Make her a member of the midnight crew

Thanks to certain people I've been hooked on MS Paint Adventures. Daily updates, epic story, hilarious characters and writing? I'm totally addicted.

Listening to the soundtracks for the webcomic has actually helped me get some things done for Forest of Noir though. As indicated by the CG-in-progress above, there's going to be a fair share of action within this short story.

I would like to take this time and say that Forest of Noir is NOT A GXB GAME. Yes, the main character is a girl and the rest are guys. The premise and focus is NOT romance. I mean c'mon, look at that CG preview. I don't think bearing your shadowy wolf-arms against a lady is gonna get you a date dude. Especially if I'm listening to this track while working on the lineart (it's from Homestuck of course all of their albums sold here).



Speaking of music, I was able to collect all the needed pieces needed for this game. Also, Camille's sprite has also been completed. Huzzah for progress. Man with all this progress, I'll just put down a lint.

Statistics:

The game contains 24 screens of dialogue.
These screens contain a total of 409 words,
for an average of 17.0 words per screen.
The game contains 1 menus.

... Could be worse ;A;

Black and White

Forest of Noir is a project that is going to help me practice my art and programming Ren'Py. It will be short. I will be working on this and juggling college at the same time. You won't see me putting up much progress posts until I do an obligatory once or twice a month post.

I will stop blathering and get some dinner and prepare my essay and then rest.

ART SPAM DUMP 2

I like putting pictures in my blog, so I'll put up pictures that I've been able to work on. My CGing has gotten WAY better.



Old character of mine that I wanted to doodle. She has a twin...



Who I frankly did not give any justice to. ;;



Quickly colored in this lineart I had months ago.



Gift for a friend.



An updated version of this picture. My first attempt at using a tablet. It hasn't even been a year since I've gotten my first tablet and I was able to improve leaps and bounds from that point.

I'll have another spam dumping tomorrow.

Jogging towards the finish line...

I'M ALIVE. And still writing and progress is being made for Crimson Midnight. Each day I am writing parts of the story so Chrono and Deji can look it over, give their inputs and then Chrono can convert the script for Ren Py'. Busy, busy, busy and I have finals this week not fun. *___*

But even with the worst obstacles, one must go on! Therefore, have a moe Robin in cute clothing stare at you while this blog begins to yellow with age after my sporadic VN progress report.

Run, run, run

Because I've been working on Crimson Midnight with Deji and Chrono, I have had absolutely no time to post in my blog!

/end lie.

No, I've had time, but I didn't have anything of real interest to put up and therefore I made this sketch just to make my blog look interesting. :B I'm about halfway done with the prologue for Crimson Midnight and planning to write half of one characters route next week or maybe the whole thing so I can work on the last route the following week and that's when I can make major revisions. I feel so blessed to be working with Deji who also gives me good tips on writing. It just reminds me how much I need to improve if I want to even get going with Stained One on my own.

I feel it's a good thing I'm working on Crimson Midnight as the writer. I have other people on the team depending on me. If I let them down, I'm letting myself down.

Anyways, enough rambling, I am finishing this.

ART SPAM DUMP

Wow, 18 days since I've last updated. Such a lonely, lonely blog. Well, since last month, I was busy getting college applications in which was a nightmare in itself and now it's December! I just have to worry about keeping up with schoolwork and grades so I will for sure have more time to work on Stained One. No work was done last month besides development sketches AND some extra help on sprucing up the character sprites... ;) So I will just humor myself by putting up doodles I've been able to bust out.



A doodle of a possible otome game heroine for a future game I've thought of. I've been reading about a lot of otome games and I've noticed that in most of them, you can see the girl's face in contrast with typical eroges with a male as a main charcter. (Although I've been reading Accany's blog and noticed that the faceless protagonist trend has considerably faded with recent VNs or it could be just me.) But yeah, I like this design for the main girl. I'm not quite sure what her story will be about yet even though I rambled to my friends about what it might be. :3



Drawing this and looking at the art for my kinetic novel [Phase Shift] makes me really, really, really, really, REALLY want to redo the art and make CG events for it, but TAT I can't wait to make a sequel for Ai Thao, she's one of my favorite OCs.





OCs that belong to me and my friend. Just wanted to play around with SD expressions :B



And finally, ANOTHER OC of mine. She's supposed to be a tomboy, but lately, she's been dressing in a more feminine manner. I really like how the braids turned out as well as that top. I'd so wear it.

That's the end for this dump! Next time, I will definitely update with progress on Stained One.

In a rut

Not much to update storywise, but I've been redesigning Bianca's outfit so I can figure out how to fix my event CGs that involve her in them. Doodling in SAI is fun, adjusting the stabilizer and turning on pen pressure gives nice sketchiness :)

I'm making doodles and sketches of Bianca mostly to develop her character even though I'm still stuck on chapter one with her. She's supposed to have a complex perspective on life as a result of her childhood. She's not particularly depressing when she starts out, but she's not a very happy person either. She worries about clothes and boys like almost any other girl, but only to a point where it seems like she just does so out of obligation.

I should draw Zac and Aiden more.

School starts soon...

And I still have homework to finish. Thankfully, it's not impossible. However, I'm going to limit myself working on Stained One for the weekends. If this was an actual serious project, I'd spend more time, but seeing as how I'm going to be a senior this year, I probably can't afford it. I have an SAT test in October, applications to fill... Sigh. As for progress on Stained One, just waiting for my editor to pop up so they can edit the 95% I've written for chapter one. In the meantime, proof I've been reading the pet project on LSF too much.



Looks a bit like Taokaka from BlazBlu, but lamer :B
