This turned out really weird and choppy, I don't know if I'll finish it or not.

>>15460442
How do you get your lineart so clean? It looks great

Couple short stories I did for friends' birthdays

Short story about Mokou

Shorter story about the dangers of consorting with corndog girls
http://pastebin.com/drRqpeXp

I wrote a script for the urchins to move in circles and I can set the amount, the distance between each other and speed. It should make for an interesting obstacle. The skull is just a visual of the center. It's all self contained so I can move the skull object and it'd all follow. Maybe I can use the code for something else too. I also kind of want to make fish circles maybe of barracudas later on. Not sure.

>>15461804
And in action.

>>15461909
damn, that's pretty good
that wonky lighting on a couple of the sea urchins but still

>>15461939

It was because a couple of them were overlapping and fighting for z-level priority. The ones that don't look weird are how they should look (and do once I removed the overlapping ones) Now that they're done this area just needs some nice decoration. I'm hoping to get a demo out in July so people can try it out and let me know what they think.

>>15461951
ever tested some sort of gradient lighting where the sprites gets gradually brighter the shallower they go?

>>15461960
oh wait i think i see it, just very subtle and inconsistent

>>15461960
>>15461965

The lights are actual light sources in the unity engine. It's the best I could muster because having lightness be related to your y position would ruin some of the later maps. Plus the point lights do allow for mood setting which is nice.

>>15461909
Very nice, how long have you worked on this?

I've been working on a piece of original content for a while. I've been posting it somewhere else and have gotten a lukewarm response. I hope you enjoy it but if you don't, that's okay too.

In any case, without further ado...

Ota fanzine attempts its 4chan /jp/ debut!

In this issue:
- Touhou vs kancolle continues. This time, we look at music production while updating our weekly pixiv fanart production graphs.
- Translated doujin previews!
- A shocking article! What do the panama papers have to do with Kousaka Honoka?
- A brand new videogame! Read the article for further details, including where to download it and a contest with a great prize on the line!

Get it here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ly348kk04jgokyo

Note: Unfortunately, it seems like there were some problems with the bundled videogame. Due to a coding mishap, the mouse mode isn't working properly… As such, only the keyboard mode is playable in this version. Seeing as the contest's winners would be the best scorer in keyboard mode and the best scorer in mouse/touchscreen mode, the rules of the contest must be changed… Now, the big prize will be awarded to the first and second best scorers in the keyboard mode.

>>15462582
Uh, I don't have a numpad.

>>15461909
This feels so much like Aquaria.

>>15460017
I like this.

>>15460920
Thank you, but i think my linework is really poor :(

Did this for someone's birthday.
Under the ribbon i drew a skull with scythe that says "i'm getting closer"

>>15463232
heh

Also, cute slut

>>15462898

I've never actually played that. Was it nice?

>>15463232
You tease.

>>15462989
Very pretty lines.

>>15463232
Impressive pencilwork. I wish I was on your level.

One of my favorites.

>>15463232
Isn't that the sister from No Game no Life?

>>15462989
The hands, feet, overall anatomy and linework are impressive, the whole thing is by you? I wonder if you'll able to do a coloring and shading on the same level though.

But if I needed to point out something, the hairs looks nice but the lines of it looks really unfinished compared to the body.

Remember that closing your lines properly will make you gain a lot of time for the coloring thanks to the fill tool.

>>15466108
Yes

>>15466118
Yes the hair lines are not ready yet. Or I'm not sure if I want to try something new with them. Here's the last thing I colored but it was for a quick project so the colors and lines are dashed. Tits warning https://a.pomf.cat/eupmet.png

The clams shoot. I was considering making the pearls react to light the same way everything else does but it wouldn't be fair if in a dark area you got hit by something you couldn't really see.

>>15468927
Try it but give them a faint glow, kinda like some of the bullets in 2hus.

>>15468948

Like one of these images?

>>15468962
The first superbright one looks pretty cool, but the second image would give it the "looks like its still in a dark area while not being bullshit invisible", and probably keep the same normal look in bright areas.

>>15468730
Picture reminds me of the Kaiba anime.

>>15470783
While simple, it's very clean looking. It wouldn't look out of place in some ad for some current season anime.

I will try writing a story.

Prolouge:
I died, killed by a man-eating dog. He barked at me a few times and gave me a heart attack. When I came to, I was lying down a grassy field in the middle of the day. A girl with dog ears was looking at me. "Are you okay?" she asked while tilting her head on one side. Moments passed then she left when I didn't answer. "A girl with dog ears? This must be a different world, I got reincarnated!" I thought. In this new life that was given to me, I will do things right. But not today. I lay there until night came. Then a three headed dog suddenly spawned near me and gave me a heart attack.

>>15470783
Fuck kiri

>>15472673
Fuck you.

>>15472683
The leather club is two threads down the catalog buddy

A little experiment with the pixel tool in SAI. How did I do?

I was going for a yandere vibe, wanted to shade it but I couldn't figure out where I wanted the lighting in the scene to come from, so oh well.

hey /jp

We should get back to writing "OC #number" on these OP pics, I just found this thread now.

>>15475349
Just use the catalog and order it by creation date.

