Thanks. Some of the feedback there is pretty good but it's not really as in-depth as I'm imagining. I was thinking more like here — incl. modifications by the creator based on the criticism & then further refinement, maybe even edits (of midi or the native format of the sound program) from other people. Music is sort-of tricky. "Talking about music is like dancing about architecture.", as someone somewhere once said.

Behance.net has a music category you can use if you sign up as a Creative Professional.  It's a pretty popular site and it's free, too.

I did this differently than I used to paint.

I painted this in grey scale and then threw down color in a multiply layer. On the one hand I didnt need to think about color until the very end but on the other hand the greyscale threw me off because I was doing the whole color=value thing in my head and so when it came time to color some bits, they were either too light or too dark.





 i didnt use any reference for this, not that I'm taking pride in that at all, but rather I did it because I wanted to see just how much I could do from my mind. My only criteria for the assignment was the phrase "layer upon layer". c:

Me and my friends are making a short, 2d sidescrolling survival horror game. I've offered to do all the art assets for the game. He's given one month to finish the game in its entirety. We have about two weeks left and I'm only just making the player character.

Animation is something I never really got into in the first place. Legs are something I still struggle a lot with. Animating legs? Fuuuuck.

Very Cool.

My friends an I have a server where pixel art is running rampant.   It's all been done before but this is our little corner.

I think a music forum in the vein of Pixelation is definitely a possibility. There's no art form that doesn't benefit from critique. I'd recommend http://chipmusic.org/—a forum that has an actual "critique" subforum—but critique is not the focus, and therefore the critique section is nowhere near as active as Pixelation. 8bc is probably your best bet for now. I'd love to see something like Pixelation for music though. Doesn't even have to be chiptune. Maybe I'll start it... one of these days...

BTW, that chipmusic site is great for 8-bit production resources, in the "Hardware & Software" seciton.

Well, this is sort of creative, and definitely off topic...

I took up jewelry making a while ago, and I'm really enjoying it.  I've collected gems and minerals for my entire life, and this kind of provides a great excuse to handle a lot more of them than before.  Plus the photography is fun, too...

[Argyle]

That's a totally awesome hobby, Redshrike!


Been pushing myself to do a comic for the paper I work at every week for personal fun, just finished this week's in the nick of time!

Mah... I liked the waterfall rendering when I was DOING it.^_O
Listening to Fate/stay night soundtrack during this.. that has some awesome songs.

OTOH, I scrawled this out just afterwards, and it possesses the requisite waterfallness. ue.


Argyle: 'Carl Douglas'? Where is the kung fu? LOL, kung fu dinos.

Been a while since I posted any art at all here.

Here's some sketchbook stuff I recently did:
