Kasanip's Sketchbook 2

[Kasanip]

Hello everyone, my name is Kasanip!

After finishing [Kasanip's Sketchbook] thread, I was encouraged to continue, and so made [Kasanip's Sketchbook 2] thread.

This is link to Kasanip's Sketchbook 1 (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=139582). It has art from 2009 - 10/2012.

Actually [art] means [sketch]. Most of the time it is not beautiful finished art. Usually, it is drawn in 30 minutes or less...a habit of working in class or at lunch.

The art here will be drawn on my computer. I use [IllustStudio] and [Wacom Bamboo Comic].

I'm kind of a shy person, nice to meet you. :smallredface:

Some characteristics that can be noticed, are to do [Music Sketch]. The meaning is [listen to a song and to make a sketch of such an emotion].

Mostly my sketch is about characters. Of course if there is a request, please do not be shy to make a post! However, please understand maybe I won't understand, and not guarantee to make it. Sorry, my English isn't good.

Probably post rate is to depend on mood. But sketch is only hobby, so it can be relaxed. But this time, try to become more skilled is a goal, too.

Please relax and enjoy! :smallsmile:

Hey, Kasanip. :smallsmile:

To start things off with more art. Remember in Niek's game we were planning an A support between Sheron and Shinobu, would you be willing to draw a romantic picture of them, such as them hugging, or Sheron kissing Shinobu's hand?

[Fri]

Yay for the new thread. And it's an interesting new avatar you have there, kasanip. I didn't recognize that it's you at first.

Thank you! :smallsmile: It should be said, Avatar is of new character [Yfa Keter Ain] for [Dieselpunk] game　｢What's Left of the Flag] （Playground 5) (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=259914). She is Lynks. To be technological advance race:


http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/lynksrenpou.jpg
It is [Dieselpunk], so some player are difficult to imagine magic and combat. So a sketch is made. Maybe it is Eris to pose. :smallredface:

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/ssmh.jpg

[Ascaloth]

Oh. Where is this dieselpunk game? Are you running it Kasanip? :smallbiggrin:

Sorry, I am not GM of this game. To be busy enough, running Ryuutama game.　:smallredface:　But if it is desired, please look:

[Ascaloth]

Thanks Kasanip. :smallbiggrin:

EDIT: Come to think of it, I guess I do have a request.

I've been liking the latest interactions between Madeline and Falcon, particularly how she touched his face and his hand. Maybe a sketch depicting either of the two scenes?

[Starsign]

Great to see you again Kasanip. If it's possible, could I make a request of Indall, my character for the Playground game Yfa is also in please? I can give a description of Indall and her species if you have time. :smallsmile:

I am happy it is liked. Falcon is more difficult to draw without hat, it was realized. :smallredface:

I am always a little afraid and embarrassed when asked by Starsign, because always it is character type I can't draw. :smallredface:

@Kasanip,

お疲れ、ｶｻちゃん。 :smallredface:

That said, is it just me, or does he look like he's wearing the clothes of a French aristocrat rather than the tribal clothes of a Bercan plainsdweller?

I apologize, I know my characters are a little difficult to draw due to them not exactly being human. :smallredface:

But Indall looks great here! I love the outfit especially and you did a wonderful job with the details. :smallbiggrin:

[Illven]

I can try. However, please show me picture of Sheron. :smallredface:

Thank you! :smallsmile:

I've got a suggestion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xrOd7Wv5aQ) for a music sketch if you feel like it. I'm not really sure what kind of music makes good sketching music, but see what you think.

I don't think so. But if it is such an opinion, probably it is fault of use Jhosua sprite. He is prince of course.

Heh, alright. I guess Falcon's clothes just look better when they're flapping around in an action scene. :smalltongue:

Exams are not finished, sorry. :smallredface:

Ah. I think I've said it quite a few times already, but once again. Good luck for the rest of your exams. :smallwink:

[Mina Kobold]

Exams are not finished, sorry. :smallredface:

Good luck on them, in that case. :smallsmile:

Though you say they are only sketches, the last posts' drawings were very nice. Keep up the great art when you can, but don't worry about not posting full pieces in exam times. ^_^

[Illven]

Oh, I see!



Thank you!



Exams are not finished, sorry. :smallredface:

Since I did Halloween Nina, can I request a similar picture for Nina?

Also good luck on the rest of your exams.

[A Rainy Knight]

Always fun to see more of your work! I'm particularly fond of Yfa's first encounter with a cigarette there. Seems like she's going to turn out to be an entertaining character. :smallbiggrin:

And I guess I'll post it here in case anyone else wants to see it: a Christmas present for everyone who hangs around the Sketchbook!

The caption reads メリークリスマス or "Merry Christmas."

[banthesun]

Super good luck in your exams! I hope they're not too tiring!

[Tengu_temp]

People, people. You know Kasanip is busy with exams, why are you requesting sketches from her? Let her finish them, at least! Exams are much more important than drawing pictures for people on the internet.

Hope the exams will go well, Kasanip. Good luck!

[Kasanip]

Thank you everyone for well wishes. :smallredface:
It is after one more final examination.

What's the subject?

What's the subject?

I don't know how to call 「教育心理学研究法」 in English. It is maybe [Educational Psychology Study Method]. I must make presentation on Wednesday. I am bad to make a speech, so it is stressful.

2012 isn't good year.

Tell me about it. *reminisces on events and issues happening in my own life*

Aw. :smallfrown:

Don't lose heart, Kasanip. Your English isn't all that bad, and you will surely improve further. :smallwink:

I wish you a happy 2013. :smallsmile:

Your English is not bad at all, Kasanip. It is quite good considering how different Japanese and English are, in fact. ^_^

If 2012 was not a good year, then all the more hope that 2013 will be an amazing one. If we can do the least to help that, I think we are all ready to jump at the call! :smallsmile:

Sorry it is a late message. Merry Christmas!　I hope it was enjoyed. :smallsmile:

Happy New Year!


Hello everyone. It is now 2013, to have come so fast.

2012 was a very bad year. Many important treasures like family and friends were lost. To think about such a past, probably forum post can be seen such a feeling for me. To become very depressed and stressed and busy, life was not enjoyed very much. A vacation was took after examinations were finished. Sorry to disappear m(_ _)m.

I want 2013 to be a good year. If I am lucky, study abroad program can be joined. But I must practice English very much.
I made some challenge goals last year but nothing was completed.

This year I want to draw very much. It is admired Thanqol to make a sketch everyday. Maybe it is too much for me, but I want to try such a style.
I want to try a new western game system (always I have not tried very hard to learn such an RP system). I tried to teach a game, but actually it is impossible for internet game play, I think.

I don't want to be like a shadow like last year. I don't want to give up anymore.

Do you make such goals like this at beginning of next year? Please tell me your thoughts!　Thank you very much for your friendship and always support comments. 今年もよろしくお願いいたします！　:smallredface:　:smallsmile:

[Khaeta]

This year...this year I have a lot of things I want to do. I worry a lot that this (http://xkcd.com/1154/) is the inevitable outcome, but that's true for everything. So, things I want to do this year:
~Finish my high school diploma
~Practice drawing
~Re-learn how to write
~Start (seriously) learning Japanese
~Learn to cook

Really though, at the end of the day I'll be happy if I accomplish anything I can be proud of.

...also I resolve that if I'm going to stay on this forum, I'll have to get a less grumpy-looking avatar.

[Tengu_temp]

I hope year 2013 will be very good for you, Kasanip. You deserve it!

By the way, what's that bird-like thing at the bottom of the drawing? It looks vaguely familiar.

I believe that is the Owl-artifact Arkumedez, which was part of a mini adventure within a bigger game which she ran.

[banthesun]

Happy New Year Kasanip!

It seems that many of the people that I know found 2012 to be a bad year, so perhaps 2013 will be a much better year. I definitely hope so!

I think the new year is a good chance to look to the future. This year I didn't try to make any New Year's Resolutions. Last year my resolutions got stopped by events in my life, which I found upsetting, but many of the goals I started on midway through the year have worked out well for me. The future is always uncertain, but I think that can be a good thing. As long as we try our best all the time, I'm sure we can make 2013 into a great year!

Thanks for a year of drawings too. Even in the bad times your drawings helped fill me with warmth and peace. I look forward to seeing more in the coming year!

I hope you have a great year in 2013!

Thank you! Yes, owl is Arukumedez, Artifact Spirit of owl statue. He is loved very much by Mystletinn who is Non's artifact spirit [compass rose sword]. Somehow [balance] with cat-like lynks Yfa Keter Ain, it seemed a good frame.

Why do you dislike it? Is it too depressing?

Hey Kasanip, definitely like all those sketches :smallbiggrin:

Why do you dislike it? Is it too depressing?

