Wayfinder 2 and Steelcurse - Art tutorials?

Hey everyone, first I wanna say thank you for the kind words and good advice. Regardless if it was kind or not. =P And thanks to Newgrounds for frontpaging Steelcurse even though I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea.

I've had some great advice and I'll put it to good use. The reason I released both games at the same time is that I'm taking a break from flash game creation. I haven't been able to find sponsors for the last three or four games, and it is too time consuming so I'll be trying to find work elsewhere. I'm sure I'll make a game or two a year still though, because it is fun to make them. And there are still a few games I've worked on that haven't been released yet, so those will come out eventually too.

I fixed several errors in both Steelcurse and Wayfinder 2. Most notably the sitelock. D: I'm so daft.
Thanks guys.

I've also been thinking of making some flash art tutorials. Not 'Flash art' but art tutorials in flash. I get a lot of art related pms. What do you guys think, would it be a waste of time? I know there are quite a few on here already. Would they even get used, if so what would you like to see? Just me pondering.

I like tutorials~ I love the visual effects you use for your games that lend to the atmosphere~

Thanks, I'll think about that. It's mostly me faking stuff I do in photoshop for normal digital paintings.

I wouldn't say there is a lot of art tutorials.
It's either a site devoted to traditional drawing/painting or a couple of videos explaining different features in Flash.

So no worries there.

Sounds nice, although Helbereth had something similar known as the Big Fat Tutorial. By the way, what did you think of my sketchbook thread on ConceptArt.org. (Just curious)

That's a shame. Well I hope in the future, or near, that you'll either find more work or someone who will definitely sponsor you. I love your art and your games.

Good luck, Hyptosis!

Thanks, I'll still do this for fun no doubt. Just not as frequently. Once I find new steady work.

I would LOVE an art tutorial, especially by you, your Alice is Dead work is REALLY inspirational so I'd be elated to see anything you're willing to share with us!

Hey, man, if you made any art tutorials, I'd be sure as hell to take whatever wise teachings you have under belt. Love the style you have and style, and your games remain some of my favourites to this day - shame that you couldn't find a sponsor, but that's how it is.

Anyway, good luck with whatever you do, and those games took up a large chunk of my time. I should write a review or something.

Never a waste of time to generate a flash-based FAQ of sorts to shut your adoring fans up a little bit. It's also a great way to keep abreast on how flash programming works. My brother Helbereth created an art and visual-oriented tutorial that still gets feedback today. While it might not be totally necessary, some free instruction can go a long way in solidifying good relations with your fans.

Steelcurse was a harsh reconnoiter with the old school that fails to leave my memory. Being that the art direction was more than stellar, I suppose that's a good thing. And it's also the indicator that your possible instruction in the arts will be a learned one. I can think of nobody better suited to such a task.
