Where's the OP??? I wanna someone to explain this...

[/ QUOTE ]

Hehe, I'm guessing as someone else mentioned, it's one of those "You had to be there" types of things.

[/ QUOTE ]

You had to be there... and 10 years old. I weep for the future at times like these.

Holy canoli, that sucks. Surely someone can extract those files for you.

I'll show you the devil kitten.. one minute

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, yes, she is.

Cute pups.

That purple/blue/white combination looks cool. It's a fine and daring line to walk, using those colors, but I think you did it well.

I see you have as severe a case of altitis as I. (And a fondness for insect feet.) I should make my own gallery like that.

So we have a SG, and this Sg does a bit of powerleveling for PvP. Normally we only pl for people who are veterans and people who are willing to stay and participate.

Now while reading the text in these images from the chat window remember that Slushy (Toshiro/Tiny Spike), Myself (Frigid Jester), and Pompai are on Ventrillo, all the while Slushy not knowing what were doing, aside from the eccentric laughing.

I was hoping to capture the freedom of flight, or at least the individual character's moment of joy in his wings. I've been looking forward to wings for over 2 years when they were intended to be part of a winged-AT... so having them finally coming to the players is something I've long anticipated.

That's why the costume was a little less important; White Peregrine represents every hero who's wanted wings.

[/ QUOTE ]

Though I wish and wish
and try and try
I cannot fly.
I envy the birds
and their place in the sky.
But one day soon
my wish will come true
and on that day
I will fly and fly.

Marvelous!

Talk about the gamut... wow, nice.

[ QUOTE ]
yup...sometimes a picture is more than just displaying the character in question. the idea being that the viewer "knows" who is being pictured...as such seeing the actual suit design is not a priority. in this case the pose and "feeling" is.

are there better options for displaying the actual symbol and showcasing the suit? sure...but I wanted something different and something that Doug was interested in trying out.

as such, any ritiques regarding perspective on this piece fall ta me....as it was ultimately my choice. a choice by which I still stand as it is what I was looking for

that said...dont be surprised if you see another version of whiteperegrine from Dog in the not so distant future. given we have some posibilities for different posing worked up that is a step we can basically breze through......

...of course this is assuming Doug is willing to work with me again in the future ~

[/ QUOTE ]

Doug, I'm a fan. WP, the most important thing is you're happy with it. No need to justify it to me.

I like the new one better, too. Although the two shots rather remind me of D'Spayre from the Spider-man Team-Up comic from years ago. He was spooky looking, but when his true face was revealed, he looked even spookier.

That's very cool.

Thanks everyone, for the kind words.

Here's a few more exchanges between myself and White Peregrine. The biggest change was an alteration in the camera's position... from a street-level view looking up to an aerial view high above the city.

WP - first round of roughs

WP - second round of roughs

WP - costume check

[/ QUOTE ]

The second WIP is really more what I'd prefer -- a good shot of the unique costume with a bolder WP in the foreground. I think really the figure just needs to be tilted towards the viewer, with the head closer, to show off that cool design.

Plus more realistic wings.

Hm, at the risk of being branded a total buzzkill, I have to say I'm not too crazy about this piece.

I really, really like White Peregrine's costume design, as you can see it in WP's avatar. Between the angle and the lighting, you can't see it here, and I think it ought to be more prominent.

I'm not crazy about those wings, either. They just don't look right, what with the out-of-proportion enormous translucent feathers contrasting against the smaller, more realistic ones. It looks more like an oddly stylized cape than a functional pair of wings. ("Functional" being relative in a superhero context, of course, but they just don't have that elusive air of verisimilitude necessary for me to buy into a fantasy character. For me, of course.)

I am a big fan of Doug's work, but I think this piece needs to be tweaked to emphasize the cool uniqueness of White Peregrine's character.

I can't wait to see how it turned out! As soon as we get our copy, I'll scan the pages and post them.

Nevermind that Jo's got mad art skillz and that he's a nice fellow... you see this post right here? That's why he's a lucky dude. Cherish.

appeciate...like it myself. although I have some midification I need to do overall when I redraw him. incorporating parts of the Co* that I like, namely the wrapped gloves and boots.

as far as the image replace thing, not sure what ya mean there. are you referencin skins?~

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, reskinning him. I lost the bookmark with my hard drive, but there was some SG site which had a tutorial on how to do it. It only affects the image client-side, but it was cool. Just pick an image to replace with your own. As I recall, the one in the tutorial was a rarely-used symbol that the guy replaced with the Superman shield. It looked pretty impressive.

You should do the image-replace thing, because that design is cool. (As evidenced by CB's rendition of it.)

so...for multiple reason I went out to the ole local wally world and low and bhold GvE was waiting on the shelf for me. rushing home and tearing open the package like I was 7 at christmas I quickly upgraded my account. after a short session in icons, getting used to wear all the new lil costume bits hide...I logged over to my namesake whiteperegrine. I made a few changes and the following is what we find:

GvE Whiteperegrine in Justice SuperSuit

ever I am on the search to get closer to his concept look and here we have another possibility. given that the look is completely new I am undecided at this point and thought I would bring it here and let you all take a gander and share your thoughts on the matter. sooo....GvE version or my original incarnation?

Original for Whiteperegrine CoH SuperSuit

so...thoughts? questions? concerns?~

[/ QUOTE ]

The new one is definitely better. Very cool.

As for your avatar, did you replace an image file in game with that?

You did that in Paint?? Man, the degree of difficulty is immense, so while it's not perfect, you get massive bonus points for the tool. Good job!

Looks like a cel from an animated show.

Hello, and Don't worry, I'm thirteen and I know. at my age, people fall into an internetory rut. They tend to not make any sense at all.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, it's him. When you happen to be more intelligent than most of your teachers, you get a complex, methinks. And yes, he can be a jerk, he can also be very charming but he's usually just a smart-<censored>.

BTW - I'm 35, the 16 year old is the oldest of four boys. Now you know why I'm nuts.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, that's the reason! I have been wondering about that for quite some time.

I vaguely remember being 35. That was a good year, I think.

[ QUOTE ]
11+12+12 = 35. Shave a few years off that and you get my age. 31 and 3/4.

Most of the people I regularly team with are in the late 20s early 30s. I haven't met or teamed with too many people younger than 16.

So hello to Baz, Fayte and Jawa. May your gaming hours be long and your supply of caffine/soda inexhaustible!

Jeezy petes, we need another kid to equal my age.

Ok, so I have been on these forums for awhile and even though many of you know me, I would like to make a formal introduction of myself:

Hello, my names is Back Alley Scrapper, or just BAS. BAS is a BroadSword/Invulnerable Scrapper on the Victory Server. I'm a co-leader of the Circle of Friends and I have been playing for now 8 months. IRL, I am a middle school student of the age of 12. I enjoy singing, CoH/V, and Boy Scouts. (And of course long walks on the beach ) Already, in my short time here, I have realized what a great community of people we have here in this section. I'm very pleased that I stumbled across these forums one day and think very highly of you all. You are a great bunch of kind, caring people, and I just wanna' thank you. So, hello everyone and here's to a great year of art, friends, and good times.

You're 12? Seriously?

Your spelling, grammar and thought processes are superior to most people twice your age.

Let me just add to all welcomes: Welcome!
