I made an arranged version of an old song from about 500 years ago, which was written by a guy called Alexander Agricola:

>>12615427
I like it, but the legs are scaring me

>>12615413
Is this a motet? I like it, anon!
The instrument is a bit dull though, what did you use?

>>12615427
Why do you keep purposefully going all over the place in specific parts of your drawings?

>>12615461
What do you mean "purposefully" I don't even know what you're referring to...

"Thanks for the flowers dude"

"Y-you too ..."

>>12615427
Anatomy is still off like in your previous ones. Try seriously practicing in drawing anatomy

>>12615461
OpenMPT.

Drama pilot, maybe:

A depressed and overworked OL starts to have a recurring dream: in some indistinct and dimly-lit place, she meets a group of catwomen hanging out naked, smoking catnip, chatting, cuddling, and admiring and pleasuring each other.

The first night, they beg OL to strip and join them, promising to show her a good time. Though hesitant at first, she can't help appreciating their company. As the night goes on, she gradually becomes cat-OL, developing her own feline tics, eyes, fangs, ears, and tail; she is just beginning to notice these when she wakes up. While she wouldn't call that a nightmare, she's glad she doesn't have to go out in public like that.

Throughout the work day, OL notices a lady coworker whom she barely knows is looking at her regularly. Something about coworker interests OL too, but she can't put a finger on it. When they happen to leave work at the same time, they make some small talk and find themselves clicking already.

The second night, OL enters the dream room as cat-OL from the start, and one of the first to welcome her back is cat-coworker....

>>12615427
Her arm's broken.

Uh, I want to draw a 2hu, but I'm not sure which one. Suggestions please?

>>12615520
Marisa having fun with Mimi-chan!

>>12615461
It sounds like he's using the MS GS wavetable synth with some reverb.

>>12615509
Oh, I've used this bad boy before. I can't cope with trackers though, so even if I want to make MIDI nowadays I just use FLStudio.

>>12615484
You have a well-developed line control, but make some terrible mistakes, leading me to believe you are not really erring, but rather rushing what could be a proper drawing.

For fuck's sake, look at that ear. After making your sketch's silhouette, try marking anatomy down with some building blocks, then you add the details.

On another completely different note, today I woke up (couple hours ago) thinking "HEY, OCTH and OCTOBER/2014 ARE GRAPHICALLY SIMILAR!

I'm feeling quite the buttsandwich for this.

>>12615520
Tiny 2hu trying to steal reimu cookies

>>12615556
>>12615528
Hmm, okay. I think I can do those. Thank you for the suggestions!

http://widdiful.co.uk/touhou.html
I made a program that lets you run official and fan-made Touhou games. Let me know of any suggestions you have and I'll add them. It'll help if you post it in the thread I made for it so it's easier to manage, thanks. >>12615587

>>12615755
Good taste.

Her eyes are broken, I need to pay more attention next time.

>>12615233
A drawing i'm working on for halloween

>>12615901
Nice to see the girl is a little less sexually provocative.

>>12615901
I think she's cuter with her bangs down.

>>12615961
I like your coloring style

>>12615978

That isnt a style just simply bad coloring

>>12616160
It's not bad. This style of coloring, or at least something similar, can be perfected and used to make beautiful pictures.

>>12616160
It's unfinished and sketchy, but there is a certain style attached to it. You can say impressionism is bad painting, but it's just a different proposal. If the anon wanted, I bet he could make a finished-looking piece.

I personally like the color choice.

>>12616160
Colour choice is good, clearly unfinished drawing though.

>>12615961

Hey nice. If you worked on the hands a little and maybe made the bottom of the nose darker it would really bring it out a lot. Right now her hands blend into the shirt because you didn't want to draw them!

>>12616294
Hands are the worst.
Only the feet come close in difficulty.

>>12616294
Thanks for the CC anons. I did not really intend to finish but I'll try to redo this piece.

>>12616305

They are but it's important to draw them. Plus it also is a nice way to show off your abilities without boasting.

Why can't I draw anything cute.

>>12617343
Maybe its because subcosciently don't want to draw cute things
have you tried drawing horrible things?

>>12616305
i find feet way harder
all depends on what you practice on more

>>12617359
Horrible things like force-feeding Mystia with chickens? No, I'm not that cruel.

