I set a limit to make this background from scratch in one day, and I achieved my goal within that time limit. Also, fake in-game screenshot! Whoohoo!...boy I'm tired.

Over the course of the next few days, I'm going to be rolling out these dossiers for the different characters. The last portraits for Zoe are here. I usually crop the head shots to somewhere around the collarbone, so excuse the weird looking boobies.

As for how I'm doing... A few days ago, I played minesweeper. I'm suppose to be off video games for a year, and well, I relapsed playing minesweeper. I played it for 5 hours. Instantly the next day, I had visions of violence- Shooting things with blaster rifles or submachine guns, throwing fireballs while imagining the area of effect, and then I took out my pocket knife and started waving it around like an idiot in real life. Good thing I didn't record it like the Star Wars Kid.

The first step of solving an addiction is acknowledging it. I admitted it on this blog. Step 1 completed. Next is to prevent enablers. I uninstalled Minesweeper from my computer.

Now I'm starting to think I should give up video games for good. For, like, Forever. My personal problem with video games, is that I find them addicting and I'm unable to work when I have to fulfill the urge. I have come up with the following ideal activities in lieu of video games:

• Reading a book
• Playing board games
• Watching Movies (I already do a lot of this while I work)
• Hanging out with human beings
• Getting better at art
• Jogging

And some more time/money consuming activities that I will partake in after AD3 is completed.

• Shooting real guns
• Hockey
• Traveling Inexpensively
• Dancing
• Tennis

Maybe I will be able to ultimately stop playing video games forever (my own are excluded of course). For now, let's just concentrate on getting through the next month without them.

How do you like the dossiers style? Did you enjoy reading Veronica's background? Do you like Zoe's visual appearance? Do you have a wife, like Steveman? Fill a lonely artist's inbox and comment on your idea of major boobage below.

Stella- Oh fiddle-dee-dee. I do so awfully dread introductions. I'm Ms. Stella Howard, born and raised in Mississippi of the New Confederate States. It's just a swell pleasure to make your acquaintance, Captain.

And that's my limit of Southern Country diction. She's crazy. You'll spend most of the time looking at her right most portrait, but she also declares herself an actress,  (I do declare) so you'll be looking at the middle one a lot too.

I like her character a lot because she shows such a sharp contrast from the other characters. I mean, it's a sex game and she seems out of place. She seems to cause a lot of drama and bad chemistry with the other no-nonsense characters in the game.

My bad eye started to fail again after I was working, and well... Daddy started to notice, and he gets angry, you see. So I hide. I stayed over at a friend's house for awhile, tried to relax, did some weed. The last time I did weed was with a 23 year old woman, who later turned out to be a 32 year old mom...

Lemme try again. My bad eye was starting to fail again, so I decided to take a break. I fleshed out more of AD3's story on the hiatus. Working on Elaine was a challenge. I didn't want her to look too old, and I didn't want her to look too stupid, so I ended up making 5 different drawings to diversify my portfolio of Elaine portraits. They turned out pretty good, even if not entirely consistent.

Dat PS4... Yes, I find the ps4 to be sexually attractive. Actually, I'm underwhelmed. Back when the PS3 was first announced, I got all excited and switched from an X-Box fan to a PS3 fan because of the Cell Processor. Yeah, the Cell Processor. Whoops. So my allegiance to Sony might switch to Microsoft, because Sony doesn't seem to be doing anything impressive enough to better video game consoles. 

Hardware leap like PS1 to PS2? Not possible.

Game exclusivity? Games are too expensive to make to sell them as exclusives.

Console exclusive innovations?  How about a touch pad... and instead of buying your own tv recorder, we'll let you share it directly. I can see the motion sensor being used in shooting games at least.

Ehh... Looks like there's less reasons for consoles to exist. Consoles are still preferable to PCs because of their lack of piracy on the console platforms. And that means you still have to get a console to play most of the games. I'll just end up choosing the more powerful console.

