Exactly. However there are cases where having a baby risks the life of the mother. In those cases it's acceptable.

But anyway, this is not the topic. Like what everyone said, if she has an abortion then her husband should know. I'm not sure whether she should be forced to tell him, but I lean closer to no.
#482
that's a good question, but I think abortions shouldn't be happening in the first place.

Well, either way, I think there's something to all this ghost stuff, as there's just so many strange unexplained things out there that we may not fully understand or be able to prove or disprove with science or logic.
Maybe true, but what makes me more skeptic (or is it with k?) is that nothing "strange" hads ever happened to me. I consider myself rather open minded but still...

I had a lot of dreams that were just weird. Some of them even showed me things that happened the next day or during the next week. I understand that it could be just a series of coincidences. But still...

This is interesting, but I think that trying to see ghosts with the spectrum of the hydrogen atom is like trying to see God with a telescope.

No you aren't wrong, but I want to add that you have to draw them on a transparent background and save them as png.
#486
That sounds cool. It's funny and happy, but I don't know what you mean by uncontrolled.

What is the strange noises that sound like water in the background?

Very nice! When it comes to architecture, It's great and detailed. I don't like the texture of the church though, not just because it's gridy. The building on the back looks flat. Also, the one in front of it looks like it's made out of plastic for a weird reason.

I don't know... The only gifts I made to girls are: a cute stuffed toy (lamb), drawings (not freaky like those in CL) and a song. I'm terrible at choosing gifts.

Thanks everyone for your comments ;D

Those tutorials show how much I have to learn. To me the hardest part is the legs, I rarely do them right.

Those tutorials are definately going to come in handy. My drawings look like bloody cartoons and I want them to be a bit more realistic.
#491
Thanks for your input ^.^

Yeah, I drew these in school. Obviously I'm usually too lazy to do anything other than draw, compose or write.

I guess they do represent me if you except the blood - I want to puke when I see actual blood and stuff, but not at all if I know it's fake.

As for a game with this type of graphics, I thought a 3d engine that renders graphics emulating this style (something like cel-shading) would do that. Unfortunately I'm not nearly skilled enough.

Finally, I got a scanner!

Here is some of my art. I drew a lot of other things but I can't find them. These are my favourite ones though. They all look better (and the colors more vivid, especially the blood and the fires) on the actual paper. They're freaky, yeah, but they show what I feel when I'm lonely or depressed. Oh, and I'm not a satanist, but a lot of people claim so when they see my drawings.


This is one of my rare kinda cheery drawings. It's a donkey-ish animal I made for fun, I called her Marina because her eyes remind me of a girl called Marina.


I called this as "The House of Mutated Pumpkins". It doesn't mean anything, it's just a random thing I drew.



In this page you can see the frog-human-demon Vortagos who's eating my arm. You can also see that strange winged creature who is supposed to represent my guilts. The other drawings don't mean anything except the burning dude who is supposed to be for that poem I wrote on the left. Viva la cheesiness!


This is Peter, a walking plant with eyes! Isn't he adorable?


This is called "My precious misery". It's the latest one I've drawn so far (I drew it yesterday), but it didn't come out good at all. I should have made him kneel or something. It's supposed to be a symbolical drawing of someoneÃ,  who holds tight whatever he thinks its precious to him, but in reality what he holds is what makes him bleed. Bleh.


These were drawn in the beginning of this school year. They don't mean anything, they're just drawings. The one on the top right is supposed to be a joke. I asked some guy called Andrew what to draw next and he told me "I don't know, my brain is dead at the moment". So I drew his brain being recharged.


This contains a drawing of a girl in my school that I find way too cute (even though it doesn't really look like her all; and yeah, I do know that her eyes look like testicles. That was not intented, but I did want them to look weird). It also contains another symbolic drawing (the guy who's kneeling; people take it as satanic, even though it's supposed to be the opposite).

(zoomed versions of the girl and kneeling man are here and here)

So, what do you think of it? I'm not asking much for a theme critic, but for a technique critic. I use a lot of different pens, a yellow highlighter and some pencil too. I make mistakes that most times can't be fixed because once the pen gets there it can't get out. Maybe in the future I'll try to optimize my drawings with photoshop, or I'll get a tablet to draw instead.

I know the shading is wrong, but I wasn't trying to make it correct.

So is there anything I could do for my future drawings? I can't edit the ones I have obviously, because they're on paper. But what do do that's wrong and needs to change?

Finally, I thought that maybe a game with graphics following this style could be a good idea. Maybe the blue stripes will be visible in all backgounds too to give a sketchy look. Obviously, AGS won't be able to handle this idea right because this would abuse the alpha-channelling. But this is only an idea, I don't plan making any game anytime soon.

I've seen a lot of jokes like this before, so I expected it to happen. But it still scared me to hell.
#494
I prefer .rar. Assuming that I have completed games, I consider anyone who does not know how to get the game out of the .rar archive as unworthy to play them.

I don't mind self-extracters, I always right click on them and select "run with win-zip" or whatever.
#495
Yeah, it's irritating when there's a simple solution and you just have to go all the way round.

I also hate giving too much emphasis on the graphics, I'd be so happier if they just stopped at the graphics of RTCW. Does it really have to get better than that?

I even hate it when they take away all your weapons and ammo. Especially when you were economising. And especially when after defeating a whole army, two guys with pistols just happen to arrest you as though you couldn't take them down like all the rest.

Another thing I can think of right now is unbalance between realism and unrealism, or being realistic only for the sake of being realistic. Games are about fun, if I wanted realism I'd go to an actual war.

And finally, plain illogical things that are there only to make the game bigger than it really is, but all they do is irritate the player. For example, in Tomb Raider Angel Of Darkness (does this even classify as a game :P?) you can't push block X because you aren't strong enough, but then you push a Y crate and you magically become strong enough to push block X.

And I thought that Atkins dude (someone who has something against rock music, especially christian rock music) was worse.

QuoteAs these scum wish me their worst, I will continue to try to do my utmost for His highest.
I personally believe that all His highest wants him to do is to shut up and stop giving a bad name to Christians.
#497
I actually like the first version wayyy more. The shading of the second is not correct at all, in one of the pictures he looks as though he's having multiple legs. You could just use a simple two coloured shading and it would look great.
#498
wow that sounds too bizarre :o

I get called a satanist a lot because of my art and music, but most of the time it's a joke and I play along. But I never thought it could be that bad.

There are a lot of bastards everywhere, you don't have to kill people to become one.

The Doom 3 soundtrack is great. Also, Duke Nukem's theme is nice (by Megadeth)

Ahhhh you suck! :P

Btw, what did you think of the drums?
