Drawing December

My game update:   Wasn't planning to resume work until January, but ended up missing it too much to stay away.  Still not in with both feet, so don't go thinking I'm going to have the next release ready early.  Hell, I don't even have a release date in mind yet.

I've been mainly drawing, or trying to remember how to anyway haha.  Each of the characters has a "final" outfit they can unlock in act 3, so I thought that would be a good place to start.  The wizard & warrior outfits are fairly obvious (imo), but I wasn't sure what to give the space marshal.  There's nothing that would really fit the role in a fantasy world & not cover too much skin.  I briefly considered giving her a ninja costume or a wild west duster / trenchcoat.  Then I realized I had skipped the fantasy staple of the chainmail bikini.




Drawing chainmail has proven harder than I thought.  I originally tried drawing each link, but the links ended up being so large that it no longer looks like chainmail.  Sexy perhaps, but not the direction I wanted.  So next I played around with making a rough outline & filling in various hints of detail.  This helps make it look more like chainmail from a distance, and it's probably easier on processing power too.  I still don't think it looks quite right, but it's getting closer.  My complaint now is that it could be mistaken for something frilly or lacy at first glance.  Metal is highly reflective, and I'm not quite conveying that yet.  I think more dark & light detail will help, but my first few attempts ended up looking busy without actually conveying the metal links.  So not entirely sure what I need to do.   I'll play with some more.



Around the Interwebs: 


It looks like some folks have made a World of Warcraft sex game.  Link here.  I haven't played the demo yet, as it doesn't run on my computer.  From what I can tell, they ripped the character models from WoW, added them to a different game engine, and created some sexual poses.  I have to confess, I'm intrigued.  Here's hoping the final product is better than "go kill 10 rats".  =D



And lastly.  ONE MILLION HITS??!??!?!  Don't think I didn't notice that.  Pretty sure I'm supposed to commemorate with some sort of present, but seeing as how I'm just now starting on the game again, I don't really have anything new to offer.  I'd post some fan art, but no one has sent me any.  And it would probably be better than what I can draw, so let's not go that route.  heheheh.  Seriously, thanks to everyone for dropping by.  It's downright awesome to know I'm not the only deviant out there.  <3