Yes, I think so. But it is not good because [tone] was misunderstood easily.

Nice sketches as always! I think I'll probably play a male tactician when Awakening first comes out, but I feel like that's the pairing I'd go for on a second playthrough. :smallbiggrin:

It is some time to not update.

New Character


http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/atosuryua22_zpsa321a005.jpg

It is a problem, name spelling is difficult to remember. So, probably a nickname will be thought. I like short names. :smallredface:

She is griffin knight. Original was broom knight, but became changed of suggestion of other players. However, drawing Griffin is more difficult than broom.

Thinking of Mystletinn, somehow theme is strange birds become loved by my characters.

Class Change Madeline


http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/kura2_zps041b8e1d.jpg

Sword user is popular class. Probably it is not personality of Madeline, I think. But she can become a cool character like this.


http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/aamana_zpsbde9d2e3.jpg

Armored knight is humor class. Some promote is ok, however.

[Starsign]

Those are wonderful drawings Kasanip. :smallbiggrin:

Also I am jealous to all those who have a 3DS now that Awakening is out :smalltongue:

[Illven]

Kasanip, is your new character an Elf?

[Kasanip]

Always glad to have more sketches/drawings kasanip. :smallsmile:

Thank you always for your support! :smallsmile:


Griphon riders are always cool.

I think so, too. :smallsmile: If Kamome obtains plane in future, maybe it will have such a name.

Kasanip, is your new character an Elf?

Yes, she is. Sorry it wasn't said before. :smallredface:

[Illven]

Yes, she is. Sorry it wasn't said before. :smallredface:

It's fine, it was pretty easy to guess :smallsmile:

[Kasanip]

This week I decided to give up. Because running away from pain.
But I want to make more happy memories
So I want to strongly live.

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/ztb1_zps299aa391.jpg
Thank you everyone for all wonderful memories.
I want to continue together! :smallredface:


Sorry for a dark image. Somehow change happened while drawing. It was realized after, maybe this meaning.

[Ascaloth]

Oh, that's terrible. :smallfrown:

I'm here if you want an ear to listen. :smallsmile:

[TechnOkami]

I'm honestly curious as to what the hiragana says.

I'm sorry that you're going through a tough time though.

[Ascaloth]

I'm honestly curious as to what the hiragana says.


Tsuyoku ikinasai, which means something to the effect of "stay strong and keep going".

[TechnOkami]

Tsuyoku ikinasai, which means something to the effect of "stay strong and keep going".

Ah, thank you. There's also the characters on her arm and faintly visible under the arm, assuming the phrase you translated for me is the one to the far right.

[Ascaloth]

Ah, thank you. There's also the characters on her arm and faintly visible under the arm, assuming the phrase you translated for me is the one to the far right.

The characters on her arm are shi ne or "die", while the faint ones below are shippai or "failure".

To be honest, I'm quite a bit concerned for Kasanip's welfare right now. :smallfrown:

[TechnOkami]

To be honest, I'm quite a bit concerned for Kasanip's welfare right now. :smallfrown:

As am I, but if she truly means that she wants to see brighter days ahead, full of happiness, I'm fully confident that she can reach that happiness one day, though it may take time.

*waves little "Rooting for Kasanip" flag*

[Fri]

I'm sorry to hear that Kasanip. I don't know what happens, but I hope you're alright. I'm sorry for not interacting with you much lately, since I also feel like I want to give up lately, but I hope you know that we here are always rooting for you.

Usually I'd draw something for you, but I just can't draw anything lately, so sorry :smallsmile:

[A Rainy Knight]

Best of luck with everything going on in your life, Kasanip. You've got all of our support. :smallsmile:

[Tengu_temp]

I really don't know what to say. I've had some hard moments in my life, but it's obviously nowhere near as hard as what you've been going through, Kasanip.

All I can say is - please don't give up! Even in the worst moments you can find something to cheer you up and make everything better. And I really hope your life will change for the better. You deserve it.

[Just_Ice]

Good luck, Kasanip! Sorry about the Ryuutama game...

Hang in there!

[Starsign]

Oh gosh... That must be brutal to go through Kasanip. :smallfrown: I hope you'll be alright in time; it sucks to be in a such a downer mood.

We all are here for your though, so please don't hesitate to ask us for help when you need it. :smallsmile:

[Illven]

I really don't know what to say. Everything I would want to say has been said by someone already.

But maybe that's a good thing, because it shows how many people care about you. (Of which I'm one of them)

[Raz_Fox]

All I can say is that I hope you are well, I hope you stay safe, and I hope the road at your feet is easy and smooth.

[Mina Kobold]

Everything that I could say has been said many times better by many others already, so all I will say is that we all hope things will get better very soon. You deserve happiness, Kasanip. :smallsmile:

[Kasanip]

Thank you very much everyone.
I'm very happy to have such a support and friendship.
Ascaloth, TechnOkami, Fri, A Rainy Knight, Tengu_temp, Just_Ice, Starsign, Illven, Raz_Fox, Keveak. Thank you for cheer for me, and always to help. :smallredface:

Somehow days slowly become better. Today it was hiking. I always loved such a walk very much. And it was realized again this such a beautiful world. Maybe that's the reason I want to draw and speak and see and travel.

Sorry it became a strange atmosphere for sketchbook thread. :smallredface:

[TechnOkami]

Sorry it became a strange atmosphere for sketchbook thread. :smallredface:

It's cool. Life happens.

[Ascaloth]

I'm glad you're feeling much better now, Kasanip. :smallsmile:

To help you just a little bit along with your study of the English language, I'll just leave this little poem by Samuel Beckett (http://zenpencils.com/comic/87-samuel-beckett-ever-tried-ever-failed/) here. :smallwink:

[Illven]

Kasanip it's fine. You shouldn't feel the need to fake happiness all the time for us. :smallsmile:

The picture is really pretty.

[Terraoblivion]

Sorry it became a strange atmosphere for sketchbook thread. :smallredface:

It happens, don't worry about it. I just hope that talking to people has helped at least a little bit, even if it won't solve everything. That and that you'll feel better in general, sinking into depression is horrible and I wouldn't wish it upon anybody.

[TechnOkami]

Because I feel this is very relevant and it amuses me so.

うつ病は、私は他人には理解できないことが一つある。
私はそれが心理的なものであること、起こることを知っています。
しかし、あなたは極貧のときでも、あなたは友と不安定なときに感じる
世界はあなたの人生は、奇跡になるように数学的にありそうであることが、奇跡的な場所、そして地球上の生命 であることを知っている。
あなたが別々の人であっても、あなたの周りの世界の美しさに取り、その美しさの一部であることを知っている 。

Don't worry about it being strange; it's not a problem for us. :smallsmile:


Ooo, is that second picture a paper doll picture? The kind where you draw a character then hold it up in such a way that the drawing looks like it's interacting with the background?

I hope you continue to do better; I like the sketches do and so does everyone else here. :smallsmile:

[The_Snark]

Being happy is hard sometimes. It's good that you're determined to keep trying; I wish you the best of luck with it. :smallsmile:



http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/akiramen_zps60ddb3e8.jpg

I like this drawing a lot; the pose and face are very expressive. I've always loved hiking too.

[Kasanip]

Hello everyone, it is long time no see. :smallredface:
How are you?

Sorry it became time of not often using internet for many reasons. One reason of course is school became stressful. However, this school year became finished! So it can be relaxing for spring vacation. Being such a 1 month absence, I hope I did not worry anyone.
Only a few drawings could be made. However, it was thought maybe I should make a new post because thread became lonely.

Fire emblem

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/kurasupegas_zpsab147ccb.jpg

Sometime tactician must complete necessary jobs. Playing again this game, it is a humorous image.

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/pegaba_zpsf47bde04.png
It became new avatar.

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/sksn_zpsbd7b5d8e.jpg

Color was tried, but I became very bad at such a thing. Because it is spring, I want to practice with color again.

Rai

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/rai_zpsc5407135.jpg
Rai was a failed character for me. Somehow depressing. This character was designed when I was becoming depression.

Actually I don't like spiders.

Star World's Battleflag

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/seikai_zpscda36c04.jpg
Listening to a radio drama (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%98%9F%E7%95%8C%E3%81%AE%E6%88%A6%E6%97%97) at the library, it was sketched.

Avatar Battle?

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/sino_zps7dfb2f9f.jpg

It was thought for forum avatar battle. What is my class? Maybe sinobi is good idea.
http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/sinobigami1_zps8f1f47fc.jpg

Still such a style cannot be drawn by me. :smallredface: I don't know if sinobi represents my personality. Somehow it can't be participated until such a decision is made.

[TechnOkami]

Holy crap it's Kasanip. D: Welcome back.

