@ Darky: Wagh... For a second I thought you meant that... Well, I'll edit this post with those sketches later. Uh also, if you want me to give some insigt to help with things like their habit, wardrobe or whatnot, I can help if you get stuck on anything. (This goes for Jeje-chan too). @ Jejechi: The "Cool Guy" design was actually meant for Allen Garpo, the other male hacking club member I added to the cast. Like Darky, said, you dont need me to give permission to give design sugfgestions. So far the hacking club president still doesent have a design, and I only got heads for Uncle Sam the principal(Alice) and english teacher(Carl).   |

guys i will inform you and I need help" "I will change the main proposal because of my second character Rosete" "but only in this proposal" "I shall give the proposal in some time but within this month, I am gathering all the resources that I need in this project, even I need to read" "all the VNs that I had and watched some anime for it" "the changes can cause 1% overhaul but the good thing is that the loop was not destroyed" "Darky and Jejechi- you can post my character in the thread" @Ugo- yes, I will send them after I finished it... --> |

[I will hopefully post more progress after a good night's sleep] I've drafted it out. Idk I think the posture kinda fits Aya but it's still the majority's decision xD and yes they are separated by layers... the face, the body, and the clothes... probably later a more flexible version where everything is 'articulated' ouo though some thing like only facial expressions changing might eb alright? what do you guys think? append1:  promo image for the Kit and Cathy so here's a pic comparing the colors of the two.. what do you guys think?

@ Darky Liking it. She kooks very prim and proper with her stance. I would like to say there probably should be at least 2 extra stances (such as ones for relaxed, or shocked) for at least the main characters to keep things from seeming too still. I'm not really understanding what you mean by "Articulated" though. ^^' Kit and Cathy have turned out very well in my opinion. Kit feels perfect to me. Cathy, seems ot have a stronger tsundere aura to her in the picture. Nonetheless, I think it works out just fine for her! I've been attempting to scan the sketches I have. Seems scanner is being a bit complacent. Will have to scan at school. |

...yo. This project interested me when I first saw it in the forums, and after reading pages about the story, characters, design and everything, I saw that you still needed music for this project. That's what I was looking forward to, since if it's not too late, may I join the music department? I'm the same as Ishi; I work with Digital Audio Workstations. While I'm best with metal video game remixes, I do other genres as well, and here's my best example of that: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/268247

@KM: Thanks! I use easypaint tool SAI for most of it XD but I do use photoshop, but more on post-editing stuff @Ugo: err about that, I had to fix because it might look awkward for that to be her "normal" posture xD yeah I'll do make more stances but for now focus on the fundamental one xD It's my first time for this so I'm doing what i can good luck scanning >: When I say Articulated, It means you can practically move the limbs in 2d space in any way it should be moved xD well it's actually a term I only use myself so I'll just show how I mean it later ---- for now here are some of Aya's expressions A set of 2 eyes, 3 eye brows, 4 mouths, and an option blush... (but this is only the beginning?) XD Aya1 CGed the head already ^^ still needs alot expressions to be done though xD some of the other side characters, I'M not serious with this xD just testing out edit4: A lil bit of bad news from my side, My horrible grasp of anatomy finally reared it's ugly head. The sprite for aya looks too gruesome to look at ;___; I'll halt the progress for a bit until I can do a better job. Promo stuff for now I guess...

@ All: Mokona hasn't replied back for a while. I'll get what I can do on my own done now. Guess her life has been as busy as mine for the past week. @ Darky: Well, just get in the practice you need for autonomy. You made quite a push in progress as it has been. Anyway, I am fine with promotional material for now. EDIT: Those Character sketches I promised Tried to clean them up a little bit this time... ^^' @ Unknown: Writing PM message now... |

OTL tbh I check this place every other hour XDD *I have no life OTL* --------- @Ugo: I noticed my link to my versions are broken, too bad might have been nice to compare them xD For Ms. Alice, I think we pretty much have similar vision to what she looks like although mine looked more fitting to be in a lolita outfit xDD For Mr. Carl, lol... how will his skin tone be? this would probably be a red head with white complexion or a guy with black ro tanned skin. A preferably having a built-up body? He is a security guard *but I was thinking bouncer* --- anyways for my usual updates, I'd like to share the emotion chart that everyone's going to get (this does not include special expressions nor different poses atm)  A set of eye brows, eyes, and mouths... they would make atleast 400 expressions xD but I don;t think we'll need that much OTL xD I am certainly getting to do different things now. xD [edit2] Well here's the promo image... well a WIP of it ^^  sorry it's small the colors are messed up xD I'm starting to get less open with these as we get into the more core parts of it. *just for now leakage lolol*

