Description
    The only good news that came out of E3 last week for me. One of my favorite games is finally returning. This painting gave me hell at times... but I'm happy with the results. Related work: Materials Photoshop 5.0 | Wacom Intuos 5

Thanks!

This one is pretty old now, though. I did a new one a couple months ago.

I really, really like it. Her expression is captivating, the wind in her hair is epic and I love how you've done the contrasts of the background.
Yah, so I just really like this painting.. And I'm also looking much forward to the second game, yey!

Oh I love her hair!

I really ought to try to play that again - I tried the demo but got horrendously stuck at one bit to the point that I couldn't actually finish it. XD I really liked the rest of it though so I might have to actually buy it now. XD

I take it you weren't all that impressed by E3 this year then? You're an Xbox gamer, right?

Yeeeeeeah, I can imagine. XD Still, at least they've backtracked on some of their frankly ridiculous policies, so you can still play pre-owned games and don't have to be online every day.

You're assuming I agree with the majority; the links were an indication that I do not, hence why I didn't want to bother getting into it in my previous journal (or in general).

Ahhh, fair enough!
I've always been in the Playstation camp as I've never had any other console so I'm never quite sure what to make of all this from an Xbox person's perspective.

hate to ask this but on photoshop on your tablet what are at least some of the brushes you use for hair and such? like how it fades and thins out at the end. my digital art always looks somewhat caroon-y because I cant have a realistic look with some of the brushes you use

Lady-Owl In reply to firstfallenangelever [2013-06-19 02:47:30 +0000 UTC]

I don't mind answering questions so it's ok, though I didn't use any special brushes, just the default round brush and painted that way.

Anyways, it's a very nice peice :3 Especially if you can draw a immediate recollection from someone who only had a passing interest in the original inspiration in the first place

o.o I recognise this. I saw Mirror's edge at E3 and was like "looks nifty"
But I wasn't prepared for the explosion of "OMGWTF Mirrors Edge 2? We love you Dice, Have all of our moneyz and our firstborn!"
Was mirrors edge one that good? o.O I've *never* heard of it.

Lady-Owl In reply to Lostkavi [2013-06-19 03:07:55 +0000 UTC]

Good is subjective.

The game is refreshing for many reasons, like not having anything like it so if you really enjoyed it, of course you'd want another one. Female protagonists with a different ethnic background aren't exactly the norm (how many boring white males with stubble do we have to play as?), and beautiful music and visuals.

The game was both loved and ignored for the above reasons. But to be more specific, I like parkour, speed, and jumping into crazy places/heights from a first person perspective (just look at how I play Halo: Falcon doesn't call me a jumping whore for no reason ). Faith is a likeable character, the music is magical, the look of the game is very pleasing to the eye (sharp rich colors and architecture), and the gameplay is fun and challenging (especially the time trials).

The reason everyone was surprised is because the game didn't do too well in sales so it was expected that we'd never get another one. I pretty much shed a tear of joy when the guy was revealed to be a tattoo artist... I knew it was Faith he was about to tattoo. It's the reason I even cared to watch EA's press conference live.

There is a demo on the Xbox if you wanna give it a try; it lets you play the tutorial and first level.

XD Sounds a bit like an action platformer in the first person. Not exactly common.
if it wasn't a runaway success on Xbox, that's probably why it didn't reach me, but it looks fairly interesting. I might go have a mess around with it if I can get the wireless internet to work again >.>

I wonder what the game will look like since I read it's will be some kind of reboot ( and not really the second part of the trilogy ). I will be the same story, totally different?

We will see anyway.

And yeah it's a good game ( not always easy for my stomach, but yeah good gameplay )

"Female protagonists with a different ethnic background aren't exactly the norm (how many boring white males with stubble do we have to play as?"

True, it's for that I always try to play female characters when I have the chance, for chance ( Mass Effect serie for example ) and no it's not for some perv' excuses hehe.
