No, I didn't, for all the love in the world read it. I said they were mainstream, and sold out. I did not say they sucked. You're drawing conclusions where there are none.

Well gee, you certainly implied it, and said lots of synonyms.

Hah. No. The only thing that saying something is mainstream implies is that they're mainstream. n = n. It doesn't even imply that they're making fatloads of cash, though they are in this case.

Just because you think that something that is mainstream is automatically completely unlikable, doesn't mean anyone else does. Get your head out of your arse, I like Nintendo.

Oh look, an internet tough guy. Was this really necessary?

You know what you do when you assume something? You make an ass of u and me. Love that saying. You're doing it. Stop.

My gaming ocmputer crashed and burned, so I can't access that or my actual drawings at the moment. Sadness get.

Anyway, managed to track down a couple of tuts. I'd say that the main issue for you would be both the legs (your character's legs always seem to be overtly rigid) and the simple perspective, but here's a few other things and stuff.

This one is actually for Poser, but thought it relevant. Just ignore the more technical side of it.
Figure drawing in 3D. Standard fair.
Gestural Drawing. The like, lots of scribbles.

That's it, for now. Honestly, I'd say the best exercise would be the 30-second challenge on Posemaniacs, to really get a feel for poses.

I'd say to concentrate on a few more details for your cartoony pics, and to concentrate on adding a modicum of realism and proportions to your more human-based pics - sure, the style is all well and good, but without proper proportions/perspective they do looks a bit cheap.

The main thing you really want to work on are your perspective and posing - you've got your concepts more or less downpat, but the way that they're standing is really, really awkward and loose. Try looking at poses, finding a feel for how they hang on solid ground, and go from there.

Otherwise, when colouring something, be extremely careful with which filters you do and don't apply - short term gain, long term regret and crying yourself to sleep at night. Best of luck.

Man, this site is huge. I've seen bigger, much worse adds on other free sites that use up a whole less bandwidth, so I think that Tom is pretty good. And all things considered, what would you prefer Tom to do to raise lah money?

Hey, Smeagol's mother, have a great and fulfilling birthday, and remember that everyone at Newgrounds will always appreciate your presence!

H. birthdai to you too, Chairman

I'd would like a sloppy blowjob, if that's not too much trouble. He seems to be really good at it. Alternatively, he could gift me with a tame dolphin with which to sail the seas.

Blowjob would be quicker, though

I once came across a little saying about who uses what browsers. It was pretty funny - saying that IE was used by your parents, Firefox by nerds, the like.

Well, I use Firefox out of force of habit. I know all of its little shortcut thingys, and its been with me forever.

Congratulations! You've replicated the look of a bored 5th grader stuck in a dark room with a bunch of pencils perfectly. Even the humour is in character!

On a serious note, you might want to just keep drawing it out, trying to improve, that sort of thing. It really does look all kinds of rushed, and that's never a good look. Whenever you do a piece, keep in the back of your mind that you're trying to improve whilst doing it.

The concept isn't actually that bad, though. About the right amount of creativity for a single-panel piece, so just keep it at that steady rate.

You know what? I don't know. It was sort of an accident with the shading. Although spiking is not out of the question.

Teeth were yellow to begin with, too.

Oh hell yeah! I should totally do some of these, quickies, the like.

Here's a pic of me for now. Do your worst.

What started as a cartoony representation of me in my underwear, to blow off steam, sort of evolved into this.

I regret nothing!

lolersauce, finally submitted something to the portal for the first time in ages...
As much as out out inactivity as a simple negative reaction to submitting pictures that were anything less than completely finished.

I think I'm over that phase. Good riddance. I seriously thought I was never going to get over that.

Never nice to hear about shit like this. I'm really unsure as to what the injunction is about to begin with, but chances are it'll be so petty that one will have to agree that the main victims will really just be anyone who plays a ps3.

Heard about it from Destructoid, a while ago. What could warrant such a loss in sales?

Keep your cool and learn to throw a punch (block too, if you can manage it). That's never failed me yet - and remember, angry people are both ridiculous and very, very easy to mislead.

The Lint is fine with always being the Lint.

Yeah, I pretty much get called that anyway.

It's useful, even on the bbs where we have this nifty quoting system - if you're replying to another person's post, then it makes sense to simply state their name and not have to go through and quote specific parts of it. Especially in your "conversation" type replies where peeps are just talking to each other through the topic.

So don't get your panties in such a twist. It's just a nifty way of addressing someone.

What's that, Lassie? The OP is a faggot?

