Why are hands so impossible to draw...

because it creates a paradox

I'm starting to think my Story club is messing with me, I'm actually starting to think I'm not going to be picked anytime soon and I'm going to end up like that one guy who is still waiting after 18 months.
 
Why is it that the guys working on these Pokemon games can't stop the framerate slowdown in any scene that has anything going on in the background while battling? I can't even use the 3D without it dropping to 30.

XD didn't really have that much of a problem, even though it was on the gamecube. Though the models over all are less lively than Stadium's models anyway.

Yeah, I meant the ones being put out on the 3DS. ORAS is still suffering from XY's issues.

3DS hardware.

I guess. I feel like they would develop some way to work wtihin those constraints... Does that mean the New 3DS will run these things better?

They probably simply lazy to maximize the system and they realize that most people will be battling in the dull ass blue room in the battle arena with no option to edit it.

Capcom made Resident Evil Revelations at 30 with 3D tho.
Console optimization is complicated, if it comes down to hardware, and I easily believe it does, I appreciate that they prioritized getting the game looking nice in 2D over 3D.

If they patch in use of the better hardware on New 3DS, that'd be rad.

You're not wrong about Stadium being better in terms of animations.

Yeah I can't wait to get my hands on the New 3DS. Did they really say its gonna be called that in english tho? I haven't seen any Australian ads for it on GAF.

Yeah I'm a little salty.

With that said, while the models themselves look better the animations are limited. They no longer move naturally like animals, they are really stock and stiff compared to the fluid animations of old 3d games.
 
Oof Survivor Series was tough to get through. Main was good but bogged down by overbooking and wacky WWE logic.

I'm still watching, half an hour behind, yeah, fucking so blegh. Ambrose is gonna keep wrestling fucking Wyatt and that infuriates me to no end.

Weirdly the Tag championship match was my favorite of the night so far.

Not for sure, but I'd assume so. I think they sent notices to companies about needing to stock them next year.

Yup. Not sure if that's a hardware or development problem. Good idle animations would be great.
 
The only good thing to come out of this payperview was when Brie kissed AJ, but not because that closed mouth kiss was particularly interesting, but because directly afterwards they fed into my Brie X Nikki S&M ship.

I may or may not have drunkenly written a fanfic of that.

They would, compare Mewtwo and kangaskhan from Stadium to their X/Y models and it's night and day.

This might simply be because they have more animations for each pokemon, they have animations from neutral to damage and neutral to attack while X/Y they just jump to the animation without actually worrying about where the pokemon is at. It makes battles go faster. Though there is no excuse for the stiff idle animations.

The differences in animation between Stadium and X/Y is also because of the fact Stadium was made by EAD/HAL while X/Y is just Gamefreak.

Well, what did they expect me to do? They have twin sisters who hate each other and one becomes the personal assistant of the other for a month and has to do everything she says or she's fired. How am I not supposed to read into this?

True Hal has always been good with animations. Though honestly, I always felt like X/Y are actually super boring to look at in battle.

I know they have a lot more to worry about than just in battle stuff. But despite everything being in 3D it doesn't really feel all that better from Gen 5. I thought it would be closer to Stadium and stuff, but I was probably being silly.

They do need to remove the stupid platforms under each pokemon when they come out. At least outside of water battles. It looks really bad and disconnects to where you are battling.
 
Stop making me want to watch wrestling

Trust us, that's not a regular thing. You'll bleed out your eyes waiting for that to happen again.

Yeah, that shit never happens, and even when it just did it wasn't very good. It was essentially Brie pushing her face close to AJ's for a couple seconds.

And hey, that ending was pretty great. After being a Ziggler fan for my entire time watching wrestling it has finally payed off.
 
so i drew some stuff today
I designed a preppy girl character whos all popular and shit whos a bitch but becomes friends with the protagonist. And I drew a character line up for all the main characters ive designed .
from left to right is the protagonist, his love interest, his main rival, and the ice queen.

Do buy yourself a favor and get a scanner, even a cheap one makes things look so much better than a picture.

That being said, you are getting a hell of a lot better with it, compared to some of the earlier stuff you showed us.

Unlike me and my shit tier writing.
 
Totally random, but I decided to take a look at the Pixiv Top 500 based on male and female views.

Turns out the ladies got a thing for Joseph Oda...Psycho Break must be doing well in Japan.

Yeah I dunno why but my drawing was off today...I should stop taking like week long breaks in between drawing.

You should also use guide lines to start as the base rather than free hand. It'll be easier to stay consistent until you can get to a point where you don't need them.

first pic top most pose
I imagine thats what she sounds like

Ohohojousama is the best channel with the best videos. ;)

I've seen quite a few fan art pictures pop up on the boorus. I guess they really like him.

Yeah either that or a tablet pen...

That is the intention. Shes a major bitch with a heart of gold. the very first thing she tries to do is NTR the protagonist away from his love interest. This earns her a piledriver from the protag.

Aw dont say that. I havent read your stuff but im sure its good! Though Im not a big fan of reading books...
 
Man that had way more passion than that Korra and Asami gif

If they start doing a lesbianism angle I'd be super happy, but also out of a job.

Aaron you and I both know this is the quota for entry level consumers of porn and barely a drop in the bucket for any connoisseur.

Quota for wrestling, not anyone or anything else. Wrestling has something like this pop up once in a blue moon for random shock value and cheap titillation.

And that's your lesbianism quota for the next ten years.

0/10 was very unsatisfied due to the lack of kissing while wrustling.

There are more passionate kisses than that Korra and Asamai gif. No, I will not post it. It'll be too much for the thread to handle.

I didn't even noticed

I've linked it before, that's why i know :p
