A few days ago, in this topic (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php/topic,4126.msg176016.html#msg176016), I said that I wanted draw Daniel and Abel starring as, accordingly, Jotaro Kujo and Dio Brando from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. And now I finally managed to draw that! However, I am but a learner, and my art was known to cause some of my friends severe eye damage, so wear some protective goggles before watching... I don't want to hurt someone's eyes with my fanart... :paranoid
So, I proudly present you this drawings that I have made!
First, there is Abel Brando! (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/AbelBrando1.png) I think he turned out pretty well, even though he looks somewhat more like Brando than Abel...
Second, there is a coloured version of Abel Brando! (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/AbelBrando2.png) Over nine thousand hours in MS Paint, but I think it was worth the efforts...
And, finally, Daniel Joestar! (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/DanielJoestar1.png) I don't like how he came out, so, hopefully, I'll make a new version of this picture in the future. This guy looks neither like Daniel, nor like Jotaro, and even Jotaro's trademark pose ("Yare-yare, daze") is messed up.
Anyway, I'll draw some more stuff soon. It is going to be either a picture of SuperKria (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php/topic,4126.msg176135.html#msg176135), or some of my original characters (probably, Ren Gaulen himself).

Fa'Lina as The World?..
This is madness!! And yet this is so awesome... And she might have some time control magic as well! As for Star Platinum, that would
have to be Fi, as it was mentioned in the Meme topic (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php/topic,4126.msg176016.html#msg176016). However, he was apparently renamed into Stellar Charcoal by Daniel, poor thing...
By the way, I also had an idea to "transform" Daniel into Kenshiro from Hokuto no Ken. I don't know where it came from, but I just could not help imagining him morphing his wing tentacles into two additional pairs of fists and then going all "Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken" on his opponent. :U I need to lay off of manga and anime, I know... I doubt that I will be able to draw it anytime soon, either... :<

Thank you. In fact, most of my friends simply don't like "furry" art. A lot.
And Abel Brando still looks more like Dio from my point of view! Then again, that is not a bad thing. Well, unless you happen to be Daniel Joestar... >:3
Then it would be a pretty bad thing (for you)! Janus would agree with me on that!
Saying these are not good is like saying water is not wet.
Your friends must not be very artistic.
The colored one of abel looks very nice,even more impressive is the fact you colored in paint.
Rejoice!! I have drawn some more pictures. This time I'm posting pictures of one of my original characters. This time it will be Ren Gaulen. He originates from the "Shades of Grey", a sci-fi universe that I made up. Ren was born on the low-tech planet of Kirindor that was situated right outside the borders of the mighty United Terran Star Federation. Due to some certain circumstances (which almost caused the apocalypse on his homeworld) he was plunged into the unknown and unforgiving world that was beyond his own planet. Ren possesses some unusual powers, which soon drew the attention of the Asheronian Holy Order to him. After that, this young knight errant became an official Daemonslayer, traveling from planet to planet, sending nether beasts back to Hell and slaying the altlings that dared to follow the dark path. His trusty sword Ithorin and his squire Jayce (whom I'll draw later :3) help him with this difficult mission.
Here is a black and white picture of Ren. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/RenGaulena1.png)
And here is a coloured version. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/RenGaulena2.png)
By the way, altling means basically the same thing as Creature in DMFA. Only in the "Shades of Grey" they are often the hunted, not the hunters.
Awesome as always.
Have you tried shading much? there are places where you have lines that would look better with shadows instead, especially the muscle definition.
Very nice. I can see I'll have to pay more attention to your artwork than I have been up to now.
My one criticism is the armour design. In practical terms it leaves a lot to be desired, e.g. the arms are completely unprotected. As a fashion accessory it has a lot going for it, though :3

Ren wears an armored suit made of "active fiber". It is normally supposed to have sleeves, but Ren had them removed. This "active fiber" is great at stopping bullets, instantly getting thicker and harder at the point of impact, it can protect against simple melee weapons (but vibro-blades and phase-blades still easily cut through it) and can quickly redistribute the energy, thus giving some protection against lasers, ion weapons and such stuff. However, Ren wears this armour mostly because it won't be damaged (or, rather, torn apart) when he goes "full power". And it also looks cool on him.
As for the "full power Ren", I've just finished another picture of him.
Ren in his Awakened form. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/RenGaulenb1.png) Fear him as he goes slightly mad with Power.
A few words about his wings. Their feathers are composed of Nether matter and look as if they are made of light. Some of the feathers are not even attached to the wings, but rather hover in the air somewhere around. Normally the wings are soft and fluffy, aside from the primary feathers, which are completely immaterial most of the time (they are visible, but they pass right through most objects). Therefore, while the wings look huge, they are very light and don't get in the way. Ren materializes them completely only when they are needed. And he uses the wings for combat, not for flight (he can simply levitate). By the way, those rings around his body are projecting a forcefield around Ren. They are not some decorative "halos". They are very useful halos! :U

No kidding. He looked kind of creepy in the last picture, with those eyes and the sour expression.
This is really 'Run away!' material though :3
The wings turned out nicely. A bit ragged towards the bottom, but the 'elbow' at the top near his head works well.
You know, if you added a cigarette and a bandanna... ;)
This stuff actually looks pretty nice. You have an interesting style.
Thats awesome. I like the halo.
The gun looks a bit slender. Fully automatic handguns tend to be a little beefier.
your drawings look actually good. But I think Ren armor's color scheme doesn't contrast well with his fur and so it looks like he's half-naked

Unlike usual. ;)
I agree that your Abel is better than Dan, but part of that may be just the colour, or lack thereof. Abel is a lot easier to identify due to the spots, and so looks more like himself.
Ren kinda looks like Dr. Ink when he's about to have an appointment with a patient...
... pity the patient, who shall never be seen again. :<
Nicely evil-looking. You should draw Charline sometime. ;)
Ah, I have not posted anything here for a while... But now I have drawn something that I just have to post...
Abel, as seen by daydreaming Jyrras. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/GayforAbel.png)
I want to quote Dr. Ink here: "Gay. Very gay. So very gay." Also, Daniel in this picture must be representing that part of me that is not gay for Abel. And Jyrras... well, he represents the rest of me. Stupid sexy Abel... Affecting me like that... Well, even a knight of the Holy Order can be gay for Abel! :3
Hopefully, this picture will put an end to the artist's block I've been suffering for the whole week. To tell the truth, it's the first time ever I've drawn something like that! :3
That is hilarious. I guess Dan isn't at the Nothing-Phases-A-'Cubi stage yet. :3
As for being gay for abel... Well, I'm not. I mean, I'd love to go drinking with him, but I'm not gay for him. Those of us you who are, there's always #960 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_690.php).
Obligatory constructive comment: There's a lot of white space here. I think you could have made the overall image a lot smaller with better compostion/layout/arrangement/whatever/etc. Maybe if Abel were lying sideways.
Oh, I'm torn. The part of me that writes Daryil is going like Jyrras and the rest of me is going like Dan.
I have drawn a picture of Abel last time, so now it's Daniel's turn. However, when I was drawing Dan, I got a little carried away. Not that it was a bad thing...
Anyway, I proudly present Daniel Ti'Fiona as the Prince of Persia (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/DanielTiFiona-WarriorWithincol.png) (as in "Prince of Persia - Warrior Within" >:3)! He seems to be affected by the "Shades of grey", too. Makes me wonder what would Dark Pegasus do if Daniel actually turned into the "Assassin Prince" (as I call that guy)... >:]
...
My shading does not look very good, but I hope my techniques will improve over time...
I always thought Dan looks kind of cool when he's evil, but that is one person I would not want to meet alone at any time, let alone after dark. Actually I'm not sure I'd want to meet him with someone else either.
I think that's one of the few times a picture has actually creeped me out....
Is that his clan mark on the medallion there? If so, nice touch. I love his facial expression, too.
The wing anatomy kinda throws me off.
As for shading, the only place it looks off to me is on the "Skirt". Everywhere else, especially on the neck and around the armpits, they add volume nicely. On the skirt, it looks like you just followed the lines you put down.
Very nice work overall. That's a great facial expression, and his pose comes across very strongly.
Some more original art from yours truly. This time it is characters from a story based in the world of DMFA that I am slowly writing, "A Wish and a Falling Star". The story seems to be to raw to be posted yet, though.
Anyway, the first character is Allen Farlight (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/AllenFarlightbw.png). He is an incubus who was brought up among Beings. His mother, who was a succubus herself, sent Allen to SAIA when he was seventeen, but he turned out to be very far from a good student. He was a dreamer, an adventureseeker who always had his head in the clouds. In some ways Allen is similar to Daniel, but he never really went adventuring. He likes to carry around a sword, but he is a lousy swordsman. However, Samantha taught him how to fight using only one's arms, legs and wing tendrils. Al is also quite good at controlling the Thunder element.
The second one is Samantha Dar'Imoen (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/SamanthaDarImoenbw.png) herself. She is a succubus, however she usually keeps both her back wings and her head wings hidden. Her family was slaughtered by Sebastian Cruz, her former lover, and Sam herself was killed by him but then brought back to life at the Academy. She is not undead, because when Sebastian killed her he somehow bound her soul to her dead body (so when her body was healed at the Academy, the soul was returned into it), but Seb literally left a hole in her soul, permanently severing Sam from her clan and making her unable to emanate any emotions (and even have any real emotions, with the exception of rage that sometimes overcame her during battles). When she healed, Sam started to train and create a combat technique that would allow her to beat Sebastian's powers. Actually, her technique is to wrap her morphed wings around her arms like some kind of organic armour with razor sharp claws for fingers and sword-like blades growing out of forearms. Sam is not talkative and she looks somewhat distracted or bored most of the time. She is very different from your regular cubi, and some people even mistake her for a Being or at least some other kind of Creature than cubi.
And finally - Sebastian Cruz (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/SebastianCruzbw.png). Beware - the picture contains implied violence! He was originally an angel Creature, but one day he encountered a Nether daemon, a Soul Devourer, to be precise, and it fused with Seb, slowly driving him completely insane over the next several months. The symbiont gave Seb some very unusual powers, including a fearsome Soulcleaver - an astral blade that cuts souls. Seb became some sort of a super-predator that was feeding on other predators. He hunted Creatures, killed them and devoured their souls. And his favourite prey were cubi. While Sebastian became insane, he retained all of his intelligence and cunning, which made him extremely dangerous. By the way, if you wonder what is Seb holding in his left hand - it is a head wing. And the spike things around his right arm represent a "blast" spell that Seb uses to destroy the bodies of his victims. If you ever watched "FullMetal Alchemist", think of Scar's technique.
Really like the sebastian one,he has the "you will will die slowly"look,as always they all look very nice,I would not mind seeing samantha's armor technique.

