Still Working

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still working on my visual novel Trapped. The above unfinished image is going to be the title screen. Amenti's pose will make sense once the drawing is complete. I think on my next visual novel I might ditch Manga Studio. I know Manga studio is a great program for some but as of right now, the program is not working for me. In fact, I might redo the line art for the whole game as doing line art does not take a long time. Maybe someday I will go back and look up tutorials for Manga Studio but I want to spend time with Photoshop. I know a few months ago I mentioned getting a Programer/Art job in the future. The company has a name but the owner is having a hard time getting funded. It is a real shame since the company owner inspires to make video games focused on good stories and gameplay rather than making games that sell to mainstream audiences. I still love the idea of this company and I hope the owner finds a way to get funded soon however I will not mention this opportunity again until the company has an office and I have received a check. The company is extremely indie right now with only a few people taking time out of their day to help work on a game. I am still attending WordPress meetings and focusing on finding a job in the meantime to give me some money. In the future I would like to make an indie game company of my own and work at home. Trapped is my first step.

The New Year!

So the line art for Trapped (characters, scenery, special scenes, and backgrounds) are done. I'm finally back in my house and I'm getting used to setting a schedule for myself to get my work done (regardless if I have a regular job or not). Unfortunately I have to take a little break from making this visual novel because I have not done digital coloring in a long time. I am going to work on two drawings in Photoshop before finishing the coloring for Trapped. With the New Year, comes new goals. I want to complete two to three visual novels this year. Trapped is one of them. At the same time I would like to work on my anatomy and digital drawing skills. I felt a little sad having to look at a few references before drawing a character or special scene. Since I was out of a scanner for a while, I decided to switch over to drawing digitally instead of drawing on paper first then finishing the drawing in Photoshop. Hopefully I will save time this way.
