@mrmattimation I'm sorry to hear about that. Did you apply to more than one?
-
@scoot Yeah, I applied to like five, but they're all harder to get into than this one was.
-
@mrmattimation Dang. Don't completely give up hope though, you have 4 more chances.

Spent the day re-animating my film due to Tutors hating my brush choice, so I spent some time doodling a fantasy box-art for a game that doesn't exist. Maybe I'll make it someday. Didn't have time to finish this so that's why some of it is blue and sketchy. http://pny.lv/090ng

@mrmattimation It has it's good and bad points. Good points are that it has all of Photoshop's usual features available, bad points is that it's a bit clunky. It can do onion-skinning and such, it's all very basic. Working with good brushes is what makes it for me though. Takes a bit of getting used to
-
@mrmattimation Reading back what I posted... yeah I sounded like a dick, sorry.
But still it's the only thing that can prevent that from helping again.
and it has more advantages, loading up an older version can help you see "when x-feature started kiwiing up"
again, wasn't trying to be an ass, sorry :( -
@scoot oh, right, you have layers and stuff, my bad, been working too long on a single program I kinda forgot elsewhere things don't suck so bad
I'm forced by my school's stupid program to work with Microsoft Visual studio, it's HORRID, you try to do something in C, it works, you load it again 3 hours later and it goes through a magical equation that involves the current phase of the moon, the time of day and how many Kingdom Hearts Speedrunners are on Twitch at the time, and sometimes (most of the time) even so it refuses to load the damn code properly.
I lost a trimester's worth of work last year kuz for some reason the damned thing decided to change the class load order and prevent me from undoing it.
And to make matters worse the compression is HORRID, the same code compiled in gcc (linux) is about 3mb (code + app) while on MVS it's above 700mb

I will echo that if my actual film file had corrupted and I was told "That's what you get for not keeping backups!" I'd have been livid. Do not do this.

Alright, I'm 100% guilty of taking design cues from the things around me. Everyone is. But it's not WRONG to criticize art. It never is.
Saturday, 27-Feb-16 01:20:21 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation All works are derivative in some way, it's impossible not to be.

-
Matt and I are both in on the CalArts stuff, wow.
Saturday, 27-Feb-16 01:09:08 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation Same, it's getting a little annoying and I've not seen anybody with a valid argument in favour of CalArts yet.
-
@scoot I saw one that was like "um do you know CHARACTER design???????? if u can tell the silhouette it doesn't MATTER what the actual style is" and another that was like "all art looking the same is good they did it in the renaissance all the time". What really bugs me is that people are treating it like it's a cardinal SIN to criticize the fact that a lot of cartoon characters today have relatively the same facial structure and big, toothy grin.
-
@mrmattimation I saw that first one, which falls apart because the argument is that they have the same face, not the same silhouette. Their designs are great, but they would look better if they had unique smiles. Design trends will always be a thing, but it's not exactly always good and it should be critiqued like all art.

hey guys i decided to get with the times and finally redesign my characters what do u think (i learned how to draw this at calArts) http://rainbowdash.net/url/833771

@mrmattimation totally independently of you I have also redesigned my character http://pny.lv/08ic3

Seeing a lot of CalArts posts on my Tumblr dash and I'm on the fence on the matter. On the one hand I really like those cartoons and they are obviously visually distinct from each-other, on the other hand I can't excuse the toothy-grinned expression that they all have.
Saturday, 27-Feb-16 01:08:45 UTC from web -
I need more games with several hundred-hours worth of content. Every penny counts.
Saturday, 27-Feb-16 00:59:55 UTC from web-
@scoot I totally get that. Usually when I'm too broke to buy any new games I'll just go back to watching tv shows.
-
@northernnarwhal i pirate video games cherrying burn me
-
-
At least I still have stuff to do in MH4U to tide me over. Somehow 500 hours in and there's still content I haven't seen.
Saturday, 27-Feb-16 00:29:12 UTC from web-
@scoot Now fans just have to wait forever for MHX. Although I have more than enough games to tide me over, the new Fire Emblem alone is eating up a ton of my free time.
-
@northernnarwhal I'll be playing the new FE when I have some money to spare, so probably not for a good while. Hopefully I'll get employed soon after I graduate and I'll be able to buy games again.
-
@scoot Yeah, I had money put aside for several months for the new Fire Emblem as I've been a fan of the series for a while now.
-
-
Also "Just hunt a lot of Elder Dragons" yeah okay no problem http://pny.lv/08ia4

