The Rules:

Be one of the first 9 people commenting on this journal entry, and I'll put your avatar and three deviations that I think are the coolest in this "Share the Art" feature.

The idea behind this is NOT to get a free feature, but to help spread art and artists around for everyone. So be a nice guy!

Not 'so' great news, but at least its a hint they ARE doing a second game:
[link]

~Dirk
Playing Skyward Sword and finished the 3rd dungeon.

So far the game has the usual probs like the other 3D ones.
Camera acts like a braindead walrus is moving it (many kills caused by camera) and the navigator sidekick is calling the obvious.

The new items are smart and make fun. The dungeons feel way more polished and complicated than the ones from Twilight Princess.
The way to the dungeons feels way more exciting and like a important part of the game than just 'run trough it and kill everything between'.
The 2nd Boss is one of the best I have experienced in the series so far.

The controls are maybe a bit overloaded and the motion control could use some rework in sense of reaction, but its way more fun to think when you attack instead of
just hack and slay.

The whole world feels way more cleaned and oversightable. No endless search for items everywhere.
Pretty much like Windwaker.
The characters feel all way more likeable than in Twilight. Groose could become on of my favs.

I did not mind the long intro. Actually gave more time to get used to the characters, controls and the town.
The game rewards you with lottsa more fun afterwards.

I enjoy the bright watercolor style. We had a dark and gritty Zelda with Twilight, its a nice change of pace and feel.

Storywise... I don't know. I enjoyed Majora's Mask and WindWaker over all the other 3D ones. Skyward Sword comes
close to be one of my prefered titles of the series.  

That's all I have to say so far.

~Dirk
This year I had some nice discoveries in the fields of tattoo and graffiti, where artists were using my drawings without permission and going with the easy excuse 'It's a free interpretation of your drawing'.
I repeat it again... ASK FOR PERMISSION. It won't hurt you to do that and you won't die when I say no.
And when you get caught, because you even did not tell the artist AFTER you posted an image on devart... don't get jerky... you did the mistake, not the artist.

Its plain art theft to use it without a permission from the artist.
No artist likes it when you use his gallery as a free to use collection for your tattoo shop or your graffiti idea.

Must I really put big ugly copyright watermarks over my drawings, because some of you still can't learn basic rules?

Or go the best way: DO OWN ART instead of using others drawing. You won't get into copyright trouble when you draw your own stuff.

It is not that hard to learn and understand the basics of respecting others property... and you can even show off more between your scene kids, when you drew your own stuff.

Flash Flash Flash Flash.

~Dirk
Thanks for all the Birthday wishes! Really appreciate them.

And the last journal was fake, should be obvious already.

Have fun.

~Dirk
That's right! I got a gig at dreamworks creating the next big 3D movie. I pitched one of my ideas and it got accepted.
It's still pretty much the start of it and cannot really tell more, but be prepared for updates!

Cheers
Dirk

I will rule the world with my new skills! Women will lick honey from my feet. Otakus will beg to have my girls on pillows.

Verna was the artist for Princess Daisy in the Mario Kart Collab. She got not credited in the Game Master magazine print (which was not my mistake). To make it good for her, here an extra credit!

Princess Daisy - Verna Jääskinen :iconvern-argh:  [link]

Go check her out!

~Dirk

P.s.: You can order the magazine here: [link]


Thanks for everyone! And don't forget to check out the GameMaster Magazine, which includes a print of the drawing.

Themrog lineup

Journal Entry: Fri Oct 7, 2011, 12:21 PM


:iconthemrog:




I think I continue it till all main characters and gods are done and then do a linup with a bit more detailed descriptions.
I tried to avoid showing them all here, specially Monizrak, but whatever.

Here a little list of all characters I will do (or have done already):

Protagonists:

1. Gnarr the Dwarf - On the quest to do something 'good' in the world.
2. Ishayah the Dryad - Princess of the Ginko Tribe and the chosen guard spirit of Gnarr. Olodi killed her father.
3. Araniella from the Spider Tribe - Tribe and Family killed by Olodi and some humans and rescued by Ishayah. Now her friend and protector from butterflies.
4. Syrillia the Gryphon Girl - Ambassador who lost her mind after an attack from Olodi. Rescued by Gnarr, Ishayah and Araniella.
5. Deadeye Bob - Cursed barbarian, who can never die and walks apathic around to find new challenges and a way to die.
6. Mossgod - Minor god of Moss. Hides in the hair of Ishayah to avoid work.
7. Kirr - A little annoying fairy that tries to protect a hill against Monizrak and seeks Mossgods help.

Antagonists:

1. Monizrak - God of mushrooms, putrefaction and biodegradation. Wants the whole world rotten to gain more power. Needs dryad skin to build a powerfull armour.
2. Kardagg - A cannibal who works for monizrak to get human flesh. Voted as the leader of the human tribe.
3. General Olodi - Leader of the Nymph hunters. Works for Monizrak to get food and power over other insectoid creatures (to eat their heads).
4. Baat - The right hand of Olodi and as cruel as his boss. They bring dead dryads for Monizrak to build him an armour.
5. Pillarius - The left hand of Olodi. Actually a pretty lighthearted guy who is just misguided. Acts more out of fear of Olodi than out of pure will.
6. Wizward - The incompetent wizard who lost the Election against Kardagg and plans a revolt.

Big Gods:

Female gods

1. Kami Fadra - Goddess of animals and evolution. (wife of Saibai)
2. Kwaa Kwii - Goddess of hybrids and hydrides.
3. Tarajoba - Goddess of War, fire and senslessness. (wife of Tux)
4. Kakaraka - Goddess of life, earth and peace.
5. Nadja Fadra - Goddess of rain, wind, weather and silence. (daugther of Kami and Saibai)
6. Froobata - Goddess of dreams and nightmares. (daugther of Tux and Tarajoba)

Male gods

1. Saibai Fadra - God of nature and forests. (Husband of Kami Fadra) [Boss of the Mossgod].
2. Tux - God of death, hunger and diseases. (husband of Tarajoba)
3. Rhansal - God of emotions and hoax.

(and on a side note. The Themrog world is inside of a plant cell. And the plant that has the Themrog world in it, is in the room of Motti Marloid ;) )
