Psygon

Think of the elves!

nice vid, made me smile

I always wondered why you typed up 'OMG i bin palyin tihs chracter 4 aegs i tihnk i no hoew 2 do my job' all the time. Din't realise you were accessing an uber cheat

Anyway, one thing that puzzles me about this cheat. If a Empathy/Rad defender removes all the powers that are green from his/her power tray does that just leave brawl, temps and pool powers to be uber with? Does it actually work for Empath/Rads??

So I was browsing around the web at work on Tuesday and I came across this site where someone had designed some little characters in animal suits... and since my SG is the Iron Monkeys I thought I would put my toon in a monkey suit...

Psy Monkey

And Sapphic Neko in a kitten suit

Kitten

Just for fun...

Wow thanks Psygon, I love it. I can't help but wonder how you produce these.

My guess is Adobe Illustrator

Actually... they are mostly done in PhotoShop Sometimes I use Illustrator but since I only have that at work at the moment I've just been using PhotoShop.

As far as actual production goes... it's mostly just a case of making a very bad sketch on paper (and I mean really bad) and then copying that sketch by making curves and circles in Photoshop and joining them up until they look the way I want...

And, I'm pleased you like the picture

As for further requests... they do take a little while so I can't do hundreds but post a pic and I will see what I can do.

hehe, nice work

Took me a little longer than expected... but here we go:

Priest
(and the original in game look)

Originally I wanted to do more with the arms but I've ended up more or less copying the pose in the picture. I hope you like!

What style are those done in? It seems sort of familar.

[/ QUOTE ]

they are slightly derivative of different styles - kind of chibi style would be the closest I suppose... but since I draw them in PhotoShop and Illustrator they are more South Park looking

Can't honestly remember what I was looking at when I made the first ones as was so long ago, and I've just tried to refine that original style since then by making them more curvy and giving them cuter eyes

p.s. stole my sisters PC and started work on a Priest drawing but keep getting pulled into Christmas games of scrabble and WoW the board game... but should be finished soon :P

From a design perspective, I think those renders are very well done. Great use of colour, the simplicity really gets the cuteness of the characters across well, with no detailed distractions, just clean lines and well curved edges. A very different artistic language, and somehow, it works. Would love it if you could do one for my character, should I give you a screenshot?

Thank you for the comments

I can't make any promises as to how soon I can get a picture done (christmas brings with it a break from my PC, and the next one I make will be for one of my husband's toons) but if you post a screenshot I'll see what I can do. And for anyone else... they do take a little time so I certainly couldn't do hundreds of them but I can certainly try and do a few

For a while now I have been making little avatar pictures for people in my supergroup and a few friends (you can see a few on the Iron Monkeys website - we use them on the roster section of the page...). Anyway, to cut a long story short I was a bit bored one evening and I decided to redo the avatar of me... and since I was fairly pleased with the result I thought I would share it here It's not perfect, but it's a lot closer to what I intended when I sat down all those months ago and started making avatars for the Iron Monkeys...

After I did Psygon I had my arm twisted and made one for Sapphic Neko as well:

Any comments and constructive criticism appreciated

Nicely done CK, big gratz!!

Gratz Max

what's next?? Going to get that Mastermind to 50?? Or more heroes??

I never really liked the knockback in dark I have to say, despite my love of knockback...

If I was making a toon to knockback-juggle the enemy I'd probably go with Forcefield/Nrg. While psychic blast is good, and has two thoroughly satisfying knockback powers (the tornado (which always seems knockdown not knockback) and telekenetic blast) I just love the two single target energy attacks (bolt and blast) and power push.. power push and force bolt should mean you could keep at least 4 mobs on their backs at all times. And the combination of all 4 allows you to position stray mobs quite accuractly assuming you move quick enough to juggle the mob around.

The cones from dark, sonic, and energy I just find a little too disruptive... unless they are used to knock things against walls and into corners... and most times people don't knock them into walls and corners but just all over the place (me included, usually followed by an oops).

yay, thanks guys

I probably say this all the time but this felt like one of my favourite 50s so far. MA/SR FTW!

Now I just need to find the time to get back to my defenders... tho, no way will I play one just with pool powers

Gratz you two, very nicely done

Gratz

Gratz guys

Great fun seeing you both hit 50 Looking forward to the next two already

Gratz on the 50 Cyn

I have a Kinetic/Energy defender and I actually quite like the sets and how they work together. I specialised to the single target blasts and using a combination of the first two blasts (Power Bolt and Power Blast) plus Power Push I was able to move the bad guys around to where they were needed most... it took a while but I eventually got quite good at moving mobs to heal blasters that didn't move in when they needed healing.

The problem with Knockback and Kinetics is when that knockback isn't controlled and mobs just go flying about all over the place. But if you are the one doing the knockback, and you think about where you want to knock mobs to it can be an effictive combination IMO.

Huge gratz on your 50 Spawnus, wish I had been there to see the moment - maybe for the next one! (hopefully)



Enjoy!!

I've been playing a Claws/Regen (after already playing a Claws/Dark Armor thru to 50) and decided not to take Stamina and see how it goes without it.

I'm currently level 28 (just got Instant Healing... nice) and have to say that I'm not noticing too much that I havent got Stamina. I have had to slot some End Redux in a couple of my attacks (Focus and Eviscerate) to balance it a bit, but I'm hopeful that once they are all slotted up with 2 x Acc, 3 x Dam and 1 End Redux I won't even notice that I didn't put Stamina in the build.

OK, next week I will be back! I miss the team!

fun raid!

Thanks to the organisers!

Gratz Clattuc!

Big grats to both of you. I need to get back ingame and get Infecitious to 50!

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes! I think you should come back ingame

Hey all,

Sorry we didn't make it last night - Gonk tried to post during the day but the forums didn't seem to be working properly so couldn't post.

It looks like it might be more of a regular occurance as well that we both can't make it... as Gonk is going to be pretty busy with work over the next couple of months... hopefully next time we can actually post to let you know tho
