Unnamed Quality Project In Progress!

[Digitally-Deviant]

I'm willing to help you out if you've got questions about anatomy and such, I'm ok with Flash animation, if you need help doing something specific with that.

I've committed to drawing an hour a day, this upcoming year; so I'll be drawing

There's always room for contributors~

I'd do the negotiations, but I'm but a humble peon T^T

[Digitally-Deviant]

lol, no negotiations required I'm not making any major commitment, just offering a bit of assistance as here and there. I've actually got a game Unity game project I'm working on.

That would be extremely useful. Any chance you have skype? Would love to talk to you about the project!

[Digitally-Deviant]

It's probably more convenient to e-mail for now anyway. Doesn't require us to be present at the same time, and also give me the benefit of being able to think about questions before responding. No worries though, I pretty much always respond within 24 hrs, usually less unless I'm traveling or occupied.

You could have Myuu do you're initial character, and I could trouble shoot any problems with the model

Actually I'm intreasted to see how Myuu would interpret the character given a free hand

[ctseth1988]

I am currently studying animation, so I have a few techniques to share with you to help improve your skills. as long as you have the desire to improve, and the time, you will improve.

the first thing to understand, animation without references (even professionally speaking) will fall apart quickly.
second, proportions are important, the average adult is about 7 heads tall, and roughly 3 heads wide.

one of the best ways to improve and understand how the body moves when you move a limb, or when any part of the body is moving, is to watch and replicate workout videos. start with one limb at a time, then move on to torso. when you move on to sex sequences reference live porn.

as far as shadows go, when using flash it is best to use grouping:
i.e.: Group>arm>arm_shadow/arm

[Myuu]

Juggling responsibilities is a pain -3-

I'll get to your interpretation after a bit, Deviant~

Here's a model body for the anime-ish character template. I went 'general' with the body. If people want something more lithe or more sexually oriented/defined, we could do that. If there's some stuff that would work great with the last model, or you think this model should be the new model for the body, then... well, we'll need to break it to the boss man

(Also, random notes and thoughts on paper. Comment at your own discretion -3-)

Hey Myuu,

Your basic design looks solid to me, I especially like the little emotes you threw in with it.

one inspired me


I might try to make a game with emote-faces.

I might try to make a game with emote-faces.

Actually, I had a 'Daft Punk'-like character planned. She'd just wear a helmet, but images/emotes would flash. Debating on her being a sexbot/human :/

Among other characters~

one inspired me

Ah, my 'Not sure if' face. Shamelessly ripped off Fry, but I had my reasons~

You could make a comic with your little sketches. I wanted to try a few times, but I lack the drive. Oddly, I find myself contributing to games/projects, which are far more difficult to forge to life >.>

[Digitally-Deviant]

Hey Myuu,

I'd be happy to rough out your character for if you send me a sample image, robots can be sexy.

we could do an emote-bot sex game, or more likely just a scene games are a lot of work.

Oh, it'd be easy. Five major parts: Head, Torso, Pelvis and Legs, Left arm, Right Arm. From my perspective, it'd be a front-view game.

There'd be music, the helmet would show her emotions, and there can be up to three people per session. I'd personally find a way to make it continuous (to an extent) with a cum-layer system, where the previous amount would remain and the rest would stack/build up.

We could throw a whole bunch of ideas at this... but it may not be as simple. But that's a long ways away... and I might convince/bring up the possibility of it with BCM, so you needn't worry, unless you want to lead the programming.

But I'd have one condition. The integral addition of my internet mascot!

[Digitally-Deviant]

lol, although I can script I prefer to draw, and animate, at least in flash. I'm looking forward to seeing what BCM does. Is he going with your remodel?

[Myuu]

No word from the boss-man.

He could be away... or he could be busy on something hush-hush >.>

My lips are sealed~

[BCM]

Hey guys, sorry was away. Maybe a week more. Glad to see the forum is moving!
I don't want to waste any time on animation until a final version is decided.
Also waiting on a side view of this model to be able to "sync" the animations more appropriately.

Welcome back BMC. Do you have a GDD - "Game Design Document" written up?

[BCM]

Welcome back BMC.

Thank you my good sir!

Do you have a GDD - "Game Design Document" written up?

Not really.. The game design is relatively simple and have already discussed with Myuu.
Honestly, wouldn't want to go into much detail, more of the game explaining itself.

Although it is a possibility that I drop the project for now and start learning to draw; I don't know how much Myuu is able to really contribute.
Currently downloading about 10gigs of books, including the "How to draw Manga" series.
Although I'm more interested in the cartoon style rather the "japanese anime" style, I can't find anything on it.
Any pointers on where to start would be much appreciated!

"Action! cartooning", by ben Caldwell, and "all about techniques in drawing for animation production" barron's

Both are good, and done in cartoon style. not anime.

Thanks for the quick reply DD! (May I call you DD? )
I fear I was vague. That is a bit too cartoony and seems more of a "frame by frame" animation.
I was thinking more of this styles:

Oh and I will be starting to post my personal nooby artwork here:

Action! cartooning, is done in that style, and show you how to do the bodies, face, eyes, etc.
