Art Class / Re: Lesson 4: Using a Reference

« on: February 04, 2011, 07:44:29 pm »

Heh, this was a pain for pen and paper. Photo of a sketch is meh, as I tried to draw it very lightly as we'll have to finish up those sketches later. Some lines are barely visible if at all...
Anatomy of a crocodile is a bit boring, but drawing their heads is fun  Hopefully we can start working on details and finish the sketch?

Malduk: Excellent sketches. I'd strongly recommend you (and anyone else) to keep practising, even without assignments. As you can see; you only get better!

Thanks vrt. I've been drawing a lot lately, and yeah, ever since I started paying more notice to anatomy and proportions, I'm much happier with the results.
Btw, should I post more sketches of this creature or wait?

On the side note, you recommended me some book on chat some time ago. Was it Loomis? I got that one, and its a bit information overload at the moment, but terrific stuff in there.

Public call for lava golem. I already send you a PM. I'm limited in time lately, we should arrange a time as I cannot spend time on chat waiting for random encounter.

Trial of Death / Re: 3rd Trials - Phase 1 - Proving of Worthiness

I hope you can at least make it back for war, or land a contract in the least If your still around for the next trials I wish you luck my friend.

I wont disappear. I'll just have (very) limited online time while traveling around.

You fancy huh?

Well, of course 

Anyway, good luck guys. I was hoping to get a good challenge here, so if I cant participate, have some epic battles, so I can at least read about it!

I'm sorry to say, but I'll have to withdraw from Trials. I'll have to travel a lot for the next few weeks, and I doubt I'll have enough spare time to devote to trials. My girlfriend is a violin player, and she has series of concerts in a region and I finally decided to tag along, and maybe seal a business deal or two on those fancy dinners after concerts. 
I will carry a laptop with me, and follow up whats going on here when I get connection, so good luck to all participants!

Been having fun practicing drawing anatomy without looking at the model, and figured might as well post it.

Master is not expected to comment on card ideas. Master is not expected to have an account that has enough upgraded cards to make a deck that can fight HBs. Master is not expected to join WoE or know anything about it, war bonus is not fair, voting is just a popularity contest. I heard all of those so far, on forum or chat. Not that I strictly disagree with any separate point, but what are people expecting from Trials? Just a regular tournament with 4-5 participants, where winner gets to sit back and look pretty? Hell, lets turn it to be completely unupped, and remove post count / score limits for entering, because everything has to cater perfect beginners and lazy players. We dont want to discriminate them, right?
I may not get many votes for saying this, but if anyone finds ANY of 3 options in any way hard, maybe he/she shouldnt have applied for this in the first place.

I'm glad you didnt perceive my comments in a negative way, and that it gave you some new ideas for the tool (which look good!).
Good luck with it!

Question:
How could you click FG instead of HB?
It would be pretty hard to accidentally click quests and then accidentally challenge a FG

Aside from that, Funky decks mang! 

I sometimes click on Quests and then FG's by instinct, without thinking. That's what you get after doing more than 2000 FG games.

Yeah, what xdude said. Its more of a reflex move than an actual misclick.