In some ways Allen is similar to Daniel, but he never really went adventuring. He likes to carry around a sword, but he is a lousy swordsman. However, Samantha taught him how to fight using only one's arms, legs and wing tendrils.
Yes, I see the similarity. And it's an interesting picture because I think it's the first time I've seen you draw someone in a cheerful mood :3
The others are good too, although I think you already know my feelings about soul-slaying :rolleyes
As you said before, there is an interesting parallel between Cruz and Johan Cross, the difference being with Cruz that he actually did it, whereas Cross simply used his reputation to harvest all that tasty fear.

Allen is some kind of a canine - it's hard to tell what he really is. He is closest to a German shepherd. Samantha is supposed to be a collie - but it is really hard to tell. :< And as for Sebastian - he is a wolf.

No, it is his "You're next" look. Seb is not a kind of a murderer who would play with his victims - he kills very fast and
very messy.
And as for the bio-armor technique - here it is! (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/SamanthaDarImoen1bw.png) Samantha makes her wing tendrils wrap around her arm and then fuses them with the arm, creating a thick but flexible shell on the outside and enhancing the muscle tissue so that she can tear apart steel armour with her claws. As for the blade, it is composed of very dense organic material vibrating at a very high frequency and additionally enveloped in an energy field which can negate the effects of Sebastian's psi-blade (which is basically a force field in shape of a blade that can cut almost anything) and even his Soulcleaver (which is usually generated inside a psi-blade).
I think I'll draw some more of the characters from "A Wish and a Falling Star" later.

Okay, then, critique time - the ears are wrong for the collie - in fact I can't really see them.
With your normal collie they come out the top and often flop over forwards, like this:
http://www.kennels.co.uk/Pastoral/RoughCollie.htm
With a Border they just stick up like a wolf:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Border_Collie_600.jpg
(The previous owners of my house had a Border - they must have left them alone or something because they ate bits of the kitchen unit. I'll have to get the collie-flap in the backdoor removed too...)
With Allen, the muzzle is much too short for most kinds of dog and certainly for an Alsatian - they're long, like a wolf or the Border. This design would work well on a feline, though.
Meh... Have not posted any pictures here for a month... I almost forgot that I had an art thread here. Hope it will be fine if I revive it by posting something new here.
...Like a picture of a pair of Terran Furies. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/TerranFuriessmall1.png) Aren't they hot? Yes, they are! >:3
Don't be disturbed by the following text; Furies belong to the universe of the "Shades of Grey", which is somewhat inspired by "Warhammer 40K". The universe of the "SoG" belongs to me.
"Furies are the elite among the elite of Terran military. They are genetically engineered humans born and bred for a sole purpose - war. They are physically superior to any regular human; they are equipped with the best weapons and armour that the UTSF's armourers can offer. They know no fear, mercy or hesitation. They live to fight. They are instruments of war in form of beautiful women rather than human beings. They are always at the spearhead of any assault against the Enemies of Mankind, along with the mighty Wraths, fighting across the Galaxy against abominable mutants, treacherous aliens and innumerable horrors from Beyond. With the sword and the flame they will pave the way into the future for the Children of Terra..."
It is supposed to be written in the pamphlets handed to regular Terran grunts so that they would venerate the Furies and worship them like some goddesses of war, following them even to a certain death.
Furies are artificially created, grown in the laboratories at the Olympus Temple on Mars. They all are females in appearance, but they lack reproductive organs, so they can be considered sexless. There is more nanomachinery in their bodies than human flesh, as some say - and this statement is not so much of an exaggeration. Also, they have Zenfarus crystals implanted in their bodies, providing them with nearly limitless amount of energy, so that they can fight for a week without stopping (it is not an exaggeration at all, because Furies really had to fight for a whole week against the hordes of insectoid Kzel-Usul during one of the planetary battles of the Second Migration). The armour they wear can regenerate, just like their own bodies, and is powered by the same crystal. In fact, when Fury wears her armour, it pretty much becomes her second skin.
In this picture the Fury on the left is armed with a Grand cleaver - a sword forged from nearly indestructible Neo Damascus, that has a phase field generator inside the blade. The sword itself is almost completely dull, but when the phase field is turned on, it will cut most know materials like hot knife cuts butter. No normal human would be able to even lift this sword, but for a Fury it is not all that heavy. The Fury on the right is holding an "Atrocity" G17-W microwave cannon, also nicknamed "Bio-Blaster" in the military. It can fry most of the protein-based lifeforms in seconds, but can be used against machines as well.
While Furies are perfect warriors, they are not "mindless machines of destruction that cannot feel or think for themselves", as some people of the UTSF think. Furies can't function as a part of human society, but within the military they pretty much have a society of their own. They do have feelings, wishes and dreams, but due to their mental conditioning they always put their duty before anything else.
Furies even can be cute at times! The one on the right has "Goodbye Kitty" written on her gun, for example (it can be kind of hard to read those tiny letters), and a picture of said "Kitty", wielding a machete and an assault rifle... :sweatdrop Isn't that adorable? :animesweat
Fear the wall of text. It frightens even me, and I am the one who wrote it. I'll draw more of the Furies and their companions - Wraths - later. I will need to draw a Fury without her helmet to demonstrate that they are not effeminate androids...
Well, the armour design is good. What does creep me out is the idea of purpose-bred humans, to say nothing of the fact that so much firepower is supposedly necessary.
**EDIT**
On reflection, I'm not convinced about the sword - unless it's made of carbon-fibre it's going to be too heavy to carry. Even if the armour itself is powered, I'd have though the sword is going to be too massive to wield effectively. And if it is carbon-fibre, it's likely to be too light.
I need to post here once in a while... So, here is a new picture of Ren. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Duality1bw.png) In fact, there are even two Rens in here. One "Good" Ren, and one "Evil" Ren. However, I'll leave it to you to decide which one is Good, and which one is Evil. Just remember that looks can be deceiving... By the way, the "Evil" Ren (whichever one he is >:3) is actually Ren's replica, created in the Genesis Forge with a purpose of killing real Ren. This replica's mind is rather unstable, and his powers are even more so, as the daemon Prince Azriel, who created him, wanted Ren 2.0 to be a mockery of real Ren, a perversion of all what Ren stood for. Why? Mostly because Azri is an evil bugger who like to mess with people's minds and make them suffer and despair. What else could be expected from a daemon Prince, anyway? :3
I'll try colouring this picture later, and fixing Ren's wings which were messed up by my scanner later. I am really not looking forward to colouring it in MS Paint, like I did with my other coloured pictures, so I'll have to learn how to use GIMP. And by the way, the ground is supposed to be cowered with blood, if you wonder.

