I would love to participate but my schedule is so freaking bad that I'll just wait and see if I get lucky when events are planned... And if so, I'll force someone to explain to me again how to get on test server (I know it's something about replacing a file somewhere, etc... just never bothered to actually check it out yet.)

Thanks for the tips I did kind of check my own ears in comparison to eyes but overall I was mainly just going by the pic. The ears are hard to even notice in the screenshot and the left (on right hand side looking at screenshot) I think I didn't even notice was an ear per se and just expressed as a bit of loose hair (or tried to...)
The eyes are wonky and I noticed that while doing the sketch but I was kind of doing this as an extension of the 5 minute sketches so I was only doing so much correcting...
Looking now, the lips are wore than I thought they were...
The chest was originally even worse before I did some correcting and shading
She doesn't have a super chest though... In fact she's as flat as the game allows and I made a point of telling the artists working on her for my commissions not to go all chesty on her... Personally, I don't need too much more than a handful and to an extent this toon is based on an ex... Though in my sketch they come off more as droopy than the small but perky I was going for on the character...
I can do better than this... Or at least I used to be able to But to be fair to myself, I was aiming for as little editing as possible, more of a quick do I still have it kind of thing.... And I did at work so not the best conditions.
Sometime soon I'll actually sit down and see just how good I still am and post the results. Don't get me wrong, I'm nowhere near as good as most who post there stuff here... And as I mentioned elsewhere, I'm more of a mimicer than a creator... But looking at all these arts lately has got me thinking I should at least work off some of the rust from my old skillz...
Once I do force myself to really give my best at something though I'll definitely be looking for more constructive criticism from ya! -
I'll grab one if your still open - noted ya on DA

Alrighty, we have our winners...
1st Prize: Kai with 29
2nd Prize: the_fox_Rox with 94
And special gift prize from GrayHuntress: McBoo
There's really no first, 2nd or such since all the prizes are the same - A cel-shaded piece of arty goodness done by the incomparable, incomprehensible and incorrigible the Foo!
Congrats to all winners, and thanks for all who participated!!
Winners should PM me their Deviant Art id (if they have one) so I can forward to the Foo so he knows to expect your contacting him about the commission... Though I imagine the Foo will be seeing this anyway
And if you didn't win, remember, CCC#3 is still open!
CCC#4... Well, that's a long way out. I'm sure I will do one eventually but for now I'm gift arted out... Unles another really good sale comes along!
note: there was a reason I picked the first two numbers for the first contact... Personal significance nobody could know here (or care about.) This time, as you can see, I got a bit cute... Don't know if either winner took the same route to getting their guess or not but next time I will go back to the incomprehensible, unknowable logic instead

Double post for some important announcements....
#1) As I just mentioned, Round 1 is open still.
The rounds are more a length of time to give everyone a chance to guess at the numbers once than it is about the awarding or not of a prize. All the prizes can be won in a round... Or none. So if you haven't guessed yet - Guess away! If you have guessed already, be patient and wait for Round 2 if we get there...
#2) NEW PRIZE ADDED!
In true comic book fashion, a voice out of the past has spoken up once again to change the course of events... The recent past, yes, but still the past.
Even if you don't see her, GrayHuntress sees you!
Rather than pounce and attack she has instead most kindly added a third prize to this contest - A third commission by theFoo! (Had to know GrayHuntress would take advantage of anothers misfortune!!)
So GrayHuntress has chosen yet a 3rd secret number that, if guessed correctly, will win you a Foo commission. As she is on a (hopefully short) sabbatical, I will be handling the posting when someone correctly guesses her number...
So long and short of it, there are still two prizes to be given away and either or both can still be given out in this round, the next, the one after that, or whatever...
Edit to answer Thor's Assassin:
1 guess per person per round. New rounds will begin at approximately 8pm eastern time. The winning of a prize changes nothing except the number of prizes left to be awarded.
So if you have already guessed in round 1 you must wait for me to announce round 2 open before guessing aagin. -
Quote:Hmmph??Originally Posted by Lazarus
This round is over Calash, no more guessing until tomorrow's round begins.
Round 1 is NOT over...
Each round is merely a guessing period. One or both prizes can be won in round 1... I only seperated things into "rounds" so that there was a segments where where people could take one guess and then have to wait until everyone else had a chance...
ROUND 1 is still open! -
No winner yet... Errr, Kai snuck in while I was posting and snagged herself a winner!!
CONGRATS KAI!!!!
You get to choose between a commission by the Foo and a commission by the Foo!!
Picked numbers:
7 27 29 37 39 44 48 69 79 87
Round 1 entrants:
EnVee, Thor's Assassin, DarkEther, Oathbound, Jophiel, Clobbertime, Typo Cop, Bubbawheat, Lazarus, Kai
Next update either around 7am (eastern) or 5pm.... -
Wow! Nice piece of a..... art!
-
House is about to start so....
ROUND 1 IS OPEN!
I'll try to check in after House to see if there was a super quick winner but otherwise I'll probably not be back online until morning (maybe for a couple minutes) or Tuesday afternoon.... -
Not im my sig...
Actually, I'm kind of a Dark/Dark specialist at the moment. All 3 are such. Fenian Girl and Caemgen are scrappers, Alpha is a tanker.
Fenian's powers are mainly tinted green with a dash of orange to keep with the color scheme.
Alpha's defensive powers are tinted solid blue, offensive solid yellow...
And Caemgen's are all red.
Personally though, I don't subscribe totally to the games powers. I always considered Alpha's powers nanite related since he is wearing technological armor. Him wrapping himself with netherworld energy doesn't really fit... Fenian's a witch whose powers come naturally and who is generally too lazy to study to expand her powers thus the more physical ones are the ones that are currently manifesting... Caemgen looks like a demon but was born to normal humans and has no mystical aura (or mutant genes either, go figure) so what exactly he is is a big question...
But Fenian already has an identical alt with different powers (electrical melee and Super Reflexes) and I'll eventually do the same thing with the others. So, long story short, my characters will have a range of powers... If they fit a scrapper or a tank one incarnation or another will have 'em eventually - I plan on just reusing the same toons with different power sets rather than totally differnt alt after alt
-
Do these kids even know who that is?? But yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking...

