    That ... I can easily contribute to ...
    and a different kind of theme could be something like ... anyone that has a "self heal" ... for example. You know ... something common but that isn't a set or something.

    Very cool piece Genie! Some very nice "movement" to the flames around her. Well done.

    On the fire subject ... it did take a while to get the flames down when I had to make some for my BBB piece but I think it turned out ok in the end. I was actually pretty proud of that part of the piece.

  3. Well Thornster is a Mutant and there is nothing more "him" that the costume options in this set ... Oh I'm not saying you can't make a good demon out of it ... but you can definately make some mutant-ish hero/villain out of them. I am just holding back not to redesign the whole character ... hehe. I will keep one costume close to the original for sure ... but I have always had trouble finding the right gloves and boots for him ... so ... this may be what I have been waiting for (Artists are going to KILL me!)

    Yeah I saw those .. by fancy, you mean $$$ right?
  5. And you did a very efficient job at it too

    Now that I look at your minimalist and check mine ... I rembmer that I should look into my Arc poster and maybe set up the posters I have been wanting to do for my other 2 arcs ...

    Your sig is quite kool Thornster! ! Very unique!
    yeah well that was just to show that I got my pen working in the Corel "Photoshop"ish software... the point is that that was done in 1 min where as it would have taken an hour to do that without a pressure sensitive pen.

    Thanks for the note on the sig. As I mentionned in another thread I tried a new sig inspired by our "minimalist" thread we had not too long ago.
  7. downloading the Wacom driver ftw



    now to learn how to draw! *blush*

    That is why Thornster is getting new boots and gloves!
  9. Well, inspired by our recent "minimalist" thread, I tried making myself a new sig ...
  10. Yeah but the light is from above so with UM the bottom is in the shadows ... but yeah it isn't that hard to see if you picked a bright color for the glowie parts (the 4th column from the right in the color pallet, if I remember correctly ) so if you are having more trouble than that, there might be a problem with your video card or settings.
  11. Yes, yes, that is the character I was on when I said hi and you were switching to Lady Liberty in the University.
    I don't know if I am the only one but I really love seeing "in game" a character that I know from the boards. That was one of the very cool thing about the Envisionnairies is that I got to see alot of the board characters play out ... very cool.

    So anyway ... yeah ... Thanks Gad, glad you like it. Took me a while to get the eyes and the hair going the way I wanted it.
  12. Yeah the "in a dark area" is what got me at first ... when I found a dark corner it was all good for me (but I had picked a bad color at the time ... at least now I know for when it goes live)

    Hi gang!

    That was the one I was refering to ... yeah it was a fun thread.
  14. Thornster

    Hi gang!

    Hi Rowrsie ... nice of you to drop by ... some people around here didn't recongnize you in a recent piece ... guess you needed to say hi for the "next generation"

    I'm happy to hear from you
  15. I finaly got the colors done on a Chibi of Maiden of the Pit that Alex did for me quite a while back. I just couldn't get it started in a direction I liked ... and I finally did after many many attempts.

    Oh now you are killing me ... I will have to look into it a little more ... there may be an option I haven't set or something ... because if it Corel doesn't support and PS did ... then that 300$ I saved may not feel as good ...
  17. Happy birthday Larissa!!!
  18. I just updaded my Corel softwares (actually my first "legal" versions) and bought CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite X5. For some reason I was expecting the photo manip software to support the pressure sesitivity of my tablet, but it doesn't seem to. I was wondering if Photoshop does? or does one have to head more towards a Painter type program for that.
    I'm just thinking about inking at this time and think that I could go much faster if I could ink using a pressure sensitive pen instead of a static sized brush.
  19. Happy birthday LJ! May you enjoy it and abuse it a bit
  20. I like the styling of that piece Pyro ... coming along nicely

    I am assuming that in the 2 pages of responses after this post someone did mention the possibility of a parameter in the options to choose (like the teleport prompt) but I am assuming the development time of that is bigger that just hardcoding the choice.

    For all the hopes I have in human nature I made a small correction to your statement.
  23. I will make it ... I'll bring a lvl 49 SD/SS tank unless we have too many. I also have a scrapper(49), Def (47), brute (47) and troller (45) that I would tottaly not mind bringing.

    The 2nd one actually mentions the train station to KR ... really funny. I had never seen that.

    People that annoy me are the people that start arguing with me when I tell them that I don't like PLing through the game. They start with at "Why not?" and proceed to convincing me I should be doing it ... *shiver*
