Jem man.... I hope you plan on putting the finished piece up onto NG.... from what you have shown it's looking absolutely great so far!
 Except for the text in the opening sequence you were asking about. It doesnt seem to fit somehow.  You may want to look at other options, or hopefully someone who has had more sleep than I have can come up with some suggestions on how to blend it in better somehow..... Overall though I'm impressed as can be man! Totally looking forward to seeing more progress!

Jemooky, it's looking great! The text at the beginning seems to go too fast. Even though it's probably on long enough to read, the speed at which it appears causes me to think that it will not show long enough to read and I have to really skim over alot of it real fast. Maybe if you had a voice reading the words as they come on? |

Very cool, Jem. It looks like it's coming along brilliantly. On issue of the text, I like the feel, but it's a bit verbose for an intro quote. Perhaps you could track down a simple Haiku that alludes to the same sort of feeling? Either way, you've got me salivating for more RICE!

lol, me too. I love rice Thanks for the comments on the text. Just for the record, it was my idea to take it out, so I don't like it either. That was only the animatic. I have almost all of that sequence animated already, and I left out the quote completely. But I got to admit I liked the feel of it, so I think I'll replace it with a 2 sentence intro. Or maybe I should do Humble's idea and do a Haiku which sets it up. The only reason I wouldn't do that is because despite the way it looks, I'm not trying to make it look japanese. It started with rice. I love rice, and from my experience in asia, it's sort of inspiring to see how a whole culture can be so in love with a single type of food. And then I decided to use an older version of a character I created a few years ago. This character was white, and the only reason you see him with 'asian' eyes is because he's supposed to be squinting, old-man style. And the ninja was actually just a generic cyber-enemy, but I didn't want him to use a gun (because guns are lame), so I gave him a sword. The pieces sort of fell together like that to make it look like it's set in Japan. Now I have no problem admiting that I'm inspired by oriental movies. Obviously, the music in the animatic is a sort of chinese flute, and the fight scenes are very hong kong action movie themed. But I don't want people commenting on how no real ninja would fight to the death over rice or there are no places in japan like the area I show, or the clothes aren't appropriate blah blah blah, and the haiku might give that final push to make them think I'm honestly trying to make a historically accurate flash. Long story short: Yeah, I should change that text Thanks for making me feel so good about it, guys

Whoa, why didn't I think of that? Anywhoo, the next movie I'm making with him is part two of a Nintendo fan-movie, so any enemies I draw will be unoriginal at best. Still, I'm interested to see how my drawing style will Americanize them. Let's just hope I don't end up with this:

These are my leafs:

fdss: And you coulden even critisize Jemooky's pic before asking crit of your own  Looks good. Now you only need to do some texture\shading paint with a smaller-harder brush for the finnishing.. Here's a quick example I did on the tree  Jemooky: Maby the head shoud me moved a bit back? It kinda looks out of proportion.. Nice light\shadow FX you made though |

Yeah, the head really did turn out funky. I'm still tweaking that part. One reason it looks that was is because according to the sprite I was using as reference, Samus' head is really, really long. Another reason is simply was artistic inabilties Here's one last update: Click me. I won't be continuing this one. It's not worth reparing at this stage. (I do kind of like the way that armor turned out) Fdss, you crit mine, I crit yours. :lol: Just kidding. I actually just don't know what comments to make on yours. The most obvious is that you need to define the shapes more, like what Comlock did. Since you're using a mouse, you might consider using the burn/dodge tools over the brush. |

Prickles in one of his various stretch poses for the skinning process.... As you can see, there are still quite a few areas to work out in the knees and elbows, just to name a few... Hopefully I'll get time to re-texture him, I'm really unsatisfied with the current one...

Here is a few pics. Hope some one with vast knowlege can guid me in the right way.

hey, your plans seem to be coming along well, its good to see some of your work ;). i guess the only reason why it is hard to understand is because it is just simple sketches, but keep it up and work hard and that could turn out really well good work

Niiice, Espen. One suggestion I'd make is blocking in all the base colour before fleshing out the details. Areas like the grass tips typically blend with the sky and thus as it stands, you'll be "re-blending" after you block in the sky. Overall it's looking fit! :lol: |
