L33t – A little cartoon

It was 2009 I think, when I started with L33t. It all began at the Gamescom at Cologne on Monday before it opened. We (the gamecity.ch crew) were working on topics for our new Homepage back then. And we liked to have an own little comicstrip. So I pulled out some short drawings, I have done in school (yay I am really creative at school XD ). They were really unpolished and noobish but I published them. Later the drawings got better, they weren’t awesome but they entertained a bit. After a while I lost track of it. Due to work and other things I didn’t got any ideas of gags anymore so the series kinda stopped.

Since I made now a facebook site for my blog (Yay!!) I liked to use these character as Avatar. And so I decided to translate the cartoons and bring them online here once again, in english. If you wanna read them in german, please head on to www.gamecity.ch .

The first one refers to all the RPG’s where the NPC civilians running or standing in the way of a fight. Leading to negative kills for you as a player. This could be sometimes reeeallly frustrating! :)

Ah before you ask. It is coloured by water colours. Exept the bubble nothing is made by computer. Yeah it was my first one.

Uncharted 3 Map Layouts – Zuflucht (Sanctuary)

For the second half of the maps of the FB Map Pack I stared with Sanctuary. The difficulty here were the three buildings with several floors. I decided to leave the part beneath sanctuary away. The different stages of the floors are highlighted in different dark colours. I hope it’s understandable. Since I was at home over the weekend, I wasn’t able to make a copy of the scribble, so I switched back to the old “pause it through window light” system. I sticked the scribble on my window and set another paper over it. I darkened the room (since it wasn’t very light on sunday), so that I could see the lines properly. The window then becomes something like a light-table. The only negative about it was, that my arms/hands are getting really tired, by drawing the lines on a horizontally way. Some lines weren’t as even as I liked it to bee. :(

The second part of was about depts and how you get the cash of customers, which are not paying the bills. It was kinda interesting, but I was such in a run of drawing, I did another scribble. Unfortunately I messed up the legs pretty much, they are too small, and kinda sticky and not really in the flow of the picture. Well it is just a scribble.

Uncharted 3 – School Inspiration

When in comes down boring school hours, I really have a tend to start drawing. You know these are hours, you wish they would pass really fast and which turn out to be the longest you have been on. So you have two options. Either concentrate on the topic, try to go with the question-answer-game of the teachers… oooorrr… doing something else. I usually start to draw. Mostly symbols, because they are easy and you don’t have to think a lot about it. Rarely little cartoons of whatever came to my mind. But sometimes I give it a go and try to scribble. This picture I started without even knowing what I want to draw, ending up with an Uncharted Picture. It doesn’t look really good. Well it is only about 5cm big.

Yeah it says really: “Shut up, let me go home playing Uncharted.” :)

Uncharted 3 Map Layout – Verlorene Stadt (Lost City)

This is the fourt Map, the Lost City of Uncharted 3. Actually it was a pretty easy one, because a loth of parts you can “mirror” to the opposite side. I tried to show the different layers with the colors. I know there is a bigger way underneath and I really have to think about how to continue on Sanctuary, Fort and especially Highrise. Well we will see how it turns out.

This time I folded the paper instead of drawing fine middle lines. It helped much, because the foldlines were more accurate than my drawed lines. The first light scribble I did by hand, but after, when it came down to a more detailed and worked out version I chose a ruler to get clean lines. The inking I did again only by hand, without a ruler, because it would look awkward, when some lines are drawn by hand and some with the help of a ruler.

The last step is again the colouring. It is pretty much the same as in my last description. The only special thing here was to do a gradient on the stairs to show the change between the layers.

Uncharted 3 – How to get your Clan Tag on the Villains Shirt

For the Google+ Account of our Clan, I did a fast Avatar, which links Uncharted 3 and our Clan Sign in a cool way. First of all I searched for a great screenshot. I thought of three thins, that should be shown. A character, the uncharted logo and of course the Tactical Gaming Logo. First I searched for a Screenshot of a character in Front of a wall showing the emblem, but since the size of an Avatar is somehow limited my second thought was to use either a custom hero with the emblem on the shirt or a villain. Since I only found a picture with the villain, wich shows a great move as well, I decided to use this as template.

The lights on this picture were great as well, since the google+ Background is white it will gives a good effect to the pic, without doing me a lot of work. I loaded this picture into gimp and set a new layer. Then I used the free selection tool to cut out the character and copy him into the new layer.

As you can see, the ND paw is not what I would like to have, so I copied just this part into a second layer and removed / adjusted the colors. Since the paw is just red color, without any lines it es easier to remove the color first. After that you can add the color you want again, fitting it to the rest of the shirt.

There are some little Marks left, but we gonna place a logo on top of it, it isnt such a big deal. After I merged the layers together it looks like this:

Now I copied the TG Logo on a new Layer into this file. As you can see, the original Logo is way to big, so I adjusted the sice, turned it a litte and merged the sides to get the right view of it for a Shirt Emblem.

Since the color is really offensive and Dark compared with the rest of the character, I copied the Logo again in an other layer and adjusted it with the latency, brightness and transparency. Finally it looks like it belongs to the shirt. It was a pretty fast work, so it could be done much better with a little more time and patience.
