Disco, what have I told you about whoring out your sister to ags nerds.
#663
Looks nice, but...

The shadows on the wall and floor have aa, whilst the rest of the bg does not. It's not consistant, but easily fixed if you are using layers.

Oh, and one thing I'd like to point out. DO THE AA think they are better than JESUS.

Oh no -_- not that again. At this point I might actually sypmathise with the AA  :D

Hahaha. Sorry Disco, little dig. It's my argument for everything.

As for shbaz, in the UK, the opposite is true, it doesnt need to be a special occasion for employers/employees or groups to go to the pub reguarly. It's actively encourage.

Yesp, his head is too far to the left. To be honest to me it still looks rushed, and I know I could do better.

And no it's not Dott style. It's somewhat cartoony and stylised, with a little exaggeration thrown in. Nothing to do with DOTT. Anyone ever posts a somewhat cartoony sprite and all the silly people go, ooh dott style, I like!! It's not dott style. Most things aren't dott style. get over it.

And I won't be animating it. I can do better than this, and this isn't even for a project.

Thanks everyone.

A maybe. A probably maybe, but I have to look into my finances to see if it is do-able (to do both brittens and mittens)

Working in a pub I have had experiences with many types of Drinkers. There is no way one could define a person by how much they drink or how many days a week they drink or if they drink in a social environment by themselves or with friends as an alcoholic.

The way I see it is that if you are drunk every waking hour you have an alcohol problem.

If you crave alcohol, you might be depressed, or you might be an alcoholic. (self-medicating)

If you drink on your own, you might be depressed because you have no friends, you might like your own company more than others, or you might be an alcoholic.

If you binge drink you are either between 15-30 years old or you are depressed or you might be an alcoholic.

If you drink at home on your own, there is no problem, every likes a quiet drink. Or you might be an alcohlic.

There is no real definition of what an alcoholic is. I guess if you choose to drink an alcoholic beverage you aren't. If you have no self-control, then you are.

I don't really see binge drinking as an issue. If we all followed the recommended drinking allowance, no one would bother drinking!

Drinking is a poison yes. But it has been around for thousands of years.

Oh, and one thing I'd like to point out. DO THE AA think they are better than JESUS. He was a bit of a wino. He could turn water into the stuff, and not through a long fermentation period using grapes!

The AA should remove all references to jesus and religion out of their texts to give impartial advice, not biased by the lies of god. Even though Jesus could turn water into wine. Which is a neat trick.

Ice Cold Fosters!!! Take that away, you will take his power!!!

Thats a lie. His achilles heel is hi middle name. Anyone who utters that name will have complete power. That is why he keeps it secret, and only those who sneakily look at his passport at mittens know it!

Critics' Lounge / 'hi-res' sprite attempt
Fri 11/01/2008 01:53:52
Hi, I'm Layabout.



His name is Edgar Halthawne. He has a claw for his left hand. I need help.

What do you think of the style? What do you think of it???

Please tell me, I need the attention! I need love!

His right arm needs attention, but it's just supposed to be hanging there rather limp, it is not his 'strong' arm.
#674
Basically I see a few problems with him. The first is his feet. at least one needs to be on the ground at all times. If you are going to use slight perspective Draw a 'touching' line for each of his feet.

Secondly. He is far too Static. His feet do not arch when his is lifting off from the ground. His shoulders and upper body are static. His arms are funny shaped as well. No defined elbow. the best way to do this is make sure you are using a stickman with balls (for joints you sicko!!) to define his movements.

There is little wrong with the leg movements, although he could move his hips a little more.

The human body is a balancing act in theory, left arm and shoulders counteract the right leg and hips etc.

Ooh, yeah perspective is out, which others have mentioned.

And he is not centre. Stickmen will fix this.

Stickmen are your friends.

As for the second, the arms are wacky. Too thin are the forearms and the upper arm is far too short.

Stickmen and proportions!

As for height the same, its a bad idea, since when both feet/legs are outstreched, the height is reduced...

I could only watch the matrix once. Never a repeat viewing. I tried once, but my brain started to rumble. I've heard of the Explosive brain syndrome that comes from watching really bad science fiction with really bad acting. I proply turned it off.
#677
Is anyone as confused as I am?

This smells worse than the time m0ds thought it would be a fun idea to explore a storm water drain. Which turned out to be a sewer.

I personally prefer 320x200 as i have a laptop with the aforementioned 16:10 ratio. 320x240 just looks a bit stretched.

Merry f**king christmas you bastards!!! :p

Happy joy super fun time for all!

I hope the fat man in the red suit brings you what you want.

Actually, 5 rules are excessive, and personally I do understand loominous' questioning. Most people will still submit 320x2xx art, so it seems somewhat unfair to impose such a restriction limiting those who prefer to dabble in the higher resolutions.

It seems to me you are trying to restrict the 'better' artists from entering this 'mockup', which is undoubtably unfair. After all, it's not just about the art, its the concept and the visualisation that plays a part in these contests. And it is all a bit of fun.

Why restrict those who prefer the higher pixels?

I know with things like sprite jam, there is always a set amount of pixels, but if you are asking for a background/mockup, why restrict?

I am so the oldbie around here, and I don't think it is fair! Share the love, It is christmas, Let people have their fun. There is much restriction in this world! Don't let this place be as such!

And i'm sorry to clog up this thread, as I know it is a contest, but I too think it is discriminating. Brussells would frown upon this thread. :p

And I rant no longer.
