Love Haribos number 3

But the overall design of Voyager and the color scheme of Zodiac is awesome

Thank you!

Fuckin AAAAAA

: ]

I really like the creatures, and especially 5, 6, 12 and 19 designs

Thanks!

ever thought about making a game?

I went to school for it, but the way things are going, I'm just aiming for any type of illustrative gig. Storyboards, concept art, etc

Wait, really? What program did you go to and how was it?

I'd rather not say, but it was pretty awful. A real eye-opener and turning point in my values even, haha.

That bad, huh? Seems most gamedev programs are pretty dismal. The one I'm just about ready to ditch has access to some great adjuncts, but the low points are fucking terrible and drag everything down like a boat anchor.

And of course the single biggest lesson out of the whole thing still comes down to "it's all about who you know". Real helpful, that!

"it's all about who you know"

So very true.

Basically to sum up my program, when I asked how to do something, the instructors paused for a moment and said "there's good online tutorials for that." When I figured it out myself, they had me teach the rest of the class.

What I took away from that is, as you said, it really does come down to who you know. It's also a talent-based field. Logically, is a company going to hire someone who has a degree and does shit work, or someone who does amazing work but doesn't have a degree?

I was about to say that nothing quite that ridiculous happened here, but then I realized the worst instructor - didn't know subject, disorganized, no teaching ability or experience, twice as many textbooks as anyone else, actively sabotaged one class - was in fact a recent alumna. Bad enough to get the boot after a single semester, despite faculty staffing problems!

Realistically, the portfolio is indeed the king of the interview, but as a newcomer the degree is the resume fodder that lands the interview in the first place. Unless, of course, you know the right people and get fasttracked. Then there's company size, whether they have dedicated HR, how many applicants they have to go through, company culture (Firaxis heavily favors moving around its existing people over taking on newcomers)...

That said, Ossuary has the look of a setting that you can get at least a few good designs out of, even nondigital ones. Had any isometric graph paper in front of you lately?

It really is just a mess, haha.


Thank you! I don't follow with the isometric graph paper though, I'm sorry!

Triangle/hexagon grid. If you ever design something that needs a top-down map, you can prototype really damn fast. Square grid works too, of course, it all depends on design.

I have to say, ive just recently watched you, but zodiac seems to be my favorite

Thanks!

They're extinct - Haribo and Voyager fight over the remains, and Tsarkos is sort of its own independent thing off on the side.

Totally not themed after Armored Core in any way.

Your cyberpunk stuff is really good. But to me, Voyager doesn't stand out very much. I was going to say they seem a lot like Haribo, but I think you wrote somewhere that they actually ripped off Haribo's designs... Anyway, it's all very cool. I like Tsarkos the most, but there doesn't seem to be much about them.

Thanks!

Voyager has a habit of just appropriating other people's tech and improving on it, rather than making their own stuff from the ground up. Much to the others' chagrin, I'd assume; they just sit around and steal your stuff, then make it better.

Tsarkos is my personal favorite as well! I try not to write too much about anything from Ossuary.

I had imagined Tsarkos to be not only a company, but sort of like a corporate-run city state as well. They inhabit several artificial islands, and for the most part somehow avoided most of the major devastation that everyone else did not. They've got a huge affinity for cybernetics compared to other regions, and they're probably the unsung pioneers who really started experimenting with it and integrating it into their society. Probably mostly to control their populations and make some serious gestapo-like police forces.

Ah, thanks for the bit of lore. They seem really cool - reminds me of Ghost in the Shell or something, and I really like those aesthetics. I think you should consider writing more lore, even if it's just more in-depth descriptions alongside your art. I, and probably a lot of others, would enjoy reading more about Ossuary.

GitS influenced them a lot for sure.

I'm glad you enjoy it! Part of the reason I try to write only sparse details and allude to things is because I'd rather people make up their own ideas and canon about what's going on, what's what, etc.

Are these for a comic? A game?

Free / open universe I made up!

armored core based, inspired?

Not particularly; it's more in the vein of BLAME! or Biomega.

Never played those.

So, monkey man likes his Type 11c, ah see.

Good eye! haha

Number 20 is cute :o
And those Voyager rifles look awesome x3
The assault rifle one reminds me of the RFB :3

i just can't choose witch is my favourite company

The Vess and Silver Child are pretty damn cool.

Thanks!

Thar Jormungand song for Voyager suits well dude and so does the Tsarkos one...That one puts me in mind of what an intro to an Ossuary anime or movie would sound like

Haha, thanks!

Making me wanna rewrite my story and have Dante leave Voyager and go back to Tsarkos man...I love how the Tecko turned out so much!

Haribo's gun designs are so american it hurts. Voyager screams Belgian. Tsarkos has to be German. Zodiac just looks pure futuristic with no basis in current-gen technology. I LOVE THAT SO MUCH

Haribo is located around Western Asia, Voyager is Middle East, Tsarkos is South Korea / Japan area, and Zodiac probably came from the moon or something : ]

Oh I'm sure, but i mean those firearms designs are so very derivative of the real world styles, and consistently within-company

Just like always, Awesome stuff!....

Reminds me that I need to read the damn thing already (Goddamn im soo lazy...)

Thank you! Don't worry about it, it shouldn't be a hassle!

I'm probably going to update it soon anyway if you'd rather wait for that!

Fuck yeah I will. Infact I also wanted to try and "join" the whole story.... Or mabye do some dedicated arts for it... I dunno (Im not exactly a professional soo...)

The more I see of your stuff, the more I dig it. Recently browsed your whole gallery and it was pure bliss. Keep going.

Thank you very much!

I love Tsarkos the most. :D

I am partial to them as well

Still loving the look of all of these. Hope to one day get up to your level on world creation stuff.

Thank you!

All it takes is a little daydreaming and freetime!

Have plenty of the first, almost nonexistent of the latter :<

LOL Zodiac all the way.

AWESOME!!

One ears, two ears, three ears, weird ears!

wow lol, you're totally right - I never noticed that!

WHOA I LOVE THIS

Thank you!
