*explodes from the awesomeness* HOLY -------------.

Damnit LJ, your stuff is too damn awesome for me to compliment, leaves me speechless every time. And you have no idea how long I've spent trying to come up with something suitable. Don't get me started on how hard its going to be for me to say thanks enough...

You're very welcome, sorry you'll have to wait for the final color, but here are the Flats! Gotta run my son up to college, be back in 3 hrs... see you then. Shouldn't take more than an hour to color, this is why I asked for simple costumes.

I know you said no "metallic" pieces, but if you ever get a change of heart, you can draw my character!
Only one or two pieces I would consider metallic anyway

Edit - I forgot to mention the aura in that picture is a temporary power, not one that I picked myself.

The reason I say no metallic pieces isn't to be mean. It's just they are intricate, not in the way you might think... yes they have a lot of parts, but drawing and coloring those parts is a laborious task...

When I break down what has to be colored, each section has 4 parts: the flat base color, a highlight, a shadow, and a sheen or secondary color. Now multiply that in say the example you give which has 3 metallic areas: the gloves, the shoulders and the head.

The head would be easy, it's a solid shape, the gloves a little harder, but the fingers would be 5 seperate shapes in themselves, then the shoulders become a nightmare altogether, cause a) the shape is not easy to draw, and b) all 4 elements I describe above would have to curve and follow the light source... package in your jacket, pants and shoes, and what starts out as a simple piece becomes multiplied by 14 because of those "metallic" details.

It's not that I couldn't do it, but it wouldn't be a 2-3hour process like the 2 I've already done, it would be a whole day affair. If I add in all the other people who want metallic costumes, I'm looking at the end of time in my opinion, where it never ends, and I get nothing else done.

So I'm very sorry to have to say no, but this is why I say no robots, and why this time out I asked for no metallic pieces. Your costume is cool in my opinion, and normally I would draw it, but it doesn't serve this new style I am trying out at the moment. Perhaps in the future, when I become more adept...

I hope I haven't offended anyone.

Would a sketch be too much to ask then? T-T

I liked the drawing, you don't need to do all the hard stuff.

If not, I understand, I wasn't intending you were mean in my first post. :P

No, in your case I'll make an exception, though sorry this is so sloppy, had to work on my wife's mac, with my old wacom, and none of my good Illustrator brushes... hope it's okay: Molten grace

My new desktop

Oh, and don't mind the folder named ****** videos. It has nothing to do with me.

If anyone gets that joke you get a cookie. :P

I didn't see a ****** folder, but I did see a WoW one, so you should be ashamed of that at least.

And LJ, what is so embarassing about that pic for Molten? It looks great!

[/ QUOTE ]The only reason its still there is so I can give mass ammounts of gold to my friends that still play that. :P Sides if I ever feel like playing the expansion that comes out, I aint doing 9 hour downloads again.

Ah see you should have told me you played VTM the video game... my son and I hacked that sucker to death... well with mods. For that I will color your robot sketch tomorrow...

Gad: I was being factitious, I just know I could do better, but hoped that would have made MG happy for now.
