Hi guys!

I have a quick question and hope someone here can help me out. I'm trying to code a keyboard GUI for my game. The main platform should be Android, which is why I want to include the keyboard as a GUI.
Now, there's a function called ProcessClick. Is there something similar for the buttons of the keyboard? If the player clicks on the letter Q on my GUI, the game should emulate the button press on the keyboard.

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much
Kai

Hi guys,
I didn't post a lot here in the past weeks. One reason was, that people kept saying: "Looks nice, but try not to stick to the reference too much!" and "Just paining the reference isn't art!".
So I took my time and tried myself on some paintings without any references. I'd be happy about any kind of feedback!

Here's my current piece "The Dark King":



The contrast is low by purpose to create a certain look, it's nothing wrong with my screen .

The proportions might be a bit off, but that happens when you work with nothing but your imagination, I guess.

Cheers!

Hi!

I just finished (?) a portrait and try to get as many opinions about it as I can get:



It's Clint Eastwood, starring in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"

I did this in Photoshop, using my Wacom Bamboo Tablet. It took about 3 hours...

What do you think?

Cheers!

Okay, here's the next round of the Colouring Ball!

The rules are simple:

• do not paint over the outline, stay inside of it
  
• flip or rotate the form as you want, but don't change it any further
  
• the palette is not restricted, but keep it Pixel-Art this time
  
• have fun
  
  Here's the shape:
  
  
  
  And no, it's not the second biggest monkey head outline you've ever seen.
  
  Oh, and there will be nice trophies! So enter! NOW!

Hey folks, I always got helpful advice from you here, so I think it's worth a try.

I did this Poster for my Indiana Jones fangame (the demo, to be exact) the other day and just wanted to know what you think. Some might remember that Indy, I posted him here some time ago.
Is the composition alright? To empty? Etcetera.

 

Thank you!

Hey, it's me again.

I have a popup inventory, and when I press the right button of my mouse (no matter where on the inventory screen, if over inventory items or not) the inventory is supposed to be closed.
However, clicks on the inventory on places where no items are (on the empty spots) are not handled by eMouseRight and not with eMouseRightInv.
So my inventory only closes right now, when I right-click any item...

Is there any thing I can do about it?

Thanks!

Hi! I want my game to run turn around animations before the character starts to walk. Not just the turn before walking, because animations would be much smoother. Also, while walking and changing direction I want to play that animation, too. Is there a simple way to do that? Thanks!

Heya,
it's me presenting my first serious attempt of coding: a fully working LOOM GUI. It took quite a long time for me (as a beginner), but it now work exactly like the on from the LucasArts game. I'll release the thing soon(with a documentation of how to use), just wanted to get some feedback before I do.

There are a few things you can do...you might start by spelling "eced" on the clam...to get all other notes on the GUI.

Hey .
It's kinda hard to get constructive criticism at deviantART, when people don't know you (and you don't do some 13-year-old-pseudo-manga-drawings).
But I always got good c&c here, so I hope you won't disappoint me .



This was started as a test with some nice new brushes I found. It took me maybe 1.5 hours - 2 hours. It's supposed to be the head of a bald eagle, I plan to add a lions body...or something fancy. Most detail-work was spend on the eye and the face...the rest of the head is still kinda sketchy, because I was lazy.
Photo-reference of course, just goolge for bald eagle and you'll see.

Leave some c&c, if you want! Thanks!

Hey,

I am currently trying to find a good portrait style for low-res adventures. I did the portrait itself on a higher resolution and restricted the size and colours afterwards. Does it look OK for a game already? Or would I need to edit the picture a bit more?

Oh, here's the picture, btw:



You also can give me C&C on the portrait itself, of course.

Thanks, Kaio

I don't like the "new" look of Guybrush (and with "new" I mean ever since Monkey Island 3). The Monkey Island 2 version is by far the best, imho. To protest against Monkey Island 3, 4 and the new Tales, I did this sketch:



I'll colour it later, maybe.
Tell me what you think if you want.

edit: now with colours, too:

Hi everyone!
I am currently coding my LOOM-template, which I will release sometime near in the future. I'm almost done, the gui works just like the original one from the game. I played the game for several times, but somehow my savegames are gone. I don't have the time right now for playing it all again, so if someone has a LOOM VGA (Talkie) savegame for ScummVM from near end of the game, I would be very pleased . All the notes should be available in the savegame. That would be awesome. Thanks!

I continued my "Star-Wars-for-a-lifetime-project" and it turned out to be fun. A lot of stuff has been done lately . Now I summon all of you Star Wars Fans here on this board to give me criticism about this sprite: Jango Fett.





I did him once with and once without jet pack, because it turned out kinda odd, imho. Feel free to c&c!

Hey folks, I did some Jedi sprites for my wip Star Wars game some time ago (also got it animated already) and was wondering about the colours. I just played FoA lately and realized, that the colours are much stronger. Please tell me what you think about it:

Thanks

btw, he's supposed to look a bit goofy. I hope I got that right, too.

Hi dear Critics Lounge

I need help on creating this female character for my game. I did alot of redrawings, but I'm not satisfied with the result at all.



She looks kinda dump lol. I would be thankfull for every kind of advice how to improve her (especially paintovers )

thanks, kaio

I don't get tired of putting my Indiana Jones Artwork here . I revised my Indy walkcycle completely. Here's the old one again:


and here's V 2.0:


I redid almost everything. Added shading to the pants, for example...
I would welcome every kind of critique or comments!

Heya!

Hi all! I did a little Newspaper-Sprite for the news-section of the Secret of Pandora Indiana Jones page. I just wanted to get some constructive critism about it .
Here it is:


Also check http://secretofpandora.org/pandora/index.php?cat=02&l=eng for the animated version (which I didn't post here, because it consists of 2 layers and I was to lazy to add both to one animation )

greetz, kaio

I just got that cool painting pad for pc as a birthday-present and started messing around with it. I'll share my first steps of digital painting here with you all . It's not finished, but I thougt I might get some comments and critcs on it though, so I could change some things while finishing it:



It took maybe 3 hours of work... As I said, I'm a complete noob, I just got this pad unwrapped for a few hours. It's been done with photoshop, of course. What do you think?

Hi all!
I'm doing this Star Wars P'n'C as a long therm project. For the graphics, I'm going in the classical direction...320x200. I don't know which way I'm going story-wise... but I think I might just retell Episode I. Anyways, here's a background I was working on, the Jedi Council, Coruscant. Background is animated. Some comments and critics would be sweet. 




btw, I hate the fact that firefox 3 blurs the strechet images...Is there any way to avoid that?