>>15460920
You can attenuate this effect by never letting the animation to "freeze". Draw a copy of any frame that needs repetition, so it gets that constant shake effect.

>>15461909
How about each center having a different speed, making the challenge of switching circles a bit more dynamic?

>>15468305
Because you don't practice it in order to keep it alive.
I want you do draw a little girl fighting with a duck right now.

>>15468730
Nice sounds! Mixing is not yet there, where is the thump?

>>15468927
Make the outline always 100% visible, but the interior affected by light. Best of two worlds. The gif ones are also cool.
And the inner parts of the clams being blue still triggers me.

>>15474139
There is still love for the Teto!

Gladly you failed.

A bit of manliness for a change.

>>15480039
That nipple really bugs me. Personally, I'd put it a little bit lower and slightly stretch it out horizontally.
Also, if you flip the image horizontally, you'll see that the crown has no vertical symmetry.

I really like how you rendered his skin, though.

>>15480039
You're good, but there's always something that bugs me in your drawings and I can't really point what it is.

Hey, how do I create original characters?
everytime i try i end up just making knockoffs of already existing ones.

>>15480637
You must first understand that your brain can only assemble characters from pieces that you've already seen.

Then you embark on the journey to see as much stuff as you can, not only rare stuff like exotic animals, cultures and places, but also things that form your immediate surrounding. Take notice of the shape of things, their colors, small details, everything. Draw some inspiration from your favorite artists, too.

That's pretty much it.

>>15480593
Indeed, tried to fix the crown as much as I could, should have checked its shape beforehand, and then forget to verify with the flip.

Moved the nipple a bit lower but don't think I should change its shape like you said though.

>>15480723
So basically, i have to mince and mix the things i copied instead than putting it in huge chunks?

>>15480741
If you ask me, you should put yourself in front of a mirror without shirt and watch how male nipples look from side
I mean, since nipple is basically a circle, from side it should be an ellipse since its on the front of pectoral muscles
or something like that

>>15480747
All I'm saying is that in order to make something that stands out you've got to accumulate a sizable "visual library" in your mind.
Which "parts" to use and how to use them - it's completely up to you.

>>15480637
Take inspiration from your life experiences and feelings. If you try to create something original you will fail because what seems original to you is what you do not understand yet. In ignorance you will get it wrong and any originality it seemed to have will disappear because it was false.

When you create something by doing what works best for you from your unique experiences, others will appreciate your work and find it meaningful. And more importantly, you'll enjoy what you create and the mistakes that you make because everything you do drives you foward to your true potential.

For instance, let's say you want to make a game. Forget about who's going to see it and ask yourself, what do you want to create? What world do you want to experience? What characters do you want to meet? Then expand your awareness. What kind of clothes would they really wear in this world? How would other people perceive them? What kind of relationship would they have with people in the town with that personality? Pay attention to how things influence each other and adjust them so they feel right.

When you continue asking questions and thinking about potential outcomes, you'll find the best. And after purging what's unnecessary it becomes beautiful.

>>15481727
I don't think I'm intelligent enough to do that

Hi /jp/ I'm kinda drunk. I wanted to say that you are my friend and i think you have great qualities you're a good person /jp/ and i hope you can achieve the thing you want ir live a comfy neet life surrounded by the things you love if that's what you want. i wisj i ciuld shake your hand once because after all i really feel at home here and for soneobe who have no family like me maybe it doesn't nean anything for you but its kind of important for me knowing that you're always here.
thanks /jp/ for beng my friend.

>>15481782
Anytime dude
This is our easy place, and I hope that you and all my friends continue to be nice and easy

>>15481782
This is really heartwarming, thanks and you too.
Now take it easy and go to sleep before you embarrass yourself.

>>15480637
Look at a bunch of hairstyles, real and drawn, and draw some you like. Think up what sort of character would have that kind of hairstyle. Make changes to it and go with what kind of clothes they would wear from their personality. Since you're most likely drawing Japanese-esque stuff, it's like 33% hair design, 33% eye shape, 33% hair and face accessories/quirks.

Don't try too hard. Some twintail loli will probably turn out better than a loli with 4 buns, glasses, nosering and bandage on her cheek.

The hermit in game. Might need some tweaking on his animations.

>>15482338
Those eyes make him look silly.

>>15482338
i think that this hermit crab is fine and fits right in theme, but for some reason i'm a bit worried you might stray too far from the general weird feeling of these creatures. please keep your deep dwellers in mind. you're doing good work.

>>15482530

Oh don't worry, there's plenty of space for the more strange areas.

> paint-over

Eh, not really sure where you take that from and for which part but that's definitely not the case. And I don't particularly feel like the body is better than the rest here, if anything I'll more remember what I did for some bits of the face, the horn and the tiny emblem below the head.

someone post the distressed ms paint suika thank you

>>15480741
>>15484878
You're doing a one-shot or some kind of story with your characters, right? How far along are you? I'm looking forward to it.

On a related note, has anyone here actually managed to fully complete a one-shot/doujinshi of their own? I feel like I've attempted it over a dozen times but I always lose motivation partway through.

>>15487689
He's always in the /vg/ game threads or so he says.

