/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Nice picture, OP!

I've been working on writing a story. It should be done in a few days... it's not very /jp/-related, but I'm sure someone will enjoy it.

These threads always sound so exciting, but I can't do anything. At all.

The latest Suwakosip and derivatives made me really excited about working with colour. Too bad the lineart also needed is much harder to make.

Just felt like sharing.

>>8500193
> it's not very /jp/-related
But I'm sure you will create a thread about it, right?

>>8500205
Make a /jp/ propaganda poster, like me! They're easy to make, you just need some basic shapes, bright colors and bombastic messages.

Working on a little game, in time it will be networked to allow co-op play.

Stolen sprites due to complete lack of any artistic skill. Does anyone know of some good tilesheets?

>>8500247
Mouse writing is hard.

Oh well, I tried.

Currently looking for proper pieces of wood for the blade and scabbard of the top sword. Not entirely sure how I'm gonna do the bottom one, or if I should just find a premade wooden one online or something. Hopefully I won't have to though, I really like making them myself.

>>8500623
Why does the scabbard need to be so fancy? It looks nice and all, but I don't understand the utility of it. But I guess that's the difference between a work of art and a tool...

>>8500749
Because it looks fucking awesome is why.

Also to make it look like a claymore while still being a katana.

>>8486997
>I haven't read the entire thread so I apologize if this is a redundant question, but what method and program do you use for your line art?

SAI, stabilizer 7, pencil tool 60% density. I don't really pen anymore, my sketches are usually fairly clean and I just clean them up a little more. I have more layers than most, I think? Not sure how to answer, exactly.

yes reimu is not wearing a skirt

ILLUMINATI SYMBOLISM

What's the best way to combine 3d backgrounds and 2d sprites?
I tried a bunch of different filters but it still looks out of place...

>>8505343
MORE FILTERS

>>8505343
still looking greater than 80% vn with 3d backgrounds imho

>>8505343
You are now noticing that 3d backgrounds and 2d sprites simply look out of place.

>>8500454
Tell me what size tiles you want, and what style, i'll gladly take a shot at making some for you.

I cant do trees, sorry. I've never been able to make a proper looking tree.

I don't have any marketable skills

I wish I at least knew Japanese so I could run a little fansubbing blog on wordpress.

>>8505343
Getting the right perspective for the background already helps a lot. This image has a completely unmodified photograph as background.

>>8505343
>>8505688
When you are running filters over it, try to use filters that make the picture lose precise details while maintaining its overall impression. I like GIMP's Oilify filter for this. With the background being less detailed, it doesn't really stand out too much from the simplified drawn character.

You can also drain most/all of the color from an image and blur it slightly. Although the background is clearly separate from the foreground here, the lack of color and blurriness divert the attention to the foreground while the reader still gets to get an impression of the environment from the foreground.

Incidentally, this loss of detail also lets you get away with shitty edits made in MSPaint.

>>8505729
I really think you could do with a lot less grain.

I mean honestly a few extra minutes with a blur detail tool isn't that hard, and will make the entire thing look better in the long run.

>>8505745
The grain was present in the original picture. From top to bottom they're the original picture, the MSPainted picture, and the final picture.

>>8505688
>>8505702
>>8505711
You're right, it looks much better when the angles match. But finding good stock images is going to be a problem (some galleries I've seen are very expensive) and I doubt I can just use stuff from google images.

also here's the script for the first day out of seven if anyone is interested in reading it. I posted part of this in a previous thread.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/11c8qv8Y-DPAtHTpSnadFxXMwl8QDq1E2arkY_uTdxXM/edit

>>8505785
I recommend Flickr. Through Advanced Search you can find Creative Commons-licensed photographs (i.e. free to use for whatever you like, as long as it's non-commercial. Editing and/or commercial use require a specific CC license, but you can search for that too).

>>8505785
Considering you're going to be filtering the shit out of your images, if you live in any sort of residential/urban area you can just take any cheapo camera.

I guess that depends on how much effort you're willing to put into it, plus being lucky with where you live.

>>8506009
Wow, there is a ton of good stuff in there. Thank you. I'll write down the names of the uploaders and then put them in the credits. Taking photos by myself is also a good idea, I think there's a place nearby that I could use.

everything comes out touhou

More like an excuse to practice cum.