Whose blood?
I'm kind of curious about what evil Ren's arm is doing there - is that the point of a sword straight at the viewer? Also, it's nice to see Ren in a good mood. (At least I hope he's in a good mood, since the idea of him standing in a pool of blood with a trippy grin on his face is something I don't want to think about too hard)
It'll be cool to see it coloured.
Quote from: Tapewolf on April 15, 2008, 08:16:59 PM
Whose blood?
Beats me, actually.. My guess would be it is the blood of "Evil" Ren's victims. Or, maybe, they are facing against each other in Hell, since Ren
can travel there (via the Hell's Gate). As for the arm of the Ren on the right - he
is pointing at the viewer with the sword. They both are holding identical swords - Ren's enchanted sword, Ithorin, was replicated too. By the way, I forgot to mention that they are actually supposed to be facing each other - I wonder what kind of a dialogue might be taking place between those two?... >:3
Ren on the left: "Lower your weapon. There is no meaning in this fight. Together we will change this world for the better! You should understand it, for in the end, you
are the same as me."
Ren on the right: "I am going to start changing this world for the better right
now, by erasing you from existence
!! There can be only one Ren - me."
I'm somewhat confused about which is good and which is evil. Ren on the left is at least happy, even if it's happy because he's on a murderous rampage. Ren on the right, well it looks like he'd kill me for kicks and then try to pass my corpse off as a demon for the bounty. Or kill a couple of dozen other people too just to be sure of getting his target. Moral ambiguity can be such fun...
I think that whichever one is the good one and which is the evil one is supposed to be either The Twist or The Reveal. I would love a full story out of this, if one doesn't already exist or isn't in the works.
I really don't know which one I think is good and which one is bad. In fact, I think it might be more a shades of grey thing-neither are truly good or fully bad! :U
(And by the way, I am saying I don't want to know who's good/bad)

Ren is not morally ambiguous. He made a vow to stop the powers of the Netherworld from invading the world of humans. He stands for what he believes in, and fights to protect those dear to him. While he does not normally show mercy to his enemies, when he is not busy cleaving and smiting Evil Ren is actually nice and friendly, if a bit reserved. And he is
not a mercenary. He is an official Daemonslayer of the Holy Order of Asheron, so his duty is to protect the innocents. As for the bad guys, as paladin Jericho Riley likes to say: "Let 'em burn.. >:]"

In fact there
is a story in the works. But at the beginning of the story Ren was nothing like he is now: he was open, romantic, naive and... well, not very smart. A typical fantasy hero. :3 Now he is a bit harsh, a bit sombre, devoid of his former naivety, but still a little romantic at heart. Well, if he does not have to go daemonslaying for a couple weeks or so he usually snaps out of his "moody paladin" routine and partially reverts to his former personality. Oh, and in the story Ren fought his "evil twin"
before he became that "moody paladin", which makes the "Duality" picture not strictly canonical...

Now I'll have to give the answer!! And the answer is...
sore wa himitsu desu! :P ("This is a secret!" - a catch phrase of some character from some anime called "Slayers Next" or something :3) Well, actually I have pretty much answered the question above, anyway.
*Picks his lip*
If I might make a suggestion... All your characters seem to have the same attitude and and body type. Very slender, effeminate, and full of badass. I'm not one to tell and artist where to take their work, but have you thought about varying things a bit?
I envy your ability to ornament your characters, by the way. They're full of detail.
Wow. Haven't posted here for a while... :sweatdrop
So, here's a new picture, Faust Koch and Arelana Ilgador, the Master of Ice and the Mistress of Fire (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/IceandFire1.png), walking peacefully... somewhere. I'll finish the background later. Both characters are from the world of the "Shades of Grey".
They both are members of the Holy Order of Asheron, but while Faust is a paladin and a daemonslayer, Arelana's status in the Order is harder to define, since she is a former High Priestess of Valbazarad, the Shakharrian god of Fire. She is usually just considered a daemonslayer too. Actually, by all rights these to should have been mortal enemies. Faust, the Master of Ice, belonged to one of the many pseudo-daemon clans inhabiting the Realm of Hades, while the Templars of Valbazarad, of whom Arelana was the leader for some time, were Masters of Fire and often had blood of the (pseudo) angels in their veins. However, these two met only after they left the Realm of Hades for the Blazing Universe, where their pasts were irrelevant.
Faust is almost always calm and collected, with an air of superiority about him. Some fellow paladins and knights joke that he has a spell of Aura of Cool from Ice magic permanently active. Faust does not talk much, but what he says is worth listening to. He is very polite, even in battle. However, people tend to find him very distant and introverted. There is hardly a single person who could be considered Faust's friend. Even his relations with Arelana are not clear. There are some dark and sinister secrets hidden in his past. He would not discuss it with anyone.
There is an interesting thing about Faust: while he specialises in Ice magic, he also wields an enchanted sword imbued with Thunder magic. Also, his hands and forearms are covered with weird "tattoos" which move when he uses magic. He also seems to have so-called Devil Eyes (additional pupils forming around his real one), but he activates them only if he has to fight a True daemon. Also, he can summon a shivar, an Ice Elemental. As many other powerful pseudo-daemons, Faust has very fast regeneration and can reattach severed body parts, making them grow back on. In fact, his aura is so powerful that Faust can survive decapitation or having his brains blown out. However, he needs energy to heal, so he will die if he is killed continuously, which will eventually deplete his energy reserves.
Arelana, who used to live on the planet Shakharr in the Realm of Hades, is a half-pseudo-angel. She is also one of Valbazarad's Chosen, which gives her the power to transform into a Phoenix and freely summon the ifrits to do her biddings (she uses them to do shopping :3; just kidding). She has a fiery temperament and a very short fuse. It can't be helped, though, since it is a common problem of all of Valbazarad's Chosen. Because of this she has to put considerable mental efforts into staying calm. She also suffers from chronic insomnia. However, in Faust's presence she feels strangely at ease. That was the original reason why she decided to be with him. Nowadays, however, there is something more than convenience that tells her to be with the Master of Ice.
Arelana is a pretty good spellcaster, using several Spheres of magic. In battle she generates a Flame or a Heat sword (the former looking like its name implies, the latter resembling light sabres from "Star Wars"), summons ifrits (she has enough power to summon and control five ifrits at once), sets everything around her on fire with sheer willpower and, if the opponent is extra-tough, transforms into a Phoenix and smites her enemy with the power of overkill. Also, she can transform only partially, becoming something like an ifrit herself - a creature with a body made of solid fire. Being a Valbazarad's Chosen Arelana is inhumanly strong and tough herself, though she is not as hard to kill as Faust, unless she partially or fully transforms. Also, even if killed, she can exchange her life for the life of the Phoenix, coming back to life. The large medallion on her neck is so-called Heart of Phoenix. If she has to perform that revival technique, the stone in the medallion will shatter, and she'll have to go back to Shakharr and beg her Lord to grant her a new one.
Nice, though all that background information in one lump was a lot to digest. What is Koch? He looks kind of lupine, though with short ears. (And very surly)
Faust is a wolf. Possibly an Arctic wolf (since he specialises in Ice magic :P). And he is supposed to be sort of smiling. Actually, most of the time he has a rather grave or gloomy expression on his face. He simply isn't good at smiling. :<
More original characters of mine make their appearance! :D However, this time they are drawn in a rather peculiar and rather "cartoonish" way. It was inspired by a recent DMFA strip (yeah, by this one :3) (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_907.php).
So far I have only two of my characters done: Ren Gaulen (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Chibi-RenColour.png), whom you probably know already ( :3) and Adrian Rose (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Chibi-AdrianColour.png), who makes his first appearance in my art thread. Ren and Adrian used to be mortal enemies for a while, but later they became comrades, fighting against the daemon Prince Azriel. Actually, when Ren and Adrian were still children, they grew together almost like twin brothers. However, now they hardly have anything in common at all. While Ren is a noble and selfless warrior, a self-fashioned Sword That Cleaves Darkness, Adrian is nothing short of a mercenary, fighting for money and fame rather than for any ideals. A smart dressed, a lady's man, a spendthrift and a general a$$hole - all of it is he. Adrian is also nothing short of a genius - his mind was affected by nether energies giving him mental capabilities beyond those of any regular humans. However, the same energies have driven Adrian slightly insane and gave him a distinct sadistic streak.
By the way, while Ren is more of a close combat specialist, Adrian would rather attack his opponents from distance. He is a very powerful and skilful sorcerer, an expert in several schools and spheres of magic, an alchemist and even a technomancer.
I'm not a great fan of chibis so I'll leave it to others to discuss its artistic merit. However it's interesting that their fur colourings are equal and opposite. Does that mean anything perchance, or was it coincidence/laziness? :3

He-he-he.. There is a good reason for that. >:3 First of all I must mention that Ren is known as the White Knight of Gaia, while Adrian - as the Black Knight of Gaia. And it was not them who made up these titles. Their past incarnations, Telim and Gieren respectively, were given their powers and had their appearances slightly altered by Amaterasu some seven hundred years before Ren and Adrian were born. Originally they were supposed to be the two guardians of a demi-goddess Brialy - one was Light and the other was Shadow. Later they had to fight daemon Prince Azriel and were all killed (even though Telim managed to strike the daemon down). Only to be reborn centuries later as Ren, Adrian and Tiare (who will be showing up next). By the way, there are at least three more members of the so-called Shining Brigade (aside from Ren, Adrian and Tiare).
I'd leave out the fingers on the chibi. It's visually distracting, and chibis usually have less detail in general.
As I have promised, here's Tiare Alistair Brisgard (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Chibi-TiareColour.png)! While she looks cute, fluffy and harmless, she is arguably the most powerful member of the Shining Brigade, and its leader outside of battle (during battles Ren takes the leading role). Tiare is a very kind and caring, if a bit mischievous, person; however, she should not be taken lightly due to her apotheosized powers.
Now I'm curious. What's the book? She's got it clipped to her belt for quick access, like the spellbook in Ultima 7 (which I have admittedly been playing far too much lately).
I notice that all your ink work has really jagged edges, and no aliasing. I poked at one of the images in Photoshop, tried a gaussan blur, selection/feather/fill, and a few other things, but what worked best was just scaling the image down by 50%. You could on the image at double size and shrink the image down when you're done.