>>12617343
Well I think your Momiji is pretty cute anon.

>>12615413
This made me feel like I was back in Daggerfall again.

>>12617343

>>12617717
That's a very girly guy.
I'm curious if any of you guys can draw realistic western stuff.

>>12617720
what's your idea of realistic western stuff? a lot of people say realistic with things that are semi-realistic, so it varies a lot.

>>12615904
You've been drawing that way for over a year and you didn't even improve a little. How is that possible?

>>12617788
I wonder if anyone draws with a Marvel or DC Comic book style.

>>12617813
Probably bad genetics

>>12617813
Maybe he's content with what he does. It happens.

Show me your progress, /jp/.

>>12617919
>>>/ic/

>>12617919
>2000-2009
Are you serious?

>>12617823
In theory its the most natural way of drawing for me, but I hate it so much I can't really do it.
I was such a big fan of capes comics when I was a kid. but one day I started realizing how damn stupid and limited everything was. I can't really trust the opinions of anyone older than 20 that says he likes modern marvel and dc.

>>12617919
I think that would be the final push to drive me to suicide.

>>12617919
What about a 2008-2013 you fuckass?

>>12618172

>>12618198
I hope we all have improved until 20013!

>>12618198
HOLY MOLY are you from /gd/?!?!

>>12617813
This drawing is a drawing I sketched directly on the computer// the reason you don't see improvement in my drawings drawn on the computer is because i've only now got back into drawing on the computer. it's not like i've been regularly drawing on the computer because I haven't.
I used the same brush and it was a fast sketch that's why you think i'm stuck in the stone age.
I did this as an exercise of what I generally want to do with this picture.
I don't post my art I draw in pencil because i'm trying to get better at linearting on the computer before I post it.
The drawing I posted isn't a depiction to how I lineart- it's just my scribbly brush and method to take it easy and get a sketch down.

>>12618428
Please don't feel bad

Someone tell me how to make a tablet work exactly like a non-mechanical pencil.

>>12615904
I drew reimu again but in pencil this time.

>>12618577
Anon, I'm extremely sorry

>>12618577
Cute, linework that shit!

>>12618565
Stop fagging. Don't you use a mouse? It's the same principle and shouldn't raise any impairment.
The only quirk you can add is some textured brush to look like it was drawn by pencil.

And if you have Paint Tool SAI, you can test the stabilizer, I generally put a hint of it just so my strokes don't get all wobly due high tablet sensitivity.

Is there a decent guide how to create line art or inking out of a drawing before coloring?

Photoshop's pen tool doesn't look very appealing/convincing. It appears that SAI's brushes and pen tool gives more smoother lines (and colors).

Here's one I drew a few years ago to use as a testbed. It is bad, but that's not the point.

Could somebody at least share some good Pixiv tutorials or tags that might be related?

Lewd things. It's somewhat sketched from reference, though. But I might like this kind of lively color scheme.

>>12618565
I put a pieace of paper over the tablet, makes it less slippery.
>>12618584
I hope you're not saying a mouse and a pencil are similar.
>>12618614
Good lineart requires confident strokes, if you scratch things out or go over a line a lot, of course it won't look as good.

>>12618628
Can I sexualize?

>>12618648
You may.

>>12618654
Thanks, now I'll sexualize imagining about a lewd fun naked day at the beach with her

>>12618630
>I hope you're not saying a mouse and a pencil are similar.
I'm saying a mouse and a tablet are similar. And everyone here is familiar with a mouse.

>>12618614
Pick SAI's pen, put your stabilizer between 15 and S-3 (depending on your need).
Make a shortcut for Undo that takes only one key, you'll be using it A LOT.
Be sure to get a somewhat thick line, so the pressure can also play a role.

You will do every stroke individually, but precisely. If you don't get it right, undo. Draw again. Sometimes a tricky curve may take you 10 attempts, don't give up.
Linearting is different from drawing, don't feel like you're cheating by rotating the canvas, undoing, zooming in/out. The sketch is a guideline, but the real position of the linework should be in your mind at the time you strike. You can even make a few corrections through this.

In my university I had classes on linearting for animation and it's all about conceiving the right shape. There are also some stuff on readability, but that's for when you're more advanced.

>>12618630
I'll do something then post a new sketch then soon.

But out of the previous, how to get black lines? Pen tool or levels/adjustments/threshold?