Hello everyone! Very soon I will be going into exams and so I will try and finish the last part now.. I wanted to say a huge thanks to everyone for their progress! Darky, as we all know, is making excellent progress on the characters and Ugo has made a few amazing sketches herself! Also, there's no particular rush Karuzo! I know you're doing your best :) Plus, welcome rtnario! If you are interested in the music, You can drop Schaz a message, just click on his avatar and to the right of his profile, you can message him, or directly MSN him.. I'm sorry for being so crappy recently, so I will do as much as I can from here til exams! *Off to spam shoutmix chat to annoy Ugo* lool ~   |

scratch that. I got sane enough to realize I made no sense so...* Okay, the rant aside this is what the thing mentioned:
-------- @Schaz: Thanks C: @Mokona: Don't worry, I think everyone's like that recently so... --------- *removed all drama stuff yay* --- updates: Finished The Aya Chibi I've been meaning to draw... I'll do the others momentarily I'll keep the high res png of the image for now, instead I'll show you the progression of how I do my coloring..  As you can see, I draft them first, I separated them into two parts here but I usually do them in one go, next is lineart. Sometimes I do drafts clean enough that they need to be linearted again. Next is Cel-shading to plan the shadows. The one here is cleaner than usual and looks good enough already but I then go on to the part I like the most, the soft cg phase. It took me 2 hours. But that included the fact that I went clean with this. But that's the usual time I spend. I might do the others in one go in the form of a livestream broadcast. I do hope you guys have the time to check it out later xD

Darky that looks great! It could be quite an idea to have this chibi Aya on the menu, like in the corner? her mouth could move and someone could voice each option- So, for example: you move up and down and when you stop on [PLAY] the little chibi Aya could move her mouth, and someone here doing the voice acting could say "play" and the chibi Aya would nod or smile? 1st year anniv already?? Wow oO we should think of something to do.. :D |

@mokona Well, you can see that Schaz already approved I guess...so I'm in. Hope to work with everyone well! :D @schaz Thanks, glad to be part of the music department. Although I really wonder what I'm supposed to be doing so I'll be around if anyone needs any themes and whatnot like Ugo PM'd me about. LEAF XCEED Music Division (my artist name) is now officially helping out in this project! *salute*

@ Darky: On Mr. Carl, I died imagine him being a bit more well built compared to the other characters. But looks average thanks to his attire. As for skin tone, go for tanned. Mr Carl is a school teacher, but exercise and staying in shape is one of the major ways he spends his free time. Oh, I do note that on Miss Alice, I did have her drawn prior to you posting up idea sketches, it is surprising we even had her with a pearl necklace. I'm with Mokona on the menu thing. I think we mentioned it earlier, but it would be great if the menu could have different characters pop up and all have different ways to explain menu items EX: Lax New Game: "This starts the story from the beginning" Continue: "Shall we pick off from where we left off?" Options: "If there's anything you find not to your liking, go here" Exit: "Take Care" Aya NG: "Huh..? Who-am..I?" Cont: "I think somethings coming back to me now..." Options: "Uh, guys...? What if I want to change something?" Exit: "Okay, See Ya!" Ashley NG: "Remember, things can always turn out differently if you try new things." Cont: "Today's club meeting is... this again?" Options: "K-kit!? Did you play with the brightness option on my phone again!?" Exit: "Well, at least nobody got hurt too badly..." (alternatively if we go with one character for it, it would probably be aya explaining it closer to the Lax example. I'm willing to give the img board a chance. Will bode well for the art department, may be useful for other things too. Also, I'm alright with pulling off some things from the gallery. However, I still do want to keep some "Finished" items there instead of knocking off the section entirely. Please contact Jon on this. Adult Characters Sketch By Darky (Fixed) @ Schaz: I tried to sugar coat this a good amount, but I cant think anything up, so I'll say this plainly: I want music to meet with one another soon. Though we have a good amount of talent, there is a lack of guidance. So, the IM meeting comes up once again, particularly for Music. 1-3 (or more on request) weeks from now on either saturday or sunday by GMT time. Or whatever time is convenient. Music department are going to want to figure out possibly a particular style or types of instruments to use for the music. Alternatively, you guys can have some samples prepared for that meeting to go through processing by Ishi or Unknown. Please send out PM's to your department members. Tell them about this and ask when they want this meeting to happen. Any questions/comment on this? (sorry for pushing you guys forward so unexpectedly. But, consideirng Ishi-and Unknown bieng both around, it's a shame to just let you guys sit around anymore) @ Mokona: *Prepares to delete all her spam posts* For me, I think it would be a little too much if Aya was looking around all over the place. I'm fine with a static image and mouth flaps at the most. @ Unknown: Well, I hope to have you and Ishi work with one another soon... Time to start organizing Music a bit more. @ All: Wow! I didn't even realize it, but yeah, this project's one year anniversary is about to come up! ...well, for my part, I'll talk with Mokona about posting a portion of the script (probably the start) or some other kind of leak. I'll also give a progress report for Darky-san as well. Also might pump out some mini scripts to interest the voice acting portion. Any one else want to give some offers/requests? Also, please give some feedback on the ways of communication Darky has put up. We have been doing MSN messenger so far, as well as this thread, but here's some of the places Darky's looked into. The Colorless Chat (Relatively Simple, Requires Login Signup... I'm still figuring out Navigation...) Image Board 4 Free (Very much like 4Chan. I think this one's pretty promising) |
