No one told her it would be like this. Painful, messy and exhausting. Hurts at first, when the tip plunges in. Feels cold. She screams. It drives in deeper. She resists, draws back, but sensation floods her nerves and she can not control herself. She loosens. The initial pain fades for a moment, she looks into his steel guise and cannot help but think, "this is, in a twisted way, romantic." She barely notices the warm, wet blood splashing forth from her. This is the first time she has experienced this act. To be in this moment of ecstasy on the boundary of life and death forever; to her, it would be heaven. Then the angel-masked warrior withdraws the spear from her abdomen and cleans it with a rag. His is the mask of a high-ranking officer, a man who has subjugated many small nations like hers. The beautiful and stoic metal mask that covers his face is spotted with blood. The ground beneath her is dirt hardened by the tens of thousands of feet that marched, charged and eventually fled on its surface. The early morning sun stabs at her squinting eyes as if to mock her. The overpowering odor of her blood forces its way into her nostrils. It is so cold that she can not move her fingers. And a satisfied voice breaks the silence. "Finally, she falls." The voice of a foreign general ordered to conquer her lands. An angel. A tool of a distant enemy. The man who drives a spear through the belly of her country, and through her body. She will not forget this man. Since she is about to die, dignity is of no importance. She has nothing left to lose. She pleads, "No, wait, please..." Her executioner and his men laugh at her pathetic plea. They begin to walk away. She will not accept this fate. She is young and is not ready to die. She tries to stand, but her legs are stone. Not ever her toes obey. All she can do is speak. She tries again and addresses her killer, "I'm begging you, please, don't end me like this." Message too long. Click here to view the full text.
Pretty interesting. The writing style is pretty unusual and the characters seem interesting. Angel-masked warrior. I've never heard of that phrase before, but it makes me wonder.
Strange in a good way? Thank you for reading. I've been spending a lot of time in the real world lately, doing the occasional odd job, volunteering at a homeless shelter, reading about Viking history so I haven't had much energy for writing. I appreciate you looking over this little snippet.
I know it's a bit late and I don't really have anything constructive to add, but I'd just like to say that I found this piece riveting. Would definitely read more.
Not sure if I should have posted this in /mt/, Anyway, can anyone provide me with names or links of good books on electric guitars. I spent my last money on one and now I want to know everything about it. From actually playing it to technical.
Your homework assignment today class is to create modern Pictograms. Using simple shapes, Pictograms can depict practically any idea. Remember, to much detail and it just becomes a picture, and using words defeats the purpose. Examples can be seen everywhere, from the symbol often found on power buttons, to what is found on most road signs. The sky is the limit.

Monsters can't harm you if there's a force field around your bed :3
>>1622 fukkin lol
Anyone here makes vector art? I am learning to making vector art from anime related characters. This is my 4th vector I've ever made and I think it is decent for beginner. I think I still dont fully understand how programm works and for some reason some parts pixelate. Tips? Comments? Everything is appreciated. Post your own works.
>>1630 I don't get what you're asking. Do you just want to know how to draw?
>>1633 Yup, but I want to start straight away with vector graphics. I just want to know if there's some good material for that specific purpose.
>>1638 If you can't draw at all there's no way you can draw vector images. Anyone can trace someone else's work, but if you want to make original pieces, pick up a pencil.
>>1639 I'm going to disagree with this. I haven't done much vectoring but its very different from drawing. so don't be discouraged, try your hand at an original vector creation!
Hello, I'm working on a few projects but I would like to get in some practice in between. I would like to draw for you. I will try to do anything you ask. Any requests? File is from a VN I am working on.
draw a jolteon!!

>>1670 Nice
>>1670 Thank you!
So I was surfing the web like usual and I came across an interesting article about 'Pixel Art'. http://www.dinofarmgames.com/?p=349 So now I was wondering if anyone here wanted to share any Sprites they were working on or offer any advice or knowledge on how to do it. Or just share some awesome Sprites you like. I'm just curious is all. Image chosen at random.
>>1649 Ah, I tried that out and made Taokaka. Not the best, but it turned out to be rather decent, even if I couldn't get the mouth to show up all that well and decided not to do it.
Here's an interesting post. Ignore that it's from reddit, frontpage stuff sucks there but dig deeper and you can find useful stuff like this: http://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/mj24i/rgamedev_pixelart_lesson_1_basics_and_ui/
I don't do pixel art because I suck at art in general. BUT I do actually keep a folder full of pixel art. I collect it like I do anime art.
