Qommence Qrane Quest
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUnr1nUSOfoYou are Qrane, an automaton of some function.And at the moment, that is all you know. Except that that surely isn't normal. You're sure at one point you did indeed know things.There are many pertinent questions and actions at the moment, aside from supporting the wall. Which is your first?
>>28955376Where are you?
>>28955376system check
>>28955376Check our possessions. Maybe something will help us remember.
>>28955376Delete System32
>>28955376WHERE ARE OUR HANDS?!
>>28955441This.
>>28955441>Check our possessions. Maybe something will help us remember.You notice many lovely pockets wrapped around your person, but... to your terror, you lack anything to unbutton them with. You're all feet. Even for a robot who doesn't know anything, you know this some bullshit.
>>28956150stand
>>28955415>system checkYou've been hearing a humming sound at the pit of your robot stomach, so you decided to investigate. Like a frog blinking with a second lens, there is suddenly this screen.... Ah. This would explain things. Or at least, it will. When it's finished. You'll know who you are and why you've been put on this planet in a moment. Great!You could just sit and wait for that, but to say the suspense is killing you is a bit of an understatement.
>>28956188Examine our immediate surroundings.
>>28956227Seconding this.
>>28956227Locate hands.
is anyone still here?
>>28956906I am.
>>28956173>stand>>28956227>Examine our immediate surroundings.You start to get up, but you don't like it. In fact, sitting right back down where you were seems like the most pleasant non-activity in the world. But the sensation of pins and needles begins to ebb away, the more you locomote. But you still don't like it! Not in the least.You look about. To your left is more pitch black wall, but to your right is a column of light, and one rather tall step to get up to it. Almost as if this passage is a strange ditch of architecture.
>>28957040Approach the step, then attempt to scale it if there doesn't appear to be anything obviously dangerous in the passage beyond.
>>28957040>Go to the light.
>>28957040inspect the wall
Hey guys. I'll be back in the morning (morning for me anyway) with more updates.
>>28957873...THIS WAS THREE POSTS.
>>28957898--And I started relatively late.
>>289578984. And don't be a turd about it.
>>28958038It was three.
Morning Bamp
What does it look like strait up? Ceiling? Sky?
>>28958805It was four posts but only three updates.
>>28957906Keep going OP! Don't give up now!
>>28957196>Approach the step, then attempt to scale it if there doesn't appear to be anything obviously dangerous in the passage beyond.You do just that after a brief scan of the area. The scaling part is easier than you think. Evidently, you're a very powerful hopper. You jump your own height like it's nothing.Afterwards you find yourself in the dead center of a long hallway.To your left there is a hissing sound of gale winds.To your right you feel the tremors to the bassline of some strange, vaudeville ditty.And for some reason you're wary of approaching either of them.
>>28964301Lets go left
only touch the black tiles if this quest updates really slowly then another venue may serve you better. otherwise a thread may get deleted while you sleep. such as tgchan [/spoiler
>>28964482What is considered quickly VS slowly?
>>289645631 hour is the average update speed of a quest on /tg/ once a week is the update speed on tgchan
>>28964563 well, could you possibly take over an hour to draw all the pictures for an update? if so then it could be considered pretty slow. if you also need to take more then one break per thread then that means life interference is really high too, which would be another reason to move it. is early enough that just re-posting everything that has happened so far would be easy and preferred.
>>28964687 har har., no, the average is actually 1-2 times a day. with some up to 5 times. usually because they are art quests and take their time drawing.
>>28964756Lagotrope is the only one who updates that quickly and you know it
>>28964798Rust also updates several times a day. the suggestion rate is way greater then the update rate anyway. can post an update, get 10 suggestions in a few minutes. and then they wait.
also, where the hell is everyone? only two suggestions are in here and it looks hella interesting.
>>28964975I tried dropping a link in QTG to see if anyone was interested.
>>28964337>Lets go left>>28964482>only touch the black tilesYou decide to investigate the source of the wind, and begin hopping in a winderly direction. Only across the black tiles though. Every moment of safety thus far has been on dark surfaces, so you'll stick to what you know. It turns out hopping is much faster than walking, and doesn't seem to drain you any. It is slightly louder.This goes on for awhile. Long enough to put major distance between you and that strange musical vibration you heard/felt from the direction you didn't choose. What you come to eventually is a doorway with no barrier. Leading to a balcony without rails. But beyond that is far stranger. Wherever you happen to be is extremely high. You're above most cloud cover. Cloud cover so thick there's not a single gulf to see what's below it.The breeze is swift and frightfully cold. It doesn't bother you any, personally, but your program tells you it would greatly bother you if you were a bipedal mammal. You take a moment to wonder what good that does you.You could, in theory, go out onto the balcony. But you're not sure what more there is to learn out there that you couldn't surmise in here, in the comfort of dark tile footing. Is that balcony going to crumble or not? You feel pretty light, but then again, you're not a mason.
interesting but yes, inconsequential. head in the other directions, to the music.
