Good guide! You've actually influenced the way I may re-spec my scrapper... or at least swap some slotting around.

Very very interesting.

This is really good Aaron! <^,^> Keep it up! /clap; Doesn't hurt that you picked one of my favorite FPS characters any either <,<

<O_O> OMG! <^o^> that rocks my non-existent socks!

Hey Rowr, I love when people respect the artists' postition. I am going to do a quick pencil sketch just for you to ink and post at will

[/ QUOTE ]

Know what would be cool? If we put up a number of pencils and inks for people to practice their inking and colors, then others could practice and get feedback. Have an ongoing thread (maybe even a stickied thread).

Just an idea.

[/ QUOTE ]

I love this idea! >,< I'm still getting the penciling thing "down" but I'm obviously gonna need to practice it all eventually <,< I think this is an excellent thought!

Hehe <^.^>m glad you like it overall!

The pants were <'x'> well frankly <~_~>; I was too embarassed to draw below the waist without em >.> dunno why; just a thing <'x'> (you'd think with all the cracks I make around the forum it wouldn't matter lol)

The stomach was an attempt to make him more 'bear' like >,< I was making a value judgement based on A) He's a panda; and B) CoH doesn't let you be 'rotund' at all - so I went with what sounded right <~_~>; sorry I messed up <;.;>

Anyways, glad the pic was to your liking mostly though <^.^>m I'll have to be a bit more careful with costume modification in the future >_< (I have a hard time drawing some bits on some chars <'x'> So I have to change em somewhat; like Zephyr Cyclone's shoulder rings >.> I couldn't get em right!)

WOOHOO! >_< I are on 'teh roll' as it were! <^_^> /pride

This one I tried doing in a *totally* different way... I didn't spend much time erasing at all, instead, I just went insane adding lines >.< I'm pretty happy how it turned out; though I don't like the pants much... anyways, lemee know what you think <^.^>

Panda Monium!

I altered the costume somewhat to reflect what I *think* was the character owner's intent >.> if I got it wrong <;.;> please don't bap me too hard? Though if I get it right; adulation and praise are welcome <^,~> (Hey, I have a huge but fragile ego <'x'> whatcha expect?)

Ya know, the game still belongs to him >.>

Besides, I think that whole Zeus thing is kinda cool.

[/ QUOTE ]

I gotta agree, maybe its just because I read the book though >.>

I mean, I won't deny the signature chars are WAY overpowered compared to us when in Hero/AV form; but at least when they're in EB form we stand a pretty good chance of beating them 1v1 - which I think is awesome.

Also, States is kind of what the game is partly *based* on; just from a story thing. If States as a character hadn't been around; it's doubtful that any of the other heroic stuff would have happened like it did (you'd have to read the backstory >.&gt

We can argue with the specifics all we want, but the game is a better place all around.

[/ QUOTE ]

Except for The Hollows... I can never forgive him for that.

[/ QUOTE ]

lol <'x'> Ok I'll agree to that one! <,< Lol <;.;> sad thing is, I had fun with it the first time I tried it; every time since its like I'm cursed to die horribly there lol ><

First - Excellent taste in music. ELO is awesome. It's good to know there are other people who like them <,< mwahahahaaa

Second - Excellent concept <@_@> I would advise though, perhaps zooming in a bit more. Perhaps have the earth itself be *nearly* the whole picture; but with the grey clouds surrounding it (obscuring the edges in places).

I'm not sure what to tell you about the rain... the idea is solid; but the blue lines... I really dunno on that one >< Still; very cool idea there <^-^> I think working with this image more could provide something REALLY good if you get the wild hair to try revising it sometime for kicks <^,^>

I'm still one of the few who thought the nerfs were a good thing >.> In I5 especially (though I admit - and this was stupid of me; but I admit it - I griped loudly about the Regen nerf in I5 until I tried it out.) But anyways, I think CoX plays better today than before frankly. <-- got easily annoyed with people herding entire maps.

I generally agree that both devs are awesome in their own respects too - though I'm not sure I think Posi will do anything 'loot'like.

I *am* slightly worried about him wanting to focus the story a bit more...it could be excellent; but I'm worried it'll narrow character concepts. Just the same - I'll take a wait and see approach, because like I said, it *could* be quite good.

LOL. No stock options for me. I'm one of the founders here!

