Babble

Is it becoming a trend or something? The posts and blogs I've been reading recently aren't posts and blogs anymore, but more like essays.

Not that I'm complaining. Hell, I've been wishing that there's more of that for a while now.

The problem though, is that, somehow, the length of posts are inversely porportionate to the amount of time I can actually spare to reading them at the time.

There I was, wishing for long, meaty blogs all long, and when they come, I have no time to read them (I barely have time to write my blogs).

Funny how these things turn out.

Anyway, I've been so busy the past couple of days that I completely screwed up my game-dev plans. I've been doing so many things at once that I'm accomplishing nothing of any worth.

Eh.

I'm trying to beat down that perfectionist in me, telling it that it doesn't really make THAT much of difference in the end.

Oh well.

Yeah, I know, I'm babbling. Shush.

Oh right, I got a new, old scanner from a friend. Finally, I can generate new graphical content, since I'm line-art oriented. Not that I'm a decent artist - hell no. I'm pretty bad. I mean, I can't do any pixel art… yet. 3D art is beyond me. And my line art themselves are questionable. The only thing I can do really well is drawing real life, which… isn't particularly useful in game development.

So yeah, let's celebrate with a rough, random 10-minute character sketch I just did. Feast your eyes (or not)!

You like thin girls? :P Well, it’s your style.

Overall is good, but the high heels… I think the high heels don’t go well with the clothes she worn. I feel those clothes are “everyday costumesâ€? that you can go walk around the street. High heels, on the other hand, make a girl look like a higher class. Let’s change that since Ruby is not a higher class, and also it’s just doesn’t fit.

Is it possible for a "rough" sketch to be perfect? O_o" Weird.

Anyway, thin girls? You haven’t studied manga drawing, have you? I’m just following an established, standard convention, since I have no “styleâ€? at this point, considering my level of skill. Who are you kidding? :P

Doesn't matter much really. I mean, hey, it's a 10-min doodle.

>You refer to “stylesâ€? too much.

When I said "style" there, I meant "style" as in what kind of girls you like, not manga style or anything else.