[Starsign]

Hello Kasanip! Good to see you again. As usual, your art is excellent. :smallbiggrin:

The school year is getting busy for me as well, less than a month to go until the summer break, I can't wait.

[Ascaloth]

Oh hai Kasanip, お帰りなさい！ Heard you had exams, how'd you do? :smallsmile:

That last picture is a nice take on MyUnit Kasanip! Was that watercolour?

[A Rainy Knight]

Hey, great to see you again, Kasanip!

I really like that pegasus knight avatar. :smallbiggrin:

[Mina Kobold]

Welcome back, Kasanip! Glad to hear the stressful parts of school have taken a back seat to vacation. :smallsmile:

All of those drawings are amazing, the painted one included. Particularly liked sinobi Kasanip, it is such an adorable art style. ^_^

Rai scares me, though. Giant spider. ._.

[Tengu_temp]

Glad to see you back, Kasanip. Enjoy your vacation!

Nice pictures. I actually like spiders, especially when they're big and fuzzy. Like this:

What stats did you pick for your Myunit's asset and flaw?


If it's your current avatar going into the battle, the clear choice for class is tactician :smalltongue:

[Prime32]

Welcome back! You're still better at keeping your threads active than I am. :smalltongue:

Rai scares me, though. Giant spider. ._.
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd54/Prime32_temp/Rough/sad_spider_zps1f7383dc.png

Now look what you've done. :smallannoyed: He just wanted to give you a hug...

[Just_Ice]

Tactician can't catch a break.

Nice Banner of the Stars art.

[Fri]

Glad to see you back Kasanip. I was a bit worried, glad that it was unfounded.

[Kasanip]

Thank you everyone for kind comments!


Oh hai Kasanip, お帰りなさい！ Heard you had exams, how'd you do? :smallsmile:

That last picture is a nice take on MyUnit Kasanip! Was that watercolour?

Thank you! Examinations were all passed. :smallredface:
Such a picture isn't watercolour, sorry. It is digital paint.

Sorry to cause a worry for Fri.


Probably it isn't known, but a favorite artist KONNO Takashi became release of new special book (単行本), so advertise for [secret marketing]. It has been popular online comic for sometime, and release.
So, such a fanart and link can be seen in signature. :smallredface:

Actually it was tried other paintings and full coloring, but program died so became failure. (ノД`)・゜

Sorry it became advertise thread. :smallredface: I was happy to see such a success of project effort.

To tell a secret, it was made the promise of New Year's that I wanted to learn new western trpg this year. Even if February was slow time, it has been learned rules of Paizo company's [Pathfinder]. It seems interesting, so I want to try sometime! Do you know this game?

[TechnOkami]

I know a little bit about Pathfinder. It's somewhat similar to D&D 3.5, the both of them being D20 systems and Pathfinder commonly referred to as D&D 3.75. The two systems are close enough mechanically that you could play one class in the other, perhaps have some numbers tweaked here n' there, and it would more or less run the same.

I'm actually going to be playing my first Pathfinder game on the boards actually...

[Ascaloth]

Thank you! Examinations were all passed. :smallredface:

おめでとう！Time to kick back and relax! I look forward to your future works! :smallwink:

[A Rainy Knight]

I was wondering what you had there in your signature, to be honest. Perhaps I'll check it out sometime if I get around to making a niconico account.

Ooh, Pathfinder. I've played it once before, and it was similar enough to my usual system (D&D 3.5) that I only needed to learn a handful of changes to pick it up.

[Prime32]

To tell a secret, it was made the promise of New Year's that I wanted to learn new western trpg this year. Even if February was slow time, it has been learned rules of Paizo company's [Pathfinder]. It seems interesting, so I want to try sometime! Do you know this game?As said, it's pretty much the same game as D&D 3.5; some parts are better (skills and combat maneuvers are simplified; the paladin class is greatly improved), some parts are much worse (spellcasters are even more overpowered compared to non-casters; there are feats which don't actually do anything). You can typically use 3.5 material in PF and vice versa, and it's recommended you do so; Tome of Battle is probably the 3.5 book most worth looking into.

If you have trouble getting your character to do what you want, post here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=59) or at Minmaxboards (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?board=24) for advice; D&D 3.5 is the main focus of both sites.

EDIT: Also, I don't know in what form you're viewing the rules, but psionics (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed) are basically MP-based magic and/or ki-users, and better balanced than the standard classes (most third-party publishers are terrible, but Dreamscarred Press are probably the best writers around). They're worth checking out.

Heh, I can't remember my second avatar's flaw, and you've had the game alot longer then I have. (I think)


I'd read the webcomic but I can't read Japanese :smallredface:

[Starsign]

I regrettably cannot read Japanese either. My brother can but he isn't exactly fluent in it yet.

As for Pathfinder, I've given it a try myself. I personally think that it's an improvement above D&D 3.5e, but not in the way that it tries to. I'm personally indifferent as to play 3.5 or Pathfinder and more interested in different, possibly obscure systems.

[Kasanip]

I'm actually going to be playing my first Pathfinder game on the boards actually...

Maybe we can play together sometime!:smallsmile:

It is difficult to find such an obscure system.:smallredface: It has been seen such a thing like [Fate] and [M&M] and [Pathfinder], so I am happy to have such an experience.

It is a spring feeling, to return to school. What will this year and dream promise? I hope this year is a happy year.

[Mina Kobold]

I hope your year will be a very happy year too, Kasanip. :smallsmile:

The sketch looks very neat and really gives off a hopeful, spring-time, feeling. Good work! I am a bit unsure about what the character in front is holding, but it is otherwise amazing. ^_^

[Starsign]

I do wish you the best of luck with school Kasanip. I myself am at the last 2 weeks of the semester before finals. I don't think my anxiety has been higher in a long time.

But on the bright side, the sun is shining and the snow has finally melted! :smallbiggrin: It is wonderful for there to be Spring after a long, delayed Winter.

[Shades of Gray]

I'm just finishing my first year of university, and here you are moving onto a new one. I hope all goes well. From what I understand, it only gets better. :smallsmile:

[Kasanip]

Good luck for finish of school!

Being just the start, and anniversary of father's loss, it was difficult time recently. But this year is better, I think. Sorry it has been too busy, but fortunately forum isn't so busy. :smallredface:

Such a theme of today's sketch is [nostalgia] thoughts.


Characters waiting for new jobs


http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/30CD30BF56DB30B330DE_zpsc17c8c85.jpg

Of course roleplay is like theater performance, of many actors and actresses. To post such a timeline, it is worrisome direction of characters over years. I wonder next character design? What will be next role?

Mary sketch

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/mari094_zps2f862b9f.jpg

It's a long time no see for this character. Always she appears at the time of spring.

It's exciting, even if wait

[Tengu_temp]

Do you think you will use Kamome for some other game later?

[Kasanip]

Do you think you will use Kamome for some other game later?

Probably will never use same characters again. About Kamome, only she can be used for such a [sequel] of Mecha Sky Pirates game. :smallredface: Maybe to appear sometimes in sketchbook, or host of end of sketchbook thread also in this way.

Are her boots on fire in the background picture here? :smalleek:

[Acanous]

Hello Kasanip! Welcome back, we kept your seat for you.

If you are looking to play Pathfinder, I would reccomend you start with a Rogue or Barbarian.
Rogue is much better than it was before, with many new tricks to choose from. Barbarian is simple and effective, without being boring.
Both will help you get familiar with the system and how it works, without overwhelming you or leaving you feeling like you do not contribute.

Once you have become familiar, you can try more complex classes like Wzard or Druid. They take constant planning and work, but are most powerful and fun.

[Kasanip]

Are her boots on fire in the background picture here? :smalleek:

Yes! Such a picture was sketched while to think about Avatar Battle thread. Because Mary is [Caller], to use clothes of weapons called [tsukumogami]. Such a thought like [boots] and [socks] and [cap] etc. However, Mary is very peaceful, so this idea was stopped.

Waiting for what? Are they releasing something new for railgun?The anime's second season has started.

[Silverraptor]

The anime's second season has started.

Oooooo! I don't suppose they have the subbed versions of the episodes released yet?

[Acanous]

Thank you for advice! It can be said that I play any class for party. I think I would like any class. Interesting characters can be thought about for them. If it is easier however, it can be played like suggested by Acanous. :smallredface:

Pathfinder rewards specialization and punishes generalization even more than it's parent system.
You are almost guerunteed to be the same class the entire game.
It is a good idea, then, to pick something you will be happy with for the whole game.

You seem the type to put more into a [性格] than [機能].
If you would like, I can help you with the game mechanics and character build based on what you write for personality.

[horngeek]

Congratulations on a second thread, Kasanip! :smallbiggrin: Sorry to hear that 2012 wasn't such a good year for you, and I hope 2013 goes much better.

