    Shhhhhhh! We're trying to sucker her into participating in this thread.
    (You're next!)


  2. I know CR just did her but I'd actually been kicking the idea of trying for a bit. And since we're obviously in different leagues art wise it's not like one was going to show up the other or anything...

    Besides, I focused less on the deadness aspect and more on the penchant for coffee! (Err, I think I recall her being nuts about coffee or something from her DA page... though I may have been dreaming that.)

    Anyway... To be totally honest I must admit I cheated a bit n this one. While I didn't trace (ok, I did do a rough 10 second trace of the hands because hands suck to draw and if I hadn't they would have come out far, far worse) but I did lay the blank sheet over the referance and mark out the proper placement of eyes to nose to mouth... Sue me!

    Even with the cheating there's still a bunch wrong here... I really needed to do more of the body to truly show the character I was trying to depict... The bat wing tiara thingy should have either been shrun small enough to fit in the pic or I should have left more room to include it... And of course all the other little things which inevitibly could be much improved But far be it for me to let a silly thing like lack of talent keep me from participating!!!




    I actually rather like this one...

    This started off really, really boring as just the Brickstown letters and mild attempt to make them look "bricky". Basically I was just trying to think what to sketch and did the letters to kill the time until I decided...

    But then I decided they needed a little something more...

    So then I added the prisoner sketch to it. It was a quick, easy little sketch that (by itself) probably fit into the proper time frame for this thread. Nothing amazing but I think it turned out alright...

    But then the whole thing was lopsided...

    Ok, so what else to throw in? I thought about more prisoners but figured that would be boring. Hmmm, Crey! Again, small, quick and easy sketches (probably took longer to find the reference pics) but they're recognizable for what they are supposed to be for the most part so I'm happy...

    But then the whole bottom of the page was empty...

    Ok, what to finish this off what?? I thought about the different villian groups in Bricks and of course there was mky favorite... This sketch is so so... I suppose I'm happy enough since it is recognizable (I hope) but at the same time work was coming to a close and I couldn't put too much time into it so it's a lot more rushed than I would have liked.

    Anyway, you're not here for a blow by blow... All in all I'll just say I am almost tempted to actually rdo the Brickstown and put full effort into each aspect and make a proper collage with that as the basic layout....

    But let's be realistic... I am far, far too lazy for that!
  3. Sorry man but I'll be able to make this one...
  4. Well the lacey parts could have been more see through but I think he did an amazing job on the costume. The only tiny flaw I see (and it could just be me)is that the fur of the magic bolero seems to be riding a tad too high up the one arm... Besides that I can't find a flaw...

    She doesn't come off as cute as I envision her but with the up lighting and overall feel of the piece I don't think forcing cute would really work.


    I must say I was shocked when the group Daybreakers showed up in my deviations... I never expected that at all. Even if rhardo's art wasn't top o the line I would be giving him raves just for going above and beyond like that.

    MMOart

    Well one can read "moving forward" and "creating new art" to mean he is once again going to start paying attention to MMOArt and thus is ready to pick up where he left off... Thus (hopefully) fulfilling past obligations of it...

    Not sure if I'd jump on that optimistic bandwagon if I had been left high and dry but *shrug*
  6. Who's Jayne Cobb and what's she got to do with anything???
    (and btw, when is Chuck coming back on air??)

    as for bunking a corpse... Well it would have to be more lively than my last girlfriend! Warmer too.
  7. Hmmm, I don't know. We generally don't take to them there fancy arts around these parts ..

    still, what with you being afflicted with redname-itis I suppose we could make an exception on compassionate grounds...

    Oh, alrighty, you twisted my arm enough... Post all the yummy goof arts ya have and to heck and tarnation with sticking to sketches!
  8. Omi http://spidey0318.deviantart.com/ was having a special Xmas rate so I jumped on it...