So in other words <@,@> you already own most of the stock <,< thus it'd be hard to get more? <,<

Hehe <^_^> I types em! Most are "typical" anime faces - but with kitty ears I use < > for ears <,< then stuff like ^_^ ;.; -.- etc...

<^,~> <-- my own invention; as is <~.~>

the rest of it is mostly just modified stuff hehe <,< I've oddly found a *few* people using similar ones <,< But I call originator cause I was using these back when I played DAoC something on the order of 6 or so years ago <,< actually, jeez... 7 or 8 years now.

<'x'> I <3s me smilies (if you ever care to know <,< I can splain what's what too)

Oooh, if you do be sure to post it <^,^> curious what you come up with!

I tried to do him 'western style' <'x'> but as an anime freak with very limited interest in regular comics <,< it proved difficult... glad you liked it hehe <^_^>m I didn't notice the head thing til just now though >_< you're right hehe <;.;> darn

Oh well, practice practice practice!

Next Victim: Panda Monium! <^.^>m <gets out pencils!>

I colored one of the sketches for Bayani. Keep in mind that I did *not* pencil the art.

[/ QUOTE ]

While you may not have pencilled it... I REALLY like the color in this pic! <@.@> excellent! Your cave city was also an interesting conception <^_^>m I'll check out the music a bit later (atm I've gotta have my morning Metallica fix <'x'> or my brain won't work the rest of the day!) Got me curious though; I like Daft Punk <,<

Rawr! <^_^> Another one done!

This is Fault's character - Zephyr Cyclone. I had to simplify the costume a bit >< and I'm a total newb at drawing male characters and super-hero costumes in general; but I did my best. I may have overused the lightning motif... ><

Anyways, lemee know what you think! <^_^> (in particular; how'd I do on the musculature? The face I know isn't perfect <;.;> I tried; but guys are... difficult) Anyway, any comments/criticisms welcome <^_^>m

Posted this in my home server forum, too, but since this is where the artists hang out...

My first outburst of creative fallout.

I'm no artist. I don't want to be. I've seen how they suffer. :P If this just makes people giggle I'll be content. ^^;;

[/ QUOTE ]

OMG <'x'> You have to do more now.. that's like... perfect CoH webcomic material >_< <3!

OMG <@_@> just on a whim I went through the rest of this thread... usually people don't post more than one pic in a thread <,< but... wow <@_@> more! <,< lol, all cute lol!

Though being a kitty <;.;> I'm scared now... <runs!> <,<

I love the concept in that one Lunar <o_O> knocking the mask off was a really good idea <,<b The skull's head is a bit big (though if you could show the body and him flying toward the camera, that'd alleviate it without modifying the head at all) - but really, I like it <^,^> coolness.

Looks good colored <^_^> Now if only we could figure out a way to make your drawings more fluid >_< but hell, what'm I saying, you're moving right along <^,~>b so I have no doubt that before long you'll pick it up.

Can't wait to see this landscape <^-^>

Thankies! <^,^>b hehe; glad you like em <^,^>m

Thanks for letting me draw your char Katfood <^,^> she was good practice (especially since it was a good way to ween myself away from kitties, without getting too unfamiliar <,&lt

If you like londer - the site that helps me alot when do this kinda thing is www.howtodrawmanga.com (hope the linky works >.&lt - it's not all encompassing, but if you ever get the thought you'd like to try an anime style <^,^> it works great!

I also have a couple books >.> mainly I use one called "Manga Madness" which is a nice basic tutorial; I don't really use it these days, but when I was starting it got me the basics down pat <,< though honestly, you're good enough you prolly don't need that stuff yourself hehe <'x'>m

Forgot to mention <,< it's supposed to be cold hehe, it's breath! <T_T> sorry

Here we go! <,< FINALLY! I finished one <'x'>

This is Feral Kat, who PMed me before I'd even gotten a response in the thread! Next in line: Fault's character "Zephyr Cyclone" (who I've yet to start on >.&lt

Sorry things are so slow around here all <;.;> I'd planned this first pic to debut 4 days ago <x,x>m anyways, lemee know what you think <^_^> the good, the bad, the ugly - any suggestions are totally welcome.

Oh, and >< please let me know if I suceeded at giving her a "plastic/latex" look for the mask >.<; that's what I was trying for; but I'm having a hard time telling myself; so any comments in regard to that would be welcome.

Anyway, without further ado...

- Feral Kat - After a tough fight.