EDIT: Also, I've played a bit of Pathfinder, it's a very fun system. I'm interested in what you think of the Dragon Empires, if you've read up on the world Paizo publish.

EDIT2: Incidentally, are you up for a character sketch request? I have a couple of characters for the new BleachitP request that could do with a picture. :smallsmile:

It is only Japanese language, I think. Sorry! :smallredface:

Thank you for the offer. If there are any questions, I will ask. However, first a game must be joined, of course. :smallredface:

Thank you for kind words. It hasn't been read so much about [Tian]. I am trying to finish [Advanced Player's Guide].

I am happy to draw requests for this week, I think. :smallsmile:

[horngeek]

I'll send over a PM soon, then. :)

[horngeek]

Out of interest, Kasanip...

I know that in Japanese, some words that sound the same are written differently and have different meanings, which can give English-speakers trouble ([kami] being a prime example of this).

And since I know English has its share of words like that, which are spelt differently and have different meanings but are said the same...

Are there any words like that in English that give you particular trouble at times? Just curious. :smallsmile:

...I'm also slightly curious as to whether Japanese has any homonyms- that is, words that are said and written the same way but have different meanings.

Yes, there are many times such a word cause problem for listening and speaking. Maybe hardest is [to]. Using such a word it is "want [to]"
"be going [to]" "go [to]" are different, and also [too] and [two]. It can be understood, but to hear many times becomes difficult to understand direction.

For example, the sounds of this sentence: "I wanted to go to the movie theater to see the two o'clock movie, but too many people are going to come so I'll give my ticket to you."

Even if writing it can be seen, [L] and [R] sounds are difficult to hear.


...I'm also slightly curious as to whether Japanese has any homonyms- that is, words that are said and written the same way but have different meanings.

Because of kanji, it is not so much this problem like English writing. However, such a joke of sound called ダジャレ is very popular and common, especially comedian. It makes a joke of similar sound words. You can see some here (http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~aki-ina/gyagu.html).
Maybe some easy ones:

オオカミがトイレ入っておお紙がナイ
占いの本は売らない
車がくるまで待つ
虫を無視

I don't think I can make good such a joke in English. :smallredface:

Oh, I think I know this one. Basically, it's what we would call 'wordplay' in English. For an example in the latter, we might perhaps say "I scream for ice cream". The things that Hyouka teaches you, eh? :smallbiggrin:

BTW welcome back to the forums, Kasanip! Hope you've been doing fine when the forums went down. :smalltongue:

[Just_Ice]

I'm sure whatever joke you make would be grate.

That was a typo. There is no joke

Glad to see this thread lives after the internet de-exploded. How's the pathfinder game coming, Kasa?

It is unfortunate a game cannot be found. :smallredface: Of course because forum was dead such a search cannot happen.

Api-Niyap Goddess of Fire and Harvest

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/api_zps2e7b2176.jpg
New god game character for me.

[horngeek]

Fire and Harvest, huh?

It's an interesting link. Makes sense when you think about it, but isn't immediately obvious.

Love the pic. :smallsmile:

[Just_Ice]

Happy belated birthday.

Man, gotta say your gods designs are generally pretty sweet.

[A Rainy Knight]

Oh, happy late birthday!

Heh, it's an interesting combination, but Api-Niyap's design actually captures fire and harvest pretty well at the same time. Looks nice! :smallsmile:

[Mina Kobold]

The picture for Horngeek's characters is really well made, very much makes a good impression of them and their differences.

Api-Niyap's image is just beautiful, I really like the combinations of the colours, especially with the fire/harvest themes. Very nicely tied together and amazingly drawn. :smallsmile:

[Illven]

Is horngeek a game?

I like your new goddess, I guess we turn to her when we want a festival after harvest season?

[horngeek]

No, I'm not a game. Those are two characters from the current Bleach in the Playground game going on over in FFRP. :smalltongue:

Happy Birthday~!

On L and R sounds;
This is the most common problem for eastern speakers learning western languages. Has been for at least a hundred years.
The biggest way to tell the difference at first, is to watch the person's mouth as they speak.
L sounds, the mouth pulls more flat, and the tongue moves. Usually to between the teeth.
R sounds, the mouth purses a little bit. The tongue does not move, unless the person is spanish :p

on "To". "To" is a word denoting intent. Like a prelude for a destination. "I Want to" means you wish for the following to occur, as that is the destination. "Go to the movies", the movies is the destination.

"To" and "Too" I can see as very difficult, since they sound the same, and "Too" means "Also". "Too" will be at the end of a sentance most of the time. "to" will almost never be at the end of a sentance. (A good example would be "If you want to") I hope that helps.

[Just_Ice]

I play a bit of horngeek.

Yes, she doesn't have such a [goddess appearance] because to be very humble. :smallredface: Of the game, very important rule of GM was [no memory] and [no identity]. So she is very mortal-like character, to not think about divine.

Yes. [If mouth can be seen] is a common advice. However, it is usually radio or tv or music or CD player. Of course only way can be memorize word and grammar. English is very difficult.

Thank you! To see some of the comments, was there surprise of the themes of fire and fertility? I thought it was usual. :smallconfused:


Hmmm... it's not two aspects that tend to be associated with each other by people with a culture originating in Europe. It's one that makes sense when you think about it (volcanic soil, for example, is VERY fertile soil). I'll go into detail over PMs if you like.

Well, English and Japanese are from entirely different language groups, so that's not surprising.

You're still very good at it, though. :smallsmile:

[A Rainy Knight]

Thank you! To see some of the comments, was there surprise of the themes of fire and fertility? I thought it was usual. :smallconfused:

I thought it was an interesting pairing because I associate "fertility" with creation and "fire" with destruction, so it's not an obvious combination to me. It makes sense when I think of it more as a cycle of fire burning down to ash, which yields fertility for life to grow again.

I was thinking of it more like being a bun in the oven.

[Kasanip]

Sorry it is a long time of no posting. I have been busy with school, already it will be middle examinations again! I hope everyone doesn't become sick!

It has been difficult to draw, because I wasn't involved in [games] recently so much. Since mostly it is such an inspiration for me, it was absent. I think I will return to [Music sketch] soon.

Always my avatar used <green hair> because of a certain character. Actually because it was tried OOTS style avatar, and at such a time it was being used, character for VN project was designed for me. :smallredface:

Even if not to use for characters, I liked the sketches. Maybe more art of this game series will come.:smallsmile:


Angel and Armor


http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/30EB30AD30CA5F8C59294F7F_zpsa581aa44.jpg

This character's style was borrowed from several video games heroines liked by me. I wonder if all the influences can be seen easily? Currently to play this character in [Ironheart] series. Her name is Lukina.
Unlike normal Kasanip style to play [support character], I began to enjoy [heroine] characters last year very much. So I want to play more characters like this.

I mostly lurk on this thread, but since it was relevant to me I just wanted to pop in and say that that Lukina sketch is very impressive.

[Just_Ice]

Lukina is pretty cool! It's good to play support but it's nice to see you come out of your shell a bit and try to take centre stage! Have courage Kasanip, and valiantly slay evil!

Alsomaybedrawmorelukina

Hopefully you can get in some games soon!

[Illven]

Lukina reminds me of Lucina. Both wield Swords, both slay evil, there names are close together.

[Domochevsky]

Kasanip, one of these days we need to do some art together... there is something cute about your art that I need to explore the secrets of. Good stuff. :smallsmile:

[Tengu_temp]

Everyone keeps saying how cool Lukina is and I agree, but I also really like the post office witch with the strange-faced squirrel.

[horngeek]

Flora's beautiful, Lukina's badass, and the other two are cute. :smallbiggrin:

...*considers whether to ask you to draw Allina from the same game*

[Starsign]

I really like Lukina as well. She has a very nice design. :smallsmile:

I also tend to play support characters in most PbP games rather than actual main characters or leaders. Kasanip knows three of them already. There's really only one sort of "main hero" character I truly have, though he is one of my favorites. :smallbiggrin:

[A Rainy Knight]

This character's style was borrowed from several video games heroines liked by me. I wonder if all the influences can be seen easily? Currently to play this character in [Ironheart] series. Her name is Lukina.

When I look at it, the uniforms of the falcon knights from FE覚醒 come to mind. Which of course makes me think of a different ルキナ... :smallwink:

At any rate, it's certainly a cool design. And that witch really is cute.

[Kasanip]

I mostly lurk on this thread, but since it was relevant to me I just wanted to pop in and say that that Lukina sketch is very impressive.

Thank you very much! Thank you for looking at my pictures. :smallredface:

Thank you! Yes, I want to try to play more heroic characters. Recently it has been boring to make such a character.

