The "Create an installation program for your game" was one of my old tutorials from way back in the day. I found it and put it back online and found that it was a tad outdated. I will hopefully create a new one in the future, but here you go anyways.

[Bastos]

Hey everybody, about a year ago, i made some images based upon screenshots from LSL3.
I recently got back to them and i made a small tutorial on how i created them.

I hope it can be of some use....

For facial expressions, came across this interesting web-based app:
Artnatomia
Useful for seeing layers of muscle and skull in varying opacities as well as showing more basic common facial expressions.  Even if not useful in specifics, reproduction would make an excellent drawing lesson.

maybe we should critizise the tutorial...??

Here is a tutorial for how to do sky's in your backgrounds with photoshop. It pretty much sucks because it's by yours truely but It is simple, short, and to the point. Read and learn n00bs.

Here's a pixel art tutorial I found while browsing around the net by a Derek Yu:

Scummbuddy, thanks! Looks quite helpful.

By the way, I have been going through the links in this tutorial for my own personal use, sorting them into categories and removing broken links and whatnot. At least half of the links are broken. Would it be appreciated if I posted a list of the reorganized links here on the AGS boards?


Edit 5/8/06 - I am done going through the links and I am just sorting them now. I'll have it done soon

[MashPotato]

I think that would be very helpful.  Thanks! ^_^

Lots of useful stuff here; theories on puzzles, everything...

Bill Tiller, the guy who did backgrounds in CMI, wrote this about how he did them. VERY good read for anyone interested in any kind of art, not just art to do with games.

http://website.lineone.net/~john.montgomery/howtodrawmonkeys.html

Much like the first site; lots of theories on game design, puzzle design, anything...

An interview with Bill Tiller; more stuff about his style and some nice pictures.

That's about it; hope it helps someone!

There is a new tutorial available on the FoY-page since today. I wrote it and it discusses the creation of a PARTICLE-SYSTEM with AGS - also it gives you lots of information about programming with AGS and coding in general. Check it out if you're interested!


I hope it's okay to post "non-art related" tutorials here, but there are other tutorials around in this thread that talk about creating installers etc., so I thought it couldn't hurt!

Not sure how helpful this is, but I posted a few general drawing videos to my blog.

Link to video 1.

Link to video 2.

Link to video 3.

I intend to take videos of a lot of the things I draw from here on out. Might be of some use?

Site revamped tuts need to be reloaded, sorry for inconvenience.

[Meowster]

The first page of this thread should probably be edited 'cause none of the links work anymore
