Really nice. I'd lose the cape, but that's just me.

But what will you use to wipe the BBQ sauce from your face and hands?

Ooh, nice costume!

[ QUOTE ]
My only criticism would be that in terms of color scheme, it's actually quite common.

[/ QUOTE ]

Perhaps. I always enjoy seeing costumes that make good use of light colors, it seems to take more work than darkity-dark costumes.

/agree

This one churned up while demo editing. It's pretty much art in itself despite being a screenshot. I have it posted elsewhere, but figured why not submit it

My angel Aedora, I'm guessing a summer month?

I know I'm not adding anything to the thread by saying this but....That is an awesome screenie!!

Now back to your regular programs already in progress.

[/ QUOTE ]
Shame it doesn't actually show off the costume though, which kind of defeats the purpose of posting it in a request thread.

I think I'm going to toss in Alex's Pyromindi as the second cameo, both as it's appropriate side-by-side next to Mel and Alex frankly doesn't get enough giftart for the amount he has given out.

heh I just had a thought (stolen from larissa somewhat), Turbo wouldn't cover herself with a towel but with ice instead lol.

That's pretty awesome, the only thing I can think of to criticize is the gold parts of the breather mask merging into the blast shield. Might be better to have that blue color instead.

We were joking in the SoA forum that Arbiter sands has to be that one arbiter that all the other arbiters make fun of. Funny thing is that Ravenstorm and Sands appear to be one in the same almost...

At the time of this message, it had already been broughten. Thank you.

LMAO You want some too? I'll take both of you on.

Now now there is a perfectly good reason why Gideon got December, it has to have a Christmas tree in it. January usually has ice storms anyways.

[/ QUOTE ]
But then the bombs I put in all your xmas presents will prevent you from even seeing January Ice Storms...

Hah. You tempt me with my one fatal weakness. Truely the best villain move. Yes, I think that layout is something that can be forged into something workable. Depending on who you get, it could be an exquisite piece.

As for Graver, while I love his art dearly, Graver is not really appropriate for a pinup artist. He's more of a mood artist and much better at capturing certain kinds of pieces, especially ones that are meant to tell a story. For some hot wet babes in the onsen, I don't doubt he could do a good job, but he's not likely to make them lush and full of 'healthy bounce.' It's not a slight against him, it's just the limit of his current style.

[/ QUOTE ]
That's good placement there, however moving Turbo back to the edge of the spring so she is looking at Kite's backside might be more effective in showing everyone's faces. Still have plenty of room to toss in a Mel cameo and maybe another in the rightside of the back ground too, which is very nice.

btw I love the expressions you put on Turbo and Sarix, and the reaver pose also gave me a good laugh.

Wierd. I replied to this thread offering Light-Speed as a month, and offering to contribute a bit of art... but my post seems to have disappeared.

Have you filled all the months yet?

Also doesn't graver already have queue that's plenty full?

I'm still liking Reiq's style best for this piece and the price is still within reason for what I'm asking for in quality. Of course I still have to see if he'll accept the offer...

Player Event Resource Council

aka a bunch of volunteers that (under the auspices of Ex Libris I believe) put together various events and activities to keep us all amused.

[/ QUOTE ]
which I guess just leaves the question of "why should I care?"

What is P.E.R.C. and why should I care?

I'm thinking of going with Reiq on this one probably, his style seems to be dead on for a piece like this, and I frankly don't mind the expense of it. My only worry is how big the boobs are in most of his pieces and how that might effect the piece. frankly I just would really like to get the idea a bit more fine tuned before actually contacting anyone for a commission.

So it should probably be planned out roughly like this? With the small dots being in the background and less detailed.

Since they are all villains what do you think about making it have some Arachnos theme to the setting with maybe some spiderlings as little sake waiters? I think it's easier and safer to just stick with the tradition hot spring idea, but thought I would just toss the idea out there.

Turbo-Ski for december!

This is why I posted it first here, so I could also file off the rough edges to the idea.

[ QUOTE ]
The more detailed the characters and scene is, the harder it becomes to squeeze it all into a single piece that's still pleasing to the eye. I can't figure out how to reconcile 4 different characters, all in different spots doing different things yet interacting with each other, into a pic where you can actually see them all well. I think you're gonna have to give up parts of the idea, or make due with squeezing some of them together in creative ways.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well Reaver is merely background material at best. Sarix, Turbo, and Kite are the active members of the scene and thusly will require the most detail.

[ QUOTE ]

If you don't mind one of them being unseen, due to having their back turned towards the camera, then that's much more easily done. Also, if you can keep Turbo and Sarix mostly covered by the water, then it becomes easier again. This really sounds more suited to being primarily a Kite pinup with added chars and details.

[/ QUOTE ]
The Kite pinup idea sounds good as well, I also don't mind Sarix being less detailed in the background.

another way to stage it would be to have Turbo and Sarix in the foreground siting side-by-side in the spring and have Kite crouching directly behind Turbo and Reaver frozen in the background. Alternatively you could also have Red Kite entering the spring in between the two.

[ QUOTE ]
Ask Graver you know he is good when it comes down to putting scenes together.

[/ QUOTE ]
but graver is more specialized towards great serious scenes, particularly horror. Also his particular art style really isn't appropriate for this kind of light-hearted and sexy theme.

Anyone who knows anyone that can do this concept effectively please post them here (btw money is no issue on this piece either)

Scene:
Turbo and Sarix are nude in the hot spring chatting away casually after they had already frozen the overprotective and curious Project Reaver in a block of ice outside of the water. Scene occurs when Red Kite walks in wearing only a bath robe and an delightfully wicked grin on her face. Turbo becomes pale and is shocked to see her nemesis/admirer/stalker and covers her nudity in panic. Sarix is curiously turning her head to see what the problem is and Reaver is of course still frozen in a fixed position.



other details:
- I would prefer for the detailed nudity (nipples and genitals) to just happen to be covered by arms, steam, towels, hair, or anything really that suits the purpose.
- they are bathing during daylight
- Turbo-Ski is still wearing her pigtails even in the hot spring. The style of them can be different though if you want.
- Reaver should be frozen in a defensive "Oh crap, what have I done!?!" kind of pose.
- Sarix's horns should be a light purple in color and the tips of her fingers are pointy like monster's but still resemble a human's somewhat.
- Reaver should be in full costume since this is still the part of the overall story when his true personality is still sleeping and he lacks a lot of common sense (like how you don't go bathing in your clothes even if they are waterproof)
