Paper Zelda music and some doodles

 Paper Zelda-- Gerudo Valley
The music for Gerudo Valley's appearance in my still-yet-to-exist Paper Zelda fan game. Was made to be a bit more "western". It's low-quality and compressed BECAUSE. Sorry.

 -------------------------------------------------------

Paper Zelda-- Title Theme
The title theme for my Paper Zelda fan game. Once again, trying to come up with some sort of mix between Zelda and Paper Mario's musical styles. As with a lot of the music for this I've gone to the Thousand-Year Door for reference. What do you think, does it work well enough to get the job done?

Captain Falcon sketch

Pretty lame sketch of Captain Falcon. The muscles killed me and the proportions are off (although if he has a big head, I think he has a big head in the official artwork I based this on too).
I suck at thiiis.

Fi sketch

A fast doodle of Fi from Zelda: Skyward Sword.
I'm not really improving much on anything, but oh well. Just gotta keep doodling.

Made using: Photoshop

Samus Aran

Samus sketch 02

Lousy sketch of Samus Aran.
I'm currently in a huge rut with my drawings-- my cartoon stuff is all staying exactly the same and I'm not improving on it at all, and everything else like the above sketch is something I'm just not good at and not really able to improve in either.


This thing just looks like a huge scratchy mess to me. I'd be screwed if I actually tried making a neat, finished piece out of something like this.

Doodles and music

SBP Doodles 11

The top row I just did today, the bottom row is pretty old stuff I just haven't put up yet. Characters that aren't mine I should mention are Kyle Hyde from Hotel dusk in the top-right, and Holly's character Paint in the bottom-left.

Darkwing Duck Theme
My rendition of the Darkwing Duck theme song (which may be the coolest cartoon theme song ever).

Miscellaneous Doodles

Miscellaneous Game Doodles 04

More miscellaneous game character doodles. Here, clockwise from the top-left, we have the Protagonist from Persona 3 (twice), Ness from EarthBound, Sonic, Viewtiful Joe, and a caravan of characters from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (on GameCube).

Some fan music

Animal Crossing (GameCube) Title Screen
My recreation, by ear, of the title screen music from the GameCube version of Animal Crossing. I really love this song, and though I like Wild World's theme too, I think this one is much better. Did you know you can hear the full song if you open the lid of the GameCube right when the title screen appears?

MegaMan 10 Wily Stage Boss Fight RPG (unfinished)
I always thought this music from MegaMan 10 would go well in some kind of JRPG.

Dark World (Genesis/MegaDrive arrangement)
The Dark World from A Link to the Past, but with Genesis-style sounds. Probably isn't even remotely accurate, I just used a soundfont for the synths, so it's not actually playing on any of the proper hardware. But I LOVE the sound of those old-school Genesis games.

K.K. Slider-- My Place (guitar)
"My Place" from Animal Crossing on acoustic guitar (not a real one, soundfont guitars). I like how this song seemed optimistic and sad/reminiscent at the same time. Or maybe it's just me.

Splash Woman
I updated this one with newer soundfonts. Splash Woman's stage theme from MegaMan 9.

Littleroot Town (unfinished)
It's just updated with newer soundfonts. I didn't actually progress any on the song. It's Littleroot Town from Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald.

Whoops, forgot to put this here.


Exploring

I haven't drawn much lately and I need to.
I'm just in a slump as usual and I can't draw anything. So I drew this for no
real reason. And it was fun, sorta.

The textures here are overkill and didn't really use much thought
(just finding free textures and slapping them over there in Flash, with
the exception of the dirt spatter which was a grunge brush in Photoshop), but
I felt like doing something slightly different than usual.

It's not evident here but I also tried a slightly different process
this time which involved laying out the background colors first to get an idea
of how dark everything else should be (which, oddly, I don't do very much).
That and the fact that there are once again no outlines, so coloring was quite different
too (and in many cases I really fudged the "shadows" so certain things wouldn't
blend together, like in the hair).

Oh and I still can't color or light a scene to save my life.

I know the watermark sort of messes it up and makes it tricky with the textures and lighting, sorry.

Knight Man

Knight Man


Screwing around with gradients again using only Flash to color.
Knight Man from MegaMan 6 is my favorite robot master, design-wise, although I really don't do him justice. [link]
Shame he was from such a lousy game.

Listen to Me

Listen to Me


This demonstrates quite clearly that I have absolutely no knowledge of how lighting or colors work and the watermark doesn't make it any less confusing to look at, sorry about that.

I dunno the story behind this picture, feel free to make one up.

Skyward Sword Flash stuff

I was bored.

Skyward Sword with gradients


I love Flash so much that sometimes I draw pictures specifically to see how much I can do with it by only using Flash.

This time I drew Link and Zelda from the upcoming Skyward Sword (based more on the in-game visuals than the official art). After sketching in SketchBook Pro, the rest of this was done solely in Flash using gradients to color. It mostly ended up looking as stupid as it sounded.

I also drew a regular version, as well as some various experiments about how to color it.
