The Ritters

Come and ask Sir William Ritter and Marcus Ritter questions!

[theritters]

Thank you everyone for waiting patiently for these results to be processed! Thing's are getting really intense now guys and we only have one round left!

[theritters]

Hey y'all

it's been some time hasn't it?

Sorry about the long wait there isn't an excuse except for the fact I lost steam (after carrying the weight of this OCT since august until December-ish purely by myself I needed a break)

But here we have Round 6!

A huge ass thank you to Avery for helping me write like 98% of this and work out the niddly little details.

I am sorry you had to wait so long, but if I had posted it sooner I probably would have made this the last round due to my lack of energy back then.

But don't worry this isn't the last around, so have a read guys and good luck!

PAPERWINGS PODCAST:

Perspective For Comics: Google SketchUp Demo

[zannyblogging]

This is something I constantly refer people to use when I hear people complaining about not being able to draw backgrounds, especially man made backgrounds.

It’s a free software, simple to use and quick to learn!

I spent a day messing around in google sketch up a few years ago and ended up creating this

And then I drew this

THIS WAS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT GOOGLE SKETCHUP FROM THE GROUND UP

NO TUTORIALS

NO GUIDES

My second attempt had a lot more detail

See?

This is why my background’s are becoming much stronger because I spend time creating a quick set in google sketchup

It helps with perspective, layout, figuring out where the character’s live and where things are in correlation to them.

The only person stopping you from learning how to use Google SketchUp (which is still free) is yourself.

THE RESULTS ARE UP NOW GUYS!

ENJOY!

[theritters]

Congratulations to the people who managed to submit entries and everyone else!

Now I have some big news. Some sad news. ShoelessCosmonaut has unfortunately had to resign as a mod. We wish you all the best Shoeless in your future endeavours! But for the Results of Round 5? There will be changes to the way results are...Hmm, judged. Not changing the actual criteria or nothing, but before we had 4 mods who would judge the entries and such but we can't do that now. pettyartist is without a stable internet connection and is unable to log into Skype most of the time. jetsamjunk is busy with real life and such. So the results from here on out will only be judged by two moderators. andalsopineapples and ZannyHyper will be judging your results together, at least for this round, we will see how the next rounds pan out.

Round 5 Results will be announced 22nd January 2014

((I’m writing a conversation/battle between Gaen and Marcus and it’s starting to look a lot like the song The Stand by the Protomen.  I consider this a good thing.))

We lost our subscription so no fancy sub categories anymore, sorry.

Is the final NPC badge going to come out soon?

(I have no clue since Shoeless was in charge of making that but he's been busy with real life stuff.)

[theritters]

[theritters]

We have noticed that there have been a few contestants/NPCs with generation 6 pokemon but unfortunately we are not allowing the usage of Generation 6 pokemon. Sorry.