You are correct. :3 This
is a spellbook. And those earrings, bracelets and necklace (and the belt buckle, too) are used to store and sometimes channel magical energy, so that Tiare would be able to cast especially powerful spells or create a nearly impenetrable force field.
...And the three remaining members of the Shining Brigade is here! They are Lyndon de Vries (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Chibi-LyndonColour.png), a swordsman (he seems to have a hangover), Itasha Folken (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Chibi-ItashaColour.png), a ninja, and Jayce Hetzer (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Chibi-Jayce.png), a sharpshooter.
What are the species? My guess is: Lyndon -> coyote, Itasha -> cheetah (?), Jayce -> no idea
If Itasha is a cheetah, there are a few things that could do with tweaking. The tail pattern isn't quite right, and cheetahs have very distinctive face markings which again, could do with some tuning.
Well, it's nearly impossible to tell what species are they from these "chibified" pictures, but you were pretty close. :3 Lyndon is actually a wolf dog, Itasha is supposed to be a leopard (a tiger/leopard, to be more precise) and Jayce is a ferret.
Woo!! Another chibified character coming up! This time it is Raiden, a genetically engineered super-soldier and a captain of the elite military group - the Thunderfists. And he is totally
For the Commonwealth! (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Chibi-RaidenFTCColour.png) :3
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Chibi-RaidenFTCColour.png)
The Commonwealth of Gerio-Goran, to be exact.
Like the armour design, but the commonwealth symbol is disturbing, in a fascistic sort of way.
I forgot to mention: that is the symbol of the Thunderfists, not the Commonwealth. :3
And now for something a bit different. A picture of another one of my characters,
Riona Rylendt (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Chibi-RionaColour.png), also known as Rio the Terrible (just kidding).
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Chibi-RionaColour.png)
A captain of a mysterious spaceship "Tiamat" and a freelance bounty hunter, Rio travels across the Universe in search of worthy adversaries and bizarre adventures (or, rather, worthy adversaries and bizarre adventures manage to find her wherever she goes).
And one more picture that I have drawn for
Keaton the Black Jackal (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Chibi-Keaton1Colour.png). :3

And yes, I had a lot of fun designing her outfit. Rio is wearing a bulletproof jacket made of "active fibre" and decorated with some pieces of metal armour (they do nothing :3), but her gauntlets and boots are actually useful in battle, since they can stop even a spell-blade, while stuff like high-frequency blades bounce right off of them. Also, while they are not present in the picture, Rio's weapons of choice are a katana made of Syrydan adamantium and a big friggin' revolver with a "
Techno-Magical Ammo Replicator" (actually, that thing is called simply Ammo Replication Device; a "TMAR" thing is a reference to "Serious Sam").

Then I'll be the second. >:3 I proudly present you a chibified...
Jakob Pettersohn (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Chibi-Jakob2Colour.png)!
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Chibi-Jakob2Colour.png)
...I'm having too much fun with drawing these chibies.. >:3 I hope this one won't make Tape cross.. :3
Oh god those chibis are adorable! :U I'm still absolutely overjoyed with how Keaton turned out. I approve wholeheartedly that you used the same outfit as in the birthday picture. And I love the background with my logo. BWEE~ <3 Still, I've done most of my gushing through PM. Either way... >:3
Thank youuuu!
~Keaton the Black Jackal
Oh my..So cute yet evil..I wonder what else you cooking up
...And yet another chibi! It is a second chibification of
Ren Gaulen (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Chibi-Ren1Colour.png) this time. For some reason his Asheron paladin's coat makes him look a bit like a pirate captain. :.
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Chibi-Ren1Colour.png)
Chibi-series will continue.
Hmm... I wonder if anyone remembers how Joshua Oswald was turned into a fridge in the "Project Future" out-takes? You might want to visit the "Out-takes" sections of the "Project Future" (http://www.project-future.org/) archives to understand what is going on in the following comic, or rather,
why is it going on.
The Revenge of the Fridge (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/HavesomeofthisFRIDGEsmall.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/HavesomeofthisFRIDGEsmall.png)
Apparently, Cyborg Joshua has become an Evoluder Joshua. And then he has become Joshua "Dio" Brando. :U Don't feel sorry for Ren - he had it coming. >:3
One word. Awsome xD
Fridged, its like the most awesome way to die.
beside dieing in a ball of explosive gas and juggling chainsaws.
Better Ren than me....>:3
Heheh... Love the chibies, love the fridge. XD
...chibis are ok, but the lack of noses on the furry chibis is kind of... disturbing. Makes them look like they don't have muzzles.
The fridge on the other hand is pure awesome. Can't wait to see how Ren will strike back. Because you know something like that means war.
Hi, everybody! It's Ren, and I've got a new fridge for you. >:3
The Revenge of the Fridge, Page 2 (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/RevengeoftheFridge2small.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/RevengeoftheFridge2small.png)
As you could have guessed, Ren isn't going down without a fight. He even snapped out of that "cute" form to retaliate! Meanwhile, as "Evoluder" Joshua and "Mystic" Ren prepare to do battle, Kris is seriously considering the evacuation from the base. In the next page,
the battle begins! (Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen
!)
Hmmm...Safer outside I suppose
...boy. Did I choose the right time to post or what?
Anyway, after looking up what an Evoluder (http://gaogaigar.wikia.com/wiki/Evoluder) is, I'm putting my money on Josh. Besides, the guy hardly gets his chance to shine in the comic. He secret military agent, and he is stuck playing little Timmy to Jakob. He deserves to come out on top in a combat sequence.
No offence since I know he's your avatar, but I say Ren is going to go down. ...now, what to use as collateral for the bet?
In any case, regarding the art... how did Ren trash his shirt that much for so little gain in muscle mass? And his pants... they're untouched.
Oh, and seeing the good doctor outside of his own base due to the interior conflict is a nice touch. Who is the person standing next to him, though?
So, this is what was going on in the other side of the project future building... let's hope the fight doesn't spill over and (please) cause irreparable harm to the Project future time line.... oh look an open warp aci portal large enough for two brawling furries to pass through and wreak... havoc.
Heh. Who's the person in the last panel?

Not only Joshua has (somehow) become an Evoluder, he has also harnessed (some of) the powers of
Dio Brando. Ren, however, has some powers too, and he should not be taken lightly (red eyes equal impending ass kicking).

The shirt was trashed by a sudden surge of power (note the "BAMF" in the third panel). As for his pants - they are made of "active fibre" that can easily redistribute the excess energy and even change its shape if needed (this "active fibre" is actually used by many military forces in the world of "Shades of Grey", where Ren comes from).

The person with Kris is one of my characters, Kristian Frost (who is usually called just Kriss (always spelled with double "s"), by the way :P). I'm not sure if he will do anything useful, though - he was added just to deliver his line which allowed Kris to say his "Safer" line.

Don't worry. The fight takes place on an imaginary battleground and it will not cause any actual destruction whatsoever. Not at all. Really. *unsuccessfully tries to hide some random debris*
It's a good job you didn't ask me to colour the previous strip. I'd have made the 'splat' under the fridge red and squishy... :3
And so the battle of the Fridge continues (the fridge itself has temporarily disappeared from the picture, but it has played its role already, anyway)!

(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/RevengeoftheFridge3small.png)
And with a new pane, many questions arise! Will Joshua prove that he is not comic relief? Have fridges been thrown at Ren in the past? What is stronger: Ren's Awakened form, or Joshua's Evoluder powers? Who is this mysterious person riding a motorcycle through the frozen wastes? Is it even possible for a bike to go over thick snow? And finally:
VEGETA! WHAT DOES THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT THEIR POWER LEVEL?! D:< By the way, I wonder if you know what anime and manga character that red coat belonged to, and what game that "
БЕЙ" thingie came from.
If you know the answer to the first question (about the coat), don't post it here!! It is relevant to the plot
!
Vegeta really clinches it,this is CRAZY.
crazy AWESOME.
I'm not sure but i think i know where the coat is from.
If you know where the coat came from and want to know if you are right, PM me. I don't want to spoil anything. >:3
AFAIK the inscription on the windshield transliterates to 'BEI', but that means absolutely squat to me anyway...
Nice art. It looks like you've using multiple layers to get some kind of weather effect. The rider is hardly mysterious. Unless it's a feint and it's really Lianna or someone else to throw people off.
"BEI" means "(to) hit" or "(to) punch". The character who had this word written on the glass helmet of his "space suit", however, preferred to incinerate his enemies with a flamethrower (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/TheFury.jpg). As for the rider, she is not mysterious indeed. But I needed to create some suspense. >:3