Why do you have to keep tainting my wife with huge grotesque dicks?

>>15486702
it will be much longer than a one shot, between one and two volumes of a classic manga I guess. A big part of it will be focused on the art , so I'm still at preparing stuffs like the characters design and how I should deal with the whole thing, since I'll need to stay consistent through the pages.

The end goal would include a large scale demon army, lots of fights (human sized melee, magic stuff, and giant sized creatures), detailed gore, lewd, the exploration of a big castle, and some other stuffs.

The whole plot is already defined , but I'm still just working on storyboards. It will play with cliche of generic JRPG settings like DQ1 while still having a proper story along with comedy/dark humor.

Aside from the fact it's a story I want to do that'll force myself a bit to draw stuffs I never really did before.

>>15488054
I was going to say her little tiara thing makes her look like a Dragon Quest character, but then I read your description and it's clear that is intended.

>>15488066
Yeah. She's also supposed to have a cape and a legendary sword (though she doesn't have it anymore for plot reasons) to complete the look, trying to give off obvious references while still doing my own thing.

>>15488054
I welcome any wild heroine with a striped turtleneck sweater design. Godspeed, anon.

>>15488054
It seems like you're pretty passionate about it, which is great to hear.
I've got my own stories I want to tell as well, but I'm going to make a couple one-shots before attempting any multi-chapter works. I need to prove to myself that I can actually see something through to completion for once.

Anyways, good luck, anon. Hope to see more of your work soon.

>>15487335
Nice. I'm not really too much of a fan of futa myself, but I don't mind when artists insert their fetishes and wildest fantasies into their drawings. It's fun to speculate about what/how they think through their art, if that makes any sense.

>>15486702
Never started one cause I'm not sure what story I want to use out of all the ones I've thought of and wrote down. I want to make something I like but I know other people will enjoy(and also something I could show my friends without them thinking I'm weird. They would be happy either way that I made something though). Chances are that I'll make a one shot with a cliffhanger and see how it goes from there. Obviously going to post here because you guys like this type of shit and will make a tumblr later on to post it and my other artwork. I'm a decent artist but I only use pencils cause I'm dirt poor and my parents don't buy me everything like everyone else, so I got a part time job. I could see myself releasing a short 30-ish pages in 5months to a year from now that would be easy to continue if I think that the story has potential and I get some good feedback. All my time is spent working 20-40hours a week and practising every few days whenever I have time. I wonder how good I'll be once I start....

Moray manor. I fixed a few things about them. Basically instead of calculating the distance between the player and itself it calculates the distance between a child object that's in front of its face to determine when to charge. I might tweak it all so it can be like the urchins and I can make some faster and some slower for later levels.

This webm is so hypnotizing.
How are you going about the levels? I notice some kind of repeating structure but it's not tiled. I'd like to make something similar.

>>15491701

Ferr2D for unity allows for terrain that doesn't have to be blocky in nature and has smooth pathing. It's good for the organic feel.

>>15489341

>>15475381
Thanks for the advice!

>>15491530
Have you really never played Aquaria? I'm getting some vibes of it in this webm, especially the leap through the air.

I'd recommend you play it, if only for some outside ideas and to see what worked and what didn't in another person's work.

>>15492803

I actually don't know much about it besides what people here have told me. Someone else suggested that I should check it out but I haven't. I should watch a longplay or something to check it out.

re-added land bouncing. Is a bit goofy but I will try to make it so you can push up too high. The problem with addforce is you need to ensure your current vector is zero but that is simple enough to do.

Wow, you have a lot of bandcamps. I look forward to see more of your work.

>>15496595
This is starting to look really good. Can't wait to try the demo.

>>15501951
This is starting to look really comfy. You could bump up the brightness on the rock so that the controls read better.

>>15502233
I love this so much! Do you have a blog?

>>15501951
This is really nice, but I feel like the recoil on bumping something should be a lot lower. It would just flow better, since nobody wants to have wait time added to defeating obstacles--they'd just go around them if destroying them is tedious.

>>15501951
Looking good.
Mine will also be ready since there's 48 hours to submit, it'd be nice if I could make it on time for the 8th though. Maybe I'll pull an all-nighter.

The anatomy is a bit wonky, especially Okuus arm and Tenshis shoulder. Nice, easy-going colours though and a good choice of motive.

I can't really do something proper at the moment.

Now this is the kind of metal I like. It sounds a bit reminiscent of Artillery.

>>15506406
Comfy and immersive! After bouncing on a ballon and entering a cave, then jumping a distance on land, I found a secret(?) cookie. Did it do something? Then I got eaten by morays ;_;

>>15507243

You need the second coin which is at the first offshoot. both of them make a crystal that you can then go into a cave with more morays. It's just a small thing to show the idea that it's something that could be in the game.

I'm glad people aren't getting stuck on the flat rock part. I guess when there's only one 'action' button it's obvious which one will help.

If you experienced any problems let me know. I've been told a few so far, some I'm not even sure how I would even fix. When I release the next demo people will be able to use their controller completely to move the jellyfish around. some people said they like it more than just WASD and it would allow for more precision. Plus gamepads are better for such a game.

