Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Ah yes, excuse me! I've seemed to have forgotten the most important information of them all! Before I fix it, it's Java Script/C++ that we search for!

Birmwood is a fictional valley set in a dark fantasy setting, where chaos and sorrow prevails upon the hearts of men. With a lot of political schemes and intrigues, racial decisions and battles, Birmwood is a valley besieged by all sides in an never ending conflict.

Birmwood shares its plot in a series of short stories that usually talk about the young man, Finn Wellheart and his life in the valley. Upon that, Birmwood is featured even in an interactive book and several others literature to date, yet with progression comes will. And the small Birmwood team wishes to extend its slowly growing fiction to a game. To stay close to the books, the game we focus upon is a browser open and friendly txt role-playing game, in which the reader or the player, will be able to progress through the plot using many of the richly designed options. Behind each option lie about hundred consequences which are all tied together to create a flowing and never ending fun experience. Whether your main hero will progress through the scene with brute and sheer strength, or be diplomatic, one is certain. The childish "Black" and "White", Good and Evil, is excluded from Birmwood, for we focus on the "Shades of Gray" and stick with the slogan "All our choices are of a lesser evil."

What do we hope to do...

We hope to create a fun and thrilling experience that will bring a book, closer to a game. So that young and old may enjoy in it and re-play or re-read it. With hundreds of choices and endings, we put a great burdon upon us, but as was many times proven, a strong will and mind will lead us through these dark days.

What do we need...

If you wish to join us as a scripter, you need to have at least 3 of the following 4 categories and have a valid proof to stand up to your claims.

1. You must have to be able to spend a lot of time.
2. You have credits to show that you are reliable.
3. You demonstrate a clear ability to pick up a pattern from observation.
4. You can work independently while sticking to a team objective.

If you miss on one of them, there's no pitty, you can still make it up with the other three, if of course the proof you've given us is valid enough. If you have something else to boost about, don't be affraid to share it, in fact, it would be advised to drop out of the curve and be something special.

How to do it...

To contact us, please refer to my email: amadeusbirca@gmail.com

I wish all of you willing to assist us good luck in being accepted. A small project it may be, but out of small grows big. No?

Well. A small sketch for the comic I'm drawng. If you wonder why it's soo dark? Scanner died, had to do it the old fashioned way. *Points at camera/

And here comes more. After a long pause, I'll keep my topic alive. With MORE gooides.. hopefuly.

Ok, I'll try to make some shadows on him in the future, thanks for the advice and the comment ;D

Well, I used to draw them with a pencil and them simply going on the lines with a 0.5 Pen. I used digital only for the coloring, but found out that Aquarell fits a LOT better.

Here are some more of them, I will send even the new random people that will appear around.

Pfffff

Gotta type something...

More...

Here comes more stuff ;D

Thanks, and yes, I got a story allready...

Evryone has his style... some draw very detailed, and some draw like little children in kindergarden... evry one has his OWN style.

Well, for a comic, It's better that the characters are simple... as toons should be simple...

Here comes my product... Sir Gookles with his Squire "Stinky" and his Magic Singing Sword.

Some lil' sketches, I'll try to rotate him, and will show the colored one in a week...

WHAT!! My characters don't look like dicks!
If you think so, then the Worms must be dicks as well by your opinion... you sure must be an pervert one by thinking so >=/

Thanks mate, I got a bit better ones now, I just have to draw 2 more positions and I'll post ;D

Oh well, sorry, I thought about the last two pictures... yes, it took me 6 hours as I tried a bit at Adobe Illustrator... a vector picture.

Six hours?!!

Here you can see the character I am going to stick with, and the colored one, are the half a year old ones, I've "pimped" them since that, not much but looks better to me. Then I got a few sketches of them in action...

Back I am, wasn't posting for long... had a few problems with the connection.
This time, I got two old pics, one from 1 years ago, and the other is from half a year. I've been working on the characters for a while now, and before I post the finished product, I'll post some sketches, I know, they got a few problems, but I fixed some of them.

The first picture is the 1 years old one, back then my characters looked realy handicaped :S But with the help of my art teacher, must say "Thanks!" I've build them quite good :3

Alright, I'll get right tomorrow on it to work, thanks for the tips.

Good to hear you like it ^^

I will make one with a bit more of them on one picture... maybe even give each one an different emotion.

Heres one of it again, this time used more time, around 6 hours... gave some shades too, and reflect, with some more detailes on the head and the body.

Hmm, yeh I'll try shading a bit, give him maybe some more clothes and fix his head, thanks for the tips.

Here's an better version of him, this time in Black %u02DBWhite ;D

I'll post once I got a better one.

Edit: Forgot "can't" =/

Greetings people of Newgrounds!

I am new to the forum, and oh well, been an fan of comics for as long as I can remember. A few years ago I created my characters, called Gookles, and by year to year updated them.

I want to make a nice comic, yet I want you people to give me some feedbacks on my character.
