Do you want to know how I started?

Well, I have read Eric's tutorials a few times, looked at Trilby a lot (and I mean a lot, 5DAS running in background) and then just popped up PS and tried to do the same thing. Then I got disappointed with results and half a year I have done nothing. But then I collected all my patience, and tried once more. I tried to draw a background, and it did not turn out very bad, actually.
One VERY important thing is to choose a good paint program that you feel comfortable in. I personally use ImageReady for animation, ArtGem for BGs and GraphicsGale for sprites. Start basic. Basic furniture like shelves, sofas, TVs, square things. Squares are easy.

But I guess all of these I have covered in my tutorial you have already probably read. In case not, do it, it is in the Tutorial thread in CL.

I don't know if I get correctly what you want, but I think the best thing is to make everything by yourself. It takes away much of the rewarding feeling when you use someone else's work. If you can't draw something in sufficient detail, go for less detail, but for your own work.

I don't know for sure how it is in high res though. I make low res graphics for now, and things like tilings and so on can be easily made. Anyway, I would always go for my own work...

Pure pleasure out there, Disco!

Welcome aboard and good luck with that MAGS game!

(I found AGS through 5DAS as well!)

But yes, only because of it's awesomeness!

Yeah, gas masks are waaay coool! I love to wear them! It is not too comfortable though 

I am fairly confident I can get the art, animation, music, plot etc... done, but the scripting and the nuts & bolts stuff is where I might come stuck

Everyone can learn to write codes easily. Not everyone can learn to draw nicely though. You have the harder part done, be happy man 

Oooone mooore tiiime:

Well, I have no words. I have probably no normal photo of mine. On every single one, I have a really really insane expression. This one is not an exception.

Well, maybe it is suitable to post the red-eyes one to express the demon feel even more 

This photo was taken after a school party. A boy from a next class asked me the next day: "So you went to drink more to the town?" I said that I am a non-drinker. He just curved his eyebrow and said: "Well, because.....the photo.....looked....ehm....interesting....". And couldnt believe me that I was sober. But it is true that I have a bit "interesting" expression there.

Laugh now:



(I fixed the eyes from red, so they are not the most accurate color)

Yeah, i thing i've got it now. Started with boxes and developing it in layers on top of it in many steps. It's turning out nicer and nicer.

Thanks for tips boys 

I didn't want to do this ever on any forums, but this forum kinda sucked me up and I'm now an addict.

But to the point: I feel I must post my photos here, when I've seen yours.
So - GO ME!



Some lame photoshopping:

Hope this doesn§t hit mz reputation 

Wow, that's pretty difficult, because of the perspective and so on. Don't you have problems finding a suitable image ?

Hello there guys.

I am working on a BG and it's giving me a hard time.
It's a garage, and I want a vehicle in it. But everytime I try it turns out that it sucks. I'm not posting the BG here, because I would probably in depths of my mind copy somebody's repaint. 

All I want to know is: How do you people draw vehicles ? What are your techniques ?
