 I'm back to dabbling in game making and have some character concepts to share with the fine people here. Right now these are pencil drawings(one I went over with an ink pen thingie though) and just ideas, I haven't even really decided on the style I want to use, whether it's something more realistic or a manga/anime style.

Anyways here's what I have done up until now:

This one is the main antagonist(a vampire)

These are just same random practice portraits for face shapes and stuff.


These 2 are of the main protagonist (2 versions, an older more realistic one and a younger one in a manga/anime style)


These 2 are just some random drawings I did to practice the manga/anime style.

So next up is finally choosing a style and then to also learn pixel art to make the character sprites and stuff.

 Here are some of my first attempts at digital art(got myself a tablet for christmas, but I haven't used it much because up until recently)


Critique and opinions are welcome.

I'm trying to choose between a sci-fi and fantasy setting for a story I'm writing, but I can't decide. Because I like both, and actually some of the characters I have made are suitable for both settings. So I'd like to know what do you think. Which setting do you find more interesting and why?

My first game I have ever made with AGS. I'm making it for a competition on another site.

STORY

You are a vampire hunter called to a small village where there have been mysterious murders and the villagers believe it's a vampire behind the murders.

SCREENSHOTS

All the graphics you see here are placeholders. I plan on finishing the gameplay and puzzles work and then when i have time left I'll make new backgrounds and character sprites.








PROGRESS

Story: 100%
Scripting: 80%
Graphics: 70%
Sound/Music: 0%

The game won 1st place on the competition.

 So I'd like some help with choosing my first programming language. I'm choosing between C# and Python. Also as some of you might know I already have 2 C# programming books, but I was dissapointed in these because they aren't actually meant for beginners who have no programming experience. So I thought that maybe I should continue with C# and simply find myself some beginners tutorials, even though there is a small problem with C# namely the fact that I can't use the newest version of Visual Studio because my computer still has wimdows XP. Also I did find 2 free e-books for Python that are for beginners( for children actually, but most children are beginners. I think?). So any advice on this is welcome(even if you suggest a completely different programming language).

So I have 2 C# programming books for sale (The books are too difficult for me) : Visual C# Game Programming For Teens by Jonathan S.Harbour and C# Game Programming For Serious Game Creation by Daniel Schuller. So if anyone is interested let me know.
