    City of Kittenz.

    excellent stuff as always!
  3. Phew! Its been a while since I updated - I've been heavily occupied by RL stuff which has kept me away from the game for a bit so haven't even been playing recently

    Finally got some time to do some CG stuff again and some playing around in Photoshop over the last few evenings (as well as a CG mini-project that might see light of day by the end of the month fingers-crossed) anyway, was quite pleased with how some things have turned out so might be posting some more CG art in another thread as the opportunity arises.

    All in all, its good to be back, and like everyone else I'm really looking forward to what I12 has to bring and beyond

    Oh yeah - the comic hasn't been forgotten about, honest!
    Couple more pages for now...


    Page 22............


    and

  4. Been busy with work stuff as you know mate, got to pay the bills y'know but there is more coming don't worry about that.
    As for the download dunno what's up with that - I'll try and sort another host

  7. And here's


    ......................Page 20


    More next week!

    If I get time today I'll post an updated link to PDF compilation of the story so far.
    For now though, its back to work
  8. Whew! Its been a while since I've done anything on the comic - Christmas was full of distractions (mostly fun ones ) and then I went away for a couple weeks right at the start of the new year

    But now I'm back!

    As usual I'm dividing my time between several projects, (one of them being a Star Trek one over on SciFi Meshes.com ) but I'll try and keep adding something at least once a week on here.

    Who knows - I might even get to play the game once in a while too

    Anyway, the next page after the xmas break...


    ......................Page 19


    ...more later

    on a personal note, i'm a big fan of the comics here that others are producing using the game engine. the creativity needed to get around the engine's limitations is always impressive,

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Definitely agree there - seen some good things posted right here on Creative board. In the dim and distant past I was inspired to try out some screenshot comic work myself ...and failed miserably

    As you rightly say the best examples of screenshot comics here have shown great skill and ingenuity with the game-engine and probably some clever demo editing skills too ...things I am sadly lacking

    Looking forward to that next page - cheers!
  10. Nice pic - and very nice colouring job too, works very well.

    well i give a monkey so you'd better keep updating

    [/ QUOTE ]

    /Seconded!

    Always been a fan of your distinctive style - its moody and atmospheric and hence lends itself really, really well to story telling so I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been itching to see a comic from you

    There aren't many comics around here, and most utilise the game engine.

    Some fine work has been produced that way, but on a personal level I find not having the limitations of CoX's graphics gives the freedom to let the creative imagination really go to town

    Anyway, I'm painfully aware of how time consuming it can be to put these things together - but rest assured, we're here waiting to see where your story takes us!

    Vox's Pictures

    I took some liberties with the Rikti as I'm not 100 percent sure on what they look like up close, they usually don't live very long when Shockspike fights them.

    Shockspike vs Rikti



    [/ QUOTE ]

    Nice image of some action there Vox, its not always easy to make pics look dynamic but personally I think it works well - good work!

    I wouldn't worry too much about artistic license - we all know what Rikti look like in-game, imho I think its interesting to see them (and any other character for that matter) a little more embellished or stylised just to see where the artist decides to take the concept.

    Keep 'em coming.

    I love how you have made it look soft! I've often found drawing with pencil looks a bit harsh but you've managed to make the atmosphere really soft

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I agree, I'm betting you used a 2B or maybe even 3B pencil and to great effect

    Whatever the technique, its nicely atmospheric - be sure to let us see some more of your stuff please.
  14. [ QUOTE ]
    Excellent. I'm loving your style - in a disturbed kind of way. Keep it coming



    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yup - that about somes up my thoughts too

    Very scary, very talented stuff please do try to keep more coming.

    The White Might

    Very nicely done White Reflex
    Just been looking at your previous post too - I like the clean line style you use, but especially in your later pic aswell as the colour shading, kinda reminds me of anime.

    Keep it up mate, would love to see more
  16. Been away from the forums for a bit so have only just seen this - and wow!
    Really nice, like your work a lot

    Hope to see a bit more of your work around these Anglo parts Sphinge

    While I'm at it, I'll requote myself, too:

    So, artists, please visit this directory, pick a character you like, and draw it Ofcourse you should feel free to ask for more shots and/or details of any one character

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Perhaps I should be less lazy and pick a specific character?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well, here's a go I had at Hellwolve since I hadn't seen anyone else's try here.

    Hellwolve!

    There are a couple things that aren't really right, the shoulder 'horns' which I made too straight and then forgot to tidy up in Photoshop

    ...And I took some 'artistic license' with the feet keeping them wolf-like instead of the cloven hoofs, only to later realise (from reading the Bio) that being a devil-spawn, they really are supposed to be hoofs!

    It was a bit late in the drawing to change it without spoiling it - so thats another one I'll have to re-visit and do properly some time
  18. Probably the last pages before Christmas - I know they're late, and yes I know its slow going

    ...But I will finish this story!
    Just a matter of getting the graphics done - slowly but surely Lol!

    And although it would be nicer to get the full story in one go rather than piece-meal like this, I just though it would be sorta fun to see it building bit by bit (although I must admit I didn't intend for the bits to be so small )

    Once this issue concludes there will definitely be a pdf and/or a zip of everything together

    .........................Page 17



    .........................Page 18



    So until next time, Merry Christmas one and all!

    If anyone dares to tackle 2 characters at once... have a shot at these!
    Roselin and Rosalin 1

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well, that'll teach me to stick my nose in Lol!

    Thought I'd have a stab at a request, but as usual bitten off more than I can chew, what with trying to find time to keep my comic rolling and do all the RL stuff that xmas brings.

    Anyway *fumbles to come up with excuses* ...with several projects on my mind at once, I kept getting confused with who was who so thought I better stick to just the one character for the moment

    so here's my take on Rosalin ...I think


    [ QUOTE ]
    Oh, and to put in an other request at the same time...
    Roselin is pregnant, *snip*

    [/ QUOTE ]

    ...Im still up for giving that one a go some day, for no other reason than the idea amuses me
  20. Thanks Arctic_Princess its comments like that spurr me on to keep this going

    Après le Swissy avec bonté lié le masterpiece chef d'oeuvre visuel par Aral et CoffeeTdB, pour nous dans le section Creative UK, J'ai décidé de faire une visite ici pour le curiousity

    Tant de choses de cool!

    Quoi qu'il en soit, j'ai voulu dire que votre art est magnifique !

    J'aime vraiment le modèle graphique, très, très dramatique et la composition est superbe !!

    J'espère voir plus!

    *Nods* Very impressive. You definitely know your way around Photoshop

    On a side-note I fancy a go at one or two of these requests in between working on the comic, if I can fit it in
  24. Nicely done - (and glad I can see it larger res now )
    ...nice selection of outfits too