Check out the tunes.Also, how's the program reboot coming?As for how update speed goes, I'm patient. So long as someone posts every 3 hours or so, threads will stay up.>>28964975Reading the Inn0cence thread.
>>28964975Maybe we're fucking bored of quests and tired of your cancer choking out the board? This garbage isn't even board related.
>>28966010 which is the last problem that can warrent a move, a really popular thread can choke out the others, since they go really fast so everyone spends the entire time dedicated to just that thread
>>28966053>cancercancercancerYes okay, we get it, thank you. There's the door. Hide the threads you hate. Bye.
>>28966087I'm just saying that this thread could just be a slow burner. Go for a few days before 404ing.
>>28965941Why don't we ponder upon our adorableness.I mean look at us, we're a little robot in a scarf.
>>28965941Let's go on the balcony. Looks like a great view.
>>28965941Go out on the balcony.
>>28966010>how's the program reboot coming?Ah yes, the reboot. Surely that's coming along swimmingly--...Holy smokes, how long is this going to take?
>>28965988>interesting but yes, inconsequential. head in the other directions, to the music.You get to skippin'. Eventually you're back to the fork in the road. In passing you pay a dry-eyed farewell to that earlier ditch.Curious: That music from before, at this spot, is much louder. Now more than just a foggy bassline.http://youtu.be/_sBZdSHAIZI?t=1m
>http://youtu.be/_sBZdSHAIZI?t=1mOh dear. You didn't have to trek much farther to find the source. It was already coming. It blasts music just loud enough to mask a comparably loud mechanical whirring noise. The music is so inappropriate it manages to unnerve?A beam of light penetrates the grill of a mask as large as you are. Wh-what is it? Do you even want to stay and find out?
>>28967549Make a break for the nook we woke up in.
>>28967549We should hide in the corridor we started in and observe it as it passes by.
>>28967549ABORT ABORT RETREAT
>>28967715Motion seconded.
>>28967549That there balcony's soundin' pretty nice right now.>much nentlyssYes. Much, much nentlyss.
>>28967637>>28967696>>28967715>>28967777All four poles of your self-preservation program yells "CHEESE IT"And cheese you do.
You'll wait here and wait for that spooky anthem to dim a bit.
observe it, maybe it has something interesting on it somewhere.
Damn, page 8 already. Sorry guys, getting some concept sketches out of the way.
again i suggest tgchan. takes literally three months of no activity for a quest to fall off the board
>>28972387Yeah but how much overlap is there between here and there? I read somewhere earlier that you don't get very many replies there.
>>28972534All I've heard is that it's full of furries. I've never been there though, so don't take my word for it.
>>28972726The only time you should really worry is during the summer or if your going to /draw/.
only 5 of the 15 quests on the front page could be considered furry. and even then 'furry' just means it has non-humans. like a tiny bird person, lizardman, harpy, and various aliens. the suggestion count is very good. it's slow because the quest runners don't produce 20 updates a day like the quests on /tg/.
for an example, top most quest has gotten 17 suggestions since the last update. from 12 different people.which is another thing tgchan has, it is really hard to samefag. need to change your ip between every post to do that.
>>28969955>observe it, maybe it has something interesting on it somewhere.A robust, steam-billowing armored robot on several trackballs mows down the hallway. "VICTORIA" is engraved on the back of its joining midsection.VICTORIA leaves the floor behind warm, damp, and impeccably clean. Perhaps a custodian robot equipped for guard duty?In any case, it will definitely take VICTORIA awhile to reach the balcony and then turn around.Now what?
>>28973423Stealthily follow it.
go down the path it came from.
>>28966135This.plus bump because i am now intruiged in this thread.
>>28973581>>28973631Two totally conflicting suggestions. Fight with pointed sticks. GO.
