The arms are supposed to move in all frames, not just a couple of frames during the whole animation. I think...

Well, time for my two cents.

Regarding Snape:

Spoiler

I don't know what to think at this point. The whole killing Dumbledore on his orders idea seems plausible, but I just don't know.Ã,  The one thing nobody seems to have mentioned that stuck out in particular for me that makes him more likely to be still on the side of good is that he didn't tell any of the Death Eaters about his private lessons with Harry in OotP. I guess them knowing that he had done that wouldn't be too good for Snape...but we'll see what happens!

yeah, but..

Spoiler

we still don't know if Snape wasn't actually trying to weaken Harry's mind, like what Ron suspected in the previous book.

The side view is probably the best thing you've drawn so far, well done!

Side view:
- A common mistake people make is put the eyes higher. They should be about the vertical middle of the head. I lowered them a bit
- There's something wrong with the legs. The back leg should be barely visible if he's just standing, and it looks as though the back leg is longer than the front leg (it's a pixel longer and since it's in the back it looks very weird). I removed the back leg and fixed the front leg a bit.
- The butt looked weird, it's supposed to go along the legs. I fixed it a bit.
- I fixed the arm, somehow it looked like the shoulder was too low

The front view:
- Again the eyes are wrong, but I haven't fixed them.
- The biggest problem is the lack of uniformity (or whatever the word is). The head is not between the shoulders, the legs move kinda to the left, the belt badge is not in the middle of the belt, the left (his left) arm is longer. I drew light blue and light green lines to show you more how it should be (note that these are just quick lines, they're not correct at all so don't just draw over them; they're there only so you get the idea). Try copying body parts and then flipping them horizontally, then edit them a bit if you like.
- Another big problem (almost as bad as the previous one) is that the front view is way different than the side view when it comes to the position of body parts. Whenever you want to draw different views, draw horizontal lines. Everything should be on the same height as the left view. What's sticking out the most is the feet.
- His stomach muscles and breasts were too low. I drew some quick muscles to show a better location. I dunno how stomach muscles are supposed to look like, but neither yours or mine are correct.

OMG she has a butt for b00bs!

It looked like a stool, but it wasn't a stool:


That was no ordinary beer:


Don't eat that, CJ, it looks poisonous!


AGSers weren't the only species who attended Brittens. Someone else was also at the campsite....:


...but he thought Dave wouldn't make a good trophy, so he chose someone else instead:

Don't you mean "Philopeda's"??

Anyway, moving on

I didn't say JK Rowling is the best author ever, but there's simply nothing wrong with the books. The plot is simply amazing, with lots of unexpected twists and everything. And I love the style. Fred and George crack me up

As for the Snape theory, I have some new evidence a friend of mine gave me

Spoiler

Someone told me that Snape was in the fake moody's foe glass.
in chapter 19, Hagrid tells the HRH gang that Dumbledore was angry about Snape not following orders. >>>I jus' heard Snape sayin' Dumbledore took too much fer granted an' maybe he -- Snape -- didn' want to do it anymore" ... "Dumbledore told him flat out he'd agreed ter do it an' that was all there was to it. Pretty firm with him. AND THEN he said summat abou' Snape makin' investigations in his House, in Slytherin"<<<. When I first read that I assumed that Dumbledore was angry because Snape wouldn't check Malfoy, but it seems like it was two different topics. So there's a possibility that the orders were to kill Dumbledore. Maybe Dumbledore thought that he was getting way too old anyways (Rowling said she pictures him around 150 years old ), and since Snape is a very powerful wizard (good or evil still a butthole, but always powerful) he thought that if Snape gained Voldemort's trust he'd be more valuable than Dumbledore"

So I dunno what to believe, there's evidence about both ways. I'm dying to finally know, I hate it how she releases one book to find myself waiting for the next one even more than I waited for the previous one.

I was thinking of drawing Bush yelling 'FREE GROG!'

As LeChuck shouted in Monkey Island 4

But, forget it you know.

