HOLD ON GUYS! One more week and I'll be back home! Frankly, I'll kick all your asses.
No... not really. :P
Sunny.. kick ass stuff!
I'm finally trying to begin working on one of hell-demons several cute little joke-comic ideas that he PM'd me!
It's pretty tough for me - I've never been good at drawing the same person more than once, but I'm working hard on fixing that!
Here's a really really quick thingy I've done, just so I don't have to post with no picture :) It's kind of really cutesy-putesy and disneylike, but at least I can draw a few expressions without completely morphing the facial structure :P Ignore all of the ugly rushed areas please!!
Also I've been working on my shading, so the shadows aren't so black and the highlights aren't so white. It looks more natural, if a bit more boring...

I bet noone can guess which movie character I was thinking of when I drew that!! (It's not Ariel from the little mermaid :P)
Johnny Depp.Quote:

But it was Mirage from the Incredibles!! It's my all time favorite Disney movie, although on this forum, I'd guess I'd be the only one who felt that way... :P
As of right now, I'm trying to work on a female counterpart to Tidus_Origin's current BD guy (which really rocks my socks!!), I should be finished before the day is over!
Ah I see. I knew it looked familiar! I liked Violet more.Quote:

As promised here's my BD gal - doesn't really look like Tidus's BD guy, but you know, whatever :P

The bright extravagant colors look really weird in comparison to the dark dreary architecture in DoY, but my logic was that since there's really no laws in the city, people will wear whatever they want!
yeah, but barely. She was in high school I'm pretty sure.Quote:

I loved Fantasia too! Both the first and the second (I liked the second more than the first one, but only because everything was higher quality thanks to technology!) I can't say I liked bambi as much seeing as they killed the mother!! Dumbo is a great classic, I love that movie too :)
Here's a generic DoY PE!

