Create free accounthey guys this is Jonas making video games with you the best streamer on the entire planet is back and today were streaming concept art because I'm clearly an expert at that and there's a lot you can learn from me and the best concept artists in the entire world so that's what we're gonna do today and actually they're quite a bit of got a couple of problems with the current art cell of over Sonova and the main problem is that you don't get what's going on is too complicated you don't understand what the hell's happening on the screen and that is something we should try to fix so cool that so many of you are already here is the sound okay is the video okay that's the most important question yes I had to prepare that joke
it's the best joke in the entire world and obviously we're gonna continue swimming in serious mode because why the hell not okay very nice perfect then I think we can can get into the drawing part and stop the boring talking because I'm as you can clearly tell I'm not that good at talking and I'm also not that good at drawing so let's get into the drawing so at the very least you can laugh about me oh yeah see see that's perfect that's clearly perfect that's exactly what I want you to see how do we fix this let me let me have a short look see I'm clearly the most professional streamer out there so I don't want this screen I want this screen please yes
thank you so perfect we're ready okay this line is the new enemy let me actually check if my pen works oopsa-doopsie maybe you had should have checked that earlier okay actually get let's get rid of glasses they're really annoying I got pixel welcome oh my god so many fewer how did that happen oh my god I think we broke already broke a record here we're already at eight years this is crazy guys this never happened ever before in my entire streaming career that was clearly very long oh now I deleted the line I'm so sorry
twelve really but I chose ten maybe there are some invisible viewers I don't know about so let's talk through the problem we have clearly understandability and i don't blame anybody for not understanding what's going on my game it looks really confusing and also you don't really you can't really tell who the good guys are because they all look creepy they all look like weird aliens can I get all of my buttons here um thank you
sorry this takes some getting used to okay okay yeah my my buttons very nice so why don't we just draw something right and also this dream has new music so if you want to listen to music just turn on your own music okay that's that's way better anyway then you can listen to whatever you want yeah it's very cool it's cool that they're all the viewers that have been around for a very long time I appreciate it guys and it's kind of nice to be back Annie on the soul youtubing thing and let's see if where all of this goes hello from Berlin are you actually in Berlin good pixels hello from Sweden yeah yeah so here here
we go and this is clearly beautiful let's make a new layer I can't focus on the art thing but we'll get there let's take it a little slowly hello Roberto hey thank you everybody how many fewer chef got right now oh my god is actually 12 you were right all along that's crazy okay yeah so let's start with the myth some sort of a silhouette whatever we we have right here and maybe we can find a way to make this look a little cooler maybe
we can start with the silhouette actually just work on this a little bit does this look like a friendly creature no it looks kind of alien already my keyboard is down there ever really reach that up it's pretty sad that you can't see it but basically the keyboard is just here directly on my legs something maybe I can show you no doesn't work how about this is this better okay let's do it like this [Music] okay so let's get this away a little bit
yes this doesn't really look like sperm I agree but we can definitely make something that does maybe that's the solution this does not look like sperm I I don't know what this is and you can you can't even see the entire thing because my stupid face cam is blocking the view no no no how about no
now this looks kind of friendly I like this so I think we can keep this for later where's my keyboard so weird zookeeper this that far away [Music] those weird ice in the front here's what I like about this maybe this could be a little mouth and the tongue or something like that and then here let's just make [Music] this also the mouth as you can clearly
tell flying space ducts you need to make flying space stocks that would be so funny but oh yes oh yes please please I can clearly tell this is going somewhere it's gonna be amazing okay before we waste any more time let's actually color those two creatures because I'm already quite happy with them I think actually this design here is a little outdated it looks too creepy and yes now as we change the gameplay a little bit we also don't make the unit's explode anymore that means they can look a little cuter we don't touch your item like put it with the Dragons back then should we start with the space dock or with this fish thing let's start with the fish yeah
oh no x0x have a nice day bye-bye it looks like a nose because it's not painted yet that's clearly the reason for that it will look way better when it's colored obviously um so let's make a new layer and just sketch this out a bit mmm actually probably having a gray background or something like that would be a little more useful yeah
let's start with a black and white version of this this actually takes a while if I do this because I'm honestly I'm not that good at painting I can get there if I put enough time into it but doesn't happen that quickly if I do it just do some pillow shading because that's the easiest way to model this or to make it look like something it's going quite well so development thanks for asking and I'm lacking the context here probably yes I will probably use
play-doh again to create these creatures but I've been more like sketching them and Photoshop now because I can I feel like I can get it to look like I wanted to look a little more easily than when I actually try to do it with clay or with play-doh that makes any sense I think we'll definitely stick to the to the played or style or at least two real-life photos of whatever because that looks kind of cool let's actually think about where the light is coming from let's say it comes a little more from the uppsala that's way too bright from the front here the tap our the problem is if there's no
music I will probably randomly start singing that's just a weird habit of mine you know the secret about art is if you try long enough it will eventually look like something but the only questions how long will it take to look like something I feel like I want this to have some sort of cute pattern hmm awesome
something like this some colored spots on the body because I don't know for some reason this just makes creatures kind of look cute it's weird how that works this is probably already way too much detail because the creatures will be way way smaller when they're on the screen but yeah that's also kind of an advantage to go that far in because then
