The First Sneak Peek Into Major Masher

Major MasherHere is , one of the concept arts for the Browser based Flash game I am currently involved in. Its going to be a really interesting game with a sci-fi setting. It's production name is , Major Masher , so subject to change. It's going to be a blend of strategy and run 'n gun. Really interesting working in it. Hopefully, the game production should get over, before or around the mid of May(this month) and should be released around the mid of June. Will be posting further updates on the game, as it progresses,..:D,..

Birdie Paratopulus

Parrot drawn in flashA Vector bird that i drew in Flash some time back. The great thing about vector art is their scalability you draw something in vector and scale em big or scale em down the quality is perfectly retained. The size of the image is also reasonably small as being vector, their a just a bunch of code for the computer. For instance if your drawing a straight line in vector(in Flash or any other vector based environment) what what your really saying is this

lineto(100,100,300,300)

for instance you drew a line from (100,100) to (300,300).

Yes so Vector is great. But personally I prefer Raster art. For instance the dove i drew in the previous post is a Raster image done in Photoshop. Its there, you can get all the shadows and blending effects properly. Yes its true that we can like, do all the effects in vector art also through Cell Shading. But personally, its a far less painful task doing it in Raster(Photoshop or any similar raster enviroment). In order to deal with the scalability issue here's a tip. While like, drawing the art itself, draw it in a much higher resolution than required,..:),. and it also looks good when you draw it big and reduce the size.

OKAY,....

So back to our Birdie Paratopulus,.....
This Bird has got much knowledge in it,... yes it really has.If you give it a chance it can make you think about what you are doing with your life,....

What,.. don't believe me, hmm,..

here, you yourself see the Parrot in action

These Sites Are Good ! ---for Concept Art.

There are a lot of sites and blogs online where you can get concepts sketches. But, i found the following three to be really good,


Sons Of The Storm

Its a site run by a bunch of artist from Blizzard Entertainment. It has got nice concept sketches, mostly the ones that they have used in their games. If your looking for nice Character sketches and Enviroments or your in search for awesome Wallpapers this is the place to go.


i draw girls

My i - ball Pen Tablet

i-ball pen tabletRecently bought an i-ball pen tablet 8060U. Actually went to Ritchie Street one evening in pursuit of buying a Wacom pen tablet, but because of its price most of the shops there didn't have the Wacom tablet, they said that it wasn't fast moving because of its high price compared to the Indian model i-ball.

So explored Ritchie street the entire evening checking out a lot of shops. In my opinion the following are some descent shops that are there,

  • Sethia Computers
http://www.sethiainfotech.com/
  • Delta Peripherals
http://www.deltapage.com/

  • Oasis
  • and Globe
I got the i-ball pen tablet from delta peripherals. They also had Wacom pen tablets, a 6 X 4 Wacom Bamboo tablet costs around Rs.5500, whereas a 8 X 6 i-ball tablet's cost was Rs. 3370 (actually they said 3400, we negotiated and got the discount :) . So went for the i-ball tablet.

Being a complete fresher to using pen tablets, my rating for the i-ball pen tablet would be 3/5 .
It gives really good control, and its nice. But, at times the the tablet's surface is a bit rough, but on the whole i would say it is a good one, for a starter.

And yeah they give you a cordless mouse also free with the tablet. It works on AAA battery just like for the pen and it could be used only over the tablet. Well, Personally I am not comfortable with using this mouse , the reason, well I don't want to make the tablets surface all scratchy.

A Dream Beyond Borders

Guy Watching Earth From Moon
The poorest man in the world, is not the one who does not have any money but actually, the poorest man is the one who does not have any dreams.

Dreams don't have any borders. They might even be, most of the time impossible in the natural. But that's what dreams are all about bringing the unnatural into the natural.

Lets dream and lets dream, without borders.

Mary Has a Little Robot

Girl With Robot in Space Ship
This is a Web based flash game that is under production. The plot of the game is going to be as follows.

Once upon a time, Mary had a little lamb , it followed her wherever she went. In fact she even took him to her school. As days past by , the bond between Mary and the Lamb grew strong. After graduating from school Mary wanted to travel and explore new planets in the Milky way.

She got herself a nice space ship and was getting ready to launch herself to space. But, the thing was, she got herself a little robot also along with the space ship. The robot started to be more attached to her than the lamb. Also Mary thought that her lamb wont be comfortable in space with her and slowly started to avoid the Lamb.

Then one day suddenly Mary bid farewell to the lamb and launched herself to space along with the little robot. The lamb's heart was broken :( .!!!

The thing which no one knew was that the lamb actually was the crown prince in his planet(yes the lamb is an alien) . So the lamb wanted to have revenge on Mary for dumping him for a robot. So the lamb went back to his mother planet , babaaars with his Sheep Ship to get reinforcement.

With his fleet it goes and rounds up Mary's ship and kidnaps her to one of his Sheep Stations in space which is on the other side of the universe.

Now it is up to you the Robot to rescue Mary back from the clutches of the evil little lamb,....!!!
