He screwed Caemgen's horns up. Here, let CR show you how they should have been drawn...

Obviously the horns are perfect or OCR would have shown up already!

Unless I miss my guess that is a Hmm of "I now have a new artist who's gallery I must study in more detail to discern if they are worthy of commissioning since lately it seems I cannot give my money away." ...just a guess though.

and saying all that with one syllable of sound isn't concise, poinant and informative??

edit so I don't have to double post...

Questions for those who look here:

Are there lurkers here interested in seeing the arts I get who don't watch me on dA? If so, cool... But if not, and everyone sees them over there anyway, I'm wondering if I should bother resizing to post here as well...

Question for everyone: I generally buy in three's, a piece for each character... So I usually wait to post them together rather than just throwing them up as they come in... Anyone have a preference either way?

Just curious...

I enjoy seeing all 3 together

but I think the opportunity has presented itself here.

I'd like to take a crack at Snareser pieces. or just one.




Nice job Scooter!! And thanks, it's great!

Yummy colors and lighting, couldn't go into more detail even if I wanted to.

Too early in the morning... ;P

Not going to comment on the digital colors done here but from a design standpoint there is one thing that breaks the continuity for me on this otherwise exceptional piece... on either side of the head you can see what look to be neck muscles where (if you look at any other Alpha piece) there clearly should be armor plate. Unless Alpha has another armored suit that I haven't seen where he is wearing blue tights on his upper body... but even then his abdominal region looks to be metal plates and circuitry. That glaring exception aside I really enjoy the dynamic pose and foreshortening work on this piece. A little more attention to detail needed but well done Snareser.

That kinda bothered me too CR. but I tried not to mess with the line too much..

I had to thicken them up a few pixels so they would stand up to the abuse of my colors.


 

Posted

Yeah... I probably would have taken that up with the artist except these were pretty much a cheap, quickie, take 'em as they come kind of deal...

But Scoots, on the others if you feel like something needs fixing (and think you can fix it) then either go right ahead and do so or ask me about it if you prefer... I certainly cannot blame you for just going by the linework though

The stretch marks bother me less here than they could though. Since this has a kind of older comic book type feel to me I give more liberties than to a more realistic looking piece.

First off, if you somehow missed it, check out Swanzies Adventures in Color thread (page 8) - He, as usual, did an amazing job for me coloring Clap-san's lines!! I'm always amazed at how seamlessly he slips his colors into whichever style of art he is working with to make great new art without losing the flavor of the original...

Secondly, new stuff from Jirogam - He put his own spin on my characters, taking some liberties with stuff like the size of shoulder pads and such, but I think the results are pretty darn cool...







These look cool. It looks like they have the Techno Virus from the X-universe... Or even a little WarHammer 40K twist. Cool new twist on these toons though!

For my 2000th Post I thought I would do something special...

For Caemgen.

Woohoo!!



Nicely done Scoots!!

New Arts!!

Sirst up, Caemgen by Omi, or as he's known on dA Spidey0318 - http://spidey0318.deviantart.com/ This is from a big batch I bought and gave away most of... I would have preferred he finished up those before my own but then again I never complain about new art!! But for the lucky recipients from that batch - it's coming. Slowly but coming...



The next if from our very own RedFire and if you haven't seen it already then you're not following the boards closely enough! He has his own (still new) thread of arts HERE and of course his own dA page as well: http://artchivist.deviantart.com/



And finally (for now) this art proves that even I can get lucky once in a while!

No, no... get your minds out of the gutter! 1) I wouldn't have art done of THAT! and B) I don't actually get lucky like THAT!

Nope, this is a Kiriban catch! Frankly this word was new to me when I started using dA regularly but once I figured out there were gifts involved I got interested!!! This pic is for catching Kimir-Ra's 11,111th hit on her main da page http://kimir-ra.deviantart.com/




And oops! Almost forgot... Secret bonus art??

