Just a quick play with Open Canvas. I always find if I’m stuck for an idea, I just pull out my encyclopedia of costume and thumb through it ’till I get some inspiration.
As you can see I came unstuck with the hands. Short of prancing around in front of a mirror with a sword, nothing was really working… so I gave up. I may go back and work over it a bit more later, I just wanted to knock something out quickly (yeh yeh, feeble excuse).
By the wonder that is Open Canvas, you can play back the drawing in progress. You’ll need the Open canvas freeware .exe which you can download here. The .exe doesn’t install, it just runs from whatever location you save it to. Once you have that you can click on the playback file and choose oC11b71 to open it. It’s in Japanese, so just click on OK and watch the fun. It’s a good job it doesn’t pick up sound or I’d have to go through and censor it afterwards.
To see a real master at work with this, go and check out one of Chris Tessmer’s playback files.

Back at work tomorrow. Though if truth be told I’ve been breaking my neck all weekend getting stuff done so that I’m not badly behind for the next milestone. I should probably explain milestones shouldn’t I? Sorry, not tonight too fugged. I will at some point in the near future try and post some blogs about what it’s like working in the games industry. From pitch to Beta, or something like that. Not sure anyone would be remotely interested, but it might dispel some of the rosy images people might have about us sitting around on our asses all day playing Counter-Strike. That doesn’t usually start till after 6pm.

Almost forgot. This is something I ‘did on my holidays’. Arf, how childish does that sound? Anyway, it was done for a friend for something I can’t discuss. I figure that you can’t glean much from it except it’s an advancing army.. and that’s not giving anything away. Trust me.
Digital paint, combined with digital photography for the sky, cos I didn’t have time to faff about painting clouds. Plus, hey they’re my photos!
