kickin things off with hipsterween

i think the toilet scene is the only thing that came out how i wanted it to but its still pretty nice

if i had more than two weeks to work on it there'd be a lot more animation but what's there does the job

(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn3.ioffer.com%2Fimg%2Fitem%2F684%2F600%2F31%2FlrHnsdVFDrBBpyA.jpg&hash=c81471146cc6d1d1ec864d1232abdfde2cba48b9)

fuck
yes

That toilet scene turned out nice

That skeleton DJ part was cool

Pretty cool lenko

I came.

i came three times

holy fuckin shit

this is amazing

Lovely dearie, just lovely.

A lightning bolt just struck the tip of my penis.

I'm just gonna copy-paste my NG review.

This was quite spectacular.

Your art is very stylish. Your drawings are what kept me wanting more.
You had a nice feel throughout the video and mixed it well with the music.

My only down side to this is the fact that you played to the camera alot with transitions and zooms instead of having more actual animation.
Sure its nice to have every once in awhile to set a mood or an effect, but I felt it was used in excess.
Some of the bounce up and down tweens were a little awkward, but didn't really detract from the piece as a whole.

This was by far one of my favorite Halloween entries this year.
I hope you win something.

Quote from: mexifry895My only down side to this is the fact that you played to the camera alot with transitions and zooms instead of having more actual animation.

mmm yeah i felt like i was cheating a little in those parts. due to time constraints (i had two weeks to make this pretty much) i wasnt able to put in as much animation as i'd have liked, which is why i'm starting my winter flash a month ahead. thanks for the review

That's pretty impressive for two weeks.

No idea how you did that in 2 weeks but very well done!

I like the big money symbol I have on my head

lenko I have been trying to see it for the past hour and it still wont load because the god of the internet hates me for defying his sprite-forever rules

but dont you worry ill watch it soon enough!

posted this in the art progress thread but i may as well put it here too

the purple hair girl's boobs got bigger but the green chick's boobs got smaller

just evenin things out

Congrats of winning the style category and 100 bucks!

i thought the style was really cool but i didnt really follow the plot or enjoy the cartoon for whatever reason

still good though

ok i watched it again and i think i get it now

it's basically a cartoon where the entertainment comes from the visuals and watching a bunch of teenage idiot kids get kiolled by a bunch of monsters

yeah pretty much. the plot took a backseat with this cos i wanted to play with some funky ass colours and draw a monster comin out of a toilet. there really is nothing else other than 'idiots party in a mansion, watch them die'

I really dig the art style~♪

(And SHADOWFOX2 also did an awesome job with the music~)

concept art for my new cartoon that i start work on tomorrow. some sort of robot snowman, i think i want to make him look a bit more mechanical but he has a much more psychotic/'edgy' second stage that has a lot of exposed mechanics and stuff so idk! he's also fucking titanic so i'll probably show the mechanical details a bit more in closeups. his 'mouth' is made up of holes that exhale steam which is gonna look way cool

i'll probably post a few WIPs of it over the weeks, its probably coming out late december/early january. theres also a little animation thing going on in my city with a deadline date of january 15th, so i'll probably touch it up a bit in AE and submit it there as well as newgrounds and youtube and blahblahblah

Loving the snowman. I can't wait to see your winter project. Good luck starting things out.

I'm curious, do you start chronologically or do backgrounds first or what?

lenko your snowman is
literally too lmao

I love his wheels and scarf and stuff :J

I really like his expression. I look forward to the second stage~

Come to think of it I never understood scarfs on snowmen.

literally it is a dedede???

Quote from: MarcKLoving the snowman. I can't wait to see your winter project. Good luck starting things out.