I need to find more ways to vary gameplay to keep people interested although the game itself might not be all that long but that would just mean a more action packed game. Kind of like those old rocket knight games if possible.

Great game, dude. Looking forward to more levels and puzzles and such.

Did a thing.

>>15506406
Ohhh, so you're going for Crash Bandicoot 3's style of underwater stages!
I like it, it's a very fun approach. The only thing that needs tweaking, fun-wise, is how hard it is to hit things, specially when you miss, because you have to steer (slowly) and re-aim. If you look into Crash's spin, it acts as a shortcut for the steering, making you immediately go towards the direction you want. It's a nice way to keep control of what you're doing even if the movement is slow.

- Steering is too slow to control;
- Jump should have a minimum forward momentum, even if pressed without moving;
- It's a bit unclear when my jump cooldown is over;
- Managed to both kill star and be hit by it at the sime time with the afterburn of a jump;
- Idle animation takes a bit too long to start looping, the static pose is a bit jarring;
- Shat my pants with giant lobster on secret route;
- Pushable rock going behind corals looks bad;
- Music is subpar to the game;

If you want some kind of credentials to take a random anon complaining about controls seriously, I did master it well enough to jump over the starting hill (to the left) and circumvent the whole stage (I see your tile stitching! Ha!), reaching an area where the sky becomes swimmable. Too bad I got up the shore and couldn't leave it any longe, since it wasn't bounceable.
And yeah, I still think the steering (or at least a lack of cancel/forceful instant-switch) is a problem.

There could probably be other jumpable mountains around, I tried to follow lobster-sama a bit to no avail.

I will now try to swim up in the sky to see if I can jump over that steep mountain you put after the shore where I got stuck.

>>15508453
Yup, was able to do it and turns out I ended up at lobster-sama's part.
Took the coin and exited the secret route, but was able to re-enter since I didn't get in via the actual entrance. Then I wasn't able to quit because I had already "used" the exit once.

I really like how the sound of being hit changes pitch according with how low our health is, reminds me of Yoshi Story's sunflower health bar..

Also the first obstacles that teach us jumping have a weird jagged shape, me no like it.
I managed to get stuck in one of these, by the way, almost restarted the game but some advanced directional alternation got me unstuck. A normal player might not be able to get out.

I'm not sure whether or not the first eel is supposed to be invisible, but it's a sure-hit for a first-time player.

Also the first time I played I took the rock with me until the boss, but replaying I found out it was just meant as a way to go down the bubbles (which I didn't even notice the first time because I was already trying to take the rock with me. It's fun because the crab will suck it to the middle of the screen!

Managed to kill the crab and die at the same time - not exactly a problem, I did get in the way of the claws.

Didn't receive anything for killing every starfish and the crab without taking a hit. :(

FUN GAME!

Thank you for the input. The controls seem to be a big issue in general, even for me I think, and it's definitely the one part I will be revamping. I'm not sure if you've seen the newer rayman games but I like the way those control so I will try something like that. It will involve a more direct, less 'floaty' way of moving around.

I didn't know you could gain enough speed to get over those hills. I guess I will need to take that kind of thing into consideration in future.

I usually ever come to jp for Okuu threads, but this seems right up this thread's ally. It's a Japanese style shmup, the likes of which haven't been done since a Clinton was in office.

https://sinoc.itch.io/shmoop

>>15508453
I forgot to mention on my comment on itchio, but I managed to get stuck in the first area by getting sent back from the second. It's also possible to skip most of the level by propelling yourself off of clams.

>>15501972
Drop me an email. This might be used in a real shmup.

>>15509967

I went back to addforce and I found a way to make it tighter. Does it look better? Perhaps it's something you can only feel. it still needs a bit fo a tweak because I realized that my code for comparing the normalized vectors check isn't the best.

>>15506406
This is really cute, the art is very well done for the style you have going.
However, controls feel very floaty - especially when you start going fast, turning feels slow. Bouncing off things is a little hectic, you sorta fly off of things at the same speed you were going before.

Is the crab boss supposed to move his claws at you or something? He just seemed to try to suck the squid in, which made him real easy to hit.

Also, small suggestion - do you plan to have the squidslam as the only attack? If he's a squid, what about something like a blast of ink?

>>15510773

Thanks for the input. This post addresses the floaty-ness. >>15510749

He is a Jellyfish. I have considered a shocking attack but I am unsure or what else to have him do currently.

>>15510793
But - but he's not translucent, and he has an eye! Jellyfish don't have eyes!

I suppose I understand. I feel a little silly now.

>>15510793
Go play Aquarius, everything you're doing has already been
accomplished by that game, not to mention more effectively.

>>15510815

It's okay you're not the first person to say that. He does have more characteristics with a squid than a jellyfish but he is based off a jellyfish. A Scyphozoa, more specifically the golden jellyfish although they only live in one lake in Palul. There are similar ones in the open ocean but they are slightly different. I just liked the golden jellyfish so much I had to base it off of it.

>>15510860

I don't really want to be influenced too strongly by any one game by playing through all of it.

Can't you just tell me what you thought they did better instead of being ambiguous about it?