You know for some reason i'm suprised I haven't seen urethral sounding with Yuugi's horn, and i'm glad.

Of course now that its been said on the internet, its only a matter of time.

>>8505536
Really? That'd be great.

I haven't given much time to what type of setting I want the game in yet, do you have an email or something so we can speak? Mine is in the email field.

>>8507249

Your coloring still needs serious work, and you need to make it more apparent that she's sucking his balls. Right now it just looks kind of awkward.

>>8508237
Oh, and the hair doesn't look too good.

>>8509471
DeviantART quality!

>>8507249
Finally a decent pic from you. Actually saved that one.

Thinking of writing a locked room mystery story.

A world war has just ended, an armistice has been signed, every commerce raider has been recalled to port and ordered to surrender. Most warships return to port without any problems, and those left in the sea and presumed scuttled or sunk. Two months later, an allied battleship explodes and sinks in strange circumstances on it's way home, threatening the recently signed peace accords. Just when the investigation is finished and the incident is dismissed as a freak accident, two submarines surface near a neutral port and surrender, claiming they did not want to return to their homeland to avoid internment. Since all the other raiders had been accounted for, their captains become the new suspects and the case is re opened. Their crews are interrogated and their logs captured intact, but the results of the new investigation are contradictory. Will the detective be able to figure out who sunk the battleship?

Based on a true story I just read about on /x/.

>>8509530
That sounds interesting. You have my blessing.

Couldn't sleep so I tried to make a song like "True" from Silent Hill 2, but it ended up sounding like an intro theme to Metal Gear/Escape from New York or something. I dunno.

>>8511120
I'd start off making the notes sound longer, that is, if you're aiming for a song in the style of 'True'. Still, it sounds pretty good altough I like your "Barroom Melancholy" better.

Sorry for taking so long /jp/ I will finish it this month, I promise!

Prog/power arrange of True Administrator from TD. WIP. It's only halfway done from what I'm planning, but it's already long enough as it is (currently clocking in at 7 mins), so yeah.
Maybe I've been working on this for too long, but I'm starting to get depressed when working on this piece lately. Please tell me, is this a song worth finishing?

Oh. I can't apologize enough for the shit instrument and audio quality... One of these days I really should get a better machine and learn how to use a DAW, sigh.

>>8511120
I'd say it's the drumming and your phrasing that's giving it the Metal Gear vibe.

>>8511331

I should have finished it along time ago.

Dude those notes are awesome. It sounds pretty proggy too. It would be an amazing arrange with recorded guitar and nice synths.

It sounds pretty done to me though? How long are you planning to make this? IMO you could just make the ending a little more fluid and then easily call it complete.

The Vienne visual novel short story collection project is looking for artists and musicians.

You have probably seen the thread (>>8490784) on the front page a couple of times, but in case people don't know: It's a project to make a VN out of five short stories written by /jp/ writers.

The poll has just finished and the five stories to work on have been determined. The stories can be found at http://jpvn.dyndns.org/.. We need artists to draw art for the stories and musicians to make music and sound for the stories. If you like one of the stories and would like to draw or compose for it, please add yourself to the project on the wiki, post in the thread or contact me at incompetentleader@yahoo.com.

It looks fine man you're being to hard on yourself. Just fix up that bottom.

This is Tired-chan. She reminds me a bit of /jp/.

>>8512775
Thank you, that really means a lot to me.

It's pretty much a complete song as it stands, yes, but my plan was making a five movement piece (right now it's missing the 4th and 5th movement). It will be around 10-14 minutes when it's done.
I wanted to have an orchesstral section after this, leading into a choral passage, before having a grand finale befitting the resurrected emperor. Pretentious? Sure, but Miko deserves nothing less than the grandest.

>recorded guitar
Not going to happen unless I get some help, unfortunately. I can't play the guitar. At all. ;_;

>>8512468
Easy way out, how? It looks good enough to me (though I'm certainly no expert). The torso seems a tad too long but that's it.

>>8512468
Art-wise, it's great. Very nice. As ero, though, it doesn't really make me feel anything.

>>8514498

If zunbar-chan or someone else is willing to record lead and rhythm guitars, I can probably supply some bass guitar.