>>28973423While I'm sure it can move faster if we provoke it, how quickly is VICTORIA moving compared to our hopping/running speed? I vote we follow the hallway to the right, but it would be nice to have a rough idea of how much time we have to find another hiding spot.This is kind of a pedantic question, but is the text in these drawings WYSIWYG, or is it translated into English? If it's translated for our benefit, is VICTORIA written in the same alphabet as our diagnostic overlay?
>>28973423I suggest we follow it, if only because it seems to have a more solid purpose than we do.On second thought, we could try talking to the fellow...probably a terrible idea, actually.
>>28973996The only thing where it is going is that balcony. It is a pretty safe assumption that what it will do is reach the end of the hallway, then turn around and work its way back in the other direction. Maybe VICTORIA is benign or even friendly to us, but I feel like it's safer for us to keep our distance until we figure some more things out.
>>28973996Talking to a fellow named VICTORIA?I tried once, terrible idea. Still missing my tooth.>>28973995I suggest we this.
>>28973995Let's roll with the text, for all intents in purposes, being in english.Also, Qrane is much much faster than any pace VICTORIA has shown thus far.
>>28973581>>28973631Combine. Tail VICTORIA when it eventually turns around at the balcony.
Time is fleeting, you rush at full tilt away from VICTORIA. You can only hope the next obstacle you come across has a loud, telling theme song as well.Any chance that sentience program has made strides...?
DAMN.
>>28976782welp......
just keep moving.
Damn. I did want to get more done tonight. I promise tomorrow will be more eventful. Unless I'm a filthy liar. Hide your pies.
>>28979428Keeping it alive
>>28983228Good man!
You briskly skip the hallway for a hot second until you suddenly come across... this.Another nook, but leveled with the rest of the hallway. Hard to say if this could keep you hidden from VICTORIA the way the other place did.Different wallpaper here. Seems to be an elevator, judging by the button panel.--Which a short, childlike robot is desperately reaching at. Might as well by miles away. He's got no chance, but he tries so hard.Hrm.
>>28985817Also:>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOe0PMEBxHU
approach and say hello
>>28985817Ask him what he's doing, or where he's trying to go.
>>28985817>>28986260Addendum: If he's friendly, he might help us get into our pockets. So, after asking what he's after, maybe we can ask him to see what's in the pockets.
>>28986283Friendly and trustworthy are two different things. He might be able to help us with the contents of our inventory, but he could just as easily help himself to the contents of our inventory.I'm not saying we shouldn't ask him, I'm saying we should hold off on that sort of thing until we get a better read on him.
>>28986465We can probably reach those buttons (if only with our face). Maybe we ask him to help us before we help him.Actually, if he talks at all (and if we can talk... I guess we're taking a lot for granted here), we might be able to find out more about Victoria as well.
>>28985865>>28986260You want to be a good neighbor to this tiny little robot. You try 'Hello' but it doesn't come out that way. The first letter sounds alright, but you quickly divebomb into static.You realize you do have a voice--as you figured--but it's offline. It's likely one of the many things that's coming with that reboot.Likewise, you ALMOST recognize what the little stranger said back. Again, the first letter sounded a little familiar, but everything else sounded completely alien. You'll have to figure out a better way to communicate. After your new friend realizes the same thing, he makes the same gestures as before to the buttons. Problem is you can't tell which button he wants to press. All he needs is reach. And all you need is your damn reboot to complete.
>>28986926Bend down and let him get on your back.
>>28986926Hover the pointy nose thing by the up button and wait for him to respond. If it seems affirmative, up we go. If it seems like a "no," down we go. I wonder if there's any way to speed along the recovery of our voice.
>>28986982Never mind, do this:>>28986979
>>28986926These robots are just too cute.Thirding >>28986979
>>28986979>>28987060>>28987357He looks pretty light. You bend down and offer a ride on your back, but he only uses that as a bridge to sit on your big flat head, which functions a little better now that you think about it. You gently lift him to the panel and he presses UP.Incoming Sequence; Hold Suggestions
The little robot then says words. With an inflection of gratitude. Something along the lines of "Golly, mister, you're the cat's pajamas!" you assume. You set him down with your scarf and consi--
WAIT WHAT?! YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!This is what seemed off when you wanted to check your pockets! Good LORD does this change things!After your episode, you change gears and imagine the spectacle your little robot friend just witnessed. You recollect your cool--although never again will you be as cool to him as you were a moment ago--and take this new development in stride. And in any case, the elevator is about to take off. No gates have gone up to prevent your exit. That has to be a safety hazard. What now?
>>28989561Wait in the elevator.
