A few things to present

Well, it's my weekend off. And what do you know? I've actually done stuff. Woot.

Anyway, here's my latest excuse for art:

Made under great strain using the new version of GIMP, which just happens to remove all the brushes I like to use, forcing me to make them myself…

In other news, my game is coming along nicely. I added a fully functional Metroid map system, a custom scrolling system, and the ability to pick stuff up Mario 2 style and throw things.

Oh yeah, I ordered a contract today. From a cellphone provider. Not for a cellphone (Exclusively, anyway). I'm getting me a Dell Inspiron R15 N5050 laptop, along with a Samsung Galaxy Pockey for a laughably affordable price (After I ditched the data plan).

Why a laptop? Lolidunno. It is more powerful than my PC, with the exception of the graphics chipset; but at least I'll be able to carry my work around with me…

I'm still gearing up to do an extra long blog. Need some interesting stuff to happen to me first, though…

'The amount of time you put in is also a factor.

I know some people who have tried bypassing the process of inking pencil art and the results are never that great.

The messy lines just make it look like they're moving fast. Pretty cool, pretty cool. How long did it take you to draw it?

Two weeks. Working in small bursts.