May be better to wait until the whole suite is finished though.

What do you guys think of the VN magazine project? has anyone thought about contributing?

I am pretty fond of Suika. Far from my favorite, but I like her quite a lot. I especially like Suika/Reimu pairings.

>>8511026
You mean not lewd enough, right?

>>8515458
I think it looks pretty nice, though you're probably going to want to lower the position of the arm, since the foreshortening of the hand doesn't imply that's she's sticking her arm straight out.

>>8512738
>>8514171
Hang on, what's the issue with the lower body? I'm not sure I see it. If it's about the thighs being different widths, it's because she's slightly twisting to her right. Might be her right thigh is still a bit too thin though.

And now for some programming and music OC: http://www.stack.nl/~vdz/musicrunner/ (PC and Android)

Simple music game made with some other people for a school project. Gameplay is like Vib Ribbon (kinda similar to Bit.Trip Runner for those who don't know about Vib Ribbon), except you actually have to play the notes in the tracks (like in Keyboardmania). Scoring is in beatmania/DDR style.

Controls are QWERTY for CDEFGA, or you can use a MIDI Keyboard if you have one. Android has an onscreen piano for controls.

The game has online high scores visible at http://www.traceher.com/, so go forth and get the top places at every track.

The game has some timing issues. You can adjust the latency setting in config.ini if it gets too bad. This is strongly recommended if you want to play on Android, since Android latency is terrible.

>>8523799
>>8523985
It's not even an OC thread over there. It's not even a drawthread. It's a 'request and deliver' thread.

There's also not really a subject-wise content divide here, you know. If a /jp/ user made something, it can go here. Not just touhou/vocaloid/etc., but original stuff too. There's a line to be drawn for potential stupidity, but that kind of work is well above it. Those kinds of submissions are what make our OC threads more productive than that of other boards.

>>8524546
I don't know about that.

I've been making music for many years but have never posted it here despite being proud of it, because it's not /jp/ related. If I made some Touhou flash games and used them as BGM or something I'd do that, other than that, it just won't happen.

KS is invariably an /a//v/ thing. I'm not sure if there's a customs/crafting thread on /toy/ (there used to be some there), or if something like this exists in /diy/, but I'd check there as well if you understandably wouldn't want /a/ getting in a tizzy over it.

>>8524049
ohh shit 1980s style!

>>8505343
I like the character design here.
>>8524492
I giggled. You should keep it up, I like these. I only have one other one besides this one, but I would like to see more.

>>8524492
You're the guy who drew this aren't you? Do you have a Pixiv or something?

>>8524556
The things you post in these threads don't have to be /jp/ related. This is why it says "general original content thread" and "anything is welcome" in the OP post every time. 61 times in fact.

In reality these threads were started to inspire /jp/ers to go out and create something (anything). It's purpose is a little different than the OC threads on the other boards. What >>8524546 said is correct.

>>8524582
I don't have enough of them done to make a pixiv with. Maybe if I finished a couple dozen of them (and retouched my first ones like that to be a more consistent standard). Not to mention I'm not 100% confident I could translate them perfectly or if nips would get all of them. You see, I have a sub-series of these involving ZUN as a god in his own world, noclipping around the sky editing / messing with things/chars via console. I'm unsure how much computer jargon I can use without that getting lost in translation. And I don't think I should put them on pixiv in just english.

I stopped making these for a while since they turned out surprisingly much crappier than they looked as sketches on paper, but, I decided to give it another go with a different protocol recently, which looks (I think) a little better now that I considered more what my standard should be.

>>8524647
Wait, those are hand drawn?

>>8524556
>>8524556
I understand your position, and I operate along the same guidelines, only more lax. I think completely original work definitely has a place here. /a/ stuff can go in /a/(even though those threads are totally dismal for OC) and so on, but those original works are worth a post.

Since there's no /fig/, I think these from-scratch models are the very stuff of what makes up /jp/ OC. Even if there were, I don't think any other board gets such a wide variety of media coming into their OC threads. Could be wrong, but that's what I like about these threads.

>>8524684
Yeah, they start as incomplete little doodles with some notes. I usually do them at a moment's notice if I felt like it.

I have a tablet but specifically don't like outlining on it, never got used to it I guess. Not to mention I'm ridiculously faster with a marker (these take 5 minutes to scribble tops, most definitely a quantity over quality affair).