>>12618628
Cute, how close the ref is it? Can we see?

Wasn't sure who to draw so I ended up with this.
Which do you guys like more? I'm leaning more towards the knight.

>>12618830
The knight looks better

>>12618830
Left
right one looks unpolished with that cape

>>12618628
Why are the nipples pointing in different directions?

>>12619330
What's this bitch hiding behind her back?

>>12619310
yeah, now that i look at it it's really off. i left the sketch around for a week and tried to finish it up but i forgot to go back over it
might've looked better with ribs too, don't know

>>12619371
Maybe she loves you so much her heart decided to just squeeze out of whatever slit was closest?

drew kitakami-sama. should I color?

>>12619404
did someone cut off her left hand and right arm?

>>12619406
there. satisfied?

>>12619417
good, but now she needs some physical therapy to learn how to use her new hands.

>>12619417
Stop drawing melting people.

>>12619334
Rude. for you? A knife.
>>12619417
The legs in this drawing looks very strange.. however your line-weight is getting better.

>>12619417
Her legs/hips look fuckin weird man... and maybe her arms are a bit odd too. I don't mean to offend you by saying this. But her face and upper body look really good to me, nice work.

>>12619429
Care to explain what you even mean by that? I'm intrigued

An old slum girl oc for suposed to be comic

>>12619449
Cute! The hobo atmosphere reminds me of the Gokiburi Gijinka series.

>>12619451
That has nothing to do with drawing "melting" people. Maybe "anatomically incorrect people" or whatever but I just want to know why he chose the word "melting" to be honest.

>>12619417
Why do you always fuck up the limbs?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch-TDGW-zXs

>>12619417
I think you make some pretty nice lines. I hope you don't get discourage by the critique you get. When you get better at anatomy I think we can look forward to some really nice pictures, so keep practicing that.

I enjoy your stuff anyway.

>>12619420
Johj. You should draw full body.

>>12619330
That's cute

>>12618708
Thanks.
Very close, except maybe the hair and face: http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=206645
Still did the normal anatomy setup, though.
There's just something about cute, short-haired, tanned tomboy type girls with school swimsuit tan-lines...

>>12617423
Nice Onepunch-tribute. King should look a fair tad more intimidating, though. Try "edging" out his face a litte, friend.

So I'm trying to get into audio recording and did this as a demo for something I had in mind. While this turned out okay, the intended metal-rendition failed, with the lack of software and hardware being partly to blame.
The disharmony on some parts is purposely done, the lack of rythm on some parts was entirely my fault.
Hope it's not too hard to listen to.

I wish I was a bird

>>12620856
Try drawing yourself with wings

Tried to draw using mspaint with mouse.

It's been a while.
Is this too lengthy in the beginning?
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1w9FBIBfahC

>>12621256
Beautiful! I wish I could draw trees without making them look deformed

>>12621408
Your trees reflect your deformed spirit

>>12621408

I build the big trunk and then just branch out randomly to a taper and then add the other parts that stick out. You just don't really think about it but still control your arm.

>>12621342
No, it gives people something to hold on. The transition to the fast part could use more work. You have a pretty good sense of melody but the i-VII-VI-v progression sounds very cheesy.

>>12619449
that's really good, and cute too
i like the guys in the satan sardine shack
>>12621256
i really love your landscapes (i feel like i say this all the time), the birds are great
>>12621408
do some studies of trees then, practice makes perfect

>>12619449
Super cute! My sketch ended up inspired by it.

>>12620856
HALLO EVERYNYAN

>>12620584
I like it. Reminds me a bit of the song that plays in VTMB when you enter LA.

>>12621013
Pretty cool for an MS paint drawing. I like it.

>>12621013
I also have some MSpaint+ Mouse drawings lying around!

>>12621621

Thats what it reminds me of too.

>>12621478
Thanks for the feedback.
Cheesy, really? There are a couple pop songs with a "andalusian cadence" (I had to look that one up) so I didn't think it'd be that bad.

As for the transition, you are referring to the last part of the slow half, right? I tried to keep it as simple as I could, but I guess it could stand to be a little more interesting...

>>12621603
OH MAI GA!

>>12621661
This is really well made, but doesn't reflect Watashi's personality.

/jp/ is so full of talented people. Why doesn't /jp/ form a doujinshi circle?