>>15510903
>I don't want to be influenced too strongly
Your work does not exist in a bubble. If one thing doesn't influence you, another will. You've clearly been influenced by Crash Bandicoot and and Ecco the Dolphin.

You shouldn't just play games in a similar vein to yours for ideas, you should play them because you can take a look at what worked, what was successful.

If it makes you feel any better, Aquaria is practically a different genre from your game. It's like an underwater Zelda game compared to your Ecco-like swimming exploration/action. I do believe you would benefit from seeing its level design and enemies, however.

Hi /jp/. I'm home.

>>15510970
>If it makes you feel any better, Aquaria is practically a different genre from your game. It's like an underwater Zelda game compared to your Ecco-like swimming exploration/action. I do believe you would benefit from seeing its level design and enemies, however.

Oh. maybe I will look for it then. The issue in agdg right now is people seem as if my game should control in a manor that sounds awful and it's starting to tick me off. They seriously think A & D should rotate the jellyfish and W should push it forward. It just wouldn't work.

>>15510815
>Jellyfish don't have eyes!
They actually do have something akin to eyes.

I made an alternate download (v0.12) with the new controls to see how people like it.

https://itch.io/jam/agdg-demo-day-9/rate/74897

You can also set it up to use a controller completely now just set the horizontal, vertical and the 'charge' button in the input menu on unity's pregame thing.

>>15512257
I'm the anon who made these posts >>15508453 >>15508851
This feels a lot better! I managed to beat it pretty quickly, the controls didn't get in the way.
And they don't kill the sensation of swimming either.

I'm not sure if it's perfect, but it's surely improved and has entered the fun status on the scale.

As for the attack discussion, I'll mention Crash again - his spin not only gave forward momentum and attacked the enemy, but his sides also dealt damage (because it's a spin), you can make the electricity envelop Jellyfish in order to make the damaging area more broad.

The thing I said before about having a minimum forward momentum is more related on hitting close targets. Sometimes you won't have enough space to press directional keys long enough to apply a jump, but if there was a minimum momentum, one could aim by pressing very lightly and then pressing J alone..

The secret crystal level showed up this time, I think it wasn't there on previous release, let me check. Nope, it was there all along. But damn, I already miss the new controls.

As for anons asking for this "turret mode" style of moevement, don't.
It is a fun way of playing lots of games, but will mess up the quick direction changes we're currently able to do, which is an useful skill here. It will kinda go back to the previous "slippery" feel, I believe.

>>15511738
Ah, I had an inkling it was you!

>>15513157

Thank you for the reply! It's nice to know the controls are moving in the right direction. I will need to tweak the way the character rotates but that concept of lining up and then pressing J should be in the next demo. I'm not sure when I plan to make that perhaps in a mother or so when I have more content to have people try out and give more feedback.

Bemup.

>>15515770
Played it thrice. On the last one I got to the boss killing everything (except for one clamper from that 2-clamper 1-witch part) then started dying like a retard, but I do think it's beatable without taking a hit, in time.

Something is making me lose control very easily, I'm not sure if it's related to the bullets or the commands per se. Maybe it's the resolution/speed, I'm used to Touhou's slow surviving-and-grazing.

Well done, dude!

I tried the starting of a song. Perhaps it doesn't seem like it fits the underwater too much but it could work for a more action part of the game.

>>15516853
Nice, sounds like the menu music of some old megadrive game.

Dunno if I ever shared this with you when this was on my soundcloud /jp/, but here is a cute little thing that I made to cheer myself up a few months ago.

https://clyp.it/ivrkrun2

>>15516126
Thanks for playing anon, I didn't think it was possible to kill that many.

>>15512257
That was really fun! I like the new controls.

One thing to note is that I finished the entire thing without realizing you could kill things by boosting into them, didn't realize that was a thing till I read the thread. Maybe make an area where you're forced to figure that out (blocked by starfish entirely).

I also didn't figure out you could use the block to go down the area with bubbles until I'd beat the game twice just boosting down there. Maybe I'm just an idiot.

I keep getting stuck at the jumping part where there's two short jumps consecutively, 'cause the ledge model is flat topped so you get stuck on top.

>>15519115

I liked the part at 40 seconds and 1:18 but the other parts felt like they went of for just a little too long considering there weren't many instruments.

>>15521481

Thank you for playing. These 3 big issues are actually the ones I seemed to get the most. It seems like player direction and guidance needs to be tightened up. I will be sure to be more careful about map collision in future.

>>15507742
Continued it, tweaked a few stuffs and added some shading.

>>15521550

I don't really understand why so many digital artists stay so much time on a single drawing. I mean, you have infinite canvas at your disposal, isn't easier to just make another one trying to do better?
Once its finished, its finished. changing minor details at the end doesn't help you avoid repeating the mistakes you made

>>15521916
It's not a bad drawing, it's actually quite good and serviceable. Many manga-kas have started with worse art.

Besides, you improve a heap of other skills by finishing the drawing properly.

>>15521916
Doing the whole shading isn't "changing some minor details", what are you even talking about? Besides the fact it hardly took me a long time, wanted to finish the lines because I was leaving for 2 days, came back yesterday, did the shading and tweaked a few other stuffs, that's it. You sounds like you never drew digitally.