You were right, Tape. This spin-off won't be limited to six or so pages. When the revenge of the fridge is over, the Battle of the Fridge will begin. >:3 As a little sneak-peek, here's a picture related to the events of the "Battle of the Fridge".
Prepare to meet the Maker (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/PreparetomeettheMaker.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/PreparetomeettheMaker.png)
This robot, the Shin Maker (an obvious Shin Getter parody), will show up at some point. And it won't show up alone. Those people who know why Joshua is called Evoluder Josh here probably have already guessed what else will be showing up.. >:3
...I always wanted to make a super robot show parody... :3
Quote from: Ren Gaulen on June 07, 2008, 05:18:12 PM
As for the rider, she is not mysterious indeed.
Considering the fact that with that hair I was expecting Doctor Ink, I think
she is very mysterious, despite intentions.
And what in the world does Ren have against shirts anyway? Given the fact what he had left surived his first burst of power, and he still has yet to show any serious muscle gain, there is really no reason I can see for him to be shirtless in the fourth panel. Aside from artistic direction anyway.
:P
But in all honesty... are we even going to have a set when all this is done? Having a backscene parody is all well an good, but at this rate you guys are going to have to hire SMT builders to get the place repaired in time for Chapter 3 to be filmed.
I won't disclose the name of the rider yet, since some people haven't guessed who is she. :P As for the shirt, it was supposed to be disintegrating in that fourth panel, but I forgot to draw it. :< Also fanservice. :3 Then again, I'm not sure that Ren has fans yet. As for the set, Ren and Josh won't damage it - they won't have enough time to do it. They - won't... >:3 As for the repairs, I have already called in the Maker Emperor to fix everything when the battles are over.
Aaaaaaand action! The fight between Joshua and Ren finally begins for real!

...Well, who knew that they both would turn out to be total wusses?.. :animesweat Next time, we will learn who the misterious biker really is (most of you probably know it anyway), and what is happening in the other parts of the base.
...guess Evoluder Josh isn't as powerful as Robot Josh. Of course both leave Cyborg Josh in the dust.
Still, what should we expect? Ren hasn't had any screen time yet, and the last time on screen Josh had a full body of flesh he also had a gaping ab wound. Still, that does put make Josh the favored to win... assuming the two of them get a chance to come to blows again.
By the way, just out of curiousity, in the backstage backstage world of the inside of your head, is Ren fuming over you making him be beefcake to the audience? Because I know Ryan would be if I put him in a situation like that, but Ryan is Ryan and Ren is Ren. I'm just curious what type of feline the red fireball is since you appear to have a lot planned for him.
[Edit]
While normally quoting an entire large picture is undesirable, the fact my post was the first post after the new picture and the post bumped us over to a new page... I'm going to take a risk that under these circumstances it might be needed.

In all the honesty their moment of weakness was not caused by wussiness. If anyone of them was a regular human being (OK, a regular furre), the other's punch would have pulverized their skull (if you have ever seen "Fist of the North Star", you'd know it to be true >:3). Even with their powers they have nearly incapacitated each other. You could even say that they both have a splitting headache right now.
Either way, the fight isn't over yet, and our heroes are just taking a break, but the "Red Rider" is almost here, and who knows whose side will she take?

Well, considering how Ren lost his shirt for a "good" cause (a good fight is always a good reason to lose a shirt! >:]), he does not really mind. :3 In fact Ren used to lose lots of shirts (sometimes more than just shirts >:3) during his early adventures. Later he got that outfit made of "active fibre", which was much more resilient to damage. Ren does not really mind doing a bit of fanservice now and then, but he does not really care about it either.
And yes, I do have a lot planned for our red fireball.. >:3 But Joshua will be the star of this show.
So, out of interest, does this version of Josh have an organic head?
Evoluder Josh is entirely organic. Well, I am not sure if an Evoluder body is protein-based, or made up of some sort of nanomachines instead of cells, but it is similar to a human body in its structure. However, Evoluders are physically and mentally superior to regular humans - they are super-strong, can survive anything short of decapitation (Evoluder Guy from "GaoGaiGar" was stabbed through a heart with a metal blade and just shrugged it off), regenerate at an astounding rate, and have considerable psychokinetic powers which allow them to levitate, move objects and control electronic equipment with their will. They also can produce some sort of a green-coloured aura that can work as a protective shield and even allow them to survive in open space or at the ocean floor without any additional protection. To tell the truth, Evoluder powers have never been elaborated in "GaoGaiGar", so I am more or less making stuff up.
I think I just finally figured out who the person in red is. :B
Also, concerning that, >:3.
Oh, I've finally added page 4 to the archive.
As I was working on the next page of the "RotF", I decided to post some more of the concept-art. This time it is a view of Kris's base, and particularly the "K-J" hangar. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/KrissBase2.png) Unlike the "Meet the Maker" picture it is more of a piece of concept-art, so I'll just post a link to the picture. A few notes concerning the base. First of all, it hardly has anything to do with the real base from "Project Future". This base is more of a military installation, and less like a research complex. "RotF" is taking place in an alternative univerce, and Kris is working on a quite different project (Maker technology and the G-stones >:3). Those spherical objects you can see in the picture are not radar domes. They are warship class laser turrets that work as stationary anti-air and anti-ground defences. The "K-J" hangar is huge - it could house a B-52, I think. In fact, it could house several B-52's stacked on top of each other, since this hangar goes deep underground. The somewhat conical thing behind the right laser tower is a space shuttle (if you are familiar with the "BattleTech" universe, you'll probably recognize it). I actually regret sticking it in among buildings, as there seems to be no way to move it away now. Aside from flying this thing, but it will blow away the hangars in the background. :< Oh, and you are probably wondering what does "K-J" stand for. I'll answer this question now to avoid unnecessary speculations: "K-J" stands for Kaiser-Javelin. Now I'll leave you to wonder what is "Kaiser-Javelin" (because I'm evil like that). >:3
By the way, I wonder if anybody wants their characters to appear as cameos in my comic. However, if you would want your character to make such appearance, you must keep in mind that in "RotF" no-one is safe from getting in a potentially life-threatening situation (the comic is a parody, and it contains some humour, but there will be lots of action and bad guys who mean business).
Nice, though rather ill-suited to Arctic conditions, I would say. The actual base I had envisaged as mostly squat buildings, but with three or four taller buildings linked together by a two-story corridor.
Nice base. I will admit Tap is right that it isn't fully practical in an artic base sense, but it is still nice. They probably have super effective hyperspace age insulation or something to compensate. Can't say I recognize the space shuttle, but then again I never saw BattleTech... at least not the BattleTech you're talking about.

While there is always the temptation to say yes, I'm going to have to pass.
Partly because I don't think I deserve it.
Partly because I care for Ryan.
...and mostly because Ryan is sharpening a very big axe with my name on it.
Seriously, cameos like what you are offering are random things that artists do to rewards readers/friends they like. Even when the player's character is being disemboweled, the player is still going "Squeew" inside. Art is rarely a bad thing to the player no matter how many organs are lost on the character's part.
So I'd really like to say yes... but Ryan is done sharpening the axe. Bygottago!

I forgot to mention that a large portion of the base is situated underground. Also, most of the buildings you see in the picture (at least those in the background) are hangars housing some vehicles.
Hello, my dear friends! It is I, and it is time for the next instalment of the "Revenge of the Fridge"!

And now, as some of the previous questions are answered, even
more questions arise! Why was the Red Rider (you know her, don't you? :3) so nice to the nameless guard (his name is Timothy, actually)? Did this poor guard's brain crash or something? Who is our heroine looking for, and who is that Kaiko? What is threatening the future of the world? Where is Kirian and what does she have to do with anything??
Stay tuned for the next page!! :B By the way, I was planning to add a couple cameos in the next page. If nobody turns up, I'll just use some anime and video-game cameos.
Hey, nice one of Nilson. And Keaton. Everyone, in fact.
I'll add that to the archive presently. My only concern is that you may end up spoiling PF itself. Especially if Keaton shapeshifts. Yes, there are people in the readership off-forum who don't know she's a succubus...
I can send you the multilayer for Page 9 if you want to see how I put Kirian together...
Now I must go and announce Project Future 18.
**EDIT**
Fridge 5 is now in the archives.

Don't worry - she isn't going to shapeshift in this story. Phase-shift - maybe, but no shapeshifting. >:3

Well, I asked not to post the correct answer here (>:[), but I guess it doesn't matter now. So yes, she is wearing ****'s outfit. :3 In fact she even has a gun similar to ****'s (
NO Angel's arm, though - drawing this thing will kill me). >:3 However, in terms of firepower Keaton's revolver is closer to the caster gun of one Gene Starwind...
My apologies, sir. I thought the cat was out of the bag. I have edited accordingly - you may wish to do the same.
Also, I anticipate explosions. This makes me a happy Cog. :)
There will be a small (approximately the size of a grizzly) Dark Golem crashing through a wall soon. And some time later there will be a giant... well, a giant bio-mechanical replica of a certain minor character, wreaking havoc on Kris's base. But Kris has just the thing to deal with rampaging monsters of a Godzilla's size (no, not a satellite equipped with an ion cannon)... >:3

It's just that Keaton is wearing an outfit similar to the one worn by a certain anime character, and this outfit hints at the similarities between that character and the version of Keaton in this story. :3
I actually expected one of two things to happen in the second panel,they are as follows:
1.The peace sign followed by her shouted "Love and Peace!"
2.The same look except for a big freaky smile.