when you zoom out and usually looks a bit better yes definitely a space fish a color a colored space fish huh don't not sure exactly what you're talking about their ex call because I'm too branded but you're probably right about whatever use that there
now I'm not really sure about cam akers to do to it obviously has some massive improvements mainly the user interface and the UI but other than that I feel like the new layer system is a little bit annoying and I also so basically what they did is they earlier you had a variable that basically was the set variable how how far at the front is the object how far away is the object and that allowed you to tune pretty excise exactly where you want your objects to be what overlays what and now they have this layer system and every time you want something to overlay something else you need to create a new layer and it's kind of an annoying workflow and they
say it improves the performance but from what I can tell I don't really see a big difference performance wise so I would prefer to continue using the old system and yeah then then a couple of small Annoying Thing likes like that feel II really feel like it slows me down and the reason why I use like using game makers because I'm usually quite fast programming with it and then if they make changes that feel like I slow you down then that's obviously not perfect but I'm still using it so I still like it the user interface and the UI definitely both yeah I need my cool glasses to play that off I don't like the user interface and the UI of the stupid program it's for
complete I don't know who did this completely nonsensical to me doesn't make any sense my cute fish I wasn't quite done with shading it so let's continue with that mmm [Music]
Jonas's and focused mode right now which makes the drawing look better but also makes them stop talking
can you start getting the three-dimensionality of this object because I kind of think I can i Wang a line it would be cool if ah if it shoots the lasers out of it I so when it goes into a tech mode it ah we need to try that later how that looks that's a good idea back it means to shoot lasers out of its eyes clearly clearly that makes a lot of sense high-five thanks for joining in to my new art stream where we make the best art in the universe a space fish that shoots lasers out of its eyes and the
space stack will be next shouldn't waste too much time on this because ya still need to do the space stack hey donkey Copic thanks for joining the stream glad you're here like an welcome we're drawing space ducks and sperm and stuff like that oh my god you guys giving me so much to read I can't keep up with all of your comments let me draw for a second okay really how annoying is that
maybe I'm trying a little too hard I just wanted to look a little bubbly and alien come on so like this lasers yeah definitely lasers just just wait okay will do lasers hmm
yeah we could also do try to do elemental stuff fire water maybe maybe I mean at the very least that's something that people also kind of understand that laser sorry water and fire kind of fight each other so that would probably have the understandability of the game quite a bit but I agree we need to try lasers first yeah we could also leave space of course I'm not totally fixated on making a
space game I don't really care if it's space or somewhere else just wanted to be interesting and understandable understandability actually is one of my main priorities now but also to be kind of memorable fun interesting there are a lot of things actually wound out of my art style though not gonna be all that easy to fix all of that but obviously we're gonna try anyway
hello fair flute you made me swear on stream that's not nice and a couple more pimples oh no we still need to add the color mm don't know if this works anymore the pattern
you might have to repent that now we actually need to work on the ice a little more because we want them to shoot lasers later on right so they they should look kind of okay at the moment they look I think that describes them quite well oh I like these hands they look clumsy and cute okay
I feel like this enough detail for now the ice though what about the ice those pupils they they look beautiful what are you talking about how about we start over so if they shoot lasers they need to
look a tiny bit crazy this kind of looks like a half I now think I got the perspective a little wrong when that may looks need to look more more like this yep that looks better yep I will add colors very soon actually adding colors was pretty easy not not a massive effort oh no I'm messing this up again I still can't see that spark of
craziness though mm-hmm sometimes you really getting hung up on details like this
once again I recommend you turn on some music yourself because sometimes I don't talk a lot and this stream doesn't have any music and without any music it can sound a little weird sometimes if nobody is talking and I don't like talking all the time so just turn on your own music you know what you like to listen to best anyway and I'm pretty confused too like watching this listen so far pretty real to me anyway come on you stupid I oh my god so annoying it doesn't just doesn't work out the way you want maybe maybe this looks interesting
I analyzed right I already made a game with laser eyes that's correct actually if we do it with clay I'm not sure we can do eyes like this anyway so but just for the sake of it no they kind
of need to look alright okay whatever let's zoom out and talk oh god no [Laughter]
no no no the thing I'm doing all of that again yeah actually it's just that layer okay let me get my keyboard Oh No that was wrong hello ha now we can delete that I don't have any keyboard in reach that's really annoying
all I want to do is duplicate this stupid I well perfect clearly perfect let's just merge all of that okay
your neon lights come comment sorry I can't keep up with all of the comments I'm too busy barking cat you see that guys okay let's read it where is it I need to scroll up so far just posted again dude okay but I'm selecting the context so you want neon lights on the creature but which lines exactly are you talking about maybe you can explain that again
generally I think adding neon lights to a creature that shoots lasers out of its eyes was probably not a bad idea on the white points on the ice or on the back let's just do both fix this up really quick mm-hmm okay
oh yeah right I wanted this to be the mouth that will take some work as well like I need to make sure I keep up with your comments this time on the back of the creature art yeah quite impressive that I can keep up with a chat that has just 15 people in it let's hope this channel stops growing now because I clearly can't handle any more than that
but maybe I will grow with a challenge maybe maybe but I don't think so I like it okay okay
sometimes it looks a little bit of some parts of your drawing have more detail than other parts but I don't think anybody's gonna be able to see that anyway later on so now let's add how is it called color or nyan let's start with adding some color clipping masks please and then we just select color and then
