Fiddle, yeah the orange was my original colour scheme for it and th one I had in my mind when I originally sketched it bt i decided to play with other colours too. I kinda like the blue aswell :).
That's some funky sketching too :D It's so full and there is so much going on it's great! Btw, does that say 'snails' in the middle?
Thanks,
actually it says Smails... which is gibberish... I just wrote it after I messed up on the L in what was suppose to be sleeky.
Edit: Yeah, I know what you mean etahn... I mean, I'm down with the way the left foot (stage left) looks... but the right one just doesn't look right. And yeah, I actually have been thinking about shading it, I'm just trying to devise a way to do it without blending it into the background too much.
Good stuff etahn, it has a nice and smooth aesthetic appeal to it.
This one isn't quite as good... but I still enjoy it plenty's.
hehe thanks guys! glad you like my dude that I drew!
fiddle, (hey btw do u play violin? lol I do)... I like your new sketchy, the glass is nice... lotsa detaily brainy things! hehe. hmmm the bone thing on the bottom right reminds me of my grandma... well, the way the lips are shaped... (she's missing her upper teeth, :eek: ) I like how rounded your characters are, so you can really draw them from any angle you want. It's a nice style! hehe and the 'shroom thing in the bottom left reminds me (sorta) of Mr. Sock or whatever on super smash bros. melee (dunno if they had it on N64's SSB.) :D
well I went to work again last night on a drawing cuz I _HAD_ to draw! Finished him this morning. Name's Leeshak Neilius Finyay, and no, that ain't no piglatin. :p hope you likes.
