WIP; cover candidate. [image] Edit: Whoops! Sorry for the peach background. I use it to judge when to take a break (If the background's white, take a break) and apparently I was in need of one when I posted, lol.

Hatching practice... [image] ...The nice thing about practicing hatching is that I usually draw better straight lines as a result : )

Same character of late, just incognito. [image] But really, more coloring practice; focusing more on the background. Edit: Had to fix the perspective on the bar stools. OCD and all, lol.

Which perspective drawing is correct? Need help

Reviews | Feedback

2-point perspective. In that, the only way to draw that cube-pylon next to the bench in that way is to have 2 vanishing points. The second vanishing point would remain on the horizon line but be on the left size with it's upper and lower limit going from left to right. Edit: A_Toad's got it. Never …

Addition to my Twitter Banner. [image] But honestly, more coloring, effects and proportion practice.

More shading, coloring practice: [image] I bailed on the perspective of the head and hands, so that's kind of throwing everything off.

Sims 3 vs Sims 4 - Where do you stand and why?

Yeah, I hadn't bought it yet because supposedly they went the "Vampires" Game-Pack route (ie a system-feature and a Town). But it sounds like they didn't even do that. Personally, they haven't put out a good Game-Pack since Outdoors (Oh and yes, Jungle Adv was similar in design to Outdoors at leas…

Another 'for fun' one: [image] ...which lately have been doubling as character concepts ...and tripling as coloring practice, lol.

Sims 3 vs Sims 4 - Where do you stand and why?

In a meandering sort of way I came to appreciate The Sims 4 as a proper sequel to The Sims 2. The Sims 3 was a once in a developer's lifetime masterpiece (when complete) that'll always be hard to top. When I first got Sims 4, I was reminded heavily of going from Civilization 3 to Civ4 (and 5 and 6…

How Do You Consume a Story?

I am definitely the more removed, voyeuristic approach. On a semi-related side not, this also appears to influence how I play video games. Where some are really invested, immersed through the characters in a video game, I stay detached and ponder more if this particular character would, as written…

If you where a villain what would you do?

Do an Ozymandias move, but use the internet, since it's a power he didn't have access to in his timeline.

Tapas avoids making YouTube Channel?

Well, there's this, https://www.youtube.com/user/TapasticDotCom/videos, but after the app launch it wasn't very active (or watched). If anything, their Twitter does more on the promotion front. Which makes sense, since all you need is a screen shot and a quip to promote on Twitter.

Chosen one bad guys

Oh absolutely. The most overused, at least back in the 1970's, 80's and 90's were the various depictions of the antichrist, a notable chose-one/prophesied baddie. Edit: I guess what was supposed to make the antichrist(s) so frightening is that according to prophecy, you couldn't stop them.

Whats your thoughts on heavy exposition/prolouges?

Heh, not really a point, but one of the best openings I've seen that broke every rule was the one in the sci-fi film Serenity. Joss Whedon wrote a teacher exposition dump, inside of a nightmare, inside of a flashback, inside of holographic security footage. Magnifique!

Whats your thoughts on heavy exposition/prolouges?

The way I look at it is that a heavy exposition filled prologue is a viable and valid literary method of introduction, but it's old, outdated and overused. It's for beginners, which is what some of us are on here. There are more advanced tools to use; like say a prologue that follows the day in th…

I'm sick. Is anyone else sick?

Man, it went around the whole church last month. Spread really quick too. I didn't catch that one though, knock on wood, but that probably means the really bad one I had in October was the first wave. Hope y'all get better soon.

What's your sense of humor?

For me it's slapstick.

A 'for fun' one. Something to practice coloring and shading with. [image] I guess one could call this my take on a boob-butt-pose.

Story creators, what would you do with an overpowered villain?

That's basically how I have the Chibi Apocalypse ending in my Ultimate-Mega-Crossover Fan Fiction. The Chibi* conquer earth, play house a bit, then get bored and leave for another universe. *Demonic little girls that replicate a chibi female version of anybody they devour (Think: Demonic army of N…

Thin or thick outlines?

Thinner. Although I do like how the thicker eyes look. So, if you bring anything over from the thicker, I recommend the eyes.

Is original story telling dead?

I keep seeing fresh stories. Some through plot construction. Some through pov changes. Some through scope. So no, I wouldn't say original story telling is dead. As with all things though, one would have to look outside pop culture to find it, since pop culture is, by design, unoriginal. Edit: With…

Establishing Stories

I usually have a plan. That plan has various layers, with varying degrees of detail, but I can't say I have every detail laid out. My brain doesn't work like that. To me, laying out every detail would encompass knowing exactly how many chapters/issues a story was going to span and the details of e…

What series have you give up on lately and why?

Recently, it would be Better Call Saul. I literally lost the show. I know I should be patient, and that a year and a quarter wait between seasons is pretty much the norm now, but when I checked back in at February this year and it was still 3 months or so away, I just gave up on it. Almost had a s…