I'm curious, do you start chronologically or do backgrounds first or what?

depends on the shots really. i try to get the shots that require the most work out of the way first, as well as the most detailed BGs or the ones that animate (such as a looping one)

Quote from: MrScriblamliterally it is a dedede???

well you know they both have a "lenkoface" >B)

something without a >B) or a

just trying out a design i had in my head. its a pigga

and along with it are some designs for another 'lenko animal' like the rhino/bison/tiger pics. this time its a chameleon cos they're amazingly fun to draw. none of these are concrete im just getting used to their structure i guess

i gotta say chameleons are really fuckin fun to draw though wow

Some neato chameleons. They seem fun.

yeah they're odd looking/distinctive creatures so they're fun to draw and easy to define

i dont think this pic is ever gonna get finished. i started it in september, completely forgot about it and then just refound it. but i like the lines so i'll post it here

lmao i havent even drawn the singer

Those chameleons are adorably awesome and I can tell you had fun drawing them~

Neat unfinished picture there.

threw together aspects of the head designs i liked and came up with this

i like it although i want most of the chameleon to actually be black with neon body parts all over

like a giant fuckin casino lizard

If you ever feel like it, draw it. I'm interested in how it'd turn out~

This looks plenty-a-fun.

You have all the plot set and it's all storyboarded or something?

Quote from: MarcKThis looks plenty-a-fun.

update 2: now with chick. the lineart here is rough because it only serves as a guide

Some characters for a story i've had in my head for about 10 years now (its changed significantly over the past decade but the main plot remains the same-ish). everything is in very early stages at the mo, so i'll be changing pretty much everything. suggestions welcome

its a really 'pulp' sci-fi road trip with robots and space vampires with a bit of british gangster film thrown in, and it centres on a rag-tag bunch of wannabe gangsters gettin into dirty deals and eatin dirty meals as they hope to become the most feared space criminals in history or whatever. how i'll actually tell this story is undecided, though i think a comic would be pretty cool, or little 4-minute flashes. i tend to revisit the concept only a couple of times a year so i want to get it fleshed out now.

isaac is the typical lenko character looking fella and the leader. he's extremely lazy and a chronic gambler, as well as shallow (especially when it comes to music), pretentious, apathetic (cept if its about music) and selfish. before he joined the crew he lived for a few years in technical solitude (as in he knew people but didn't really regard anyone as a friend) despite these horrible character traits he is the only person who can actually tell a crew what to do as well as pilot a ship. in typical cliche'd manner he gets nicer as the story goes on.

novue is the chick. she dislikes isaac heavily and is the widow of the team's former leader (who appears in the first arc of the story and is promptly eaten by a sand worm thing). despite being somewhat highly strung she does look after the rest of the crew and is easily their best melee combatant. she uses a shark-shaped sword when fighting which is pretty coola

gecko is isaac's 'best friend' and the resident alien/lizard. he's not modelled after any specific lizard, but he can change colours chameleon style and has a sticky tongue too. gecko is extremely angry nearly all the time and is probably the most 'hardcore' of the lot. he is notable for not actually having a job in the team (he just sort of hangs around) and beating the shit out of nearly everything he disagrees with. when gecko isn't angry he usually picks on isaac.

hunky doris is the most comedic member and is some sort of chef-robot. if you've ever seen any of my cartoons then this guy has a very similar voice and personality to Dr. Mocha. doris doesn't hesitate to teaste/wind up his peers and often plays childish pranks or makes offbeat remarks. he is also a broken 'product' so he is also shit at cooking. he will make this face a lot

cassie, the smallest and youngest member, is the marksman. despite his ridiculous talents he is a cowardly, spineless, hyperactive kid and often lets his nerves get the better of him. i imagine him acting a little bit like tweek from south park except not as annoying

(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fok%2Fpublic%2F810Zo9_stuff.PNG&hash=eaad440fcd88e577030b39439abcb9a3d1e0e6ee)

That is a badass chef.

Neato art, as usual~ Looking forward to figuring out what the girl is fighting the snow-macaque-thing-of-death with. I'm guessing fire, though I'm not too sure just yet.

