color wise? or shadow placement wise?
I just try to follow the same standard unless something special is happening. If I know for a fact that a light source is present in the scene, then I'll draw the shading to match. If pico's head is hanging over his body, then there will probably be extra shadow on his chest.

meh.

The most important thing about shading is the lightsource. The colors are pretty easy, there is a tut about shading on the portal that I suggest you to take a look at.

My flash is already 1:15 seconds, and I'm aiming towards... 10-15 minutes.

Looks good, but I don't know if its just the quality or not but the color on the shirt is too bland and plain, use the actual Pico color of the shirt, the lighter green and I think it would look a lot better. Otherwise the head and everything else look great, very stylish.

When will people learn to quit fucking with pico?

My animation is currently close to the three minute mark, and I expect it to be 4-5 when done.

Afro, it seems you've been posting the most screenshots out of anyone here, and may I say that all of them look great. Can't wait to see all 4-5 minutes of it, hope you can finish it in time.

thanks.. but like I said, pretty much everything so far has been back story/ into stuff. Now is when the action picks up =)

(which is gonna slow me down majorly)

The crap quality shot the color down heavily, the BG was supposed to be the color of NG, but as you can tell, the color got alot worse, it also knocked out the shding on the hair and the shirt.

Someone should start a pico collab.

Response to Official Pico Day :: april 30 2006-02-25 18:45:01


Lol, isn't the whole point of April 30 to make seperate movies and games? It would get confusing if 10 people decided to enter all together into the Pico contest...

No one would want to do that cause that involves splitting a potential prize several ways. Besides, the whole day is kind of a pico collab

Hey Afro_Ninja:
Who's Pico do you think would be victorious in an all out battle?
Your Automatic rifle Pico or my nunchuck Pico?

Just for scenery purposes.. does Pico live in the city or the suburbs?

Wherever your heart desires.

City it is. :p

Response to Official Pico Day :: april 30 2006-02-25 22:17:53


Why does nobody consider rural areas like farms?

Anyways i might join this if i can convieve a good idea. I'm thinking maybe Pico as james bond, all-out cliche.

I really, really hate what you did to the Pre-Loader Luis made, it looks way too jumbled and confusing now. But otherwise your ideas and alpha look pretty good, hope you guys can finish all 15 minutes.