What do you think of Elaine? Are you a gamer that wants a PS4 or an XBox720, or...a WiiU? Write a comment! Pass the time and go ape-shit waiting for AD3 to come out.

My eye's doing better now. It's starting to look normal again. You can still tell there's something wrong with my eyelid, but the problem is going away. I went for a post-midnight jog and my eye started to feel a lot better from the blood circulation. Apparently exercising heals you faster by 25%. It sounds exactly like some sorta buff "Regen increased by 25%", but it's a real proven statistic, hehe.

So back to work. Carmen has only one facial expression through the game... because she's a robot like that. Beatrice is probably going to be free DLC after the game is finished. Her character will already be in the game, she'll be in certain events, and she's an extra fighter on the field, but she will not be romanceable without the DLC. There's going to be one expansion DLC for AD3 that involves the probably involves the old characters-

 

Sarah                                                       Teresa                                               Taiyo

Mainly because people want to see Teresa and Taiyo again. I'd like to do some Sarah scenes. Maybe add one brand new character with A or B cups (because I've failed my petite lovers), and Beatrice of course. 4 characters only, so out of those 5, one of them's getting voted off, except Beatrice. Honestly I'm not super pumped about the old characters returning because they really have no character going for them. Taiyo's cool, but... the other girls just lack character.


As for the art at the top of the page... Carmen looks like an oblivious robot. I think her eyes should be a bit thiner. Beatrice's face looks too cute. I need to make it more mysterious and tougher, like she doesn't give a shit about you. BUT I'm too tired, and I feel that I'm putting too much strain on my eyes, so I'll just get some rest.

Woke up at 7pm. My right eyelid won't open like it used to. It started 32 hours ago. I remember feeling eye strain around both temples after working for the whole day. I rubbed my eyes shortly before I went to bed and experienced muscle pain from doing so. I woke up with a bit of a puffy upper eyelid. So I waited for it to heal, and here we are now. My sister says she can set me up with an optometrist for $35. It's not the adderall, as I haven't taken that for days. Maybe it's stress. I look like Rocky Balboa after getting socked in the eye. I thought about taking the day off, but I'm not really sure if I need it. I can see fine through both eyes. Maybe I just shouldn't let it get to me, listen to some rocky music, and get back to it. Maybe I should wear an eye patch? Fuck.

Olga is probably my favorite character. Her outfit reminds me of the occasional space bikinis we get from different old sci-fi movies. The neon colors were chosen in the same fashion and gives off an 80's feel. Her brain is partly machine, and it's powered by her outfit. http://io9.com/5910682/a-virus-that-creates-electricity 

Well, I guess this was back when I was trying to justify everything with plausible explanations. 

FAQ for AD1 and 2

Q: How is there a flying castle? How does that work?

A: The flying castle uses these elemental rocks that are lighter than air... (scratches head) magically.

Q: How is there an Avacado Tree for a monster? Why would it attack people if it gained no natural advantages to doing so?

A: Uhh... You'll have to ask John about that, I had nothing to do with that monstrosity.

Q: If a werewolf comes out every full moon, and full moons occur every 29.5 days, shouldn't the "werepuma" be restricted to a once per game encounter, as AD1 takes place entirely within the span of one month?

A: This isn't a very frequently asked question.

Q: How does Jeanne wear glasses in ~1600?

A: Glasses were around back then. The emo frame design that she has is completely coincidental.

Q: How is it that Dragons can eat gold and gain the ability to time travel by doing so? Where does the gold go after the Dragon eats it? What exclusive properties does gold have that other elements do not?

A: Magic.

Now for AD3, I've solved a lot of these problems before they've come up.

Q: Why does Olga wear such a weird bikini?

A: To conduct electricity for her brain controlled interface.

Q: Then why does it have all these slim cuts to make it sexy?

