Heh, I know... I used to play Street Fighter at the Chinese donut shop across the street every morning before school back in the day. There was always a gaggle of us grouped around the thing, all of us with our respective quarters perched on that little lip on the bottom of the screen to let everyone know we were in line to play next... yes the good ol' days of. Back when we were all quick to have the girl do that upside down spin move on the off chance that we might get the privelige of seeing a bit of her underwear.
I don't suppose it would surprise anyone to know that I only play Xiayou on Tekken... and I'll kick anyone's ass if I ever run into you in San Diego!
I liked the buttermilk donuts myself, they were 75 cents, 25 cents more than the others but well worth it in taste in my opinion. Oddly, I was the only one who ever bought the buttermilk donut... hmm.

I dunno. I wish I was drunk too so that my nonsense made more sense.

I'm working on a little rum myself at the moment. Not enough to do anything special at the moment mind you, but if I may say so... what you just said makes perfect sense to me in beautiful sort of nonsense manner.

I still drink though.

I have the complete opposite to that, I hate using other characters for the reason that my version of them is hideous because I use a different style to them.
Though I do hate when people draw my characters because they don't exactly understand the purpose of the characters and they also try to make them 'better'.

That's so awesome though there are a few things on it that make it look like it's rendered but they aren't very noticeable. It does look pretty realistic though.

On another note I got called emo in visual arts because the freshies said I'm always drawing sad and depressing pictures, they pointed at a 'sad and depressing' picture I was doing which was bright, colourful and happy(well supposed to be). It's pretty retarded though but in the end my friends and I laughed at them.

Badass dude, badass. I'd make the rims a bit shinier, since thats what all the cool kids pay attention to nowadays. Maybe put a mickey mouse picture in the middle?

Man, that's totally badass. GZ orb.

Also, talking of originality, how would you guys feel about a game that's sort of like a 2D overhead Tomb Raider?

obviously you can't really know without knoing if it's any good or not graphically and script-wise, but meh

HOLY HAEMORRHAGING FUCK Daily 5th. I though I was gonna be awardless forever :D

looks nearly photorealistic. the bright blue floor makes it look fake, and the car looks kind of short.

but other than that, amazing model. looks excellent...i wish i could model stuff >_>

Orb, the car looks fucking amazing... great job on that. I wish i had half that skill. :D

On another note, here is my game for AG's halloween contest. :D

Well, I wanted that street racer look of the black rims (so they appear invisible when moving fast) with chrome outer circle, rather than the traditional full-chrome rims. Rofl great idea, that'd make it totally badass.

Point taken, the blue floor's kinda weird. The car isn't short though, I modeled it directly off of blueprints for the car... so I'm assuming the blueprints are correct lol.

Thanks!

Wow guys, thanks for all the comments! That's the most I've ever gotten on any one thing :D

you're fine, but when the piece of art is good, there's not really much to say except that it's good :P

if it was bad, i'm sure you would have filled up a bit more of your 6,500 character limit with critisizms.

Exceptional. Will say that it's missing wing mirrors though.
Better stuff than what I'm currently modelling at any rate. You should be proud

Heh, I'm not going to respond to all the new comments again, I'm way too tired from my all-nighter last night, but I was interested to see that you noticed that. I thought most people probably wouldn't notice it, and they're a pain in the ass to make (or I was fed up working on that model. TIME TO MOVE ON!). I almost didn't include the creases for where the doors are, but I decided I really had to because otherwise the side was too bare.

Fun Fact (though you probably already knew): I never bothered to model the interior. I've never modeled the interior of a car, and I hope never to have to... rofl.

THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS GUYS! I appreciate the comments so much!

I'm trying to model beat-up and off-road versions of cars, trucks and bikes for Convoy in Max (the intention is to make the backdrops and vehicles 3D, and the characters 2D, so I'll end up with a TitanAE feel), so I'm starting to nitpick vehicles more. The GTO's a good few hundred miles apart from the Mack Truck with a larger than average engine or the Goldwing Trike but I can still appreciate and crit GT class cars...

If you know anywhere I can find decent places to get started modelling vehicles, let me know. The process isn't going to well for me jumping from Characters to Vehicles. Blueprints would be nice as well.

On the front of the car the hood looks like its uber thin, as in unnaturally.

I have a questions not about cars

nice car btw

Has anyone here been to any animation festivals? I only ask befcause here in Wolverhampton we are half way through the FLIP animation festival. I am volunteering so I'm doing all behind the scenes stuff. Today I met the guy that did all Weebl and Bob and we had speakers that do a load of UK adverts and other industry people.
I also helped out yesterday at a flash workshop for kids for 5 hours. It was awesome because the guy teaching them knew less about flash than me and the kids were sucky so I was basically runnign around showing them how to use it. Most of them had never used it before and were like 11 so was difficult to get them to understand. The class leader had prepared loads of halloween pictures for them to mess about with and by the end of the class they had actually started to produce some alright stuff. In my time between running to and fro I made this little halloween short which amused me. Ill post it here when I get the CD of it. I didnt have my pendrive with me so theyre gonna send it. Anyways, I gotta sleep soon as I have to be there at 9.30 tomorrow to get started again.
It's only a 2 Day festival really but they've had kids workshops all this week.
Today was realyl great though. Lots of animations, free drinks later on, some free DVDs. All good stuff.
Any comments or comparable experiences?

If there's ever an animation festival or anything in the area I'm so there, sounds like a lot of fun. Too bad nothing ever freaking happens here, I hate Virginia. Its so...average.