Really? So it is not the fact that it is Keaton that you're worried about but people leaking but who she is cosplaying as? Well that at least is kind of obvious. Certainly after the lolipop. Nobody in a red coat walks around with that kind of attitude except... well I'm not going to write it out loud.
It seems that a lot of people have guessed what character is Keaton "cosplaying" as, so I think I should warn you that Keaton will not be a cheerful and "Loev & Peace" as that character in this story. >:3
Oh my god. I can't stop laughing at the sixth and seventh panel. That is brilliant. XD Especially Keaton's dialogue in the sixth panel and chibi-lollipop-holding-Niall in the seventh panel with the little Keaton logos in the background. I love all of this.
Keaton seems to have gotten over her horrid phobia of lollipops. :B

That's not Niall - he is not present in this comic at all. :3 The guard's name is Timothy. I think he'll appear again in the future (probably only to be eaten by a Dark Golem >:3).
Will the Dark Golem call him a little lollipop?

And the next instalment of the "Revenge of the Fridge" is here! Beware, though! The plot thickens and things are starting to get scary! >:3
The Revenge of the Fridge, Page 6 (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/RevengeoftheFridge6small.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/RevengeoftheFridge6small.png)
Keaton is still looking for someone, but whom does she find instead? Why is there a Snake lurking about Kris's base (he has nothing to do with anything, honestly)? Whom is Kristian (the guy in black coat in the third panel) talking to over the cell phone? Is it healthy for mecha-panthers to eat energon? And finally:
Who is that scary person talking in scary fonts and what treats does he have for poor little Kirian (hint: it looks kinda like candy, it is called Z****r Metal, and there was a lot of this stuff in "GaoGaiGar" >:3)
? By the way, it is Zedd treating one of the panthers to some energon in the first panel. He asked me to have him in the comic talking to the panthers at some point, but it did not work out funny enough, so I went with the "feeding" idea. :3
While I've never seen it, I've read a lot about "GaoGaiGar" from it's wiki trying to figure out what you're doing, so I know what you're talking about concerning this Z[blank] Metal. Also now expecting Josh to use Heaven and Hell at some point in time during this parody.
I wonder... if you purify a being of darkness like a Warp Aci, would it return to normal or cease to exist?
So, Zedd has been recieved a cameo. Now it is only a matter or time before we find out what his entrails look like. Following the rules for minor characters, my guess is it will happen on his third appearence.
Aww, Zedd looks so cute in the first panel, playing with the mech-panther. :3
I admit, Keaton's never-changing expression made me giggle. Especially Solid Snake's appearance in the second panel. I feel it's relevant to mention I desperately want to play Guns of the Patriots, but because I dislike having to pay an insane amount of money for a PS3, I cannot. :< Actually, that's not really relevant at all but I just wanted to bitch about something. :C Off-topic, I'm curious as to who is in the third panel...
Y'know, I'm gonna start drawing Keaton with erect ears, like you do, Ren. >:3 She'd look more like a jackal that way, and I always draw her with droopy ears which don't make her look nearly as sharp.

The person tolking on the cell phone in the third panel is Kristian "Kriss" Frost (he made an appearance in the second page already). I decided to give him a bigger role. He is one of my own characters, and his name may cause a bit of confusion. He is Kris's bodyguard. Also, he is a Creature (well, it would have been strange for an Angel to have a Being as a bodyguard).

One of Ren's characters. He will also cameo in the next page of Future History. And probably in the one after that. Though I don't know if a corpse really counts as a cameo.

O lord the references... heh heh
you kill me. you kill me dead.
As I was drawing the next page of the "RotF", I decided to post some more related art. This time it is a picture of a mighty Dark Golem.
Dark Golem (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/DarkGolem1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/DarkGolem1.png)
Yes, Dark Golems are big. And they are not exactly what is normally called a golem. Rather they are some sort of bio-robots powered by the R-Cores. Dark Golems are the grunts of the Dark Riders, the Bad Guys of the story. They are immensely strong and surprisingly fast and agile for their size. They are also capable of quick regeneration, so they may suddenly come back to life even when you think that you have killed them. When in comes to offensive capabilities, aside from their sheer physical strength, sharp claws and teeth (yes, they have a nasty tendency of eating enemy personnel), Dark Golems are usually equipped with shoulder-mounted weapons like plasma burners, particle accelerators or swarm missile launchers. Also, they have jump-jets attached to their backs and hips (excellent for air-dropping them on the heads of your enemies), and rollers in their feet to move much faster over smooth terrain.
The man standing next to the Golem is one of my characters from the world of "Shades of Grey", general Reiji Hassan, the leader of a mercenary army commonly known as the "Black Wraiths". He may appear in the "Revenge of the Fridge" as one of the villains, by the way.
Is Hassan dead, or was he always that colour?
Quote from: Tapewolf on June 15, 2008, 06:19:59 PM
Is Hassan dead, or was he always that colour?
One could say that he is neither alive, nor dead (that does not make him a Schrödinger cat, though). He is technically a revenant, but with the powers of a shadow angel. I won't go into details of what a shadow angel is, and just say that Reiji is considered to be one of the deadliest men in the galaxy. Oh, and his colour was brighter originally (before his initial death).
Hello, my dear readers! The new page of the "RotF" is here!
The Revenge of the Fridge, Page 7 (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/RevengeoftheFridge7small.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/RevengeoftheFridge7small.png)
And the plot thickens even more! Who is this man in bloodstained bandages? What will become with Kirian? Does Zonder metal taste like candy?
And what the hell has just happened in the last three panels?!? A little spoiler: Josh and Ren are not dead. They aren't even wounded. But Keaton
did shoot them both.
Those three transitional panels closing in on Kirian's face are hilarious, yet adorable. Poor little Warp-Aci... :<
Also, I keep cheering whenever Keaton shows up on a comic page. Wtf is wrong with me? XD But I really am looking forward to seeing the next comic page. It almost seems as though Keaton has abandoned her soul-stealing habits in exchange for a pacifistic "love and peace" philosophy, but isn't very good at upholding it. :B
~Keaton the Black Jackal
Unless those shots were shells (and given the sound effects I'm going to guess for a "No." in that regard) I don't think bullets will work on those two. Chances are she just shot two lollipop's into their maws. Gene could shoot paint balls with his gun when needed after, after all.
And Kirian? You're a Warp Aci. Run you fool. Run!
So llllaatteee but I look so adorable Ren :3 and rest of this looks so awesome
I'm a bit surprised nobody have mentioned a very important detail in the first 1/3 of this page yet..

Well, Keaton is not exactly a pacifist in this story. It is just that there is a certain group of people that she wants to protect from another group of people. And as you will soon learn, she was not very successful so far...

Those shots technically
were enchanted, it's just that Keaton uses a regular gun, so the sound of the spell activation cannot be heard behind the sound of the shots themselves. I won't directly tell what spells she launched, but if you know what Gene shot at Aisha in the restaurant, you'll know what happened to the guys. >:3
However, the spell bullets used by Keaton originate from the world of "Shades of Grey", and are different from "Outlaw Star" caster shells. In "SoG" a spellcaster could charge even regular bullets with some magical energy right before shooting, to make such bullets (more) harmful for magical creatures. And for more complex spells there are bullets made of special materials and covered in arcane inscriptions. Also, the gun itself is enchanted with a simple spell that is used to activate spell bullets the moment they are shot. Also, there is a difference between
spell bullets and
enchanted bullets. The former bear some complex spells and work only as carriers. They usually completely disintegrate right after the shot, releasing the spell. The enchanted bullets bear very simple magical enchantments or even just a magical charge, but they do full physical damage along with additional magical damage. Also, enchanted bullets are constantly "active", so you don't need any special enchanted weapons to use them, unlike spell bullets. Enchanted bullets are
much easier to make than spell bullets, and, for instance, paladins of the Holy Order of Asheron often load machine guns with enchanted bullets when they go hunting altlings and daemons.

It's too late! Also, people (and other creatures) seem to get mesmerized by the sight of Zonder metal for some reason. They are also always look scared, as if they know what's coming. I could never understand why they acted that way in "GaoGaiGar". Sure, Penchinon was scary as hell, so he could be the reason for them freaking out..
I'm liable to miss most of the references here, but that apart from that, it's nice. I'll have to get my act together and add the missing strips to the archives.

