There was this internet meme that was born on Reddit.com which I though was quite funny. Here’s a T-shirt design to the same.

Different Body Types for Creating Characters

Diablo — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 03:56:13 +0000

Illustrated below are a few sample body shapes I use for creating characters.

If you love designing characters and need a place to start, I’d recommend Cartooning; The head and figure – by Jack Hamm. The book has a relatively large collection of different part of the body.

Comic #4 Three Diggas and a Mallu “know the truth”

Diablo — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 08:35:00 +0000

Just realized that this release is the 1st anniversary. Excited!

Three Diggas and a Mallu is a series of comics based on my K-12 school friends who have been around since the last two decades. These jokes are very colloquial and are all inside jokes, so I don’t really expect anyone to understand them.

Everything, By Everyone

Diablo — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 03:32:08 +0000

Last August a few of us Newgrounds followers had caught up with Nathan, an indie film maker for a documentary film on Newgrounds and the Interbutt. It was an interesting interview in which Nathan asked us what got us into animation, the earliest memories of Newgrounds and where we thought this medium would be taking us.

Recently, Nate mailed saying that he’s uploading his documentary to Kickstarter, asking netizens of the Interbutt to help fund his movie. We spoke about other ways to get this message out there so that more people could support this project. My friend and I have been working on a concept to make this message go a bit more viral. We’re also on a tight deadline to get this completed before the Kickstarter deadline. (Project funding closes on September 1, 11:59 pm EDT)

The concept is quite simple: one plays as Nate, the Indie(ana) Jones who is being chased by this big boulder of time to get all the funding he needs for his project. He needs to collect every little gem he comes across and avoid pitfalls and dodge objects that come across his way.

After we worked out a list of art and animation assets to be made, I roughed out some concept art for the game play and dived right into the style that I wanted the game to look like. First targeting the character designs, turnarounds and run cycle.

Now Nate doesn’t look anything like the character and I felt that I really needed to tweak the art style or do a completely different approach to make the character look more like the reference. Deciding to go 8-bit style, I was able to get Indie to look exactly like Nate…
For the technically curious, Pixel Tools, v2.0 pixel plugin by the neuroscientist Patrick Mineault, is a boon to Flash artists/animators everywhere. I was able to work around the bug that kept crashing Flash.

This game style is a bit new to me as I haven’t worked much on this patience-draining-yet-worth-every-second art approach.

Will keep you posted on further updates.