>>8524049
I like this, very clean and professional looking.

>>8524546
>>8524633
No it isn't correct. Because almost none of the content in here is actually original and it's quite clear that KS belongs to /a/v/. Just go there. That's like making a comic about team fortress and saying it's okay to be here when it's not.

It's cool and all that people are doing stuff but just put them at their proper place.

Huh. Now that you mention it, a canvas oekaki could be a pretty fun project.

I'm pretty busy this week with my vidya game projects as it is, but if I find time I'll try doing at least the bones for it.

I starting working on this this afternoon and I think I already have a case of spaghetti code... I'm just too bad at coding. Would any of you be willing to play it for a bit, and point out any inconsistencies to me? I'm kinda tired.

http://www.mediafire.com/?zprree1vwrgqgs3

That rar should have everything it needs to run, so just run onscripter.exe to start the game. I'm not sure if it's ok for me to redistribute the executable like this, but it's too late for me to re upload anything.

(I know it only has 1 sprite. The rest aren't finished yet)

>>8528300
Only just started inspecting the script. I don't know where you learned from, but instead of textclear, use backslash (\) to indicate the end of a page. "insertmenu" has no function in ONScripter (it only works in NScripter) so you can omit all of them from the definition block. If you don't mind, I'll be rewriting nscript.dat, but it'll take a while.

What the hell are you doing on page 13?

>>8527455
An hour or two in, canvas is handling this better than I thought it would. Slightly laggy on Firefox, but I would've been surprised if it wasn't.

Brush-wise, I don't know if I'll be able to do anything better than the very very basics. We'll see.

You should add some transitions for when you change the bg

>>8531221
Sorry, it's taking me a while (since I'm changing every ">" to ` as well as getting rid of all the textclears and modifying other parts of the script) but just hang on tight; will be done in a few hours.

By the way, did you consider the possibility of having custom menus? It wouldn't be difficult to script them, but it would require rewriting the entire script so it'd be best to decide now, before it gets too troublesome later.

Offering a request sketch for anyone who wants it. I feel like drawing something quickly.

>>8531561
It's ok there's no rush. I'm still haven't finished writing the rest of the prologue, this will probably take me some time.

Just a random little ditty I scrapped together with after playing with an idea I came up on the piano. I should do musical scrapbooking a bit more often - hard to believe the last piece I uploaded on this account was over an year ago. That said, hope you enjoy.

>>8531657
Well basically, see the image.

Those on the left-hand side (your project, OMGWTFOTL, Tsukihime) use default ONScripter menus, while those on the right (Red Shift, Narcissu, Umineko) have customized right-click menus.

Custom menus have quite a few advantages that go beyond aesthetics, but are a bit trickier to work with--you'll have to be a lot more careful while scripting.

>>8531765
Could you be more specific? I don't know if I want to keep working on this piece as it was just kind of a quick sketch, but still it'd nice for reference.

>>8531811
If you don't mind, could you explain this a bit further?
I thought menus were defined in the definition block. Why would it affect the game block?

>>8531929
Hmm. Not sure how to explain in a manner that isn't overly technical.

In order to use custom menus, in the definition block you put "textgosub *<label>", which means that the <label> routine is called whenever there's a clickwait or pagewait state ("@" puts the program in clickwait, "/" puts the program in pagewait).

All you need to know is, you have to script differently from usual because a special routine is called at every wait state.

e.g.
Normally you might write something like:
`Sentence one.@ Sentence two.@ Sentence 3.\

With textgosub the same thing would be:
`Sentence one. @ `Sentence 2. @ `Sentence 3.\

That's just the most basic example. Other things like <br> are handled differently too.

>>8532049
This is interesting, and it could be useful for displaying the inventory.
I'm gonna download Umineko and see if I can use their menu as a template.

>>8528300
Alright, I took too long, but here's my revision:
http://www.mediafire.com/?pr2im3s703lbgtl

Won't guarantee it's perfect but I did run it quite a few times until it seemed bug-free. If there's anything you don't understand feel free to ask, although I think it's quite straightforward.

You may notice that all the "setwindow [...]" stuff is now handled by subroutines. wait/delay commands can be shortened to !w/!d. Though I'd recommend using subroutines to handle text color, I'll leave that up to you.

