 Sad Yeah and the guy missed his own head. Well he did hit it, but it wasn't lethal.

Bummer.

Actually it was lethal... They both shoot near brains and didn't die so quick but it was lethal in both cases. (very sad case btw.)

Ponton: He was just found dead in a training facility locker room. Shot in the head.
Inspector Jacques Clouseau: Was it fatal?
Ponton: Yes.
Inspector Jacques Clouseau: How fatal?
Ponton: Um, completely.
Inspector Jacques Clouseau: I want to talk to him now!
Modern artists are told that they must create something totally original-or risk being called "derivative".They've been indoctrinated with the concept that bad=good.The effect is always the same: Meaningless primitivism

Wario Land Shake It - fun YouTube takeover

Reply #782 on: September 24, 2008, 04:00:46 pm
This is a nice ad spot on YouTube:

Aside from the cool takeover on YouTube I just wanted to point out how nice the graphics of Wario Land are looking. Probably the best use of black outlines in a game I've seen!

I must say Mirror's Edge has got some really awesome visual design. Clean, simple, colourful, and shiny without looking artificial. Urban decay as a look of a futuristic city has already been done so many times. The best thing however is the main character, Faith. Simple character design, yet instantly recognizable, and what's really awesome is that despite having Asian features her name isn't Mizuki or Sakura or whatever, but it's Faith. I just love that.

A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

Hmm, well, umm, hmm, I have just ordered myself a copy of Warhammer Online Age of Reckoning. Mostly because I know I'm gonna be bored when I'm out of job, and my friend has a great influence on me. :P I usually like what he likes.

Maybe it'd be prudent if we started an "Introduction to Observational Drawing Thread"?  It seems like advice that gets given out here a lot is to do more more more building of traditional skills, and it might be useful if he had a place to direct people new to drawing from life.

   Like a traditional art thread, or just anything drawn from life? I'd like to see something like that, but activity for it may fade away in the long run, as we already have an anatomy thread, as well as an ot creativity thread...so many categories, my mind is blowndeded'!

   Also would like to mention that I spoke to a elderly customer who couldn't understand the concept of turning 2 separate devices on or off with 1 remote for their cable service. This was the longest 30 min. of my life.
my back hurts...