>>15521916
>so much time
3 days, a week, even a couple of weeks is not a long time to spend on a drawing. That's really normal. Not that it's in the same category, but it took like four years for the Mona Lisa. It really doesn't matter how much time you spend, as long as you learn something.

>>15511738

Every time I make a song for my game it sounds wildly different to the last one.

https://clyp.it/wm5da3a1
https://clyp.it/eq1epfj0
https://clyp.it/mvamiytg

Is there any way to help make them all sound similar? I imagine making all the instruments be the same will help to a degree.

>>15513157
>As for anons asking for this "turret mode" style of moevement, don't.
The problem is, because it rotates, it gives you the impression that you're rotating him with the controls and does make you want to press the button you were holding before to keep moving. It's really disorienting, but I think the opposite should be done and the rotation dropped so you just immediately move left when going left and immediately move right when going right.

Probably the source of the problem is that you maintain momentum when turning, so you do essentially hold, say, down to go in a direction and use left and right to wiggle maneuver. Then you want to change direction and it feels weird because you're still moving in the original direction for a while and then it feels like you're circling.

>>15525996
That person being a drawfag is the main reason they could be so mad at the other artist, imo.
In art school a friend of mine's webcomic got famous and another one makes a living off selling her art at conventions, so I can empathize with that bitter jealousy Not excusing it, but artists commonly judge their own works based on others's art and other's success, so I could see that being a catalyst for >>15528594's continuous (and very specific) anger at this one artist in general.
Not saying it's okay, but I think most artist's have a time where they will get angry at their own art not reaching a certain standard and become bitter and lash out seeing other artist's success in comparison to their own self belittling. Most people grow out of this and realize that they really aren't all that upset at one person for making art and reaching goals, but are upset at themselves. It's so hard to get passed your own negative thoughts, but you can do it,>>15528594. We're all different types of artists sharing our work of various levels on a board community for a subject we enjoy, so let's get along and try our best.
I still have to stop myself from making hateful posts like this person, and it's hard, but you can get better. Raging at people is an easy habit to get into, especially when you're a NEET and you have the 'secret club' /jp/ mentality, because it's the only thing you have in your life. But berating people online only gets you worked up into a tizzy and continues a into negative spiral. It seems like life is only hateful and unhappy so you lash out, but you can be a happier person, Anon. You just have try. Next time you see an artist post that pissed you off, stop and think about why you feel the need to say such things and think on why you're really so angry. It helps to take a step back and think on the big picture.

>>15528646
Oh that's cute!

>>15528701
This is true, but also incredibly toxic. Calling out artists on their bitterness is fruitless unless they admit to being as such.

>>15528801
My apologies, I think was too harsh because I was projecting a lot. Anon could very well have a different reason to be mad. I shouldn't assume someone is bitter and write an essay about how their posts are wrong when I know nothing about this person. Re-reading my post, it's very pious and aggressive, which was not what I was going for at all.
Thanks for pointing out the toxicity, I'm trying to work on it.

>>15528594
I know how you feel, add to the fact even if the artist gets sugar coated advice how to improve their art they don't follow it or think that they don't have to.

This artist left /ic/ real quick, even with their shitposting they still have some constructive criticism here and there within the post. /jp/ seems to be the 'safespace' along with /a/ and /v/ for medicore artist with anons giving asspats all round.

perhaps anon meant in general, going to DA you see a medicore artwork and anatomy problems at the top or 'pic of the day' and the comments are a sea of 'this is so good' 'kawaii' etc then there's one comment of 'well the forearm or 'X' is a little off' and that one person who made the comment will be lynched by the artist and their 'fans'

>>15538734
It's just some mental notes about how I'm going over the story and adding more dialogue, but thank you for your interest.
One of the big criticisms I got was that characters were not fleshed out enough, so I wanted to make them feel more three dimensional. I'm doing that by adding more lines throughout the story, especially colorful ones that show who the characters are as people.

How does one incorporate Japanese influences into their style without becoming a soulless and flawed imitation like so many Deviantart weebs?

I've always wondered *why* the vast majority of western artists, even when they have styles obviously influenced by Japanese art, still have that undeniable "western" feel. Very few western artists are indistinguishable from Pixiv artists.

i tried today jaypee...

>>15541771
I don't know how to describe the coloring, but particularly Americans use really harsh contrasting colors. Most people see anime and think big eyes = anime, others think "I like anime, but I don't like this thing about anime" and so they use anime influences along with a whatever western things they think makes it look better. Sometimes this is more realistic anatomy. They also tend to use really, really even lines, even the people in this thread, instead of having any sort of difference in line thickness/line weight. There's also something about the way they place facial features that probably is due to racial differences in head shapes or just them being shit.

Above all, they tend to copy ANIME and not MANGA, so they draw in a really simplified style meant to be cheaply animated, instead of the more complex style of manga or good artists drawing static images.

Another real problem is a lot of them just don't put any fucking effort into their drawing. I don't think they're flawed imitations, even if they're soulless. There are shit Jap artists that draw the same. It's just lazy, shitty art.

One thing that bothers me is why a lot of eromanga(as in primarily draw eromanga), particularly doujin, artists look different from "legit" artists. There's some sort of thing but I don't know what it is.