Always willing to lend a hand if you need assistance with ONScripting.

Does anyone know if there's any way to recognize the rgb value of a given pixel on the screen using javascript? I seriously doubt it, but something like that would be useful.

When I was 5/6, I had to take special training in order to become able to draw anything resembling straight lines (I was completely unable to do anything like that, which would cause problems for writing). I'm 21 now, and I am still unable to draw a straight line. (If it's short it can seem pretty straight, though anything longer than a letter's size doesn't even resemble a straight line.) Are you trying to say even somebody like me can draw?

>>8534965
You're a special snowflake.

Not really. You're already in a privileged position by being able to draw, you're not in much of a position to be claiming "hard work just works".

When did I claim that? What I'm saying is that I have a severe handicap by being heavily inclined towards writing instead of drawing. When I think about how to express something, I think in terms of how I'm going to write it, not draw it. The most I even want to do in terms of drawing is make adequate character designs for better artists to follow up on.

>What I'm saying is that I have a severe handicap by being heavily inclined towards writing instead of drawing. When I think about how to express something, I think in terms of how I'm going to write it, not draw it.

I'm not a very left-brain oriented person. I have more of a penchant for computers and playing instruments (not composing, mind you). Furthermore, drawing certainly does not come easily for me. My depth perception is abysmal, and attempting to translate real scenes onto paper causes a great deal of mental fatigue.

However, instead of sitting around, lamenting that I wasn't born with a propensity for creating visual art like my brother, I make the effort to devote an hour or so every day to drawing. I'm still far from where I'd like to be (certainly not good enough to post anything here), but I have made ever so slight improvements, and will continue to try and improve.

Any effort you put toward anything is going to pay off, somehow, and anything worth developing the skills for is not going to come easy. You've fabricated a world which dictates that you simply have no potential to draw. However, if you'd only open your eyes, you'd realize that it's quite the opposite. It may come slightly harder for you than others, but if you try, it'll eventually come.

>The most I even want to do in terms of drawing is make adequate character designs for better artists to follow up on.

Then make this your goal. Do a little bit of research and see how you need to practice in order to achieve this goal. Complaining on /jp/ that you simply cannot draw is not going to propel you toward your desire.

Also, when it comes to anything, remember that you need both practice and application. Different things work for different people, but I feel that this particular concept is quite universal. Failure to neglect either principle will make things more difficult in the long run.

...Which means you're very well adapted to creative talents, such as writing or drawing.

My god, I'm not going to bother reading any worthless advice you might have had to offer after that debacle.

>>8539583
Looks very nice, Anon...Keep it up! I wish there would be more VN development threads arround here...

>>8539593
If you think so logically, why don't you follow his very logical advice? You are unhappy you cannot draw. To become happy you have to become better at drawing. To do so you have to practice, which is what he suggests. That way you will have some chance of reaching your goal, depending on how much effort you put into it and how dedicated you are. Instead, you make posts whining on /jp/ how it isn't fair you weren't born with supreme talent, like some drawing-god is going to hear your lamentations, come down from the heavens and grant you 'ultra-special drawing powerz'.

What you're doing has zero percent chance of reaching your goal. Following his advice gives you at least a better chance than that.

Or develop your writing skills better. You say you're good at that, well why don't you go from there, then? Good writing is also a respected craft. Maybe you can even team up with an artist and write stories that he can make drawings based off.

>>8539583
Looks nice!
What are you making it with?

>>8539760
You can't fly. But you can learn to fly. Practice makes perfect. Stand outside and practice jumping for an hour every day. Although it will take time, you will eventually notice you jump higher and stay in the air longer. If you keep it up like that, eventually, you too will be able to fly. Don't claim you can't fly, because what you're doing right now has a 0% chance of making you fly. At least try practicing it, worst thing that could happen is that you waste your time.

>>8539833
You really are stupid aren't you?

>>8539838
No seriously, it's true. I started practicing flying a couple years ago. I'm still not at a level where I can show off my flying skills, but I have improved tons since I started practicing despite having no talent for flying. Shounen manga were right, hard work always pays off.

