Do you have a very high resolution version of this, Douglas? I'd love to turn it into a Loading screen for the game.

... not being all that gung-ho about the iconic characters and even wondering if that was GW because of the different costume...

Actually, the version you see wasn't the original. This is what my first pass looked like, with the more classic costumes;

MIDNIGHT HOUR - Early rough version (classic Ghost Widow)

Wow, that one I *really* like. Might be the simplicity of it or something, I don't know.

I hope I didn't give the impression that I didn't like the final version. I was just commenting on BaB's skin tone seeming to be a bit lighter than the in-game model.

Now that the latest Fanzine is out, I can finally show some closeups of the piece. It's all Poser and post-work.

I like it, but the post is a bit off. BABs should be looking a bit more be to the left, like slightly towards his left shoulder...and maybe a bit upwards.

Then I think it'd be perfect.

Maybe he could do something for your "private collection" BAB.

Ghost and Babs never looked better my friend and great realism in this one. The characters really pop. Love it!

...I thought BaBs looked a little too light-skinned as well to the point that, at first, I didn't realize it was him. He looks great, though, and I love the sneer.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, at this point I'm writing it off to differing monitor gammas - on my system, he looks good. I used a stock texture and face morph to create his appearance, so any insinuation that I consciously lightened his skin is just silly.

[/ QUOTE ]

To be fair, I wasn't so much as insinuating as asking. *chuckles* If it's a matter of differing gamma, I reckon that's cool, too. It still looks incredible.


Where do we go from here?

It sure looks like she does, or she's wearing a very tiny thong. Either way, BaB would be getting a clear money shot from his perspective, and thus distracted from the problem they are facing.

Nah, not BaB, he's got discipline...

Edit: Oh, and it is awesome DJ

Just a quick question...why is BaB wearing a cape?

And why does he look different in almost every incarnation?

The added armor and cape was a request from NCSoft to show some of the Roman-themed options in Issue 12.

ooo that's a nice duo. GW looks like she's younger than in other works but other than that this looks great.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, she looks like she's 10 or something. Throws me off what is otherwise a cool pic.

Hey DJ...

Very nice looking piece. The color palette in this piece is especially nice. BaB looks great in my book, I really wouldn't change anything on him, maybe sweep his cape out a bit more for a better silhouette, but his attitude is spot on. Other than folks commenting on GW's age (she does look younger and not as evil) I think what gets me the most is her hands and pose. They lack the elegance that GW is known for. It seems silly I'm sure, but I feel like the hands would strengthen the overall pose. She seems a lil stiff there. You could definitely have gone for more contrapposto. I am however, glad to see her in that outfit. She showed up at a party a few weekends ago and I loved her in that outfit, so hats off to you there
