Miggs' Sketches

[Miggs]

Thanks y'all.

For some reason, tissues are a thing I just like to include in my drawings. It implies...several things, really, that and me being a sneeze fetishist, I like to think the characters always kinda have some near them :p

You are yourself. People have seen tissues in your drawings for years now. Do not feel bad for drawing something you like! =) Plus what you said makes sense. I know a ton of people that keep tissues or handkerchiefs near them or on themselves at all times.

Some people have made alternate accounts specifically for sneezy things on tumblr to make it easier for them to post what they enjoy without fear.

Thank you for showing what you draw =) I enjoy your characters and the things you do, sneezy and non-sneezy.

I've debated making an alt account, but there's really no real reason in it at this point.

I one day hope for another Bioshock game. One that isn't...fuckin dumb and actually feels like Bioshock.

So I got bored and doodled a Big Sister from the second game. It's not that done nor is it that detailed (mainly in the...collar...area...thing. The chest piece under the helmet.) but I don't plan on finishing it. I just did it cuz I was bored.

Nicely done.  I've never played those games, but did they become dumb to you?

Just the third one, Bioshock Infinite. The original Bioshock and its sequel are excellent, though.

Mini Rant
Not to sound pretentious, but the first games had a bit of a sort of a...philosophical outlook on creating a society and the consequences from straying from the typical foundation of one as well as implementing the concept of genetic modification INTO that society.
Infinite takes place way before the first two games, where honestly I feel those concepts could have been tackled MUCH harder, along with other different things going on in the 1910s era. Gameplay wise, the game's pretty alright, but it's not as "free" as the first two. While all three games are relatively linear, Infinite kind of just played like a typical first person shooter at the time.

And then there's a lotta crap towards the end of the game involving some stupid crap that really kinda came out of nowhere and yadda yadda.
All three games kind of jump the shark in a sense, but Infinite does it the most and the worst. Or best? Basically there's a lot of crap in Infinite.
Mini Rant Over

Most of my personal complaints about the game come from a more gameplay perspective with a bit of a focus on certain topics that I wish could have been in the game. I've a friend who hates the game much more than just a gameplay perspective, and I can totally see where he's coming from. I don't HATE the game, I just wish it wasn't a Bioshock game.

Looks legit, Miggs.  

I agree with your sentiment.

[Anyponedrawn]

I never played the games, but this is cool looking.  Looks like an old timer scuba suit.

I like the lines you did for her helmet =) Your words on the Bioshock games are well written too. I haven't played any of the games but I understand what you wrote and it helped me understand the series a little bit.

[Silverwing]

Did a good job on the lines.  I am always impressed with how smooth your lines are.  I've watched you draw but could never determine if the program you use auto-straightens your lines or not.  My program does not.

[Miggs]

It doesn't auto straighten, but it has a stabilizer. The higher the stabilizer number, the more it kind of controls the smoothness, I guess. Like, if the stabilizer is set to 0, then whatever you do, the input is straight from you, no actual help. If it's at a number greater than 0, it does a bit of help, gives the cursor a slight delay. That slight delay helps incredibly with smoothness.

Although the even higher numbers make the delay INSANE. Links lead to gifs of examples I did.

Stabilizer 0

Stabilizer 5

Sabilizer 13 (What I personally use)

Stabilizer S-1

Stabilizer S-7

^ Wow, thanks for that detailed little show you made for us there explaining it all.  Cheers!

I made a Silent Hill-eque monster based around my character.

For anyone that's not familiar with the concept of Silent Hill:
Basically it's a haunted town that fucks with your mind and creates monsters that represent different negative parts of your psyche.

An example being the Nurses. Here's what they symbolize in the case of Silent Hill 2.
[spoiler]The Bubble Head Nurse is a result of severe anxiety in James over Mary's terminal illness, along with the sexual deprivation that resulted and his difficulty in dealing with both. The highly sexualized figures of the nurses are created to further James's anxiety. Nurse's head symbolizes suffocated swollen Mary's head.[/spoiler]

Different creatures have different aspects about them that symbolize different things about the person, so yeah.

[Binkyt11]

Damn... That is an amazing design, but goddammit the story behind her is sad as hell.

[Miggs]

Then that means I did a good job, I think. I'd say it's fitting for the likes of that sad town.

[Anyponedrawn]

That monster is terrifying.  You did a great job on it.
