The sketch thread!

Not bad, DJ. I like the detail of her bg gun of doom! :3

So yes, me again.

And here's an older sketch, now scanned in with the A3 SCANNER (aw yeee bitches) that I got for Christmas.

Also just a quick sai render I did of my friend Kurtis.

He likes puzzles.

Insufferably cheeky as ever.

Another battle depiction from I314.

Member XII again?

But with a twist, I'm now using this as an avatar EVERWHEAR!

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

I don't know why I'm trying this. ;_;

 

[ZenVirZan]

I don't know why I'm trying this. ;_;

That doesn't look bad at all; I'd give it a read.

 

[coyotecraft]

I want to make new Avatar, and pixel animations, and drawings.
But I can't even pick up the pen. I dunno what or where this resistance is coming from. I feel great. I just keep running away from it.

Why can't I art everyday?

 

[ZenVirZan]

Why can't I art everyday?

Swap art with music and I know your pain :s

 

[coyotecraft]

Is it that you have a specific goal in mind?

It's crazy. I've got sketches I can clean up. But I'm not...ready. Idk. Ugh, I can start something new but I need to learn to finish. I know what the next step is. I...just...can't...ngh *brain aneurysm*

edit: speaking of music, I've noticed whenever I get like this I have songs stuck in my head. So I really feel like I'm spinning my tires going nowhere.

 

[ZenVirZan]

Oh, I don't have a specific goal in mind. Usually when I write something that turns out good, it'll have been from me getting a massive surge of inspiration and powering it out so fast I forget what it sounds like the next day.

If I actually try to make something by sitting down and thinking "I'm going to write something now", it won't work at all.

 

[BizarreMonkey]

I say if you enjoy it keep going Strawbs!

Here's a goofy fan mail prep thing I did recently.

Chewing animation test.
Something I've been meaning to try. My first attempt. No references or anything. I'm kinda surprised how it came out. When I started I didn't think it would read as "chewing" without a chin or something. But it seemed to work even without the food bits, at least to me but that might be confirmation bias. What do you think?

 

[BizarreMonkey]

I don't know near enough about chewing animations and chewing but from first glance that looks about right.

Here's some boxart.

There's nothing more glorifying than seeing your game like an official product.

 

[ZenVirZan]

The colon being on the new line bothers me and I think that the text up the top and the "Smart mouths. Smarter minds" should probably be the same font.
But other than those little things, it looks pretty neat, nice.

 

[BizarreMonkey]

I'll consider the font, also probably gonna change the tagline.

I went in making this as simple as possible so it's nice that it came out way better than I expected it too.

Something about the corners of mouths moving when eating that makes them stick. The food stuff is good, but a but obvious, maybe smaller bits? Or if it's saliva, it could ark. Also, cheeks indicating a portion size bulging/moving around in the mouth would help.

Either way, good work!

Someone is ready for battle.

Meanwhile, someone is already ready for the summer!

Fun stuff.

Looks good Strawberri!

Done a fair bit of album art, here's two bits.

Okay this is for an art duel between me and a good friend, but here is a really interesting version of Yasondre.
