Those are REALLY cool! Do you mind if I use some of this? It's given me some ideas that I hadn't thought of before.

Anachro and I are working on a comic but I'm still behind on the developing stage for characters. One of the characters is driving me nuts as far as look and feel.

Bot is basically a battle bot rescued from fighting and now wishes to be a pacifist. Of course he gets forced into combat at times. I'm trying to do a balancing act between not being cliche and still looking like a big ol robot. I want his face to be expressionless but his body to be flexible for body language as a way of expression. I also wanted him to look middle eastern, egyption, roman, or indian.

Early concept sketches:

Last night I made some concept scetches:

Any suggestions on how I can make a pacifist middle eastern retro unique big ol robot that can still look like a bad [censored]?

Holy ZOMBIES batman!

I agree with Blood Wolffe, looks pretty good so far. I did notice that her left arm is a bit longer than her right.

This. Great work!

I'd still call it NSFW. At least where I work...

People tend to frown on that much cleavage

Very cool piece.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think this is a good call. I'd probably get in some kind of trouble for looking at cleavage at the break time computer.

For those who felt it was great, or spent lots of time talking to the NCSoft folks because you knew them...

Until PAX, I had never met BABs or Hero1 in my entire life. I met Ex before but she was so busy I barely got to speak with her. Then the majority of my time at the booth was spent gaming with my friends while BABs and Hero1 spoke with anyone who walked by.

Nice work! You have all the details where it counts. Sometimes, simplicity is best. The only thing I'd say, and this is just a preference, is I wish I could see more of his face. Otherwise, great work!

Or just really, really happy.

Had a blast! Had Noir, Quill, Anachro, and Hyperion team up and run a Cap SF on the big screen. We completed in 28.5 minutes, our personal best. Then we ran some lvl 50 missions and had fun wiping and recovering right as the floor was closing. Thanks guys, can't wait till next year!

(PAX is just too much. Its always packed solid and the ventilation system just cant hack it. GenCon while really busy has a better layout, better ventilation, and better overall participation.)

You mean at the Seattle Convention Center? Cuz this is only the second year it's been in Seattle.

The Soundview Café (located at the back of the market, back from where they throw the fish and above Golden Age Comics) is an awesome place to get breakfast. Although I think it's a little less crowded if you get there around 8am or so. The food is great and the view... is of the Sound! It's really a stunning view.

That's awesome work! Looks like it took some time.

[ QUOTE ]


I recommend you plan to show up a bit earlier than 2:00.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's when it was in Bellevue and yes that was horrible. It's a bit more organized at the convention center. I don't recall waiting that long to get in last year and I was there everyday.

[ QUOTE ]

Speaking of days, does PAX begin on Thursday night or Friday morning?

Perhaps more importantly, which day is the first day that the booth will be staffed?

Figure as I work next door, I may pop by at lunch time on Friday if you guys aren't there on Thursday night.

It was kinda hidden on the PAX website (or maybe I'm blind) but I found it eventually:

Sweeeet! I love breweries!

Nice! That's a cool picture! Although I don't get attached to any of my characters till they're at least 30.

I've never been to a game related convention, but I live near seattle. Is the PAX worthwhile?

[/ QUOTE ]

If you're a serious gamer (meaning you'd happily spend 12 hours playing games with/against 1000 other gamers in the same room) and you're not claustrophobic (meaning that you don't mind sharing space with 10,000 other gamers for 16 hours) then, yeah, it's worth it, from what I hear.


[/ QUOTE ]

I want to clarify that PAX is really for anyone interested in gaming (hand helds, consoles, board games, card games, RP games), not just hardcore computer gamers. One of the coolest things at PAX is the combination of beanbag chairs and WiFi. I always see huge groups of people sitting around plinkin away on their DS games. I'll also see groups of people on beanbag chairs in certain corners with pen and paper. Then I think, woohoo, now that's old skool! I mean the PAX poster almost always has gaming dice on it!

Now that is probably one of the only game related situation where I would say you used the term 'toon' correctly.

Looks awesome btw! Are you thinking of ink and color?

There is mature content in the gallery. Unless there was an update, there wasn't any 'offensive' material when I clicked the homepage.

Unless you count pornographic pictures of women playing with themselves... It's on his main page, first click.

Let me know if Londer and I can do anything to help.

MURH?!?

Are you talking to me?

Are you talkin' to me?!?

Don't make me stop this car!!!

All your thread... are belong to us!





[/ QUOTE ]

Not at all! It was more directed at where the thread had gone, than any individual. You seem to be among the more reasonable and you have a sense of humor so, no. Not directed at you personally.

Plus it looks like Ex cleaned up the mess so it's all moot point anyway.

People feel so entitled and get so defensive. Geeeze. So excuse me if I DERAIL YOUR ENTITLED DOMINATION OVER THIS THREAD.

I spoke with Tycho and Gabe at the Comic Con and they were as impressed as we were at the growth of PAX. I mean going from 12k to 37k a year later is really impressive. I asked if they thought it would increase even more this year and they said it was hard to believe it to be possible. I mean that's close to 10% of the entire population of Seattle.

I think it's going to be awesome though and want to see more posts about people going and what they will be doing? As long as that doesn't offend anyone who thinks they own this thread now.

IGNORING THE SILLY DRAMA OF THE THREAD...

I will be at whatever Meet and Greet there is unless something happens and Seattle like... blows up or something.

Sorry Bug, I think the silly drama ignored you! I guess being able to turn into a PPD hardsuit permanently is enough to forget what this thread is really about; PAX and hanging out with fellow CoX'rs.
