Congrats! :D Have a fun read.
It seems the spam fluid is begining to work.... o: I personally don't mind that the daughter of Deathspank isn't known. :3
Guys, add me to the list. Now. KITTY YOU SO FINE YOU SO FINE YOU BLOW MY MIND HEY KITTY!! >:3
Same as oblivion_riku, almost. Jak and Daxter's name merged.
Christhor's awesome in this story... >:3
Gah, I'm unavailabe for one night and this many pages has been posted! o: My head hurted yesterday though, meh. To be honest - I dunno who he is either.. X3 The contest I'm joining is here, and some of the characters I liked so that's why I wanted to make a few entries should there be time. http://siliceb.deviantart.com/journal/14398132/#journal
If you want constructive suggestions, I must say that you are having some trouble with anatomy issues. The bodies are kinda wonky, in some pictures they seem to float in midair rather than standing on the ground ( add shadows to keep them on the earth :> ) and the arms are very flat with no sense of shape at all. What I do like is the expressions you wanted them to show, especially the open mouth with a fang on the upper corner. (it is a personal favourite of mine) The best thing you can do is to borrow books about anatomy, or how to draw anatomy - if they have some at the nearest library or book store I would have gotten a copy. It will inspire you loads to try out some of the suggestions they may hold. Another option is to search for tutorials online, DeviantArt has many of them that are interesting to learn from. Here's one that helped me start out should you want to take a look. :3 http://polykarbon.com/tutorials/index.htm
They all seem a bit.... stiff. You'll want to play around more with the body language, especially with sketches is this a must to experiment with. Try to "feel" the shapes you are shaping for each body part, it may help. (I'm not sure that part can fully be explained with words, it's something that needs to be experienced) You're still at the learning stage, so do not be ashamed to borrow poses other artists has drawn. This is how you will learn what looks natural, and eventually you can try out without helping reference. I recommend that you use help lines when drawing a character for better understanding of anatomy. Protip my art teacher gave me that might as well go for all human drawings: the eyes always follow the middle part of the head (horizontal), and the gap between them always follows the middle part as well (vertical). Hoping these tips can help you with what you wanted to know. :> You're definalty on the road.
Third. I want to see this so much you have no idea - I'd be willing to get a PSP. Concidering how often we see Merlin in the other games, it'd be logical to see how he became such a vital part of the overall story in the first place. :>
I highly agree with making Aqua a strong character and Terra non emo-ish. The greatest success would be personalities we have not yet experienced before in the earlier games. It's funny cause it's true.... Not one adult have I seen taking care of them.
I highly support these theories - it just sounds like something that would happen in KH, darker theme or not.
Organisation trinity limit would be...... cute. But would it be called trinity? Dunno - when I see trinity limit I think of the team's friendship and cooperation.
I like the whip idea, it goes well along metal and/or poison. Like a constant snake bite. >:3 Suddenly Ivy Valentine comes to mind...... o: About her using roses.... She's not Shinku. And she's not Marluxia.
They all talked a bit...... slow. Maybe so that the kiddies (Sora) catch up what it was they were saying. But Elizabeth sounded like she was gonna have a mental breakdown at any moment. (maybe not so unlike the movies after all) Thank heavens she doesn't repeat Will's name over and over again in the game.
Fire sounds more risky to do since you have to get in close.... And possibly end up getting hit and lose your own medallions. :/ I'll give Thunder a try though.
