I believe I said this in another thread regarding Tabata's comments, but when it comes to people in this specific kind of field where theyre really passionate about what they do, they can push on through despite how stressful it might be. It might be a different job, but I know animators like Glen Keane who love what they do so much that they just cant really stop doing what he does(that being animation) because he loves to do it. If you want me to draw comparison to a game developer, look at Sakurai. That guy had some serious health issues when developing the latest Smash Bros, but what does he do when he finally finishes the game? He doesnt take a vacation, but has instead decided to work on one of his other projects. These guys clearly love what they do, and if they wanna keep going despite how stressful it may be, let them. Theyre clearly devoted to their work.

Praying that this is just a placeholder until we actually see some better artwork.

Well tech and fantasy isnt exactly new in the Zelda series, Skyward Sword tried exploring the concept here and there. But as far as the rest of that info goes it would be cool to see.

MY GOD WERE SO CLOSE!

Previously I posted an animation focused on the Mario Bros. Considering all the reference material I made in preparation for that animation, Id fugure I make a more dedicated place to post the art, just in case anyone wanted to reference my drawing if they wanna do fan art of Mario and Luigi, and for those who just like looking at pretty pictures. Anyways, now Im gonna focus on more original art during the summer. Hopefully do some animation studies on some of my favorite movies as well.

I recently submitted my animation final for my storyboard and fundamentals class. This is what I turned in. Drawing Mario and Loogy can be fun.

You sure the link isnt messed up? It should embed like so.

A new trailer for 2.8 at the very least. Its not that unreasonable of a request right? It is expected to come out sometime this year in Japan if I recall correctly so were gonna get information from it sooner or later. E3 would be a good time for them to show what they got.

ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS AND MORE WILL BE ANSWERED IN OVERWATCH'S NEW DLC PACK/COMIC! You see that?That kind of curiosity you have their is what Blizzard has in mind. With that kind of curiosity, they can sell you more products to help answer your questions and give them more money. But as far as it being "marketed as a story" goes, thats not what I got from what its marketing. Thats a fair point to make, but with multi-player games people are focused on how long they can play the game without getting bored of it. I mean I can play Smash 4 and Melee FOREVER because playing friends is just fun. If youd like more story thats fair but multi-player games are driven by good gameplay that doesnt get stale.

It doesnt need one? Games that are focused solely on multiplayer arent necessarily made with the mindset of people wanting to play the game on their own. From what Ive seen it isnt exactly selling itself as a game that has its own story campaign to play, so Im not exactly pissed about it not having a story. However,with all the characters that theyve put into it, along with the shorts that they keep pushing out for it, I wouldnt be surprised if later down the road Overwatch ended up doing what Team Fortress 2 did and start having its own dedicated comics and shorts. It seems like the game is the start of a bigger plan that Blizzard has in mind to make Overwatch this big new franchise. But you gotta have a good product to sell from the get go in order for that to happen, so for them to focus their priorities on making a good game first and focus on any story stuff later is honestly not a bad decision for Blizzard to make.

Oh nooooooooooooooooooo. Look at my pretty pictures now. Carpal Tunnel is sure to return now.

Its time. Im ready to slam, and also jam.

I agree with what you said except with these two points. When it comes to the whole Zelda thing in regards to it "not improving sales" we have been proven wrong. Twilight Princess was for sure a factor in transitioning people from the Gamecube to the Wii, especially when you notice that the Wii version sold more copies than its previous version. Looking at the other consoles currently as well like the PS4, them porting games over from the PS3 to their current console has only helped newcomers who never owned the previous console to get into the PS4, cause now that they get to play all these highly acclaimed games that they couldnt have played otherwise cause they didnt want to invest into a console that was near the end of its cycle. If anything(assuming the NX isnt backwards compatible, but even than my point still stands to an extent) it be a smart move for them to just port over games like Splatoon and Smash 4 over to the WiiU. If newcomers get the opportunity to play all these great games that they heard had high acclaim while being able to invest in a console thats for sure gonna have new games coming out for it, that would be a smart move on Nintendos part. So if anything, them porting one of their big games over to the NX is for sure gonna boost sales where it wouldnt otherwise. As far as that other point thing goes, Id agree with you if it wasnt for the fact that they havent even revealed what the product is yet. There is no way to market something that hasnt even been revealed yet.However, whenever they do reveal the damn thing, and if their reveal of it along with the marketing for it is weak, than we can criticize them for that, but until they show the damn thing I wouldnt call it "Poor Marketing."

College is killing me on the inside and the pain is never gonna stop. At least some students I know bring Melee to school so I distract myself from the pain. Anyways, I finished(not really) my animation midterm and turned that in, you can see it here if you like: With that, Ive had a little bit of free time to do some art. Come around next year(where I hopefully have taken some life drawing classes) I should be able to sell my art at cons with a very consistent set of drawing skills, in comparison to now where I still flop on my drawings more than I should. But yeah, hopefully I can do more art soon, cause now I need to finish my storyboard midterm.

I wouldnt get to excited about whatever they reveal tonight, this is an investors meeting so odds are Nintendo (if all the other previous investor meetings are anything to go by)arent gonna be as in depth explanations. I mean the last thing we got from their investor meetings was Miitomo and NX being in development. I dont expect them to go that in depth on anything they might reveal.

My biggest worry with the new PS4.5 deal was whether or not it would make the old PS4 obsolete or not, so its good to see that they plan to make this upgrade an optional one like the New 3DS and not something mandatory. So my plans to buy a regular PS4 down the line are still in tact.

Almost every waifu from the Ace Attorney series has been confirmed to appear in AA6(Except for Franziska, a damn shame)

Its possible that the reason why they havent put Gamecube games on the VC is cause of the gamepad. With the gamecube controller, the trigger buttons had a unique function as to where if you tapped them lightly or pushed hard, youd get a different reaction. Games like Super Mario Sunshine and Melee designed the games with that feature in mind(Fludd would put out more or less water depending on how you tapped the button/Melee had the whole light shield mechanic). But when you jump to the Gamecube to WiiU, that feature is gone with the gamepad(the triggers are automatic) With that in mind, games like Sunshine and Melee wouldnt work the same cause the gamepad got rid of this small feature that the Gamecube controllers had. So unless they decide to make Gamecube VC games exclusively playable with only the adapters they released for Smash WiiU, I honestly think we wont be getting Gamecube games anytime soon.

But you figured once one game failed they wouldnt repeat the same mistakes again, and its not like they didnt get the message, in a "Iwata Asks" the developers mentioned how people were really disapointed with Sticker Star, so they arent ignorant to the fact that people didnt like it. It baffles me as to why they would decide to try to shove a game similar to Sticker Star again.

Mark Crilley is your friend if you want to learn how to draw: Thats how I started and it did me some good.

Spring Break has started for me, so its given me an excuse to try to give myself carpel tunnel and do art.. On todays thread, I take a look at Code Lyoko's style, along with other drawings in the mix.

If they can do stuff like Attack on Titan marathons, than they can do the same for other long running shows, couldnt they?

Oh look, a collectors edition, hopefully they dont sell out soo-AND ITS GONE! (But seriously that stuff is gonna sell quick)
