Times almost up!
Any last minute voters now is your chance.

Indeed and welcome to the art section Reppu.

Sorry TBA it has gotten quiet around here as you saw in my thread.
I echo Caemgen's sentiments, it wouldn't be an absolute barrier but I would feel silly
paying extra small amounts of change. If your target audience is America you
should do the conversions for them and price it in rounded dollar amounts.
If you lack a good up to date converter type "XE" into google.
As for rules you are not allowed to list prices for services here or they lock the thread.
Simple work around is provide a link to a DA journal or other site with
your prices and people interested can click through.
@Caemgen: The United Kingdom is not on the Euro,
they use the Great Britain Pound (GBP).

Laid down some flats and tried the power FX for her eyes.
Anyone want to punch it up just follow the image link to DA, hit download and grab the large version.
Cheers!
-
Sure!
I'll try and lay some flats on it a bit later.
One question though looking at the refs are there
supposed to be notches in the side to look more like an X or not?
-
The "Into Dust" piece? Yeah well done on that (left my con/crit over there) NH.
Sadly (to me) I could say the same, I've done a few NonCoH pieces on DA recently and
they've received hundreds of comments and +fav's and have easily blown past everything else in my gallery.
Although CW is a lesser branch of SW, it's still a branch of SW I guess.

Last chance to determine the final two,
every vote matters at this point.
Cheers!

Come on people... you've already picked your favorites in your head, show 'em some love and post!
#1. Tartyrsause - Shows improvement, seeing some nice new elements and details here.
#2. Leaf-Nin - Ahh the sewers, always a good (if somewhat smelly) time.
#3. Liz - ScrapperLock! (you mean it's not just me?)

Is his heterochromia part of his mythos? Symbolic of our dual nature or some such?
-
Careful, she noms back. Hmmm you make an interesting point.
The one thing I noticed is he gave her thin white eyebrows and they are in a
different shape than what I came up with. That is what looks amiss to
me but it could be that she is just too passive-looking for the attack
she is pulling off as well. One might be contributing to the other.
-
Ummm... what she said.

How said is it that this is the high point of my day today?) I always enjoy when there are comments or some constructive criticism in my thread.
No worries just suggesting what might make it blend better with the CoH, if you
want it to stand out or have a specific logo already set go with it.
The van logo works if it's a big part of the story was just suggesting other ways to incorporate it not so tied to Posi.
As I remember he was tolerated but the phalanx was told but out more than once. Either way.
Good question to keep in mind, I've had a few pieces get away from me in the last week too.Quote:Originally Posted by Torroes_Prime
you know, I can remember when I started the coloring that I really liked the 3-light sources look of it. But now that I'm actually looking at it I'm like "Okay the lighting is good. But what I was going for?"
Nothing wrong with an orderly desktop.Quote:Originally Posted by Torroes_Prime
Like I said, I don't personally care for center-centric wall papers but that's a personal preference. I'm also beyond mental about keeping my desktop neat and orderly as much as possible.
The centered image was just for maximum compatibility with as many desktops as possible.
If that really bugs you how about having the stripe, text and posi all going up the right
side (with or without the van logo) or half way between right wall and center?
These are just suggestions, if they don't work for you, no worries.
Cheers!

Yeah if the shield don't get you there's an Eagle's Claw kick right behind it... WHA - CHAAAAAAAAA!

Well since no one else has I'll give it a go. You didn't specify if you're looking for critique on design, layout, content or artwork so in turn...
Design; Looks good and with that much blue space it would be easy to resize it for different dimension desktops (1600x1200 1920x1200 etc). Two things I would suggest:
1. The "legacy" lettering doesn't match too well with the CoH lettering. The white ->black gradient only stands out from the dark blue because of the gray fringe. Perhaps different colors or remove the fringe but give it an outer glow like the CoH lettering (maybe ever brighter to draw attention) to better tie it in.
2. You have to make a decision if you want Posi and his green glow to be it's own design element confined within the stripe or not. If yes widen the stripe or restrict the glow if no then I would extend it more, right now it looks like it's accidentally spilling over.
Layout; I think the CoH LoS would look better centered. As a desktop most people have their icons along the left wall and this would cover up the letters and make for a jumbled look. The Posi stripe is okay on the right but some people have icons there too so if you wanted the most compatibility I would say make the Posi stripe down the middle with the lettering above it.
Content; Is/Was Posi ever a member of Vanguard? I know the Phalanx tangled with them over the Rikti in the comics. If you are not meaning to show his connection to van directly maybe move their emblem up and bracket either side of the lettering. Or use the Phalanx logo or some combination.
Artwork; Big thing here is to consider your light source. If his hands are the light source, as the lighting on his legs and torso suggest, then some things need to change. His helmet and shoulders are lit from the front by something inches away from his face and right about visor level but his hands are down and cast backward in what looks like the start of the Electron Haze animation. Also might consider some rim lighting in a bright green at places like the bottom line of the shoulder pads etc.
The particles orbiting his hands could have their trails stand out a bit more.
That what you were looking for?
Looking good though and I'm interested to see what comes of this.
Cheers!
P.S. From a layout standpoint what do you think of this?
The cuts and lineups aren't precise this is just a quick and dirty
cut/move to show what I mean.This would allow icons to either side.

Well the other BAquitania "prize" artz is done (kept one for myself).
My Martial Artz/Shield Scrapper Shieldara!
and a closeup
I know I'm biased here but I think this is some of the best work I've seen from him lately.
He really nailed the custom SG logo on her shield.

No worries on that front, it's way too time consuming at this stage but I do want to get better at it.

OhNohZ it's spreading!

Well another year gone by buddy, hope it's a great day filled with
wimminz, cake and artz... or all three at once.
Thought I would revisit this piece but all digital this time.
Might take me a while longer to finish it but here's a peak at the progress,

Agreed and I trust your experience I just don't remember a time when it was this quiet. F2P was a pretty big game changer.Quote:Originally Posted by Caemgen

free art?!?!
ah, my that's pretty.
I think CR that your problem might lie in your audience. In 'general' you are the equivalent of crazy guy on the street promising the end of the world without possessing any meteorites. Like everyone else in 'general.' Whereas in 606 "where everybody knows your name" We will heed your promises of meteorites and run for them. Same as what you describe just replace meteorites with arts.
Since there isn't...
HI NORM!
...any more arts I will take my beer and ...
*pulls the woodwork closed*
You do bring up an interesting point (and in a pretty ironic way considering how many doomsday prophecies
I've mocked... can't wait for December) and I know I dwell like 80% in the 606 and so am less
