[SMILEFACE]

Tester got a bit more werk on it but im gunna get the other up to par an then finish em off

[JailHouseRock2]

Good work guys, lets kick it up a notch!

Lovin' it Granny, and great stuff Snootch!

Really hope your move gose alright Larissa! All the best!

Barrrr...... Everything that could go wrong did on this one. I even think I fucked up the size... This is nearly as big as it gets Oh well, I'll take a quick brake from it and start the Drak King.

Keep rockn'
matt

i like the sketch snootch, now flesh that baby out!! i agree. it's uber hard to design a character without working everything out first. even if you gotta have a style sheet drawn up before you even make the composition.

spect, coming along great--i should have said this earlier so if i'ts not possible don't worry about it--but can you make her/dino closer/bigger? she is kind of small in the composition. if you can't fix it, dun worry about just work with it!


matt, i loved the first bishop, and this one is banging too---work on softening up some edges though--a lot of them are really bold and don't mesh well with the atmosphere--and don't beat yourself up too hard cuz i don'[t think it's as bad as you think it is. also--that size is ok--sucks for trying to work on details, but our final presentations can't be much larger anyway, so don't sweat the size. and thanks!


awesome guys i'm glad to see some more work coming out!
i'll try and get something up tonight. been busy with family this weekend and right now i'm supposed to be packing but um....yea...CA > packing.

[jigje]

You guys. WOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW.

Yer all on fire.

[snootchy]

thanks jigjie, you roxurs mang!!

Granny I agree with hala, in that the character could be a bit bigger, cuz it looks a bit more like an illustration more so than character sketch, looks great though!

Matt really nice lighting you captured and it totally shows a bad force to be reckoning with, nice job also agree with hala to mix up some of the hard edges, keep going mang doing great!

Almost there dewds, last week to put it into 5th gear!

Hala not sure if I'm gonna be able to finish my other character by thursday, i'll try my best, but will let u know in advance if i can't make it by then. Oh also I was wondering if you guys have the character's separated like on separate layer so that it's easier to just piece together, rather than have to go lasso it out, not a biggie but just wondering?

Here's an update on the good alliance succubus, still got a bit to do on this but it's getting there. I'd say it's about 3/4's finished, but the checklist is still long for what i need to do to finish this piece up!

[SMILEFACE]

does this help? sorry guys didn mean to drop the ball i can do another with just the girl if yah want lemme know

[snootchy]

cool beans man looks good to me!; maybe we can double check with dae on most of ours, like compile into one big sheet so she can scan over to see if the aspect ratio is appropriate

[vardoburrito]

aaaa Mike, her right bottom leg looks/feels a bit long.
Perhaps show the ankle bend or bottom of the shoe more. [Googly eyes though. o.0 Please x2.]


Keep the heart attacks in check, blaghblagh

[JailHouseRock2]

Thanks a bunch for the crits guys!
Blake this is looking sweet! And mike as well, but I agree with dwardo that the far leg is a bit to long.

Oh also I was wondering if you guys have the character's separated like on separate layer so that it's easier to just piece together...

and just so there is no confusion, we don't need to do a compliation image for this CHOW.


Hope your moves going well Hala!

And thanks again to Jigje and Edward, Cheers!


My evil King concept, trying to keep it simple.

Don't slow down!
matt

[snootchy]

Dwardo & Matt: thanks for the fix! yea the leg armor is giving me lots of trouble but left it rough and moved onto other things but I plan on polishing the bottom half as much as the upper! awesome job matt, looks great; i think the arms look a tad long but other than that works really well for the villain, also i think tears and ripped clothing might add a bit more edge to the bad guy!

oh that's awesome, so just need to finish our characters up and slap it into chess board, werd up! thnx matt

here's a quick block in and then experimental lighting/value and color, prolly won't use this but just to see how quickly I'm going to be able to get this one knocked out

[SMILEFACE]

wowzaers yall er look'n freak'n hot burn'n down this thread the evils are WICKED HAHA GO TEAM AN DWARDO ROCKS SUGAR COOKIES

[Peetaer]

Wicked character and experimental lighting. Very cool.

[SMILEFACE]

shanks peetaer !!!!!!!!


some werks on it gunna have em as good as i can do on thurs night

[hala]

Matt--see if you can push the design a bit more. I know you can do it--it's looking good already but I think you can make it scream "BAD ASS AND EVIL" a bit more maybe have a couple decapitated heads too. not just one. (Edit: Bahh i'm a fucknut and totally read over your statement about keeping it simple--go for it )

Mike: I know she's supposed to be in a tower--but in our storyline evil IS in the forest. could you include some snowy tree branches of something? just to show the location in regards to the story line. I also think you could do more with the lower half of her body--her top half has some great design--but isn't being carried out through the whole body. just some thoughts

Spect : I love the saddle on the gorilla and I like what you've done with her outfit. I'll wait to see what you do next before I crit.


edit: i'm sorry if i'm coming off nit picky. just trying to be helpful and provides crits even tho i wanna give ass pats--i save ass pats for when we're done ok?

----------------------

I don't know why I am even posting these pathetic sketches gonna just make it ratty-lots of metal and chain. I'll try and get some thumbs up in a couple hours.
my family has been spending a lot of time with me before I leave so I haven't had much time to draw. really sorry ><
since Mike has a job now
i'm assuming he doesn't have time to put the team video together--is anyone else up to the task? if not it's ok---we can't do everything

i made changes to the good queen..i post them later tho

[{CKL}]

Hustle, hustle, people!