As for your plot, what's your motley crew of to-be space criminals up against? Is there any space law enforcement? Do they end up facing space criminals (either of the organized crime or deadly space pirate sort) that know that they're a bunch of wannabes who end up exploiting them ("Whoa! This is our big break!"), leading to your band of buddies whooping ass by turning the tables? 'Cause if that ends up being the inciting incident and the said criminals aren't complete pushovers, it might lead to the protagonists getting themselves into different situations and such, like other criminals (and possible other parties) giving a darn. Of course, the drawback to this formula is that it's probably been done hundreds of times already.

haha thanks, she's fighting with an ignited stick

as for the main plot i have no real idea yet apart from its envisioned as a 'road trip' and will be pretty episodic. what the characters are striving to reach at this moment in time i havent figured out yet

also speed ref of isaac

That's a cool lanky dude there.

Gengar looks so huggable, and yet like the sort of fella who'd punch out my eye and eat it. I blame his huge, awesome grin.

How fast did you do these speedpaints?

i limit myself to 25 minutes, which is why some of squirtle is still undetailed

The only thing I see somewhat awkward after a decent while of looking is the girl's right arm. The twig seems a bit skinny to be held by two hands and I don't see evidence of the other arm's grip. If it's the pose of the right hand behind the arm then I'd pose it differently. =)

I really like it though. It's very nice.

concept art for a 'generic' enemy for wonder knight radish the amazing game by me and billymonks. although for some reason i think he'd work better as a recurring miniboss like the arm-swinging fucker in mario 3

I like how soft and fluffy the lady's hair looks~

Also, I agree that the rhino-dude comes off as more of a recurring mini-boss than a generic enemy. His build isn't that of a super-easy pushover.

nice shading, but you should study line of action. it should help you with this one because he looks a bit stiff

i imagine there being no cutscene and instead you walk up to the cave and he pops out like lightning and scares the shit out of you and you can either fight him or run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

holy shit ace

that iguana is cool

the iguana seems too simple considerin how fancy the lil enemies look

Quote from: Lthe iguana seems too simple considerin how fancy the lil enemies look

i wonder how many wips ive uploaded to rtils site

this is a for remake of something i did last year now i know construction better blah blah!!

Me likey the variety of features a lot of the faces have~

quick question: i'm redoing radish's sprites over the last few days and i'm really stuck on a colour scheme for him. what sort of colours would you guys find appealing on a knight character? i'm looking at two main ones - armour and under-armour. just trying to find a good combo

Armor: Silver and Under armor: Light blue?

i think brass armor could be cool (https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.american-heirlooms.com%2Fimages%2FImagesBRASS%2Farmor-2.jpg&hash=1f4334574ebd13cb4850a477074533fced3bc7ab)
like it would make it look like an antique which would fit his gun
and the under armor might look cool as reddish brown

^brass and brown-red would be ace for the steampunk look

well since he's a radish knight maybe his armor should be some kind of metallic unsaturated magenta
that or try making it some kind of wooden machinery type of armor (like sequoia wood with lots of cogs, gears, and pumps etc etc)

whenever im working on big projects (theres 3 at the mo im sure you can guess them) i like to have a window open in PS for doing shitty doodles like these!

vegeta is my fave

believe it!!!!!!

lmao the one on the way left, are those buck teeth or what is that?
also i like the way you draw girls. they're very cute

thanks i like drawing cute chicks even though they tend to follow the same formula

yeah those are teeth!

I like the original design so far for this game.
If anything, the brass color on the gun doesn't match his armor, but I'm not complaining.
I like the whole reddish feel of his under-armor because it gives him that bold, "player one" feel if you know what I mean.
I dunno I guess red/1P is just a standard that blue, green and yellow just can't fill.
Maybe later on in development, you can make sprites with different color armor when the player achieves something, like gold armor for beating the game, or wonder armor I dunno.

Cool sketches also

whilst working on radish's new sprites i did this concept art of an angler thing for the water levels

im sure billy knows enough about games that he'll be able to make the water stages tolerable and not a frustrating bag of shit like pretty much every video game ever
