99 is taken. Please choose another number

I will take my lucky number, 13!

EDIT: Looks like this might be taken on DA, if so I will take 70.

Two separate drawings. You can choose numbers in both and the same number can be chosen in both. It just does't make sense for you to choose the same number in both drawings since you can only win once. Someone could have 10 for instance here and another person could have 10 on DA. All 99 numbers available once in each drawing.

I believe it's yours

I recently purchased a new 3D program which I plan to eventually use for all my rendering. To help me get started using the program, I would like to offer a free commission to two individuals, one from the City of heroes forums and one from DeviatArt who has the free time to waste that they actually read my journal. The commission will be for 1 character (male or female, superhero or otherwise) in a pose of their choice, full body, 3/4, head, whatever.

Here are the rules,

1. To enter simply select a number from 1 to 99 and post it here. You may only enter each drawing once and numbers can only be chosen once in each drawing. That is, no two people can have the same number and no person can have more than one number in a given drawing. You may however enter both the city of heroes and DeviantArt drawing but you will have to go through the tremendous effort and post a number in each drawing. So, for example, you could enter #12 in one drawing and enter #20 in other.

Note-While you can enter both, you can only win once. If that happens, I will take the City of Heroes Forum runner up who has not guessed higher than the winning number.

2. You may not enter for other people. No, my cousin six times removed would like number "x".

3. Number selection will be open till 9/30 or all available numbers are chosen whichever comes first.

4. Once I have gone through and sorted all the valid entries (sorting out those that chose numbers not available, changed their minds, etc), the winning number will be selected as follows:

The winning number will be determined by totalling the numbers from the California Lottery and the person who's number matches the last two digits of the number total will be the winner. For example, if the sum total of the 6 winning numbers is 195, the person who chose 95 will be the winner, if the total was 105, the person who chose 5 would be the winner and so on. The lottery drawing used to determine the winning number will be at my discretion but I will try to make it the next available drawing after I post the valid entries. So assuming, I can post the entires by 10/1, we would use the following Weds drawing. In any case, it will not be a past lottery, but a future lottery.

5. Limitations. While this is a commission of sorts, there are some limitations. First and foremost, I will be limited by my own talents on what I can and can't do so keep that in mind when you make your character decision. I'm always willing to take a bit of license but if doing so takes the image so far away from your character so it's not recognizable, you may want to make another character choice. In short, I make no gaurantee that I can make that awesome looking reflecive armor and flaming sword but I'm willing to give it a shot. Second, nudity is okay and suggestive situations are okay. No full on boom chicka bow wa though. I got no issues with it mind you, but this is something that will go on my DA page so we need to keep it somewhat clean... You know, for the kids. Third, the image may or may not include background. I would prefer to keep an open mind and we can discuss exactly what you are looking for and I will try to create it.

6. Keep in mind, this is a totally self serving act on my part. I need the practice and you will be offering up your characters as subjects. I'll be using a new program which is the point of the whole excersice so I expect a bit of a learning curve. You should be prepared to wait a little bit. In the end, We all win. Except those of course that lost....

Drawing is open to anyone whether I have previously done a work for them or not.

If you are not familiar with my work check out my DA page in my sig.
Well, I think that's it. I don't think I've forgotten anything. So enter. It free, educational and fun for the whole family.

I'd hit it....

Good Luck on the job hunt. Hope you find something quick.

Transfuse is amazing. I've had him on watch for awhile.

I used to use a program called "Ray Dream Designer". I followed Ray Dream through several versions, until suddenly they announced they were changing their name and becomming a new thing called "Carerra". I tried the first version and wasn't impressed, but that was 6 - 7 years ago.

Has Carerra come along over the years? Hearing people use it is kinda like visiting an old high-school - lots of memories.

I prever Vue Infinite for rendering my scenes because of the seamless Poser imports. It's definitely coming into it's own as a renderer. If only they'd add animated particle effects.