>How does one incorporate Japanese influences into their style
If you want to look "Japanese", copy someone you like until you draw like them.

I really like it, but the composition and the text makes it seem like the kid shanked the doggo

>>15537286
This is awesome!
If you want to hint at "I am small and am not strong enough to push it", you can make the stones slightly tilt when you try to press them in small size.

Is the new forward dash short like that all the time, or only if you press it while standing still? Because I liked the freedom of giving those giant dashes mid-route.

Thinking about other variations on what do to at your game is hard, generally when I design a game the enemies are the most complex part. But let's see here...

Exploring the idea of the shock, maybe you could, after hitting a special type of enemy, gain control of him for a few seconds, like a remote control. That would make you able to fit into very small places, for instance.

You could also steal the shell of a crab and use it as protection, maybe get a ride with a seagull that tries to capture you, making a gliding passage to the game (just shock her and get free again!).

There could be areas where it's all dark and only a bolt will light up the way, so you have to shoot your way in, or even light up some props on the scenery to keep a "lantern" going.

Underwater minefields, whirlpools, bubble-riding (imagine a sea turtle snoring and making bubbles that go up)...

>>15537904
Outstanding. I used to paint/draw like this, it was a lot of fun. But I don't have drawing skills enough to make it look good.

>>15541771
Don't copy. Draw some realism then and simplify it your way.
You can see what works on anime, but only use it if you understand it. That way it can feel authentic.

Unless if by "not looking a weeaboo" you mean "looking like a nip", in case which you SHOULD copy and become soulless.

>>15541830
Lovely forms. And calligraphy!

>>15541771
i have a lot of my own theories on this.

it's the attitude. you have to see style as a way of expressing character. think animation, cartooning, even disney.
but many westeners pick up anime as a "style". for example, they will draw the eyes, but they don't know how to fully use them and think about it like an animator, comicker or cartoonist would think about it.

>>15542019
-I will probably do something like that with the rocks to show the player can move them.
-The giant dashes are still in, the short dashes are just for standing still.
-Some sort of shock attack would be nice to have in game. The shell idea is neat too.

>>15542008
Even without the text, I think the knife gives it away

I have tan-fied all the Brazilian states.

>>15544540

Are there even white people in Brazil? I know theres some place where a lot of Japanese people are.

Soon.

>>15545785
It looks like it's going the be a pain in the ass to animate.

i don't draw anime girls, nor do i use lines so i'm not really sure why i was drawing this in the first place. it's kinda shit so i'm not finishing it

>>15544742
Sul and Sudeste have a fair amount of whites.
Norte is more native indians, Nordeste has lots of mestizos because of slavery/agriculture and Centro-Oeste gets all sorts of mixes because it's in the middle of it all.

Blacks are mainly in Rio and Bahia,
Nips are mainly in São Paulo (and some in Paraná).

Statistically, I could probably have drawn everyone as black + indian + white mestizos, but that would be no fun; any place I could find an excuse to add a blondie, ginger or brunette, there it is.

Very generically speaking, we have:
Sul: germans, poles, ruskies;
Sudeste: nips, italians, syrians, jews;
Nordeste: dutch
Everywhere: portuguese, spaniards

>>15545785
Looking cool! Good luck wobbling it. Does unity have warping tools, by the way?

>>15546516
>Looking cool! Good luck wobbling it. Does unity have warping tools, by the way?

I got puppet 2D, for this and other projects. It's not great but it's nice and does what I want. The alternative was spine, which is a really great program, but It ain't $300 for a one man project great. Maybe in the future I could use it. For now I use their script to export layers to .png images which saves me a bunch of time. Puppet 2D allows for mesh deformation and adding skeletal systems so it should be a lot more bendy than the crab.

>>15546238
Eh. it's not so bad. You get used to it. Loving art and animation helps a lot too.

>>15546893
Indie development is a dangerous trap - by dreaming of selling a game, you end up buying lots of stuff and it turns out you were the customer all along.

Sounds a lot like art school, really. Only a few will actually profit from the investment.

>>15546893
>>15546913
Unlike art school, you can just pirate shit though.

>>15546283
I really like it! Though her body is a bit flat. Having the arm rod not straight on would help a bit.

>>15544540
That was genuinely interesting.
I never knew there was a Minas Gerais to go along with all the other Tolkienesque towers.

>>15547941
Funny thing to mention - I read through all of TLOTR thinking Minas Tirith and Minas Morgul were merely translations of "Tirith Mines" and "Morgul Mines".
I had no idea why that giant white city was called a mine, and it took me years to realize my mistake by reading The Silmarillion's glossary.

Also did a short comic.
I can't translate it because it wouldn't work, just posting for the tans.
An American dude has taken a curious liking to BAtan (Bahia), asked me to use her as a protagonist in a game he's making (?).

>>15536356
are you a girl? I guess you didn't get the memo. Women don't have a place here on jaypee.

>>15536356
I like how there is a button on both the bottle and the tablet. You press one, you get soap. You press the other, you get art.

>>15548188

Anon...

I'm going to try and get a new maid game demo ready for the end of the month!