>>12621761
I don't think we have writers

>>12621761
I could never complete something I start.

>>12621761
We're not japanese

>>12621781
I'm sure we do. Written stories are just not the kind of stuff you can share easily like a picture or a song.
Also, I think it's a little more embarrassing if it goes wrong, so they hide along with our vocalists.

Also, be honest, how many /jp/sies have the attention span to read the five and a half thousand words of rough storyboard I decided to write down in word?
In German?

>>12621905
So then an independent publishing group?

>>12621761
We are too depressed and/or insecure to do something that complex. plus most people here have been on 4chan long enough to know perfectly how 99,99% of internet projects only spawn grief, humiliation and self loathing

>>12621909
Me. Depending on the quality and theme of course. But don't expect any feedback.

>>12621686
>Cheesy, really? There are a couple pop songs with a "andalusian cadence"
It works given some circumstances, but not at the beginning of your song. Personally I would do it like this:
http://vocaroo.com/i/s00hPnB3KPWQ
It's a i - VI7 - VII - V7 - VI - IV7 - V7 progression.
The fast section is great, but I would change the Fmaj chord to a dm7 with F in the bass. That's just my opinion, so feel free to disagree with me

>As for the transition, you are referring to the last part of the slow half, right? I tried to keep it as simple as I could, but I guess it could stand to be a little more interesting...
I think it's too abrupt, but it doesn't necessarily means that it has to be long.

If you don't know how to read roman numerals pic related will help.

>>12621909
If it's in German I'd look at it to see how much I can understand. If it's in English I'd skim through it.

>>12621761
you mean like ANOTHER DREAM?

>>12621931
We're not motivated

>>12619417
So I fixed the thighs and cheek (I think) and colored it. I know the coloring is off but I gave up.

>>12622068
What a-fucking-bout writing it in english?
are you typing with machine translator?

>>12622074
That anatomy makes no sense
Is this an Eldritch horror?

>>12622088
It's easier in my mother tongue you know?
Well, guess I have a reason to start translating now. Don't expect anything.

>>12622074
How come the armpit is behind the ribcage? What's with the braid not having inner strokes and looking like a ribbon?

I approve of your fixes, though, it looks way better now. Keep pushing!

>>12621781
Even if we have writers, no group of skilled drawfags would willingly create a story for a random writer.
Because artists in general have their notions of how a story should be AND because with writing it's harder to argue about quality, and it would just become an ego dispute.

Also because it's harder to quickly spot quality in a written piece, ANYONE will give a try and make the process cumbersome. It's not like drawing, where a quick glance can automatically reprove 90% of the unskilled people.

Circles work because people trust each other's talent enough to do as they say and move the project forward.

>>12621758
Yeah, I hadn't seen the anime when I made it, it was requested in a drawthread.

Here's another one

>>12622068
I've read to chapter 3, will read further tomorrow. Is that script for something specific, like a VN?

>>12622177
Nothing specific at all. Could be manga, light novel, VN, RPG...

I'm happy to hear that much didn't make you drop it entirely.

Here are some sketches of my characters~

>>12622347
Adult heads in child bodies is creepy.
The toaster dude is double creepy.

Neko bishounen is fine.

I tried drawing shoes, the one thing I have always been avoiding in any sketch. They're so complex and frustrating to draw.
But I guess this one perspective turned out alright. What do you think?

>>12622347
>Adult heads in child bodies is creepy.

I think you're watching too much moe shows.

>>12622396
Not bad

>>12622409
Are you implying those look like children's heads? That could be the case if the anatomy was more realistic, but as is it looks like a bobblehead toy.

>>12622396
The shoe doesn't seem to heave the typical point, rather going downwards the whole time.

I suggest you grab your shoes and forget about about pretty lines, sketch the shit out of it in 300 different poses. I don't have half your skill on the other fields, but shoes are no longer a problem after intensively drawing them.

>>12622467
I know I fucked up the position of the boy's belt, which make it feel like his legs are tiny compared to the rest, intended to fix that on paper later. Otherwise, compared beforehand with some kids references, don't think I fucked up much the anatomy, and yeah, the face can be one of a boy.

Bottom left is purposely parodying lolis.

>>12622525
something like that.