obviously we need to pick either green or blue because those are the colors of good in games let's make it a green fish hello mr. green fish hello yes yes yes you are a nice fish and then having only one colors not a good idea most of the time looks kind of weird so that's a bit of this aqua color here in the center and in general on those kind of lines
what looks like a weird nipple oh my god first it looks like sperm then like a weird nipple the little blue yeah it's the tongue I can't remove it it needs to stay there Tess some gameplay purpose hi Dumbo Pete welcome to the stream we're having fun with drawing space stacks and fail space fish that look like sperm and nipple maybe we should add a tiny bit of blue as well [Music]
or yellow yellow school as well hmm it's just me or is not all that much happening here okay yeah a bit of blue here in the tail
it's not a bug it's a feature exactly exactly it's an Easter egg because honestly if we zoom out that much you can see it anyway so don't really know what you're complaining about okay that's about the size the creatures will have in the end so don't see what's the big deal and now maybe we can add the code colored pattern I wanted so badly mmm how do we do this create clipping mask here very nice maybe if you use a different blend mode and lower opacity I think this might
work and then obviously we also need to follow the shape of the creature hmm it's this actually barking I'm not sure especially if we zoom out maybe this adds a little too much I know actually if you zoom out it looks quite kind of cool I'm the play-doh God oh I'm getting so many cool nicknames I love it
yeah also questions can we create two sort of played or will Z I think we can do it it will obviously look a bit different if we created out of play-doh but I guess that's fine okay so now that we got this part down [Music] what about neon we need more neon in this clearly
so let's put this on ad and let's put our color on our pen on edge and then you can start adding some neon so which color should and you don't have maybe a little more yellowish green let's first of all make the eyes glow yeah okay this is looking interesting what do you what I wonder what you say about us and then maybe we can start adding a little bit of neon here and the rest of the body as well how about we add a neon
line in the center first looks like hands like it's grabbing glowy stuff really no come on come on whatever I do it's wrong I'm always wrong so I wonder how we do this Chloe stuff with play-doh maybe we need to put some LEDs into the play-doh or something like
that obviously we can just add it later with Photoshop we really need it but cool I agree hope we can use this to highlight the skeleton here a little as well hmm
maybe that's a little too much I feel like that's too much let's hope I can undo that and then just oops stick to blowing points we had right here [Music] I'm haven't elected the rubber but why is it rubber ring interesting at at pan yellow
please don't rubber it away thank you that was weird I like that I think I think I like that maybe next to the eyes or to the hands that hold glowy things once again I tend to overdo this a little bit if I like something I tend to overdo this
okay but now we clearly need to try the laser eyes okay I said the only thing they're looking a little weird now hmm maybe mm yeah right looks kind of creepy I wanted to make it look a little more friendly a little more cute I don't know
if I achieved that probably not so I feel like this is the standard pose when it swims and I feel like it needs to go into a different pose when when it attacks let's just combine all of those layers for now because why the hell not or at least we can move it around a little better than and try to reach the keyboard oops okay standard pose and now let's do a check post
[Music] so how would a creature like this look when it attacks I'm waiting for your suggestions maybe I should use the green playdoh for this one very good idea I mean it makes sense if the creature is green you think it looks good for a friendly creature and I'm not sure if you really get that it's friendly still think it looks a little creepy it doesn't look like the eyes are looking straight forward that's fine because it's a little crazy just like me and also not quite sure if it really looks friendly enough okay so now for
the attack mode I feel like should try to spread out a little that's my keyboard maybe maybe [Music] oh no come back probably even like this with the arms
moved forward it looks like it wants to hack you and then obviously the eyes need to get a lot bigger when it's attacking
and I'm also not quite sure about the tale I've got to tell you maybe the tail can split what was the price yeah this way it looks a little more stationary and a little more dangerous obviously it's only a sketch
what are you requesting I have to check again because I didn't read it attack of the killer nipples okay we need to make a logo for that later the nipple needs to get bigger when it's attacking you're absolutely right how could I miss that
maybe I should change the pen back tomorrow you have the greatest idea of all okay just do your homework and there will be more streams and also the stream will be up on the channel so you can resell watch it later if you want to do that so no problemo have have fun doing your homework
now I go need to go back to ad yes you know I know you will complain that the lasers not coming off the nipple I'm very sorry that's the way I imagined it Oh [Music]
try to take care of obviously I made it smaller are you happy now what looks like a flashlight now you're driving me crazy and you probably even enjoy it your baby whoo obviously they need to spread in a cone and also the way it is at the moment is they kind of fire in waves
should probably look something like this then a bit more glowing nests on the eye while it's shooting and obviously also on the nipple
and maybe it can be a lot more glowy in general while firing I think that's a good idea Ebola have normal mode and we have a tech mode
you can write English you can write German I don't really care English is obviously a little better because everybody can take part in the discussion but I guess Germans fine as well yeah most of the people that are tuned in at the moment are probably German but you can never know and also we don't want it to stay like that forever so if we continue to talk German all the time that might not be all that inviting for English speakers you can write English but you don't know any word in English that makes complete
sense so I feel like the only mode that is still missing [Music] the X so how does this creature look when it turns into an egg and let's add that on the other side [Music] okay and it always confuses me to have everything on a different layers or
let's just merge it again oh no but not with the background I want to have the background on a different one thank you so how would it look when that creature turns into an egg yeah I could make ribs for that but can I copy everything at once them and also
