Caemgen

Latest Pieces...

First a piece by Aposcar. He has been very, very slow in getting the three pieces done but he HAS at least stayed in contact which, for the most part, makes me fine with the slowness... Anyway, here's the second of the three - Alpha! (Caemgen still to come... eventually.)

Hey now! I told you ya didn't have to do the HUD!

No idea on the intention behind the words, just saying how I read it. "Heh" I take as a bit of a laugh - probably not the best way to start a comment about a crime. Next we're told it's "not even the first time it's happened" which comes off to me as an attempt to minimize the impact or to blame the victim.

I imagine there would be quite the different response if in response to a different crime someone had said: Heh. It's not even the first time it's happened to her. She's got to be more careful where she walks.

I don't think anyone is ever asking for it or deserves it. Be it theft, ****, murder or whatever. Yes, people definitely should be careul of themselves and their possessions but no matter how careless they were I think it's crass to publicly laugh at and blame them.

This was a great session, there wasn't a single entry I didn't like and didn't consider voting for... Each artist deserves congratulations! And U-Naught, I hope you eventually finish that piece cause I love the concept!

But in the end, there can be only one! Well, this isn't the end and we still have more than one.... Hmph, too soon for highlander references I guess...

Anyway, big Congratulations to Christopher Robin!!! You went way above the call of duty with what you tackled and it really paid off! Enjoy your month of no worries!

Woot!

Looking really good! Nice job. Now do more!!

Like others have saif, great pic, awesome colors... Definitely an artist I am going to have to check out...

Question - is that mermaid a tattoo or something else?

Very nice! Though you do lose two Man Points for having your first full piece be a teddy bear...

(Though if it's a scheme to win chicks over you may end up getting the points back... And maybe gaining a few if it gets you twins.)

It was mainly a joke... I was a bit suprised by your prices but definitely not in any real danger of heart problems.

My thoughts, for what they're worth...

Don't know much about Sentry but I think he's like Superman power level wise? Basically the strongest, most invulnerable... And if that is close to right I don't know if I see Iron Man as having a chance so the end doesn't have quite the shock value it could. Square him off againt the Hulk or maybe Thor and I'd be more wowed?

(note, haven't read comics regulary in about 2 decades so power levels of characters as I remember and imagine may he different/ have changed.)

My next issue is with the flying at each other panel. All in all it's a scene that has been done. You need to spice it up a bit more somehow. Perhaps have IM racing towards a waiting Sentry instead, Sentry either being unaware or almost bored by the attack. Or perhaps a perspective not used often... I was just thinking that placing the camera at about the small of IM's back and a but above could look pretty cool. That would probably show enough IM to make him identifiable and still pretty much give us things from his pov...

Anyway, point is that I think this scene needs to be livened up a bit somehow, just how doesn't matter much.

The last scene has also been done before but being a classic scene it can be done again without too much drawback... And it looks great so far so I am all for keeping that scene... Though perhaps this should he a whole page...

But what about the BOOM? Well, if you change the flying towards one another scene to make it more dramatic, more imminent, more epic, you could almost leave off the boom entirely. Show the boom via the results! Perhaps some lingering dust clouds in the last panel... I think I'd rather skip big sound effect panels but that may be just a personal preference...

Anyway, in my opinion I think you need to snazz up the coming together scene but if you do that in a cool enough way you do not need an in between page... And in fact the fighting page (the most obvious between page subject) would likely just take away from the impact of the suddenness of the final page.


Hmmm, only idea I can think of that could be interesting and keep the impact would be a flashback to show why the two heroes are fighting but that would be hard to pull off quickly and succinctly enough to note lose the suddenness impact...

Anyway, just my thoughts... (and final panel does look like it could come out awesome...)

1 Pyro
2 CR
3 JKat

The basic rule here is that you can't talk actual prices on the boards...

Besides, you just about gave me a heart attack!

Sorry to hear you had problems on DA, I'd ask what happened but I guess privacy kind of precludes that... Ah well, best wishes!

Even having no clue who many of these are, these are all greatly humorous!!

My general rule is: You don't kick my dog, I don't draw your face.

Happy Birthday!!!!

(I'll spare you the punishment of me drawing you...)

His art is not dirty so it should be safe...

Those came out absolutely fantastic! I think some characters can be lost in the Sanchefication process if they're not unique enough but Natrix and Pyro are definitely Natrix and Pyro! Great catches!

What I think is one of the coolest mission maps I've yet seen:





And THIS is just wrong!