What's with the green eyes on Josh? Or is that part of your crossovery thing?
Quote from: Tapewolf on June 17, 2008, 10:22:27 AM
What's with the green eyes on Josh? Or is that part of your crossovery thing?
It's an entirely crossoverish thing, and it is supposed to signify the rise of Evoluder powers (the greener the eyes, the more power is being released). However, the wild-looking glowy green eyes come from "Getter Robot" series, not from "GaoGaiGar" (so Joshua is now both an Evoluder Guy and Ryoma Nagare >:3; don't worry, though - Ren is Domon Kasshu (from "G Gundam") and Folka Albark from ("Super Robot Wars" video game series)). I am going to reference
a lot of different Super Robot shows in this comic.
And now it is time for even more "RotF"-related pictures. This time it is a picture of Keaton using the Maker Arsenal system.
Keaton's Maker Arsenal (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/KeatonsMakerArsenal.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/KeatonsMakerArsenal.png)
Yes, this is what Keaton wears under her coat in the comic. And her Maker Arsenal stores much more different weapons.
And they said my father and Abel was loaded with toys
*high pitched girlish squeal*
Best. Mace. EVER. <3 I hate drawing weapons most of the time ;-; So I totally envy how you drew her mace. It's just so sexy and awesome.
Actually, EVERYTHING is awesome! :U Thank you so much. :3 Oh god, and I just realized you have holographic outlines of other weapons hovering around her. THE AWESOMENESS NEVER ENDS. I'm totally at a loss of vocabulary right now, but I'll just say this: you made a rather crappy day much better for me, Ren. :3

Thank you. I actually like drawing different instruments of destruction. :3 And I can guarantee that at least the hammer, the mace and maybe one of the remaining six weapons presented in the picture will be used by Keaton during the comic. Also, machine guns, a rocket launcher and an anti-tank rifle. >:3
That, I like. As ever, I'm impressed by your ability to design clothing and armour.
What's with her eyes, though? Is she wearing goggles?

It is difficult to see owing to the black markings on her face, but her right eye is closed. Her left eye, however, is covered by an eye-patch. But Keaton
has a left eye. A
bionic left eye. It is set to aura vision, so Keaton can see any living creatures even through solid objects (but not always through other living creatures). She wears an eye-patch not to unnerve people with a lifeless glowing green eye. By the way, her left arm here is bionic too. It houses the Maker Arsenal system and a special power source.
The suit Keaton is wearing can protect her both from cold and heat, it can redirect the excess energy (giving protection from some energy weapons like lasers) and is bullet-proof. It also has a nanobit system that works as a chameleon camouflage and a forcefield generator (well, the generator itself is attached to Keaton's left hip).

Yes. Had to try drawing it, even though maces are not among my favourite weapons. :3
I've added these last two strips to the archive on Project Future.
Ren, make sure you've un-ticked "Store colour values for transparent pixels" when saving them, because these things are huge!
Talking of which it seems that my web host has not increased the disk quota (despite having taken the money for doing that), which I discovered while trying to upload these strips. Fun...
"one of us is wrong"

Now fix the link to the last page from the archive.
EDIT: this was meant as a joke.
I have decided to post more character art for "RotF". This time it is one of the bad guys, Siegfried Faradeus Nox.
Siegfried. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Siegfried1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Siegfried1.png)
As you can easily guess, Zig (as he is often called -
don't mistake for any other Zigs!) has already appeared in the comic. You will notice that his outfit is almost identical to Keaton's - there is a reason for that. Zig is a demon, by the way. His weapon looks like more like a saw than a sword.. Then again, swords tend to break often when he uses them.
So more character art! :B The next character is Kaiko Saotome, the genius inventor and engineer, and the pioneer of the Maker technology.
Kaiko Saotome. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Kaiko.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Kaiko.png)
By the way, this is not the way she used to look like. And she is
not related to Abel - her green eye is infused with the G-stone energy (I mean, the energy of the G-stone is what makes her left eye green). Also, it may be difficult to see, but her glasses are held together by duct tape. Also, I intentionally made her look similar to Jyrras, but I feel that she looks
too similar to him now.. :paranoid

Awww, I love Kaiko. She looks quite like a chipper mad scientist. :3 I like her design, too. Your character designs are really nice, Ren. I suck at designing clothing, so I totally envy your mad skillz. D:

Well, her similarity to Abel is limited to her eyes. As for the fact that she looks like a female Jyrras' clone, she was meant to be a scientist from the very beginning, but I didn't know what she should look like. Her last name is a reference to Dr. Saotome from "Getter Robot". But Dr. Saotome was a large old man, while Kaiko was supposed to be a reference to one more character, this time from "GaoGaiGar" (or, more preciesly "GaoGaiGar Final"), and look similar to that other character. And that character was (well,
looked, as it was hard to tell her age) very young and had a rather small frame. So in a spur of a moment I decided to make Kaiko look like Jyrras.
As for Zig, he was originally created as an evil alternative version of Ren. In this story, however, his interaction with Ren will be minimal, as he is supposed to be another characters "opponent of choice"..

Arnax of the Dark Rider Praetorians (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Arnax.png)

Nice characters.
Means it will be an interesting story.
Also means it is keeping less and less likely I'll give permission to use Ryan as background filler cameo. You'll have more then enough original characters soon enough.
Probably for the best. Last thing we need is for Ryan to get near any G Stone. His dominate emotion is determination. Besides, when it comes to giant mecha, I favor a Big O kind of feel.

Done. The 'first' link was stuffed too.
I apologize for the lack of the comic updates, but since I am constantly in transit between the country and the city (and I have no computer in the country), I have no time to colour the new pages (and I have a few prepared). I have put my free time to a good use, though, developing the plot of the comic and its setting. I came back for a day today, and I have drawn another character while I had some free time - to keep this thread alive. Once again it is one of the bad guys.
Aiden Vidal. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/AidenVidal1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/AidenVidal1.png)
Aiden joined the forces of the Dark Riders during the Moon War. They promised him power, and the power they gave him - he was more useful to the Dark Riders that way. However, he was defeated by Joshua when the latter became an Evoluder. Wanting to surpass Josh, Aiden implanted a pure R-Stone into his body, becoming a Deviluder. Among his powers is infinite regeneration and ability to use Maker Particles to form sharp metal blades and control them with telekinesis. Also, in the picture he is holding a humongous scalpel which he apparently have stolen from Dr Faust of "Guilty Gear" video game series. Or, maybe, he stole it from Dr Ink's collection. :3
Neat. I'll take your word for it that he's evil... he looks okay to me. Then again I guess I have a soft spot for natural dobermans...

Well, originally I was trying to draw another character, but he started to turn out looking a bit too evil for his personality, so I converted him into Aiden.
Meh.. My comic project will have to wait, I fear. I'll probably have to redo the beginning anyway (or, rather, add some pages explaining where the story is unravelling). I guess I'll just keep posting related pictures meanwhile. Like this picture of Master Arctic's mech - Akatsuki.
Orion Akatsuki. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/OrionAkatsuki1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/OrionAkatsuki1.png)
It is a heavily modified Orion close-combat mech suited both for ground and space operations. While Orions were better suited for ranged combat, Akatsuki appears to lack any ranged weapons. However, it has two high-frequency swords that can cut almost through anything (except for "bosses") and is capable to shoot plasma from the four "eyes" on its torso. As for the hair, it actually does nothing. Master Arctic decided to attach it to make his mech look more menacing and badass. By the way, the creator of Akatsuki is unknown. Master Arctic claims to have built it himself. In a cave. From scraps.
The face is really, really weird. I'm not quite sure what I'm seeing. Is that a muzzle?
It has one large eye on its "nose", two large eyes on its "temples", and four small eyes between them. So, pretty much, this thing has no face at all. :.
More robots coming in! This time it is the robot piloted by Evoluder Josh himself - J-Gar!
J-Gar. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/J-Gar1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/J-Gar1.png)
Created through the fusion of Joshua and a giant mechanical tiger Gar-Mac (well, at least the process is called "fusion", but actually Josh is transported into a sort of a quasi-space within Gar-Mac's G-Stone), J-Gar is a strong and agile bio-mechanoid meant for close combat. It was built by Kristofer, but the principle of its creation was brought by Josh himself from his trip to the Master G-Stone - the original G-Stone hidden away in the depths of space and time. Josh was transported into its quasi-space and back by his own G-Stone. There he met a man - or a spirit of a man, since it was really hard to tell in the quasi-space - who told him how to create Gar-Mac and the Regal Machines that would transform J-Gar into the supermechanoid King J-Gar. This man also taught Josh one very special combat technique that could be used only by King J-Gar.
However, even without the Regal Machines, J-Gar is a formidable combatant. His primary weapon is a high-frequency knife, summoned through the use of an abridged version of the Maker Arsenal, and he can also use standard hand-held weapons used by other mechanoids like Wraithbanes, Maulers, Orions or Valiants. Also, I think it goes without saying that J-Gar is one of a kind - in its construction Kris used the largest G-Stone found on the planet.
I like the design. I was going to say that the knife thing didn't look much cop, but then again it goes without saying that it would have some kind of secondary powers.
Without getting too technical (given that I know nothing of GGG), is this only a piloted mech, or also possessed of its own intelligence?

