That's really cool! How did you get the flame look?

Totally cute! You can't lose with chibi.

Were you listening to a certain popular song by any chance?

I'm really torn by this thread. I want to support art expression and I do appreciate good NSFW pictures but I understand why it's not allowed on the forums. This is a family game and my niece has been playing since she was 13 along with many of her friends from school. I've never encouraged her to look at the forums mostly because of the negativity that pop's up (nerf regen, no u) but also because there is some things that people take a little too far, like MRP.

It's hard to balance what some adults consider casual fun and what might be seen as offensive. I know there was one thread I saw with directions to go to some guys website where there was a vulgar picture with a phallus that was basically pornographic. My first thought was "it's a good thing my niece doesn't look at the forums."

I think we kinda forget that it's our responsibility, as adults, to be sensitive to what little eyes might be seeing on a forum that considers itself safe for youngsters.

Cool, I wanted to be safe than sorry.

Unwilling Accomplice paintover

I did a quick paintover to set up some perspective guidelines. Lines in same color show parallel lines converging to a common vanishing point. I was a little puzzled myself because with the exception of the far edge, your table edges were actually pretty accurate. I decided to try straightening the sale sign because the other vertical lines are not converging to a third vanishing point, and I think that's what made the real difference here.

You can make edges of the little stuff on the table to converge to the same points if you want, but it may seem too technical at that point.

Hope this helps.

WOW! Thanks! That does help some. I have a hard time with perspective. I can draw the little lines but I never pick the right angle so it always comes out weird. And with the edge of the table, I think I pretty much drew it, erased it, drew it again, erased that, and so on so that's probably why it's a little off. Again with the angle, it wasn't quite what I wanted. I actually wanted to show LESS of the top of the table because it was less important. It was also difficult to setup a merchant character without changing the whole scene.

But again, thanks! It was more of the kind of feedback I really need right now.

I agree with what scarf said on DA, as far as the scene goes, it looks as if he's lifting something and trying to give it to the robot, but text would definitely help the viewer out here. 10 people can look at a piece and interpret it 10 different ways

I understand that and thanks for the feedback. I'm still having a hard time with surface level look. Figure I can iron out the way I portray meaning later. But thanks for responding.

Is the guy in the shades supposed to be stealing from the flea market table? I ask because the gizmos on the table all seem to be facing away from him, as if he's behind the table rather than in front of it.

I donno is he?

Londer and I are at the Con right now, recharging our laptop in the back of a meeting room while waiting for Terry Moore to speak. We've been here since Wednesday (well we did sleep, but other than that we've been here). We've mostly been haunting Artist Alley and talking to independent and small press folks. We'll even have some commissioned artwork of our CoX characters to share with everyone later.

The Con is a ton of fun, but wow it is massive. I'm sure we'll be running into some of you when we swing by the NCSoft booth later. I'll be the one rolling around in a wheelchair with a FREEM shirt today. And if we don't meet any of you today, we'll catch you tomorrow night!

I got permission to ram people. It's amazing how fast they get out of the way now.

Anachro wouldn't let me pop a wheelie though.

[ QUOTE ]
interesting idea, if you have the idea set keep going. I'm interested as well to follow this and see what you come up with.

[/ QUOTE ]

The idea has been set for a while... since i2 really.

I really do think the writing is going to carry it. Which is good because my art needs a lot of work.

I'm going to TRY to do a graphic novel with Anachrodragon writing it. Basically we took our characters from CoH and removed the looks and powers they had, to concentrated it down to just a cyborg and his robot travelling friend.

This is just a sample, testing the waters. I'm not happy with this but Anachro really likes it so I thought I'd see what you guys think.

Hey gang,

I have been reading along today and just want to report it is fully in the community hands on this event to organize a get together.

We had to make a few choices this year, and PAX while getting some of the same goodies as Comic Con will not be getting an official party or get together.

So... all that said, where do WE want to party?

If anyone can suggest a place that's close to the convention center that would be awesome. Preferably a place that has ample room. Last year's was rather cramped.

[/ QUOTE ]

and a bit stuffy. just, please, no pocket D irl.

[ QUOTE ]
What Ex had talked about was something more informal and possibly along the lines of a Pocket D dance outside the PAX location.

wait

I just booked my flight and I will be attending Comic-Con on Friday.

[/ QUOTE ]

I just got the credit card bill for flight and tickets. Good thing they don't charge for car rentals till you get there or I think I'd have a little heart attack. :S

What exactly is a meet and greet level?

The past 2 years at PAX seemed to have enough people for a meet and greet. There were certainly a lot of people I didn't know. Is there criteria for levels of meeting and greeting?

Here is a question that maybe I missed. If I only go to the con on sunday, I am active military and cannot go any other days, will I still get the in game badge even tho the "special event" is saturday night?

[/ QUOTE ]

Whike Zek's answer is most likely correct, it wouldn't hurt to PM Ex with your situation, it MIGHT help (doubtful, but possible). Although, Ex is likely already snowed under and digging out slowly from the storm of PMs on that very subject.

[/ QUOTE ]

The CoX staff has been very good about these kinds of things and if it's in their power, I can see them being cool about this. The only thing I can see is if the event is so popular that they're all gone.

Does Cuppa make it to Comic Con?

Your link is having issues. "Problem loading page. Server not found."

EDIT: See now that's what I'm talkin'bout!

There are artists and then there are Artists. Graver's art makes my legs wobbly and my eyes watery with joy. I always love seeing what he's done.

This was inked with my new wacom tablet. It's cute.

Payback in the Sun.

Not bad! I really like the fact that you colored it. I'm usually too lazy to color my stuff and I really think the work suffers without that little extra touch. Keep at it!

Hey, TA, you going to the San Diego Comic Con this year? I just bought my tickets, both plane and convention. You know they have an artists alley?!

I also need to do a proper TA drawing now that I've flexed my learning muscles a little.

So many more people discussing pax over comic con! Well, we're going to both. Haven't been to the Con since '00. What's new? Is there a CoX meet/greet?

I think this is an amazingly generous compromise by NCSoft. Get some free, pay for the rest. Right on guys!

Just finished with ink and color: Completed Gang of Spades.

Gang of Spades

This is my nieces Christmas present. We helped her start her VG, Gang of Spades. The picture is (from right to left):
Stack of Cards (ME), Payback in Spades (anachro), and Face of Spades (my niece).

EDIT: Just finished color below.

Thanks for all the screenshots people! Everyone on this thread were unique and creative with the new costume sets. I now have some rad ideas of what I'm going to do with them.
