TrevorOutlaw 299 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Man, you sure have been busy. I haven't visited this gallery in a while, and your works are top notch. Well done, and keep it up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joshua Lamusga 250 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 The deep lavender to purple sunset is a gorgeous hue. Just looking at it is a serene experience. Challenge: I challenge you to make a realistic scene with drab lighting. It won't have silhouettes or high contrasts, and can't have a strong color theme without breaking realism. It's hard for most people and I can't do it really, so I think as most of your artwork takes advantage of contrasts and color schemes, this may prove to help you develop your ability to portray realism. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixey 4,514 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Dusk Planning is another wonderful piece @BlastWave, and I agree the music is perfect ... I'd possibly have a Margarita in my hand as well. Great work one again 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Joshua! It sounds like a pretty hard challenge, I think I'll try doing it in 2018. No silhouettes or high contrasts will definitely be quite difficult. --- Here's one last piece for 2017!

BlastWave 203 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Hello everyone, Happy New Year! It's a new year, and so of course there will be new drawings. Here's the first piece of 2018, an animated one. (Animated, click to view) Alternate link if it doesn't load: https://blastwaves.deviantart.com/art/Full-Speed-Ahead-725342812 While this scene wasn't animated with Paint.NET, everything else was done with it. The tanks, shrubs, ground, clouds, background, dust clouds, and tank animation frames were all done by hand in PDN, and it was then put into Game Maker: Studio and animated with the editor.

Seerose 4,267 Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) @BlastWave! You have affected yourself again. How much frame does the animation have? Incidentally, excellent work. Thank you for sharing. Edited January 15, 2018 by Seerose 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lynxster4 3,009 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 That is just GREAT @BlastWave You are building quite an impressive portfolio! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joshua Lamusga 250 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) @BlastWave The sprite editor is nice; I used it for the small Halo gun drawings from 2009 in my gallery (back when I used GM for 6 years and knew everything about GML). Good times. Oh, and I think that animated scene is a perfect example of a good-looking scene with drab lighting and no gradient, bi, or tri-color scheme. Well done, you already beat the challenge.

Pixey 4,514 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Oh Boy - that animated clip is really F A N T A S T I C 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrevorOutlaw 299 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I am impressed. The change of the tank's track to simulate crossing the uneven terrain, the second tank in the background matching the foreground tank, and just the attention to detail. I'm impressed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beta0 85 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I feel like you're getting into 'more realistic' territory. I like that. And, now, a one-sentence horror story: 'I need to catch up with this forum.' D8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlastWave 203 Posted February 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Thank you everyone! @SeeroseThe animation has a total of 128 frames recorded at a speed of 30 FPS. @Joshua Lamusga I'm not sure if it fully qualifies, as the trees in the foreground are silhouettes, and technically the tank has some lighting highlights on its turret. I'll have to give it another shot, I think. --- It's been a bit of awhile, but I'm back! Here's a new scene for February. https://blastwaves.deviantart.com/art/Metropolis-730183068 5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlastWave 203 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Thank you, everyone! It's been awhile since I've posted here, but I'm still making scenes, just a bit slower. Here's one for the weekend, inspired by the movie Das Boot. https://blastwaves.deviantart.com/art/Quiet-Waters-735904170 Edited March 17, 2018 by BlastWave 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beta0 85 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 I like your recent piece. The color scheme and simplistic design makes me think of certain indie games, like Ori and the Blind Forest. Very beautiful. :] 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
