my big blue sky project is an old school adventure game. i dont have any formal art education but im such a dilettante it probably wouldnt have done much good anyway. but im finding the thing thats hardest is actually writing dialogue i dont immediately hate.

I love em but cannot always give them the ritualistic care they require to live i always feel like i shouldnt give reccommendations because im not a real artist but i always used to carry a set of prismacolor fine line markers that were excellent for doing tiny highly detailed landscapes

I generally only enter one or two a year because it feels like lighting money on fire. you will have to pardon me b/c im not familiar with these kinds of things but what is this???

I know I can draw pretty good, but having the confidence to charge that way is different thing, and yeah, worrying about pricing yourself out a job is a nightmare. seeing as how i get a commission once every 3 months or so i'm thinking i'll be experienced enough to figure out what the gently caress im supposed to charge in about 30 years

Kanine posted:holy poo poo check this out, the dev that produced dead cells is run as a cooperative and they even identify as anarcho-syndicalist. this makes me extremely excited that owns and dead cells is probably one of the best games ever made (and it's not even done). as to advertising, i dont know, basically the only advertising i've ever done is post my stuff in the chat thread in cspam which since it is one of the few super active threads in these dying forums has gotten me a decent amount of attention and even a few commissions. so i guess on the internet as a relative unknown with no budget the best way is still to integrate yourself into a pretty vibrant community and hope your stuff gets attention there? when i post on twitter i rarely @ anyone or # anything with it but maybe i should. the problem is like theres a million people posting #pixel_art or whatever that are making 8 and 16-bit style pixel art rather than MSDOS adventure game backgrounds, so it rarely gets any attention (i can't get pixel dailies to pay attention to my posts so i've given up there).

i think about multimedia cdroms like, all the time. is that what you mean????? one of the projects i've been kicking around in my head for a very long time but have only made a few abortive attempts on is to create a series of fictional interpretive centers, like you see in national parks in something like unity or unreal engine. it's probably my strongest "game design" idea but unfortunately i get frustrated trying to do 3d modeling to the point where it's physically uncomfortable to continue working on it.

An info-kiosk sorta thing? they're most prevalent west of the rockies but they're usually fairly large museum type things plopped down in the middle of a national park and they have this unique weird mixture of national park scientific institutionalism and roadside tourist attraction atmosphere i'd like to capture here's a couple of examples from the pnw http://www.mountsthelens.com/visitorcenters.html https://www.historicoregoncity.org/

do you guys typically go through a final brightness/contrast/levels/curves/hues balancing pass when working digitally? i'll do this sometimes when i'm putting a lot of effort into a drawing. typically i'll make adjustments to individual layers that aren't quite looking right then a final pass on a flat layer
