Those look great! Smooth animation too, I wouldn't bat an eye if that was in an informational ad or online instruction manual!

Thanks. Unfortunately, the render doesn't show much of the details. I tried tinkering with the lighting a bit, but I don't have much experience with setting up a Blender scene for a render.

Here's a sloppy collage that hopefully shows off the detail a bit more. I also photobashed actual cartridge pictures onto the cartridges.

Anyways, here's an untextured magical girl's sword. I found some pixel art in that style and felt like recreating it.

It'd be less than half the verts without those ribbons.

I've been working on adapting The Shadow Prince, a Nintendo Adventure gamebook, as a Twine story. It's nowhere near finished, but it's taken me three days so far to trace this stupid map and I want people to see it.

Spoiler: Original page (click to show/hide)

The scan I'm working from was made sometime in 2000, so it's hard to make out details in a lot of these drawings. Luckily the Stalfos in the maze are based on a bigger drawing elsewhere in the book, so I can redo those. The same can't be said for a lot of the other drawings.

You would have to be a very small child to be entertained by these books. The "puzzles" are the kind you'd see on a cereal box, or a children's placemat at Denny's. I was worried about writing a ton of Javascript to include them in a way that makes sense, but a lot of them can be adapted by just letting the player draw on the images with a <canvas> tag.

That rocks, man. I love dev logs - keep us updated!

Hey, thanks!

Here's the Stalfos drawing from the map, as it appears elsewhere in the book. As you can see, it's a lot more detailed and spooky than my first crappy trace of the map would lead to believe.

And a drawing of Link from one of the game over passages.

Here's the first puzzle I actually felt compelled to write a real minigame for, as opposed to just letting the player draw on the image. It's also the first puzzle where I decided the player actually must solve to progress--the continue button won't appear until you solve all the clues. I have to say, Javascript and CSS are not as hard as they first appear. It's a matter of actually doing something you're invested in, as opposed to just following along with tutorials.

A simple Feather dagger. Not quite happy with it; the wireframe is a mess, and something seems off about it, but I can't tell what.

Maybe if it was a little smoother, and had some frills.

A bit more of froggy lore...

Haadees

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Haadees is one of the major four eldest Velakaii. He's associated with wind, air, hair, pride, regal power, protection, serpents, colours of red, green and gray. His powers and sphere of influence are wind and air related.

Usually he appears in form of a long dark green serpent, with red eyes, yellow fangs, and red hair sprouting from his head and five spots on his back.

He is called Desiii Haaj (king of wind, words for king and wind are designed in Kevekiii Kvakeii after him), Heiii Velaka (second Velaka), Rikaaiii Vaal (lord of serpents), Rikaakolvaivii Haaj (king of the serpent-kin), Ūālaviii Avelekek (protector of the world), and similar epithets.

Being one of the most powerful Velakaii, Haadees has greatly influenced the world and everything in it. First thing he did was, he filled The Vastness with his raging wind, for pretty much no significant reason, just to show his power. The world was no more empty, but inhospitable.

(Remember Dervak, that cool frog wizard hero with cape and brown hair? His main objective was to gather all the wind of Haadees in order to secure his world, and store it inside artifacts (he especially liked forging swords))

After Q'uaksna turned on everyone else, Haadees was the only one of the eldest four that wasn't dormant at the moment, still, the most powerful one. So he proclaimed himself king of the universe. No one objected. He wasn't a bad king of the universe. Under his overseeing, it was a safe place, yet he was very prideful. He created many plants, trees and creatures on his own, just to show his power, and released it on earthly realms.

If you ever spot anything with more hair than it should have, that's 'cause of this guy. Old tales also say he also gave power to one particular mečona, who would be later known as Mek'a'-čona, in exchange for oath of lifelong servitude.

In the next age he's gonna be overthrown by Bazhlee. But I'm not that far with lore yet. Only after he was overthrown, old tales also say that Mek'a'-čona didn't care one way or another about the oath, he broke free and became great villain, wanting to surpass even Velakaii in power. That's another story, however...

It's actually for a staff, but I figured since I was messing with clouds anyways, I'd throw it into the scene.

Nice models, i really enjoy seeing the progress you've made! Have to say though, the scabbard looks uh, uncomfortably similar to a certain thing. :V

Big thank! I've been a bit unsure about the new doodle strats (and i've been having a rough spot recently) so i'm glad to hear it works. c:

Pound for pound, i believe the tiny wrens are the angriest creatures in the world, how else could they be so loud?

It's meant to be heart-shaped, like the sword. I guess I'd better redo it then.

Anyways, volumetric lighting practice.
