So, Steven Axis & the Scrap Urethra is a band, and no, it is not in any way connected to nazi/fascism stuff. As a matter of fact, it is just this one poor fella sitting in his homemade studio, with his homemade crap instruments, desperately trying to get the tunes of his mind into reality.
Right, you guessed it. It's me.
So anyway, it's about time to get my visual style down. I've been trying for quite a while with a sackful of different approaches (including 20's vamp icons, b/w homo erotica and farfetched references to Clockwork orange), but this is the firstÃ,  that I'm really getting attached to, and also the first that doesn't strike me as a ripoff of someone else's ideas.
I'm a sucker for pop-culture mythology, and that is what I try to express here.
The non-showing of the face is meant to be mystifying, intriguing. "Who is that odd retard anyways? Too ugly to show himself?"
I've tried to emulate a visual style that takes elements from both the 50's, 60's and 70's, in order to give it an obviousely old, but also undefinable and "timeless" attitude.
I've tried to make it look like a photo of an actual old and tattered LP (duh) in order to... erm... bad english here... bring forth the illusion that this is allready an established thing, not something still in the cradle. Also, I work against the need of bling bling and flash. Stuff isn't bad just because it doesn't shine. Therefore I dress like a hobo and play my music on crap.
The sticker is also just another tool to bring it an air of mystery. It's lying of course. There is no hit single. The song "wooden kimono" isn't even recorded yet.
So, in summary, I try to be mysterious and interesting. I try to give it all an old,Ã,  almost mythical feel, as if you would stumble upon an ancient tale you hadn't heard.
Sorry this got very long...
btw, this project is non-profitable.


So what do you think?Ã, 





also, if anyone skilled in the french language is here, I would very VERY much enjoy an explanation of the phrase "mort aux vaches". =)

This is my smalltime crook and (not very heroic nor noble) hero:
Jimmy Slicks
He's supposed to be a stereotypic small criminal with a big mouth (complete with brooklyn accent). You know- cocky bragging sorta guy that spends every nickle he cheats himself to on the tracks. Heavy drinker, wannabe gangster and intellectual. Believes in the outdated principles of hot wheels, rock n' roll and treating women like trash.

I am rather pleased with the outcome, but I figured that someone might have a dot for the top, so to speak. Bonus points if you figure out whom I looked at drawing him.





I based the cycle on the one from the tutorial at:

Well, whatcha think? Being my first walkcycle ever

Hi!
I'm very sorry if this has it's own thread somewhere in the distant past. Anyhow-
When I try to bring up my inventory in-game, it crashes and gives me the message:

"Error: InventoryScreen: one or more of the inventory screen graphics have been deleted"

I am a complete newbie and have no understanding whatsoever of scripting.

The inventory itself is supposed to be a rip (only with new images and no arrows) from the default game you get when downloading AGS.

Thanks.
