Reblogging This Now To Add That I Found A Much Higher Quality Version Of The "At Least I Died With Dignity...

reblogging this now to add that i found a much higher quality version of the "At least I died with dignity... And my pants!" quote yesterday!

archiving every single one of Barry's death screen quotes from Monster Dash: a rope of sand

so back when Monster Dash was first released in 2010, Barry had a handful of quotes he would say on the menu screen after he dies. when Monster Dash got updated a while later before being taken down completely, these quotes disappeared from the game and ended up being barely archived, so i thought i'd save every one i could find so they wouldn't fall into obscurity.

i found all these by sifting through decade-old videos recorded on bandicam or by some kid with a camera pointed shakily at the screen so i apologise for the quality being inconsistent and dodgy

first image id: "Note to self: Next time there is a wall, don't jump into it!"

second image id: "Agghh walls. My only weakness."

these were used for when Barry died by running into a wall and falling into the endless void :3 these were also the most common that i kept finding because slamming into walls was very common in the videos i sorted through,, i understand its ok

image ids: "That [enemy] is just angry because no one will ever love him. Or her. Or whatever it is." (this quote switches out the name of the enemy depending on which one Barry got killed by, which is either a zombie, a mummy, a yeti, a vampire or a demon)

damn Barry going off!! this is one of the meanest things he has ever said to anyone ever and i think that is incredibly funny, jesus Barry

first image id: "Damn you spikes hiding cleverly in plain sight!"

second image id: "Who designed this place and thought spikes everywhere would be a good idea?"

these were used for when Barry died to spikes,,, not much else to say other than that i find these to be very charming and funny

first image id: "Why couldn't I die wearing a cool hat?"

second image id: "That fortune teller sucks! There are no sharks with lasers involved in my demise!"

third image id: "Dying is as fun as a bag of jellyfish!"

these are some miscellaneous ones that show up randomly regardless of how Barry kicks the bucket, i like them a lot and they were some of the more rare quotes i found :D

first image id: "At least I died with dignity... And my pants!"

second image id: "It's time to start a re-run!"

third image id: "I hope I come back as a zombie."

that first quote i literally could only find in like 2 videos, it's apparently pretty rare! i apologise for the fact that it was recorded off some dude's ancient iPad, the only other screenshot i have of it is in an even worse quality taken half a metre away from someone's computer screen...

first image id: "I hope Death is ready to rock-off the top bunk!"

second image id: Why am I the cat with only one life?"

third image id: "When you die can you take your weapons with you?"

more miscellaneous quotes... not much else really

image id: "You win this round, [enemy]s. Next time we meet, you won't be so lucky." (another quote that switches out the name of the enemy Barry dies to. the image here says he died to vampires.)

and finally, a monster-death specific quote to end on :) if anyone knows about any more quotes i might have missed feel free to reply with them and i'll try to find a video or an image of them. i think i got all of them though,,, i hope so....

holy shit

i've been updating the Barry vtuber model a lot since yesterday's post and so far i think he looks really nice! i accidentally hyperfixated on drawing him and stayed up until like 11 PM drawing the rest of his head, so uhh,,, audhd win??? i think???? i dunno, here's the updates i've made to Barry:

this was one of the additions i did last night after the post. i drew up the rest of his chin and went ahead and coloured him in :) i added his beard and made a start on shading it, using colours from that one JJ2 promo artwork of Barry with his thumb up, you know the one,, he's already starting to look a lot more complete than yesterday!!

here i've drawn his mouth and added more shading to the side of his face, as well as little wrinkles near his eyebrows. if you squint hard enough, you can see some little discoloured pixels near the shading of his beard and the shading of his skin. that's cause i used the magic wand tool when shading his skin and didn't realise it until after i shaded it,, i'll fix it later if i don't forget :)

he has an ear now!! that's,,, that's kinda it really. those numbers at the top are there to tell me which brush thickness i used for certain sections of his hair. speaking of hair...

Barry now has a hairline :) not a complete hairline at this point, as i needed to fix up the sizing to make sure it doesn't skew oddly and make him look like he got a fucked up haircut. you can see that the left (Barry's left) part of the hairline goes out too far because i just pasted it on there to see how it'd look. also he has two ears now :P

... and here's how he looks as of right now! Barry now has a full hairline, proper line colouring, improved spacing in between his facial features and he now has the brand new feature of staring directly into the very culmination of your being :) now that i've repositioned his eyes, i realise just how weirdly cross-eyed he was before,, drawing them like that might have been a side effect of being inspired by the way eyes in MLP are kinda positioned close to the middle when they're looking ahead,,,

if you're wondering what all those tiny rectangles everywhere are, they're there as a sort of rough measurement tool to make sure everything is relatively lined up. it's basically a way to count how many pixels high or across something is from another asset so i can realign it. for example, Barry's eyes are 52 pixels across from where the whites of his eyes start in the middle of his face. if that sounds confusing, take a peek at the little lines in the whites of his eyes and you'll see that's where i was measuring. if you look closely you can see a tiny little '52' in the middle of his face from when i was counting :)

that's it for my progress on Barry's vtuber model stuff. again, this is mainly a personal project, so i may not finish it until much later if i lose interest, but i'll try to get him done in a reasonable amount of time. he's already looking good so far :)

ahhh to see a brand new and interesting Halfbrick video about one of their newly released games and wanting to see what others say about it, only to scroll into the comments have have literally all of them just be asking for Dan The Man 2 to release............... beautiful :')

everyone likes to make fun of Pepperman for looking like an apple, but i've never seen anyone call him a capsicum before...... i like to think calling a pepper a capsicum in the Pizza Tower universe is like calling someone an imbecile or something incredibly demeaning, and Barry has no idea because us people in Australia usually call bell peppers 'capsicums' :P

been kinda fixated on Rock-Afire Explosion for a few days,, it's an interest that keeps coming and going every now and then, and this time it's come back swingin' so i drew a little sketch of Beach Bear for the first time :)
