Riko-kun's Sketch blog

Once again, my sketch book is full. It's printer paper time again! Oh well. And if that's nod bad enough, my cellphone is broken. That means no blogging from opera mini (and there is a new OM 4 beta too! I wan't to try it out! T_T) and more importantly it means, i have to use my dad's old Nokia phone. I HATE Nokia T_T The phone is not even ringing, when someone calls me...

Oh well, that's enough. I sound like an angsty teenager and i'm way past that age.

So just to let you know that there are good things happening here, i will be moving in a month or two. WAI! Can't wait. It will be much more difficult for me, more expensive and everything, but i will have my own space and not just a room at my parrents place.

Hopefully, i will start drawing comics again there. I want to have a table just for drawing (something i don't have right now). I have like three scripts in my head right now and a friend wants me to draw his comic strip. WOOOT! Now how to make money out of this, cause my job is killing me and it's taking the time i coul'd been drawing something from me.

(Oh and BTW, there is one another problem with that place. There is no internet there... Ehm... I really need to do something with this...)

See you later people.

All pictures i'm posting in this weekly sketches was made on last comics workshop. Well, i did lotsa more pictures there, but only this three are not so bad. So, first is skatch i did for dynamic poses training, second is tree training (again ~_^) and third id a pocture that people like for some reason. Dunno why, it's not so good O_o

Another experiment.
I have got some issues with the drawing itself, but i like the screentones somehow. I think they are the best i sis so far. Simple, but still best ^_^;
Oh and i forget to mention ti yesterday, so i have to credit my friend Yusaku today, for he is the one who is translating my comics-like images into english ^_^ Thanks dude.

Ok, we have progressed as much that we have first version of game engine now. Muted is so cool guy ^_^ For this moment it works just under linux but that will change later.
Anyway i'm working on simple test scene. The engine works this way. I render 6 pictures (forward, right, backwards, left, top and bottom) and the engine puts it together so it looks semi3D. What is good about this way is that we can have much nicer pictures then real 3D graphics can produce right now. We can have soft shadows and bumpmaping and subsurf modeled meshes and it will work even on relativly slow computer. But you can only stand on predefined places, can't walk around freely and so on. But i liked MYST soooo much i just want to make oldschool game like this ^_^

Here are some pictures. Unwraped cube with textures and screenshot from the engine.

Wasn't updating the blog for a while but it wasn't because i was not drawing or anything, quite the oposite. With a friend we have decided that we have too much of a free time so we will try to make a computer game ^_^
My vote was for MYST-like game and my friend decided it's a good idea. So right now, i'm learning to use Blender and Yafray, making some renders and such. This is last result of my efforts:

As you can see, there is lotsa work to do and if you have some idea how to impruve the picture, please share them with me. I woul'd be greateful.

Otherwise i'm still drawing on the paper too of course. Here, have a look on one of my pictures and one doodle made on 10x10cm paper with ball pen. I trust you can tell which is which ~_^


Oh and i have reached 1000 viewings of my blog. Thank you very much ^___^