I hope a game can be joined soon, too. However, it was realized that <recruitment> for most games is not liked by me. It is very difficult to coordinate with other players, to make sure classes are taken properly, to connect story. It seems every time is individual thinking only of self's character. "I want to play this!" "claimed this first!" and such a thing.


Lukina reminds me of Lucina. Both wield Swords, both slay evil, there names are close together.

Yes, her name is borrowed from that character. It wasn't known English spelling at the time character was created. :smallredface:

However, it should be said Lukina uses a sword, but usual weapon is a halberd. In the game, only her sword has been recovered, so it must be used for this picture, I thought.


Kasanip, one of these days we need to do some art together... there is something cute about your art that I need to explore the secrets of. Good stuff. :smallsmile:

Thank you! Of course I am happy to do some art together at anytime. However, I don't think there is even a secret about the lazy my scribbling. :smallredface:


Everyone keeps saying how cool Lukina is and I agree, but I also really like the post office witch with the strange-faced squirrel.

Yes, I like this character too. Sometime it would be nice to play this character. However, I must practice drawing squirrels.
Also, Kamome must not meet this character!


Flora's beautiful, Lukina's badass, and the other two are cute. :smallbiggrin:

...*considers whether to ask you to draw Allina from the same game*

Thank you! However, that design for Flora is still strange.

Thank you!

I want to say, I don't like to play [leader] characters. It's very difficult and stressful for me to try this in English. But I want to play more Heroine-like characters.
I think my favorite characters were such a support character who becomes heroine-like character.
I am very unskilled to play villain characters. TechnOkami and Starsign already know this. :smallredface:


When I look at it, the uniforms of the falcon knights from FE覚醒 come to mind. Which of course makes me think of a different ルキナ... :smallwink:

At any rate, it's certainly a cool design. And that witch really is cute.

Yes, it is some this reference of Falcon Knights.
Actually I like the designs very much and I am learning to draw armors from this game. However, other references are [Valkyria Chronicles], of Lukina's powers and halberd and undershirt.

Recruitment is definitely a pain. The issue of course is that people wait so long in between games that all they can remember is their cool character ideas that they would not otherwise get to play rather than how the party fits together. It's understandable but annoying that the best way to play what you want is to yell louder and quicker than everyone else.

That said, one needs to speak up for themself. If you are easily cowed, how might you play a character that rarely flinches in the face of evil?

Your best chance of course is to have one of these chuckleheads in this thread DM since I think most of us "get it".

[TechnOkami]

I am very unskilled to play villain characters. TechnOkami and Starsign already know this. :smallredface:

The only "Evil" character of yours I can honestly remember off of the top of my head is Eris, and even then she wasn't that evil. :smalltongue: its ok though, evil characters aren't my forte either (I start feeling like a douche bag whenever I start playing one).

[horngeek]

Yeah, I can't play evil characters convincingly either.

Maybe it's playing a character with a world view so unlike my own.

[Starsign]

Same, trying to play evil for me requires interest in playing such a character, a concept that I'd be willing to play, and a good heaping of support from other players, all at once. So far, I haven't found it and I don't know if I will until I improve my roleplaying skills some more.

[horngeek]

Oh, it's not even that- I fundamentally don't get the mindset that leads to a 'villain' character.

I could, maybe, play someone who takes extreme actions for a good cause. Otherwise? Nope.

[Just_Ice]

That's a bit silly, Horngeek. Do you mean to say you've never been in a situation where you wanted something so bad that you were willing to trample others, or would turn a blind eye on the plight caused by your actions? Never been bullied or teased to the extent where you thought up some very nasty revenge plots that would make your mother faint?

Evil characters think like that almost all of the time. Their lives have been shaped by thinking like that, thinking "me, me, me". Some of them realize that they do it and can turn it off when they try. Some of them are addicted; they either enjoy the thrill of being punished for evil or seeing others suffer (even if it's a guilty pleasure, they can't stop).

Some lack empathy, or don't understand that what they are doing is really wrong. They don't "get it" and feel when they're punished that they are a tragic hero. Some villains take the "survivalist" mindset or the "looking out for number one" mindset way too far.

Very rarely there is a villain who has never once paid for their crimes. They make believe they are divinely blessed or even a god among men, or just not understand that their own actions can have lasting consequences and therefore don't think too hard about such things.

That's the basics.

[Prime32]

Yes, I like this character too. Sometime it would be nice to play this character. However, I must practice drawing squirrels.You could just cheat and say that animals are different in her world, or that it's a magic squirrel. :smalltongue: (just look at Hiro Mashima's "dog" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rave_Volume_1.jpg))


It is very difficult to coordinate with other players, to make sure classes are taken properly, to connect story.Could you rephrase that? The part about classes, I mean. As for story, the traditional start to a D&D campaign is "You are complete strangers all sitting in the same tavern, when a mysterious person stands up and says they want to hire some adventurers."

Recruitment is definitely a pain. The issue of course is that people wait so long in between games that all they can remember is their cool character ideas that they would not otherwise get to play rather than how the party fits together. It's understandable but annoying that the best way to play what you want is to yell louder and quicker than everyone else.This depends on how specific the premise is, and how much it restricts the kinds of characters that would fit.

Most GMs, particularly for D&D, just say "play anything". Part of this is because D&D classes, feats, etc. have some fluff built-in, which stays the same in any game of D&D you play. Plus character-building in D&D feels more like a puzzle, so a player can feel proud of something they put together well, and want to show it off. In a game like M&M you have to do most of the description yourself, which makes it harder to get attached to a build.

Then you have games like FATE (including Dresden Files RPG), where your character description is the biggest part of your abilities, and part of character-building is writing your history with other members of the group.


[evil stuff]I've heard good things about Way of the Wicked (www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=9461).

Recruitment is definitely a pain. The issue of course is that people wait so long in between games that all they can remember is their cool character ideas that they would not otherwise get to play rather than how the party fits together. It's understandable but annoying that the best way to play what you want is to yell louder and quicker than everyone else.

I think it is a little of cultural difference, too. However, it is correct that to join forum games is a competition. So to enter, players much fight each other to make party together. It's not a good system, I think. The only time it is successful is if all players [accommodate] the same theme.



That said, one needs to speak up for themself. If you are easily cowed, how might you play a character that rarely flinches in the face of evil?

If you selfishly only think about your character construction, how might you play a character who works together in a party?


The only "Evil" character of yours I can honestly remember off of the top of my head is Eris, and even then she wasn't that evil. :smalltongue: its ok though, evil characters aren't my forte either (I start feeling like a douche bag whenever I start playing one).

Yes, Eris is such an example. Somehow became a heroine character. The alchemist of Far the Atelier was another villain, but not remembered even by players who participated. :smallredface:


You could just cheat and say that animals are different in her world, or that it's a magic squirrel. :smalltongue: (just look at Hiro Mashima's "dog" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rave_Volume_1.jpg))

Yes, probably it will be such a comic style.


Could you rephrase that? The part about classes, I mean.

For example, Dungeons&Dragons is usual style of party is to have [Wizard, Fighter, Rogue, Cleric]. Of course it can be changed the classes and such, but roles of such a class should be filled.

To use example, Night Wizard! (http://www.fear.co.jp/nw/) divides such a [role] and [class], to have [Defender],[Attacker],[Healer],[Caster]. So class can be chosen and role still chosen.
It seems Pathfinder uses such an [archetype] for this purpose sometimes.
However it is seen often of any game type sometimes other players refuse necessary class.

Often of Fire Emblem forum game it is <Cleric>, for example.


As for story, the traditional start to a D&D campaign is "You are complete strangers all sitting in the same tavern, when a mysterious person stands up and says they want to hire some adventurers." (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAllMeetInAnInn), so...

Most GMs, particularly for D&D, just say "play anything". Part of this is because D&D classes, feats, etc. have some fluff built-in, which stays the same in any game of D&D you play.

Then you have games like FATE (including Dresden Files RPG), where your character description is the biggest part of your abilities, and part of character-building is writing your history with other members of the group.

Creation of personal data should happen and relate to the group. The GM's duty is to help prepare and accommodate such a process. However, it is true that Dungeons&Dragons and Pathfinder has no mechanism for this purpose.

[horngeek]

It is a bit of a problem with recruitment on this forum. I think the major problem is that with most games, the GM and players don't already know each other, either IC or OOC.

So, you either have to admit players based on a 'first come, first served' basis or based on who writes characters the GM likes the most, both of which have an element of competition. It's the biggest thing I don't like about PbP games, truth be told.

On Evil Characters: I'll note I don't particularly want to get into the mindset required for an evil character either.

[memnarch]

Whoa hello, there are some sketches here that I missed.

Sorry it is a long time of no posting. I have been busy with school, already it will be middle examinations again! I hope everyone doesn't become sick!

