    What Peris said. If a book is originally in English, i'll try to find an English edition. And yes, it's as easy as reading Dutch. Most movies and half the series on Dutch TV are in English so i pretty much grew up with it. I try to read a German or French book too every once in a while. My French isn't as good but i can understand it all, but i probably miss a few details, like the meaning of choosing one word instead of it's synomyn. Reading German is like reading English or Dutch for me as well. I used to read Latin as well but it's been a few years so i'm not sure if i still could.

    For some reason it reminds me of Supertimor, which is good!

    The Germans used to fight amongst themselves so some Germans won some war.

    Perhaps it doesn't mean that they stole anything, just that none of those movies, books or games or whatever were very original.

    Since we're talking games i'll assume you mean the bling, right? If you mean the girls that you're welcome to join making some music~~

    You do all realise that this whole thing is more about picking a working title right? (Oh oh working title films (?) was also a great company name!) Only after you've started and sniffed at the atmosphere you'll suddenly come up with a good name that fits the team. For example, Radiohead (which i consider a nice and catchy bandname) was called On A Friday when they started........

    Off Topic

    Seriously, i always liked the company names that were just too bold to be true. Rockstar for example, it just works. I'll be back with more and actually decent examples tomorrow

    oh yeah get that rubber of your head and cum in my hair you dirty blue whore, i wanna feel your tentacles kiss mine oh yeah baby. shit the trees are watching, i lost my tailboner...

    besides: if they have no genitals, do they also shit out of their hair? do they get an afro haircut because of morning boners, do they hang their towels on their hair and think it's cool, do the guys with long tails think they're better? does this mean they can't have threesomes? (treesomes) oh the questions

  • Totally random concept/sketch thread

    • December 28, 2009 at 12:55 AM

    I like the concept, and the landscape. But i'm afraid i'm gonna have to say the same thing again. The composition leads the eye towards the girl, dragging attention away from the sea, even though the sea has the most interesting and pretty painting. When i'd paint something like this, i would either a) focus on the girl, make sure that is painted really well or b) use a composition that would point the eye to the sea. I guess in this case the concept only allows a. The hardest part about painting is (i graduated as a painter from art school) when you have a part of your painting that's really nice, but it distracts from what the painting is about, what you wanna show. In my experience you either have to get rid of the pretty part, or change the entire painting except that part, even if it changes what you had in mind. I know neither sound very appealing, but uh

    *edit*. Just thought of an option c). Right now the girls loose painting looks wrong to me because it feels like a sketch. Maybe try simplifying how you painted her, as if she's in the middle of the sunlight, no shadows. Really straight hair, etc, etc. Painting her in a simple manner isn't the problem, but the sketchy feeling is.

    But seriously, good work, i dig

    *edit 2* Just had another look and what also annoys me a bit is (this is gonna sound so technical, painting-nerdy) that the sun, the tree on the rock and the girl are all in one line. Put your finger over the sun and the tree and see what you think. In my opinion it'd make it a lot better. More dynamic, more focus on the sea and the girl and also a little less postcard
