    Rocket Boards?

    I'd like to see hover board behave the same as regular flight. However combat becomes the issue with a whole new set of animations. I think the right solution would be to separate the torso rigs from the stance rigs (sliding, riding, flying, standing) but, that would require such an overhaul it will probably cost far too much time, even if it does clean up the animation files, it'd be adding to it at the same time. From a high level I'd be surprised if this doesn't also answer 1-leg, 3-leg 4-leg rigging issues I read somewhere (I think the Aug 4 transcript from ustream?)...

    I can't think of how else I'd program it to use the current rigs other than limiting hoverboard animations to non-combat use.

    Rocket Boards?

    Ideas for travel mounts (in no particular preference order):

    mythical creatures (Roc, Pegasus, dragon)
    mundane creatures (horse bear whale)
    giant bee or wasp
    dinosaur (raptor, pteradactyl)
    umbrella (Mary Poppins style, yo!)
    cloud (literally, just a cloud.)
    motorcycle
    rocket bike
    jetpack
    snowboard
    ice slide
    skis (water and snow)
    surfboard
    created road (source styles: rainbow brite, iceman, etc.)
    graple swing
    light cycle
    light jet
    Yoda's chair
    animal morphing (bat/eagle/cheetah/etc.)
    morph ball
    tunnelling
    broomstick (with side-saddle option) - in same thought, mop and vacuum cleaner.
    flying disc
    wake-board sized flying objects
    a really big paper airplanes
    personal helecopter harness

    RE: ice slide topic in the thread...

    Aside from Cryptic having it in Champions, Disney/Pixar already did it as well with Frozone in the Incredibles. He had a small disc that helped him slide around on whatever path he created. I would think with Disney's free use precedent (I haven't noticed any "ice slide concept used by permission from Marvel/Universal Studios" in the credits) there isn't any "IP" with ice slide.

    So there's the "nothing" from Marvel, the "disc" from Disney, and ..."some awkward looking board of ice" from Cryptic. Paragon Studios could do something like a snowboard and the purple run/slide stance with a blue snow trail and get something quick. Though I'm sure the art team can do better than my hacky idea.
  4. were you by a Tum-Tum tree?

    did it go snicker snack?

    :P sorry I can't resist a jabberwok reference
  5. spines is kinda tough, but my spines/ scrap Ivory Quill I think branched out a bit from the normal...

    If anything I hope it gets some ideas churning...

    Avatar help?

    what TS said. it took me a very long time before I found something I liked on the intarweb, and even so it was a pure fluke that I found it. commissioning a piece not only guarantees its what you're looking for, but has a special meaning to you.
  7. captured this a few moments ago and it turned out more amazing than I thought it would have. just wanted to share it with you all

    drop ship

    edit - as a warning, it is rather large img size...I'm gonna try to scale it down for regular view, but I'll leave this up so ppl can still see it while I do that
  8. indeed - never thought Bill could be so hawt but...yea.

    holy [censored]!

    I'm so impressed with this. watched this piece develop through his page and now seeing the finished piece I can't wait to see more of his work. nice man, nice...
  10. *gasp* my nips are so small!! (hides them) love it
  11. I have seen some REALLY good ones of these, many of characters owned by ppl that I know got in big trouble for playing the toon. I could do my best to recreate the image from what I remember (it was 3 years ago since they had the looks)

    if you want to guarantee the mods give you a go-ahead or confirm a no, make sure to send Ex or LH a pm with a link to the thread explaining you want to be within the confines of the EULA. of course, if you've already done that then ignore that comment. best of luck and I'd participate if its ok.
  12. I totally envy you now Morgen...

    I just started my arts collection for Summer, and to perform an idea like this is totally awesome. I hope I can pull this off at a comicon or something similar one day

    costume help

    So, after a few family-related days away from the game, I realized I really didn't like my 4th costume. My 5th right now is just stuck as a seasonal look. My first 3 are staples of how Summer looks, his first being the beefcake look that he's had for 3 years (updated occasionally when better pieces were released), his second is his battle armor (yes I know I used all the way black - my monitor is bright enough to get away with it for my tastes), and his third is his pure-fire form.
    I like the look and feel of these three on him (they've been hashed out long enough in some cases and for one was the whole inspiration for the character)

    suggestion guidelines:

    critics welcome of all manners of tact - I'm a big enough boy to handle it.

    I would like something without armor pieces. I'd like to keep the battle armor look unique on him, though suggestions on the head are fine (not married to the helmet esp. if we get armored headbands )

    I'm especially having trouble with the colors. I want to keep something for the new costume with oranges and warm colors, but I've yet to see yellow look good on him...

    the starting point for this is as clean a slate as you can imagine, because there is nothing on the current 4th or 5th costumes I want to preserve in the next look.

    thank you in advance for any screenie suggestions!

    oops..

    time to sit eagerly waiting to admire the finished pieces, distracting me from not seeing my own just yet...
  22. I thought I remember the Nem staff being more...colorful...right now it looks more fitting with a clockwork than a nemesis armored robot.

    Get mine in a month or 2...