>>1721 maybe you could do a dump in /pic someday
pic is unrelated. I'm starting a Light Novel and I'm looking for someone to draw the front cover once I get the first few chapters out. I've got the basic premise done and I figure that there has to be a artist who would love to do some OC on here. I'm on irc all the time so if you are interested, talk to me up there. I'll go ahead and post the basic outline as well: Setting: Lagash in Ancient Sumeria, 2500BCE. 4 priestesses in training in ancient Sumeria are working on their first ritual when things go better than they anticipated. They were trying to summon a fertility spirit but got a Djinn instead. The Djinn gives each of them powers to match their desires and strengths but informs them they are now the spiritual protectors of Sumeria. The Djinn then vanishes and things evolve from there.
Djinn are from Arabic Mythology pal... not sure what they have to do with Sumerian Mythology.
>>1546 I'm currently using it as an interchangeable word while in the planning stages. I haven't decided what type of spirit and djinn encompasses one very specific type. I have already decided to change it and the creature that they will meet will probably be a manticore.Post edited on 26th Sep 2011, 7:58am
I'm in a bit of a mental bind guys. I'm trying to get into drawing again, and there are certain styles that I have always loved and would like to emulate. It's a very fleeting charm that seems to seep from late 90's animation. Not exactly something you'd see in 80's animation and art, but not what we see today either. I'm even having trouble trying to find images of what I'm thinking. This makes it very difficult to go out and find something to practice drawing so I can learn. Anyone else ever go through something like this? This image of Rider sort of has that "feel" so to speak, but not exactly. Gonna keep on looking through series I've watched/read to find more examples in hopes you guys can provide me some insight on this as well.Post edited on 17th Sep 2011, 1:39pm
not gonna get any responses if it doesn't show up on the front page.
I have never had anything like that.
>>1509 you responded
Guys I took a photo of myself and then painted myself as a girl over it. Clear smooth skin, round breasts, a petite body, nice lingerine, wide hips and then I fapped hard. Not posting it because 3DPD, but you should know that you can try it.
Sounds interesting. I would maybe do it and share it, spoilered for 3D; but what concerns me the most is obviously the possible compromising of anonimity... I mean: unless mad photoshop skills displayed, I'd really prefer to rest as a faceless silent voice within the others.
Please don't post pictures of yourselves
"Welcome Cell-61. I will keep this report short. We received a request from Neona recently. They found an unidentified object and it was deciden the Inquisition shall handle it. Since you cell is currently the closest to Neona, it shall be your task. Suffice it to say, Neona is located on Ourea II, a former mining colony. It was fairly wealthy in its early days. I arranged a deal with a local merchant, named Victor Stein, who will let you board one of his trading ships to transport you to Port Sigma. One of Studium's guardsmen, who secured the object, will pick you up there to guide you from then on. Don't be late." We're gonna try a Dark Heresy test run on the 4th September at 20:00 GMT. If we get enough players on that day, we'll get right into a campaign, if not we'll do some preparation for a campaign. What do you need? - Core Book: http://www.mediafire.com/?mtwywz3mxlw - Must read: Chapters 1, 2 and 7. - Useful: Chapters 3, 4 and 6. - Make a character. - IRC: irc.rizon.net#tohno-chan, we'll move to another channel for the game once it starts. This isn't gonna be hard RP or anything. Just a simple campaign as starter. You don't need a magnificent background story and a lot of experience for your character, but you need to be able to learn the rules quickly. If you need any help making a character or anything, Tsadiq is around at european times and a certain Brohno around at american times. Message too long. Click here to view the full text.
Here's the whole OP again, in greater detail, plus house rules: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jSu7AV9DP2bKAEv2gQxVwOv8XgKuonep_dd26M-7JPY/edit?hl=en_US&pli=1
Next time: 11th September, 19:00 GMT (should be final). 4 players so far.Post edited on 6th Sep 2011, 1:33pm
I'm interested and I have all the books that are currently in print for Dark Heresy so finally having a use for them will be awesome. I'll be on IRC, using the same name I have up here, so if you have spots available let me know. thanks.
Draw something/someone using this template.
>>1448 Nice.
>>1488 Haha, that's awesome.
Meh, it's okay I guess.