Just posting to say 2 things...
1) Remember that you can enter twice. I never specified that it had to be two different characters (yours or mine) or anything so I'll leave that totally wide open to each entrant to decide.
Of course if you're just wanting to avoid double posting or want to see what others offer up, you are of course free to hold your second entry until whenever... Or heck, just enter once if you want. It's all good
2) I am going to restrain myself from making any commentary whatsoever on any of the entries. Well, if someone does something wrong like not include a screenhot I'll mention that... But I am not allowing myself to comment otherwise so as not to influence any entries. -
Joph... Psy... Great work. I love each of your sketches!
Psy - When your head is that much bigger than your Bum - You're fine
Joph - I honestly can't decide if that funnier if it's the octopus talking or the man... And I never knew we were supposed to send the Octopus to the Zig... That Chinese place always paid me a few bucks to drop off whatever I could....

Bah, hold one on the East Coast and I just may go...
Heck, hold it in vegas and I am there days ahead of time!

Sharpies write (and don't smear) on anything, don't they?
But all in all, cardstock is probably a better idea... Probably easier to get printed and cut and all that. -

I'm totally gonna enter this bad boy! Though I'd still be expecting to see Foo artwork done by Foo.

Quote:I was joking... I'm a joker... I joke!Originally Posted by Kai
Dude...I'm getting all expensive and using cardstock for printing, double sided is too rich for my blood! Maybe after HeroCon I'll use the round ones for online cards and put some stats like show times, genres, etc info on the 'back'
Besides, the "stats" I was thinking of would not at all be appropriate anyway
On a serious note, have you considered using a lesser quality paper and laminating instead? I have NO idea if it would be cheaper or not, was just a thought... -
Quote:Very nice....Originally Posted by Kai
Yeah, I was too busy screenprinting yesterday for sketching
and now I guess you'll be needing our sizes and mailing addresses so you can ship us each out one??? -
Quote:Well I figured I would take advantage of TheFoo's misfortune and spread some art around. Sue me. You don't like it then go read the Mission Architect forums!Originally Posted by AmazedReaderThis guy is nuts! Has he nothing better to do than to buy commissions and give them away???
For this contest I am departing wildly from the other 2 contests. No random number guessing. Nothing so meager as a commission of one of your characters as a prize.
Nope, indeedy!
This contest is going to have screenshots, selections and voting!! Excited yet? Well just wait, there is more! This prizes for this contest is going to be one of the winners characters featured in some spectaculous fanmazing artwork by the Foo... Right alongside one of my characters!
Yes, that is correct. Not only will your character be in the art, but so will one of mine! (Don't want one of mine in the art? Go check out CCC#2 and stay out of this thread!)
I decided to be slightly selfish and instead of just giving away these two commissions I decided to turn them into "team ups" basically... Or maybe fight scenes if you win and you wanna use one of your villians... *shrug*
Once again I have two full cel-shaded pieces of artistry in motion by The Foo (check out his DA page here: http://evilmark.deviantart.com/) to give out as prizes...
Hmmm, so you may ask how will this contest work... (Well, c'mon... ask!!)
I'm glad you asked!
Step 1:
Entrants will take a peek at one of my 3 character galleries and decide which one they would like to see in a piece of arts with one of their characters. These galleries are below:
Caemgen
http://s26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...uited/Caemgen/
Daybreaker Alpha
http://s26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...ybreakerAlpha/
Fenian Girl
http://s26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...ed/FenianGirl/
Step 2:
The entrant will post which of my characters they want included, post a screenshot or two of their character, and give a brief description of what the picture they'd like to see is.
For example:
I'd like to see Caemgen in a pic with my character Daybreaker Alpha. (screenshot included.) I'd like to see them waltzing with one another.
Step 3: I shall wait a week so that everyone who wants to (and is eligible, see below) has a chance to enter. I will then pick the top 5 or so that I would like to see and post my choices.
Step 4: I shall wait about 2 or 3 days while everyone who wants to votes for which pic they would like to see. I'll post more on this when the time comes but basically I'll wheedle it down to about 5 or so and then the masses will get to make the final decision.
The Rules:
Entry is limited to those who have posted in this forum (outside of a contest thread) at some point before I posted this contest. I don't care if you posted once 6 months ago or twelve times yesterday. As long as I can find a post of yours on the Screenshots & Fan Creations forum by doing a search or something, you are eligible to enter. This contest is meant to be for the members of this forum and thus this small eligibility requirement.
This contest is open immediately. Since people can edit, change their minds, etc up until I close it to entries around 8pm Monday Oct 12th (give or take) there is no reason to delay...
Each entrant may enter twice. For clarities sake I would ask that you do it in two seperate posts... Each entrant may only win once. Thus you can want Character X up against Alpha and Caemgen and I may even allow both to the final round... But even if they are both the top vote getters only the top vote getter of those two will win and the second commission will go to the third top vote getter... make sense?
Previous winners may enter this contest if they wish.
Caemgen's Commission Contest #3 should NOT be confused with Caemgen's Commission Contest #2. They are two seperate contests and entry in one does not constitute entry in the other ('specially since they're totally different.) You may of course enter both if you wish but you must follow each contests rules within that respective contest...
And if you can't find the post for Caemgen's Commission Contest #2 then you best go look again!
Anyway, hopefully those rules will cover everything, if not I reserve the rights to edit, modify, change, and/or do whatever the heck I want in regards to this contest as I see fit.
(By the by, the odd pics in the character galleries I linked above can be ignored. They're there to suggest poses for personal commissions I ordered for each is all...) -