>>28989561Well? Get to pocket-checkin'
Hows the loading coming along?
I should note the rule up until now on decisions has mainly been '3 out of 5'. I try to wait for 5, unless too much idle time passes. This doesn't include minor decisions that could be congruent with either major decision, such as >>28989612 could easily go with fork in the road.
>>28990206*with either fork in the road
>>28989561POCKETS. WE MUST EXAMINE THEIR CONTENTS.
>>28990206Third for pockets, show us the spaghetti
>>28989612>>28990382>>28990987You begin pulling stuff out of your pockets. Everything you reach for, you feel certain is a slip of paper until it reaches the lip of your pocket, where it then takes a different size and shape entirely.Of the 6 pockets around your waist, 3 of them were empty. You pull out... A giant key with a roman numeral 3 on it, a clay sphere with a flame decal, and some metal clackers on a wire-cable.
>>28992700Learn Hamon, channel through clackers.
Oh. No suggestions? Just waiting on elevating now?
>>28993260Yup.
>>28989561Ahaha, I had been considering asking about the scarf but it seemed unnecessary at the time.>>28992700Check on our program while we wait for the elevator, make sure the little fella doesn't suffer any "misadventures" on account of the lift.
Might you be able to communicate via binary tapping?
>>28965941Jump OFF the balcony
>>28993951>Check on our program while we wait for the elevatorYou don't know what you were expecting, now that you look at it.
>>28992700Fuckin play with shit while waiting
>>28994291Wonder if the progress bar will move faster if you look at it.
>>289942919% increase in not that long an amount of time is pretty good
>>28994385Anon, a watched pot never boils.
I love this quest OP, hoping it picks up more posters!That fire ball thing might be trouble, better put it back in your hammerspace pockets.
>>28994713>hammerspaceI HAD LITERALLY NO IDEA THIS WAS A TERM UNTIL NOW.Thank you, anon.Thank you.
>>28994698We have to try.
>>28994713We should probably put all of our stuff away.None of it looks like much help right now.
>>28992700>>28994291Continue trying to speak. Quietly, repeatedly, maybe at intervals, just to know when or if that kicks in.
>>28995014The bolas might be as a weapon.
>>28995088That's still not much help right now.Chasing after a giant robot tank armed with something that MAY be a bola would not be a good plan.
>>28995185>not befriending tank
>>28994291Allocate more system resources to reboot.
>>28992700Examine the fire orb more closely.
>>28995413Seconded.
>>28994744Good anonymous gentlemen are waiting.If you're not around please tell us.
>>28994299>>28994713>>28995014>>28995066You try to communicate with the little robot, but it only does as much good as it did before.But as you're putting away the dangerous looking clay ball and what is either clackers or a bola, you have an off-cuff idea. As the little robot brandishes the key as he would a lance, you use your static to unleash a radical snarl, posing as though you were a deadly manticore. Falling white diamonds backdrop this truly ephemeral moment. He's quite amused, and you're happy to be such a good host.
>>28996263>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCv69W-EGIs
>>28996263Hug that cute little guy with our scarf.
>>28996555Initiate hugging protocol then try and figure out where this lift is going
>>28996801I third this hugging notion.
OP you have something cool here, don't let the drought of suggestions fool you.
>>28997375I think he might just take a little while to draw things
>>28996555>>28996801>>28997155After a hardy rumble, the small gladiator fells the manticore! Nothing to it!>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtJVBR23spAYou can't help but throw a 'champion's belt' around the only kind thing you've ever known in your whole life--technically.And now you're sort of hoping the reboot doesn't unturn a program with less than stellar attitudes.I'm gonna have to continue this in the morning, I think.
>>28998163Alright, good night OP.
>>28998163Good night, OP. This quest is adorable and I love your art.
If someone could bump this thread if it happens to reach page 9 or 10 when I'm asleep, that'd be great.
>>28998434Bumping for good justice
Bump for robot quests.
bump!
I'm up and drawing.
>>29002904Welcome back!
As you're on your back, you look above/ahead...
>>29003180Whoa. This thread is surreal.Good job OP.
Bump. Sorry this is taking so long. This next bit is complicated, and it still won't look right when I'm done. Also there was sobering news about something personal. It's only half as serious as you're guessing right now, but still serious.