[/ QUOTE ]

Though I like/am familiar with the interface of Carrara, I choose it for a few reasons but I think the fact that the new version will be able to import directly from Daz and or use Daz/Poser materials directly (like Poser and Daz) was very important to me. Throw in the fact that in renders a lot better than DazStudio, can do that cool lighting stuff, animate, do some (not dedicated 3-D modeling program caliber but some 3-D modeling), will have dynamic hair, clothing, etc and by buying Carrara 5 for 80 bucks, Carrara 6 is free and well, I'm cheap, I admit it.

Ray Dream is personally responisble for me intially swearing off 3-D and not coming back till Poser when I was promtly scared away again. I'm not ashamed to say Ray Dream open up a can on me. I'm having fun using Carrara 5 though I probably will not give up the "old shoe" till Carrara 6 comes along. It promises to work "seamlessly" with DazStudio.... well see. I tried Vue and liked it. Just don't have the coin for the real version. If the state lottery would co-operate, I would'nt have these problems.

Nice. I think I've settled in on Carrara 6. I have 5 and I really like the interface. I have Bryce, just have never been able to figure it out. I may send you a pm or two on how you import into Bryce.

[ QUOTE ]
Sent.

Aaaand... I'm not done yet. :P Bryce is rendering as we speak.

Although now I have to figure out how to keep Daz from breaking poses. This is gonna need some postwork. Grrr.

[/ QUOTE ]

Are you using Bryce to render your images and still posing the images in Daz?

That guy has a really neat style.

I like that, very nice. Love that pose so I may be using a variation of it at some point. I do wonder though if Gamma Girl has ever been "pensive" Reading those stories, I needed half a pack of smokes to get through them.... and I don't smoke.

I have plenty of art so I would not qualify. I just wanted to say that Virtue seems to have a fairly good role playing community.

Hey Gamma,

I don't know you all that well, but your story hit me. I'm against any form of censorship and I hope you're able to recoup your losses.

Since you're taking all this so well, I thought I'd donate a few hours of time to help you get started on the rebuild. I wish I could have spent more time on this piece because it's not perfect, and it's kinda simple... but it'll have to stand as it is for the time being.

With that, here you go;

GAMMA GIRL - Poster (possibly NSFW)

Excellent! Love the Graffitti in the background. Our luck it had to be a windy they though....

If your stuff is truely gone and not recoverable, I'm more pissed at the ISP than the complainer. Way too heavy handed a reaction to a complaint

Too bad Pam Grier is too old to play the part of Soul Train.... I love that second one.

Serge is on my short list of artist I would like to commission. That's a nice piece. What a surprise. I'll be careful not to blink the wrong way when I send him a note for commission info....

That's a wild piece. Absolutely incredible. Love the story telling.

In general, I've been pretty lucky so far. Only burned on an art trade, not "real" money. Just my time and effort.

OK.

I'm.... totally off my chain right now.

This is an auction commission that NKK did a little while back -- and I asked if she could do my succubus Mind/Fire dominator, La Diablesse.

Dia never looked so yummy...

[/ QUOTE ]

That's a reallly nice piece.

I like the story. I especially like the fact that you don't have a hero and villian on every corner blasting each other. Great for the game, not so much for a story. My only comment and I really don't have any reccomendations on how to fix it but it seems a bit fragmented. I don't know if it's too much extraneous info, not enough info, the grammar or the paragraphs are too small and don't develop, but iit seem a bit choppy to me and did'nt really get into a groove.

I hope she does finish the story because we can't leave a bunch of weak willed males hanging....

When I read Loki, for some reason I though of Heavy Metal. "Give it back, it's my Loknar...."

Getting art is always nice. Those are really good.

Yeah, I've given up on most of that crap. If something lucky drops, yay for me. Otherwise, I just use Wentworths to sell stuff to other suckers. (Rockets not bitter at all)

Excellent idea! I could'nt put my finger on it, I thought it was shadows but maybe that's it. I look forward to seeing the updates!
