Jagex should do more updates like these. Not knowing about a mini-quest makes it more awesome when you discover it yourself.

SURPRISE! Rofl, sup long overdue update? I've done absolutely tons of concept art, amongst other things, and i think i've improved a lot since i started. Transdimentional Rift Vessel - concept Improved profile of my character (Un-named, suggestions plz) More concept art - bit rubbish really, i made it for the shading practice. Shape-shifting shadows are the enemy. More concept art rofl. Random stoofs Viewtiful Joe wallpaper Viewtiful Joe wallpaper 2 TARDIS avatar Futurama fanart - "WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOODNIGHT! Wario Ware: Smooth Moves Fanart 1 2 3 Super Mario Bros. fanart Okay I'm out rofl.

This took me less time than that head on page 2... I think i've improved somewhat.

For me, I've played a lot of games over the years, with only a few sticking out in my mind. One of them being Rollercoaster tycoon. That game just eats your time. Wario ware on the cube is one of the best multiplayer party experiences ever, especially when the games running at a million miles an hour. I've got high hopes for the Wii version to recreate that. Another one that sticks out in my mind was Paper mario 2. Its one of the few games over the years that i've encountered that has a genuinely funny script, and the gameplay was gold, if only because it blew a lot of the RPG formula to peices and rebuilt it. Classic game. As far as handheld games go, theres just one that sticks out in my head, and thats the advance wars series.

Hate is such a strong word... EDIT: just blown it up a bit more, it only took me about 5 mins. Skill improvement get!

Another hour and a half in, and... We have detail! I spent the first half hour on the wireframe/lineart, and once colored i ended up with the result above. I'm not happy with the feet, so please bear with me, and i shall probably fix it later. Now to have a go at the side view.

Well, first off, you need flash macromedia. I use the MX 2004 edition. And second, no. Its too big to send over the internet. I got mine by asking around the college media department, you may be able to do the same.

Naw, the basics are fairly easy to understand. My problem is with artistic direction, or the lack thereof.

So i started work on the comic... And it was horrible. And i thought to myself, "Oliver, if you're going to make a comic, you better do it right". So, i began to ponder. To wonder and to think. How could i go about making something look good in the shortest possible time? So tonight and possibly tomorrow on new year's eve/day, i am going to upload a work in progress. Its back to basics, just using the mouse to draw a character. So to start with the wireframe: Then the skin on a new layer: When combined the result is this thus far: Time spent on drawing so far: 1 hour Critique as i add to it would be appreciated please.

Does it's second form actually have an attack?

Give the 702 teleports.

I swear, the OoT master sword music played in my head when i took this...

Merry christmas to you all! First off, i'd thought i'd say that just to get it off my chest. Ahem. Yesterday was my last planned blog post, but i thought to myself "Ah, what the hell." Tomorrow is the day my membership runs out, and thus, my time on RuneScape for a few weeks. I started work on the comic last night and it is a bit of hard work, but i have 3 panels left to do and any refinery needed before i bring it out next saturday. So far, my artistic skills are a bit crap. Hopefully i can put my knoledge of flash to good use and make up for my rather horrible looking scenery :XD: , So for the first few pages its all going to be a bit experimental. Anyhoo, i have decided to make a start on it early so i may see how i improve over time. (Or not, as the case may be.) I will post a link to where the comic is hosted next week on the advertising forums and most likely in the art thread too. As for RuneScape, i am using my leftover time to desperately try for a Gilded altar before i actually leave tomorrow. Its all gone a bit Majora's mask. I shall be on sometime tonight, so if you see me ingame approaching you at high speed, please do not flee! I'm only going to wish you merry christmas anyway :roll: If not, then all I'm going to say to finish this post off for the night is to enjoy your christmas day, may your presents be many and your turkeys stuffed! :anxious:

Most likely, but i won't be back for two weeks to a month, setting that in the middle of January.

Oh, i intend to finish it before i go, so i can throw one hell of a party upon my return.

I wouldn't call it a career, maybe a hobby... Who knows where it will take me :XD:

Heck, its not my funeral or something! I thought you lot would be happy or something :thumbsup:

Blarg, game over no more continues I have decided to take a break from Runescape for a few weeks. Membership runs out in 3 days and i am not going to renew it for a while. There is a reason behind my madness: I want to perfect my art. I am taking the time that i have off from college and using it to practice. I am undecided as to take my ideas and use them to make a comic for the time being rather than an animated series, at least until my skills improve. That and my ideas still aren't coming together like they should. I have a basic idea for the storyline, but i haven't thought about how to fill in the gaps. Most likely i will start this in the new year. Heck, i haven't even got a good name yet :XD: I will be posting concept art in my art thread, but i shall leave the fate of the blog to the gods. If they are amused enough with my efforts, then it shall be saved from the page eating monster. If not, then I'll just start over. \ Anyway, its probably time i started closing up the blog for now. I shall still be a force to be reckoned with in the forums, and i will keep ye all posted on my progress in the art thread. Until the new year, fangs for the memories and until next time minions, Good fry! EDIT: And merry christmas to you all you miserable sods! :XD:

Thanks, oh, and nope, wasn't mine.

Lol, update Well, i promised a fairly large art thread update, and here it is. By no means finished, but I'd like some critique about how he looks. Runescape, lessee... Ah yes. I am currently in the process of running oak planks with which i will achive the first step of my construction plan: Lv 69.

A new project appears! Its been a few weeks since my last post, and the animations for the live T.V show came out top notch, and it went as good as we could have hoped for. Now that has gotten out of the way, it has made room for me to practice artistic approach, and to come up with a few ideas for a flash series. I've been messing around with this great tutorial i found, and i think its starting to show. I've had this idea for a series for a while now, and below is the starting design for one of the main characters: I even took time to think of a profile for him. As with any idea, anything could change between now and the time i finish the product: Name: Theuss Race: Part werewolf? Background info: Theuss was a soldier working in the 1st division of the army, when he got caught between a power conduit and a powerful curse. The result is that he has lost all of his magical combat abilities, and has become stuck in the form that he is today. As a result, he has developed a bitter personality because of the experience. However, he still has his mechanical skills. Combat info: Theuss used to be able to make use of a wide variety of attacks, but now he has been reduced to using weaponry. He carries a modified light-tech combat pistol, and has a wrist-mounted energy [Caution: Jagex Rule Violation] on his left arm. These things might change yet, along with his design. I'm not incredibly happy with his hands or legs right now, so i will have to make some changes. I'd also like some ideas about what to change in his design.

I use it all the time, unless i just missed the castle wars game or i have to buy/sell something.

Ooh, cheers for reminding me! I'm planning on going to the castle wars event tonight, and i will be packing some serious weaponry. If you see a flying hamster, you'll know its me.

Mood = awesome. Its the day after judgement day, and the show went as perfect as the group could have hoped for. Flash is once again unlocked for my use, Zelda is utterly fantastic, for some reason Runescape's music is working again, and the sun is shining today after a week of being battered by high winds. My idea is finally starting to take shape, so maybe i can start concept art, because i seriously need to get some skills. So soon i am going to start messing around with flash again when i get in the mood: maybe expect a huge art thread update soon. Ooh, and if anyone feels like exchanging Wii numbers with a madman, drop me a pm :D

^That is a blatant rip off of a cornish accent^ Anyway, going to have to to the new quest regardless of rewards, because i still want to wear my cape.