What. The hell. Is THAT.>http://youtu.be/axNuTciT_S8?t=15sYour little robot friend hasn't seen it yet. It's hard to see at all in fact. You two aren't alone in this elevator shaft. What appears to be a big--no, HUGE--damn lizard is stuck to the wall above, camouflaged to the wallpaper. It's only a matter of time before the platform catches up with it, and spatulas it off the wall where you assume it was resting.
>>29005041IZ A LIZERD
Point in an alarmed fashion.
>>29005041Get away from that side.
>>29005041Check program, then think of making friends with the LIZERD
>>29005041Domesticate the majestic animal and use it as your steed.
>>29005041Check to see what other animals you know the names of.
>>29005041Headbutt the lizard!
>>29005177This. The unfamiliar is terrifying, and we should be cowering from it.
retrieve key from kid and brandish it as a weapon yourself
>>29005174>>29005177Both of these. Gotta warn the lil' guy.
I keep wanting to apologize for how long this can take. I spend about 30 minutes after the previous post just waiting out what kind of responses I get. I tend to go by majority, but I'll incorporate some of the better one-vote ideas too. And after that I try to figure out the best way to compose it. I want to be able to look back on this months from now and not hate my hastiness. No matter what, don't think I've run away.
>>29007226It's cool, man. We believe in you.
>>29007226You silly goose, you. Being the QM means you run the quest however you want. Don't worry about being perfect!
>>29006855I support this action.
>>29005177>>29005460>>29005174>>29006855You spring to your feet and 'scarf' your friend backwards with you. He doesn't seem as alarmed as you. Until you point and show him what you've backed away from. Then he looks MORE alarmed than you.The elevator reaches the lizard's tail. As it begins curling up on impact, the lizard awakens. And makes some audible groggy, growling noises.Continued.
>>29008676what text do you intend to be in spoiler tags, anyway?
>>290087184th wall
>>29007226It seems that many of us don't care at all that updates take a long time.>>29008676Initiate boss battle
The lizard crankily slides onto all fours and casts tired lateral eyes across the room. Once it sees you, it freezes up, and begins flicking its tongue. Hissing as it does so. A moment passes and it edges your way in a circle. It's not afraid to get closer to you, and your little friend doesn't need to be gestured a second time to keep behind you.There's little room for ambiguity. This is a hostile. You have no idea how combat-oriented you were ever designed to be. Your scarf is a potent limb by its own right, enough for simple tasks both short and long range, but it doesn't have the same heft as your legs.It's gradually getting closer. Now what?
>>29009660Jump on it's head, dance.
>>29009660Obviously, we hit it with the clackers.
>>29009660Let's not risk our beloved manipulator appendage if we can avoid it.Loving the art, by the way. Only quest I've stopped to read in a long while.
>>29009660We should leave the key to the little guy, he might need it and we don't have arms.While I can't see the bolas working as bolas here, if you were to grab them in your scarf it would make an effective flail/mace. You probably could hop around fast enough to keep away from it's claws and teeth, and the combination of jumping forward and whipping your scarf round would put a hell of a lot of energy into the hard balls.Also, don't try to corner it.We're looking to drive this thing away, not to fight it to the death.
We have somewhat sharp feet and face. KICK AND PECK!
Completely conflicting suggestions so far. We could go with any one of them. Hrrrmmmmm
>>29010182Let the character decide with all these options popping up in its head.
>>29009660Jump on him, Mario style.
>>29009858Seconding
>>29009858thirding
>>29009858im split between this and going mario on his ass.
>>29009786>>29009858>>29010114>>29010258>>29011065Mario jump plus clackers attack for combo points.
>>29011556I support this course of action.
>>29009786>>29010258>>29011556This, but don't forget to pose fabulously while doing it!
>>29009756>>29009786>>29009858>>29010114>>29010258>>29010297>>29010778>>29011065>>29011556>>29011817>>29012021You suddenly remember a swinging weapon in your inventory, prompting you pull it back out and tie it with your scarf AROUND your scarf-; Easier said than done, but you do it quick enough. You leap like around like a madman--fabulously so--swinging your clackers to the floor where the lizard is about to step next. This annoys him greatly, in a "Who are you to judge me until AFTER I've done the horrible deed?" sort of way. You imagine creatures like this really envy the problem-solving skills.He edges closer, regardless how flashy you make your warning sign, and he gets smacked in the face for it. It's his own fault, but he snarls like it's yours. He rears back like he's ready to pounce. Your little friend has never seen anything so mad hype in his life.Continued; Hopefully soon, but expect a wait
>>29013866Ohgodwegondie
>>29013866Forgot the beats:>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7687ikwhao
>>29013866I don't think I've ever seen anything so mad hype in my life.
