In the spirit of Wintermas, Vet Rewards and the Winter/Holiday Event (see Training Room for details), my demon-posessed katana boy got a new alt costume.

Hi! I'm the ... uh... Christmas Demon!

Unresized, smallness photobucket's fault. Will fix later. Too busy skiing.

EDIT:: closer for detail , impressive wingspan

Also pointing out the peculiarity of color tones on different parts of the body... his top is "Tights -> Bare Chest Muscular" with a black skin tone but his head and hands are darker than his torso.

So, wait -- You're finding wallpapers? I'm a tad confused. Are you finding wallpapers and showing them to us, or vice versa, or both..?

Everyone showing off what wallpaper they currently have? >.>

(mine currently is a tiled semicollage of David Mack art)

A guy arguing with someone for hitting on his sister?

My characters Dealus and Technikolour are twin siblings, psychically linked and can hear each-other's thoughts and emotions. That can be run with in any direction.

Tech is quiet and sweet but a little flakey. She's a kinetics/archery defender who manipulates spiritual and magical energy. Her bow and arrows are also made of energy (she calls it her "Aurabow").

D is pretty much captain angstpants and is a little bit skitzophrenic. He's a katana/regen scrapper, trained from about the age of 5 in martial arts and given self-healing powers through Oranbegan magic... a side-effect of having an evil Circle of Thorns spirit stuck in his head.

Most of their backstory is in the links above.


Here's some better screns of Tech: 1 2 3 4

I'll get better ones of D later today.

Thanks... sounds like a crazy/fun idea. Good luck!

PM sent. :P

Do we get to see all the entries after the contest is over?

Why is Radey looking at her finger? o.O

That's my only critique, looks good to me.

I think the forehead goggles are an i8 piece...

Nice thing with the over-the-shoulder capes is that with the reaper mask I might be able to fake an appropriate scarf now.

Year 3...I still want a motorcycle...I doubt that will happen though.

There's no easy way that I know of... the usual method is to get FRAPS or some other video-capture program and just film your demos

Thnx guys!

O-Girl, I suxxor's at the Digi-thing, but that was done with a crop from a "Tekken 5" wallpaper(Kazuya who's the MAN!).

Oh, cool. I actually thought it was chalk pastels.

Love the gnome.

I gotta ask, what did you use for the firey stuff in the Phoenix pic?

M'kay then. I've got a girl, a guy, and a robot.

1.) Technikolour, Kinetics/Archery/Speed Defender, front / side / back / close-up

2) Broken Circle, Ninja Blade/Ninjitsu/Leaping stalker, front / side / back / close-up

3.) iH3RD, fire/superstrength tanker, front / side / back / close-up

I know, I have incredibly stereotypical costumes. >.>
Bios available upon request.

Should we post our screens after the hat-drawing, then?

Definitely good advice. I wish I had started drawing earlier, and kept up after high school..

I am 22, right smack in the middle. I am willing to offer translation services if they are ever required. :P

Hmm... What 3 to pick...

I'll probably regret this but, I'm in. I promise I'll use computer paper and not lined. >.>

I tend to interpret an overuse of smilies as the textual equivalent of nervous fidgeting. :P

... that's my excuse, anyhow >.>

Yeah, its sort of the classic "wow that's alot of power" ki explosion type thing...

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought so, I was just curious. In that sort of explosion thing you don't have to bother getting all the bits of fabric and hair to flow in the right direction... it might have more 'oomph' if her hair was flying up or back instead of to the left, but that's just IMO. And she might just end up looking like she's going super saiyin >.> bleh, ignore me.

As for the pectorals... I'm confused <;.;>; she's err... very 'small' up top.. but not quite flat... err... but with the clothing flying away from the body I figured it wouldn't leave much impression >.< or am I getting the raw body shape wrong? <~.~>; <;.;> ack

[/ QUOTE ]

You've drawn the chest line a bit too square, and at that angle I'd think they'd, well, hang down a bit, if she were endowed. Since she isn't, you could just erase the chest lines completely and you'd still get your point across. An a-cup isn't going to be too visible (if at all) with the fabric coverage there.

So, what's going on there? Is she transforming or exploding in chi or what?

It looks cool, the perspective on the face is good.

Her chest looks a little more male than female.. even if she's flat-chested, pectorals don't tend to be formed that way on girls.

Nooo they must be properly shaded and spaced! >.<

heh, um, you're welcome ^-^

One of my guildie buds wants one too, so, I suppose I can post that here when I'm done...

Done!

Phew.

And I ended up not doing the spikes... sorry. They were so complicated to figure out. o.o

gettin' there.

Lineart kinda done ... took some artistic lisence with TA's outfit. >.>

Color flats next.

Off to bed for now but: Progress

Thanks ^-^

Um, I'll see what I can do, TA...

Short Post: Hi! I drew a thing! It's chibish and sux but w/e, I drew it with a mouse! (Scroll down to link!)

Long, Rambling Post: I've been wanting to get in on the Hot Art Action down here in this coolest subsection of the forums, but so far I've been mostly lurking. Not for lack of interest or anything, but lack of scanning equipment makes it kinda hard to participate. And the inability to be an attention [censored] and show off my stuff kinda nullifies my motivation...

So I thought to myself, I said "self, if you're going to be scanning things in and tracing over in photoshop to make the lines clean, why not just draw your thing in photoshop to begin with?" I know. What was I smoking.

What I managed to churn out was this rediculously terrible thing:

Chibi City?

(see, look at the flying dude in the background, it's Paragon! it's CoH relevant >.> <.< )
I am aware the one side of her face is wonky.

Unfortunately I'm not too much better with a pencil and paper: Picture Via Cameraphone