I'm just doing concept art so it doesn't really matter how many layers I have so maybe we can try to do it in a way that you can still see it's kind of the same creature what if it just rolls in like this
looks kind of crazy I like crazy luckily it looks like it needs to be wash the toilet where is it maybe wrote in like that perfect [Laughter] actually I need more space more space
because obviously it needs to be a double egg I mean you have a job interview let's fill this yeah how is that going to split into two of those I'm gonna show you this obviously the end state that's why I need more space no I made it on the same layer I hate my life
[Music] that or God these creatures also weird but I think that also makes them kind of interesting see that's why I need to March them
actually how do I merge them much much doubt on much so the question obviously remains how does the act look at the beginning but I think it's a little easier to imagine now maybe I should mirror one of them vertically
yeah looks a bit better and now let's try to find out how this act looks in earlier stages probably pretty easy to figure out let's just delete the middle part maybe a bit more see it's not that complicated
I don't really feel like fixing all of the details here so forgive me if I don't do that I can clearly see that you can see the gap in between here I just want to get a feel for how this creature could look actually it's kinda cute not all the bad so let's try to finish this sketch and this into a complete stripe
the complete evolution of this creature from birth to death and let's put this stack creature space stack on a different layer we can remove it here okay and we'd even have some absolutely beautiful concept art and as everybody knows concept art is not about how good your sketches are it's just about how you present them so we'll be you can
pimp this up a little bit first of all let's merge this again so I can move all of this at once which I don't really know all that much about pokemon so i can't tell you with generation this is that did it I tell you that maybe a bit like that oh maybe we should
actually add the over Sonova background I think that would make a lot of sense let's do that where is it let me check real quick mmm-hmm here it is okay [Music] not bad actually space frog stood to do
[Music] okay so I think we're done with the first sketch I think we can move on to the space stacks so just let me save that really quick it's not Pokemon guys stop talking about pokemons saved okay
then just as a safety measurement let's also save this as PNG let's call it space laser space frog with nipple okay and then maybe transparent version as well just to make sure because you never know if I mess this Photoshop file up hmm
by should it look like two parts that I put together good pixel zones and what do you have in common with good pixels even more interesting question oh come on just let me save already it's still saving the last ones oh I can save this one you like that that's good because otherwise I would have had to
ban you from my stream okay we cannot have haters on the stream haters are not allowed here have you got that I most certainly hope so can I say Photoshop is taking forever I don't have that much patience let's let's just start with a space duck no I cut it let's hope it's still there now what we do to space duck see this is why you have to save your project okay now we
can can actually save that transparent version so let's do that real quick laser space rock with nipple underscore transparent now what do we do about space stock [Music] what is a poly toad yeah looks like a duplicated eat
I clearly duplicated it at the act for the egg right here and I was to two bars to change it so yeah obviously mmm when I put on my glasses you know it's getting serious a frog pokémon okay I see is there also a duck Pokemon because now we're doing flying space stacks and I need to find a way to get my duck back because I kind of destroyed it it's dead I killed it now let's just see how often we can head back come on ducky come back okay very nice
no let's just to save as concept art boom space stuck the dip dip we can put those three layers into a group so it isn't in the way and now we have time for space stack finally finally the dream comes true and let's actually not make the same mistakes as with the last sketch let's try to make it really friendly and really cute so you can definitely tell it's a player
creature that would be nice so let's start let's see what we can do I think it should have laser eyes as well or what else could a space stack shoot I'm not really sure ah this is this is still you this is your music channel I need to make sure I subscribe to that let's do that now actually no I can't click on your name okay let's do that after the stream very curious to hear in music actually
[Laughter] okay I already like this hmmm I think it's actually smarter to to start with the creature that is not completely black but some sort of gray maybe is better because then you can paint on the black or easily [Music] Spacedock incoming
you can click the three dots I unfortunately I'm I feel like I'm almost always lacking the context of your comment say what is that a song you made that's my understanding of the situation now
yeah I feel like I got a really good eye on accident there the other side this one's kind of okay as well this looks cute this looks like a player creature I like this I need to make sure I don't miss out on any of your comments which three dots can you click in the
chat on the right side I'm not sure I have ah there are three dots if you hover over it with your mouse genius I can learn so much from you like a black yoshi at least it's not not a nipple I'm already happy about that I'm fine with say Yoshi and so I wonder how we could get some kind of a feathery texture onto that space stack stop scrolling I want to change my brush size thank you
all this works this works I'm not going to see where the mouth starts we do this without making it look super weird this looks weird
I Diplo definitely I can't the Yoshi here don't play enough Super Mario but I think you could see those things right here as as ice right let's make it go away I had a good thing about this design is I think I can build that out of clay relatively well
the DEP DEP did there's no music so let's let's just sing a song a little song for you to enjoy from me doo doo doo tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu don't say anything bad
about the tale okay it's a perfect tale I dare you sometimes they're not really all that much going on in the chat and then sometimes and I look and I can't really keep up anymore [Music] please stay nice in the chat though don't know exactly what's going on but I'm pretty sure anything mean you've said was just for the sake of entertainment right otherwise we'll have to get serious and you all know what that means okay don't want that to happen um
okay so this looks alright to do to to to to to to let's create some cute feet and I'm watching the chat now sir yes sir that's the correct response because obviously my main goal with building this YouTube channel is building some sort of a blind following that just do everything I say completely blindly and paid and that and who like everything I do no matter if it's any good so that's my primary goal to get rid of all of the criticism and to destroy all of the haters it's pretty much the only reason I do this so always keep that in mind
