My coworker asked if I got mugged on the way home last night.
On more on-topic sort of thing: for a novice with drawing, is working on poses and volume all I should be focusing on for a few weeks? I've been reading a bunch of the resources in the Q&A, and doing a lot of practice with 30 second gesture via posemaniacs, longer drawing with posemaniacs for general figure, and trying to figure out how to draw shapes.
What else are good starting exercises?
A good starting exercise would be doing exactly what you're doing now, but with some of the other resources linked in the Q&A thread, like this and this.

ImageAfter is pretty cool, I have to say. Going to work with this for a few days I think.
Thanks!
oh hell yes
And the character models/animations look a ton better, too.
at least not into Dagon's realm
that shit got sealed
"The player's goal is to stop Alduin, the dragon god "world eater" mentioned in the recently translated Elder Scrolls V poem."
Alduin is Akatosh who was the savior in the last game
what
where was the dunmer town in oblivion?
also, no, not likely to be Oblivion gates anywhere, since they all collapsed at the conclusion of the main storyline in Oblivion
Hey one of you watts guys pm me about watts.
I like the part where the guy was chopping some wood.
Look at him go!
And that they release a construction set for it. The promises of a "brand new engine" has me crossing my fingers.
But maybe that's what makes them successful open-world games. You feel like you are the only important person on the planet because you actually have a character with motivations and history.
are you referring
to things such as those many tomes of lore?

The tomes are one thing, but it's kind of expected that any self-respecting fantasy world is going to be stuffed to the brim with back story and context.
What I'm talking about are the flat, uninspired characters that populate the world. All of the NPC's felt like the safest kinds of set-pieces. Beggar's didn't really seem tragic or interesting, they were just beggars. And you were less-likely to feel sorry for the fact they were sleeping on a dirty blanket in the street, and more like to go into a jealous murder-spree because they even had a place to sleep that didn't require slaughtering a bandit camp.
Sailors felt like they were on the cusp of breaking into song. Crazy people were usually the fun, endearing kind of crazy. Guards were things in armor that were impossible to kill and showed up whenever you meant to talk to someone but accidentally grabbed an apple off the table in front of them. It seemed like, outside of the fact that hell portals were opening up every 15 feet, everyone was pretty happy with their situation no matter where you went, and the ones who weren't barely registered because, again, they were really flat to begin with.
It was the same kind of idyllic fantasy world that you see in the genre again and again.
Morrowind kind of had this problem, but the world as a whole was interesting enough that you didn't notice.
Good thing dragon age doesn't really have that issue
No clue what the sound is like on this, but here it is anyway.
I think there were more bandits in the capital region of the Empire than there were citizens of the Empire.
The knights of the nine expansion made the game a lot more fun. Then at least you had this sort of holy crusade thing driving your story line. I had no real inclination of saving the empire from the evil Fae guy. Seemed to me the whole thing needed a good cleansing, as the bandit problem probably stemmed form overpopulation.
Then my xbox red ringed....
sigh
Bugs!
also @Skyrim
I've never been this excited to kill deer!
ah ok
yes, I agree
though I was having fun in the game anyway and that mitigates things somewhat
Skyrim definitely looks like it'll deliver on its graphical aspects, but I guess it remains to be seen whether their narrative approach changed as well
edit: you mind if I take this over to the SE thread? or you could if you want
Anyways they both make awesome games and this year will definitely put me in deep shit moneywise... Dragon Age 2, Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, Star wars: the old republic... Ffffffffffff
