(a rather late) merry christmas from teehee and heaty! <3
recently found a really good texture pack and have been messing with it *v*b
hope everyone's christmas went well! we had a sumptuous spread for lunch over at my place, with direct and extended family; the food was really good (thanks mum) TTvTT/////
the best present i received was from my brother: a tomato cushion! mum knew i was eyeing it the last time i went shopping with her, and told him. haha he thought it was a pretty useless present, but i really do like it ahhh TvT///
next to another food-related cushion! felyne and steak from the monster hunter franchise *v*
a super quick kenshin doodle after watching the live action movie! mann, that series brings back good memories =v=///
testing out a different style! stupidly saved this as the wrong file type, and lost all the layers, so i continued working on everything with the help of the magic wand TT3TT;;;; mad props to people who work on one layer!
last week, i got to try one of those newfangled intuous(es??)! there were a bunch of us, and we were all really stoked to try them in this classroom where every computer was hooked up to one *A*//// it was surprisingly a little hard to get used to, and i think the colour calibration was a tad off, but it was a really interesting experience//////
a quick 1 hour (?) doodle with the intuous!
the photoshop program didn't lag as well, and everything operated really smoothly! it was such a dream dTTvTT///
we were encouraged to create a character for a game we were supposed to make, and so i came up with mia!
a test walk cycle, frame by frame, using a
reference sheet i found online:
we had to create this game in FLASH and the last time i touched the program was.... maybe 8 years ago??? i was really bad at it tooOTLOTLOTL;;; anyway i tried to recreate the walk cycle via flash:
it's laggy when i save it as a gif a-and i don't know why ahhhhhhh still have no idea how flash works;;;;;;; also had an animation of mia jumping, but that one didn't save properly or something like that, so i don't have the file sob;;;;;;;
the game we all had to create was pretty rudimentary (game template: dodge obstacles, and collect points from objects; all these are flying towards you), and i experienced countless problems trying to make it work;;; am glad to say it *kind of* works now;;;; i still have absolutely no clue how to code actionscript, so i suppose this game will forever be left in its half-baked state. oh well TvT;;;;
screenshot of mia walking through air, collecting stars while dodging clouds.
if i still had that jump animation file, and knew how to stick that in, i'd make her jump to get her stars, rather than lamely walk up and down like that ^p^;;;;;;;;
ROTG stuff
i would've liked to see him wear the shoes, just for the lark of it =v=;;;;
meh, not too pleased with how these turned out. need to learn how to be consistent with styles;;;;;
don't know if i'll be putting any other posts before 2012 ends, but here's to wishing everyone a happy end-of-year! hope the final days of 2012 won't be too hectic for everyone ;v;
