  1. I stand corrected.

    I forgot Crisis Units even existed.
  2. Don't forget Fearsome Stare, that one's got two different animations too.

    I'll be keeping my tentacles, thanks (my dark corruptor is water-themed!) - but it would be really cool to see both kinds of animations as choices for both the new and the old sets.

I think is fine for the levitating villain but around the hero it looks a little off to me.

    It reminds me a bit of pouring water from a pitcher around miniatures to simulate a flood the water lacks the scale of the miniatures. It doesn't spray churn and foam the same way. Water scale is a pet peeve of mine, the old movies where they sink a miniature titanic give me fits.

    Overall though it's a very good piece of artwork. I especially love the storm in the background.
    No, Seasquall's the villain

    The water around Wavebreak is like that because it's supposed to look like the tentacles are thrashiing around and whipping it into foam.

    if your interested though take a look at this. I pushed back the first contest to start in April to give me time to move to/get settled in Japan
    I'd think about it, but I don't know the first thing about any of your subjects and if I don't feel like I have a good understanding of the subject... you know, that might be why I don't take commissions, now that I think about it.


    Re: Everyone else - Thank you I can only hope that this quality eventually shifts closer toward being typical, because it really, really isn't right now!
  6. I remembered the Oracles and Prophetesses and suddenly it got a lot easier to think of my controller as a Talon. The Illumineer is a particle physicist whose weapon is light - not in the sense of lasers, more in the sense of mind-control rays (this is comic-book land!). I think the Talon version would probably be a Mind/Energy dom.



    The dilemma of not being able to put bird feet with a skirt resolved itself when I remembered the lower-level bosses in the First Ward, some of whom wear boots.

    I'll, uh, let you know if I ever start taking commissions.

    They scare me.

    You're sick, Steelclaw. I love you.
  9. Heh. Usually I'm a Preservation type but today was a Passion day, apparently... my hand hurts now...

    There's some good stuff that shows up there from time to time... it's definitely worth stopping in once in a while. I mostly go there for the costume design threads, because I am a tailor junkie and I like seeing what people do with it.
  11. My other two characters that I play with any regularity weren't working for it... one's an ill/rad troller and the change would have rendered her a completely different character so I figured what's the point, and the other is, well, a man.

    Besides, Oougel was fun
  12. ...Something about this mental image had me painting nonstop like a woman possessed and it may be the best thing I've ever made.

    Characters are Wavebreak, my friend's scrapper, and Seasquall, my corruptor.
  13. As if Oougel weren't enough of an eldritch abomination already... she's a hybrid human/Rularuu escaped product of mad science.



    I think that, if she ever deigned to join the Talons (which she wouldn't, she doesn't need their help to punish the guilty :P), the Talon version would be a claws/WP stalker instead of a fortunata.

    Vorpal

    Thematically it's great for my Fortunata - take your eye off her for a SECOND and man, now everyone's been smacked upside the head - but I find it to be too easy to accidentally point myself the wrong way. Plus, the icon is green, and I kept confusing it for Rebirth.
  15. Oh right, I forgot all about mechanical changes... I don't have any stalkers, but that guilt-stricken Midnighter character I mentioned in my last post happens to be a Gravity controller, so at least he gets that silver lining (and such a shiny one)! Dimension Shift is still useless, but Wormhole and Propel are now, IMO, what they always should have been. Running DA arcs at +4 (which is +1 because the character is +3) is made possible to me by the Wormhole changes... it may be tricky to use, but learning curve aside, I would not hesitate to say that Gravity finally has a decent AOE control.

    I've always enjoyed Gravity. The difference is that now I feel like much less of a masochist for it.
  16. Changing shader quality from medium to high fixed it.

    Pity my computer isn't powerful enough to handle actually playing the game that way, if I'm not soloing.
  17. My main character, as it happens, is a Midnighter who is old enough to have known the Dream Doctor personally, and whose main driving forces include the fear of death and a guilty conscience.

    I am ECSTATIC.

  20. Does the solo content have a chance to drop enhancement catalysts?
  21. I wish we could just trade them, personally. I have two, but can't use them until I have five, and they aren't dropping.

    Awesome looking stuff, folks!

    Might have been asked, but any chance of getting the jar-brain as a "head" in the bubble helment? Already saw the (not unexpected) issues making the beast heads impossible™, but the floaty brain shouldn't have that problem.
    This should be doable by adding bubble helmets as an option for jar shape on the jar-brain head option list.
