Riving is actually Fire/thorns dominator....

if looked at from far away (or if its dark) the thorns dont look "specifically" like bone or wood... they just look twisted and sharp... So, I decided that they were metal, and their odd coloration(and toxic damage, and the fact that they "dissolve" when not in use) was due to the organic metal they were made from almost instaintaniously corroding when exposed to oxygen (i.e. once they've burst through Mary's skin)

so, they are in a constaint state of rapid decay (thus, the toxic damage comes from hurling shards of rusty metal into her enemies)

I have redrawn the pic on a new piece of paper with a slightly changed pose. I think this one looks better overall.

As usual, critiques welcome, want this to be great.

enough about the paper... the pic is AWSOME, man... I love the pose...its almost got a feline quality to it... like:
"TA is stalking you but frankly, he doesnt need to be sneaky, because hes just that awsome...and you suck....a duck.......for luck"

ok, that is absolutely Marvelous!(tm)


I love it... I hope the kid thought it was better than perfect... cause, well, it is

I think I made myself Pretty clear over on DA

Just to clarify.. I actually said the reverse.... that, infact.. Origins would be a part of the BSPPs, alongside Lone Wolf, Rogue, etc...

basically, at level zero, you get a "free" BSP, out of the BSPPs we currently can choose from called origins.

I want to make origins a part of the BSPPs, not BSPPs a part of a character's "Origin"



the logic, is that... for a new hero, the most important thing about him/her, is how they derived their powers (the current definition of "origin"). So, the first thing the common folk of Paragon/Isles would know about the latest bad bargin would be their classic origin.

however... for some characters, that origin just enabled them to do hero-work at a super human level (a long time cop getting cybernetic arms, for example)
where as other characters, their origin is their defining characteristic, and everything else is based on that (A young boy finding an ancient grimoire that enables him to cast elemental magic)

so, we need to have the (BSP) option to "evolve" the origins... to deepen their relavence to our characters BackStory.


thus... the origins each need their own BSPP along with the other, play style, BSPPs.




Origin's would now have meaning and relavence, to a certain degree, because when you get to whatever milestone enables you to first aquire BSPP's, you will already have the first level BSP for your origin pool. following the agreed upon "unlocking progression", this free power would enable you to take the 3rd power in your origin pool from the get go (basically giving you a jumpstart in that pool)

Of course, this would enable you to choose from Multiple origins (as all other origins would appear in the BSPPs) so you could "flesh out" the BackStory of, say A Magically Imbued Robot Ninja..... without being "stuck" with a single origin...


however, you dont HAVE TO evolve your origin, or select other origins at all... as there is still the full list of "play style" BSPPs, that you can use to better define your character...



with the limited number of BSPs selectable, and the system of unlocking, you are able to restrict mini-maxing behavior, while still allowing players the freedom to choose anything they want.

still seems like its at an angle, cold (but its always the same leaning, so you're rockin awsome consistancy... I certainly cant claim that...)
Was it intentional this time? (cause it looks sort of like TA's flying...)

someone mentioned doing that cross bar thing.... have you tried it out yet?
if so.... is this one of them? if not... hows it working out for you?


btw, Im still liking the detail

Heyo

er... Im there too.... but Im not that "art cool" yet

hehehe... she has my roomate's flair for dramatic poses, it seems.


Groovie

hahah... up-to-date is easy.... getting it "complete" will be hard.


luckily though, Im only including characters that I consider "regulars" for me... (i.e. not just every single alt ive made.. cause right now I have to delete two alts just to make a new character ;P)


I'll look into a background... Im not exactly sure how to do it in hometown (in the past ive only ever used it as a free pic-hosting site, cause, well, its free, and when I started most free sites were just starting to "not work" when you hot linked them...)

Miya is up and running (Kazemori)

same basic set up as the others... but I figured I'd point it out incase anyone cares.

So... did someone guess right?

{edit:} ignore me, apparently I cant read OPs...

"...great start..."

What do you think I could do to work towards "completeing" the content (other than, you know.. putting up other characters...)

What content do you think Im missing... or is there something else I could improve on?

its awsome, Love it :-D

Well, I can understand his confusion....

I mean... the 'Belle isnt in the picture and after all, Buck... ARE there other girls?

yea... I guess Im just a little OCD about symmetry... and from a (not artist) perspective... it didnt seem terribly necessary to have a squared up image, when everything was already "visible" with the angles already presented.

Im sure I'll have to do lots of revising over the weeks and months...

hahah.. you have no idea how many times I had to remake that character to find the top that got missed by the thorns....


Im glad you liked it

:OD

thanks! :-D

ok, ok... "fixed" I hope...

also, Violent Strain is up and operational...

no no.. if you didnt see it, it means someone else didnt see it... Check back in like... 5 minutes and tell me what you think, would you?
