I'm flattered but spoken for. Sorry, Norway.

Speaking as a Norwegian; I don't care. Sorry... Canada!

Mordalles--Very atmospheric graphics.Ã,Â So the game's going to be a lighthearted comedy, right? ;)Ã,Â

lighthearted comedy is the last thing you'll think off when playing the game. 8)

man, that sprite of yours looks awesome! now that is one game i would like to play.

Well, I've thought about it, and I thought I ought to release something.
After some thinking about it, I've decided that my game just isn't complete enough to reveal too much of now. So I'll just release my favorite part so far-an animation of the main character swallowing a fish!

-From my adventure game, "Since You've Been Gone"

Awesome work Dan!

That sprite is amazing Alun. I sent you a PM regarding Kludden, yes it is done in AGS

EDIT: I forgot to say, Rui that's really cool!

I didn't really plan anything, so I didn't do anything special.

Here's some concept art, anyhow:
First version of the room background from Tomb of the Moon
Some design for the Tomb of the Moon prequel.

ooh, I loved Largopredator's trailer! :o
One suggestion though - Eric's walkcycle is getting soooo old... not that it was a bad one, but simply heavily overused for now. I suggest making a thread in CL or seduce Progzmax to make you a fresher one

And scotch' bg... *shudders* well, I really hate this thread, it makes me feel weak. Everybody's so masterful nowadays...

Heh, yeah. But without them it'd probably look horrible, I'm by no means an animation wizard.

*orders a book on seduction*

I'll also make note to convert any forthcoming clips and such to mpg. I realised when I wanted to show it to someone without Divx it could be a problem. But I've got so many convertors I can change pretty much anything into everything.

I think it's safe to say this edition of Release Something is a great success. There's so many wonderful things in here! Thnx to Kinoko for setting this up once again(even if it was a borrowed idea). It was...inspiring.

I think you could do better than that ridiculous old thing. Watching your video reminded me of the ministry of silly walks.
No offence Eric! (Oops!)

The resemblance is uncanny!

Corey · Wed 15/02/2006 15:40:32

Hey, that's a really cool piece of work with the question mark background and all.
You really took pains to show Corey up.

Edited by mod: Please don't quote large images.

voh · Wed 15/02/2006 17:13:15

Yeah, pressing ? like 50 times with 3 enters in between was amazingly hard work

You dont practise by recolouring someone elses work. Instead, try and look what he did, and make your own version. I really recommend you to try and make some of your own works of art

DanClarke · Wed 15/02/2006 20:00:55

not strictly game related, but for a project I'm working on atm, these are capsule toys:

dont shout at me for going twice lol.

EDIT: New one.

Sure, but I think the backgorund is quite decadent.

voh · Wed 15/02/2006 22:11:19

I'm sorry my interior decoraring skills are disappointing you, Thomas. Didn't you know that the Dutch are very decadent people anyway? I am physically unable to make anything that ISN'T decadent

Kinoko · Thu 16/02/2006 02:08:31

Dan, I love the style of your images so much it makes me want to cry. Have you ever come across a game called Homeland? The style really reminds me of that and I bought that game based on art style alone ^_^

ildu · Thu 16/02/2006 16:33:59

Dan, I've always wanted to know how to create acrylic-looking digital paintings without doing it all by hand in detail. How do you create that kind of finish? Mind sharing any techniques, brushes, filters, etc.

? The images look wonderful.

DanClarke · Thu 16/02/2006 19:18:22

I use the photoshop 'round rough bristle brush' with various sizes starting with a flat colour and then varying the size and opacity and avoidiing any extremeties in colours sticking to pastels. No filters used! Just been trying to think of lighting things in different ways for these to make them appear more interesting.