What's that? A different hairstyle? How uncharacteristic of me :P
Though I won't stop using red hair, it represents my anger at the fact that not many other people are contributing their artwork to this thread!
I was thinking, the other night... and I came to the conclusion that I think NC's current psi graphics are too flashy and magicky, and not really 'psychic' at all... But unsuprisingly I'm having difficulty picturing it any other way!
If you could change the psi graphics into anything, what would they look like? (pictures sure would help others see what you mean! hint hint)
Especially now that NC has DX9 capabilities (sorry, I'm really technilogically challenged), doesn't that mean that it's possible to make special effects that make other games look so nice? For example, Guild Wars has that constant glow-y effect (I think WoW does too, not sure though!), and some other offline games that I've seen have effects where parts of the screen are blurred or bent...
Google doesn't help me in my search to describe what I'm talking about in the previous paragraph, but hopefully someone else will understand and be able to explain it better than me :)
Heres a sketch ive just done as i thought id finally show my shite work in this thread i can't draw for toffee.
Mr Tratos Skarn,
http://broken-reality.org/misc/tratossmall.gif
The hair is a bit odd as well as his right arm, the left looks better on paper as you can see the detail.
I'll go over it in Photoshop sometime when i have a graphics tab, my freehand mouse skill is somewhat, like my drawing....shite, lol
EDIT: As you can imagine, Tratos suffers badly from 'Helmet Hair'
I think the effect you are talking about is Bloom. It has a kinda love/hate thing with a lot of gamers.
I know I was discussing the possibilities of new psi-effects in the new engine thing in my last post, but I realized that it would be easier to demonstrate some new drug effects (seeing as the one single one really does stink).
Also, I do realize that just editing the picture in photoshop and giving a little rundown on how you can replicate the effect probably isn't the way that effects can be added into engines... But hey, it doesn't hurt to see how everyone pictures drug effects as being :)
For each of the (currently two) drug effects that I've done, I've included three locations, so you can see the differences in each. My goal with that, was to make drug usage rather uncomfortable in NC, not too costly in DoY, and various effects in the wastelands. The reason for this was because I'm sure drug use would be condoned in a dictatorial society (in NC) for it's almost 'insightful' properties, while being fairly common in DoY for its BD roots.
The way it works in my head is that you get a toned-down version of the drug's specific effect when it's active. After the drug wears off, the drug's specific effect will triple in intensity, causing uncomfortableness in some areas while seeming very cool in others.
Here's the current drug effect in Plaza-1, so you can compare it to the others. (I don't have a picture of it ingame and didn't feel like taking it, so I just replicated the effect in photoshop... it's not really too different)
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...fects/base.jpg
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...ts/current.jpg
As you can see, it lets the user know that he's completely smashed, but instead of giving a 'sensation' makes the user feel like he's turned into an old television set with horrible reception.
Here's the first effect that I made. It has the same static effect, but handles it in a different way.
Plaza-1 active drug effect -- Plaza-1 active drug end effect
DoY-7 active drug effect -- DoY-7 active drug end effect
Wastelands active drug effect -- Wastelands active drug end effect
This drug's effect will make people either fascinated or uncomfortable around brighter areas in the world (Viarosso, Wastelands, areas with neon signs), and has a lesser effect on the darker areas in the world (Pepper Park, DoY, sewers, some appartments, etc etc).
Here's how you can do it in Photoshop (I use CS, things shouldn't be too different in any version of it):
1- Put a screenshot on the bottommost layer.
2- Make three layers above it.
3- Set your foreground brush color to black and your background brush color to white.
4- Fill each of the three empty layers with the paint bucket, so they're solid black.
5- Go into Filter > Noise > Add Noise, and type in the following settings: Amount: 225%, Distribution: Gaussian, and make sure that Monochromatic is checked. Do this for all three of the black layers. This step adds the TV-static stuff.
6- Go into Filter > Pixelate > Mosaic. Use cell size 4. This makes the TV-static in the last step slightly larger. Do this for all three of the static-y layers.
7- Set the rendering mode of all three layers to 'Darken'. This basically turns the white in the static invisible, and shows the black part, dependant on the background.
8- Set the opacity of these layers to 50%.
9- Leave all three of the static layers visible for the overdoes effect, but any one layer around for the active effect.
The second drug effect that I did is similar to the glowy effect in Guild Wars. Basically, it makes all of the light colors brighter, and the deep colors darker, though the effect is slightly different as you go across the spectrum and depends on the surrounding colors.
Plaza-1 active drug effect -- Plaza-1 active drug end effect
DoY-7 active drug effect -- DoY-7 active drug end effect
Wastelands active drug effect -- Wastelands active drug end effect
This area will make contrasted areas seem very cool (Pepper Park, the DoY clubs, maybe Viarosso) because the colors sort of 'bleed' into each other, and will make anything that moves seem very significant and almost magical. It will make you nearly blind in darker, greyer areas, however, so would be very unpleasant in Plaza and other areas.
Here's how you can do it:
1- Put a screenshot on the bottommost layer.
2- Duplicate that layer.
3- Set the tops rendering mode to Overlay. This effect does the color-changing effects that I mentioned in the paragraph above.
4- Go into Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur, with the top layer selected. This makes the color seem to 'bleed out' into the other colors.
5- Duplicate the blurred layers two times for the overdose effect.
That's really all the effects that I have time for. Like I mentioned earlier in this paragraph... I'm assuming that doing these little tutorials for drug effects would mean nothing to a programmer, but it sure is fun :) You guys should either create your own drug effect/tutorials, or see if there's any areas or actions that look cool when you're completely wasted on one of the drugs by taking a screenshot and using one of the tutorials (hope they were written well enough)... Preferably both :)
Some rough colouring of Mr Skarns PA, detail will be added when i draw over it, this is just filling in areas of colour to get the basic look, also when i add the details the rough edges around the outside will be tidied up.

Still need to go around the whole picture to remove rough edges but ive toyed with adding some details and this is what it came to.
I prefer the term 'athletic'.Quote:

dammit people! slow down! :p
Back home, but as I explain on the OOC forum, not exactly in the best shape at the moment... ***!@)!@@!)*)^!!
Sunny, your style is terrifically amazing. It seems to change almost hypnotically from one pic to the next, it's very interesting. Proportion's hardly an issue when you're going in such a stylized direction, but I will admit that these pictures are heavily biased in that they're all female models :P
I'll use my downtime to whimper and scan in what little I have. Having a little trouble understanding what I can do to get these muy bueno clean lines (other than retrace them manually, BLEAH!!!)
