*BIG HUGS for the hyper one*

Welcome back and great to see ya!

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, wait, your name is "the hyper one"?

Every time I read it I read "The Pheremone" cause I can't spell and I swear I'm slightly dyslexic. That's why I always remember the pheremone as Fallen Skye it's easier.

Well, I'm not sure if you know who I am, but, I'm totally willing to give you a *hugs* for your burns.

Look at that mesh! I hate meshing. It's the bane of my existence. But look at it there!

The shading does wonders for the realistically. But Jesus Almighty I could study for a year and not be able to get the mesh to fade smoothly together at the edges like it's supposed to.

Bravo bravo! I finally made a forumuser just to go on like an idiot. B'D

[/ QUOTE ]

Welcome to the forums =^.^= feel free to go on like an idiot on any of the art you see here, I'm sure the artist won't mind

Now, does this mean you'll be showing how much you hate meshing with some art of your own

wow Ether is right, thats a huge task you have made for yourself! Ty for taking that on.


Oh and side note:

Archiving not Archieving

[/ QUOTE ]

thanks, I was really tired and my english in not good.

So I just spent seven hours going throught the bottom of the Art Forum and I took out links to art and screenshots from the threads and put them in my Art Forum Archieve . This way we don't have to feel bad about wiping out a lot of the art threads which are "Look at my art, praise, praise, praise". I know you will lose a lot of the context to the art posts but it frees up a lot of thread space.

So, If anyone wants to double check to make sure I'm not asking to delete anything of importance, go right ahead.

Most posts I suggest have no art in them (question or request for art threads) or have had the art linked in my archieving thread.

So I decided I'd go through all the posts of the Art Forums and grab the links to art from the threads. This is so that we can have something to look at while I go and suggest that threads be put into the Recycle bin. I've spent abotu seven hours so far, and I plan to put in about seven hours every sunday I can, this should only take about a year to go through the entire Forum.

Most of the links are what they were in the thread. I tried to get a little context if I thought I could. I only selected the links that were for art and screenshots, I tried to skip those that were ment for reference shots, 'cause this would take forever if I tried to get those too.

I have the categories separated, then the user that posted the link and then the links.

oooh nice, I like the neon likeines of that piece.

I really like that background, I think it really adds to the tone.

Nice outfits, I don't have Flash, but if it wasn't so darn expensive I'd have made you a paper doll game by now.

nothing wrong with that, pieces have been looking good =b

You know every time someone says they are willing to do free art I go and update my reference pics just for them =^.^=

So I went and updated Gata Anaranjada just for your consideration

oh, I thought it was a PB, but either way it's pretty sweet

I just wanted to chime in my "You gals/guys are awsome" for doing what you do. If I had any artistic talent I wish I could help out too, but in stead I'll just cheer vosotros on from here. =^.^=

Don't be worried, anyone that asks for free art will love what ever you do with it. And they will wait indefinately for it, because any art is more than what they had before. They also know that it's also up to the artist to A) do what ever they want with it B) get it done when ever they want and C) if the artist chooses to do thier character or not.

So, keep up the good work, have fun with it and feel free to add Gata Verde to the list ;3.

Well, honestly half the ideas come from some random costume I made for that character. There are no greater stories hidden behind the allusions I have created. I also don't know if I'd be a good enough of a story teller to keep the reader engaged.

I do hope to nuture these little nuggets of story to hopefully support a series of short stories. I just don't have the mind for details, grand sweeping summarizations is how I think.

It didn't feel as long when I created it, actually I have trouble meeting the max of written assignments and I look back to see ten pages! Of course that spans 16 characters, but I don't normally write that much.

If that's punishment, then chain me to the wall :3

Well, for those of you hat are so kind (<3 Vosotros =^.^=) as to help me edit my bio, let me give you the true life story of how Gata came to be (trust me this won't be as long).

So, my roommate in college was playing CoH and he asked if I wanted to try it out. Well, this was my first MMO and first exposure to comicbook culture, so it was new and intriguing.

Well, at first, I wasn't really taking charcater creation seriously, so I made a catgirl with the least amount of clothes... and red, cause it's the color of disire. I took Mind Control because it had the power Dominate > and I took empathy cause I thought I'd enjoy being the 'healer'. Now the name... "Red Cat" [Name has been taken]... hmm... well, I'm taking spanish: "Gata Roja", and Gata was born.

Now this was on my friend's account so I had to get my own account, but what would I fill it with? Oh, I know! A cat of nine lives needs nine toons and I went through all the builds I thought I might be interested in and started making a Gata of every color and shade leaving place holder toons for my eventual Khelds.

When CoV came out I decided that I would make one villain on my friends account and the four slots left on my acount to make a villain of every origin and AT (this was when Origin start powers were new) I had a previous alias of JadeWolf so I went with Loba for the nemisis to Gata.

So, yeah, as many have pointed out this is like a "what's happened in the last 43 years" approch to my bio. At first each Gata only had a power set and color to define her, but as I played each of them I started making costumes and more elaborate stories for them. But even still, these stories are still kinda slim. Also, I think I was trying to make excuses for bad costumes, that might be why that Icon part seems out of place.

And thanks for any and all feed back, I bet awkward sentences might have slipped in, I swear, I proofread it first. It's a work in progress as always, and I'm always trying to improve it. For those of you that think shorter is better I've got my old V2 which was desinged to have each "chapter" fit inside the bio box. This is my V3 version which didn't try to fit into nine bio spaces. I'll link it in my OP too.

Nine Lives of Gata V2

wow, lots of great stuff I think all you creative ppl are doing an awsome job, keep up the good work =^.^=

Okay, so I've been working on my Bio for my character Gata, well technically it's like 16 bios in one. I don't know how I should break it up since the bio for each toon isn't very long, but put them all together it's like 10 pages.

It's where most of my creativity goes so if anyone could spare the time, I'd love a critque on it. Also If anyone knows a good way to break it down so it might be easier to read, let me know.

If you don't have the time or energy to read it, then if you have any suggestions about making bios please feel free to put that here and I'll take it into consideration.

Nine Lives of Gata V3

And for my old [u]shorter[u] version

Nine Lives of Gata V2

Yeah, honestly, I thought they were all great costumes, and they could all be leaders in their own way.

I was also thinking maybe you don't need an active leader, but a leader like Professor Xavier. I mean, I'm not sure if there is a designated leader of the X-Men other than him, even though he's not usually in any battles.

That's a great piece, it's neat to see through the mask a little, haven't seen that before.

nice coloring, just watch out for those scissor scrappers and you should be alright

I thought of Plasma Cannon kinda as a leader type, but then I didn't want to fall into the "He's wearing stars/stripes with red/white/blue, he must be the leader type" train of thought.

so you were out to get a screenie of yourself with 10K posts?

We'd love to have some great options to put in front of the dev team (from Community) for use in optional in-game advertisements. If anyone else out there reading has some ideas or images they would like to share, we'd love to hear and see them!

[/ QUOTE ]

Do the images have to advertise something real?

Is there anyway for targeted advertising (like by server) or is it just a cross server cross faction advert?

Are there any time constraints we can add (for limited time events) or are they going to be put in and stay in?

Is there a link to a thread specifically for in game adverts with all the size, format, dementional and content restrictions?

yay huggles

I was just mesmerized by the nice round... number of 10K and noticed it wasn't changing so I just had to post this.

But, it seems you out smarted my ploy to get your 10K1 post :3 Soul Train clone?