>>8539844
thats not funny I almost died that way

>>8539593

Whoops, it appears my secret is revealed: I'm human and therefore make mistakes. There's one in my last sentence as well, actually.

Regardless, whether or not you get what you want is your choice and yours alone. Is life fair? No. Is life equal? Hardly. If it was, I would be an incredible artist already, like my brother. But, to say you don't have any chance whatsoever of learning to draw is downright silly.

You can continue trying to garner pity from others, a failing endeavor, or you can take our advice and actually attempt to better yourself.

Whether or not you succeed doesn't really affect me. If you fail, my life will go on. However, you do have my continued support if you decide to stop wallowing in your fabricated sorrow and better yourself.

>>8539833

The act of flying and the act of drawing are hardly a valid comparison. By nature, a human's appendages do not have the potential to fly. It's a physical impossibility. As long as a person has a fully functioning arm, on the other hard, the potential to draw exists.

But, the fact of the matter is that man has already learned to fly through the use of aircraft. Rather than trying to somehow magically overcome a physical impossibility, we designed machines which achieve the same purpose. If you honestly feel that it's absolutely impossible for you to learn to draw through traditional practice and dedication (which I assure you is not the case), then figure out a method which will work for you.

Come on guys, of course humans can fly. We wanted to fly, so instead of thinking we will never be birds, we built giant machines to help us fly. Come on now.

>>8539879
Not the same person, but I'm interested in learning how to draw as well since the anon who was doing the sprites for >>8528300 hasn't contacted me in 2 weeks (I guess he lost interest) do you know of any good starting guides or tutorials?

Stop whining and get drawing.

Look, okay, we're talking about a person here without arms. Drawing for him is a physically impossibility on the order of flying and I think you're being really insensitive by insisting that he be able to draw with prosthetics, a monstrously difficult feat.

Reading comprehensive is a lost, forgotten art. Where do you retards come from, and why in such great numbers?

>>8540623
Try focusing a shitton of effort on drawing one particular picture right. Even if it's a cube on a table. I took drawing lessons for a few months a decade or so ago and I probably drew a few dozen geometric objects on tables during that period.

The other half of what admittedly shitty artistic skill I retain was developed from repeatedly trying to draw copies of a picture that I had in front of me.

If you really can't do it you might have some sort of problem with spatial reasoning or visualization or whatever that category of stuff is called.

IT'S NOT JUST THE SPRITES THAT ARE ASYMMETRICAL

Also needs more diamonds

Alright fags here's the best way to learn if you're mentally capable of drawing. Take a picture of you're favorite touhou, flip it upside down and draw it. No tracing, just draw what you see.

If something clicks in your head, good, you've got what it takes at the very least. If nothing registers, pack your bags and get out. No hope for you.

This goes well beyond "I'm a writer, therefore I can't draw" and right into the realm of some actual disorder or another. Hard work and practise does pay off, no matter the subject - as long as your brain and/or other organs vital to the task are physically capable of it. "Being a writer" doesn't exclude you of it, having defective visual memory or pattern recognition does. Would explain why your brain is trying to compensate by leaning towards words rather than images.

If that's the case, you're in a privileged position to be a writer and most likely a programmer too, if your brain can handle maths. You wouldn't have to worry about visualizing the program and making the code easy to look at like I do.

Anyway, it'd be fun to see if you drew the same picture any differently with different eyes blocked.

So what's the new bump limit?

At 500 posts.

That's not for all boards, is it? I know some of them still cap at 300.

>>8541637
Oh, wait a minute! This didn't bump the thread!
>>8541663
I guess you are right, 300 is still the /jp/ limit, apparently.

This is the one instance where I don't like being right.

>>8541100
Maybe I'll go do that one day.

I'm back. That might make sense if I actually did think in words, but I exclusively think in images, moving ones at that. I have a friggin picturesque memory, and hate any form of code. I'm just guessing that I have plain old bad luck.

Is anyone going to make new thread?

There's no need to do so before someone has content to share. If you can't start the thread with something you've drawn, don't start it.

You weren't >>8538008 then?

Anyone alive?

>>8544535

Nope. I'm dead. I just so happen to be a tangible ghost so I can type things. What's up?

I find this very, very offensive. This is discrimination against musicians, programmers, writers, hell, anyone that's not a drawfag. I demand you take your words back.
