EVEN MORE SCRATCH

I think I've said it before, my nickname at cadets is Sharp-Shooter. That's why I made it my username on Scratch. Now I have a project dedicated to my nickname. My goal is to get at least 10 gun animations, and put them together to form an armory. Here's the custom .50 anti-material suppressed rifle.

More Scratch

I've been really bored recently, Scratch doesn't offer the same challenge it once did, until now. I've decided I need a new challenge, so I'm making a project similar to "igun pro" on Apple's app store. I've animated two guns so far and hope to do more in the coming weeks.

Things You Can Do With Scratch

As we all already know, there are many things you can do with Scratch. Including make a competition to draw, make animations, etc. I've recently found one of these competition, and drawn my own entry. The competition calls for people to draw a creative design for a pokeball, from the video game pokemon. My entry is a search and rescue pokeball piloted by the pokemon inside. It is modelled after an actual rescue helicopter in the RCAF.

New Scratch Game

Along with getting back to this blog, I've also gotten back to programming Scratch games, which as always, involves some more drawing. For my new game, I've drawn a RCAF CH-146 Griffon helicopter. The game involves the player using the helicopter to conduct search and rescue missions around the world. It is still just starting (since I programmed most of it on the plane home from vacation), but it is looking to be a great game.

Super Arrow Competition

The reason I started drawing fan art for the Super Arrow, was that I submitted an essay to their essay competition. Since then, I've been waiting for them to host an art competition. That happened 2 days ago, and I've already completing my submission. I've called it "The Rising Sun Always Outruns the Falling Moon". It depicts a CF-18 losing a race against the Super Arrow, just like the rising sun. It means that the Super Arrow WILL replace the CF-18, just like the sun and the moon. You can argue that the moon eventually comes out at night, but remember that in the Canadian north, they spend 6 months in endless sunshine.

Iron Maple 2.0

First of all I want to apologize for not posting/drawing anything new in the last month, but good news is I'm back, and I've got an awesome project just finished. By the way, if anybody is reading this, please do say hi in the comments, it would make me feel like I'm not posting this for myself to see, and it would probably keep me drawing more. Anyways, I've continued the Iron Maple project because I noticed that I've re-coloured everything, except for the Iron Maple. I finally had the time to re-colour, when I was without internet for a while. I've even included a finished picture with all of them to wrap it up. I really do hope you like this one.

Drill Music

Here's another picture to test your thinking skills. I guess I should explain a little bit about the picture first. Each of the blue dots represents a cadet, and the lines are the staff on a piece of music. The sloped lines are legato markings from movement to movement, legato means smooth in music. To me, it shows how drill and music are the same thing, requiring timings, and confidence. At the same time, not all the dots are exactly the same distance apart, so it is okay to make mistakes. Comment what you guys think.

Last Air Force!

I think this is going to be the last airforce I do for my Air Forces of the World Project, and it's the Russian Air Force. I still have no idea how I'm going to put all the airforces together, but it'll be fun, especially since I have the weekend to do it. I actually think this is my best one, and I like how to blue came out curved on the wings.

More Scratch

I was going to make something on Scratch for Christmas, and I did, without sharing it here because it was nothing much. Just some quick animations, here's the link: http://scratch.mit.edu/studios/310280/. I've also decided to create something for new year's eve. How about a countdown? With animation when there's only 10 seconds left of 2013? That too was really quick, but it does look quite nice if I do say so myself. Here it is anyways, just click the flag.

Air Forces of the World Continued

I said yesterday that I would add planes from some airforces onto their roundels, and that's what I did today. My favourite will always be the CF-18, but in second place is the Thai F-16. Gotta admire them for being the first asian country with an airforce. Mainly because they were never colonized by a European country, another huge accomplishment. Anyways, I may make a huge collage of all the airforces of the world when I'm done a bit more, but that probably won't be for a while since I want to do quite a lot more airforces.

More Roundels

I'm sorry I haven't really posted recently, even though it is Christmas. I think I should draw something with a Christmas theme, but it's too late now. Anyways, here's some more roundels. I may use it for backgrounds, and add planes from the airforce in the foreground. I don't have time for that yet, but soon.

More Scratch

I was going to create a sequel to my first Scratch game, but it became too glitchy, so I've been working on other things to blow off some steam. I've made a 3D flight simulator, and a shooting game, both are below with instructions. Hope you guys enjoy, and have a happy holiday!

Air Forces of The World

Most of the time when I'm bored, I have my computer to relieve my boredom with programming on Scratch, or drawing on Paint. But when I don't have my computer, my options are limited. That's why I've been drawing more in real life recently, for school, and to get rid of boredom. Then when I draw in real life, I've drawn a fighter, in front of the roundel of it's air force. I'm going to make it a project, and alternate between real life drawing, and drawing on the computer. Here's the newest drawing in that new project, and Indian Air Force Mig-21.

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.
