It's no wonder they do when the Vita is outselling the PS4 in some periods. Japan still likes a good home console, but they love their portables. It's more practical for one thing, but they also like the statement they make--that's why they're produced in so many different colors and themes--and...

I'm a bit late to this party, but here's my thoughts on the matter: To be honest, I've been leaning away from my PS4 and to my PC for a while now. This console generation has been weird. We've had more new games come out that would run just fine on old consoles than games that really take...

Hello, and welcome! A friend of ZaXo's is a friend of ours ;)

Happy belated birthday, Shu! Hope it was a great one (y)

Well, I suppose it's about time for another update! As teased before, lately work has been all in Adobe After Effects as opposed to Manga Studio, getting the characters' facial animations ready for exporting into a visual novel. Fun fact: visual novel characters are drawn in two parts: a body...

Solid cast IMO. I was leaning towards playing this one in Japanese until now, but all the actors seem really excited about their roles and the voices are well-matched to the characters on the whole. That to me suggests that this will not only be a great storytelling experience, but worth playing...

At long last, they're finally here: Miki and Mei Tokimiya are now complete! :cheer: When I first started this project I had no idea it would take this long to finish, but I have no regrets whatsoever. This has been a tremendous learning experience in a field that I will be spending much more...

Agreed with the others, don't apologize for this thread at all. It's excruciatingly lonely to hit something as devastating as this and not have anyone to really turn to. I'm glad you felt you could bring it to us, in fact. There's not much we can say or do to make anything better, but we're...

Pretty much agreed with OP here, except this part: That seems like a pretty pessimistic conclusion to make IMO. I don't see any reason why things can't get better among the fan base, but here's the problem: the fan base is waiting for SE to pull a miracle to set not just Final Fantasy as a...

Well this is hardly complete, but it's a big enough step forward that I feel it's worth posting: Miki now has rough shading and highlighting as well as a few gradients to smooth out the colors and give life to the eyes. At a distance it somewhat resembles a finished product at this point, but...

shivas Cel shading :) And sure, I don't mind if you practice coloring on my characters. I'd love to see the results, in fact! Only thing I'd ask is not to post your work on sites like DA or Imgur, etc. until I've published the new version of my VN engine which will use these characters in the...

Aaaaaaand color! At last everyone can see what I was going for with the outfits and why they didn't make sense with lines alone! Of course there's still a bit of color work to be done since the dark sections will need their lines adjusted to a lighter color to compensate, but on the whole I...

Indeed, let's stay on-topic, folks. Personal insults are a no-no around here. Consider this a warning: tone it down. This thread isn't an outlet to air your grievances with other members' opinions--however how strong they may be. It also isn't a discussion of FFXIII itself or whether it was a...

Oh geez Balloonshop. So many memories of watching this channel while having sleepovers with friends when we made our own stupid videos. Sadly ours were not as legendary. "I ATE MY OWN SNACK-PACK" is a quote that still gets passed around to this day :lew:

Renamed this thread to indicate its current status as a rumor. It's not unsubstantiated but let's not go stating something unconfirmed as fact. In any case we'll find out soon--supposedly tomorrow is the date for a formal announcement if there is to be one.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely look into that. As a matter of fact I had debated about the line thickness but I didn't want to overdo it. Still, since these are vectors, modifying the thickness of the lines is really easy. Manga Studio FTW!

Whew, well this took longer than expected. I think perhaps I ought to revisit my inking technique, because last time I inked a character it only took me one day, not four! Oh well. At any rate (slow, in this case), here they are: At long last, I'm done messing with lines! There's still some...

Whew, now I'll be able to sleep tonight :lew: All good, thanks for the heads-up :)

Thanks for the feedback guys, the arm is staying as-is then :) One word: references. References everywhere :P

Well, today went better/faster than expected! I do believe Mei is basically finalized: My only real concern is the size of the left arm. Technically it is proportionate to the right arm (I measured), but it feels just a bit small IMO. Rules and measurements are great and all, but at the end...
