Attend PAX for the first time with all you lovely Dtoid type people!
I'm so ready to be overwhelmed. Not only by the amount of stuff to see and do, but mostly by how awesome my fellow toid people are going to redoubtably be!
I know Mikey will probably be busy as eff with requests, so if you can't get the best, why not settle for....... Whatever I am?...
I'll be taking requests for art from now until PAX is over, so the more detailed it is, the sooner you probably wanna ask for it. Oh, and since I'm not putting it on Destructoid, I don't feel the need to make it SFW, so make it as NSFW as you want.
To help with costs I'll also have all the art you've seen in this blog with me, I'll be selling it to whoever grabs it up first. Don't worry, I'll keep it cheap, I just gotta eat and drink. So call dibs if you want it.
See you all there, I'll be the guy with the Gentleman dinosaur shirt doing the Mario impression.
Alright all, while sitting around this weekend, hoping someone would enter the fnf room so that I could shoot them, I drew some... I had a lot of time... No one is playing COD4 anymore apparently.
So here's some new art, with the next part in the Tingle Murder Mystery.
To go with my Spy drawing , I decided to try another TF2 character that's not my normal style, the Heavy was the one that spilled out of my head.
Luigi's totally growing big right now.
Carrying around a bird all day isn't as fun as you'd think.
And now, the next part of the Tingle Saga: part 1part 2
Professor Layton talks to Tingle's fellow whores, and finds out that Tingle was one of the higher priced skanks. He was willing to do that "freaky stuff". He kept all his customers under wraps though.
(sorry for the shoddy quality of my pens, higher quality here.)
Hopefully my brain is working again and hope you all enjoyed.
Also, this is the last week for FNF, GO PLAY FOR CRAPS SAKE, if nothing else, I'd like more people to play COD4 on 360, tourny or not.
So I was playing through Splosion Man, and I got to thinking about humor in videogames, and why it seems as though funny games are good, and games that try to be funny fail and aren't. Most often suck.
Lets use a recent game and an old game for examples.
Recent funny game: Splosion man.
I've played through the single player and the multiplayer. I enjoyed every moment of it and found it constantly funny, even when I had already seen what was happening.
All of Splosion man's animations, his sounds, the joy he's having from sploding, they all have a distinct humor to them that not many games can pull off.
Splosion Man is funny and it seems effortless that it is. Which is a key to humor. Don't let people know you're trying to be funny, like BMX XXX.
Crappy not funny old game: BMX XXX
Get it?! Pimps and humping pink poodles are funny!
Lord this game is horrible, but I was suckered in with the promise of boobies... The boobies were not worth the price of my soul. The writing was stupid, crass, unfunny, not creative in the slightest. How can you try so hard for humor and not even amuse an at the time teenage boy that just wants boobs?
Granted these games are in different leagues, but I just wanted to use them as examples. I can't think of a bad game that uses humor in a good way, and I can't really think of good games that try to be funny that fail.
And I've been trying to figure out why that is.
Could it be that companies that make good games have more creative people, and those people are naturally funnier?
So I wanted to bring this subject to you all, and maybe see if there is are funny crappy games out there (intentionally funny, I know Two Worlds is funny for all the wrong reasons), or a great game that fails at humor. Why do you think Tim Schafer's games are always fun to play as well as funny as balls. Why not funny and kinda meh to play, is it his oversite? Or other talented people just get sucked in towards him?
Also, I wanted an excuse to post this Video, if you haven't beat Splosion Man yet, just pass it by, but if you have and haven't seen this... Enjoy...
Egad it's been awhile since I posted a blog. I'll be honest, I burnt myself out, I took on way too much art in a short time and overloaded. It was quite awhile before I even wanted to hold a pencil again. But I think I'm back, and I'll try and update with art at least semi regularly.
Also things got a bit topsy turvy, my schedule switched to mornings, so my body was totally out of wack there for awhile... I was... Quite grumpy.
But all is right with the world now, and I'll try and get the story I was going to draw back on track, as well as other fan art, now that my brain is working again that is.
As I stated in my last blog, I was going to try and get a get story going, with the murder of Tingle, and the mystery of who done it. Who ever will solve it? Professor Layton that's who. So here's the next image in that saga... Sorry there's only one.
Link explains to the Professor that even though it was his sword in Tingle's back, it couldn't have been him. He pawned his sword so he could get his debilitating fairy addiction fix. (large version here)
I think I'll take it in a new direction. We'll make this kind of like choose your own adventure...
If you'd like to see the Professor interview the pawn shop owner let me know.
OR
If you'd like to see the Professor talk to Tingle's fellow street walkers, say so.
The most votes will be the next drawing!
Also. I updated my room a bit, so it's more nerdy then ever!
My whole new shelf, thanks Ikea! I'll hopefully never have to visit you again.
I'll probably post a better blog at some point showing it and my collection off once I feel like my game room is as good as it's gonna get, but right now, I'm happy with this.
Also, Funktastic, I haven't forgotten about you, I'll be sending your stuff shortly, sorry it's taken so long, I'll be sure and throw some extra stuff in there for you.
Finally, thanks for looking, hope I'll be as stable as I was a while ago!
Later all.
So this is a nice little announcement for me, I'm going to be trying something different for a little bit. You'll still get to see the same messed up disturbing imagery you've come to expect from me, but it's going to be slightly more controlled.
I'll be trying a story format, where I try and tell a bit of a tale in one image chunks. I wanted to start it with a bang, and what better way then getting another Dtoid artist involved? So here's the first image with colors by Togail
large here Professor Layton and the Bi-Curious Village
(thanks to Togail for coming up with the title)
Each post the Professor will be trying to unravel the mystery of who killed the local prostitute Tingle in the land of Video games... Oh the characters he'll meet!
(and no, it's not as obvious as you think it is)
And there will more then likely be more help from Togail, so look forward to that to!
Hope you all enjoyed, I'll try and make this an enjoyable ride.
