dude in a cool (space?) suit.

hot hot pixel art action!

this was my first pixel art ever, it was also my proof of concept for this new super secret project XNA03. I have just one thing to say, pixel art is hard shit. I must say though, the end result turned out pretty awesome. Baconoscopy.

This guy, lemme tell you… this guy took forever to make. I must’ve redrawn and reworked the 3/4 front 500 times.  Drawing perspective with this pixel stuff is really troublesome, and theres the whole sucking at drawing thing along with that.

man, i need to not use green and grey brown for my sketches. XD they’re starting to all look the same these days.

So I’ve been drawing robots:

Drawing robots is fun. I’ve not cut loose and drawn like this in a while, its good to dust off the ol’ tablet now and then and do some stuff.

So a couple weeks ago ( months maybe? my ability to judge time seemingly ended when I moved to the big apple ) I got it into my head that i should make another Diablo/ RO game. Robot game was born.

Here are some initial sketches I did.

I don’t believe in scanners, only Bacon Jesus.

Made some quick orthos:

Brought it into flash and did some animatin.

So now that that was done, I went about making the engine. I’ve done a lot of papervision work, so I decided to try out Away3D this time. I must say that overall im very pleased with Away3D.

Here are some of my initial Engine tests:

.

So after I figured out how Away3D does things, implemented some simple displacement on the ground, and casted a few rays into the ground, I was ready to bring the robots back into the mix.

And thus, Robot prototype 01 was forged from the fires of my bowels.

Here is the current version, Prototype 02C ( the C stands for chocolate ) The project is somewhat on hold now, as the man saw fit to give me real work to do again. For shame.

Dicking around, and let me tell you, dicks are one thing I’m not lacking.

.

donno why, just did.

So, as I am at work, or thinking about work, most of the time. I keep a “doodle” FLA on my desktop. Every time I need 10 minutes i sketch something with the ol tablet. Here would be some of the more presentable ones.

bunnysuits are always awesome.

I suppose this is a battle ostrage.

These are some characters I planned to use at one point in something or other…

What would doodling be without drawing the anime ladies? Better? You’re probably right, but nonetheless it must be done.

So I started playin around with chronos again, looks like Ford’s got a new build of the song so Id like to kick off a new render of the visualization. Some WIP shots.

So still workin, I think im going to change the colors some more. Definatley not there yet.  Should have a render up reletivley soon.

Hah! Looks like EcoHero was mentioned on the FWA a lil bit. Apparently Ayaka had submitted this guy there half-drunk.  *_* It’s also submitted to the adobe awards. We’ll see how that goes. A little ego boost pour moi!