>>29013866Have to say I love your art style Q. I find it very....fresh.
>>29014546Reminds me of a certain other user-guided, hand-drawn quest, before it went loopy.
>>29014742And what quest would that be? I don't quite recall.
>>29014742>>29014875????
>>29014742Are you talking about the Fae quest that ran last year? the one about the kid?
>>29014875He could be talking about Neckbeard Quest, but it could be a lot of things.
>>29015241Er, The Fair Folk I mean.But as >>29015246 said, A lot of quests go loopy here.
>>29015283Speaking of Neckbeard Quest, it updated at around the pace this quest has so far Maybe a tad faster but hey and ended picking up a fair following before disappearing forever. Don't stress out QM. Also, running for low amounts of players isn't necessarily a bad thing.
>>29014742>Describes all quests everGonna have to narrow it down at least a little bit, anan
Alright I've drawn 2 more but I don't want to post them until I also have the 3 after that. So I'll have to continue this in morning.Please stave off death until morning, won't you?
Bumpan
Bump
>>29016116Bump
>>29019190Yep
>>29019946Correct
And I'm back.
>>29021166Welcome back commander.
>>29021166Yo quick question, how do you make your art? Like was it hand drawn then scanned for digital BGs?
>>29021572I start and end in Paint Tool Sai. I mainly use a brush with graphite-like settings, and that's why it seems I may have drawn it traditionally first.
>>29021661oh shit, can you screen cap those brush settings for me please?
>>29021747Nothing about these settings are absolute.
>>29021166So... about them picamatures...
>>29022583Oh alright.
This reptile has made scrap metal out of bigger robots for much less!!RAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHH!!Cont.
>>29022606eek
"HOLY GEEZ!!" One might assume the little robot exclaiming.Cont.
>>29022606Swing for its eyes!
>>29022620Secondment
>>29022620>>29022795The continue message at the end it means it's a sequence has already been decided based on existing suggestions. It's why I was gonna hold off to upload them all at once.
>>29022824Ah. Apologies, I thought you meant you had 3 images ready to go
KRAKK!Cont.
Your scarf supports your entire weight, for an axe kick straight into the lizard's throat. This changes his course from tearing through you, to belly flopping on top of you.Cont.
>>29023657Goddamn Qrane got mad skills
>>29023657>>29023642Oh hey, cool, the impact from the first pic lines up with the act of the second
>>29023657GBTFO
>>29023657K.O! PERFECT!
>>28955314Hey, OP, just wanna say, after Maverick Hunter Quest and Joker Quest both cancelled today, you're a fucking drink of fresh water in a desert.
>>29021661what drawing tablet do you use and how long did it take you to learn it, i've been wanting to draw for ages but never got how i'm supposed to practice it properly
>>29024956Also if it helps i have a pencil set for generic paper practice as well
>>29024956I have a cintiq. An overpriced, basic-sized cintiq. I don't recommend buying it. There's a new one coming out that's bigger, reportedly better-performing, and 600 dollars cheaper. Check it. http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=113&cp_id=11314&cs_id=1131401&p_id=10707&seq=1&format=2It does take a bit of getting used to any new tablet. And that's mostly about getting the calibration and pressure settings just right, counterbalancing THAT with the program you use and its tools and then getting all the hotkeys all how you like them. It takes awhile. Some of my best stuff is still drawn on index cardstock.
>>29024730I'm in the same boat, friend.
>>29024956Get a Bamboo man.
>>29025055well i've been thinking of getting a basic wacom bamboo for practicing drawing on a computer + paper drawing to get better in terms of how to draw>>29025094stop reading my mind anon
>>29025117https://sites.google.com/site/4chanic/training-tutorialsHere's a link for you.
>>29024956>>29024984Not the QM. But Gesture Drawing is a pretty good place to start. It's simple, quick, can be a lot of fun, and is a completely necessary skill to be a good artist. It's also a good way to start seeing some early improvement for motivating yourself.http://www.proko.com/how-to-draw-videos/Check this site's videos under the figure section(the bottom video is the first one) and work your way up. Then go on to learning construction and perspective(I suggest Loomis's Fun With A Pencil and Norling's Perspective Made Easy for this). Proko also has a few good videos for fundamentals.Also, check out the /ic/ sticky links. /ic/ itself might vary in degrees of helpful but their sticky is pretty decent.