One thread necromancy I approve of. :> Righto - the worlds and what I think of them. Twilight Town = I really like it, just for the mood alone. And I was hella confused for what the next day would bring, maybe that's why I have this sympathy for Roxas? It was a world that really dragged me into the happenings, highly enjoyable. Until I was playing as Sora that is, the berserker nobody attack was frustrating. (damn you Saix) But I thank Square Enix for not making this world boring like Destiny Islands was - that one I hated a lot. Twilight Station/dive into the heart, dunn remember what it was called = the mood again, close to epic to me. I totally approve of it, even if it would only last a short moment. The details are amazing - pure eye candy for an artist. Hollow Bastion = When the real action started this world was pownage - I certainly enjoyed the 1000 heartless battle after you have defeated Demyx. And everytime Uncle Scrooge finds the correct recipe for sea salt ice cream it is a personaly victory that's being rewarded, lol. After that it's pretty much ghost town like. Land of Dragons = one of the easiest worlds, had it been slightly harder it could have had something - the potential was there. The line fight was amusing to watch (holy crap, someone punched Sora :D) - I wanted to see a punishment, maybe something to do with the climbing to reach the arrow? The battles were fun though - first time you get to see Xigbar's face too, yay. :> Beast's Castle = this world is love to me, because it's very true to the details that were shown in the movie. Exploring it was very fun, and sometimes you never know when a gargoyle statue is actually alive.. X3 One could say that this world had my attention, and after you beat Xaldin it's a real reward to see the Beast and Belle getting along again. :3 (the boss in the ballroom was fun to play with) Only thing missing was Gaston and the townsfolk, that could have resulted to a truely dramatic ending. (imagines that he'd be manipulated by the Organisation or Maleficent, to take down the Beast) I wanna beat him up. :) Olympus Coliseum = much improvement since the first game, end of story. (I hated Hercules in KH1, the voice alone was annoying) The Underworld was definatly the right area to do all the work in, otherwise it would have been really limited with only Olympus Coliseum. I loved every boss battle here, and sometimes the tournaments are rather challenging to pass. The rule that only gods can do something about Hades in his Underworld was a good add, just think about how dissappointing it would have been without it.. :/ Like someone mentioned earlier - I'd like to see what it's like outside the walls of the Coliseum though. Talk about a cool reward in the end, your team becomes a frikkin constelation! :D Disney Castle = I lawl'd. Looks really wacky, but that's what you can espect from the home of Donald and Goofy. A nice visit. :3 Timeless River = this world was uncomfortable.... The audio and everything was right, but it was a creepy world. Like, something Jack Skellington would have been proud of. I just wanted to get out of there asap before Samara poped up there. *random I know, but I know I would have paniced if there had been a well there* 100 acre wood = My only mission here is to throw Pooh bear off a cliff. I just don't like him, sorry. :/ Atlantica = Talk about dissapointment.. We all agree that the singing is horrible, and the lack of actual in action sucks. I had much more fun in the first game version of this world, but back then the "safe" music was eating my brains alive, dear lord how annoying. (Under the Sea over, and over, and over...) What I liked about Atlantica in KH2 if the music when you just swim around, it is really peaceful - like it should be in the undersea world. Port Royal = the VA's were weird, mostly the ones not being Jack himself - he stayed more true to his .... complicated and confusing personality, so that's good enough for me. I feel sorry for Barbossa, it sounded like he had a cold going on. The moonlight thing was a must for this world, I enjoy fighting the pirates with this challenge - also that most of them require that you counter their attacks with triangle commands. (I missed Norrington, if there was a way to get him into the KH story I wanted to see it, pushing his buttons sounds amusing) Luxord was just the right Org member to mess with this world, when comparing he would almost be the nobody version of Jack Sparrow - manipulating people with the words uttered. Agrabah = This was the first world I got myself lost in.... ^^;;;; Totally dig it, Iago and Genie stay true to their personalities - if not I'd be in nerd rage, lol. Flying the carpet is always something I have wanted to do, pity it's restricted to few areas though. (I wanna see KH do a Jak 3, giving you freedom to use handheld transportation wherever you please) Someone else mentioned the buddy thing that was so clear in this particullar world, I'll have to agree with it. And Jafar is a funny man when he tries to be scary.. XD Halloween Town = The song.... It's stuck in my brain.... Lock, Shock and Barrel were annoying kids, though it is good that they are - it's true to their personalities. Oogie's always fun to fight. :> I kinda like this world, in an odd way I can't explain. Using things in the environment to your advantage dirung battle is something one could have espected from a town like Halloween Town. Pride Lands = The world is definatly one of the hugest changes in movement, it is interesting. It felt like something was missing, it had potential to become even better but missed it. It may be my fandom for the original movie speaking, though. I don't really like that Simba was made this insecure to the range of being a wuss, meh. If the story should improve, maybe you should have been able to see Simba during his childhood as well? Since so much things happened when he himself was a cub, not so much when he was an adult. (since afterall, in the first game he was only a summon - it could have been possible to pull off when the Timeless River thing was possible) Space Paranoids = Not the worst world, but not the best. The dialogues themselves are a challenge to fully understand, it is an interesting challenge to me.. The button mashing really shows, I can tell.. XD To me it's one of the neutral worlds. And the last boss battle is long so it does justice, even if you have to have Tron on your team. (but that's OK since his limit just goes everywhere, pixelizing youe enemies to death) The World That Never Was = the home of the bosses, gotta love that. There's something Sin City-ish about the city that's groundleveled..... I like it...... o: And the headquarter castle is filled with details, very light and close to no colours, sometimes looks spiky like Axel's hair. Definatly a rather surrealistic world, I can digg that. And it requirers a few hours to enjoy fully. :> A good world indeed. Quoted for truth.
Err, I dunno 100%. It may be like Twilight Town the whole region, but from the part I'm from it's way more abandonded almost - closer to Traverse Town/Destiny Islands, it's mostly just people living in houses here and 2-3 shops with a gas station at most. Though the mountains makes me think of Land of the Dragons, there's always some snow. :3
I agree, Moodkip has a point.
Europeans made it sexy. :3
