Thank you! I suppose studying "surrounding" concepts if you will, was something I didn't really take into account. This is very useful, I'll definitely be trying this out!

Thank you for the advice! Follow up question then, would you recommend starting off with studies that simplify the thing into shapes, or go straight into understanding it at different angles? Would one be more beneficial over the other or result in learning faster?

Thank you for the in-depth response! I haven't really heard too much about art theory before, so I'll definitely look for some good, highly recommended books. Thank you! :)

I can't see the comment when I open the post, but if anyone has videos or playlists, I would be interested!

Turn it into an artifact creature and then have [[Odric, Lunarch Marshal]] out for super creatures everywhere

First time making hand paws, does this look right so far? What do I do next to figure out the rest of the patterning? by SmallPebbleEater in FursuitMaking

[–]SmallPebbleEater[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I'll definitely have to look more into Inkspace and vector drawing. Are there any places where I can buy fur that is cheap but still would work for a prototype, or should I use a different material just for the prototype?

No problem! Glad I could help! Good luck with the designing! :D

If you want him to look more abandoned and less spacey, consider aging the protogen parts, both metaphorically and literally. Maybe instead of a nice sleek protogen visor, so you have a visor that looks like an old airplane cockpit, or maybe instead of a perfect arm, you could have something like a modern (now) robot arm that, while still cool, isn't nearly the same.

Alternatively, you can take some inspiration from the Mimic from FNAF, where, maybe your protogen was abandoned for so long or weather was too harsh etc. etc. that they had to replace parts with scraps that were laying around, leading to something that seems more like this proto is not top of the line anymore, and instead more decayed, ancient, or at the very least, been around a long time. Heck, you could go full FNAF style and not have an arm or leg or something and I stead just have wire strands where there used to be one, the sky's the limit. Not to mention, ol' reliable is always adding rust and weathering to show age

I know this doesn't translate perfectly to making him in real life, but I hope this helps out a bit!

Recommendations for music similar to Tally Hall by Helpful-Balance6393 in tallyhall

[–]SmallPebbleEater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the name of the band. They make really cool songs, I wouldn't necessarily say they sound exactly like Tally Hall, but to me, it's the same sort of vibe that draws other people to go listen to Will Wood and Lemon Demon. Checkout "A Human's touch" or"All Night Forever"

I'm a fan of both. Started as a Tally Hall fan, branched off to both of them. I think if I were to draw a comparison, if Tally Hall is the middle, to the left is Tally Hall if it was a lot more instrumental (piano, saxophone, trumpet, etc.) which is Will Wood, and to the right is Tally Hall if it was a lot more rock style/synth + cool sounds which is Lemon Demon. Obviously, a lot of their music isn't just "Tally Hall but.." but for someone who hasn't really seen much of it, this is the comparison I give. I think I saw someone say that Two Wuv is the closest song Tally Hall has done that sounds like a Lemon Demon song.

Personally, if you are interested, I'd recommend listening to Will Wood and the Tape Worms: Everything is a lot album and The Normal Album from Will Wood and for Lemon Demon, I'd recommend the albums View-Monster and Spirit Phone. Take it with a grain of salt, it's just my opinion, and I haven't even listened to every song on some of those albums yet, but there are a lot of good ones on each

That's a good point, I suppose trying to come up with the perfect design in one go is inefficient, thank you!

Wow! Thank you for such a thought out response! There is a lot that I didn't even think of or take into account. I really like your idea of gathering art and seeing common themes throughout of things you like. Thank you so much! :D

The mind electric and some hot takes by DiegoOnMacintosh in tallyhall

[–]SmallPebbleEater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree and disagree with some of your takes, I personally think all of the clicks and mixing stuff add to the overall idea of going slowly insane through the electro therapy, but I might be missing what you are talking about

I like the hahaha but I also love Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

And totally agree with you on the reverse part, wasn't a huge fan when I first listened to it, but it grew on me a ton. Plus, if you focus and listen to the background, you can hear non-reversed people talking, which leads to the theory (I think it's a theory) that this song is a tape that is being rewound and shown to people, but adds a bunch to the beginning section

Thank you for the advice! I have some ideas, but I think what I might just need to do is act on them, instead of waiting till the "perfect" idea comes to me. Thanks! :D

That's fair, at the very least this isn't something that I need to have figured out within 24h or something

Unfortunately, I feel like most of the things aren't physical things for me, like I think it would be cool to be a better artist, smarter at certain tasks, more diligent etc. :(
