Adventure Game Design Ada's House

I got the designs set up for Ada's home in that game I'm working on

Ada starts the Game in her room and finds that he options to leave the room are pretty slim thanks to one of her Billiard bombs clogging the staircase. After she escapes the only way she can get back into her room is through that ceiling. Even later in the game, the Billiard Bomb will fall through stairs leading to a new location.


The pawn shop seems like an obvious place to buy items. Collin's computer would be a good place to get access a walkthrough for the game, but Collin is not about to just let you walk into his room to mess with his stuff.

The Comic is taking a lot longer to draw

This is what my framing process has sort of Become. Keep in mind, I don't study drawing or talk to many people about it too often, So I'll probably say a few things that sound really stupid or obvious.


In the past I would try to do the posture line or the chest before the shoulders. I'm surprised I didn't realize my problem was I was working from the inside out, when I can get better control of my shape working from the outside in.
One thing drawing Magic 8 ball girl all the time has taught me (this is a frame for Quat' not ada, BTW) is what my prefered arm length is in proportion to the body. My rule has become to keep the Elbow at the same distance as the 8 ball vest (or the persons chest.) The rest of the arm keeps it size from that for me.


After that Comes writing, setting, inking, and coloring, then framing and posting.

The first 3 steps usually take the longest. Just because I can never get enough room for everything.

One last note. I'm going to a bad place when I die for drawing something like this.

Lit Trailer. Do want!

Oh, this game can't come soon enough. I made a desktop image for it:



Similarly related, I managed to find a new copy of Sigma Star Saga, including the box and instructions.
It's a good thing my work on that Flash cartoon halted, because it looks like I made a few errors on Reckers Krill armor.

Had to post this one


God I'm so glad they didn't go for that ending. It would have messed me up so bad as a kid. (Like that cartoon about the guy trapped in the egg being crushed by a bigger guy in an even larger egg.)

Comic's upgrade

Every Few months, it seems I get a little less pleased with the Quality of Magic 8 Ball girl. Overall it ends up being a good thing. What else is going to motivate me to draw better.

However, a the recent spike in quality has been a bit of a doozy. After drawing all the animated Cells for the Magic 8 Ball Girl game and the Sigma Star Saga cartoon, I now can't even draw Magic 8 Ball Girl without using framing:



I had been able to get by with only visualizing the frames for a good while, but that is no longer enough. The drawings are getting much better, true. But it's also taking me forever to do so, and It's a little discouraging.

Zelda Song

Not sure what I'm going to do with this one, but:

It was 1998, my skirt was short my hat was long
Caught somewhere between the now and then
There were 7 Sages and time travelin' through the ages
It was Wintertime I spent with the Big N
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh

Slashing Bongo Bongo
Smoking King Dodongo
Plus the simple tricks like webs and fish and crates
We didn't have game F-A-Qs
But if I ever had to choose
I'd rather solve those puzzles with my mates

[Chorus:]
And we were finding different hearts
We were sequence breaking parts
Making up some crazy shit for the Scarecrow's song
Trapping Fairies in a bottle, playing strait 'till tomorrow
Singing Sweet home Ocarina all winter long
Singing Sweet home Ocarina all winter long

Forgot to change the last 2 lines

Phantom Legs

I haven't done a big animated project since BBB2, I hadn't realized how drastically my style has changed since then. I hope I get this project finished soon so I can really see differences.
