If you happen to visiting EGX this year in Birminghams NEC come by and give Odonata a go! :)

This will be the first time Odonata will be shown publicly and to be honest it's been a very nerve racking and tough experience.
Here's a preliminary for a poster I'm doing for Odonata's stand, it's going to be very large (A1 - 60cm x 84cm) never ever worked that large before, I'm used to working at web size! >_>

Sorry for the lack of updates (WOAH it's been a long time huh?), been busy pouring my very existence into our game <a href="http://odonatagame.blogspot.com">Odonata</a>, I'd have posted this piece earlier but I've been sitting on it for 5 months or so for the public release. :)Rob Larohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07288197936775438427noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413599313090683972.post-73650221963401631552013-03-25T15:28:00.001-07:002013-03-27T05:00:54.040-07:00Desperado_MistralDid a little rendition of Mistral from MGR:R, she had such great potential as a character, shame you only get to interact with her very briefly before you slice her up into cyborg sashimi.
<br />
<br />
Spent longer on this one, tried to tighten up a bit on the details too, I took a few liberties with her design in case you notice. :)

Used the pencil brush I made, looks pretty when used for an actual drawing, might be a bit on the grainy side though.

I've lost a fair bit of line control in the gap. Sadly I still hate scanning and all the mess, back to digital for me!

<br />
Screwed around in photoshop a little too, seeing if I can make a pencil imitation brush. I'd say it's not...awful, might look better if it was coloured in the same fashion as a sketch, perhaps!

Hey folks!<br />
<br />
It's been a pretty tough journey game making so far, <a href="http://annekatran.blogspot.com/">Ani</a> and I had originally began a hugely ambitious plan to make a big game about 4 and a half years ago, however at that point of conception, neither of us had the technical know-how or the experience to achieve such an ordeal.<br />
<br />
Ever since then we've been learning as much as possible to make us battle-ready for game makin'. We've gone through six game engines, four programming languages, massive amount of ideas and eye melting headaches.<br />
<br />
With all that learn-work under our belt, we made a scratch start on Odonata at the beginning of this year.<br />
<br />
So...at this stage, I feel that we're ready to make a start with posting our development progress, <b>we will be revealing the first preview of Odonata on March 31st!!!</b><br />
<br />
When I say "preview" I mean super-ultra-alpha-alpha, so adjust your expectations appropriately! Haha! We're only two months in this new definitive build of Odonata, just cleared past the early core function/conception stage. Right now, we're trying to get it all together to make it presentable and at least interesting to look at.<br />
<br />
At the moment ALL the assets are simple placeholders for now. Crude prototype assets are not pretty, but it's important that we focus on the core gameplay and mechanics. We are artists to the core after all, because of that, the pretty arty stuff is going to be the last thing we will be doing so that game-side doesn't suffer. At the end of this we certainly don't want a pretty game with no punch.<br />
<br />
Anyway, we'll be providing more info about what the game is actually about and the game-plan with the preview at the end of the month.<br />
<br />
I'll be seein' you in a month! Let's hope we can nail that deadline!
