I would love to see your interpretation of either (or both if that's not too cheeky?) of my nominal "main" characters:

Morgana Fiolett (who is a magic sonic blaster, pagan and singer, always in purple!)
or Ibuprofen petite nurse, groupie of Vox Doom's and dedicated empath. (I'd cast Scarlett Johannsson as her if I was doing a film, if that's any help? Also, she doesn't wear the surgical mask any more.)

given it a go...

Loved the Ellie one, btw. That was just her, at least when she's happy.

Only an hour?

Wow! Excellent stuff indeed. How do you work, DD? Do you draw using a tablet straight into a painting package? or do you scan pencil and paper and then work on top of that? Just very curious

[/ QUOTE ]

i do very rough pencils, sometimes spending a little more time on a complicated element, then scan it in and bring the scan into illustrator. then work on it using the mouse (using the pencil tool), with a different layer for each element, so i can keep some control. i use a mouse rather than a tablet, as when i first tried using a tablet (years ago in college) i didn't get on with it at all, so have avoided them since then.

they don't take long because they're simple really. not many colours to mess with, and the wobbly-line style means i can get away with a lot where the drawing's concerned. keeping each colour / tint on it's own layer also means i can edit easilly where something's not going right.

i started doing the wobbly-line style simply because my pen and ink hand drawings were getting tighter and tigher, and not in a good way, so i wanted to inject a little more freedom into the drawings. the loosness of the style, whilst not being to many folks tastes, does mean i can do them very quickly

[ QUOTE ]
After all they DID create stuff that you only have acces to if you pay extra money. My concern is not that they make a power that is enormously unbalaced. My concern is that they keep creating things that give you an edge over people that don't use them. They ALLREADY did that with the Jetpack. Sure you have to pay for it every month but it will give you an edge over the rest of us who happen to need a travel power at 14 (except for the die hards out there).

[/ QUOTE ]

this pretty much sums up my feelings about it. i had misgivings when the wedding pack came out, with it offering items to people who could pay more. in an egalatarian (up to that point) game, if you had more money, your character would be different. at that point, it was only in a few costume items and a pointless emote, but a precident was set.

with the new packs, you are able to get an advantage using real-world cash. it's only a small advantage at the moment i admit, but in my opinion, that's a steep slope they're on.

the impact of real-world money on the game world will create a class system within Paragon. you will have advantages now, not based upon your play-style or your character's experience, but rather upon your ability to pay for it. we aren't there yet, but with each new pack we get closer.

i could buy these packs. i get paid well, and in the overall scheme of things, such an outlay is negligable, but i won't. in paragon, the city of supers, we're ironically created equal at the moment. with the addition of paid for extras that will change.

marvellous!

brilliant start

i love caramell!