You're not looking to get squashed under him, either.A split second after you feel your left axekick connect, your body is flexed counter-clockwise, lending momentum into your right foot. This leads into a flat-footed kick, planted firmly in the lizard's chest.This completed double-attack launches the lizard away from you. And in this gap of safety, you wonder if that was all some form of muscle memory returning to you.Cont.
Bumping for justice.
>>29026044Qombat Qontraption Qrane
>>29026044Pretty qickass moves there, Qrane.
>>29024956If you want to learn how to draw just use pencil and paper to see if you have the talent for it and if you even like doing it. After a few years if you think it's worth it get a bamboo or monoprice.
>>29026044Yeaaah boiiiii
>>29026796Oh I missed that part. Learning to draw, period? Yeah, definitely pick up some uni leadholders, uni lead, a uni lead sharpener, and some wausau index cardstock. Order it all online if you have to. These particular drafting tools will change your life. Ask me about any other particulars.
>>29026044haha holy shit we rider kick now
> Qrane: Check if your little friend is O.K._
There is a loud smack.And... wow. Just wow.Cont.
Your sticky-bodied foe is now just wall dressing to the next elevator riders.It's quickly leaving sight and mind. Cont.
>>29028134Well damn. We kick ass. Lets check on our little buddy.
>>29028134>>29028228Strike a fabulous victory pose.
>>29028636https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huQoDlHmqrE
>>29028228Victory breakdance followed by posing.
>>29028134>>29028228I-Is that a crater in the wall?
>>29029355Yes.
I'm not one for quest threads, but holy crap is this awesome! Keep up the awesome work.
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2L1yR1klw0You put your clackers away, concluding that they are probably not clackers at all, but bolas. They wouldn't have been very effective as such against this particular opponent.You want to victory dance like the best of them, but truth be told you're a little tired from beating so much lizard senseless. Your little dude has you covered, though. He hotdogs enough for 2 people, throwing up the horns and making sick-mad-hype wooing noises. Even though you can't translate it, you really wouldn't need to. Phew. What now, heroes?
>>29029908It reminds me of the good drawquests.
>>29030088What's our sentience program at?
>>29030088Take a nap.
>>29030088Check how far your program has booted!and high five that little guy already, he's got his hands up and everything!
>>290300881: Check Sentience Program.2: High five the little robro! Fuck yeah!
Time flies when you're having fun. Apparently.
>>29029908I am most definitely enjoying this thread as well. I'm glad when a slow art quest thread pans out well.
>>29030319Guess we wait.Give us some elevator music.
>>29031097>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHC-YsXYTsg
>>29031233not avaliable in country ;_;
>>29031233Good choice.
>>29031330If you're using chrome, proxtube can unblock it for you.proxtube.com
>>29030088>not clackers at all, but bolasI'm pretty sure they're clackers. They make such a delightful clacking after all.
>>29030088Wait for the elevator to finish its glorious journey,then roll out fabulously and check for danger!
>>29030283I second this. Little Guy is rockin' out.
Let's have another go at taking.
I'm going to take a short break. This isn't the hardest of work, but it can burn someone out, same as any task. Check back a little later.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrKplk8bDDc
I hereby declare this the best quest since Lego Quest.
In the mean time, if anyone wants to read a completely different comic I've been making: http://imgur.com/a/q1C6i
>>29033240Pretty good, but I actually like the minimalism you have going on here more.
>>29033240Love the art man. I would buy an issue of this if this was at a comic book store.
>>29033240That's some neat ass shit right there
>>29033240>giant NTRPlease tell me this isn't what i think it is.
>>29033593It... isn't what you think it is...?
>>29033240She's pretty cute
>>29033240that was pretty cool. How often do you update it?
>>29033712There are a few other updates not in the imgur itself. http://scribblehatch.tumblr.com/post/69107705402/been-trying-out-a-new-drafting-method-for-the and http://scribblehatch.tumblr.com/post/69838744587/this-is-a-test-and-i-like-how-it-went Right now it's on hiatus. I look back at that art I did and I really... really want it to be much better. I also want to master my drafting speed, as well as getting a better feel for combat scenes before I start making ones in that comic, which is part of the reason I'm making Qrane right now.
>>29033240Oh hey, man. Didn't even recognize you.
>>29033789As a connoisseur of various tg and tgchan drawquests, I deem your artwork as being acceptable when held to the standards of tgchan, and better than most first timers on this board.
