I was looking through the "Visions" section of the Supermegatopia archives, and I came across this pic by Amber from back in 2001. I wanted to show y'all this because, frankly, it kicks ass.

*Groans* I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm 99% sure I don't want to know. I'm somewhat familiar with SMT, and can hazard guesses...
Back to topic: Looks cool! :boogie
I knew she drew the cast quite well...
Yeah I was on SMT Blue just the other day.
SMT blue RARELY updates anymore...
AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEE!
OLD ART! :yuck

And still just as good :D
P/S: I'm not familiar with SMT, so may I ask who's that red-haired lady in the foreground? :rolleyes
That would be "Crushed", Kommisar.
Think "target" and you'll be about right. She gets crushed pretty much every episode. Or killed. Or knifed. Or something.
only it's all D&D, so she ends up, starkers, in the Temple Of Infinite Lives, and has to go home to find something to wear...
Ohh topic but wow
population explosion there Learch
No, no. You die, you get revived at the temple. Once per death.
Standard tactic of recovering from an outbreak of deadness. Most games have something like that, otherwise you have to start up a new character, and, gee, that's no fun.
Plus Crushed is cute. :-)
I rather team up with a pinless handgrenade than Crushed xD
Because you'd rather be maimed yourself?
It's cause naked women just don't do anything for him.

Haw, that's nothin'. I got stuff so
old classic she wasn't even putting dates on 'em yet! :)
1500 unique images so far, not counting the wallpaper wars or DMFA/AS strips. I spent a couple weeks searching Google and the Internet Archive for this stuff. Quite a bit of it isn't on her sites anymore, or never was. I even have her long-dead VCL comments. Missing maybe 10 pics for that.
And I have another 50 images that may or may not be hers. They look like her style to me but there are no signatures. Anyone care to ID 'em?
Who else hoards MabArt? I'd like to trade stashes but I dunno how much of this stuff falls under the Do Not Distribute category.
Yes
Ms Mrs Amber, I like your art that much. All of it, old and new. Aren't you glad I stalk images instead of people? :)
Quote from: Tapewolf on October 29, 2006, 04:09:02 PMI prefer the term 'classic'..
agreed! amber's art has definitly improved, but her past artwork still looks awesome... :D

You're my hero. All I really have that's special is the original edition of #551 and a couple of doodles that showed up in the forum like the Gay-For-Abel logo, and a few of the Abel-war images that I'm not sure are in the archive.

I've even managed to lose BoxPron. *sigh* did you get that there?

There are at least 10 images from various Wars missing from the archive. I'll submit 'em to Darkmoon if he's interested in adding them.
'fraid I haven't kept original (I assume you mean pre-corrected?) comics, like May's missing nose color and such.

I have nothing with that filename. I remember seeing some Taski art with box pron though.

As in, it might be DNP. I know
I wouldn't want some of the stuff I drew a year ago up on some frickin' board. It was a completely different kind of art. If you can even call it that...
Anyway, it's her closet, and
her choice whether she wants to pull out her old skeletons...

it's pretty much clear the style is a LOT different. I'll agree that her old style was really cool, but she did a lot of flaws she doesn't aymore and her coloring was a lot less detailed still I wished I could do that back in 2001 :<
Piffle. Amber's been awesome from day one, whether or not the art itself didn't show it.
Even though. Implying that Amber didn't improve over the years isn't exactly nice, Aridas. :<
As for Llearch:
You mean this one?
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Tiger_T/etc/Box_Sexx0rz.gif)
Amber posted it back HERE (http://nice.purrsia.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=79;t=001871;p=43#001071) on the old forum.
It isn't there anymore, but there I was able to salvage the filename (Box_Sexx0rz.gif) and hunt it down on my HD.
;) :3
What is with people on this forum and taking things the wrong way? He wasn't implying she hadn't improved, just that her old stuff was good too. Hell, five years from now she is gonna whine about stuff current in DMFA, so does that make the present works anything less? Certainly didn't stop donations, or wont. Still the same stuff, just from a different time.

Oh hon thats not what I ment I was referring to the monkies in your box... At the time I posted there was a massive amount of tails stiking out there.
*giggles*
I like Crushed even if there are to many naked girls... All SMT art has to many naked girls for my taste but it's still cool
Though I did come up with My own SMT inspired team of superheros. My sis said she'd draw them but she never did .
*pouts*

Okay, a bit of a misunderstanding there. The only images I planned to hand to Darkmoon are the Wallpaper War images not already in the archives. Which I've done before, with Amber's permission.
As for all these other images I have, I'd
like to trade stashes with other MabArt hoarders. But since I don't know what Amber considers Do Not Distribute, I hadn't planned on sending any of it to anyone until I get clarification from her.
I'd still like to send these unknowns to someone (preferably to Amber) to find out which of 'em are actually hers.

Buy glasses / lenses / get eye surgery / stop being blind / look at your screen / do not put bananas in your eyes. Ambers art has improved significantly over the years. Better shading, crisper lineart, colored lines, more shiney, etc.
Quote from: Aridas Soulfire on October 29, 2006, 02:43:14 PM
Because you'd rather be maimed yourself?
Or because standing next to Crushed during a meteor-shower / lightning storm / gardening exhibit / stamp collectors convention / shower / etc. will likely destroy you along with her during whatever disaster she attracts. There's a reason she is called "Crushed"...
Also, the ressurection thing works only for heroes, so unless you go around ransacking tombs / graves / decripit mansions / haunted castles / evil lairs, you will stay dead.
Technically Aridas is right. Her new art isn't so much different from her old art as it is better; minor tweaks to style and abilities that are not a dramatic change in and of themselves, but combined enhance image quality. The base style seems essentially the same to me.
And I am thoroughly frightened by BoxPr0n.

Nope
My Heros were original... well animeish knock offs realy. Four gay male superheros with magical armour. I called them the Flaming Knights.... They rode into battle on powerful steeds (four super strong non-anthro horses, who wear a strange saddle contraptions that hold the knights on there backs. they are also rather snarky and sarcastic)
There was a Huge lion in pink armor, he was realy rather girly but super strong
A rabbit, in purple armour with super speed and reflexes
An angsty rat with multiple percings in black and red armour he can control shadows and fire
and a Wolf in blue armour with a magical battle axe and a brillient tactician
I have a supermegatopia char but shes way too extreme for most
Bleh... I used to Wiz on the SMT Muck as Lord Carrion. It was great fun until the twinks invaded and I had to sweep my temple /inner sanctum/ daily from couples. :/
Pity though, I had fun too.
Tried to do a little MUCKing about, didn't really get anywhere. In any case, Coke the unlucky shapeshifter would have probably fit best, prone to getting flattened every now and then by the occasional falling chunks of building or larger than life heroines (as he would hope).
I like the site if they put more of Elephant giri or Hyper Hippo in the strip I get into it. But the site is cool regradless, and the Amber old art its very awesome she has improved over the years and her style stayed the same but improved regardless. Amber has establised herself as a very talented artist and comic queen to boot in the strips.
