New Video is Up

I'm finishing the artwork for this game.  I just have one more scene to go.  Then I got to do the facial expressions.  This is technically a redraw of an old drawing I did some time ago.

My anatomy drawing has changed.  I'm not sure if I'll ever touch color pencils again.

Facebook Page Activity

So one day I logged on to my Facebook account and received a notification that my Dark Siren Games page got 104 page views.  I barely visit that page so that alert caught me by surprise.  I would like to contribute more often to that page but I'm not sure what to post. 

What I currently post is work in progress drawings, finished drawings, and links to recent YouTube videos.  If you do like my Facebook page, then please tell me what you like about the page or what I can do to improve the page?

Second Special Scene is Done

Above is my speed painting process through the whole thing.  Comments are always appreciated. 

Update 09/27/2014

This is going to be interesting.  I have never done a background with so much detail before. 

Going to Busy for a Bit

Hello guys.

I just got a job dealing with Adobe Photoshop Creative Suite 6 for a bit.  Yep, this is a temporary job that might end earlier then or on November 28, 2014.  Thanks to my last job, I did pretty well with time management.  I hope that this Photoshop job will help me with my own projects at home.

For some reason, I can't listen to music while I work at this job.  A job that doesn't involve me talking to anyone, so I guess listening to the sounds of other people clicking on the computer is what I am going to have to do.  Anway, I do not have many background images left for me to work on for this visual novel.  I feel like I could finish this visual novel soon. 

I also need to think of a different name for my current visual novel: Trapped. I was alerted on Twitter that there was already a visual novel with the same name.

08/13/2014 Half Way There

I now have four more scenery images to design.  Today, I also finished another sprite.  Digital artwork, while I am not there, is getting easier to do.  I am feeling really happy right now.  Listening to the advice from a few posts back, I decided to put an underwater effect after coloring in the scene.  Using underwater references really did help a lot.

I made a deadline for this visual novel, but I refuse to tell anyone what that deadline is.  Not only do I need to finish the game by then, but I need to make business cards as well.  Last time I was at an anime convention, I was asked for business cards a few times.  I already have an idea for the mascot character, so this will be fun.

Last blog post, I might have mentioned signing up for Conceptart.org.  I did sign up but I will end up posting my realistic work on Cgartnexus.com instead.  There are a ton of useful advice on Conceptart.org, so it is worth looking at the tutorials available.  

Lastly, the more I write for Ashes and Androids, my Science Fantasy boyXboy visual novel, the more I begin to understand where I want to go with the story.  I have not done the worldbuilding in a while but simply writing the story is helping me understand the world I set the story in.

More Progress Since the Last Post

More Progress for Trapped

  

From upper left to the right and to the bottom are the order of process.  Learning how to make artwork for a visual novel is a new experience for me.  It was brought to my attention that the Ren'py text boxes will be covering the bottom of my artwork.  Something that I new but did not think about all the way through.  Oh well...I'll see what I can do once this picture is fully colored.