I noticed this through my DeviantWatch of EvilMark http://evilmark.deviantart.com/ (aka our very own Foo) and was quite shocked! Opening it up I see he says he's owed it to me for quite a while but I still haven't figured out why! But I will not look gift art in the mouth! (Unless it's goft art of inside a mouth??)

Lol, thanks FC...

As for the watches, I'm honored you're appreciating so many I have been able to exhibit through my chars . They may not all be top of the world talent but each has something which caught my eye and intrigued me.

I'm loving these new editions to your gallery.

The face on Fenian in the pic from kimir-ra is quite excellent

Right back atcha! Though it's a good thing I have you on watch on dA as it seems not everything there has made it here yet (which is fine... just sayin')

Thanks, I definitely agree... I particularly love they eyes!


And I've got more!!

These three are from the first batch I bought off of Mykemanila http://mykemanila.deviantart.com/ - I loved how they were coming out so much I bought up a bunch more and recently gave a bunch out for a couple solo's of people and for some team ups. Those will take a while but in the meanwhile we can enjoy these

These ones were also meant to be team ups with forumites but I promised the refences would come quickly and that was in the midle of the night so there wasn't a lot of time for people to respond so I ended up using a couple in game villians and VexXxa...

What I found shocking at first were the poses... I suggested nothing more than the two characters fighting and the first of them I saw was this:



At first I was like WTF?? I'm losing!! But after the initial shock wore off I really loved that! I mean how often do we see the good guys getting their butts kicked? Yet let's face it... sometimes we do bite off more than we can chew. Besides, we all know we eventually either turn the tables or come back to win the day after a short pitstop at the local hospital...

I particularly love the detail he paid to the Crey Tank in this piece... I also love the idea of the two armored foes hoing head to head plus Alpha has a history with Crey...

Anyway, next up was this piece:



Again he continued with the kicking of my butt!

I haven't actually seen Pitbull in game (I'm guessing you only run across him villian side?) but I found him one time while tinkering with writing an AE arc and I couldn't resist using someone of his size to pit tiny little Fenian up against...

For the final pic, Mykemanila turned the tables and had my character getting the better of the fight:



It's funny, if I had chosen the scenes more I would have had me winning the other two and VexXxa having the better of it in this one... I basically consider art I get including someone else to be more their art than mine so it would seem only natural. (Art of just someone else I totally consider theirs... Hopefully everyone realizes this. I don't include those ones on my DA page, or really even this thread as it's their art to show and display, not mine...)

Before CR can point it out... Yeah, the horns are wrong. I pointed it out for the future work that he's doing and hopefully he'll come closer to the exact horns in that one but, specially on quick deals and such I'm finding it a bit hard to be too exacting... on the more "major" pieces though I will be.

One thing about this pic of Caemgen... Mykemanila made him furry!?!

Actually, he's the first to really get my intentions for Caemgen right on that one!

When I first designed Caemgen I used the plant pattern for his chest and such in an attempt to kind of signify fur... I didn't like the monstrous looks and I found plant (without leaves, of course) to be the next best option to try to signify that... Caemgen, in my head, was basically a Nightcrawler type but with wings...

When I first started getting arts I wasn't very picky or forceful on details... And then it got to where I had all but forgotten Caem was supposed to be furry... *shrug* Then I saw this piece and it all came flooding back!

Anyway, the fur is a part of his notes now and from here on out it should be a part of new arts of Caemgen...


 

Posted

Looks to me like Alpha is using superior agility to avoid the blow... Either that, or he's going to rotate in a second and auger a fist right into mister Crey's helmet...

Just because you get hit, doesn't mean you're losing!

"Alright, laddie, that was your free one, but now Momma's going to have to get rough on you."

These are great additions to your collection - showing a slightly different aspect of your characters. I'm not sure I approve of moving Fenian out of the center of the frame, like that, though... Almost makes it seem like Pitbull is the primary character. The other two are Hugely dynamic!

Be Well!

The Caemgen vs VexXxa piece turned out AWESOME!! And don't worry, Caemgen was only able to knock the wind out of VexXxa...I'll have to counter act with the come back blow! So watch out!!!

Thank you for the artz, Caemgen!