mmm now everybody's scared to say something in chat I understand that you got a week very careful now actually let me tell you a secret I don't even know how to ban people maybe I should look that up just in case I just assumed we were all very friendly so no no need for that okay very nice very ver what the hell did I paint there what the hell
it's not working space dock space dock okay this might be a little better
to make it a little bone on oh let's make it a little brighter mmm-hmm mr. Draghi space stack thanks peep peep a twice even no left very nice to hear that
be yeah it doesn't matter where you come from we accept everybody just look at me even I get accepted on the internet if that isn't proof enough and humanity then I don't know what is sometimes I like what I like about adding additional layers it's just that you can go back and forth like that and see if you actually made it any better
or if you made it worse or maybe something in between can also decide on any of that mmm feeling like there needs to be a little more like light here as well even though that's directly next to the eye but it's just a nice highlight nice very nice let's add colors I'm I'm getting sick of this let's do a different strategy this time let's use a gradient map clipping mask clipping mask clipping nose clipping not clipping most oh it already
is a clipping mask that's nice so black windows over there great supposed to be black and white is supposed to be white and then we can choose something in between I think space stocks should probably look a little brown let's just see which color works purple purple space stack or orange space stack maybe blue blue orange or purple what do you say
mr. Saturn I don't know mr. Saturn maybe I should look it up light blue yeah but I don't know if texts are blue text blue roses a red okay let's go for light blue and then let's do another one [Music] because I don't want to have this color everywhere
so now let's choose another color doo-doo-doo-doo the tutor if our here oh no it's the correct one and for here
no no the color no I want the color thank you ha perfect tax aren't orange or pink I don't mean good point [Laughter] stop talking about potato chips luckily I have potato chips as well so I can go eat some after the stream ha ha joke's on you so which options do we have purple pink red no not red not green not maybe green
thing greens kind of extreme ballads olive works mmm I think this was probably the best one so far okay I feel like we need to add a bit more color so far it looks kind of boring so
let's create another clipping mask go to color again wash my pan here okay very nice and then we can hopefully oops maybe start blending this out a bit maybe add a little bit of purple here next to the eyes and then the shadows in general hmm nope not there I don't know I kind of feel like this is
looking like some sort of a flying logo you know what I mean a flying piece symbol might be a little too strong I think we might be able to turn those two things into Jets to a jet pack something like that because you know how is the duck going to move in space obviously it needs some rockets okay yeah it looks looks kind of flat though it's not as three-dimensional as I would like it to be but who cares that problem
goes away as soon as we model it out of clay or play-doh so for now let's just add some Rockets now you keep keep dip dip dip dip maybe some sort of cable that you can make disappear into the duct there no just something crazy something memorable that's what we want yeah as
I've said we want a lot of different things it's hard to keep air all of that in mind at the same time that's clearly gonna be awesome okay I think I need to catch up with the chat again because it's it's one of
those scenarios where I just look and there are about 1,000 new techsmith's just what looks like a pick me or the painting left/right up/down buttons don't get the choke their rockets yeah they look a little bit now but they will blend and perfectly when they're done don't worry about anything I got this
the third derivative delivery very very many people and then some highlights maybe I said highlights I don't know let's zoom out let's see how that looks that's how I imagined it all along I got this I got this don't worry don't worry we'll blend this in
here and here then all we need to do yes obviously add a little more color to those as well a little bit of purple or some something like that because at the moment they're just blue color please Oh see that already looks a lot better just something like that okay it doesn't really look like they're very
connected very well to the duck but we might be able to fix that yes exactly it looks like he farts fire that's that's fine if that's an association you have that's the first thing I thought about as well for how long am I gonna be streaming actually I'm gonna finish the stack so we'll do a quick attack mode and then ech and all that sort of stuff that's gonna be quite fun as well I think and I think then I'm gonna call it a stream so probably about 30 minutes or something like that remaining and yeah we'll probably not find the perfect solution in the stream but I so
I just felt like doing an art trim and maybe we can use some of these ideas you know I think it couldn't hurt to bring a bit of craziness into the game and that's already two points those tacks have they are a little crazy they're memorable they're kind of cute and friendly I think you don't get that those are player characters it will be the best game ever obviously I'm cool oh it worked I'm training you ha ha ha I'm your guru now you have to do everything I say follow me blindly my community and the best guy ever you don't have to think just do as I say and
everything's gonna be fine I am cool I am gonna make an awesome game you will buy it for only 399 399 that is definitely I'm gonna be so rich or because I know how to do community building correctly most people don't know that you have to drill your community okay it's not that easy you can't just be friendly all the time yeah it should turn around and attack enemies with fireballs that sounds good we're gonna do that I want to do next so
first of all I think I want to connect those Rockets a little better to the duck and then obviously we'll have to add some fire so first of all let's connect the duck to the Rockets it sounds a little weird when you say it like that let's connect it back to the Rockets no animals got harmed during this show don't worry so I want the organic part of the duck to connect with the technical part okay so this already looks a lot more like I imagined a little shadow under the cable
[Music] where's a troll do we have to ban a troll tell me if enough Pro where's the troll so I can ban them dep dep dep dep dep actually can some of you please google
