Had a shave so I look a babyface.

please tell me those are placeholder graphics for the game. Looks like Sonic Heroes 2.

Absolutely not, but it's been pointed out quite a few times!

People will figure it out, I wouldn't worry

Soundtrack is finished guyz.

Myriad I like it. But why is Sonic's lowest spike to miss shapen?

For nitty gritty info on what's happening, Funk Fiction and I have been working closely on CCZ2 with lots of things being sent back and forth. Timezone differences between us haven't really helped but we're getting there. I'm sending my guitar tracks to him tomorrow morning and after that we're on the home straight.

If there's anything else I forgot while looking through Dropbox, I'll post it.
lol I did the checkpoint posts.

I liked AoStH best because it was just goofy, never got too serious and was pretty fun to watch. Also, Long John Baldry.
I watched SatAM whenever it was on TV but it always seemed too serious and I couldn't get into it. Sonic is meant to be bright and colourful, not set after the Skynet disaster.

nope, I'm a painter and my art style tends to be quite loose and colourful (think Paul Cezanne/Lucien Freud) but I have a basic understanding of the human form by referencing photos and live models.
I never said "everything is wrong", I said you could improve on just about everything, which I still stand by.
Style really doesn't come into it at this point, your artwork suggests that you have a limited understanding of anatomy. I could tell that no matter what art style you have; and by using "style" as an excuse to not improve your understanding of form, you're doing yourself a disservice.
At this early stage the hair DOES need to be firmly rooted in reality. You're drawing humans so their hair should grow like a human's hair.
Your biggest problem is you THINK you know what a human looks like but you're not LOOKING and SEEING the human form.
Final protip: DO NOT REFERENCE ANIME/MANGA/COMICS/OTHER NON-SCIENTIFIC DRAWINGS if you want to improve.

Mm. Fine, I'll read the wiki, and check out the tumblr when I get home. Thank you.
Now listen, the reason I couldn't take your word for anything was because you failed spectacularly and completely at telling me what I did right. (I hate to sound haughty, but there has to be something that, at the very least, I didn't fail at.) Usually, when critiquing art, one tells another what they succeeded at, what the viewer liked about the piece, and then they move on to what may need improvement.
As a "qualified artist," you really should know the "basic principles" of critiquing etiquette.
As a qualified artist, i know how to take criticism and learn to accept and overcome my weaknesses without whining because someone didn't compliment my work.
As for my etiquette, at no point did I insult your art. I told you what was off/wrong with your artwork, why it was wrong and how you could improve. I was somewhat annoyed because your original post did a bit of a no-no in the art world by alienating your audience (i.e. "I know japanese so I know what this means and you don't and I won't tell you"). I've hung around with professional artists, artist friends and on art forums in the past and I know all about "etiquette".
Bad "etiquette" is acting like a total ballsack by completely ignoring valid criticism from someone who has a pretty good idea what they're talking about; just because they didn't compliment your work.
-
Really now? Basic principles? I'll admit there are some things that could stand improvement, and I'm willing to do that, but come now..
You could improve on just about everything, hence why I tried to give to constructive criticism which you didn't bother taking on board.
-
Well you could learn the basic principles of figure drawing.
-
Intentional for the 2D art. The models will probably be more realistic.
You asked for constructive criticism dude. I'm telling you that the proportions on your artwork are wrong.
And bear in mind that in order to make 3D models you're gonna need some artwork references and goofy references = goofy models.
I'm telling you this as a qualified artist.

A developer gag? Between who?
Also, why not save yourself a ballache and just develop for PC?
Programming-wise, considering you're just learning, I think you're trying to run before you can crawl. I think you're attempting something way too ambitious.
Your proportions in the artwork are wayyy off, noses are too high, the muscles look like they're made out of balloons, the hairstyles aren't realistic and would be impossible to achieve irl and the whole thing looks way too animé-ish. You need to reference actual human beings and not just other manga/animé artwork if you're wanting to improve. I'd give you some reference sites but I'm on my phone ATM. Google should bring some stuff up though.

OK time out for everyone!
And if any of you think that you're getting chocolate ice cream after the way you have misbehaved then you're badly mistaken, busters!

Falk, DJMax-E, don't know how often you read this thread, but l just want to say, ignore that Marcos Garcia 58 guy on soundcloud, he really is just being majorly butthurt and a douche about not getting the exact type of lava stage music that HE would want, going to the point of saying "Lake feperd is a bully" and other things he says/implies is completely insane.
Don't take any of his criticism about those tracks seriously or let him make you feel bad and demotivate you, you made a deliberate choice to create a certain mood with those tracks and not do the typical aggressiveness of a lava stage and I think it sounds fantastic. We already have lava reef's tracks we don't need the same style again.
what can you say, the guy is srs when it comes to criticising sonic music.

It's weird seeing all that green. I'm glad that, act-wise, there's no more white.

ok so there's a really serious issue going on here.

someone keeps updating this page fairly regularly HOWEVER they STILL haven't got mine and Maxie's names right!!!
This is UNACCEPTABLE.

Hey don't get me wrong. I don't dislike smokey bear. Your points are very reasonable and I understand. It indeed feels out of place compared to the other (acts and) zones where each track takes elements from the others. I get that. But going through act 2 with mr lange's arrangement just added to the act for me. This is just a personal thing. I am really sorry if my post/message came through the wrong way
@Mr lange, I know they are part of the special acts now. I edited the first post on this page clarifying about the maingame. Well if what you said was directed to me. Kudos to you all for doing a great job with the OST. It's unbelievably fantastic
No i get what you meant and I didn't mean it as a retaliation. It's just that I've read a few posts on various forums complaining that Lava Powerhouse isn't being used for FFZ2 anymore, but the posts don't consider any of the points I just brought up.

I listen to just about everything. I come from a rock background; mostly 90s grunge/metal like Alice in Chains, Tool and Nirvana. Over the last 5 or 6 years I've opened myself up to all sorts of stuff like Dr. Dre, Hall & Oates, Michael Jackson, Hiromi Uehara, Chick Corea and more.
In the past couple of months I've MASSIVELY gotten into Earth Wind and Fire. As a guitarist I totally love Al McKay and Roland Bautista's playing style. I mean, just listen to this!
