  1. Gratz on the new 50 Memphis! I'm considering asking her (Avi) to
    color some of my lines and see what it looks like so thanks for the mini review.
  2. Cool trailer Ransim!
    For your first go this is impressive.

    A few thoughts for improvement...

    Some of the scenes, more so for the heroes, seemed to be a camera that is pointed
    at someone who's just standing there. I wouldd suggest either have them doing
    something (thought bubble/speech/emote)or shorten those segments a bit.

    Love the song 7 Nation Army (even liked this sort of tripstep-ish version) and it was cool
    to see people fist pumping to the beat but sometimes what is being said has nothing
    to do with what's happening visually. Still not bad and I know it's rare to get
    a perfect fit unless the video is made for that specific song but maybe
    some different scene arrangement or a diff song would work better.

    Some of the the text doesn't work well together, i.e.
    "What will you choose? Aid the villains? (is aid a what in this context?)
    Maybe instead "Which will you choose?" or if you must keep
    the what then perhaps "What will you choose to do?" Aid the villains?

    Also "Aid the villains" and "Save the world" don't really sound like opposing options (unless the villains
    are out to blow up the planet) since one is a side-choosing and the other is an objective.

    If you want to mention the objective maybe "Help save civilization? or bring it to it's knees?"
    Or just mention the sides to choose from (do you ever really give aid
    to villains? seems like something they would scoff at )
    with "Join the villains" + "Or aid the heroes"

    Just my hope it helps and I look forward to what you come up with next.

    Hey when people drop to free2play can they still send PM's to anyone?

    Thanks, I should clarify, one leg has multiple breaks
    the other has a sprained ankle and strained tendons.
    The latest x-rays are looking good so I won't need surgery
    or metal pins, it's mostly a waiting/rehabbing game at this point.

    Knew DD was going to post vote threads here since
    beginning of the year but I didn't know Alex was back and
    posting a sketch thread in the all access area. I'll have to go check it out.

    ~Artz gone F2P?~

    So I was away for a few months (broken legs) and upon my return I noticed it was pretty quiet in the,
    usually busy, Art section of the forums. Pageviews are still happening but not much talking.

    I'm wondering, did a bunch of people drop down to free play? Leave to try other stuff?
    Do new players even know there is a section for player made/commissioned art?

    I (and several others there) do contests from time to time and give away
    free art of the winners characters as prizes and I'm considering having another
    as soon I am better recovered but I'm wondering if there will be enough interest in that?

    My last contest had art from the talented Baquitania as the prize,
    results for it should be going up in a few days time.
    Cheers!
  7. I like the look of that too.
    Not sure how it would fit in with the
    colors/theme but if it blends in nicely I would be all for it.

    Or you could just use demoedit and
    get them all in whatever pose you want.

    Nice wallpapers and yay alliteration!
  9. Naiad... I know right?
  10. Nice work people.
    1.Tatyr (cute and made me laugh)
    2. Leaf-nin (lots of great details, like the tattered stockings, and I dig the traditional colored pencils)
    3. Furry Jackal (ET in the donut lol)

  11. So first drawing in a long while and DD, being awesome as usual,
    laid down some nice colors. *click for access to much larger version*


    If anyone feels up to the challenge the vines/thorns could use
    some color and I think Belladonna's outfit should be more purple-ish.
    Also a basic background could be added, nothing too busy that would clash with the
    stuff in the foreground but maybe some blue sky with a few clouds or some greenery could be tried.
    Cheers!
  12. Oh I know people take breaks to play other stuffz and that there are lulls or times of declining forum
    interest but now that I'm recovering I'd just as soon see the artz section a bustling hub of creativity again.
    Make it so!

  13. Ahhh grand timing mate. Welcome back H3nri, the revitalization begins!
  14. Very cute Cami.
    Don't forget teen Caemgen and of course buddy Caemgen.
  15. Ha! It looks like he tackled his own head.
    Well this will make for an awkward moment when he materializes in the Zig.

    Airheaded Vision

    That's a great interpretation of your earlier work AH, love the vibrant colors.
    Also love the additions, Amerikatt vs. Arachnos "Crab Spider" = WIN!

    That was a quick portrait of Knitwit? Nice.
  17. Dang what happened?
    More importantly lets see about bringing it back if possible.
  18. Hmm thought this was single words but okay I'll go with Lead
    which since it has a specific gravity greater than 5.0 (as
    it relates to water) is classed as a Heavy Metal.
  19. Wow.
    75 pageviews and only one other person said Happy Birthday?
    What happened did everyone drop down to free to play while I was away Sapphy?
  20. You mean the simplified cartoon style (barrel chest, skinny waist and knees,
    popeye forearms, one color, one shade, one highlight)?

    That shouldn't be difficult to reproduce with your namesake at all.
    Just about anyone with clean cartoon linework could do it I imagine.

    As for peeps here, off the top of my head Liz (syrusb) has drawn some really nice
    Gargoyles stuff in the past. MsLumina/Ferreter can draw in a style very close to that too
    (see her comic cover here). Also there's Agent Foo and Camille who I'm pretty sure are for hire.
    DD, 8Baller or Flash Rains I bet could too, though I'm not sure if they are open for commissions atm.
    Cheers!