how to ban people and tell me and chat that well just kidding i can obviously do that myself i'm the troll okay you seem like a really friendly troll then that's that's a good part I'm most of the time I'm too stupid to realize when somebody's insulting me I don't even get it and also I'm insulting myself all the time which is a good self defense mechanism you should try it sometime
okay so this looks a lot better I think that's good enough for now let's add fire fire maybe there's some cool brush i don't really change the brush often enough oh yeah that that will look really cool if i change the mode to add and if i pick a
color that has a little more color nice and now the duck is burning its own tail let's get that out of the way maybe we don't need to throw all of that away right away let's keep that on the layers but let's also put it on a new layer a copy so I can edit it more easily eat and I can just disable this because now I can just grab the tail and move it
this creature is clearly on fire we should probably also call it like that turning it on fire in the tutorial right click to turn your creature on fire and a little restarts burning up or something like that oh that would be so cruel but also so entertaining for the for the flames you want the flames to have a bit more color or the entire duck [Music]
how about this that any better I think you're actually right it needs a little more color I didn't realize it looked so boring before oh my god let's let's just keep it like that let's merge that okay very nice then for the fire let's see what we can do with fire
every time I'm looking down by the way I'm just looking on my keyboard maybe it could to green fire of course you can add more color to a color I got exactly what you tried to say there orange for the fire or orange for the duck sorry I react a little too late to the chat I don't know how to fix this probably just practice I need to multitask better more contrast maybe as well
mm maybe the fire should change the color all the time like that rainbow rainbow fire why is the fire so difficult let's redo the fire do we need to add more contrast to the creature not really I think the contrast is fine
maybe a little bit this is probably a slight improvement it looks really colorful now I hope you're happy we added more color to the color now the only thing we need to do is create some fire that is on fire how about this fire hmm or maybe we
could use the texture to make the duck look more like a duck okay but then again we want to model it out of doors own probably this this kind of flat look it's a little more realistic if we create it out of door so let's let's keep that no not on this layer here please let's just go for for the really basic fire look to the easiest one to make work unfortunately the darkest kind of turning burning its tale once again
how do we fix that perfect it's probably getting grilled no don't write on your PC and on your handi at once on your smartphone that only means more comments I can't handle more comments please don't do it settings kind of cunning exhausting now that's why I usually use a standing desk
but for streaming it's not really all that use all that useful you can I think we're ready to bring this to the next level the stack let's select this I think it needs to look in this direction [Music] 90 duplicate this tag and then when it attacks it just turns around ship
and then obviously obviously obviously obviously the look on its face needs to be a lot different when it's attacking [Music] I'm not sure how to do this I wanted to
look very angry yeah we're getting there we're getting there mmm then it kind of needs to look like it's screaming I wonder how we could do that let's just prototype this and group it
up so I don't get confused okay I'm already confused okay this one doesn't belong into the group this one does those two belong into one group those two are deactivate [Music] okay just keep talking without me I focus on the drawing you come up with new names for the game all day long luckily we already decided on a name
which is killer dachshund space so here you can kind of see inside the mouth and what you see inside obviously the tongue hold us the tang look blue probably it's a good nice
and then the teeth obviously the Ducks have teeth probably not but this one has so it looks more aggressive oh my god that was creepy actually the teeth at the top and to be a bit darker and at the dark then the teeth at the bottom here also needs some highlights yep like that very
nice very nice [Laughter] wonderful I know it's perfect [Laughter] mmm in the legs kind of need to react as well to the drastic impact
and the tail as well what does the Tarot do obviously need to stretch out like that there's a lot of fire gets dragged along and then I feel we can make the entire thing
a little more narrow [Music] mmm-hmm no probably not okay let's just keep it like that and add some fire and some fire here now the correct color is not selected anymore Oh okay this is gonna be interesting how will it look when we do that much fire actually it needs to be fire projectiles
again to add once again the fire projectile is way too big yellow in there as well maybe it isn't too big yeah really there are a lot of youtubers in my audience I've realized that as well of course without you my stream would be nothing I'm already aware of that
because all I'm doing is creating crappy graphics of space ducts and all you're doing is coming up with stupid names to describe what I'm doing we're definitely a perfect team I feel like we need more fire but in a weird way this is already getting there
mmm I'm not sure if this is working why does it look like wings doesn't look like wings
fire spirals yeah maybe I should make it a little more spirally because tail is a spiral as well then one massive spiral in the middle something like that yeah maybe a little bit of additional fire out of the ass [Music]
I mean we need to keep the gameplay in mind it's it's a projectiles that need to come out of there so don't know needs to be something spread pattern that that looks something like that that just goes on a cone maybe we can make that work somehow I can't really tell if it's coming from the ass or from the from the Boosters maybe we can just have some sort of a fire fire animation right here and then the projectiles fly away as well I think that's probably a good compromise
now I don't know maybe it doesn't need to come from the ass but other than that I feel like this might actually work hmm no it's not an enemy it's supposed to be the player player character if you
already think it's an enemy again yeah I know why you think it's an enemy because you look so angry when he attacks maybe it shouldn't look that angry I don't know if fire doesn't come from the s then it feels like it something's missing don't you feel that as well mm-hmm absolutely yes
so maybe we can try to make this a little more friendly while it's attacking so let's try to combine those here at the top and somewhere here such a cool tool but I need to find it where is it you know the tool where you can place dots and move them around warehouse that were called in English where is it