>>29033593>>29033618Oh.That says intro.
>>29033998Unfortunately there's a big, scary and worst of all JADED world out there I'd have to appeal to, to make a living as an artist. I can't get away with approximative lines for too long and dodgy anatomy for too long. And jesus christ, my faces.>>29034035Ah. Ahoho.
>>29034187You still have a bunch of posts to go before autosage so I might as well keep this alive
>>29035225Gracias. Wait until it gets to page 8 or so, though.
>>29034187I'm just some dickhead on the internet, but I think your art is great.
>>29033240O hey, I saw these back on the /coc/ threads! How's it progressing?Also, Qrane Quest is getting more and more amazing each update. Definitely would watch.
bump
Bump for justice
>>29040082Yeah
I'm up, but I'm about to do some last minute christmas shopping.
>>29041667kay. Might want to think about getting this onto suptg. Haven't done it before myself, but it's a good idea for a picture quest. foolz loses images after a while, so letting it archive to foolz would be a bad idea.Also, polite sage for bump limit avoidance.last two times I tried to sage it didn't work. Maybe this time...?
>>29041733This has been archived back on Thursday. http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/28955314/Also, sage counts against the 300 replies. This thread is about done. Only 6 more replies after this post, so it probably would be a good idea to put the next update in a new thread.>>29014742If you're still around at all, care to share?
>>29041980Wha--eh? I'm mainly from /co/, where's it's 500 posts. It's 300 here?
>>29042524/tg/'s bump limit was never raised to 500 for some unknowable reason moot probably forgot about us when he was doing that
>>29042602/tg/ is moot's least favorite board, because he doesn't understand how we exist
>>29041980>Also, sage counts against the 300 replies.Why god, why? What did I do to you?Haven't been on this board long, admittedly...So, new thread, Qrane?
I've created a tumblr for this.I'm trying to figure out how disqus even works when you have it enabled. Seems to be a hassle. Is there a tumblr theme that would work particularly well for this kind of thing? I'm willing to get a pay one if need be.
>>29044169qranequest.tumblr.com
>>29044169Do you have a twitter? A lot of QM's use them to organize their quests and keep people updated about threads.
>>29044169Twitter is much easier to use for quests.
>>29044295>Do you have a twitterI do now.https://twitter.com/QraneQuestI've never ACTUALLY used it before, though. Any examples of how people have used them for quests?
>>29044499I use mine to inform people of when I expect to run, and to let them know if I have to cancel a session. It's pretty straightforward, use it as a scheduling tool.I also tend to link my threads there once I make them, to help people find them faster.
>>29044499Post quest related content only please, try not to spam random shit on it.Here is the only twitter for a drawquest I know: https://twitter.com/HeroRena
>>29044535Qrane is not my normal alias. I created the Qrane trip solely because of this quest. I am not Qrane. You are.So only Qrane-related stuff would appear on the eponymous tumblr and twitter.
>>29044521What about your outlet for suggestions? Do they use twitter for that?
>>29044614I know you're Scribblehatch and all that, I meant post stuff related to Qrane quest on the twitter like when you're going to run it and details about the world and characters, or random drawings.
>>29044634I assume you mean player suggestions. I sometimes have twitter conversations with followers, but I don't do that over twitter, just in the quest.Are you referring to player decisions, as in, what to do next in the quest, or actual feedback on the quest itself?
>>29044729>Are you referring to player decisions, as in, what to do next in the quest, or actual feedback on the quest itself?Well, the former. But the latter too, actually.
>>29044806I handle in-quest player decisions exclusively through the threads.If there are a lot of participants, I'll allow them time to discuss strategies. Then I'll list the most popular threads of thought with numbers, like this:Vote 1:>go leftVote 2:>go rightThen each person votes by linking my post along with a single number. This allows me to count the votes quickly and mitigate people that samefag in favor of their choice.Many times the most popular choice is clear, and I don't have to bother holding a vote. I only get that elaborate when there's a lot of contradictory opinions or I've got a lot of people participating.As to feedback, I tend to hold a "meta" discussion after each thread, in which participants can ask out-of-character questions, I can get opinions, and we can have a back-and-forward over what happened in the quest
I know /tg/ is pretty slow (at least compared to /v/), but jesus christ I've been waiting literally ALL DAY for a new update
>>29048103I assume he stopped because he hit the bump limit
>>29048103Oh. I'm on intermission. There may be an update in a few hours. And yeah.>>29048202There will be a new thread for it.
