Ironik

No clue. Why are the word balloons reversed? Is that part of it or just a mistake? Or are they looking for her, since she's glowing?

I like the look, and I see what you mean about the powerset not jiving. One of the reasons I took EM is because it matched my guy's outfit quite well.

Altitis strikes again (I really need rehab on that, but anyway), here's a Timm's image of my new character Desi Belle. She's a sonic/electric blaster.

Desi Belle - Animated style

Backstory is, she was a guitarist in a punk band until she was struck by lightning during an outdoor concert.

She's my first character on Virtue.

That is a really nice piece of art, and a wicked-cool name pun.

I think DM/WP is a good choice given the background. I used WP/EM (Energy Melee) for my most recent Tank, and I'm really enjoying that combo.

Happy B-day.

Will you now (old) school us in the ways of the funky groove?

If we can get Sparky in here to talk about his demoediting skills, you'll have a masterclass in it.

Two of Sparky's I have saved:

Eat Foot

Gone Fishing

That's a pretty good explanation of demo editing. It sometimes takes a little futzing to get it right, but if you start off with a simple shot, you can pretty easily figure out where to place characters and the camera.

Here are a couple tests I did with some of my and my friends' villains standing in Atlas Park.

Villain line-up

Same line-up, with Heavies added and camera moved back.

Then I took my hero Minotaurus and his evil doppelganger Minotaur X and let them groove together.

Hey, I just realized that I teamed with you a while back: I was Kid Hawk.

No, the tailor shops are terrible for lighting.

The best thing to do is make demorecords of all your characters, then line them up somewhere nice and set the time of day to just after noon.

You have all my best wishes, GG. Good luck!

Very cool. Didn't you do that with one of your other characters a couple years ago?

[/ QUOTE ]

A couple of YEARS ago?! Geez I know it's been hangin for a while but not that long. Nah, I built the initial model and other specifics for 8 Baller, Ipo, and Michael Angelo sometime last year and never got around to rigging/posing/placing them in a scene of any kind.

What does anyone think of this?

I tried the whole doing the horribly clashing bright colors you suggested, Ironik, but I couldn't even stand it myself, lol. I think the psyche pattern helps in making this look really busy and I'll probably add an aura when I get high enough to make the colors stand out more. And you're right about those two sprints, I'll try them out in-game.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you're on the right track, but it needs to be brighter. Psychedelic has always meant "eye-popping" to me, with bright reds, blues, greens and yellows, in swirly, twirly patterns. (That pattern has an unfortunate crotch that the wrong color combo can really trigger the NSFW police.)

I haven't scrutinized it very closely (or gone digging to find out what all the inevitable catches and qualifications are), but this looked interesting when I stumbled across it:

Vimeo HD.

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay, I tried out Vimeo today and I can't recommend it. I used a test video of 4 minutes and 42 seconds in length, about 10mb or so in size. The initial upload window said that it would take 1 hour and 28 minutes to upload. My reaction: "!!!" 20 minutes later, the upload stood at 10% and it said 1 hour and 17 minutes remaining.

Cancel upload.

The issue I've had is that the movie starts to open, but then gets hung up. I've actually walked away from the computer for 15 minutes and come back to no progress.

I just tried it again yesterday with the same result. I haven't had that problem with any other streaming site. No idea where the problem might lie.

Maybe Race was prematurely gray, like Steve Martin.

My god you guys are impressive! I feel WAY under-creative (hmmm new alt??)! Just one question tho do you get a chance to play any of em?!? Maybe look into a discounted character creation only price?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's definitely a challenge getting any single character into the higher levels. I only have one 50 after all this time, unsurprisingly. But I do have quite a few in the mid 20s to mid 30s. The best aspect of altitis is that if I get bored with one powerset, I just log in a different alt. The downside is there are some parts of the game I'm well and truly tired of.

I'd go with painfully bright colors that clash, combined with busy patterns overlaid with eye-melting auras. Based on your reg date, I'm guessing that you have Vet Badge access to the Prestige run powers. Two of those are psychedelic rainbow colors. One is a rainbow aura while another actually leaves a rainbow trail.

Edit: An excellent color combo is the brightest red with the brightest blue, in a busy pattern. The human eye can't properly focus blue light, so the red/blue combo gives the illusion that one part of the pattern is floating just above the other.

I have a question: does your friend Duane really look like Race Bannon?

Ugh, that one's awful. The whole "cartoon as sexy" thing is a bit silly, but why draw someone like they have breast implants? Do you guys actually think those are attractive in any format?
