Character Design - Bunny Character

During this Hiatus I have come up with a bunny character! I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with it but at least I have it for maybe a new game, or a story...not sure. These images were taken with a cellphone camera so they're gonna be kinda LQ.

So I haven't named her yet, I don't know what to name her to be honest...it might come eventually.

This is the first drawing, it's ink and watercolor along with some soft pastels.
I like this style personally.

These 2 drawings(on one page) are drawn with Prismacolor pens, then base-colored with Sharpies and Bic Markers (which are alcohol based) and shaded with colored pencils blended with a colorless blender pencil.

I hope you enjoy her!

Why am I away?

Hi! It's been a while. I know I was on a constant roll and suddenly stopped. Well I have my reasons, I'd say more but for now I want it to remain personal.What I can say is that I've been having to relocate and that gives me less access to a computer than I used to have, and I prefer a steady work flow so I just stop on projects when I go through dry spells. I also start a job in a few days so I'm going to be more busy than normal. I'm not gone, just not as active. I will be back soon with more ideas, more games, and more fun for everyone! I hope anyone who actually follows my games at all can have the patience to wait a bit, I'll soon have a place to steadily work, and even with the job I'll have the time to work on games as well. I'm looking at this as finally the pieces will come in to place.

To compensate for my inactivity here, I have been doing artwork that doesn't require a computer. I'll post those on my main blog feel free to check those out as well!


Oh, and also, I might make some wallpapers and/or coloring pages based off of my games so people can have something to work with. That'll be more likely to happen in the near future than actual game updates.


Blessings to all and I hope your lives are going well if not I pray God helps any and all of you.

God bless!

Some Tilly's Rose Garden "Concept Art"

Hi! - Right now I can't really work as much on anything as I could before. I have limited time to be able to use the computer and internet so you'll be a little delayed. I'm not sure for how long though, so this might be brief. To hold you off though, I have some Tilly's Rose Garden concept arts. I hope you enjoy them!

I drew them all on sketch paper, and colored with Crayola kids markers. I inked with random pens.

   I will still work on my games and stuff it'll just be at a slower pace and probably some cramming when I have the time to work. So...Yep!


Enjoy!

Video Update of Tilly's Rose Garden - Spring!

Yes, I finally have a video to show for the walls of text I have written over the past month or so.
But before that let me talk a little bit more about some updates!

1. Game Tiles:

Tiles in GameMaker 8.1

For those who don't know, tiles in game maker are like little beautifying objects you put in backgrounds, they don't bog the game down as much and make it look nice. So far I've made thirty 16x16 tiles for paths and stuff, I might make more, might not. This is more of a beautifying move than a needed move, but I might put them to some relevant use as well. I've also made a few tiles for the pond to have a tile background, as well as a shadow.

In the game, you might see some "Easter-Eggs" in a few of the tiles.

Here's and example of me using the tiles together:

Making tiles was a pain too, I made in one file in GIMP and transferred to a larger canvas size in GIMP to make a graph so I could make a solid image for game maker to cut in to tiles.

2. Rakes and Keys:

Yes this mess is finally fixed!!! - At least until I have to make the persistence thing to work.
This took me hours over a period of litterally days if not weeks to fix. BUT FINALLY!!! I got it.
Thank you God. I had to end up rewriting the entire code and remaking the settings in all the objects involved. But I must say, this is a much easier to understand code than the old one. I used that online whiteboard to help me out. I put all my variables and codes in there so I could move them around easier...though I forgot some of the time.

VIDEO:

This video is quick peeks, you won't see anything play-through-esque just quick peeks....Gotta save some interest for the release don't I? - Enjoy!

Thank you for reading, I hope you stay and enjoy the rest of the ride!
