Salad

I have finally finished Princess Peach... Couldn't find anything else to work on with her so I said. "Meh."

There is a very interesting, new work-in-progress shooter game called Ravenfield which is made in Unity Engine by one dude. Keep in mind that it is a tad bit pricey for what you get, and is early access. As well, it is exclusively single player, similar to the campaigns of most mainstream shooters. Don't expect much from the graphics, as they are practically identical to those seen in Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, which is also made in Unity, but this little game is definitely worth checking out.

@kbraszzz still waiting for that TOS game

Game Name: Town of Salem
 
 

 
 
Platform:
Microsoft Windows
Mac OS
Android
Web Browser
Adobe Flash Player
 
Time Spent:
80 hours on steam, a couple hours on a web browser
 
Do you recommend?
Definitely recommended to try the free web browser version first.
The steam version is PAID ($5.00), but not really different, it just gives you a few free misc items and in-game currency
 
What you rate the game:
8.5/10
 
Initial Thoughts:
At first when I played this game a few years ago, it wasn't out on steam and i really thought it was impressive what they did with the kickstarter money they got, I've also seen some gameplay of it from a few YouTubers I used to follow, and I geniunely enjoyed it, although there wasn't ranked mode yet and there was a lot of cheating going on, it was still really fun.
 
Now that there is ranked mode which makes people unable to cheat, it is a whole lot more fun since the chance of anyone cheating is almost 0.
 
 
Gameplay
Town of Salem is a turn based strategy game where you have to complete the objectives of your given role in each game.
 
There are 3 Teams, Town, Mafia and Neutral.
Town's objective is to wipe out the Mafia and Neutral Killing and Neutral Evil roles.
Mafia's objective is to wipe out the Town and Neutral Killing roles.
Neutral Killings' objective is to wipe out both Town and Mafia, along with other Neutral Killing roles.
Neutral Benign's objective is to either survive till the end, or pick a role during in game.
Neutral Evil's objective is specific to roles.
 
By clicking here you can find the list of roles
 
For further info I recommend watching some videos of it's gameplay or reading the wikipedia page which can be found here. Optionally, you can just dive right in and pick up as you play, which is what I did and which was a whole lot more fun than the other options.

You can play by yourself in competitive mode where you can't join in with a party, or play casually in different modes with or without matching up with friends.
 
Pros:
++Well made, simple and good at being what it's supposed to be
++Extremely fun to play with or without friends
++Wide variety of roles
+Has competitive and casual options
+Most players take games seriously which makes games more immersive
+Good for roleplaying without being considered extremely cringe
 
Cons:
-Players can be really toxic (I am one of them)
-Occasionally there is someone who goes AFK and throws the game
-Reporting system is weak, still needs improvements
-Hardly ever any cheaters in competitive as matching up with specific people isn't allowed, but a lot of cheating goes on in other modes
 
Final Thoughts:
It's a game you must be looking for if you are into detective-like games.
And even if not, since it's free to play on the website, you should definitely give it a try.
 
 
 

A friend of mine requested a portrait a while back, (They aren't of the xG Network) But I thought it would still be cool to post this here. I made this a while ago but had completely forgotten about it. I haven't been able to make much new stuff lately because of school work, and general laziness. Zhidus is really into a lot of Gmod Star Wars RP stuff so he requested a SW KOTOR figure drawn. I don't know who specifically since I never got into the Old Republic stuff, but I do know they are some type of Jedi dude. I am pretty proud of the shading in general, but I really dislike how the eyes were in the reference image, and it made for a pretty ugly eye-structure. Not much I could have done to mediate that.

Very very true. You could probably recreate it with the crotas end cloak and some helmet that Im thinking of but I cant remember the name :(

Nice it kinda reminds me of the Hunter from the game Destiny (and soon Destiny 2)

I made it earlier this month, but thought I should probably post it on here. I've recently been drawing similar pieces for several friends who want them, and would enjoy some feedback. :D It's of their TF2 Loadout btw. This has been a major improvement to my shading recently, and I'd consider this my first legitimately decent work since I only started using this tablet back in January, and only very rarely.

Hey, that's pretty great! The only thing I can really say in critique is that the pinky and ring fingers are angled a bit funny. Other than that, your proportions and shading are spot on. Nice!

Yeah, I only realized that after posting it, and was like "They shouldn't be angled like that, must be painful". But I decided I was too lazy to change it. (y)

I've recently started trying digital art, as opposed to the typical paper & pencil I've used since my pre-elementary school days. I've recently changed up what style I use, going from an airbrush set at 70 to the marker tool. This is all in FireAlpaca btw, with a Wacom Intuos. To be honest, I'm content with how it turned out. I hope you all like it just as much as I do. It's not the best. The shape of the left eye (or goggle), is a bit off, and I probably should have used a stencil for the more rounded shapes.