>>12622396
Hey, how you do that blue line effect thinghy?
>>12622347
I think your problem simply is that you shouldn't draw trying to be japan-like.
google Tony Diterlizzi

>>12622572
Not really trying to make it japan-like, I just draw the way I prefer to, not that I don't like Diterlizzi's works.

>>12622572
I'm guessing he made a copy of the lineart layer, put it undernearth the lineart and gaussian blurred the hell out of it.

>>12621781
Wasn't there someone awhile who posted a script for a comic?

>>12619330
A drawing of my oc working at a maid cafe... gonna lineart it later.

Oh, and comments/criticism are pretty darn welcome.

Is there anyone here on the jay who could proofread and give constructive criticism on my VN script? All of my friends and acquaintances aren't native english speakers (or else too lazy to do it which I understand being a NEET), /evn/ on /vg/ is kill, and I'm wary of the SJWs on lemmasoft even though my VN has zero offensive content.

>>12623331
Give them some depth.
Look at real eyes.
Curve the pupils.
Fuck, I can't explain it real well.

>>12623429
Really need anatomy lesson. Otherwise the clean lines and shading and coloring are ok.

>>12623429
Anon, your melting people are starting to intrigue me. Can you show me your rough sketches? The problem is probably there.

>>12622842
You need to practice depth

>>12623696
Me too! What are good exercises on it?

>>12623789
Draw railroads and power lines?

>>12623789
Simple landscaping is pretty easy for a beginner. If depth through values is what you want to achieve, better learn proper values, shading and highlighting.

>>12623801
Communicating depth is more than just a matter of perspective and volume.

>>12623802
>learn proper values, shading and highlighting.
Varying line weight also helps.

>>12623802
Oh, I've done some stuff like this in the past. Can't do it with less cinematic stuff, like single characters or closed spaces though.

>>12623832
are those giant gophers running from tiny, leaking box among a field of broccolis?

>>12623832
Your piece only has one value in shading. Learn to make use of different colors and try to avoid using the multiply blend as its cheap and may not always show the colors you wanted it to. Also remember that shades can be achieved not by using black but by using a darker color of its complementary/analogous color. e.g.: Base green uses yellow as highlight and blue as shade. Or something like that, been awhile since I had to remember those.

>>12623832
Well if you're uncomfortable with medium-large landscapes, try to master what you feel comfortable with.

>>12623845
Oh, it wasn't a painting exercise, I just threw some colors in. The focus was perspective.
Here is an attempt to conceive depth with only 3 tones.

>>12622944
It just requires a lot of time, and patience, I think I sat about 8 hours on the first one (I didn't have any knowledge about form or lights at the time)

Same with pic related, had no clue what I was doing at the time

Right, the straightness looks kind of strange. I shall try sketching one of my shoes tonight.
>>12622572
>>12622686 is exactly what I do. I just think it gives a nice effect and makes the lines look cleaner if you're not going to add color.

Oh, you mean the Downtown theme?
Weird thing, but that's kinda good to hear. Thanks.

The metal version is completely different though. And turned out quite boring.

Random sketch

I've made a picture of エボラちゃん!

>>12622182
I read through the rest. The story is not very good but it's not cringe worthy either. I've enjoyed much worse stories. Could turn out pretty good with good writing in the final product. I think, despite the dark undertone, that an easy non-complicated writing style would fit best. Of course, an unfitting writing style could turn this quite into an edgy cringe fest, so watch out if you want to take it further. Not saying that it shouldn't be depressing in the right spots.

>>12622766
Do you mean
>>12622916 ?
In that case I found the fairy comic-scripts cute.

>>12622842
Cute drawings, will you make a comic out of it? Either way I would like to see more.

>>12622916
>>12623345
I like the story and general mood but I find it a bit wierdly written at times. But since I'm not a native, I may not be used to some writing styles.
The last sentence for example reads wierd to me. I do understand what happens, it just reads wierd, like a word is missing.

You know a lot of artist in the past actually wished that they were blind. I forgot why though. Something about blind people visualizing things better I think.

GARY PROVOST ~ "The Writer's Writer"

This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It's like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals--sounds that say listen to this, it is important.

>>12624714
Thank you. It was a humbling experience.

>>12625581
Noted, but are there any sections in particular that stand out to you as having the problem, or does this apply to the work as an entirety?