It has been difficult to draw, because I wasn't involved in [games] recently so much. Since mostly it is such an inspiration for me, it was absent. I think I will return to [Music sketch] soon. Does this mean you are wanting music links or that you will be sketching to music that you have been listening to and then sharing both music and art with us?


Witch

It can be clearly seen I don't know how to draw squirrel. :smallredface: However, I think this costume is cute. She is a Post Office Witch.
The squirrel looks like a ghost or something. Perfect for a witch. :smallbiggrin:


Zelda's Legend character constructions


http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/30D530ED30E94E8C756A_zpsc5d8aee3.jpg
Sketch trying of character <Flora>. I should try again soon.

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/30B330AD30EA30AB30B5_zps9d6fa76e.jpg

Always my avatar used <green hair> because of a certain character. Actually because it was tried OOTS style avatar, and at such a time it was being used, character for VN project was designed for me. :smallredface:

Even if not to use for characters, I liked the sketches. Maybe more art of this game series will come.:smallsmile:
First sketch/drawing looks nice, second one could use some more shading or darker lines for the plants at the bottom.


Angel and Armor


http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/30EB30AD30CA5F8C59294F7F_zpsa581aa44.jpg

This character's style was borrowed from several video games heroines liked by me. I wonder if all the influences can be seen easily? Currently to play this character in [Ironheart] series. Her name is Lukina.
Unlike normal Kasanip style to play [support character], I began to enjoy [heroine] characters last year very much. So I want to play more characters like this. This drawing is very nicely done.

[TechnOkami]

Yes, Eris is such an example. Somehow became a heroine character. The alchemist of Far the Atelier was another villain, but not remembered even by players who participated. :smallredface:

:smallconfused: I remembered that...

[Mina Kobold]

If you selfishly only think about your character construction, how might you play a character who works together in a party?

Usually, people do take the rest of the party's choices into consideration, but only thinking about one's own character doesn't necessarily mean that the party doesn't work together. In many games, the fact that the characters are individuals and are not made only to maximise the teamwork provides the basis for the role-playing.

In other words, making a character without the team in mind means that the team has to think about how to use their strengths and work together despite their weaknesses. :smallsmile:


For example, Dungeons&Dragons is usual style of party is to have [Wizard, Fighter, Rogue, Cleric]. Of course it can be changed the classes and such, but roles of such a class should be filled.

To use example, Night Wizard! (http://www.fear.co.jp/nw/) divides such a [role] and [class], to have [Defender],[Attacker],[Healer],[Caster]. So class can be chosen and role still chosen.
It seems Pathfinder uses such an [archetype] for this purpose sometimes.
However it is seen often of any game type sometimes other players refuse necessary class.

Those are the basic guidelines, but they are not required to be filled. Since the game has a DM, who controls what obstacles the party faces, a game can be made to fit the style that the players have, rather than having to fit to one particular style. If the party consist of rogues and wizards, the game may focus on intrigue and stealth, while a party with mostly fighters may focus on warfare and battle.

However, most parties still have members who can fill the roles to an extend. A rogue has the best abilities for sneaking and lock-picking, but everybody can learn those skills to a degree, for example. Considering how many games have more than four players, there will usually be someone in the team who can fill every role if they need it.

If you want to play a game that focusses on filling out the roles and balancing the team, that can certainly be done and many DMs will be happy to have such a game, however. It's just that D&D does not require anyone to stick to a predetermined model if they don't want to. :smallsmile:


Creation of personal data should happen and relate to the group. The GM's duty is to help prepare and accommodate such a process. However, it is true that Dungeons&Dragons and Pathfinder has no mechanism for this purpose.

That would be because they are not made to do that. The games are not based on the characters having to have personal data that relates to each other at all. Often, the characters start as strangers, meeting for the first time and having to work together for a common goal despite not having personal data that relates them to each other. They can be related, though, and that is also a good way to play. It's just not the only way. :smallsmile:

EDIT: Apologies for rambling about Dungeons & Dragons. m(_ _)m I didn't have much to add about your art that had not been said. They are all amazing, particularly the Legend of Zelda* ones and Lukina. :smallsmile:

*I guess I could add that the games are named Legend of Zelda in English? Sorry! m(_ _)m

[Prime32]

For example, Dungeons&Dragons is usual style of party is to have [Wizard, Fighter, Rogue, Cleric]. Of course it can be changed the classes and such, but roles of such a class should be filled.

It seems Pathfinder uses such an [archetype] for this purpose sometimes.
However it is seen often of any game type sometimes other players refuse necessary class.

Often of Fire Emblem forum game it is <Cleric>, for example. That's how D&D was supposed to work, but it doesn't really work that way. For example:

Fighters are supposed to provide leadership, spot enemies approaching, and defend their allies from attack, but they don't actually get any abilities which let them do so. (there are other classes which do)
Most of D&D's healing spells are ridiculously weak. In videogame RPGs combat is long, and there are spells which can restore 100% of a character's hp. In D&D combat usually lasts 3-4 turns, while enemies inflict damage twice as fast as it can be healed. The person with healing abilities would be helping more if they did other things in combat, and only healed between fights (or in emergencies). Or you could just use wands and potions for healing.

Basically, none of the classes are really necessary, just traditional. And it's possible to make almost any class fill any role, though some require more effort than others. Eg. if a spellcaster specialises in summoning, binding and barrier spells ("battlefield control"), then he'll be much better at defending his allies than a fighter. The crusader class is mostly a fighter type, but when he attacks an enemy it heals his nearby allies.

And as Keveak said, an unusual party composition just means you can run a game with a different focus. It's hard to run an intrigue-based game with a traditional party because fighter types often have poor stealth and social skills, so their player will be left out. Likewise you could run a game set in a wizard college, where everyone plays a spellcasting class.

[Just_Ice]

There's a difference between being selfish and being assertive. If you keep quiet every time, and you accept that it's a bit of a race for roles, it's silly to complain. You can speak up (often giving a couple options) without necessarily being selfish.

As for the evil mindset, it's very useful to have a number of tools in your repertoire, especially in the case of being a DM or GM.

[Kasanip]

Whoa hello, there are some sketches here that I missed.
Does this mean you are wanting music links or that you will be sketching to music that you have been listening to and then sharing both music and art with us?

My meaning was both! When there is little motivation, I will try to use songs or suggestions. Of course if viewers have suggestions and requests and such, please offer freely. :smallredface:


The squirrel looks like a ghost or something. Perfect for a witch. :smallbiggrin:

Thank you for the advice. It was wondered if to paint this second sketch. It is true [line balance] is very poor in the sketch.


:smallconfused: I remembered that...

Maybe the scenario is remembered, but the villain probably wasn't, I think. If TechnOkami remembers his name, I will be surprised and happy. :smallredface:


Sorry, to respond to all of Dungeons&Dragons comment was tiring. I want to talk in this thread more often.

When reading Dungeons&Dragons comments, it seemed different scenario like <non-standard play> were used. However, my comments were about <standard play>. :smallredface:


Usually, people do take the rest of the party's choices into consideration, but only thinking about one's own character doesn't necessarily mean that the party doesn't work together. In many games, the fact that the characters are individuals and are not made only to maximise the teamwork provides the basis for the role-playing.

Yes, I agree. However, my expression was opposing to Just_Ice's comment. To accuse not assertive people to be cowardly is not fair, too. Maybe I could be more assertive, it is true. However, it doesn't mean I can't play heroic character if I want. Like this, selfish people maybe can play teamwork in a party. It is difference of reality and fiction, isn't it?


Those are the basic guidelines, but they are not required to be filled. Since the game has a DM, who controls what obstacles the party faces, a game can be made to fit the style that the players have, rather than having to fit to one particular style.

Of course non-standard play is possible. However, mechanisms of Dungeons&Dragons seems to make this difficult. I am not an expert of Dungeons&Dragons, but <CR system> seems strict about how GM constructs challenge for party. Non-standard play is possible, but it is more difficult for GM, I think.

I understand of course any character can be created in such a system. Because personal data is not included, it can be envisioned easily one's own concept. It is not bad.
However, also it is not helpful, I think. Always the player characters must relate to each other. Maybe they are friends, maybe they are strangers. But there must be connection and reasons for unite as a group. If this cannot be agreed upon, team doesn't work. Game system does not help this stage.


That's how D&D was supposed to work, but it doesn't really work that way. For example:

Fighters are supposed to provide leadership, spot enemies approaching, and defend their allies from attack, but they don't actually get any abilities which let them do so. (there are other classes which do)

The crusader class is mostly a fighter type, but when he attacks an enemy it heals his nearby allies.


