I'm just idk. It feels like no matter how hard I try i can't get it. And my stuff is often so bad people think i'm intentionally trying to make it look bad. but i really do try as best i can.
Hello, I'm looking for sprite artist for my visual novel island of perdition. I am looking to get a demo done by the end of the year and for the demo I will be doing limited amount of sprites per characters. With the demos success (or failure) I will look to do more sprites. Hopefully someone can match the artstyle shown and to be clear on the work, for athalia the character pictured in image 1 i will need 2 full body poses as shown both in her default outfit on the left. the left pose will have facial expressions of the 3 reference images. the right pose will have facial expressions of the 4 facial expressions there and she will need to be put in her hotel uniform.
The second image shows the work from my previous sprite artist. Please not this game is not NSFW there is no explicit nudity, Yoneko is just a saucy girl. If I end up liking the work and move forward with you there will be 7 other characters and for the demo i'm only doing 2 body poses per character. Except for Yoneko since i already have her other poses and she's special to me anyway. Obviously I would really prefer if you have previous work and experience as a vn sprite artist but if you are capable of matching the style I will consider those without experience. I prefer to go through Vgen but am open to other options. Thanks in advance.
WE STAYIN IN DA HOOD WITH THIS ONE!
maybe one day i'll actually be half decent at drawing.
Phew. It's been an emotional and tedious 6 months working on the 3rd draft. I should have finished it a lot sooner, I definitely had the time but I've had a lot of struggles internally.
Anyway, many of you will call this sacriledge but one of the biggest changes I made to the visual novel is to add a lot more to it. I also removed a lot of fluff but I extended the game quite a bit. Since some sections have had 3 pass overs and some sections are basically in a first draft state, is it better to focus on just the new sections first and then do a full pass over of everything one more time? Or should I just do one pass over of everything at once? Would love to hear from anyone who has experience writing long visual novels.
Probably gonna take a break from this project for like a week though and write some other stuff, it does feel really good to finally have the 3rd draft finished, I know I won't be adding any more sections in the next pass through. My main issue though is I want to make a demo for the game that covers the first day and I'm wondering if that section really needs another go through or not. Any advice, input, perspective appreciated.
I gotta figure out shins and knees man. Elbows too they trip me up something fierce
I don't know how to learn anatomy though cause i don't know how to do construction cause i don't know how to draw cubes in perspective and i've tried dozens of times to learn. So, basically after 8 months all i've learned is basic shading. oh i mean i guess i have learned some anatomy just not how to apply it like facial structure, the collar bones, that the spine is curved. etc.
I've noticed this sub is vehemently opposed to anyone using ai even if it's to make their first game that's free and learn ren'py. Would you honestly see a free game that looks like this and play it? If your answer is i would not play this game or the AI game then my point is that it shouldn't matter if you use ai if this is the extent of your drawing skills. not to mention this is the best I personally can do after 8 months of trying to learn, so some people are at complete 0 and dont have access to CSP.
I've seen a couple tierlists now saying Mahiru fans are as bad as Hiyoko and Mikan fans? What's wrong guys? Just because I wish mahiru was real and would give my left kidney and drag my balls through 10,000 miles of broken glass in the hot desert while vultures circle over top of me just so I can smell her armpits doesnt mean im scary.
Just because I wish a tomboy redhead gf would enter my life and make me improve myself while I also help her through her insecurities leading to us having raw passionate ****** where I ***? Her **** and she rips off my **** while I **** **** **** and *** she ****** then ******. And I want her to spit in my mouth and step on my chest. Is that really so wrong?
I don't get it. Following your advice yeah sure. hurts my head trying to understand this.
I'm gonna Fck Shuichi, Marry Maki, and even though he's a real one, I'm gonna kill Kaito. But, only cause he's gonna die soon anyway, it's a mercy kill. Sorry, my brother. i'll make sure Maki knows love.
I noticed everyone was killing hiyoko and sato so let's toss in tenko and see what you do with 3 of the most hated girls.
Personally im marrying hiyoko, f***ingredients sato, and killing tenko.
Marry mahiru, fuck Natsumi and kill sato.
(Ngl Natsumi and mahiru are really close for me and part of me wants to marry Natsumi more but I feel committed to the bit)
I want to say that I by no means hate chihiro. I find chihiro to be alright as a character but honestly I completely forget Chihiro exists at times. Like for a while when I would think about the game Chihiro just wouldnt come to my head and I'd replay the game and go oh yeah right you're in this game. But online i constantly see chihiro ranked as one of the best characters in the series I just find that extremely surprising.
I dont understand sketches, or line arts, or how to break things into shapes.
I've tried proko, drawabox, drawlikeasir and a ton of other shit. Everytime i try to learn how to draw basic cubes, and shit in perspective I get a throbbing migraine level headache i had a person from here give me an hour long lesson on one point perspective and they ended it saying wow you're doing good that was perfect! But I had no idea what I even did, the lines hurt my brain, All I can do is make crappy copies. I can't understand these concepts I have tried over a dozen times to learn perspective and the fundamentals. And yeah i saw some jerk on here one time say come back after you try a hundred times. Well, I'm hating this. I'm hating drawing i'm hating artists. I'm hating art. I wish I hated manga, anime, and vns so i could just be a normal loser novelist making stupid stories that no one reads. But, Noooo. I want to make vns. I want to draw saucy anime girls. I want to make cgs and all this other stuff and I'm stuck in a loop. I draw crap like this it's bad it's a complete failure her hand looks like it's coming out of her chest. So, then I know i'll get told go learn the fundamentals. So, then I try through all these resources and even a teacher and i feel PHYSICAL pain from my brain trying to process it oh and there we go just thinking about it is giving me a headache wonderful.
So, then my friend says that's too advanced just draw anime a bunch. But, just drawing anime a bunch isn't teaching me anything. I'm just learning how to copy. And I know this is the beginner trip i've seen all the videos of people who learned to draw anime saying that you have to learn real anatomy and how to do basic shapes. Well, I can't learn anatomy if i can't do basic shapes and everytime i try to learn basic shapes it gives me a headache. Whenever I do drawabox's cube homework I feel completely lost if i'm not copying their examples one to one. Whenever I stare at the one point perspective with the thingy I get lost whenever I try to go from 2d to 3d. Every tutorial is like this over and over anytime i try to go from 2d to 3d my head hurts and it's been like this since college, highschool, middle school the optical illustion hurts my brain.
'A teacher didn't work, books didn't work, youtube tutorials didn't work. What am I even supposed to do at this point?