>>12625658
I'm not him but honestly if I were you I'd try reading once more what you've written, and pay attention on to how feel it flows. See if you repeat the same sentence pattern too often, etc.

Twisted bowels.

>>12625658
The dialogs (including the lines between them, i.e. "Nue nodded") are mostly short, but this hardly bothered me - what set me off were the consecutive long sentences. I fall into this exact pitfall way to often too, I need to read it again and break it up in smaller sentences regularly.

>>12625735
Alright, I'll give another look to the sentence structure. Like I said, this was written in segments over a long time, so apparently it was as disjointed as I feared.
As for the dialogue, that's just something I need to work on, to give characters more human interactions, especially in shorter works.
Which would probably make a good center point for my next story/script/writin'.

>>12625672
Is it pierced and bleeding

>>12626591

yes.

Does this look like a fluid pose? I'm trying not to draw things so stiff.

>>12626754
it looks stiff as a manequin

>>12626596
I'm not an expert, but shouldn't there be a bit of an upward curve for the fingers on the right hand? It seems like bending the wrist and straightening the fingers share a muscle and doing both puts an unusual strain on it.

>>12626758
goddamn it
time to explore pixiv to figure out what the hell to do

>>12626596
You don't show any competency or understanding in this drawing to justify its rough style. It comes across as lazy and inexperienced experimentation, not deliberate.

>>12626765
Practice gestural drawing if you are having trouble with stiffness.

>>12626596
nigga if you're gonna post glitch art at least do it right

>>12626596
>>12625226
What's with you guys overfiltering lazy work to make it look less shit?

>>12626781

>>12625226 is nice though...

>>12626781
you're half right

>>12626795 >>12626801
Don't be so easily fooled by good colors and brushwork. Of course they're at different levels, but they're doing the same thing to dodge from using their actual potential.

>>12626825
They clearly aren't.

Why is this so damn hard

>>12626886
Make some quick, sketchy studies of the poses you want before making the structured version, that might help you with stiffness. I'm in the same boat, and it will fail most of the time, but the times it works make it worth it.

My personal hint is to never go on if you think it's bad at first glance. Erase it and do it again until it looks somewhat dynamic. We tend to stick with the first attempt as if there was no other way of doing it, and a reset in early stages of production doesn't cost much time.

>>12626825
>Don't be so easily fooled by good colors and brushwork.

You mean, the things that are generally used to judge skill in good artwork?! Gasp!

Stop being stupid, you know Sleepy's got a pretty high capacity for effort if you've been in these threads for any amount of time at all. Considering he's doing these almost daily, I would not expect it to have an insane amount of polish.

>>12625226
I find the glitch effect you did rather lazy and think it took more from the picture than it added. If you want to glitch I think you should either make it more distorted and varied than just a few misplaced blocks or make less but more incorporated effects. Don't know if that made sense to you but I can't describe it better.

>>12627459
He probably knows the artist under the name bitch-tan and assumes sleepy is another person.
The other piece is from bokusatsu as far as I can tell.

thank you for the resource! I'll try some the other techniques and see which one works best for me.

>>12624379
>quite boring
Try playing with number of lines. You do 4 lines every time and it gets predictable.
If you suddenly don't insert a fourth one, or make it shorter/longer than it should, people will be thrown off and this is a good attention grabber. Just be sure to correctly connect it with the next section.

>>12621342
Is that the PianoOne VST? I love using it.
I don't think it feels cheesy, but rather hispanic. Which it IS in fact, so yeah, you moved the music from generic piano style to ay caramba.
The melodies evolve in an interesting way, I just feel the intro doesn't connect very convincingly into the main music, specifically the note played at 00:16. I was expecting something else, not sure how to put it.

>>12628186
Not much of a structure, so I feel at loss. The textures are pretty tasty though.

>>12618628
>>12622396
Next try with the shoes. It's the typical little girl kind of shoes that everyone knows and likes.
I'll try to be a bit more bold with the poses from now on.

Nice drawing.

>>12628532
Thanks, Anon-oniichan.
But seriously, I wish to sketch from the real little girl. I probably wouldn't be able to concentrate, though

>>12628503
Next try with the rest of the body.
Just kidding, nice shoes.

>>12628594
Thanks, will do. I just feel like practising certain parts seperately helps a lot. Of course there's no point if you don't know how to integrate and draw them together.

