Project updateXmas surprise
By moomoo
on December the 24th, 2009
First of all, hello. It's been a while since anyone posted, and about forever since I posted. To make up for this, I present the following:
The Pokedex has been updated with over 25 new Pokemon. Gamefreak2kx (also known as Dr Freak) was bugging me to get my material settings so I did, and he thought it would be a nice Christmas surprise for you all to get a big Dex update.
There are a few more models in the waiting list so check back tomorrow(or later today, depending on when you're reading this). Until then, enjoy such marvels as Troive's Blastoise and Tyler's Aerodactyl IN MIND-BLOWING 3D! (<-- text can't echo, but imagine that bit echoing)
Now I'm gonna catch some sleep. Let me conclude by saying I'll do my best to get a bit more active on the project again(for those who don't know, I moved out of my parents' house over a year ago and have been without an Internet connection since). And let's throw in a good old 'Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!' while I'm at it.
Project updateScallywags!

No, the project isn't dead. Consider this the update you've all been begging for! Just because you don't hear from us doesn't mean it's dead. Would you rather us work on the project or spend time telling you every detail?
On top of that (and I can't believe I'm repeating myself yet again), we all have LIVES. Rent to pay, jobs to go to, family members to love. Ekaiyo is NOT top priority at all times, unfortunately. So quit your whining, scallywags!
By the way, I graduated in May. Looking for a full-time position!
Project updateThe Odd Couple

Can you think of a more ridiculous couple than Paras and Mewtwo? I can't.
Gearing up for the end of school, soon to be graduating. Like I said, you'll see a lot more out of me in particular, and I know everyone else is ramping up their production as well. So keep your eyes peeled!
Enjoy!

See, I told you I would be back in action. Now this is really just to whet the appetite of our rabid followers (you know who you are).
I personally think this is a hideous pokemon. But this gives me an opportunity to talk a bit about design, and what I've learned in art school for the past 4 years. If you're interested in good design, I suggest you listen up!
Good character design is not about creating "pretty" characters, necessarily. This is one thing that I think a lot of designers get wrong... all of their characters are attractive! In the traditional sense, that is. The same thing happens on the other side of the coin. When someone is designing an ugly character, they will end up with an ugly design! These are not the same thing. Let me explain:
Every character should have appeal, whether it's an ugly character or a pretty one. For example, if you look at some of Miyazaki's character designs in his movies, particularly for the demons in Princess Mononoke, they are absolutely hideous. They are SUPPOSED to be grotesque, ugly, and disgusting. Yet they have a beautiful and attractive sense of design. You don't want your audience to be repulsed by your character, even if they are ugly. You want ugly characters to have appeal, but not physical attractiveness. Does that make sense?
Anyway, I think Fearow is a really ugly pokemon, but it definitely has a sense of appeal. Enjoy!

Ive just started working towards a deadline on a secret ekaiyo project and will therefore be less active on forum, z00t and irc.
