and how many N00bs do we have that this is even necessary?

We already have stickies above every forum telling you how to act. We don't get a lot of jerky people here who don't know how the forums work and if we do they usually get adopted by the community as people tell them how it all works.

And as an ironic side, your signature image is too large for the restrictions in the rules, check the text above the box you inputed your sig file into.

Shut up, cut his mic, I don't want to dress Squinky down anymore...

I think a good way to learn line variation is to hit up some old Donald Duck comics or something like that.

The style is totally different of course but the exaggeration of line variation might help you understand, here are some covers but I'll dig up my samples when I get home:

Note the bit under the foot and his eyebrows, along with his belly in the Pizzaro one.

If you're doing line variation with a pen and drawing in the thickness afterwards, you'll notice that if you move onto a nib or a brush [I'd recommend a nib first] that the line variation becomes somewhat natural or at least much easier.

However learning to use a dip pen is a whole other ball of wax.

Loominous:

I'm sorry if you read my post as confrontational, it wasn't ment that way. I was just stating an opinion on the original art. I thought we were all friends on this forum until proven guilty.

I apologize if because it was directed at you, you took it as an insult or something but it was really a general comment.

How about this then:

I personally feel that because of the setting and taking the character into account, the face is fine. The character doesn't live a happy life I imagine and the face adds character.

My comment was to point out that when drawing something, taking the whole image into consideration changes how each part is rendered and for me the face is fine.

Squinky can take what I wrote to you and like it or not just like he can take other crit and do the same.

I was just making a comment, if you think my comment was useless then I see your point 5 as pointless flame bait.

So thanks for the insult.

edit:

also, I don't know why you chose to respond to my post and call it useless when there are tons of posts in other threads of people saying your edit is better than the original and how awesome your edit is and eye popping smileys. I think those are more useless than a post from someone who thought he could have a friendly chat. Oh well.

personally I would have a hard time buying your edit, loominous, from the setting she's in and the clothes she's wearing and all that I wouldn't really buy a pretty face on her neck. Especially one as emotionless as the one you drew, but obviously it's just an edit and you probably did it up quick, just wanted to say.

Oh man, LGM doesn't remember that awesome party he threw at his house last week!

Man it was a corker! I puked in your fridge!

Farlander, even if you weren't acting like a mod, leave the person alone.

You don't like the thread, don't post in it. You don't like the person, don't attack him. Moderators will handle things.

If you read through Fluke's post history you'll see that he doesn't constantly post useless stuff or 1 word posts or emoticon posts. Admit that if this was Evil or LGM [man, imagine LGM with ANOTHER growth spurt!] who started this thread you wouldn't have jumped on him saying that he was a pisser and useless.

the internet will teach you!

Don't post on the forums drunk. You're not helping.

What if I got married and then decided to have a vivisection, without telling my wife.

I just want to jump in and say, Mills, if you go out and get a vivisection, I hope you'd tell more people than your wife!

photocopy the pencils or trace it onto another sheet of paper with a light box or against a window. Then practice practice practice.

I think you have to figure out how the line variation works in real life then you can apply it to vectors, because so much just happens when using a brush or pen and it's so much quicker tha tweaking nodes in Illustrator.

Ow awful.

I wish I was a moderator so I could lock this thread, unlock and lock again. And maybe repeat.

Can no one read?

3. If you're not a moderator, don't pretend to be one. If a thread needs to be moved or locked, the moderators will deal with it.

And sorry Farlander, but that goes for you too, you can ask for people not to say it but it's true. You don't like his posts, don't read it.

It's just AGS Gen Gen.

Flukeblake, because other people can't handle themselves properly when you post is no reason to leave. If this thread was brought up by anyone else people wouldn't have gone crazy on them so just forget about it.

Congrats on your growth spurt, let's just hope the spurt stops soon or you'll collapse under the weight of your own bones!

Heh... You people and your wishes to be taller...

Amusing and at the same time... POINTLESS!

GIVE UP!

1. Is your post interesting, helpful or funny? If not, don't post it.

One word posts don't cut it, sorry.

As for your theory... I think the main question I have is, if there is this unknown material in the air, why is it conscious and "disturbing" the males in the house?

And why do animals always get attributed with psychic abilities?

I'm sure the Nazis had tons of dogs that roamed around concentration camps or in the showers and they never turned tail and wouldn't go in, if any place should be "haunted" you'd think it would be those places.

sorry, had too!

Finally, I believe I have squashed every known bug and added a song generously donated by Mr. Adam "Darkstalkey" Hay

Enjoy! and if you find any bugs, please post them in the Completed Games thread I'll be making in a few moments!

If anyone likes doing sound effects and would like to make some for the last part of the game, contact me! Or better yet, wait for the Completed Games thread.

Well, I suppose it's October 30th! Or at least close enough!

However, no matter how much I make love to my Jello, it will never get pregnant...

- Resolution: I know I want 32 bit color, and high resolution. But is 800x600 worth it? I get 100+ frames per second on my computer, but what about older ones?


Can you do art that needs that high of a resolution?

That's really the only question I think I can answer that isn't personal.
