I was finally able to do Jonas' pose the way it was meant to. I've started redoing some of the pics trying to add a bit more life to them. Some other pictures are one off. I won't be able to redo them. They'll just have work.
This is a gorgeous and delightful image. With regard to more life, I don't think you're aware of how expressive your art has always been. I'm kind of reminded of ballet and modern dance where so much is expressed with movement and body language. Your art has always had that.
Thanks a lot Karna, for such a fine compliment I'm looking at other peoples work and thinking "why didn't I think of THAT!!" I never bothered about learning how to CREATE poses etc myself. I always rely on other people's hard work, trying my best to use it as it was meant to. But i guess we're all our own worst critics
We're all perfectionists here it seems, always looking to improve and redo. I like this style of image, you pulled it off nicely. Makes me sleepy just looking at it.
It's funny, talking about redoing... I've been pondering if I should start writing again and, if I did, how to pick up where I'd left off. So much time has passed and at least a few of the mods I've used in the past can't be found anymore. I might just take a page from Jumpman and start again from the beginning, but I don't think it would have the same impact with folks knowing most of the punch lines already. I need to think on it some more.
Thank you Brigand Or you could do like I've done - more or less out of necessity (and a tad laziness)- and throw continuity to the dogs. Garrett's diary is by now some 12 years in the making. I have no idea how many reinstalls in that time. But now I am playing TTW which is something different - again. Add to that that sometimes several months - even years- will pass between getting bitten by the bug again. I try to read up on past chapters. But all of a sudden I realize that I've forgotten about this character/that location etc etc etc.......... The last time I started writing I was sure that it would be a matter of some 5 chapters in order to wrap it up for good - and in in a logical way. I still know where I am going. But it seems the road keeps getting longer and longer And the most wonderful thing is that those keeping up with the diary are extremely forgiving. For which I am grateful Oops - sorry for rambling. This was only meant to be a short answer to a kind comment.
Not rambly at all, I kinda needed to hear the thought process. I'll definitely have to create something, still not sure what, but sure that it needs to happen.
