Once again, I run into a series of great looking webpages that make me green, sad and angry. One, some seem to extend off of existing blog systems. Two, their graphics design is really impressive in some cases. I’m not as good as them for sure.
The art professionals win.
In preparation for Ragdoll Kung Fu (RDKF) being released on Steam, I’ve made a few avatars to stick on the ragdolls. Of course, I have no idea what format the game will take, but it’s fun to post anyway.
A short movie to prove that World of Warcraft is, in fact, metal. WoW is Fucking Metal.wmv [21mb]
Done with my n00b Warlock (demon worshiper) in the Undercity. The song is “Micro Cuts” by Muse.
Playing with cartooning style in Illustrator. It’s not very easy but I think I got a decent hand object created. This pic shows the primative shapes. Use the pathfinder->join to get the final image below.
Then you can copy and rotate to give the ‘hands typing’ look which is what I was going for.
It’s extremely aggravating sucking at design like this. Maybe I should take a class. I’m decent at Photoshop because of high school computer graphics but vector art is a completely different beast.
Getting started with the pen tool is tough. Drawing primatives and creating them into something recognizable is tough. Modifying paths is hard. I would guess a design shop charges a lot for illustration work. It’s very catchy, original and impressionist but time-consuming.
Not Great, but illustration is pretty hard.