    I'll put full sized version on my DA page in the morning after work.
  9. Yeh, the message boards won't host the image for you so you have to host it someplace else and that inset it using the image tags, which you apparently figured out


    As for the US asking proof of Annie Lenox's gender... We just wanted to see her naughty bits is all. True story... leastwise for myself.

    But then again, my perspective is that if two people pay X for two sundaes and one gets whipped cream, why shouldn't the second person ALSO get the whipped cream?
    But then again, if the sundae comes with a free handgun and the adult gets the gun with their sundae, why shouldn't the child?

    For a more serious answer: It costs NCSoft no extra money or hassle to make the contest eligible to me. It costs them lots extra and lots of hassle to make it eligible to you. They're either going to not run the contest or exclude you... End of the day, I endorse their decision


    Personally, my gripe would be all about them giving crap away via Twitter and Facebook. I do not Twitter. I do not facebook. I will not do either and I certainly am not going to chain myself to either in the hope against hope I will see it quick enough and be fast enough to actually enter the code first or whatever...

    I personally find it BS that they use they methods instead of the message boards. Everyone in game has access to the message boards. Doing it via the boards would encourage people to use the boards. I see absolutely no reason Twitter and Facebook are needed....

    But end of the day, theyir contest, they make the rules. I can either play by them or not play at all. *shrug*
  12. Never dealt much with clones but my initial thoughts are:

    1) Unless cloning is legal and condoned I imagine whoever did the cloning, whether in the Rogue Isles or Paragon City (or elsewhere) would get some forgeries done if for no other reason than to cover their own butt... I generally would assume that if you had the resources to clone someone illegally you could probably get at lust rudimentary forged documents.

    2) If it was legal, or at least common enough that their had to be some kind of official policy, I imagine an intelligence/maturity test would be developed... Something that (at least attempted to) measure more than just IQ but also emotional stability, reasoning, maturity, etc... If a "perfect" clone was made that carried same memories, emotional rections, etc as a full grown adult then it would be laughable for the state to legally recognize them as a newborn. On the flip side it would be laughable to treat a clone of a 50 year old who was a blank slate mentally as a fully capable adult.


    As for legal status, I believe the "state" would do their best not to answer that question for a long, long time. Once it was attempted I believe it would be tied up in the court systems for a long, long, longer time. Unless your storyline had clones/cloning at least semi- well, not common but common enough that the issue had to be dealt with - Unless that's been the case for 20+ years I think it would be safe to assume there was yet no definitive, all encompasing legal view on their status. Most definitely not a unified public opinion view.

    As for legal age, I don't think they'd have one until their status has been sorted out... I would think if some scumbag cloned children to make child pron or such they would end up being jailed for every possible offense except child porn... Too many legal and ethical questions as yet unanswered but they would find a way to jail the scumbag.
  13. "a fool and his money are soon parted" and I have no problem with that...



    Though I am slightly saddened that it's not me parting them.
  14. Hey!

    I er... Um... Well...

    CR smells!!!!!
  15. Ooooooh.... Now I can't wait to get home and check that out! Something tells me my phone just isn't big enough to catch the full coolness of that one!


    Edit"

    Ok, home now... Looking at it full sized all I can say is that if it wasn't for the missing pieces of... Well, if it wasn't for all the sti... Awww, screw it! I'll be in my bunk!
  16. It's not polite to be hitting strangers and I most certainly am not "hitting you back" for I am far too much the gentleman to partake in such shenanigans!

    Still, it is a pleasure to make your acquantance, I sm sure...

    There are plenty of arts worth viewing around here lately. Battlewraith has quite an interesting theme going on in their arts of late, you can look into those by checking out the thread entitled Buy This. Pirate Cashoo has been doing some stunning pieces. I cannot think of her threads name off hand but it shouldn't be too hard to find...

    ChristopherRobin's arts are amaxing but, unfortunately they don't come often enough. Still, definitely check out his gift art and wip thread... It's called something like that...

    Of corse Foo is always producing great stuff, as is Juggertha...

