Projectionist

Here I'm away for a while trying out that other game and you guys turn this into 'real' art forum. I like it.

When it comes to critique I can really never get enough of it. Maybe if I were at a professional level and worked for cash I would feel differently, but I doubt it. The people I've seen giving it here, like Suichiro, CristopherRobin, Battlewraith etc, have all done it with great care and the best intentions as far as I can tell. The 'credentials' of the person is not that important, I try and weigh the advice on its on merit first. While someone with training hopefully can give more advanced pointers, a simple 'that does not look right to me' can do wonders for me.

Now, giving out critique is where I fail myself. I rarely point stuff out I don't like, making me a bit of a hypocrite. Often when I type out a critique, I start to second guess myself and end up deleting it.

Anyways, if anyone of you feel like unloading a diatribe on my stuff, it's always available at dA. I promise you won't get anything but thanks.

I vote Shia, brilliantly funny as usual. Love the inclusion of the poster also.

Oh crap, sorry guys, totally forgot about this. Between working on contest prizes and being in the CO Beta with all the drama on their forums my attention span was not enough apparently. I have a WIP for the piece, I'll clean it up and post it here later.

Oh well, off to vote at least. And pay my dA sub, before everything falls apart. I blame Cryptic

Stunning. *off to +watch*

Actually the answer would have been B. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_of_the_Flat_Earth.

While your reasoning might be sound in some cases of customer support I don't think applies to the veteran rewards which I believe works as intended for the majority of the subscribers both new and old. I know for a fact I let my payment lapse when trying other games before the VR program and hasn't for even a month afterwards.

Grats to Lousy_Day. *sob* my immunity gone, I feel naked.

And obviously Juggy is evil IRL, I heard he doesn't recycle.

Hi, I'm Projectionist, currently known as Projectionist_NA since I seem to be in conflict with myself. I'm here for the the PLing and the epix... ah, who am I kidding? I'm a wannabe Foo that likes to draw peoples characters in compromising positions.

Link to my deviantArt in the sig. All critique is welcome.

My vote goes to Tacky_Tricky, that's one bad wolf, cooler than the Fonz. The tension of the change really comes through.

Thanks to Bayani for being a sport about me using his character without permission. Heh, figures I would mess something up with this entry also.

Thanks to ChristopherRobin for the detailed critique. The hands I was dissatisfied with too and would probably correct if I continue work on it digitally but LJ's uniboob I didn't notice. Now it bugs me and I usually pay attention to that area

Haha, that's one dude you don't dare say what you're thinking to. Nice work Bobby.

Happy birthday, DarkEther. Here' something other than personal groming: The Bruce Lee taunt

Hey, glad you liked it.

My favorite demos so far are Noxizmad's 'Final Illustration' and Chan's 'Dream Devourer', both are amazingly fun to watch. I just bought Brachna's 'Environment Design' so I hopefully get some inspiration to making backgrounds also in my pictures

Heeeere's Hericane's Wherrlwind

I still see the cake so I'm not too late, congratulations! Cake misuse, Shrike style.

Hehe, love to see were this is going. I blame the sucky FOV in that head piece

Cool piece Spino.

That's awesome. I want to try sculpting now!

Me too, so I offered sculpting prizes in my contest recently but everyone chose digital paintings instead

Congratulations on sweet 50.

Another advent sketch made into a more finished piece: The Masked Shrike

Since I'm sitting safe this month I thought I'd do some non-digital work: Hay Fever

Sweet piece, Lousy_Day. I love the cool light/warm shadows.

Love what you have going here, Bobby. Watch out for his right elbow, perspective seem a bit weird there.

Thanks everyone, I'm so relieved I didn't have to go into Sudden Death with Juggy, that would've been brutal.

Dang, you are all doing excellent promotional work for Paragon Studios I'll probably redo the origin stories for half my characters just to fit in ideas from here.

I'm sorry, I never intended to instigate drama by ignoring the rules and as I said before I have no problem with being disqualified. For what's it worth I agree that rules should be followed and that the use of screen shots tend to 'cheapen' the image, which is why all those images ends up in my 'scraps' section on dA.

I'll volunteer to do it next year, but my rules will most likely involve all entries REQUIRED to include at least 2 scantily clad hot chicks.

I have absolutely no problem with this either

Tartyrsauce It reminds me of old Swedish 'pilsnerfilm' (beer-movie). It's hilarious and different.

Here is my entry: The City

I realize I probably broke the rules in the second post, but the casting was half the fun of making this picture. I was also looking forward to seeing who others imagined in various roles, but alas. Anyway, if I'm disqualified so be it, no hard feelings.

Here are the arcs I had as my favorites and could just as well have been in the top ten:

<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>

dugfromthearth 92630 I Will Dance on Your Grave Good solid arc, terrific flavored dialogue.

</pre><hr />

There are a ton of other arcs that had memorable and well designed custom enemies and allies, like the Green Army Men in The Toy Box, the Matchstick Women in the arc with the same name, the SCUBA minions of Operation Undertow and the robot army in A Madman's Vengeance.

Again, thanks everyone for participating and remember: even though I didn't rate an arc 5 stars I stilled enjoyed playing each and every one. As I said I will be PMing feedback during the coming week.
