Yeah, its been a shameful long time really. I am hoping to get this one done here soon and break the curse, maybe start making a new game I wanna make super hardcore, but this one has been dragging me down...

But its all coming together now. Thanks again.

I hate to dig this thread up and show my shame, but I am currently working on this old again. Hope to have some more images to post here real soon, since the old ones have gone deadlinked.

Wish me luck, hopefully finishing this will help me overcome my ags block.

I saw that. Can't remember what it was called though.


sorry.

Weirdly enough I was laying in bed last night, thinking about stuff, and I wondered what ever happened to this game. Crazy.

Good to see, good to see.

Hi all,

First off, thanks for reading and thanks for any help or advice you can offer.

I have been doing black and white images for awhile now and have started to move into shading them with these sweet paintbrush like tipped markers of different gray shades. I am mostly happy with the outcome, but some problems persist:

1. Marker overlap: I'm not sure if that is a technical term but I get this sort of buildup and it creates inconsistent shading. I get it the worst if I try to apply the inks in a back and forth manner, less it seems if I work in a circular motion. Then again some of my shades do this worse than others, like the blueish tone on this gals clothing:

I've been told to use Vellum to ink on, but this hasn't helped much. Any ideas?

2. I can't adjust the levels as well in photoshop when I shade. Normally I ink up a picture and then scan and adjust the levels, you know, make the white white and the blacks black....But I can't do this with my shaded images. I need to do this because sometimes my blacks are inconsistent (for fills I use sharpies sometimes, and the have a slight different tone than my other pens) and it can suck.

This image is an example. I had to go back in and photoshop the shadow behind the characters, which kinda sucked. Any ideas?

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Mostly I am looking to create clean presentable art, free from these little flaws. I've been trying to figure this out on my own, but I figured this place is full of talented artists that could maybe throw me a bone.

Thanks!

Awesome.

My attempt:

Wow man, I am so sorry to hear that.

Awesome. Good to see you are thinking on this project again.

Maybe work on getting the graphics at 100% and the Beer consumption down a little?

This thread makes me realize how much I want to get to work on another, better ags game. It's been forever. I always get started, but I don't seem to have the time in my life like I used to, especially since I have been focusing on my art after work at night.....

No really, since viewing his website I've lost 15 lbs! It's a miracle!

Your website blew my God damned mind!

I'm a little late, but welcome back nonetheless!

I watched this a good while ago. I kept wanting to stop watching it, yet it was done so well. It's really amazing the level of quality on this.

I posted about this site maybe a year or so ago. It still gives me a bad vibe though...

I'm telling you...the C+C Chocolate Factory is the way to go...and really hoopy music.

Things that make you go.....yum?