@scoot NO PROBLEM AT ALL http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/833769

Listen, Adobe, if you just appleing optimized the program, Animate would be GOLDEN. Literally every issue I've had with it so far has been related to its insane RAM usage.
Saturday, 27-Feb-16 00:35:40 UTC from web-
@scoot I actually had to pirate it because, according to an Adobe customer service representative, it is a known issue that their programs do not play nice with antivirus software, so my free 30 day trial was over before I started it. Then they wouldn't fix it and instead told me to buy a Cloud subscription to fix the problem. It's INFURIATING how buggy it is, because they finally fixed the brush tool for the most part.
-
@mrmattimation Wow amazing. CC's support and account management is terrible, I wish I didn't need these programs tbh.
-
@scoot Adobe is too integrated into my workflow, I don't think I'll ever be able to leave. The standard interface is ingrained in my mind.

Guys, I have a 32GB MicroSD now. I need 3DS games to install. Fire recommendations away.

I want to be excited about the new Pokemon, but there's nothing to talk about. We really only have a logo for now. I'll get hyped/un-hyped when we see some new Pokemon designs.
Saturday, 27-Feb-16 00:02:14 UTC from web-
@scoot Yeah, at this point I'm looking forward to it but I can't even decide which one I'm gonna get based on title alone.
-
@northernnarwhal I already know I'll get Moon. I'm not a day-time person.
-
@scoot Moon sounds cooler and I'm leaning more towards it, but the Sun legendary could win me over.

All the work I did today: http://pny.lv/08hse
A lot of it is unfinished in terms of timing or needing additional frames. Just wanted a bit of critique. If anyone is very interested I can upload the animatic tomorrow.

@scoot I'm likely gonna be doing some more schooling after I graduate where I'm currently attending, though I'm not gonna drop out because it'll damage my credit.
-
@northernnarwhal Good luck with that, although if your course is anything like mine you'll be super exhausted by the end of it.

@scoot Oh sweet, those were both great games. If you liked Awakening you'll for sure like Fates too, personally I think I may already prefer Fates despite loving Awakening. If you want Hana make sure to get Birthright as she's a unit in the Hoshido story.
-
@northernnarwhal I think that one was the one I was going to get anyway
-
@scoot I personally prefer the really heavily Eastern inspired designs of Birthright's characters, so I started with it.

Hi RDN, I am miserable and panicking about failing my course because I can't bring myself to do work and I am exhausted. How is everybody doing? http://pny.lv/08gld
Friday, 26-Feb-16 12:52:02 UTC from web-
@scoot It's okay, I can understand the busyness and don't at all hold it against you for not being here often. I am glad to see you whenever you're around though, I have lots of respect for you as a person and love your art. It's troubling to hear you're going through so many troubles, and I want you to know it's not your fault. Depression just sucks the motivation right out of you, and anxiety doesn't help work ethic at all. I know the despondency and exhaustion, and college has made me really in tune with my own powerlessness lots of the time. I spend lots of my time at mine too, which has led to lots of stress. I guess I'm probably not helping too much, but I guess what I'm trying to say is I understand all too well, and hope for the best for you cause you deserve it.
-
@northernnarwhal thanks much, it does help to not be alone in having these troubles.

Apologies for showing up and just being miserable all over the timeline.
Friday, 26-Feb-16 14:13:50 UTC from web-
@scoot You do you. You can't change someone by whining at him or her that you dislike something about him or her anyway. You just hope that things will work out in the better for them sooner rather than later. Although tactical buttkickings should always remain an option should someone ONLY decide to focus on the negatives, which is especially annoying when things are actually going well.

Girlfriend came home and basically told me that it's all my own fault for not working hard enough and that she won't sugar-coat it for me. This anti-support happens often, I think it's making me worse than I would be otherwise.
