I was having a moral dilemma last night on whether or not its okay to cheer for a Nazi resurgence

My main character's bio (written in I1 or I2) was tied to the fight against 5th Col. as her reason for being in Paragon City. It felt very lame to have to append it with "...and Council too, I guess."

Congratulations! Neat piece... very different style than what I usually see done in commissions around here.

Congratulations, winnin'-type folks!

Moving this discussion out of Sorah's thread, I'm interested in people's opinions about posters giving "constructive" criticism to artworks posted here. Especially I'm interested in the opinions of contributing artists but anyone's is welcome.

It is my personal opinion that, by virtue of posting something in a public forum, you are welcoming public opinion whether solicited or not. While standard civility should keep you from saying "That piece looks like a poop", I don't see where commenting on flaws in the piece should be cause for alarm.

On the other hand, some might say that the threat of criticism would keep some people from posting art here. To make the forum as welcoming as possible, you shouldn't criticize the things posted unless someone specifically asks for it.

Any thoughts?

Night Hornet will never be a proper role model for our nation's youth until he learns to share his vodka!

Great picture!

The wall with the stove looks great. Stove & sink and well done and the curtain look good as well. The opposite wall has a few things which look... off. The wall looks especially thick (but maybe it just is), much thicker than your standard interior wall. The perspective on the side of the clock and top of the trash receptacle look slightly off. I'm not sure I can pinpoint exactly how they'd need to be fixed. The lines on the light swith plate seems a tiny bit off as well.

Actually, looking again... I've got it. The doorway either seems especially low or the center island seems especially high since they're both in roughly the plane. The island is correct compared to the stove/sink but is exceptionally large compared to the doorway. I try to picture myself standing to the left of the island, the top of it about waist level to me (as my own kitchen island is), then turning 180 and walking through the door. I'd smack my face into the lintel

The refridgerator is correct compare to the doorway but, since the doorway looks wrong against the island, it makes the fridge look small as well. Again, if I'm at the blender (at about waist level), my chin is over the top of the fridge.

If I block out the left wall with my hand, it looks damn near perfect. If I block out the rest of the room and just look at the left wall, it's close to perfect (aside from the other minor things). Together, that left wall seems "smaller" than the rest of the room.

I am, of course, being exceptionally critical since I don't think you're just asking to hear how great it looks. Too late to do so now but lowering the island may have fixed the balance enough between the left and right sides that it'd all fit better.

Good luck with class. You're obviously talented and we'll look forward to days ahead with more Wassy art (commissioned or otherwise)

Haha! That picture is awesome!

While I agree with everything about AE farms, if you ever DO want to check out some level appropriate, solo-friendly, story driven AE content, swing by the Misison Architect: Stories & Lore forum on these boards. You can either poke around in the front page of threads or do a search for a string like "Lowbie" and get reviews of player created AE arcs.

I highly recommend hitting your regular contacts, seeing all of Paragon City, etc. That's what the core of the game is all about. But the AE doesn't have to just be some weird place where the drones go. There's some nice stuff in there for when you don't want to trek all over Paragon City that afternoon or want to earn some tickets to buy the salvage or enhancements you wanted.

I assume "original character" or "original concept". In other words, you're not giving him 'permission' to render Wonder Woman or something.

Very interesting idea! I'm curious to see how this works out.

In on the final slot!

Or heck, do Tally-Ho off there instead if the mood grabs ya.

I started this thread a week or so ago which you might find useful (especially after the first couple posts).

Thanks for the help. I actually got into a group through the channels last night so instant payoff!

Of course, I also had connection issues and linkdeath'd out right before reaching the AV but...

Very nice!

The price tag taunts me with its unavailability!

I'd like to say I'm taking a long breather from getting art but, in reality, there's a couple artists I actively have my eye on.