The explanation of Prime32 was [contradiction]. Somehow I think Prime32 is agreeing with what I said? Even if class is different, roles must be filled. If party of fighters, for Dungeons&Dragons it means potions or wands are necessary at sometime. This probably means [Craft] and [Use Magic Device] skills are necessary. Maybe [Disable Device] and [Knowledge:] skills are necessary too. Also such equipment should be bought. If the selfish players don't think about this, it will be trouble. Fighter who uses [Cure] wands is <Healer>, Fighter who uses greatsword is <Attacker>, Fighter with shield is <Defender>, etc.


And as Keveak said, an unusual party composition just means you can run a game with a different focus. It's hard to run an intrigue-based game with a traditional party because fighter types often have poor stealth and social skills, so their player will be left out. Likewise you could run a game set in a wizard college, where everyone plays a spellcasting class.

This is perspective that players decide style of campaign. Of course in usual reality games, players and GM cooperate about this decision. I think that is good. Many infinities of styles can be done this way. However, most forum threads started by GMs is recruitment for game concept already created.



There's a difference between being selfish and being assertive. If you keep quiet every time, and you accept that it's a bit of a race for roles, it's silly to complain. You can speak up (often giving a couple options) without necessarily being selfish.

You are correct that if nothing is said a cooperation cannot happen. The example of often giving a couple of options is tried to do for such a game. However, it is rarely seen other players try this.

[TechnOkami]

There's something about sketchdumps that I like. Also, I spy a little Chanda drawing in there, very cute. I'm actually rather sad that I can't bring her to life, but alas, it's been very difficult having to try and roleplay her.

[Mina Kobold]

Those are all amazing, Kasanip. The squirrel may not look overly realistic, but it is quite adorable and everything else is so well drawn that I have no idea where to begin. All I can say is that you drew every single piece very well and have amazing versatility with them. :smallsmile:

[mistformsquirrl]

Those are all outstanding Kasanip - you draw like I want to draw heh; great stuff.

The catgirl with the robotic arm I particularly like because she kinda reminds me of my OC, Yumi.*

As Keveak notes - the squirrel is adorable, it makes me want to hug it. Granted I love squirrels to begin with so maybe I'm a tad biased there...

Err, point of all this is "you do good work".

*Yumi lacks a robot arm, but otherwise it's a fairly similar character model; needless to say, I like!

[Vulion]

Kasanip you continue to impress.

[memnarch]

Nice batch of sketches there. Do you draw them all on separate pieces of paper and then compile later on the computer?


Also, holy crap a Vulion. Haven't seen you in awhile.

[A Rainy Knight]

That's some really impressive variety. The squirrel is cute, of course, but I like Kasa the English Teacher too. :smallbiggrin:

[Starsign]

They're all indeed great Kasanip. Do such sketches don't generally take long? :smallsmile:

[Tengu_temp]

Cute sketches. I especially like the witch in the upper right corner who seems to be talking about something really serious, and the green-haired girl. And the squirrels.

[Just_Ice]

Awesome set. Gotta love teacher kasa and the bottom left. Are they sneaking or playing leapfrog? The world may never know!

I don't like this style of show sketch very much.:smallredface: However, it can be said other style is arrogantly showed. I want to make some complete pictures, but there is only a little time. Also, a new HD must be bought, because it became full. However, I don't know when it can be bought.

Thank you! However this type of cat-like character is [Lynks] race. :smallredface: Arm is not robot. It's called [Ie=ga device]:


While the tool-belt is the standard of equipment for humans, the Lynks use a set of technological devices built in arrangement to be accessed easily on the arms. Like a tool-belt, it contains many useful items under an ornate and decorated lightweight mithril armor that can even defend against small arms bullets. Using yesod crystal resonance field, the Ie=ga can store small items in such a [pocket dimension], making such a pocket on uniform unnecessary.

The clothing style of Lynks is to for [practical use]. Often to be [accentuate form] style, it is to allow agile and flexibility. It can be said that cultural difference, and not embarrassing, but maybe surprising for other races. Such a uniform is to also be crystal resonance and mithral weave, and to take 200 hours to make. It can be said to be the best [Light Armor] in the world.

Because Lynks soldier has such a strong equipment and training, it is not surprising why they were a terrifying world power.

Other lynks pictures

Thank you! It is long time no see. It is a little embarrassing that only a little work was finished since that time. :smallredface:


Nice batch of sketches there. Do you draw them all on separate pieces of paper and then compile later on the computer?

All of these sketches use the computer. :smallredface: It is rare to show real sketchbook pictures.


That's some really impressive variety. The squirrel is cute, of course, but I like Kasa the English Teacher too. :smallbiggrin:

Thank you! Yes, I have to study for TOEIC test for purpose of [teaching license]. If it can be passed, I can use this avatar is my hope. To be GTM [Great Teacher Mir]. :smallredface:


They're all indeed great Kasanip. Do such sketches don't generally take long? :smallsmile:

Thank you! Yes, because most it is music sketching, probably it takes about 5 minutes. If song is repeated, it takes about 10 minutes.


Cute sketches. I especially like the witch in the upper right corner who seems to be talking about something really serious, and the green-haired girl. And the squirrels.


Yes, it is Eris who is always this kind of [cross] type witch. Even if she is [sorcerer] type, nickname was [the white witch] (because she has white hair). Probably she would not like squirrels, I think.

Green haired girl is character design, however it is not decided. Somehow the mood of the game cannot be understood, so style cannot be chosen.


Awesome set. Gotta love teacher kasa and the bottom left. Are they sneaking or playing leapfrog? The world may never know!

Actually it was thought [driving a car], because Lynks are only good at speed and flying vehicle. Probably it is very dangerous and comedy to watch.:smallredface:

[TechnOkami]

Also, a new HD must be bought, because it became full. However, I don't know when it can be bought.

What's a HD? I don't understand the acronym as anything other than "High Definition".

[horngeek]

Hard Drive, I think.

...out of interest, how many GB do you have on your hard drive, Kasanip?

[Kasanip]

It has 106 GB.

I am studying for TOEIC test. Test is 23/6/2013, so it is becoming close. It is necessary for me to make high score to become an English teacher. Thanks to OOTS members, I have learned very much here. Especially thank you for longtime friends. It became this test is near 4 years to participate OOTS.

However, because I must do my best, a vacation will be taken.

Good luck kasanip! I'm sure you're going to ace it, you're used to write stories and proses in RP already after all. I never took TOEIC test, but I took TOEFL tests, and I think getting used to using and hearing the language is more useful than knowing the theories.

Hello everyone! It is a long time, no see. :smallredface:
Thank you everyone for warm support and messages.
Finally examinations have been finished! It was a vacation because of TOEIC test, but after such a test, it was final examinations time for school semester.

TOEIC result can be known on 23rd or 24th of July, so it is a waiting time with worried nervousness.

How are you?

It can be said because of examinations, only a little drawing could be made.

Character design

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/30A830A430EF30EB30B930F3_zpsf6f42fd8.jpg

Trying to design new character for a game, many ideas were tried. Final design can be seen color.
It wasn't thought, but to use Kamome-like hair color again.

[Ascaloth]

お帰り、カサちゃん！ We missed you! :smallbiggrin:

I'm sure you'll do just fine on your TOEIC test, so don't worry about it! There's still a week or so to go before you know your results anyway, so don't be too concerned about it for now, and enjoy the time while you can. :smallwink:

Who's the new character? :smallsmile:

[Just_Ice]

Dat Victorian-era hat

Good to see you again, rock that TOEIC!

[Starsign]

Great to see you back Kasanip! :smallbiggrin: I'd say don't worry too much about waiting for the results of the TOEIC and just do the things you love to take your mind off it. :smallsmile:

Your sketches are as great as always. I recognize Non and Mystletinn quite well.

Who's the new character? :smallsmile:

Thank you! Everyone was missed, too. :smallredface:
New character is being made for [dieselpunk] game.
She is [Dream Hunter] (夢使い), member of [BA9 Organization] (I like pun, but maybe it cannot translate for English). Such organization is to protect [Reverse World] and [Mortal World]. But usually she is a student at Magical Academy. Her power uses [Lunar Veil] clothes, [Dream Gloves] and ability of shadow magic. Maybe a little like [Shadowdancer] class.

It can be seen a little in sketch different ideas.
Originally character making was [S-Rank Thief] who was cursed by [mummy] to youth. It was inspired by [White Fox] character from Fri's 2011 game (http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/564222i76.jpg). However, already there are [adventurer] and [magic curse] character. Maybe it was similar to Eris, too.

Appearance was decided, but she cannot be related to other player characters somehow. Unfortunately the game theme wasn't approached properly by me, so probably concept can't be used.


Dat Victorian-era hat

Good to see you again, rock that TOEIC!

Thank you! I don't know if it is Victorian-era hat. It was seen for old uniform designs, and it was cute.

However, time period of game is supposed to be [Dieselpunk], so perhaps that is such a similar period. Of character, she is such an [old-fashioned] type, probably. Or thinks such a hat is cute.

