Seitenkan universe will not be lasting very long. In most routes. Don't worry about that.

Actually I was more impressed by your background in my initial reaction to those samples of yours.

Though my first request would be for a post-apocalyptic city in ruins as alluded to by Kaisos, and I wonder how difficult a request that one would be.

Jintor · 2009-05-07, 03:23

I have this horrific urge to draw. It's probably all this praise going to another artist. D:

Is it the next day in Canadia yet, Kaisos? I require material! Only you know what is going on with the project, I can't do anything original because I'm pretty much clueless here.

And Kyon calling Kyonko Nayuki is a-ok.

Very difficult unless I'm allowed to be sloppy like the forest I posted. Even so, it'll probably take a while.

Jintor · 2009-05-07, 03:24

I think we should concentrate on characters first.

You know what? I'm going to read through the flowchart. Maybe then I can finally find out what it is exactly that I am working on.

Someone could scour the nets for photos of Nishinomiya for the outdoors.

We'll need a official rendering of the indoor environments like the clubroom though. Others like classes or trains have a generic look that is easily duplicated.

And yeah, the mindfreak fantasy scenes need artists or good photoshoppers.

It's almost 1:30 AM here on the Pacific coast.

Just know that scenes of post-apocalypse Seitenkan universe have little to do with the main plot. It's kind of a side story thing.

Probably.

Draw me the 1-5 classroom from the angle Kyon would see it when sitting down, then. =P

Sigh. It's the next day, but "next day" as in "1:30 in the morning". Stupid goblin warren.

I think we should concentrate on the "novel" part of "visual novel" first. Which means that I have to WRITE. Awesome.

The outlines would be a better idea.

Especially OzTsuruyaland.

Jintor · 2009-05-07, 03:33

Well, I meant visually we should concentrate on our characters. I figure each of them has the few basic emotion-pictures like in most visual novels. Obviously we should also be writing, since that's our speciality...

How was your game, bro? Did you wipe your party? :3

Indeed, though I'm terrified my writing is going to look like shit, but then, I'm never satisfied with anything I write.

No, just, so many goblins. Christ. So many attack rolls.

I had them invade this goblin warren... it got ridiculous. Never doing that again.

It's impossible to challenge your PCs when one of them is basically Female Wolverine with a King of the Hill accent. Stupid Feral template.

Anyway, I'm going to bed so I can get up relatively early and write out Day 0. Fuck this might be shitty quality.

I'd prefer Japanese-style, personally.

You mean Deus Sex Machina?

Also yeah, there are some funny things that can be done during a sex scene. (That phrase didn't come out right, but I hope it gets the point across.)

No, actually.

Like. Sex directly causing consequences for characters. Or just changing how you perceive them.

Poor Kyon in the Esper route. At least he has practically every other route to be badass in.

Now, dammit, I need sleep...

School Days.

While Koizumi is out playing Ocelot, Kyon gets to be Makoto.

@Binjovi: You should probably post your work in the image thread as well, so that more can bask in your glory.

Don't worry, I'm here to polish the crap out of it until it sparkles.

Binjovi · 2009-05-07, 05:16

I've been tweaking the sketches some more. I think I've made some improvements. Below is a comparison shot (The right side is the original) 'cause most of the tweaks have been minor.

Spoiler for the image being larger this time.:

Solafighter · 2009-05-07, 05:21

Wow nice, they are pretty good. I like them.

Jintor · 2009-05-07, 05:34

Here's a classroom shot that looks like absolute crap.

I might just start sketching the characters, I'm way out of practice with Seitenkan...

Binjovi · 2009-05-07, 05:37

Totally works as a base, except that the angle might be a little high.

Jintor · 2009-05-07, 05:39

Yeah, I screwed up when I extended the windows.

And just for lulz, I'd like it if we called the two universes "Universe 1" and "Universe A". Because Side A and B implies one is superior...

(even if one *is* superior, I think it'd be a good reference.)
