Swissy

Any time buddy!

My standards? ^^ Well I guess there's always someone that's better than us in some way..

And yes, daily practice is the key

Amazing_Shnyet , pm me the gold along with your screenies.. that's if you still want me to have a shot at it..

EDIT: How did you get your screenshots *linked* at thier actual size's 'cos photobucket shrunk mine.

[/ QUOTE ]
In photobucket:
Top right->account options->under Album options->display URL->select yes.
If you have the above selected, when you're viewing you folder, under each picture you uploaded, there is the direct link -URL- of that picture.^^

Make sure you also select the max size allowed for your picture to be, size wise, uploaded at. I have it on 1Mb.

Also, all the picture I upload are either at 72 or 100 resolution.

With all this Photobucket should not resize your uploaded pictures...

Btw, nice work so far Pious, mate! Keep it up!

Will this do? If these aren't good enough i'll make some new ones!
Ooo i'm so excited .

EDIT: He's a spines/invul scrapper btw...

Aiight.

Thank you for the screenshots.

May I ask you to post screenshots of Arcane standing up please?

I made a preliminary sketch to get the feel of the character.

Hopefully, we can get some holding time at work so I can start on something decent...

Super_Heroine wins teh intarhweb!!11

Seriously though, it's not a bad or beginner's AT. It's a style of gameplay. Accept that or just be another moaner, and noone likes a moaner.

Heh, ok ok! I was just being curious. I know the site's artists are posting and present on the US boards, so I'm sure if there was an infrigment, it would have been delt with accordingly by now.
I was looking for a answer and I got it
Thanks for that peeps.

Post your screenies, Kingwill or send them to me via e-mail.
I got a few already to finish and I spend most free time playing CoX so you'll have to bear with me mate :P

QiSnake, I understand what you're saying. Very valid points indeed.
I just don't see the constant need to moan about something that has already been discussed to death.
I also believe that, when constantly hitting that brick wall, one needs to come up with a solution to get round the problem.

I'm no hardcore gamer.. I just have no life..

My avie? ^^ I use it's cuteness to cover my annoying and naggin' posts :P

It does make sense. Confirmation anyone?

Why do people hate stalkers:

[/ QUOTE ]
Thank you Max for being opened minded. You sir, get a big chocolate chip cookie.

I can't believe this "stalker AS'ed me!!11 I maek poast!!!" topic is still around.

I play a stalker as well as a scrapper as well as a WS and PB, in pvp. The concept of rock, paper , scissors applies here.
We were 3 stalkers trying to get a group of controllers the other day. We failed miserably even after trying many times. You win some, you lose some. If you keep losing, stop, think, find solution. Rince and repeat.

You really hate stalkers? Go make yourself a anti-stalker toon and stop moaning.

3D Max is king!

Seconded.

Also much more rewarding.. Trying to create a full high poly model from splines is tough but lotsa fun.

Thanks all for looking!^^

The stories are great. Just need more art to counter-number them that's all

I'm not certain that the applicable laws are especially clear in the circumstances...

[/ QUOTE ]
Nah, laws about copyrighted material - concept art/official prints/etc - are very specific.

I checked the NCSoft User Agreement.

A simple rule of thumb is if the Member is receiving anything of value in exchange for a work created by the Member based upon, or related to any of the NCsoft line of games, it is likely to such use is an impressible commercial use of the exclusive rights held by NC Interactive (and its related Game Content Providers).

[/ QUOTE ]
I guess it comes down to circumstances.
Are the MMOart artists "members" of NCsoft and CoX?
Did they recieve express written consent from NC Interactive?

I don't know.

Shameless plug...
Post screenshots of side/front/back views of your toon.

Would be nice to help

I'm still not sure about MMOart. I mean they excel in what they do.
These artists draw characters who's IP belongs to Criptic. Do they pay Criptic a percentage everytime they produce art and sell it?
Couldn't find that info anywhere on the site.

Would love to be enlightened on this...

Well I don't know exactly how far into it you've gotten, but the most efficent way to create a BG in Max would be to model anything that's in the foreground and middleground and then add a plane with a map on it for the background...

I want to see the screenie though

73x75 pixels?

A little small, no? But from what I can see, it looks nice.

Have you got a simple plane/map as a background? or did you model stuff as a BG?
A screenshot would help to see.

EDIT: ok bigger now :P

Not bad at all. You got the base colours in.. Now you need shadows..

Oh Noes!. Assassins...
If they are as deadly as your eloquence, Raven, i'm done for..


It's a good point you brought up, Super_Heroine. CoX only allows you to create steroetypical toons. It goes along with the concept of the game. I have to say though that creating a more than "pleasantly plump" toon like the Blob™ with an in game flesh-physics engine could be quick cool.

Thanks all for the comments and for looking.

Everytime someone uses lens flare, a kitten ends up Banzai'd.

Woot! constructive C&C!! \o/

-You're right on the Galdagirl pic. My first error was not to finish the whole pic when sketched out. But I'll use the excuse of it still being a WIP so I'll add the feet in along with the electricity effect - Elec blaster I've been told..

-Gah! the hair.. >_<' Comment noted on the hair.

-Meteor Noir... I can see the stiffness. Maybe I went to far into the whole "Misstress MasterMind" idea..
I'll go back and try to find the original ingame shots. That might clear up the "poor back" issue =P

Generally, the women in CoH all have huge racks, even the smallest setting has nothing to be ashamed for, and anything above medium reminds me of balloons taped into chest.

*nods*

Nice effects and texture work.

Thanks all for your comments.

Indeed Meteor Noir has a healthy chest. But it is based on screenshots taken from players on the character selection screen and Meteor Noir had just that!

Oh, and in case you are wondering:
"I like big bewbs and I cannot lie, all you other brothers can't deny.."

I do requests but I have to warn you that I can be slow, considering work/playtime/pictures already in my "to be finished" folder.. But if you have any toon you would like sketched, just send me a mail with 4 screenshots attached. Front/back/sides.
I'll try my best to reply as soon as possible!

Thanks for looking...

Been sketching toons at work lately since we have lots of Holding Time.

Most of them are ball pen/lined paper.
The first coloured pic is done via Photoshop.

Any feedback and/or comments is always appreciated!

It's working again!! \o/

Aiight, good drawing but contains many flaws..

Firstly, you must have gotten the wrong pic uploaded!
Minako_LowRes.jpg was at 600dpi... that's high rez! =D

On to the pic:
Proportion, perspective and lineart.

I would suggest using the ol' Skeleton technic to first visualize where you're going. And then apply/try to reproduce it on your toon picture.

I allowed myself to do a quick draw over.

Jericho was right when he mentionned the shoulders. They are too high and very stiff.
The head is also skewed. When drawing a head, I first establish the symetricality then add the back/cranium to establish the depth. Here, it's alright since it's a front shot. The head should be straight and symetrical.

Much to work on but you're not too far off!
Just need practice..

Hope this helps.
