How Do Artists Do It?

I must say, making Pretend pretty is quite a chore.  Because I'm a programmer, all of the animations are going to be two or three key frames for now.  I'll find someone to inbetween them or actually redo them entirely (because you know my digital art skill sets aren't quite there yet).

Err... that's a Nerf gun.

This is my sorry piece of work for the first idle frame for the boy.  Even though I've got a wacom tablet, I still suck at this sort of thing.  They're just too small to make brush strokes pretty!

The Alpha test that is currently posted will be the last Alpha test.  The next version to be released will be the first of the Beta tests.