A: The crew is on Galactic Television, so she wears it like that for sex appeal, and to appeal to their biggest audience- Male 15-30 year olds.

Q: Why is the crew primarily female?

Old Answer: Because most of the male crew was wiped out during the initial invasion which took place during a bachelor party.

New Answer: Sex appeal.

Q: This part simply doesn't make sense!

A: AD3 switches from logical parts that don't contain much drama, to illogical parts that do contain drama by switching from reality to acting. By allowing the characters to act out their own fictional scripts, there's a lot of creative freedom when I really can't explain it, or when I'm creatively trapped within the confines of my own space station.

So what do you think of Olga? She shur is a QT pie ain't she?

Take a moment to look at them before reading on.... Do you like them? I think they're pretty crappy. I'm thinking about doing the middle one over. Other then that, I am too tired to say anything else.

Larissa takes the Tsundere role. Tsundere meaning butchy/bitchy, angry but sexy kinda gal. Taiyo was AD1's Tsundere, followed by Beatrice or Sanza from 2. Larissa takes her inspiration in style from Battlestar Galactica's Kara Thrace (pictured). It's a good show, if you like Sci-Fi, you should watch it.

I improved Larissa's face a bit. The blue visor was a late addition to give her a futuristic vibe, but I think they detract from her badassery, so I removed it. She looks pretty butch. Let's look that up-

  butch
an overtly/stereotypically masculine or masculine-acting woman. can be used to denote an individual, or the dominant role in a lesbian relationship.

Does this mean that Larissa will be a lesbian in AD3?...Or will that just mean she likes to take it up the ass? So what do you think about the new Larissa?

Hey. I've been up for 20 hours straight. My friend came to see me out of the blue (not even bothering to call, heh) and he told me about a therapist that was willing to see me for no charge. The therapist usually took my friend for 300$ a session (yikes?). So I went there and...

Hey. I'm not crazy.

(nods slowly) Yes, I went in for some kookoo diagnostics. He's totally cool with the lifestyle. I sit here and draw hentai all day. It's a totally sane thing to do. Then I told him I wanted Adderall- it's a drug for students that are trying to cram on tests. He prescribed me some. I popped two pills and I've been very productive. I can stay up 21 hours straight without even trying... Yeah and I've got a party to go to in 3 hours, so I'm going to try to get some sleep.

As for the pic, she's got a snake tongue. I've put a LOT of work into it, and there's a ton of animations that I'm about to put in for it. Question for you: Do you like the green skin? If not, is it because you aren't sexually attracted to colored people in general or do you just not like green? Is the tongue okay?

I like the middle pic a lot, but I get the feeling we're not going to see it a lot. You'll probably only see it once in the game, and go "bawwww".

Gonna go over all the girls, give em all facials like this one. Then we'll take one picture from each of the 9 girls, and make a Brady Bunch collage!

1a7- Isabel Improved

It's always interesting to see my own art improve. Isabel is the spiritual successor to Jeanne. Jeanne was the straight-laced woman wearing a g-string underneath, trying to slip sexual innuendo behind you all the time, and Isabel is the same in this manner.

After the Isabel poll, I was surprised to see a very polarized reception for the way people surveyed on her. A lot of hate and a lot of love for her. It's always tough, because on one hand, you have to listen to the fans, but on the other hand, if all I did was listen to the fans, then all of the characters would end up looking the same. We need variation in our characters, as imperfections can make things more interesting, and we even attract a wider audience.

That being said, I still decided to concede on a few issues. The first being her breasts. They're suppose to be big, but sag. And she was the only one to sag too, so she was special. But I took that away, at least in this picture, by giving her a more form fitting top. You can tell it really squeezes on her this time around. Her face was also changed... her face is more elegant now. It's less harsh and more welcoming. I really want her to have bite and discipline, but I think we can retain this with dialogue instead.

And as for my absence, I took some time out to write instead of draw some stuff. Not always worth sharing.
