LoL, I do some art now and then, but I feel so inferior in front of these grand artists :)

Great work!

Geh I was fraid\' that\'s how things seemn\'d to be goin.... sad... that\'s all.  If thas\' really how it is... please don\' stop hangin round the game, least checkup to see when it hits CB.  Regardless of wat\' they\'ll take for the game, you given plenty to the community =).
Ninjas have feelings too.  Mostly they feel like dancing.

Just make the most out of it. :)
Now you\'ve got time to do some random artwork again, no more do-this and do-thats. ;)
I don\'t think that there\'s a lot of need for art atm, they\'re mostly just cleaning up the code and eliminating bugs.

We should all email Talad on Kintalls behalf.  We can have an old fashioned forum uprising!

I don\'t want to upset you, you have good art, coloful, joyful etc. but as much as it is, to me it doesn\'t look more than just vivid cartoons.
But you are getting there, on last few compositions your hand seems to becoming adept.
You are right, your style is much different, but it\'s really not unique.  I see plenty of it on online comix, where the atmosphere suppose to be playful and anime like.
Basically you draw in your style and continue to do so, but maybe try to learn different ways or something, it won\'t hurt u one bit, maybe u\'ll even like it oO

Does that mean you need some more requests to keep you inspired?  ;)

And thanks for that tutorial on the little radial blurring, it was quite helpful, though Im afraid I can\'t practice as much as I want anymore X(

I\'ve just look at some of your work Kintall. It\'s obvious that between the first and last pic of this post you\'ve made progress.

You know, if you want to join a game team, you must fit to the setting and style, you don\'t always have the choice in what you\'re doing.
Planeshift is far from being the common thing you said. There are tons of freedom in drawing and creating monsters and environnment especially.

Yes the playable races are pretty common. Why? Because it\'s a way of avoiding mistakes that can\'t be repaired by making too original (and so without too much informations) main characters. So we can work their background.

Now, I\'m not surprised that Talad hasn\'t taken you in the team. I think your work is good but doesn\'t fit with character concept. You should work more on texture and details of your drawing or it will not be really useful for the modelers.
It could work on some manga-inspired games but PS tend for more realistic graphics.

Anyway, if you want to be part of the team, try to fit to PS style.
I don\'t know if you intend to be a professional illustrator in the future, but be sure not every company will hire just for your style because it\'s actually too common.

It\'s good to have your own way of drawing but you must learn something else.
That\'s the better advice I could give you.

For example, take a piece of paper and try to mix some different paper color with paint, marker, perhaps even modeling clay to create something more living.
You have a potential IMO because you can express something with drawing.
Try something more agressive, right now you\'re like britney spears in music: it\'s funny, enjoyable to listen, but there is no risk taken, you don\'t go far enough.

Well if I make a post that long, that\'s because I think you can do better ;)

wow, much response
 some kind words amongst it and some rather harsh ones as well, i\'m not sure if I deserve them all, both the good and the bad.

Aye my style isnt as Dark and oogy boogy boogy as the game may need, and yeah I do cartooning (which more than a person or two has told me during the course of my life isnt \"real\" art and never will be to anyone that matters...    ever).

to anyone that thinks my designs are unoriginal, [expletive deleted] yourself untill your [expletive deleted] turns yellow, and have a nice day :)

in case anyones curious I can paint I just dont bloody like it, I ;ve had a bastard of a day I\'m far too tired and as its plain to see I\'m feeling just plain crabby, snarky nasty and grumpy, and I\'ve been called unoriginal, and had my one artistic outlet compared to Britney [lots and lots of expletives deleted] Spears,

ach...

grumpy rantings...

and franky I dont even think Talad ever took the time to look at any of my works before letting me try out for WTB status

Djaggernaut :
I do  apreciate your words, and I do want to contribute to PS even if my designs are about as wanted as a leper at an orgy, hell I\'m getting a copy of the new 3D studio. so even if my designs dont get me even noticed at least the fact that I will be able to model for the next thingie will

ahhI wrote too much.. I\'m goiing to sleep

Gods of spelling, I stand AGAINST YOU!

