HEY Y'ALL

 

YOU CAN GO TO http://society6.com/teganrobichaud AND BUY THIS SCIZOR PICTURE AS A PRINT

 

this is probably not very useful to you if you do not like Pokémon as much as I do but oh well

 

[Zeusthecat]

Someone should draw Goat Luigi. Hint hint tegan.

Awwww, that's the best. Thanks tegan!

 

Edit: You should totally post that in the latest episode thread too.

I did a thing for a contest.

Hosting a Halloween themed game night at my place so I made a quick poster:

 

[Marquis]

Happy Dot Gobbler Halloween

 

(work in progress)

[Apelsin]

Haha, that's great!

[tegan]

I totally forgot that I'm allowed to show off my Pokéstory Zine submission now.

 

[TychoCelchuuu]

Good lord that dot gobbler is amazing.

[UltimateHurl]

Great work tegan, love that it reminds me of Super Mario Bros haunted house levels :3

[Ben X]

Super Mario Bros haunted house levels :3

 

The best one of all the Haunted House Levels games, imo.

[Marquis]

Dot Gobbler fan art now exists. You're welcome.

I feel like this should be integrated into the background assets of a game. Just put the picture in a frame and put it in a room somewhere.

 

... a horror game probably.

Weirdly enough, I've been thinking a lot about the role of static traditional artwork in 3D games. It seems like technology is finally at a point where assets like framed art on a wall could actually be rendered in high enough resolution to do it justice. Then again, I'm a complete fucking freak for detail.

 

haha today's work in progress is probably a good enough example:

I was thinking about something similar a few days ago. I was reading about the psychology of collecting souvenirs and memorabilia. One study seemed to imply that objects serve us as a form of external memory. I like the idea of having rooms full of objects that evoke involuntary memories.

I just recently played Gone Home and so I had that on my mind. It makes me want a social-networking program that would allow me to snap pictures or make status updates, but then also choose the form they take. For instance, a picture could take the form of a painting on a wall, a book-cover on a shelf, or a page in a scrapbook on a coffee table. Then my [digital house] would populate with these items so that when I walk through it, I would experience involuntary memories and memory-chains.

An example would be that I might be reminded of that week that I was obsessed with researching the caduceus and the rod of Asclepius when I accidentally knock an umbrella-stand over. 

Playstation Home and Second Life lack the convenience I'm imagining and a reason to revisit (so that I can bump into stuff that evokes memories).

You can't both have 'an environment you navigate' and 'convenient'.

[Brannigan]

it's super terrible that I immediately thought "Yea, I'd make an elaborately framed goatse"

[Ucantalas]

I somehow lost the pen for my tablet in my move. Dammit.

IIRC some of the paintings in Anor Londo in Dark Souls were plot relevant. I suppose it's handy that for games it's super easy to repurpose production concept art as diegetic portraiture.