>>15548127

PEtan is cute. Got more of her?

Does she look kind of like a creep who would also be a capable magical hunter?

>>15551276
I mean this image...

>>15551293
Yes.

I will need to be careful about not having the mesh get too goofy but this is a neat way to animate stuff without pain.

>>15552274
hot

>>15551471
Now I just need to color her.

>>15552868
Although unintentional things like this may be necessary in the other project.

>>15554849
Eh, lineweight feels a bit disappointing.
Other than that, really cool.

>>15555184

I've been trying to fix them as I work on it. I jut need to work on some more parts and then I think It's ready to break apart and put into unity to animate.

>>15557551
She has bags above her eyes too?

>>15557682

It was meant to be eye shadow that goes around and sort of circles into the bags but I might remove the top part or make it a different color.

hey /jp

as a child, did you ever envision your future-self spending your time drawing cute anime girls on an image board thread about Otaku Culture?

woah

>>15558675
me with the poptart

>>15558675
I do remember wanting to only play video games all day.

>>15558675
i used to dig up earthworms and cut them into halves with a blunt hand fork, then place them into an empty pot and stir them up with a trowel, play-pretending about frying chow mein. nowadays i do enjoy cooking

>>15558675
Dibs on the bob cut one

>>15559246
What the actual fuck.

>>15559246
Haha, I did the same but with a knife and snails instead. I don't like cooking though.

I used to beat up retards that bullied insects in elementary school

>>15560271
>beating up retards
Wow, not cool man

>>15560271
I got bullied because I would tell other kids that it was cruel to torture bugs and ask them to stop.
It happened in high school once, too.

If you're going to blog, at least illustrate it with some OC.

>>15558675
i feel like you have the same shoulder problem that sleepy sometimes has.
see >>15531345
try to not always have these perfectly horizontal shoulders. 90 degrees is a bit much imo, they only are viable with certain angles and poses.
usually the traps would create a slight angle, even with very lean types. either way, make sure it's intentional and not a habit.

>>15561224
looks like you see too many cobra traps in your life. they're actually fine

>>15561224
Yeah, they all look so tense.

Please post more OC guys instead of just talking about yourselves..

>>15561784
take this flan i recently drew on a notecard

>>15561931
Cute, but she looks like an alien.

>>15561784
I'm not a creative person.

>>15561993
okay how do i fix that

>>15562278
Put her eyes closer together, and a little smaller.

>>15562234
No one starts creative. You need to work hard at it by trying make things even when you know it might not be the best because that's how you improve.

>>15561931
A lot of detail. How big is the notecard?

>>15562497
4x6in

there is a reason why i am incredibly shortsighted without my glasses

I think I seriously messed up this skeleton. I'm still figuring out quite how to do this. I'm much more accustomed to doing this in blender or something but with more practice I should be able to make this work better. The hands are a pain though because they're two points but I think I know how to fix that.

>>15561931
The cute!

>>15562493
This is cute in a bad way. Kitsch, even.

>>15562746
What are the advantages of puppeting it in-engine instead of rendering separate sprites?
I will start to art a game soon and had already decided to go with the frame-by-frame approach.

Also is it easy to animate face/shushu by switching frames in this setup?

who srpg here? or just grid based stuff in general

>>15563457
I keep considering it, but every time I start, I just can't see the advantage.

>>15563620

What advantage?

>>15563692
Of making something be grid or tile movement based.

>>15563280

rendering separate frames for something of this detail would take a while. It depends on how many frames you have and how many you plan to do. I could probably animate 8 frames with no real issue but anything more than that I'd give up. Plus I can get more than one animation loop from this set up.

>>15563457
I wanted to make one but I feel that I would just be copying Disgaea.

>>15562493
Why are you stacked like a snowman?

>>15563280
I'll take that as a compliment, thanks!

>>15565558
I'm fat

>>15565206
Go for it, pal. I don't think anyone would say you're ripping Disgaea off unless you straight up steal a character or something. Strategy games have been around for a while and no one calls Disgaea a copy of Fire Emblem or anything.

>>15562493
I've always liked this one.

>>15565206

Grid based games always remind me of the Front mission games.

To celebrate her first seasonal line! Feels good to be kuso

>>15567966
Really nice!
>amatsukaze swimsuit2.png
Anon are you holding out on us?

>>15567966
Is this yours? If so, what a happy coincidence that I was already following you on pixiv.

>>15568319
Nah, the picture labeled 1 is the same but with some more errors.

>>15568354
Thanks for following! Unfortunately I'm a lazy faggot so my picture output is quite poor and I never improve. Cutekaze's new line spurred me to action this time though.

>>15566604
>I'll take that as a compliment, thanks!
It wasn't, I find it pretty bad in taste, aesthetically speaking.
It's like that Ginger cartoon or some other uncanny "cutesy" stuff like dolls, the Seven Dwarves or Betty Boop.

This witch turnaround, on the other hand, looks pretty nice!

>>15563457
Grid-based combat is super fun in theory, but slow/boring after a short amount of time. At least that's what I felt with Dofus and FFT.
So make sure to keep it as dynamic as possible! Invest in some good non-intrusive combat UI and that'll eliminate a good part of the problem.