Listen, kid, of the millions of people who live in poverty around the world, how many of them do you think even know how to earn enough money to feed themselves and their families? How many do you think are even able to learn about it in the first place?

You, my dear little dipstick, are a textbook example of a capitalist. If you're rich, fuck everyone else because they honestly can't be arsed to be as rich as you. Classic, self-centric capitalist idiom. The worse part is that I'm fairly sure that you mean what you say, because I've heard it many times before.

I mean, seriously? Telling people to abandon their families in order to earn more cash? Has it ever occurred to you that some people might value their loved ones over simply being rich, and that abandoning their families would actually pretty much achieve nothing to the masses of uneducated, ignorant 3rd-class citizens that exist?

I doubt that you've ever been poor. I could say for certain that you've never slept on the streets, had to eat of the the garbage, and been looked down and constantly pushed down back into poverty by those both higher-up and your own kinsmen. You're as ignorant as they are, and your opinions are worse in that you assume that it's so fucking easy for a person to simply burn their bridges, cut their ties, forget about everyone who depends on them, leave them to day, and jaunt off merrily into the fucking sunset.

You've never done that. You've never had to face the screaming faces of those who will never forgive you for leaving them, tears running and faces fuming.

Enjoy your privileges, you pompous little faggot, enjoy the fact that you've been born into a class with opportunities rolling in, that you've never really had to work to survive, only to gain more and more. Enjoy your comfort-ridden life with your shallow problems, but for love of god do not form opinions on people in places that you've never been.

I hand out generosity with the same carelessness that I rake it in, so my thanks are usually along the lines of "thanks, man" or "tah". As for please, never really bothered with it.

So long as you're polite and grateful in your own way, then formalities don't really matter.

I do one of two things:

whun. Meditate, clear my thoughts and trouble shoot the cause as to why I'm feeling so bad. Then I swiftly take care of that cause, and continue my life, feeling better for having achieved something.
too (and much, much more often). Get shitfaced, pass out then wake up regretting that I was ever, ever alive.

I'm a lover, not a fighter.

This, I thought was priceless.

Here's a few more to waste your time. I mean, c'mon, it's not like time is used for anything else productive-related?

I love these threads

Can I perhaps opt for not dieing?

If not, I'd prefer some sort of over-glorified last stand, or failing that, massive orgy. 'Nuff said.

lolno. Try reading. I said they were copiously mainstream and casual, and therefore appeal to casual gamers. Actually, I don't remember saying anything about them sucking, fuckwad.

Hardcore, or at least non-casual, gamers have a history of hating on casual gamers. Probably because they're sick of seeing shovelware, but to be honest that's what sells on the Wii, so it makes sense to keep with it. I'm as sick of Party Games as the next guy, but I still remember that little thing of Extraction not even selling 10, 000 copies within the first week.

Nintendo is a line of money-printers, in my opinion, and frankly, anything that bloody mainstream, that sold out, isn't going to really appeal to anyone outside of the casual gaming crew.

However, there are good games on the Wii. Extraction, Madworld, the dev crews shouldn't really suffer for their chosen console's sold-outness. Nintendo may not make games that blow a person's mind anymore, but I still liked them.

Bah, to each his own. I don't really care what shit a company pumps out anymore, I'm happy to sort through it and really, what they decide is best for the company is up to them.

I'd love a flamethrower which fucking scorches the scenery and opponents alike, and set the world on fire. I'd love to carry one into multiplayer and watch teammates and enemies burn alike.

That's all I'd ask for. The one in Black Ops wasn't exactly mind-blowing.

I've found that it doesn't so much depend on their looks as situation, relation in purdiness and the confidence with which you pull of the compliment.

For the example, depending on the situation, it would be less creepy to a girl to yell in her face "YOU HAVE THE TITS OF GODS" compared to quietly whispering "Hey, your hair looks nice".

Prap. I'll go with this. This is about the best background music I could possibly hope for.

Cool story bro.

But yeah, man, I'm sure that a lot of peeps wouldn't mind being shunted off the site in order to see some fancy new colours. Not sure that the colours would be fancy enough to really compensate for being so close to levelling, but that's just me.

You see this? Go there. It's definitely what you need.

I can see that you're going for human anatomy, but I can also see that you don't actually know much about human proportions. A good rule of thumb is to know the rules before you start bending them - you'll find that, with enough practices with and without references, you'll have most everything all fine and dandy.

So use references to begin with, improve your peoples, then go onto perspective and backgrounds from there. One step at a time though, and hey, welcome to Newgrounds.