I'm going to stick with the same basic contest as last time - pick a number between 1 and 100 and if you guess correctly, you win. What do you win? Why, a $$$ full cel-shaded piece of artistry in motion of he character of your choice (minus the motion) by The Foo (check out his DA page here: http://evilmark.deviantart.com/)
There are two such commissions to win in this contest. the first person to pick one of the numbers I pre-selected gets to choose whether they want the commission being done by TheFoo or the one being done by TheFoo. The person who picks the second number I selected gets the commission by whoever is left.
The Rules:
Entry is limited to those who have posted in this forum (outside of a contest thread) at some point before I posted this contest. I don't care if you posted once 6 months ago or twelve times yesterday. As long as I can find a post of yours on the Screenshots & Fan Creations forum by doing a search or something, you are eligible to enter. This contest is meant to be for the members of this forum and thus this small eligibility requirement.
I will be picking two numbers between (and including) 1 and 100 and PM'ing them to myself. Once I open the contest you may guess a number. If your guess matches one of the numbers I PM'd myself, you win.
I will open the contest by posting a reply to this thread stating that the first round of guessing is open. This will happen somewhere around 8pm Eastern time today (Monday 10/5/09). After that post everyone who wishes to enter the contest may post guessing a number.
If the winners are not decided after the first round, a second round of guessing will happen. And so on, and so on. Each new round will open somewhere around 8pm-ish Eastern time. The rounds will open once I post that they are open, not before. If I oversleep, am hospitalized, whatever, then the contest is in limbo until I get around to posting that the new round is open.
If you miss a round, that's fine. Just do not expect to get a "catch up" guess or any other nonsense.
Edited posts containing a guess will disqualify that person from the contest. DO NOT EDIT YOUR GUESS POST.
You may only guess a number once per round. Anyone guessing more than once in a round will be disqualified from the contest. DO NOT GUESS MORE THAN ONCE PER ROUND.
Make sure your guess is clear and obvious. I would suggest using the format "My guess is #" and replacing the # with the number you are guessing. Feel free to ramble on afterwords but if there is any uncertainty at all as to your guess, I will be going with whatever the first number I see in your message is, whether it's 2, two or too... So, again, I suggest you use that format
Anyway, hopefully those rules will cover everything, if not I reserve the rights to edit, modify, change, and/or do whatever the heck I want in regards to this contest as I see fit.
Misc:
This shouldn't last as long as the last one since both prizes are being given away on the same set of numbers. but if it does, *shrug*, I found it more and more amusing the longer it went on.
Previous winners of my contests may enter if they so choose.
Caemgen's Commission Contest #2 should NOT be confused with Caemgen's Commission Contest #3. They are two seperate contests and entry in one does not constitute entry in the other ('specially since they're totally different.) You may of course enter both if you wish but you must follow each contests rules within that respective contest...
And if you can't find the post for Caemgen's Commission Contest #3 it's because you read this post too darn quick and I haven't finished writing it yet!
Final reminder: CCC#2 will open somewhere around 8pm Eastern... until then I should be around off and on so feel free to post questions, ask for clarification, or just chatter on... -
Hmmmm?? I just may have to show up after all.....!