check spelling that's what I'm looking for I don't know how it's called in German I just know that it's cool and that you can move stuff around and that I didn't know it existed for a very long time and then when I found out about it I was so excited because it's so amazing hmm it could close the eyes while attacking I see that could be could help as well true now I don't know where this is then
let's just use liquify instead I guess that works as well can I have the entire window thank you I wanted to smile a bit more while attacking no it's not working
it only looks more more angry now I wanted it to smile ah whatever which one's better this one or this one I think the animation was done we can just use this as the attack animation [Applause] okay let's try and advise so it closes its eyes completely while attacking [Music]
probably not a bad idea maybe we shouldn't use ad so they're actually enough to tell that the eyes are closed [Music] and Photoshop let's wait to Photoshop wants to
play again oh yeah can clearly tell it's trying really hard to attack good advice as you've said it's pretty much you running the stream not me
yep mmm so how about that no for some reason that doesn't quite work yet there's too much noise here
mm-hmm an even darker line where the eyelids media here you're on the site or definitely right
maybe this helps maybe maybe this helps let's say it closes its eyes in a very weird way but I think you can kind of get that they're closed now I would love to get the fire to look like the same color as this one hmm how do we do that notlikethis apparently
close enough now what's missing is the X more pink less white yeah sure sure a little more pink
mm-hmm yeah whatever doesn't need to look perfect [Music] all bye-bye peep have a nice evening have a nice day nice that you joined the stream one minute of silence for peep actually we have quite a lot of minutes
of silence anyway I hope you don't have any more viewers than 12 okay it's only eight that's oh not that much pressure anymore people are leaving thank God what now how does it look when when two of those guys hatch from an egg F totally I totally know what that means
how late is it oh my god half one hour ago I said I would only swim for for half an hour I feel I'm getting a little tired but we gotta finish this we gotta finish the freakin space stack maybe they can be connected they're tight ale about that Oh what did I click again no no never click the wrong button
now you can start talking about Pokemon again I don't want to make the canvas bigger again come on hmm how does the cloning process look so they come out of X Oh by Pro enough Pro yeah
yeah the X should probably stay how they are in-game but let's just experiment with this anyway [Music] because how would it look
if those guys good duplicate mmm [Music] ducks come out of X through through very true burger burger I'm totally keeping up that's our new language now I'm catechism gypsy a pure vapor valve Agha I'm sorry didn't mean to do that
what if VXR a little transparent though what if we have X that looks somewhat like the like a peanut and then now I hit the wrong button damn it and what do you think about X like that if you can can see them inside the X do
you think that makes it easier to understand because that's the most trans important thing yeah transparent or we can make it transparent or we can take some sort of transparent GL stuff one of the two either edited in with PC or actually use something transparent I'm sure this there's something you can look through a bit and that you can model hmm yeah I don't know how well it would fit into the style but I think for actually explaining what's going on it would be pretty useful yes it's in space egg you can also turn it into an attack egg if you want with
the upgrade hmm let's use this to show how they split showing them in a connected state like that it's not really all that interesting maybe we can just remove them or together it's the same we have next to it just twice actually I could have just a little to layer
I don't know about you I think I kind of like the transparent eggs simply for the reason I've said it kind of makes it easier to understand in my opinion maybe I'm wrong about that haven't you seen the attack egg upgrade watch my videos there are actually attack X dep dep dep dep dep developer bap clipping masks that's what I wanted to do because I wanted to add the dots to multiply to the X because at the moment the X have some sort of purple dots
okay this wait a second I got this oh yeah well yeah well yeah
I think it shouldn't be too transparent maybe something like this and then you still need to shade the act because at the moment it looks kind of on unshaded whereas multiply my mama multiply here done okay let's try again now let's let's just do some lazy cloud shading when blob shading who cares who
cares hmm [Music]
don't use black for shading it's awesome I get free free art coaching that's through Russian just black for shading already looks better
hey good pixels on your back that's awesome it's just in time to see me finish this sketch up [Music] I know the egg doesn't look all that nice but I don't know how to fix it and I'm running out of patience so let's let's add in the background again so we still have the background no unfortunately not so let me grab it again real quick where is it images but Babbitt ah here it is
to turn this back into a clipping mask here we go here we go here we go I feel like the two purple creatures a little too dark still let's fix that
mmm-hmm that's a bit too bright let's just make them a little brighter it's probably fine let's do something in between maybe 40 40 percent and yeah the egg looks stupid anyway so you can save this
how old are you I'm 23 years old and what about you how old are you it's like ducks in a condom that's a weird condom yeah I can fix this later totally it's not the final game graphics it's just concept art really crappy concept art can't you read the title of the stream it reads concept art fails this is what we're doing here I don't know what you expected let's save this so far we have laser space rock with nipple how should we call this one space duck with fire
fart and then obviously we also have to do a transparent version after that just in case this will take some time this is actually a good time to ask some questions in the chat if you have any I'm here to answer them now because the dream is about to end very soon a stack that's a good name for a game oh that rhymed I don't know why Photoshop is
that lazy and slow I'm pretty much just posing for the camera at this point can you give me tips on my sounds should we listen to one I think we can do that if you're okay with that first of all I need to subscribe to your channel can we bring it up should we bring it up yes okay then oopsie-doopsie let me grab the step right here um let's
see most popular not bad 100 views [Music] can you hear this I definitely like the visualization this video looks cool [Music]
[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music]