I didnt know you could be so cool Kintall! I see there is a Hulk in you as well...
*Tybalt rips his t-shirt appart waiting to transform...but nothing happens

I cant understand why you would want to change your style really. I like the pics you do now and its not like you cant do any progress using this style ;)
anyway...do what you want :)
goodnight!

your art is better than mine, you are good.
Just try not to stick ur noze up to the sky and close
your eyes and ears to any critisism.  I think you\'ve been
getting too much positive feedback to expect some bad response now.. You get angry :)
You are still very much developing your style, your hand at drawing/coloring. keep up good work

Damn, you\'re using lot of familiar or special (I don\'t know) english or american words ! It was hard to understand to be honest.

Now I totally agree with Sashok, you\'re used to too much positive comment to listen to criticism.
You should try to post your pic on the sijun forums for example to see what the comments are.

It\'s important, perhaps even essential to not be arrogant about your work. You can and you must be proud of every new step you reach but don\'t think you do something that original!
To be honest, it reminds me a lot Saint Seya.

If you don\'t want to listen to advice and try to open your mind you will not progress.
Stay on earth, it\'s not art, it\'s illustration (is that an english word?). Of course we could debate about what is art or not.
Try to watch some work of contemporary artist for example.

And please don\'t take everything I said for an agression. It\'s cool to have advice. I don\'t say I\'m a great graphist, but I have tons of experience, I\'m working in videogames industry. Don\'t you think it\'s interesting to be able to share experience?
That is probably one of the best thing in PS team. So if you want to join the team, you must first be able to communicate.

Damn I\'m still writing a lot!

Nobody is asking you to quit your current style, animeish, because you are great at that. They are just saying you could expand on your artistic skills and try out a new style. Doesn\'t mean abandon your anime, just see what you can do in a different style. Whats wrong with being great at everything?  ;)

Dues to the current topic of the thread i make  a little suggestion , i am reading a bunch of comics strips those days , perhaps  you  could try to make a black and white one , with perhaps only the very first picture in color ( for the title ) , or only when special stuff happen , and showing it in like 4 successive replies , in order we dont have the complete story too quick, and you have some time to write it.

Also , about  your PS tasks perhaps you could beg one to talad if he didn t gave one to you recently, or try to do texturing if you worked on UI stuff , or the reverse, also the PS site could use some fresh up, i am 00% skilled at doing nice looking stuff, i only do fonctional stuff, perhaps we could do something for it if talad is okey ( better you do texture stuff if you can, this would speed CB release in fact ).
I did finaly found a work :))

Aye, I usualy take criticism better I\'m just crabby ATM, I was more so last night.

and I\'m not shirty [note spelling] at anyone its just I get defensive when I\'m shirty [note spelling] and I hate Britney [unless you got a good working knowledge of animal husbandry you wont understant these expletives anyway.. deleted] spears

and I\'m well aware of the need for growth, but I dont feel I wish to do it in a classical painting  direction, when I did my fine arts degree (that means I\'m an adept painter sculptor and photographer) all the people there who painted as their chosen feild were the biggest bunch of \"sexual self gratifiers\", and I just didnt enjoy it..    

and if talad wants me he can bloody well email me, and this time if he dont say even please or thankyou I\'l tell him to go stand on his head in a pigpen, he may be the leader of this project but it wouldnt kill him to be polite. his english may be \"unique\" but hell the first thing I learnt in japanese class was \"Arigato gozaimasu\"

I\'l stilll do stuff here when I can. in recent news it looks like I may be able to get a stable paying job as the art department for the university magazine,,  its a start

and once I\'m a 3d dooer I\'l be all moddeling ee

and just so were clear I\'m not shrty [note spellling] with anyone anyone,  I was just ranting off some steam

best to all of ya :)

Gods of spelling, I stand AGAINST YOU!
