Ghost

Alright, I've taken some time to evaluate these pieces and have graded them in the areas I have specified.


First place!
Knightly with his "everyone loves Erik"
And to think he didn't really want to join the contest because he hates contests
The grades: Originality 8, Finish 6, Accuracy 9, feel 8. Rounding off to 7.75

Second Place!
soulasylum with his "Save The World, Save The Bunny"
Curiously enough, she also placed second in the 2006 contest
The grades: Originality 7, Finish 9, Accuracy 8, feel 7. Rounding off to 7.75 and while this is the same as first place, Knightly had higher accuracy and feel scores, so...

Third Place!
Swissy with "that popular bunny outfit"
The grades: Originality 8, Finish 7, Accuracy 6, feel 7. Rounding off to 7


Congratulations and I will be contacting you via PM ... Soon™

That's just it:

Would anyone like an IC costume ball?

Not making any plans just yet, but...

I am saving that special for expression for my other GG picture

Why do I feel that involves little more then a towel?

Next series will be in line with my Unlimited line... Instead of your in game looks i will go with the idea of "What if i decided to draw those heroes?". So they will be very different from your in game looks and costume choices will depend only my imagination and the feeling you passed on me.

I agree with Neko, that does sound fun!

[ QUOTE ]
Ooh that sounds like fun, do me!

[/ QUOTE ]
I thought you were more of the female persuasion...

And that's the deadline passed.
I'll take some time to grade them as I said to determine who gets which prize.

And everyone else, feel free to comment!

Nice one soulasylum thanks you for your entry.

The deadline closes tonight at midnight (UK time), after which I'll take the time to evaluate the entries on the specified points.
I should be able to do so before Sunday at the latest, at which point I'll announce the winners and contact them about the prizes.

I'm curious what Grav would look like...

Since you've clearly decided on a server, may I suggest you move the discussion?

[/ QUOTE ]
Sorry, but suggestions should go in the suggestion section of these boards.

I hope you still have the old one... because, tbh, this one looks... lackluster in comparison, like it's missing something... probably that I (we?) have gotten used to the previous headgear?

Also, I'm sorry to say that although this does look more like hair, it doesn't 'angle' right to be the helmet's ridge. The 3D perspective looks off, it's glued to the edge of the helmet instead of rising up from the middle.

I'm curious why you didn't make a seperate thread for this VG

LOL! Oh my God, why English has two words for describing third person??? His, Curse is a male, i will correct that asap.

[/ QUOTE ]
Try German, they have 3

I agree on the female face and detail... but then, detail in general is a delicate balance.

[ QUOTE ]
Curse... Yeah he is totally messed up. Not only on the points you said also his face and whole aura is too Werewolvish even i don't want him to be a werewolf.

[/ QUOTE ]
I think it's rather hard to make a hairy half-beast with a somewhat wolvish head and not have it look like a werewolf...

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks for longly critics, i really appriciate your effort and time. Thanks kindly.

[/ QUOTE ]
You're welcome

Midnight Curse and His Mother

Gender shifter!?

Now about the picture.
It's not bad, but it's not good either.

His mother's face is again a little small, probably due to it being tilted forward? That's the impression I got, but can't really say why. Also, there's a nose tip, but not even a hint of the ridge, a subtle pencil line might fix this... though I suppose it could ruin the face as well.

The whip as you said is... a dead piece of black. Can you add some white or grey lines to give it structure? Like on the grip, but then more subtle line?

Curse's chest, yes... too much black. Do I detect 2 different sizes in pens used for the inking?
his head looks a bit disjointed, too far to the left (his right) for the angle his head is in. His head is in the centre of his shoulders, but because it's turned, this places his neck... somewhat awkwardly.


I like the creative costume design of her one thigh boot, a short boot and the skirt over that leg. really nice

''Back detail''

[/ QUOTE ]
That tab only opens when there's something in it.
You'd need a few month vetran status and get the wings (15months) or shoulder capes (I forgot);
Craft wings;
unlock capes after lvl20;
buy the Mac item pack (is it here yet?) to get the valkyrie cape.

Good vs Evil didn't come with back detail items, though.

Aaah, now seeing it from home I better see it.
Indeed a woman, the hip is unmistakable!

About the helmet, I'm not too familiar with Cimmemora... though I was meaning what is likely meant as hair, but looks... too shiny... too solid, like it's metal or something... the spiky bits.
No idea how to to make it more hair like (well, maybe textures?) or if it was the idea as is...

Very interesting costume choices!
very well drawn too! (in fact the only thing I notice off is his left trouser legs would probably drag over the ground, extrapolating where his heel would reach)

A quick reminder to those joining in: there are 5 days left before the deadline
I'm looking forward to seeing what comes from this

indeed, welcome back!

Now, about Kem...
He's certainle impressive.
Rather dark too. This makes for few details to be visible.
But the inside of the cape/coat is rather nicely done with the purple sparklings flowing from under it.
Keep it up!
(what is that on his head, btw?)

[ QUOTE ]
I can't say any critic though, I'm not an artist

[/ QUOTE ]
Artist or not, you make some rather nice art
here's one of my better ones. I can't draw, but I can point out things I notice.

ooh, very nice!
good positioning and proportions of the body
great line work and level of detail (and lack there off)

Two point, though.
The breasts look a bit odd, can't say why that is, though.
The head looks... a bit small or short compared to the body.
Looking at it again, I'm not quite sure, but those were my first notices

[ QUOTE ]
Oh boy... i am really bad when it comes to civilian clothing.

[/ QUOTE ]
Be that as it may, or may not... I still think that drawing rocks and shows great skill, and knowledge of anatomy.

[ QUOTE ]
Still need to put more shades here and there but... i lost my will to complete it.

[/ QUOTE ]
Maybe one day you'll look back on it and find your hands itching to correct the errors you no doubt see, and add in shading. Until then, do things you do have the will to do

Somewhere in Paragon, a Mystic Candlelight burns.

I'm curious, how many of you have planned mission arcs?
How many of those are to be used for RP, and how many are just for story telling (whether to RP or not)

[ QUOTE ]
Okay, great, proposed time:

7-10PM GMT Thursday!

Any objections?

[/ QUOTE ]
that'd be 8-11 mainlands time.
Might ocassionally leave a bit early (though doubt it), but that's fine with me.

Hmmm... sounds interesting!

If it's on tuesday OR thursday, I'd be interested in it.
Oh, what concept to use... *ponders*

I've found that common salvage of the first range (1-25) is rather expensive. The common salvage of the last range (45-50) is rather cheap.. or at least, I can't sell it for the 300 I put common salvage at.
