If you want to see the swf version in your browser without it being rescaled all chunky-style, replace the "swf" extension with "html": http://thematrixonline.station.sony...cs/cin12_1.html

Couldn't resist getting in on the lucrative holiday card biz. One static and one animated:

The " What does your desktop look like? " thread has been posted in more recently, but this is the one linked in the stickied " Residual Self-Image Directory " thing, so I guess I'll use it. Finally drew Ookami again, which seemed to mean...

Hrrr...

Well, *sort* of in a way more like this maybe

Oh them wacky animators. ^ ~~~~~ Here's an example of the ugly way I sometimes go about laying out a scene--quick blobbos to get the scale, perspective, and poses figured out before I start trying to draw them in a more detailed way.

I meant both of those things, actually. As a lefty, I've noticed that when handedness matters with an item, and there's only one version of the item, the item has usually been designed for the right hand. Which is the correct decision I gu...

The .3 missions are supposed to be soloable, but challenging. People play differently (just talking about solo here), and my guess is that for some people they were really pretty easy, and others found them nigh impossible. It's sort of ha...

Because you've just taken a warm bath and are too lazy to dress properly? (You know, I've never actually done that. I wonder if I've been missing out.)

Sooo you guys have taken the old "control tower" scheme HCFrog and I had and given it a few new names? =p