[JailHouseRock2]

Looking great Spect and Snootch!

And hala these an't that bad at all, I see where your going and it looks great!

And thanks CKLamb, and Peetaer!

Haha, Larissa I think I read you mind again... two heads! And yeap I'm still working on making him more evil looking... Harder than I thought...

Cheers,
matt

[hala]

Ck's right.
We need our asses kicked so bust it out kiddies.
Thanks CK!


I like it so far matt, the colors really helped it in terms of personality. Just an idea--flip the cross upside down? Maybe that is way too cliche but just an idea.

Watch the proportions of his legs/feet. There is something off about them. Maybe you could have some small animal skulls hanging off the bottom is his cape or belt or something. He's a slayerrrrrrrrrr xD

And thanks--tho I feel like she is coming out way too dainty and not as powerful as i had imagined in my head.

[snootchy]

peetaer & CK Lamb: Thanks mang you rock big time for the ra ra cheers brah! CK hope u and ur team push it hard to the finish line but looking great mang!!

Granny: looks great, i think further detail in certain areas and pushing of darks and lights on the character will help it pop a bit more, but keep going it's looking greeeat!!

Matt: the lighting is awesome on that sketch really gels well, and it's looking more sinister, i think some softer edges still could be implemented and also check the perspective of the crown looks a tad off, but liking the overall mood keep pushing mang almost there!

hala: ooh great sketch in the top left, really like that pose and design, looks like a certain urgency is created in the pose! good luck with the move!! just keep working things out, the character will turn out great, i know it's tough with the move and all but u'll come through wif the bomb diggity!!

I know she's supposed to be in a tower--but in our storyline evil IS in the forest.

uum i guess i had the wrong impression of what we were doing cuz i thought we could either set it in the castle of each side or the forest but no worries, i'll just do a new enviro

so here's the update on the good alliance, i have a little checklist going and plan to be done with this one by tomorrow night and hopefully get started on the evil alliance tomorrow as well; like i said the previous post was just a test, not really anything i'm going to stick with other than the sketch of the character, but thanks for your responses!

4 more days y'all!

*edit: yea i'm not sure about the video, i haven't really took shots of any of my sketches but if u guys got anything just send it to me and i can do it this weekend otherwise if anybody else is up for doing it i'm coo wif that!

[hala]

blurry thumbs.
yay D:

[JailHouseRock2]

Thanks a bunch for the crits guys!

Hala: Awesome thumbnails, I'd go for either the 2 bottom, they show off the character more! Great stuff!

snootchy: Details are starting to looking great! that legs stil to big, but I know you've got to do that yet. And I'm afraid I having got that much saved on Livestream, it lags up my photoshop too much, so I don't mind not doing it.

still heaps to do, but heres an update before I go to bed!

All the best,
matt

[JailHouseRock2]

Just about there on this one, really enjoyed painting it... hope it shows. But I don't like the crown/helmet.. any ideas?

On to the dark Bishop next... and If I have time I've got some extra stuff planed... wait and see

Go team go!
keep rockn'
matt

Edit: Update on the Bishop, nearly there!! Rock on!

[jigje]

schweet Matty

[snootchy]

Jigjie: thanks mang fo the cheers!!

hala: cool thumbs, keep pushing them! Have a greeaat move tomorrow!! Also don't think i'll have both mine done by thursday, prolly late friday or mid saturday, if it's too much work for u to put together i don't mind putting the stuff together this weekend and submitting either way let me know.

Matt: suhweet, looking great! the cloth rendering looks excellent as for the crown maybe a dead carcass head or animal head of sort as a crown or bones for design elements

sorry thought i'd finish tonight but i'm just way too burnt out from work today, so only spent an hour today, still gotta fix that back leg, also the enviro touched up a bit was thinking of putting like a plasma shield wall, kind of like her powers, she can defend the castle from flaming firecrackers with her demonic powers by casting a proto-plasma wall of some sorts

also including a close up, almost 100% size of the res i'm working at, most of those small details will get lost on the downsizing

[SMILEFACE]

[hala]

"YOU HAVE THREE FUCKING SECONDS TILL I GOUGE YOUR GODDAMN EYES OUT".
I feel like that way to often >> maybe this is why i have no friends xD

you guys rock!!!!

[SMILEFACE]

hahaha yall are my heroes an heres yer last chance to crit or forever hold yer piece i can werk some more on it after werk an that but if you can get the crits in early i can get a jump ons it thanks fer letting my be on yall team im deeply honored

[snootchy]

great pep talks and vids peepz u guys coo as bang bang in da anoose!!

granny: awesome update mang! i think some more details on the characters itself would help pull more focus to them, doesn't have to be super detailed all over just in areas where there is light present; also the good version, she seems to be in a standing pose or looks like it, rather than nested into the saddle, i think a bit of drop shadow or contouring of that leg into the saddle will help to ground her more in the saddle, keep up the hard work

was a pleasure werking wif y'all, keep up the hard werkz peepz!!

oy think i'm getting sick, not feeling too well today, but got a bit of time to the bad one, still deciding on lighting and enviro; think i'm gonna go with night moonlit dappled lighting effect on this one
