Here is my Chibi Reco art. She went to the southern islands to get a tan after the release of Futari.

After playing guitar for about a year and a half I started a band: ANCIENT WARLOCKS

I am enjoying the hell out of the whole thing. The music is mine and whenever you hear one lone guitar, that's me. I come up with song concepts and titles but since I don't do the singing (Aaron the bass player does) I don't write a whole lot of the lyrics. We have four more songs in the works right now and should have a 7" out some time this year. We're expecting to start playing shows within a couple months.

So I have this set of animal things that are named for emotions and/or mental states, like Ecstasy and Depression and Amnesia and so on. They're so named because what they touch then gains that emotion/whatever--someone touched by Ecstasy would feel happy beyond compare, someone touched by Depression would feel miserable beyond compare, someone touched by Amnesia would lose memories, etc.

This is important to the following, which I otherwise wouldn't bother sharing except that I find it a challenge on occasion to make Engrish *grammatically correct*...

:lol:


Edit so I don't just bump the thread: Okay one more, a little bit better--

I do album reviews on my blog every so often.
I have a little solo ambient/drone project I've neglected to update.
I just recorded a silly record with a silly band for RPM 2010.

I like the RPM one pretty good. I don't do the ambient/noise stuff. No beat = No interest for me. I hope that doesn't sound douchey, it just ain't my bag.

I definitely know where you're coming from -- that's not douchey at all. I put that stuff up as a recording experiment and during the end of a huge Oren Ambarchi phase. About 97% of his stuff is beatless, haha. But I'm working on another project with a mix of IDM, ambient/soundscape and heavy rock stuff.

The RPM thing is pure hilarity. You haven't lived until you've seen a 40-year-old guy singing in a pseudo falsetto about bears and Michael McDonald. Not sure if RPM will host the rest of the album...

I'm pretty sure I could live without hearing that. In fact, I think I'd like to avoid it. :p

To be honest I didn't really do much in terms of actually creating this one (that would be mostly the devs and artists doing that stuff, I was responsible for all the QA testing) but I was part of a team of eight people who put together an official Beavis and Butt-Head iPhone/iPad app for MTV (approved by Mike Judge himself,) which is now available (in iPad form at least, the iPhone version is still waiting for Apple's approval) in the App Store:

I've been working on designing a set of illustrated poker cards. It's still in the early stages, but it couldn't hurt to show off what I have so far.

Just finished this and figured I'd post it. It was done in pen and ink with water color and some color pencil on water color board. It's 27"/18" and took approximately sixty hours to complete. Please note that this is a reproduction of an existing piece that was done in cg.

Detail of some of the line work.

Image
Roughly poster size I guess.

Another detail. I made a stencil to do the dots.

Anyway I'm considering making this a triptych with Crueltear and Faintear to follow. I might also do some Death Smiles art so I'll keep this thread posted with any other shmup related art I do :D

Engineer, I really like your illustration man, shows tremendous technique and patience. I look forward to some Deathsmiles character art, don't rush though ;)

Thank you! It strikes me that there's just not a whole lot of Death Smiles art out there but I'll fix that :wink: Good luck with that photo contest. I'd say you have a real good chance as those photos you took are definitely cool!

Glad you like it. It's just a 3d particle effect with a different 3d-to-2d transformation than usual (it rotates the x,y value around the z value)

There's more here, under Liquidjava : http://rydia.net/udder/art.html

Skykid's DA gallery is NSFW.

So, your work from the game company are those b&w comics?
Sorry Zebra, I'm extremely bad at replying to some of these threads.

The work I did for Gameboy company isn't on the Deviantart page no, the B&W comic is something I did in my spare time - if I'm not doing something creative I tend to feel like I'm wasting life, so I'm always on some project or another.
My biggest problem is finishing what I start before becoming distracted with something else.

All that's left of the Gameboy stuff is some early code in which you can walk around an RPG town with a little animation and some lovely graphics work from yours truly! It'll work on an emu I suppose but I don't have the raw code anymore, a mate has it and he stole it from the company before we left. I'm not even sure if it's legal to distribute in this thread because the IP is probably still owned by the company, even though they did FA with it.

I make a lot of music [ranging from horribly noisy to soothing and calm], some of it posted here: http://trebledeathsystem.com/user/61/tracks

Some select tracks:
http://trebledeathsystem.com/tracks/310
http://trebledeathsystem.com/tracks/258 [warning, slightly heavy]
http://trebledeathsystem.com/tracks/350
http://trebledeathsystem.com/tracks/359
http://trebledeathsystem.com/tracks/370
http://trebledeathsystem.com/tracks/406
http://trebledeathsystem.com/tracks/283 [warning, very heavy]

I do a bit of things in Photoshop and Flash, but none of them are online. Oh, and I draw [but I don't have anything scanned in on this machine].

Woaaah. Nice. Reminds me of some demo effects.

Just finished listening to a bunch of it, it seems like you really need to spend more time on each track rather than make a zillion of them and kick them out the door.

Yes, they are very inspired by oldschool demoscene effects done with software rendering (as opposed to hardware, which everyone and their mom does these days).

Ahh, yes. Most of them are done for OHCs though [and one hour isn't much time at all ;_;].
But I'm trying to actually sit down and work on a song for an extended period of time... but OHCs keep popping up :P

You should label the OHC ones as such. Would definitely help.

Anyway, here's some random music I did recently