I think of designing characters, always there must be one accessory to make character appear more interesting. Also it is easy to explain "why is such OO valuable treasure?"

Often it is chosen the head for me. For example Kamome (goggle headset), Eris (accessories), Non (bow ponytail), Mystletinn (compass rose sword seal), Yfa Keter Ain (Cat Ear and Radio).

Even old characters like Tomoya (forehead seal), Hazuki (三角頭巾) and Momo (hair clip).
Maybe unusual exception is Mir. However, [artifact] is [book], so it is important for that game. :smallredface:


Great to see you back Kasanip! :smallbiggrin: I'd say don't worry too much about waiting for the results of the TOEIC and just do the things you love to take your mind off it. :smallsmile:

Your sketches are as great as always. I recognize Non and Mystletinn quite well.

Thank you!
Yes, Non and Mystletinn are easy to recognize in Bukiya Inn uniform. Such happy-go-lucky pair were very fun to play.

After long vacation it is difficult to return to forum habits. :smallredface:

[A Rainy Knight]

Glad to have you back, Kasanip! It's always a pleasure to see your new character designs.

[memnarch]

I hope you did well on your exams!

The little bubble things on the squirrel's face just below the eyes look rather strange.

Ooooo, some color! Did you sketch these at this small resolution or shrink them to fit? If you shrunk them, it would be nice to see them bigger. :smallsmile:

[Kasanip]

Glad to have you back, Kasanip! It's always a pleasure to see your new character designs.

Thank you! :smallredface: I like to design characters.


I hope you did well on your exams!

Nicely sketched :smallsmile:, though the music isn't available in the USA. :smallfrown:

Thank you! Sorry, it can't be known region's situation. Please try another link: It is cover of the song of 『ナユタ』 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuhJmVyAu-M)


The little bubble things on the squirrel's face just below the eyes look rather strange.

Fundamentally squirrel is strange. It is deplorable. :smallfrown:

It can be seen design was too [SF].

Thief
http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/30B730FC30D5_zpsbb57b009.jpg
Such an S-Rank thief. However, does not approach theme of game.

Thief 2
http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/30C930EA30CF30F3_zps0b75c332.jpg
Eris impact is too much.

BA9 Member [Puppeteer]
http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/7A7A4EBA5F62_zpsde1b8fae.jpg
It is not theme of game, and clothing style is incorrect. However, some design is liked.

Somehow reminds of Tsukumonogatari characters. It can be said it is not theme of game. However, some usual design idea can be seen.

BA9 Member [Shadowdancer]
http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/7670830B730E330C930A630C030F330B5FF12_zps12a48b08. jpg
It became close to theme. However, it became too heavy. To play such a style is too overreach.

[Fri]

Glad to see you back, kasanip! I want to draw you some picture, but apparently, after not being used for a year, my graphic tablet broke...

[Jotunheim]

I really like your work. There is something very light and floaty about the japanese drawing esthetic when done right that I really enjoy but could never really pull off myself. You've got some really excellent fundementals :)
Looking back at your first art thread you've also made some great leaps and bounds in your line values as well as the physical precense and organic perspective of your characters. I too would like to see some more color work from you, but if there's no time for that, this being sketchbook thing, that's completely understandable :)

[Kasanip]

Finally the results of TOEIC test came.


http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/umbrellako2/30C730AD30BF_zps6fa6e17a.jpg
The ranking of Blue was achieved, with score of 760 points, so it was just barely achieved!

I am very happy, because such a score is necessary to become an English Teacher. So, my future dream can be realized! :smallsmile::smallsmile:

It can be said that such a difficult goal was chased by me for a long time. There were many suffering days and times, and to experience somehow internationally with OOTS friends those moments of recent years.

Somehow, this [sketchbook] is more like [diary] after this fashion. However, maybe paint and sketch of emotions, it is such a record of happiness and sadness and pain and hope. Can such a record of changing [child] to [adult] be read in this fashion?

It is a pensive thought. Of course there are a lot of mistakes, and I am embarrassed.:smallredface:

However, there is a lot of pride for me, too.
It must be said, such achievement could not happen without the time of OOTS, and support and help of OOTS friends. Thank you very much for your always support. :smallsmile:

Now it is a summer vacation. After with all of my heart studying during June and examinations of July, there was no taking it easy. Listening leisurely to fan humming and cicada crying and staring at the four walls. Suddenly pen of the tablet became too heavy to hold properly.

Hooray! I'm glad that things turned out well for you after all of your hard work. お疲れ様でした！ :smallbiggrin:

I really like that colored sketch. It's like I can feel a weight lifting off my own shoulders just looking at it.

[Fri]

That's great news, Kasanip! 780 is a good score! I never took TOEIC personally, but I took TOEFL, so I knew that you must be able to do it, with how your english is here! Hopefully, you be a good english teacher!

And is that a picture of evasion skill from DnD? That reminds me, do you know that if you're lucky you can evade a fireball explosion even if you're in a box? Haha, I wonder how can it be visualized.

Lucina needs her sword :smalltongue:

Is the bottom right character on untitled sketches, Priam from awakening?

[Mina Kobold]

Congratulations, Kasanip. Sounds like the tests shows how amazing you are. Hope being a teacher will be fun. ^_^

Very much like the sketches. They show the movement and emotions of the characters very well and look very well done. Particularly the final piece is very impressive. Love how the colouring is used. :smallsmile:

おめでとう、カサちゃん！Your efforts over the last few years will give you a bright future to look forward to, I'm sure. :smallwink:

Pretty good, but there's that odd bit above the nose that sort of looks like another nose almost. I'd also recommend using darker lines to make the hair more distinct so it stands out against the domino mask.

Your english here seems a bit rough, but it's pretty good. Also, those cicadas sound a bit harsh; I like the sound of rain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p-E70Xo8wM). If it loads, here's (http://rain.nxe7.com/) a looping version of the rain link with a nice song as well.

[kamikasei]

Congratulations, Kasanip!

[Terraoblivion]

Congratulations.

Also, the Evasion picture makes me think of Touhou. I know that it's not actually of any Touhou character, but it reminds me of someone anyway. Nitori, I think.

Yes, it is [Evasion] skill from DUNGEONS&DRAGONS. Somehow idea of [Shadowdancer] class was very interesting recently. Of course when standing in shadows, anything can be evaded.


She looks equally distressed as she's annoyed.

And congratulations on your test results! I'm happy that you'll be able to achieve your dreams.
Yes, it would be annoying and stressful for evasion, even for an expert! Thank you very much. :smallsmile:

Pretty good, but there's that odd bit above the nose that sort of looks like another nose almost. I'd also recommend using darker lines to make the hair more distinct so it stands out against the domino mask.
Yes, it has some unusual style of the mask. Because I don't know how to draw masks, it was done mediocrely.

Very nice hair on this one. :smallsmile: Her right hand seems a bit undefined though. Perhaps draw the other fingerless glove here since her fingers could be curled back?
Yes, it was music sketch, so must be finished in 10 minutes. If it was to be finished, I think that hand should be finished, too. :smallredface:


Pretty good for small sketches; is that Saria from the Zelda universe I spy there? :smallcool:
Yes, always that game and a certain character are appearing sometimes in my sketchbook. I don't know why it was drawn.


Probably the best black/white sketch in this batch; I can't think of anything to recommend besides adding more background things. :smallbiggrin:
Yes, there isn't a background for this sketch. Just thinking of character design.


Her legs seem to be a bit twisted, and the left leg seems like it's being almost squished into itself.

Being short character is always cute and interesting.

Fire Dancer Api-Niyap: Still this character's purpose and direction are aimless.

Madeline: There was comment of party must eat dog. If it was Madeline's culture, of course it is ok. But it was strange.

Somehow it's horrific, too. :smallredface:

Neu: Playing Acanous' Pathfinder game, finally I can try it on OOTS forum. :smallredface: Neu is Lynks-like [Barbarian] class.

Original design it was said is like [Rogue] or [Ninja], but of course Lynks fighting ability is famous, also their armor.

Some sketch were drawn during travel, but not on PC.

Maybe it is a nostalgic TRPG feeling.

So... lazy is good?

Alas, summer is not eternal. I hope you've enjoyed yours, Kasa.

Your new avatar is really funny, who is she?

Anyway, I haven't drawn anything for a very long time, that my art thread has drowned already, but I just drew something about you, kasanip.

Amy from Suisei No Gargantia reminded me of Kamome a lot. Back then when I was watching it I had a dream where I live in Gargantia as a NEET, with my brother who works as a dentist, and for some reason, Kamome/Kasanip works there as a doctor. It's a strange dream.

I hadn't drawn anything for a very long time, but I want to start drawing again.
