ProgZmax: Thanks for the tips, I agree with your points and have adjusted the image accordingly. The items beneath the wings are intended as missiles

Dualnames: Yep, it's meant to be a sort of hybrid space/air craft. I'm glad you like it, thanks for the comments

TwinMoon: Thanks man . I adjusted these fins earlier, so hopefully they look like they're both pointing slightly inwards (for cutesy comicky effect ). I realize these fins are waaay too fat at the front to be aerodynamic, but I like em this way 



Basically, I made the changes suggested by ProgZ, and then went through and cleaned up some of the less necessary brushstrokes.

Thanks Mash

Time to move on . Because the only thing that I love drawing more than spaceships is more spaceships, I decided it was time to put my tablet time towards doing a space ship.



YAY!

It's a pretty rough version, but this took me a fair while as it was, (I guess I'll get faster as I practice - this was a couple of hours, I think o_O). Have you any hints for me?

I know some of you guys get all interested in lines and stuff, so I left the basic lineart I did to start the sketch off in the corner . I'll no doubt add little fine details when it's clear that the sketch is close to a finished version.

Looking reeeeaaallly funky  8)

I am interested in how you're going to add the colour - I assume you are not just going to paint over the top of the black and white without some fancy layery trickery stuff?

Is very nice, anyhow.

Hey hey



Spent some more time on this, following your example, auriond.

It's still got room for improvement but considering it really is just a practice sketch and the fact that I've spent tons of time on it already, I'll probably move on for now and come back later to see what I can improve. With regards to smoothing out the brushstrokes - well, I think the way I set the brush up leaves behind little brush strokes, but they don't bother me too much. I guess I'd go for a 'smooth' look like yours in an actual picture for a game, but for practice I don't think they are harmful .

I really appreciate both paintovers, thanks a bunch!

Wow. That's absolutely fantastic.

I am taking this and saving it and staring at it for a while. Maybe then I'll have a go at trying to paint in these suggestions

Wonderful, I really appreciate this paintover!

I'll do some playing around with the eyes - in a bunch of directions I guess, to see what works. I agree, they are one of the prettiest parts.

I'm not sure what you mean by laptop or board... my tablet is a little grey square that I sit on my lap and draw with, but has no screen attached. Forgive my ignorance of the nuances of tablet products

Oh dude, I can't believe I forgot that! And it was so recent, as well!

Sorry 

Matti - thanks for the comments, if you could spare some time for a paintover I'd enjoy seeing your point of view

Paolo - I understand what you are saying. Perhaps I'll have a little play around with the shading to see if I can improve this.

Uhfgood - Except for the straightness of the hair (mine is wavy), the fact that the face is female and the pretty part of things, this might as well be a picture of me

When I first saw this thread, I thought "Oh great, another person who hasn't read the rules"

Then I read here and found that this was the title. Excellent.

Do this, I want to play

I'm not exactly going for 'perfection' but if there are improvements that could be made here, I'd appreciate the advice, and paintover

I'm not a perfectionist, I just like improving until I can't improve anymore

My hair is long enough and I have been parting it this way for 5 years and I never noticed this.

Must be brain problems on my behalf 



Better?

Ahaha I must be blind 

Thanks for pointing that out, is all making sense to me now 

Yay, I finally got some time to work on this again:



I've tried to follow your example fairly closely here, Mash, so hopefully it's starting to look close to finished

Auriond - I'm not 100% sure what you mean - do you mean fill in the little "v" shape at the top of the hair to make it smooth and rounded?

Thanks for the advice once more

Yeah! I really like this edit. Only thing - it could be my eyes playing tricks, but the fawn that is to the right of the image seems to have a wonky back leg, or one that is longer than the other.

I look forward to seeing you put some colour in here

Great topic! I've been looking for text adventures myself recently, so hopefully this thread will help the both of us

If you love Humbug and haven't checked it out yet, play Jacaranda Jim. It's incredibly strange and written by the same guy and also probably my favourite text adventure ever, and it was written the year I was born. And no, I haven't beaten it yet . I mainly just play it for giggles.

Another obvious choice is Chatroom by TheJBurger - because it's written in AGS and also because it's a darn neato game!

Bring on suggestions

I get something a little bit like this (with different parts though) every now and then.

In the last year I changed jobs and started working in a shearing shed. A lot of my job involves using my hands, working with other people doing the same thing. While it's pretty noisy in the shearing shed, every now and then (when I start doing the part with lots of involvement with my hands) I seem to go into an intense moment of relaxation, where I feel like the world around me has vanished and the noises and sights around me are blurred. However, whatever is directly in front of me (usually my hands sorting wool) is more vivid. The smell of the wool becomes very clear, as though I was focusing on my sense of smell as well. I get the feeling that my perception of time has slowed down, although it may not have slowed down at all. It is definitely a good feeling. I'm not sure about breathing - I can't recall feeling like I was breathing heavy during this time, but I've never focused on breathing during it.

It may be something completely different, but it's something I've wondered about for a little while.

Hi there Tina,

The only thing that comes to my mind here is that you may not be extracting the file in order to play them.

If you haven't extracted the file, I don't think the save game function will add the save game to the archive, meaning the game will not be able to find your save game.

If you're definitely extracting the files, then perhaps someone else can help here.

Cheers

Oh, and:

Man Boy vs Doctor Sock by some crazy Australian mofo

These are all that I can think of, sorry if I missed anyone 

I need to make a new one

Yes, it is offtopic, but I agree with this.

Heh, I keep reading the title of this as "Dear Goddess"

No criticism from me. The fawns don't look too small - I'm not sure about fawns, but I know lambs are really very small when born, so if these fawns are quite young I'd expect this size to be about right. Plus, they look cute when they're very small, so I'd say you've nailed the size.

I remember seeing the pixeled version a while back and thinking it looked really great - I look forward to seeing you paint this version up
