Yet another board update


Here is the pantry area. There's nothing on the shelves, but I'll work on that in a minute. Just posting this before I get something for lunch.

Also, you guys need to post some stuff, lol.

Another board update

Well, here's the garden area mostly complete. I might add some more gardening tools or potted plants for clutter. That's all for now. Back to work.

Starting the board

Like the title says, I've started making the game board design. Here's some 72 DPI versions of what I'm at right now:

I've tried a few different methods and found that a more abstract system fits the mood of out game better. The board is pretty much barren, but that's being worked on of course. There will be a 1/2 inch border around the whole board in the end, and I plan on putting some type of key and labels for the rooms in that margin. The entire image is being made in Painter X, if you guys even care. Haha, whatever.

Nice to hear you're working with actual ink, Link. It'd be great to see what you're making. Of, one more thing. The name of the poster is now switched on at the bottom of every post, so no need to state your name anymore. Although you can if you feel like it, haha.

I'll work on more of the board today, maybe even finish most of it. Keep an eye out for more image posts. Also, feedback on anything is helpful. Painter is pretty forgiving with fixing things, so it's not a big deal to modify my stuff a bit. Also, if I can find my old PNG converter I'll post 150 or 300 DPI versions, because you can see the paint smudges and all that crap in those.

That's all for this update. I'm out.

Inking

I am still not that far into the art process. The one pen I was using took was too long to dry and also smeared a few times. It pissed me off! Now I have switched pens. This one will allow me to work faster because of the quick drying process, but it is made with a different type of ink so it is somewhat noticeable. Hopefully it is just me and you guys cant see the differences in the drawings. Then I am thinking, " It is all going to be scaned in so it will all show up as black". So really it wont matter. I will be posting some pictures tomorrow or at least try too. If not Jarrod, I will send them to your e-mail. I will also be able to work more on this project on Saturday and Sunday. I have to work it around my animation project, but it will get done! Only worked for about 2 hours tonight and now I am calling it a night. So ya Monday.
