Heads Up for those Asking for Tutorials
13 years ago
I thought I'd better post this since we've been getting a LOT of inquiries as to how we make blank, how we do blank, and where to get blank.
This is something we've already mentioned on DA in our FAQ, but unfortunately since journals get bumped to make room for new ones, I think people there have forgotten to check it out before they ask questions:
Bones and I don't do tutorials, nor will we tell you how to blank, where to get this that or the other thing, or what's the best way to blank.
Firstly because we're not teachers. I'm a lousy teacher actually - I yell a lot, and use inappropriate language. Secondly, because this is our business; we do this because we love to, but also because we have things like student debt, rent and the pressing desire to continue eating food that might occasionally not be macaroni with powdered cheese sauce. Mmm, powdered cheese goodness.
That said, there are a lot of other really talented people who've done amazing work all on their own. It definitely ain't impossible folks; our method was nothing more complicated than the following:
I want to make a _____.
What if I tried this?
*Falls apart*
Okay, how about this?
*Sorta falls apart*
What about this?
*Explodes*
Eventually you get to the point where things stop exploding, then you can fine tune it from there. We spent a metric shit ton of time on the engineering side of things to get our monsters to the point where we're happy with them, their relative durability, poseability and look. That's all it is, just hard work, trial and error.
Nothin' special, and definitely something everyone's capable of!

If I ever give this a go, I hope I can avoid the exploding part.
btw.. obviously joking..
Your work is goregeous and I don't think anyone could do it better <3 ;3 keep doin what you doin!
But seriously, thank you. That means an incredible amount to us! <3
Like say I did this and that and this, but it exploded, but I tried this instead of that and it don't explode, but shatters
Could you give me a tip kind of thing
Not like I would every try to make anything like this, i'm just a kinda of person if I try something and can't get my head around it I'll give up .. and having someone giving tips is nice
and I'm sure theres others like this
If you get stuck, keep trying! You might figure out some glorious secrets of your own! ;)
Cause some people can only do so much them selfs, or want to try so much
I spent over 10 hours trying to code rpg maker VX ..breaking things.. getting stuff I want to work half way.. breaking more and more things.. only to get something I eles wanting to work and breaking the first thing before I went out and started asking help.