Whatever happened to that crinkles guy who posted music here sometimes?

Shit I'm so fucking cold I can't draw

Wanna swap? 40ºC here. If I open the windows or turn on the lights, bugs. If I turn off the lights, mosquitoes. And bugs on my screen. People in the neighborhood keep setting fire to the forest nearby, ashes and strong smell everywhere.

My new headphones arrived and they suck ass, can't listen to C86 stuff yet.

Life is suffering.

>>12628976
For me its a deal. until a couple years ago. I was one of those guys that goes around in tshirt when it snows. I couldn't even move during summer. suddenly, everything reversed, and now I can go take a walk at 12.00 on august under the sun. I just sweat, that's all.
but shit, now if I sit still for five fucking minutes I get cold hands even with 40ºC
you know nothing about burnt smell pissing you off. there's a fucking coffee toasting plant here. two times a week its like living into a giant ashtray.
bugs are an added bonus though. mosquito bite doesn't last even five minutes on me

I've been slowly attempting to link the water with the surface and sky. I think this works for but I may try something more details later when everything gets polished. I guess now I should focus more on getting programming done seeing how it's the hardest part.

Also does anyone know how to make webms look better throughout? This one starts off fine but gets worse as it continues. I use this:

ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -c:v libvpx -b:v 100M -an surface.webm

That seems like a good piece of advice. The lack of creative transitions is what puts me off the most, though. But I don't really know how to change the tempo.
>>12628503
Somehow, your ability to draw specific body parts is better than drawing the whole body. Which is weird considering how hard I find it to draw shoes.
>>12628323
Thanks. Asian in what way though?

Something else I made.

>>12629129
>>12629124

That seems more for people who don't know how to use the command prompt.

I don't understand why my movement isn't working properly. I have code that says if the buttons aren't being pressed he should slow down to a stop. I think I should just set a maximum horizontal speed. It's a real mess.

The only music related to the board I could share is this one, done some months ago:
https://soundcloud.com/ibuki-san/slumber-devil
Haven't been feeling inspired to arrange again.

About your question yes. Music requires either some decent capture or learning DAWs/music theory. Programming requires programming.
Drawing is something everyone can try with a pencil or even the mouse.
Writing is even easier, but draws little attention so not everyone does it.

Music is not actually THAT hard to give a noob shot, but it's more intimidating

>>12629132
I'm trying to be optimistic, so I keep coming back to check.

>>12629138
It was probably just me, but it was the way eyes were that made him seem a little Asian

>>12629459
Probably because if your music/programming was at the same level as >>12629437 and friends you'd have literally nothing to post

>>12629794
Is that an insult

>>12629828
And not even a good one. Even the most basic Java fiddlers can come up with some silly visual application.

>>12629794
Isn't the beauty of programming being able to post working results without people knowing how bad your code is?

>>12629837
I was talking about my picture though (because I'm an attention whore)

>>12629897
But that's irrelevant to the insult's logic, since even stickman level would be enough of a parallel with a programmer who has something to show.

And well, your stuff isn't bad, just flat. A programmer your level would make some enjoyable games at Newgrounds and the rating nigger would be smiling.

>>12629915
How is it flat? Mind giving me some constructive criticism? (I'm not angry by the way - I want to improve)

Also, I know nothing of programming outside of basic HTML, sadly

>>12629937
>How is it flat?
Dude, are you high as kite? Like, there is less indication of depth than on a knock-off kiddie pool.

>>12629950

>>12629997
All of my stuff sans pixel art is drawn with a tablet, nerd

>>12629937
Don't listen to the bullies anon, I think your drawing is great!

>>12629992
I'm not the guy, but here's a crude demonstration.
One object has volume, the other doesn't.

>>12629340
>(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.A) && Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.D)

Keeping in mind I've never used c# in particular, let alone with unity, this looks like it will
A: Trigger only if A & D are released at the same time
B: Trigger only at that one moment they are released

From what I gather from quickly reading up, what you're trying to do is add an acceleration to something. I have no idea how this works without experience using it, but presumably it should be decelerating it to 0 and I can only further presume this works without a loop. Thus, I think A is probably the problem, based on my limited understanding of what the problem is.

>I have code that says if the buttons aren't being pressed he should slow down to a stop.
Doesn't actually say if it's slowing down at all or not, I mean.

