The cave background shown above could use a little extra love, as it's kinda bland and flat compared to the forest and mountain backgrounds.
The torches aren't added yet, that's why it looks a bit bland so far. It's getting some animated torches soon... Keranu already has then ready, they just have to be included into the battle program, but it's already almost at capacity so I'm in the process of optimizing the code for size.

DesmondThe3rd: hey, that's not bad at all. Nice work. His style isn't easy to emulate...

Thanks, I figure I'll give it a shot plus it was fun drawing the girl

Keranu · 01/18/2011, 11:30 PM

Could be bonus fan art, Desmond! Similar to the OMAKE mode in Shubibinman 3.

Arkhan Asylum · 01/19/2011, 07:58 AM

all this art is making my head hurt. I WISH I COULD DRAW

esteban · 01/20/2011, 12:05 AM

Good to see this project persevere.

I like this... Contemplative. Forlorn. No, seriously, I like it.

Anyway, I feel that CrackTiger was inspired by none other than Prince Erik (Beyond Shadowgate). Of course, CrackTiger's work is superior. There's just something about the eyes.

Keranu · 01/20/2011, 12:34 AM

I always thought Grimm looked like Vladimir Putin in that image. It's the nose.

OK, I see a bit of Putin. But, as we both know, BlackTiger owes his aesthetic style to an anonymous artist.

OldRover · 01/20/2011, 09:49 AM

I dunno... his style for this game was created exclusively for this game. He can draw in other styles too, as he demonstrated earlier.

OldRover · 01/20/2011, 06:52 PM

Cutscene 1 has been completed... only 7 more to go.

Well... cutscene 1 is as completed as it's going to get for now. It's not quite as nice as it's supposed to be because the first scene is way too complex so I may go back to it and try to perfect it later on, but for now, it's finished. The next one to be completed is the 7th scene.

Ignore me and continue making progress. I'm an anchor to the MSR tugboat

OldRover · 01/20/2011, 11:59 PM

Tugboat? It was almost a shipwreck there for a bit.

Bernie · 01/25/2011, 04:07 PM

Wow.. Just wow. So glad to see work being done on this project/game. While I cannot offer any artwork, since I suck at it.. I can offer encouragement! Looking VERY good.

TheClash603 · 01/25/2011, 07:25 PM

So we can expect the game out next week?

OldRover · 01/25/2011, 10:16 PM

The work may very well be completed next week, but the release won't come until the newest build passes beta testing. It all rests on Gogan right now, as he's the one charged with the task of completing the three final scenes, so everyone give him some encouragement.

termis · 01/26/2011, 03:23 AM

Go Gogan, Go!

Gogan · 01/26/2011, 08:48 AM

I've started a few mockups, jus gettin the feel, cuz as of yet, not very black tiger-ish. Should hv lots of free time this weekend to hone the style.

Nazi NecroPhile · 01/26/2011, 09:50 AM

Go-go-go-go-gogan!

DesmondThe3rd · 01/26/2011, 05:35 PM

OK, I wanna try some more stuff. /picture002ke.jpg

OldRover · 01/27/2011, 09:11 PM

Those are pretty good, though not his style... more your own unique style, but kinda reminds me of some of the artwork from early 90s console games.

Don't be surprised if I bug you for some original artwork for a project.

OldRover · 01/28/2011, 03:25 AM

The long-awaited gameplay video... too bad the video quality is craptastic.

TheClash603 · 01/28/2011, 07:08 AM

Wow! That looks awesome, better than any other homebrew I have seen.

DesmondThe3rd · 01/28/2011, 07:47 AM

OK, I'll figure I will try my hand at some bonus art at least. Here is the last bit of recent concept art and colouring I did for Mysterious Song too.

Arkhan Asylum · 01/28/2011, 08:20 AM

Just like the Insanity painting! Damn!

HEY WHAT YOU TRYIN TO SAY BRO?
XD

Keranu · 01/28/2011, 06:10 PM

Loooove that colored version, Desmond! Colorful and vibrant, just the way I like it

. You're really talented with those white highlights!

Bernie · 01/28/2011, 09:29 PM

Ok, the artwork I have seen here is awesome. Love it. I also just watched the video.. OMG.. I love it. I cant handle all the PCengine goodness coming at me all at once. This video just put me over the edge. I cannot wait to buy/play this!!

FANTASTIC! Truly, truly awesome job you and the team did.

OldRover · 01/29/2011, 02:23 PM

Some of the cutscenes will be letterboxed because of how many images they have in them...

/msr-09-25.png

OldRover · 01/29/2011, 05:03 PM

There are some new battle backgrounds as well.

Thanks dude

OldRover · 01/29/2011, 08:18 PM

Hey Desmond, do you want to design the cover art for the CD? Since B_T is MIA, we have no one to do it, and your style is good enough to do it.

BlueBMW · 01/29/2011, 11:53 PM

Maybe I missed all of this, or just wasn't around when it happened, but what exactly happened to CrackTiger?

OldRover · 01/30/2011, 01:23 AM

He apparently ran into a lot of IRL problems involving his family... I don't know all the details but he's been MIA for some time now.

Even his domain is gone now... squatted by some seedy shithead reseller.

OldRover · 01/30/2011, 01:57 AM

Animated torches in the cave battles.

Whoa thanks, I'll see what I can create with some paints on my days off here.

Ahh that's a bummer. Well maybe someday he'll see this game completed and get some satisfaction knowing that he had a hand in it.

His site is back up and running at a .net domain.

DesmondThe3rd · 02/02/2011, 05:56 PM

This took awhile but I finally was able to complete this art here. Please let me know what you think or how I could make it better?

OldRover · 02/02/2011, 06:22 PM

Senshi · 02/03/2011, 11:23 AM

Nice work Desmond. Is that the voice in his head above the mountains?

Oh ok. I was referring to the opening scene that was posted on youtube.

Tatsujin · 02/03/2011, 09:11 PM

I like your sketches and pictures desmond, except for the eye parts, those are looking kinda awkward and wrong to me

Yeah looking at it now the eyes can be a little odd especially on the main character there in the painting.
