Has anyone else checked out that Locked Tomb animated show? EDIT: I added an explanation to the comments as well, but before I get too many people disappointed - the original post is tagged as unreality, but I'm already seeing confusion in the notes. Sorry folks, this is fanart! I had the silly idea to make a few high quality gifs about half a year ago and compile them into a gifset like this - unfortunately there is no official animated show (as of now)

Go With the Flow: Modeling Liquid in Motion, the Miniatures of Tomorrow Way!

Hey there true believers, here I am with another Tutorial in my never ending series to help you become a better miniaturist! Today, I’ve got a real treat for you. I’ve been working on this technique for a few months now, and have finally mastered it. It’s one of the effects I’m asked about more than any other. I’m talking about capturing liquid in motion.

Most of the time, when you see blood in miniature, it’s thin tendrils of UHU Glue, painted over with a transparent red paint. While the effect can be neat, I wanted something with both a higher degree of verisimilitude, and capable of withstanding tabletop caliber handling. After an inordinate amount of trial an error, I’ve created an incredibly cheap effect that is more durable than the miniature itself ( it’s pretty much completely flexible), and can be used to create any liquid shape you’d like. The only limit being the depths of your imagination. Lets start with the materials you’ll need, after the jump.

I have a brilliant, in my opinion, idea/concept for a game but no real talent or understanding for code. How can i get this idea out there if i dont have any connections let alone experience?

If you have a truly killer idea and you lack the skills to make it happen yourself, you really have three major means to make it happen.

#1. Learn to make it yourself

Study. Learn to code. Learn to art. Learn to schedule. Make it happen. Maybe you can try recruiting some others to help you out as you go. You can try [posting on various game dev forums] for suggestions and help.

#2. Hire somebody to make it for you

Put up the money for the development, recruit some developers, and they can make it for you. As a general rule of thumb, you’ll have to consider that a full-time mid-level software engineer will cost around $10,000 per month of employment including things like office space, employment benefits, and taxes. This number will vary depending on where you’re located and such. If you go this route, you should be very careful about things like scope creep and the development schedule.

#3. Convince people with money that your game idea is worth making

Could be one person or a lot. It could be crowd funding. It’s going to be tough to convince the people out there to give you money for your game idea though - it’s not a very well-known process, and most of them will want to see something to demonstrate how or why the idea will work. If you can’t show them that, they probably won’t part with their hard-earned money. So that goes back to recruiting and building a demo of the game to make it happen… and that usually means leveraging your own money to pay for it.

But can’t I just sell the great idea to a publisher? Can’t I just be the “Idea Guy” and paid for it?

Publishers have their own people with decades of experience actually making games that come up with the ideas for games they wish to make. Everybody in game development, from the highest executive down to the freshly hired tester has their own ideas for games. Only a select few - the studio heads, the executive producers, etc. will ever be able to make that happen. If you want to be somebody like that, you either need to work your ass off to climb the corporate ladder, or you need to start your own studio and hire people to make your ideas happen.

That isn’t to say that publishers won’t take outside ideas - it does happen. But when you pitch an idea to a publisher, you aren’t pitching them the game idea - you’re pitching them your game studio’s ability to make the idea real. The team that did the Tony Hawk skateboard controller games originally pitched their idea to Activision by leveraging their team experience, a cool demo, and an actual skateboard and two Wii controllers duct taped to it. Publishers don’t buy ideas, they fund game development. They want to give money to qualified and experienced teams to build the game that was pitched.

Most people who enter the game industry do so because they already want to bring their ideas to the table. The vast majority of them want to make their games. You need to provide a compelling reason (like the money) for them to make your idea instead of theirs. Otherwise they’ve already got more going for them than you do - they have skills, they have experience, and they have ideas. Ideas are plentiful. Experienced and talented developers who can deliver are not.

I’m not even going to lie, up until this instant I thought something was wrong with me (maybe that i was the ‘ugly kind of fat’?) because I didn’t think plus sized models were retouched so much. I know that sounds stupid, but I have never considered the reality that even the models of fat women are heavily doctored.

Same shit, different numbers.

Hey look it’s my catsuit!

sailorstoner

not only are plus size models heavily retouched, but they also have to wear padding to make their curves curvier so that we hate ourselves for not having exaggerated curves on our beautiful lumpy bodies.

This is super important and belongs on my fashion blog. Don’t you ever feel ashamed, because your fat doesn’t look like the model fat! It’s the fashion industries fault for not being able to dress actual people!
