_Story_

I wouldn't mind having one of my characters done. You can click on the link in my signature and pick your favorite. I should remove a few from that list though and update others as I have either deleted them (Wild Party Girl), replaced them with a different version (Primus 7) or updated their look in Icon (Mana Kin, Ash Black, Canadian Crimson, Badge Collector, Cyanicide, D'Thelatek, Mistress Bloodshadow, Salvage Collector and the Phantom Echo with the wispy smoke aura).

I got such a laugh out of that! Thanks!

Minor problem with bunny ears. If you have any hair style with the hair "up" the normal ears on the head are visible.

It's supposed to be that way. They are Playboy Bunny type bunny ears not REAL bunny ears. None of the top-of-the-head style ears remove the normal human ears and that's the way it should be. Maybe they can add Rabbit and Feline to the Monstrous Head selections or something if you want real bunny ears or real cat ears.

I do like the fact that it is now possible to have sunglasses and cat ears at the same time.

But no longer possible to have cat ears and elf ears (and other assorted pointy ears) at the same time. My one character Ms Mew is in trouble!

I can really feel the rust at work here, and I'm still adjusting to the new graphics tablet (and such a small tablet it is too) but here is my first attempt at Wintermauler. The title here says Personamorpher vs. Wintermauler, and at the moment I think he's got a bit of an edge over me. Think I can make a comeback and pull off a victory? I'd be happy with just a draw.

Eh, I think the Dominators are doing fine. I think it's the egos of a few players here and there that need a bit of tweaking.

Ok, so this isn't going as planned, but with Wintermauler being the only one with 3 full points (putting him in the lead by just 1 point) I figure that's who I'll be drawing. I guess I'll be getting off easy for my first character picture for the Screenshots and Art forum section here as Wintermauler has a very simple costume design, as appealing as it is. Give me a week, and if I'm not done by then then it means I've been playing too much CoGs again ("City of..." Games).

Meh, but all you can see of Reptilectric is his lizardy head. I suppose that's ok. Otherwsie he might scare people too much.

Nothing really important or profound here.

In just one general and broad question, how or why or when did you start doing art (of any medium)?

I'd like to see how some artists got to where they are today.

Thanks for your time.

I am an ideas guy. One way to share my ideas, or simply lock them down in a format that keeps them fresh in my memory, is to draw. Writing is another. Computers make both so much more accessable.

The que is closed, guys, but he said he may reopen it when he finishes.

Oops.

Damn it. One day I will have money enough to buy a commission from you! ONE DAY!!!



Until then, nice work!

I know the feeling.

I can't believe that nobody here has identified Reptilectric yet. He's the only big bad lizard there. And happy birthday Dark Lilac! So far this is looking awesome! Incredible! Amazing! Spectacular!

Ok, I'm running through the forums now trying to get in on every list I can, so I guess that means I'm jumping in on this one as well. Now here comes the cruel part. The link to my characters is in my signature. There are currently 105 images there. Pick one. Any one. The one you like best and want to draw. Then draw it and post it here so that the forums can know more of your goody awesomeness.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!



Awesome!

See my signature. I haven't even updated the image page yet. I deleted Wild Party Girl and replaced her with a meaner and tougher Rudy Razorblades. Wild Party Girl was just a party girl who had too much to drink anyway. A joke character I no longer think is funny. New additions not shown are Magus Sul Na'Dath, Ash Black (a return to his original concept), Rudy Razorblades, and Marcus Bishop. You can see some of their info in the first link in my signature. I still have to get everything updated, but I'm a bit of a City addict and might spend too much time playing when I could be updating my info, taking screenshots and editting them, drawing and so much more. I blame the creators of this game for making me have too much fun.

I'm sorry, but I just have to comment on one thing. Someone sure likes the Chest Slider aye?

Some really cool character looks there though! Even if a bit... busty.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ummm... I seem to have trouble with this with my own artwork. I end up making them bustier then I intended to. I guess I have trouble making an accurate estimate when judging the size in artwork or other as compared to the real thing. I think part of the problem here is the way the breasts are shaped and the way they seems so artificial. Let me know which ones seem a little too busty to you and I'll see about fixing them up depending on whether I had actually intended them to be overly busty or not. For instance, with Nymphbot 7.0 it is very intentional. With Cyanicide I had another look and agree that she is far too busty. I went into Icon to fix that and discovered that I have no free costume change tokens and was ~2000 influence short to make just that one change. It will have to wait a bit. I think all my characters on my main account still have costume tokens though.

This is torture! I still don't know which of my characters was picked or even if I was picked!

Ok, so far it's looking like Wintermauler is in the lead.

I wanted some participation from the people here. I thought it would be nice to include the people here in the process. I'm also a bit curious to see what character would be chosen in the end. I'm somewhat hopeful that there will be enough people participating that it doesn't end up with me having to pick one without any input from others.

It seems Wintermauler and Sinbinder have the current lead, with Lesbith's Handmaiden and Masmandamus falling warly into last place. Not enough votes in yet, so keep it up. I need a clearer picture and this is still to open. Thanks for all your help.

I still don't know which of my 105 you picked, let alone if i was even picked!

I've decided that I'd like to try my hand at drawing one of my characters and submitting it to the forums here. I've decided that since I'd be showing it here that I would let the people gathered here decide which one of my characters I will draw. I have screenshots of 105 of my now 108 characters available for viewing. I'd like everyone to look through them all and then pick the 5 you like the most and the 5 you like the least. After enough people have posted I should have a good idea of who the overall favorite is. I will then announce the selection and proceed with creating that characters artwork. I would like people to take this seriously and not ignore my request. I tried to lower the size of the image files so they load quickly as there is 105 images after all. If anyone has trouble loading them then let me know. I might have to try and upload them on a service like Photobucket of the like.

Okay it was too difficult for me to exclude anyone, so I'm gonna try to fit everyone into this! This should be interesting!

[/ QUOTE ]

Ummm... I do hope that if you are including me that you are only picking just one of my 105 displayed characters. Otherwsies that's going to be a lot of drawing.

There's a bit of a long story behind it, but basically I've lost almost all of my confidence over the years in my ability to draw and almost completely stopped drawing. I'm still quite anxious whenever I try, but I've been trying to get back into my artwork. I'd like to thank the people here for posting their collections of great artwork as it's been inspiring me to get back into creating more of my own.

I'd like to be a more active part of this community. It may happen slowly at first, but I hope that eventually I can become a regular part of this community. Once I get access to a scanner I want to scan and post all of my older artworks, and then eventually begin posting new creations as I complete them. If I ask anything of this community it is simply to be patient with me.

I'm not very good at asking for things yet. I do try and act as polite as possible though.

While they all have biographies/backgrounds, not all are developed as much a few of my favorites have been. Also, here's the embarasing part, not all of them have been written up yet (even though they do exist within the confines of my imagination) as sometimes I think I spend a little too much time actually playing the game.

I really do have to sit down and write them all down sometime, and revamp some of the older ones as well. I also need to create avatar images for each and every one of them for City Game Tracker as most of them simply have some generic images I used until I actually get around to this. Life at the moment is a little chaotic right now and I'm in the process of trying to halt and reverse a lot of negative momentum that has built up over the years.

To note, Cyanicide is not a robot, but an attractive young lady decked out in a state-of-the-art customized combat ready powersuit.
