Ships For "From Far and Wide"

I've already said before that I would be making a sequel to my first Scratch game, and in order to do that, I needed to draw more pictures for the characters. The game will be called "From Far and Wide". The name does come from a line in "Oh Canada!" and represents the ships coming back from naval exercises to defend Canada. Here's the link:http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/14900473/
I've drawn 3 enemy ships to add to the destroyer, and aircraft carrier I have already drawn. The Admiral Nakimov cruiser is the largest naval ship in the world. The Oscar II is a Russian balistic missile submarine. The last destroyer, is just a destroyer.

More Drawing in Real Life

The skills you learn from paint are really useful when drawing in real life, and this is the perfect example. On Paint, you draw straight lines, in real life, you draw straight lines too. And being able to judge the slopes is a useful skill to have.

Drawing in Real Life

I think the only reason I started drawing on Paint was because I thought I couldn't draw in real life. But I think Paint actually taught me how to draw in real life. Here's just one of many examples of me drawing in real life, and not make a mess.

Scratch on Microsoftpaintpro

I've found a way to embed the HTML (even I don't know what it is) to make my game playable from the blog. Makes it easier for you to find my game. If you have any comments, please leave them below.

...I lied

You know how last week I said I was going back to drawing on Paint? Well I lied, because now I'm making a sequel to my game, with ships. And I'm also planning to make a second sequel as a first person shooter, making the trilogy the three branches of the Canadian Forces. Hope you guys enjoy it.

back to the drawing board

I've just handed in my game assignment, so I'm done with that. Here's the link in case you want to play it: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/14162880/
Anyways, I'm going back to drawing now, starting with this. I just took one of the pictures I drew for my game and added a backdrop. It's the Super Arrow, and I've been meaning to draw this for a while.

More Planes (for Scratch game)

My game is due to my teacher this Friday, and since I'm pretty much done, I thought I'd program a bonus level in. I've decided that the bonus level will be you, controlling a Super Arrow, trying to dodge an attacking Mig-35, before trying to shoot it down. I've also added a M-50 bomber as one of the mini-bosses.

Scratch

Been working on Scratch a lot for the past few days. Not finished yet, but here's a link to the game. If by the off chance one of you guys know how to use Scratch, it's my first time using Scratch, so any comments on what I could do better would be appreciated. Otherwise, hope you like the first 6 missions, and more are to come.

A New Hobby

I just want to apologize for the lack of new posts. I've just gotten really addicted to programming my game, and got too carried away with it. Anyways, the game itself is due to my teacher next Friday, so I should be able to get back to drawing on paint soon.

True North

I've decided to call my game True North, since it's about defending Canada. I've written out the story, and already drawn the main character, and now I need enemy fighters. So I've drawn up the enemy aircraft I'm going to use. Both are Russian, and made during the cold war, which fits the story line.

Scratch

Found a new way to use my paint experience somewhere else. In school, my computer tech course has a project where we have to create a game using Scratch. We're not supposed to start working on the computer just yet, but I thought I'd play around a bit. I've decided that I'm going to take the CF-18 in the X-Jet 2.0 project, and use that as the character that you control, and the story is that the Russians are invading Canada during the cold war. I've got a good idea on how the story is going to go. (hint, the last mission involves shooting down a nuclear missile bound for Ottawa), and I'm really exited to get started on it soon. When I'm done, I'll share a link here. After that, I think I'm going to create another game just for fun, with the ships. 

Hidden Messages

Art is supposed to be used to convey hidden messages, and so this is my first attempt to put messages in. This one is all about evolution vs. creation. I'm personally a believer of creation, but the point in this picture, is that both theories are equal. Creation sounds like a fairy tale, and evolution is more believable, but there really isn't any evidence for that. If evolution really happened, then there would be hundreds of fossils of pre-evolved humans. Except there aren't, so it's still a matter of faith.

More Experimenting

I'm continuing to experiment with adding paint pictures onto photographed backgrounds, this is the newest one. It's supposed to show how freedom is like a storm, and that's what the RCAF stands for.

Mix and Matched Ships

I notice that everyone of my previous posts have been seen at least once, except for this one. It's actually a pretty cool project that I did a while back, but like I said, nobody saw it. So here it is again, just because these old projects are just as important as my newer ones.

September 29, 2013:

Did the same thing I did to the planes a while ago with the ships. "Battleship the Game" depicts an ordinary game of Battleship. "Battle Group Dakota" shows a carrier battle group, escorted by destroyers, heading out to sea to keep the peace. My personal favorite of the three is "Hunter-Killer Task Group", which shows a small task group, assigned to hunting submarines in the Pacific. This was inspired by the true story of the U-505, which was captured by the American Navy in World War 2. In the picture, a submarine attempts to "crash dive"to avoid the anti-submarine destroyers.

Experiment

In case you didn't notice, I didn't actually draw the background for the new Super Arrow fan art. Instead, I actually took a picture of a maple leaf pin, and zoomed in, before adding the planes. This is an experiment to incorporate paint, into photography, it's really easy to do, and I might show you how to do it. In this case, the background is a sticker I got from cadets, with the CF-18.
