Thanks for the kind words Lankus :) I'm looking forward to join the spitpaintings group, sounds like a cool thing! I will also try to do some thumbnails as you suggested ^^ At the moment I started a new exercise, maybe I'll try to refine this one a bit more. Here is the W.I.P. at the very beginning, composition is not even…
OCR would create an index, but using the 'Optimize Scanned PDF' function does not. It basically just does a bad autotrace (from what I can see after trying it on my own birth certificate) then slaps the traced vector elements into a new layer leaving other pieces and bits it couldn't trace in the other layers. End result…
Congrats dude! I'm im a similar but less official boat, fooling with trying to make a unity game in my spare time, respect, game design is so fun/so cool. "Dungeon Drop is a throwback to the old days of Double Dragon and Streets of Rage." This sounds exciting. "Our innovative game combines elements of both the hack and…
I definitely prefer the colours in this iteration! Although you're right about it seeming a bit dark - the foreground elements still need to be more brought-out and separated from the background. Perhaps you could increase the brightness and radial influence of the lamps to create patches of more high-value areas in the…
Sorry, Just wanted to chime in and offer conflicting feedback haha! So It's actually quite common to have the main character look off frame in an illustration. It can really make your subject stand out as the point of interest in the image especially when other elements are facing inward. But art is all subjective :P and…
Just started to work on the scenery, namely the Dire Tower, just very roughly blocked in the major elements which I will further refine as I go: It's currently missing the bottom assymetrical part, which I haven't started yet. The tower along with some rocks and a base for the whole thing will make up the scenery for the…
Prophecies : Hey you can always hardcode your 3d models too because 3d modeling tools are also cheating i don't see talent becoming obsolete, in the end it will come down to pure creativity of the person in question. The design element will always stay. And there will also always be non realistic games that require you to…
I think there is no way to set the priortity of transparent stuff in Marmoset, so the Z-buffer doesn't know which element must be rendered first. I had the same problem some time ago with a character, it had a transparent helmet and transparency on the eyelashes, it didn't work. Finally I put it in UDK where you can set…
AtticusMars: Thanks! For some characters we definitely wanted to introduce an element of creepiness. Some of the unintentional creepiness probably comes from the unfinished AI behavior. For example sometimes the NPCs can go a really long time without blinking their eyes :) Gazu, Jeff, JamieRIOT: Thanks a lot guys!…
I understand, I'll try to give him a more dwarven feel. I am, however, unwilling to change his lanky body type. I could make his forearms larger and that would give some of the muscles of a miner. Here is a design paint over that had some elements that I hope give him a more dwarven feel. Does this give him a more dwarven…