[Music] okay not bad not bad I think the one thing I can say about this is it sounds a little loopy this is a problem I have as well when I whenever I create song so you can can hear that it's basically just a couple of blocks that loop all the time and I think a little more variation probably wouldn't hurt but other than that I'm actually quite impressed it sounds quite cool maybe we can have a listen to another one how bout well there's a song that is called which description and how about Y let's just listen to the newest one [Music]
need to pay attention I don't fall asleep to this [Music]
[Applause] Wow you make really long songs crazy let me skip ahead a little bit [Music] [Applause] [Music]
very nice [Music] not bad not bad if you want to him off that just head over to good pixel sounds and subscriber to his channel he makes really good music very nice not bad not bad actually I liked the song even better than the first one because it didn't feel that repetitive if that makes any sense not bad not bad and really long ok can I save the transparent version of my picture now please please save is eg
transparent and then we can have a short look at them again then we call it a day I can speak German yes can can do German I don't know exactly what that means ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ok let's save this one more time okay
close this online multiplayer for keg shift maybe when I'm back to Berlin we can do another session I don't know okay here we go let's have a short look at what we created today first of all space frog that shoot lasers looks kind of neat I kind of like this design I'm not that sure about the split animation though this looks pretty crappy so far the attack animation is cool
now I'll stick to English because how can what other way is there to learn English see you don't have to do your homework you don't have to learn English because you're learning it with me my perfectly executed ly English that sounds so nicely and is so well ly learning English with Jonas hi I'm Becky Burton and who are you I'm mr. Dixon hello mr. Dixon I would like to talk with you that's how pretty
much all English books sound like right okay so this is pretty much it we have space stacks and we have space frogs vote for your favorite one now either right into the chat space stacks or right space frogs one of the two right now both hmm Becki party yeah
yeah I think in general the concept of having X that split into two parts is probably probably kind of a good idea but I also like combining it with with the transparency transparency or just anything that lets you know that there are actually creatures inside them because I think that's at the moment that's a problem that if you see DX you don't really know what the purpose of them is and I would live to love to give a clue ya see my English is perfect I would love to tell the players what's inside those eggs space rocks duck I think the problem is that from the concept the space Ducks are a lot cooler and a lot more interesting but then again from the design and
execution and the colors the green creatures are cooler but just when we talk just about the concept and about the idea behind it I think space Ducks win big time or would you disagree to that mm-hmm and should we try to continue with space tax I mean I could try to create some space stacks out of clay or something like that [Music] yeah we can trick a little bit in Photoshop and stuff like that
I'll definitely make clay ducks actually I think for the robotic part of the ducts if we do them with clay I I can just use little metal part or something like that I think that would definitely work and look kind of cool this combination of clay and metal and real-world materials I think this would work the stream has a dislike sorry listen up who was that who we won't leave until we find out who left that
dislike I'm really angry so disappointed I thought we had a deal who's the traitor exactly Yash can Sean Deutsch play in a buddy system a Bissell chemistry dealer to the distance beta and cooking of English interesting split slip mix mirin Hong jaha season yet slow sliced okay our yes especially our gracious host taste okay let's wrap this dream up if you have any questions leave them now and I can still answer them if you ask quickly enough
but now I actually have to take a little break eat something maybe run around the block a couple of times and then I need to come back and play some video games so I'll give you I'll give you a minute no not that long I don't have that much patience my favorite color is pink because I'm a boy but no actually I think it's green green blue something like that probably more green than blue have fun thank you I want you to have fun as well I hope you have fun as well have a nice day everybody that was a good end question I feel like what's the favorite color it's a really deep question it leaves you with something to
think about for the next time because we're a pretty intelligent community we ask intelligent questions and I feel this this gives us something to think about so hope you all have a nice have a nice evening have a nice day and I'll see you guys in the next video or in the next stream thanks for hanging around I enjoyed to swim hope you did as well was was kind of fun so thank you and bye
The development of Ovus Nova centers on the critical intersection of character design and gameplay readability. By prioritizing intuitive visual communication, the project seeks to resolve player confusion caused by overly complex or ambiguous assets. The core design philosophy emphasizes the creation of distinct, recognizable silhouettes and clear elemental mechanics, ensuring that players can immediately distinguish between friendly and hostile units during high-intensity gameplay. This iterative approach favors functional clarity over high-fidelity detail, utilizing rapid sketching and layout management to establish the evolutionary lifecycle and behavioral traits of various space-themed creatures.
Technical workflows play a significant role in this creative process, though they are often met with friction. While recent updates to development software have introduced cumbersome layer-based systems that complicate traditional workflows, the focus remains on leveraging tools like gradient maps, clipping masks, and organized file structures to maintain efficiency. The design process is highly collaborative, frequently incorporating community feedback to refine aesthetic choices, such as neon lighting, color variations, and the integration of mechanical elements like rockets or jetpacks into organic creature models. These adjustments are essential for balancing a quirky, memorable aesthetic with the necessary visual cues for combat.
Ultimately, the project demonstrates that successful game art is defined by its utility within the game environment. Through the continuous refinement of attack animations, facial expressions, and projectile patterns, the development team ensures that even experimental concepts—such as space-faring ducks or frogs—effectively communicate their intended function. By testing various materials and visual styles, the team identifies the most compelling designs, ultimately prioritizing those that offer the best balance of narrative charm and mechanical accessibility for the player.