    There are also many others around producing great stuff but perhaps a bit less regularly due to school, real life, etc... LadyJustice, Starwing, Wasst,EddySwan and so on and so on...

    I know I am missing some greats but stick around and keep your eyes open and you will see their stunning works for yourself...

    Just stop hitting people, will ya?



    (truly sorry to those names which didn't immediately come to mind...)
  17. Bell Point Hospital roof, 0230-ish
    Caemgen crouch on all fours at the edge of the rooftop watching traffic, enjoying the light breeze through his hair and across his wings, taking in the scent of the water and waiting.

    Waiting sucks, he thought to himself as he idly picked up a loose pebble with his tail and chucked it over the street below, over the park and on to the rooftop of the Green Line station across them both.

    The witch had sent him here, Fenian Girl or Fenian Lass or whatever the press was calling her these days. She wasn't a typical dusty book reading, spell chanting witch but rather a mystical energry wrapped around her foot as she kicked your aaa... Butt. Still, when she had her hunches it was best to listen to them.

    That listening was why there was six feet, 220 pounds of demonic looking muscle perched atop a hospital doing nothing but waiting, watching and wishing he had brought a snack like Fenian had told him to... No clues as to what was going to happen. No clues as to what he should do about it. No clues as to when other than "tonight.".

    Yeah, waiting sucks big time.

    Still, it's better than grocery shopping, he reminded himself. Paragon has a lot of freaks in it and most times people are polite enough to act like they don't notice the red skin, the dragonish wings, the horns or the tail... But ya get up close to them, say close enough to pay for groceries, and not many can hide their revulsion at the eye sockets filled with smoke and fire....

    Letting out a sigh, Caemgen once more used his tail to throw a small stone across the street, over the park and onto an metro-rail station rooftop. There was no sign of anything wrong but he would carry out his vigil just as he had promised the witch that he would. With that smile of hers she could get him to agree to anything... Though he was begginning to regret not listening to her about the snack.

    He really could go for a pudding cup...
  18. It's not intended as a shot at Foo... I just happened to notice his post count earlier and sorry but been here 5 years or not, nobody can have something meaningful to say in all 20,000+ posts. Just ain't happening!

    And leave our little Cashoo alone, ya big meanie! You think it's easy for zombie pirates to post? As if running an Internet connection out to sea wasn't hard enough, she still has all that rigormortis to deal with when she tries to type!!

    Still though, more posting goodness is required from her sexy deadness... The ship must set in port sometimes and she can always train the parrot to type for her. (every pirate has a parrot somewhere, right?) so ya, more Pirate Posts or she'll have to walk the gangplank!

    But no making the fun of her by you or a certain stuffed bear will be fed to my stuffing rending greyhound!
  19. Nice arts on it but do people still use wall calendars? I thought they went the wat of dinosaurs, wrist watches and my sanity...

    So why's this the first I heard of this comic?
  20. Even a psycho nutjob deranged sawbones can have a masterpiece once in a while

    and hey, this is the Internet... There's no shy on the Internet! Just keep reminding yourself that no matter how big an ahole you make of yourself, you never have to actually meet these people! (that's what I do... And I'm like one step away from that never leaving the house phobie... Heck, I hate answering the door when I order pizza!)


    And, errrr, not having something useful to say is no excuse to not post. Just look at my post count for evidence of that.... Or Foo's!
  21. And as if rhardo's http://rhardo.deviantart.com/ portraits of the Daybreakers weren't awesome enough, he was amazingly nice enough to combine them into this gift art:



    Always a huge thrill to wake up and find such gifts I cannot possibly thank him enough.

    Pyro Nympho

    Very cool... I think it really gives a good feel for the character.
  24. I approve....

    But my opinion means nothing on this But I think you grabbed a great slice there which would really work great assuming she doesn't want too much text on it which would coverup the sunset and bridge...
  25. That ship MUST be captained by the dread pirate ChristopherRobin then!
