The General I did This Creative Thing Thread (TGIdTCTT)

John_Candlebury · 2014-08-19T01:47:13.000Z

The concept art for an oracle, rushed in between the myriad of petty things I have to do. But I feared losing the idea if I didn’t draw it.

Ohh also before you start calling me lazy for not drawing hands, I must tell you that oracles don’t have arms. They get to keep their eyes though.

I know that feel.

Also, woah!

Inquisitor_Dust · 2014-08-21T22:37:06.000Z

John why are you being lazy and not drawing hands?
Naw, but is that more Dark Colbatbleu universe stuff?

In unrelated news, I had a brief stint as both a grill and a girl today.

Inquisitor_Dust · 2014-08-22T20:07:19.000Z

Aaaaand double post. Since I drew myself as a girl I decided to do my best friend as a guy. HAVE THIS THINGY.

Ok I did a thing, I recreated the 8 Slender pages because why not? I think I do a good ‘slender writing’ with my messy writing and good at making it look rushed/ scratchy/ messy/ etc.

[spoiler= Individual Pieces]NOTE: I do not have a scanner so I had to make due by holding it and taking a picture with my laptop’s inbuilt camera (I did the same thing for the whole 8 paged together, pain in the aaaassssss.) So sorry for crap quality and bright lighting.

(The last two I forgot to take in the first run, and I was busy so I took them now at a much later time.)

Hey, cool work there! Now you just need a forest…

I did Ludum Dare with some coworkers this weekend, will post a link to a build as soon as I have one.
The game is Bullets, Enemies and Portals
You control a pair of portals that link two game levels, one of which is populated with bullets, the other of which is populated with enemies and allies.

Woah, that’s a good idea! The question is… is it hard enough?

kevin.granade · 2014-08-25T06:32:11.000Z

Hard to say, it’s not really finished at this point.
We were playing around with some setting where the number of bullets were getting into bullet hell range, but without the precise patterns that kind of game has I’m not sure it’s playable with those settings.

FunsizeNinja123 · 2014-08-25T10:25:25.000Z

That sounds awesome, Kevin! Would play 10/10

Let me know what you think, it’s definitely rough, but I think the idea is pretty solid for a quick hack.

Yeah its a very nice concept for a game, kudos for the creativity. Also, I suck at multitasking.

Im to lazy to have more than one universe going at the same time, so yeah, pretty much. Which brings me to this

A work in progress of my first digital painting evah.

FunsizeNinja123 · 2014-08-28T01:44:24.000Z

I kiek dst paitnting, john.

Whoops. I like that painting, John.

KA101 · 2014-08-28T03:19:39.000Z

I dunno about that painting. It looks like a well-done scene of Strange Statues along a path that almost certainly ends in a grating with a light pedestal nearby.

Totally DDA-related. Just that the content’s not in. Yet.

StopSignal · 2014-08-28T10:23:34.000Z

When you finish, apply some smoke textures!

So it would become foggy and mysterious.

That looks really good

John_Candlebury · 2014-09-04T02:54:21.000Z

Thanks for the encouragement, I will surely share the finished thing once its done.

What about trying to draw actual eyes for a change?

[spoiler]

A knight of the White Sun again. I have decided to change the clothes to something more desert like, because you know I like deserts. And scarf belts or however you call them.[/spoiler]

FunsizeNinja123 · 2014-09-04T11:01:51.000Z

Omg eyes

I think their a bit too big imo…

kevin.granade · 2014-09-04T16:01:47.000Z

Love the Kinesthetics, so many artists draw with perfect posture all the time.

Lorknis · 2014-09-04T18:44:14.000Z

The eyes are nice though the color seemed kinda bright.

Aravhorn · 2014-09-04T18:47:23.000Z

The eyes are okay, you could say that they are even cute, but just as Lorknis said, the color is too bright.
Also, I don’t know why, but I find the nose a bit weird. A different taste of aesthetics, I guess?
