A belated gift to !

I asked her what she wanted and she said she wanted a red and white eastern dragon with koi fish markings and cherry blossoms. So that's what I did. It was quite nice painting this. The scales were especially nice to do.

I hope you like it!

Yunuroko In reply to ShadeofShinon [2016-01-07 01:16:36 +0000 UTC]

However, I read "Spinon Art" in the runes... x: or maybe it's me who didn't find the right transcription for the H ? ^^"

Totally out of context : I saw on the Nuz Forum you once talked about Ori and the Blind Forest. I have to say, I have this game on my wish-list for a while now (as well as Journey, but I unfortunately can't play that one), but I was wondering if it's indeed playable with only a keyboard, or if you need a gamepad ? I know it's a platform game, but... :/

ShadeofShinon In reply to Yunuroko [2016-01-08 17:51:43 +0000 UTC]

Thing is, there are so many different rune keys that i have no idea what is real. It's mostly for the overall look anyway.

I haven't played Ori through yet. It's playable by keyboard but I feel that it would be easier and less frustrating with a controller.

xD

Too bad I don't have one around... But yeah, I can understand : I once ragequited Assassin's Creed 2 because of a camera issue (when you're about to jump on a wall, the point of view changes suddenly, and even though you're still pressing the same keys, your character is changing direction) I was using the keyboard, and after an hour of unfortunate attempts, I just stopped. The worst thing is : when you were training on that jump (because it was part of an obstacle race with a timer), that camera issue wasn't triggered. =_=

ShadeofShinon In reply to Yunuroko [2016-01-09 12:01:24 +0000 UTC]

Ohh, I know about that thing. I watched my friend play it pn PS3 and she raged about it as well. The early AC games aren't really the best in terms of gameplay.

Yunuroko In reply to ShadeofShinon [2016-01-13 02:41:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah... But to be honest... I spend most if my playing time riding a horse across the land xD
Btw, that's also the reason I still haven't finished Twilight Princess : I was one pissed off with the Air Temple, so I went back on Hyrule and had fun riding Epona and sniping ennemies with my bow and the Falcon Eye :3