***Since writing this, I looked up C# and it looks like && does work a little different in it, in that instead of needing A and D to be released (&), If D is released and A isn't, it'll be considered false just on the basis of A not having been released, regardless of if D was released or not. (Which is the same effect but still different enough to note.)

If this is the problem, then you could probably use OR instead of AND, since it'll go through both things if either key has been released, or just seperate them into seperate ifs for each key.

You might also wanna make

into

If they're gonna always be the same speeds, so you don't have to go back and change that part if you change he speed.

Also, why are some of those vector3 instead of vector2 like in the first half of the movement part?

Doesn't the first one covers the second?

>>12630593
I think you can write about sex as long as it's not graphic. So no porn. The rule about rape is a bit unclear to me. Is it okay if it's not glorified and not graphic?

And the last one: "anything inappropriate".

>>12630627

it's a 2D game but I don't know why I kept changing between the two.

I remember a while back (2009) there was an idea of a game where you would date female personifications of deadly viruses inside your own body. I even wrote a short story introduction for it. Did anything ever come of it?

>>12631027
i blame /a/ being in jp

>>12631237
Of course not. I think it was brought up in those /jp/ project threads a while ago but those were hated into oblivion.

>>12631237
No, but the character designs for that were nice. I wish I still kept them.

I recall that the Ebola route was supposed to create a sudden epidemic after you completed it. That would've been pretty damn prophetic, if anything had come out of that thing.

>>12631751
I don't think its the case.
give it a rest for a week or so

>>12631751
The thread is still page 6 and we generally wait at least until the thread dies which can still take a few days. Normally a new thread is made a few days to weeks after the old one has died.

>>12631780
>>12631775
Right, got it. Thank you very much for the quick response.

>>12631237
That's actually a pretty neat and skewed idea. Projects like these needs to be nurtured and cared for. If its still going, and help is needed in the graphics department, I'd like to volunteer my help.

>>12632964
Wait until that forced ebola shit dies down, else the game will be irredeemable shit.

Love it. The cicada sound in the background is a really nice touch and carries a lot of emotion. Calming and mysterious, but also sad. Kind of reminds me of Higurashi.
May I ask what software you use? Also, can you recommend any good tutorials? I'm really interested in music, but I can never quite get started.

Hah, was just watching it
fl studio, but each daw has its own workflow style
(howtomakeemusic and warbeats' are great channels to start)

Here's a list of the main DAWs out there:

- Ableton
- Fl studio
- Reason (Only really works with a midi keyboard tbh)
- Pro Tools
- Bitwig (Includes online capability to collab with other producers in realtime)
- Cubase

Mac:
- Pro Tools
- Logic

go take a look at some random daw reviews if you've got the time; if it helps the daw with the most tutorials available tends to have the shallowest learning curve :)

>>12634146
btw, thanks for listening. Good ear with the cicadas :)

>>12634254
>>12634270
Sure thing. And thanks, I'll definitely check out those channels. I got FL installed, but the GUI is a little intimidating with all the tiny buttons.

>>12634295
yeah, afraid there's no workaround that :/

if it helps, fl displays the values of whatever your tweaking/hovering at the top left side of the screen.

>>12633920
I like it. I'd love to hear more.

Damn, if my game was further along and had the cash I'd actually want to hire you for work on it. Maybe you'll be here in a few years time.

What would you want to see us post? I don't have any games yet. You want to see some calculations done with /jp/-related variable names?

what happened with the /jp/ music project?
did it die or are they currently preparing a new CD?

>>12635690
Was there a new one?

>/jp/ music project
if you don't see them around, probably they're working hard to finish it.
just like any /jp/ project ever existed

Glad to read that, anon, it's reassuring. Since I don't have any exposure, I can't tell whether I'm doing things right.

>>12635690
This sounds interesting, what was the project? With enough participation there could be a symbolic Comiket release, like those german Babbe guys do.

you need more than a single positive cmment if you really want to know if you're doing it right

Do more songs like the one you have at the top. Dusk or whatever it was.

>>12635821
Well, one is more than zero, right?

Actually I have a WIP on that. I've done this inspired by Bakemonogatari's Shinobu in Season 1.

A song about being reduced into a fragment of your former, powerful self. Haven't touched the project to finish it for about a month now, the later bits are just chords and still no melody.
