The General I did This Creative Thing Thread (TGIdTCTT)

Pthalocy · 2014-12-18T08:15:09.000Z

This is from 2005. I did not have good art software in 2005, although I did have my tablet PC by then. Highschool afforded me little time for the internet, but a lot of breaks for drawing. I could pass classes and work mindlessly on art tasks over the course of a work week.

I don’t really do that anymore in university. Now my days are spent in class unable to multitask like that, or not needed to wait on campus, so I go home and do internet stuff and my art remains neglected. This saddens me a little. With university ending so soon, I hope to make a return to doing bigger art investments like this.

Y.Y It’s so beautiful.

Great work Ed!

John_Candlebury · 2014-12-18T12:05:59.000Z

Yep, agreed. That looks very good.

StopSignal · 2014-12-18T15:56:00.000Z

That looks really good! I seriously love it.

For what it’s worth, the paper is 9"x12", it’s still fairly precise, but mostly it’s not a small picture. Work big if you want to think big. Room for error is a very literal thing in art.

…is that zombie moose dancing? I WANT ONE.

KA101 · 2014-12-19T07:20:41.000Z

Yeah, the bouncy moose is pretty nice. Little jerky for an ani-gif but I think it’s slow enough to be safe for epileptics. (spoiler tag is still best-practice, but I’m not demanding one here.)

Games. You must make them! That’s some lovely stuff.

I’ll call him… Meepsy. He moves like a Meepsy.

Woah, to be honest I just made anything, BUT CUTE ZOMBIE MOOSE

Hmm, anyways, going to edit it just in case! Thanks!

Oh man, how I’d wish to be able to code. Make games, worlds of mine go live! So many ideas, so little knowledge. The most I did apart from Flash little projects was to try a roguelike python+libtcod tutorial. I should continue that thing. Got the character to move and be called class player, that was just an amazing experience.

SPELUNKY.

Though i never play this game, it thought it could be really fun to make a spritesheet for it. Se there it is! It was an incredibly tought and long work, but i like how it is now! I love it.

Here you have a bad phone picture because the game does not let me take an screenie:
Hope you like it!

You can’t link from your Private folder on dropbox if I remember correctly.

Here it is, i think it’s big. It’s nothing awesome to be honest.

John_Candlebury · 2014-12-22T01:39:27.000Z

Well the sprite sheet looks good, if you ask me, it sure took a lot of time to get it that way.

Speaking of archaeology, I have my version of a jungle adventure outfit.

Done to test sketchbook express, cant really say I’m a fan of sketchbook, all the brushes are terrible.

Jakers · 2014-12-22T01:48:00.000Z

Sketchbook Express indeed has quite a poor brush selection and I prefer to use other thingies; I think you did quite good considering!

The only criticism I can think of is the severe lack of fedoras.

What are you using?

I’m still searching for a replacement until I can get Photoshop again.

Jakers · 2014-12-22T02:46:20.000Z

I’m currently using GIMP; it may not be the best but it’s free, has okay-ish brushes and the layering system is very manageable.

I’ve had good experiences with SAI, but it’s got an even smaller selection of Brushes than Sketchbook to my knowledge, and it’s not free. It’s awesome for linework though.
