The de-agressors, junkers, crappy mohawk chick, and the spaceships are all for the same game idea as the last thing I posted.

Wait... so was I right about the Shmup thing? I really like the other insects too.

I hate to drop this bomb, but...http://indygamer.blogspot.com/2006/05/within-deep-forest.html

I actually started playing that game a couple of days ago. I'm enjoying it a lot and the game actually has a good chunk of atmosphere without any really elaborate graphics.

Anyway, I wouldn't consider this much of a bomb drop considering that, apart for the ball character and changing materials feature, the two don't really seem to be all that similar. "Within A Deep Forest" is more of an open, ambient, minimalistic sort of adventure than this seems to be.

Also, it's not like either of these games invented the "change materials for strategy" idea. (I'm not bashing the idea. In fact, I'm in full support. It almost always works out nicely.)

So every little while I grab a piece of paper, sit down, and draw nonstop. If for even a few seconds I can't come up with something to sketch, I write something on the page instead. If something looks stupid, that's too bad. I don't allow myself to erase. This is my twelfth one of these "Everything Pages", although I'm almost done my thirteenth. It's cool to look back and see improvement, and I often use the pages as inspiration when I don't know what to draw next.


This is the product of all the time that I wasn't paying attention in Calculus class last week. I started with a wheel on the bottom and improvised my way up. I still need something to write on the banner at the top.

well, if that was the Rorschach test or something, I'd say this is an insect with a piano on top and a minigun in its butt. and it's still alive!

prolly.

That's almost exactly what I saw too, except the minigun was a jet and it seemed like the sort of enemy that would fly by in swarms in a horizontal Shmup. The heart is a nice touch.

Upon review of Xelandos Nafshir's posts I have come to the conclusion that he is a robot.

You beat me to it.

I started listening to a guy called Cas Haley, who was on America's Got Talent.  check it out:

better than sting imo.

"America's Got Talent" was probably the only sort of reality/stage performance/audition show I ever actually bothered watching, and yes, Cas Haley is awesome. Although that ventriloquist still deserved to win.

I heard The Offspring on the radio today in my art class, and almost punctured the eye on my sculpture because they've got a new song out. A few years ago they were all I would listen to.  ::)

I never really payed much attention to them back when they were really big, but one of my favourite radio stations started playing the Offspring on a regular basis a little while ago (mostly "Come Out and Play") and I'm starting to wonder why I didn't listen to them more before.


Does anyone here listen to Focus? They're pretty awesome.

This is some really nice stuff!

My only real criticism would be that the tree in the first image looks a bit too smooth compared to the rest of the image and that the branches on the right side stick out a bit weirdly. I think that they should come out further back. It could also use a few more leaves.

The idea is to use "hexagonal pixels"

Seems more diagonal than hexagonal to me, but I guess "Dixel" doesn't exactly have the same ring to it.

Anyway, I'll probably give this a shot tomorrow. Looks like a lot of fun.

Anyone into metal music should totally take a look at these ;D
Can't say that I know the other bands, but Nickelback never seemed very metal to me...

Weezer, Ween, The Decemberists, Architecture in Helsinki, the Pixies, Björk, They Might Be Giants, Lemon Demon, Punch Brothers, Belle & Sebastian, Barenaked Ladies, Ben Folds, The Microphones, The Rentals, and numerous others.
The Barenaked Ladies don't get half of the credit they deserve. Nice choice.

I agree with what Sherman Gill said about the green. It's a cool effect, but makes some of the more detailed look... confusing. It works nicely on the guy in the middle because his clothing doesn't have as much detail, but for the other two it's a bit distracting. I'm not sure, but I think that you might be able to partially fix this by toning down the brightness on the smaller details.

The scout's arm looks a little weird and I think that the engineer's wrench could use some more detail. Also I agree that the demoman seems too be leaning a little far back.

Otherwise, these are awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing the other 4 (medic and sniper especially).

I like the edits. The reflected light off of the bottom of monteboyd's really helps the metallic look and I Am Uh's edit helps to round out the eye and left foot a bit more.

The only other big thing that I see is that his eye appears to be a little too far to the right side of his body (assuming that his eye is supposed to be centered). Alternatively, his right arm may be a bit too far forward on his body.

It actually reminds me a bit of the robots from the later sections of EarthBound.
