ZOVIET_FRANCIS'S PROFILE

I've played hardly anything made this year. As such I've only nominated four games for one category each:

Best Atmosphere: It Moves
Best Graphics & Artwork: Dreaming Mary
Best Level/Dungeon/Puzzle Design: Bunraku
Best Gameplay Mechanics: Null Regrets

If I don't find anything else worth playing by the time this is all done I may nominate some of these games for other categories as well.

Letters from various collection agencies.

lol I've still not received any actual feedback on the tracks I posted. Really, tell me now, are they THAT bad?

MY FAVORITE BAND. :D A track from their debut album which is completely different than what they'd do afterward, where the keyboards took the forefront. This and their sophomore album are probably my favorites. Lugburz is a criminally underrated album. Anyway the whole song is amazing but the keyboard passage starting around the 2:00 mark leaves me with a sense of wonder every time. It's also a taste of what would be to come of the group afterwards.



Music that sounds exactly like its album art.



I'm not too big on John Zorn in general but his work with Naked City produced some great material. Absinthe is my favorite album of theirs by far. There are mainly quiet, eerie tracks on it; this isn't one of them. I love this track, can't get enough of it! (the song is called "Artemisia Absinthium" btw, the plant used to make, well, absinthe) Great cover art as well, it was by a well-established artist I can't recall and don't feel like searching for right now, but I like the way they utilize it in the booklet, which unfolds several times over with the same picture on every fold, eventually slightly fading out. Who says physical media can't contribute to the feel of the music? ;)



If anyone ever wondered where my namesake derives from... anyone? Anyone? Well, in any case, here you go, this is the song that officially made me a fan. It's such a minimal track but it honestly left me stunned and still does. I can't describe it, it's almost like one of those songs/artists I was looking for all this time and didn't know it or some pretentious crap. (I would have preferred to post the other video of this song where it was just the surprisingly fitting album cover over the background instead of this montage of trees and an airplane(?) but this user actually bothered to spell the group's name properly so the vote was cast)

@Dude if you insist. :/ These are some pen-and-ink sketches that I found lying around in a booklet of mine. According to the signature of a couple of them they were done just last year and yet I barely recall doing these at all. I just want certain people in this thread to know - you set overly high standards for yourselves. Of course perfection is something that is nigh-impossible to strive for and continuously improving on your craftsmanship is an admirable goal to achieve but look at these - look at these - and you won't feel so bad. Dudesoft, for example, your Tyrion Lannister is great! It may not be a very good Peter Dinklage, but I think "Song of Fire & Ice" instead of "Game of Thrones" (besides the first book) so your visual interpretation of the character is perfectly valid.

I have about - 7 pen sketches from this book. I doodle all the time so I probably could find all kinds of crap lying around other places too. I have some pencil sketches in a storage room that I haven't seen in years so I don't even remember what they look like let alone if they hold up.

I'll share a few for now, maybe more later if anyone cares.

I don't have a scanner so I had to take photos of these with my phone so the lighting/alignment is off compared to the original drawings. The files also ended up being gargantuan in size so I resized most of them to something more reasonable.

Well, not this one. This is actually excerpted from a bigger picture that I cut out because 1) the camera flash captured some unsavory-looking invisible, dry pen scratches and a bright middle light and 2) the rest of it is even crappier than this. :) In my defense of this it was intended as a "quickie" drawing compared to the others (hidden b/c of size).


Faces. Yeah.


Idk.


I have a couple more drawings that I think are much better than these, and one larger drawing that I don't think is particularly good (but it's large! relatively speaking) and another that is sort of a character concept for my hypothetical future RPG Maker (or whatever game program) game that I'd rather keep to myself until I'm ready to do something with it.
