GOOD VIBRATIONS.

Boys and Girls!

I did some tiny picture story by accident while my daughter tried to improve her crawling skills. I worked on it over a few days just for some minutes. I tried a coloring but I prefer the "naked" version. Ah, when I had to name the file after scanning I listened to the BEACH BOYS.


Cheers, Robert

I WANNA MAKE A COMPUTER GAME #3.

Hey Folks!

We got a little further with the thing that’s hopefully turning out as a computer game. After I tried the character with pencil and faded digital colors last time we decided to try a new look. Flow placed the figure in some of the mood pictures and we saw that the character doesn’t work well with the hard outlined backgrounds. The best result made a picture made with charcoal. So we decided to implement the style with charcoal. Everything. Characters, objects, landscapes.

First I drew the character map once again which was great fun because drawing with charcoal is way faster than with pencil. Last year, we already had some plans to do shit like we're doing right now and I thought about drawing with charcoal and so I did a rough test animation of the landscape. I wanted to try the effect of different layers in association with the blurring of the atmosphere. I gave Andi and Flow the graphic parts and they built a quick and dirty test room, where they placed the charcoal character and voilà: the style looks great.

From the technical side we also want a blurry visualization to the player but we have to see how can achieve this without wasting all performance resources.

I just added some modular plants and a connectable tree and Flow did a nice landscape today. Ah, and we did a first rough level map which shall give us some visionary guiding light.

Cheers, Robert

HEY KING! - BLOG ONLINE.


Hey Dudes!

I just launched a new project. My new blog "HEY KING!" is online! From now on I will do a weekly cartoon to push myself a little in a creative way. The cartoon's about the horse King and the girl Mona and can be read by all dudes that are able to speak German.The form is very loose. I just use a pentel pen to illustrate the created dialogues and do a slightly coloring with pencils. Visit the BLOG frequently and don't miss a single issue!


Cheers, Robert
