Rofl, thats beautiful, brilliantly done, and a bit disturbing all at the same time :P

That is an awesome costume MrsAlpha/Crown! Grats

*explodes from the awesomeness* HOLY -------------.

Damnit LJ, your stuff is too damn awesome for me to compliment, leaves me speechless every time. And you have no idea how long I've spent trying to come up with something suitable. Don't get me started on how hard its going to be for me to say thanks enough...

This forum routinely leaves in speechless, this is definitely one of those times. That is absolutely fantastic...

Adorable!

Sitting on the keyboard though?

I'd like to throw my two mains into the mix, seeing as how I love how your art has evolved and improved since I started lurking here DF
LadyLiberty and Ms Paragon
MA/Regen scrapper and Inv/SS tank, both with fly, if it helps to know...

Ms Paragon, Inv/ SS Tank
or
Lady Liberty, MA/Regen Scrapper
/e beg

Ignoring thread derailing, great work as always LJ

*starts to cry because she's on page 5*

Thats absolutely amazing work.

I'm a Justice native, I have a few toons on Virtue, but I play about 99.5% of the time on Justice. Globals @Gaderath. I started as an art appreciator, became an artist wannabe, and am gradually moving into artist. I know of a couple art appreciators/collectors on Justice, but I think the majority of people are on Virtue and Liberty, but I could be wrong.

Very nice! Doh, its been said? It bears repeating! Can't wait to see it finished

Looks great Durs, spot on!

Guys... don't ruin Moggies thread with something like this...

I think it's a great idea Moggie, and hope you get some great artists to think the same (shouldn't take much).

First, I know you can see text bleed through from the other side, I only got a real sketch pad today, and have been using the back of reports and stuff for school, sometimes I edit it out, sometimes I don't... I haven't on any of these yet... :/
Second, I know they're pretty novice-ish, and I have a LOT to learn. I got a new drawing book, and wanted to try out some stuff in there (not sure it really helped though).

Lastly, the scanner occasionally cuts off pieces (like the top of the head on one of them). I thought I had figured out how to stop that, but apparently not... And it makes a lot of the shading way darker than it is on paper, gets rid of a lot of the casual gradients I spent forever working on, heh.

All these were drawn from upside down screenshots btw. I normally try to avoid drawing from stuff in the game, or superhero stuff in general, but I cracked and did a bunch of it today/yesterday.

The first pic is my tank (Inv/SS) on Justice, currently 35, Ms Paragon. The screenshot for this was one of several I had taken to make a composite reference pic on the off chance I could get someone to draw her

The second pic is an oooold costume of mine. When i9 came out I got a pair of fairy wings and wanted to do a fairy costume. I didn't try very hard (with the costume or drawing), and came up, more or less, with this. 1/2 way through the drawing I knew I didn't really care for what i was drawing or how it was turning out, so I never did add the wings... *shrug* The leaves were kind of fun though.

Next is my main (50 MA/Regen scrapper on Justice), LadyLiberty. I kind of like how this one turned out, but I have a lot of nitpicks with it too. (the head/face being a big one...)

And lastly, my tank again. Really wanted to practice foreshortening a bit with this one. I think some things are over/under foreshortened, but the effect is there at least. My main gripe is the left leg, especially below the knee... And once again I wish I'd spent more time/effort on the face...

Any advice, opinions, and helpful critiques are very very welcome (especially adive and critiques).

I think it looks great so far...

It's hard to tell without hair (and I'm not one you would probably want to take art advice from anyway ) but the forehead looks a bit wonky.

Cinderella? Man, I haven't seen/heard that in a while....

Anyhoo, looks great!

Hi Gaderath. My take isn't as decadent as you'd requested, but I had sooo much fun making this outfit that I had to share! Those who know me shouldn't be surprised that I chose to go the classier (in a very colorful way) route!

Those who know me are probably, or probably will be, shocked by this character, even if I do something as tame as the one you have here, this is so absurdly different than what I normally do. I do like the one you made a lot, as well as a lot of the others, and the final result with probably be a blend of these, as I can't decide, they're too good

Wow, these are some really great carnie costumes, the problem for me seems like its not going to be finding a good one, but narrowing the good ones down to just 1! Thanks guys!

It's great to see this bumped up again, it's a great idea, and I've seen a lot of "help with costume" threads lately.

And once again I turn to the creative talents of you amazingly talented people. The Egyptian idea fizzled, but you guys helped tremendously with my Ms Paragon idea.

I'm attempting to do something *very* different from what I normally do and am known for. I usually do superheroic and patriotic costumes, with little to no skin showing. I wanted to do something darker/sexier. There have been a few guys egging me to do a bunny or cat toon for a while, but if I do do something like this, I want it to be a *bit* more original than that. Someone made me promise, if he gave me a suggestion, I'd try it out before I said no. He suggested an ex-Carnival of Shadows. For some reason, I actually liked the idea... It's still got my usual brighter colors (if a little less tastefully so), its (I'm told) sexy, and it has the depravity I was looking for (maybe too much so...). I did up a couple test costumes, but couldn't get them to look as good as I know they could look in this game. I was thinking the white face is a must, and I'd like to have a main (or *the* main) color be red to go with 1 of two names I'm considering (Crimson/Rose Harlequin). The hair would probably also be red, though I'm open to anything that looks good. I was thinking the diamonds pattern would be required, but have yet to find a good way to work it in, as you can't apply patterns to tops/bottoms with skin patterns, or gloves/boots.

Story for her was roughly planned to be an ex-Carnie, cast our because her psychic powers seem to only apply to plants (I'd be a plant/* dom) or if I did Crimson instead of Rose, an ex-Carnie cast out because she was too nuts (I'd be a mind/* dom) and/or ambitious within the organization. Or something... I dunno for sure yet

Like I said, this is so totally opposite from what I normally do, I'm at a bit of a loss on how to do this and make it look good to me (a few guys have said already the tests look good to *them* but I'd like my toon to look good to me as well...)

Any official word as to how this is going to work? Do you chose what weapon you'll use at power selection? Costume creation? Will you be able to change it at will at icon? Different weapons for Different costumes? Or will it require a respec? Or will it be unchangeable once you've started?

Ill reserve judgement till I see what new models we get But yeah, I'm pretty excited about that. Though I don't have any weapon using toons, I hope this is a start to power customization... And THAT will open up drawing even more...

Very nice! I love the look on the 'citizen's' face

[/ QUOTE ]

*Laughs* Awwww, remember when we used to use real citizens?

Joking aside, great work!

OOOooo! Thanks! Can't wait!

The last render I posted was Lady Liberty so I'll quickly list what I have done so far.

With some digging I found it...

And for some folks, that cane is gonna look like it's in a mighty odd place *koffkoffkoff*

[/ QUOTE ]
I had to put the cane somewhere seeing as it's his signature item/weapon.

I think it's exactly the kind of thing Rorschach would do, too. Nice work