Reminds me one of my early photoshops

Not an entry of course

This is indeed awesome, Kinoko

I have noticed that 95% of the people who bash Harry Potter are those who haven't even read the books. 4% of the rest claim that Harry Potter is the Antichrist.

But anyways, as for the theories:

Spoiler

I did think about Snape being a good guy after all. Let's not forget that he did warn the Order in the last book when Harry told him "he's got Padfoot", but maybe he did that under Vol... *gasp* you-know-who's orders. I don't think the only reason he killed Dumbledore was the unbreakable vow, because he knows that Dumbledore is more way more important than he is. If he was a good guy after all, he would sacrifice himself for Dumbledore. Potch's theory is good, that maybe Snape murdered Dumbledore under his orders. But then again, it says that Dumbledore was pleading and that Snape "gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, and there was revulsion and hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face." Which probably means that Snape is a butthole.

I read it. I didn't manage to get it from a bookstore yet but I downloaded it off limewire (it was hard with all the spoofs and jokes pretending they're the real one). Of course I'm gonna buy it, but I just couldn't wait to get it.

This book kinda escapes from the pattern of the previous book, cause this time we know something Harry doesn't and it explains a lot of things. Also,

Spoiler

this time Harry's suspicions were mostly correct, unlike previous books

[close]

One thing I didn't like was that it was more predictable than it should be

Spoiler

I knew Dumbledore was gonna die, that Malfoy was given the task to murder him (or Harry, but I was wrong), that Snape (or Voldemort, but I was wrong about this again) was the Half-Blood Prince, that Ron and Hermione will have a crush for each other and that Harry Potter was going to fall in love with Ginny

We don't have gangsta wannabes here, fortunately... And I find the GTA series hilarious. I wouldn't mind if GTA stayed the same and only gave a new different city with different missions.

For the next GTA I hope they use the atmosphere of GTA 2 because I really loved that one.

They look amazing, like what anyone else said.

A good idea to enhance the detail level is to put statues, and if possible let them hold torches too. Statues will match the atmosphere of the game very well.

What I noticed is that the columns lack their top head (or whatever it is in English)

This is your column

This is just an example, I hope it made sense. I suggest you be creative with it

I hope I helped

that's a lot better!

and you mean "in their", not "in there"

It's great, since I'm no real poet I can't give you any good advice. Each line seems too short is what I noticed and there are hardly any verbs.

But, I believe that she's gonna love it anyway if it's written by you and not anyone else. She's not gonna say "omg you didn't put verbs, get out of my life now". She's gonna say you're sweet and to her it will seem like the best poem ever written

I don't wear "metal" clothes either and might still listen to other kinds of music though not often. I've always liked songs that have a melancholic tone and give more emphasis on the music and lyrics instead of the singing or beat. So I like metal and orchestral music but most of all I love the combination of both, like in Nightwish

I guess I should really shut up now :

I wouldn't really call SOAD as metal but they do rock. Manson's music is indeed awesome but I don't listen to it because I dislike him.

I don't like it when some bands try to be heavy only for the sake of being heavy rather than focusing on the overall quality of their sound. Not that anyone cares or anything

Metal rules!

I don't like all metal, but metal is all I listen to. I find it very melodic and I don't just listen to it because it's heavy.

My favourite bands include:

Tourniquet www.tourniquet.net
Nightwish www.nightwish.com
Iced Earth www.icedearth.com
Desolation www.desolation-online.de
Theocracy www.theocracymusic.com
Morphia www.morphia.nl
Kamelot www.kamelot.com

Plus more that I can't remember right now

So am I the only one who loved the backgrounds of MI4? I do agree that the character models could be a lot better.

the line of her left boob when she gets undressed is wrong

I love your choice of colours, I noticed this in your previous background. Some could say that the shading is not as visible as it should be, but I love it this way.

One thing I noticed is the door that is open. The way it is it looks way too short to cover the whole black area, it should be like the other door instead.