Well, the knife appeared as J-Gar's weapon due to several reasons. First of all, Guy Shishio, the protagonist of "GGG", had a knife as his personal weapon (but
his mech, Gai-Gar, seemed to be unarmed and mostly useless in combat), and I decided to arm Josh's mech with a knife too, since it will have to fight some large robotic enemies. And the other reason is that the story will also parody "Evangelion", and most of the Evangelions had high-frequency knives as their close combat weapons (though Unit Two also used giant halberds and axes), and J-Gar looks very much like an Evangelion.
Quote from: Tapewolf on July 07, 2008, 04:40:23 AM
Without getting too technical (given that I know nothing of GGG), is this only a piloted mech, or also possessed of its own intelligence?
Well, when Josh fuses with it, he pretty much controls J-Gar with his mine (thus becoming one with the mech), but since J-Gar is essentially transformed Gar-Mac, a mechanical tiger, it has an intelligence on its own, though this robot seems to be actually
less intelligent than Kristofer's panthers - much closer to an animal than to a human. Anyway, J-Gar can work without any pilot at all, but it will be less effective that way, since it won't use any weapons and will just attack the enemy in a most direct way. It is still possible to send him a retreat order, though. :3 By the way, when Josh fuses with J-Gar, and especially when J-Gar connects with Regal Machines, transforming into King J-Gar (actually, these machines are supposed to transform themselves into some sort of a suit of armour for J-Gar), Josh slowly starts to lose himself as his mind comes in contact with the mind of a mechanical beast, eventually going completely berserk until he disconnects from his mech. Thankfully this changes are not permanent, and he goes back to normal when he fuses out.
And here is another robot, this time piloted by Ren - Dai Raoh.
Dai Raoh. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/DaiRaoh1.png)

Dai Raoh without the faceplate. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/DaiRaoh1withoutthemask.png)
This is no ordinary mech. In fact, it is not really a mech at all, but one of the larger Dark Golems that was caprtured sometime during the Moon War and converted into a manned mechanoid. Also, it had its R-Core replaced with the G-Stone to make it controllable (or, rather, to make it impossible for the Dark Riders to control this mech). Dai Raoh was created especially for Ren and is best suited for unarmed combat. One of Dai Raoh's main weapons are large claw-like spikes on his fists. They are called Dragon Claws. Generating a special force field, a Heat Aura, they can pierce most kinds of armour. Also, Dai Raoh has Energy Canisters on his elbows, which, together with Dragon Claws, allow him to perform a special attack - Goha Kishin Ken or Roaring Machine-God Fist; he impales the target with the Claws and then sends a shockwave of heat and explosive energy into it, blowing the target apart. Dai Raoh has some other attacks, even more impressive than this one, like Kou Ken (Light Fist), which create a pair of dragon-shaped (think of Chinese dragons here) aura beasts (made of something like plasma) that charge at the target, entangling it or attacking furiously. And when all else fails, Ren can perform a sort of fusion with Dai Raoh, channelling his life energy into the mechanoid and sending it into an Overload Mode and increasing its already immense power tenfold. However, this technique is truly a last resort, since it can easily kill the pilot himslef, draining all of his life energy.
What, no comments? But I already have another mech! Now it is Keaton's mech - Anubis!
Anubis. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Anubis1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Anubis1.png)
Anubis with Keaton's emblem. :3 (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Anubis1Keaton.png)
Like Master Arctic's Akatsuki, Anubis is actually a heavily modified mass-production mech - Valiant. Unlike Akatsuki and J-Gar with Dai Raoh, Keaton's Anubis is best suited for ranged combat, though. Like Keaton herself, it utilizes the Maker Arsenal system, carrying
a lot of different weapons. However, Anubis is capable of close combat, but it is not as tough as previous mechs. However, it would be hard to get close to Anubis, since it can fly (both in atmosphere and in space), has very powerful sensors and sensor jammers, and has an additional equipment in form of the Cloak of Invisibility (if you have ever watched "Escaflowne", you'll know what I'm talking about >:3). Anubis also has some special techniques, like Arsenal Missile, where it summons a bunch of missiles and launch them at once, or Holographic Copy, which creates one or several holographic duplicates of Anubis, distracting the enemy. Also, Keaton is capable of controlling her mech remotely.
Very nice mechs you have here
Oh, now that is neat. >:3 I especially envy your ability to draw mechanical stuff and robots, because, bloody hell, that is terrific. I love the gold-and-black color scheme reminiscent of Keaton's coloration, and the jackal-esque appearance you used for the model. This looks so fantastic. ;-; And really appropriate for Keaton's design, too.
Great weapon, too. I STILL envy your mad weapon-drawing skillz.
KEATON IS CONTAGIOUS.

Thanks. :3 When I was colouring Anubis, I wanted to add more golden stripes, but it turned out to look like a wasp. :animesweat Gold-and-black is actually one of my favourite colour schemes (along with red-and-black and white-and-black), and it fits Keaton perfectly. Also, Anubis was the guardian of the dead in Ancient Egyptian mythology, and so this mech fits her even more, since Keaton will have to send some spirits that have lost their way to the afterlife..
As for the weapon, Anubis
will wield this halberd at some point. It will also use a pair of scimitars and lots of throwing spears. Firearms, however, will probably be limited to a particle accelerator (or a small hadron collider >:3) - not counting the Arsenal Missile, of course.
Well, I don't really have the other mechs like King J-Gar, Kaiser Javelin or the mechs of the bad guys ready, so I'll post pictures of some of the characters instead.
Aiden Vidal. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/AidenVidal2.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/AidenVidal2.png)
Siegfried Nox. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/SiegfriedNox1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/SiegfriedNox1.png)
Kaiko Saotome. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/KaikoSaotome1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/KaikoSaotome1.png)
Actually, I have already posted them before, but these are newer designs. Kaiko and Aiden lost their shades (though Kaiko will be wearing some sort of glasses or goggles now and then, because most scientist do that :3), Aiden also changed his outfit and got some wings, and Zig a slightly different colour scheme. A few more words about these guys.
Aiden used to be a normal guy leading a normal life, until the Dark Riders invaded Millia. When Millians started to create their Robot Army, Aiden became one of the pilots. But then the Dark Riders contacted him (through their newest Praetorian, Telos) and offered him power and immortality if he joined them. Seeing how dozens of his comrades were dying at the hands of Dark Golems and not wanting to share their fate, Aiden agreed. However, Dark Riders lost the war, and Aiden had to flee together with them(the Eye of Michael showed no mercy to the traitors). Three years later he returned as one of the Five Generals leading the new Dark Golem army. He was changed. No more was he a mortal man. The R-Core implanted into his body gave him great power and infinite regeneration, which made him virtually invincible. His orders - complete annihilation of Millia, but there is something more driving him than the will of his dark master - Aiden wants to find a man who has defeated him during the Moon War, and once again face him in battle. And the name of this man - Joshua Oswald.
Siegfried Nox was a demon serving the secret Order of the Eye of Michael. A decent guy (especially for a demon), who worked together with Keaton. Two years after the end of the war he was killed protecting professor Saotome from the assassins - only to come back a year later as an agent of the Dark Riders and one of the Five Generals. A vicious and skilled warrior, Zig relies on his brute strength and his cleaver sword in battle. After his ressurection he, too, has the power of infinite regeneration, though inferior to Aiden's. Zig also craves to meet one certain person - Keaton. More than anything else he wants her to join him - in death.
As for Kaiko, a brilliant scientist and a pioneer of Maker Technology, during her experimentation with the G-Stone she managed to transform herself into the Evoluder. But it did not save her from the Dark Riders, for whom she was the Enemy number one. However, even death obeys the leader of the Dark Riders, Lord Xanzanko, and Kaiko was brought back by his dark will - as the leader of the Five Generals. As the leader of the Five Generals, Kaiko is not likely to fight herself - she would rather observe the battles from the bridge of
Crucible - but she still has her Evoluder powers, and we should not for get that Kaiko was the creator of the Maker Arsenal - so nobody knows what tricks she might have up her sleeve..
I thought Kaiko was a guy... apart from that, good stuff. I still like Aiden, evil or no.
Very inpressive collection
So this is what you do when you're not exchanging barbs under The Arena?
In all seriousness, great stuff. I can't wait to see more. I especially want to see some of the bad guy's stuff: they always get cool toys.
And now it is time for some good guys! The reason why the Dark Riders attack planet Millia so relentlessly - Galatea 13 (or Teah, but
not Galatea the 13nth)!
Galatea 13. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Galatea.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Galatea.png)
I don't remember if I said that before, but the comic will not be taking place in the DMFA'verse (though some DMFA features like "Cubi race and Warp-Aci will be present), and Galatea is
not a Fae. She is a result of experiments in genetic engineering, a hybrid of a furre and, presumably, a specimen of an ancient Maker race (she was a thirteenth attempt which turned out to be the only successful one). While physically Galatea is about 15 years old, she is technically only about one year old, but she has the memory of her entire lost race sleeping inside her mind, and mental capabilities beyond those of any human (furre or whatever). Not only that, but she possesses the power of a G-Stone that was used in her creation. All in all she is nothing short of an ultimate life form, immortal and nearly indestructible, with a brain having processing power greater than a thousand supercomputers and a memory of an entire civilisation. But deep in heart she is still just a young girl who cannot find her place in the world and has to bear the fate of the entire Universe on her shoulders, because she is the Key for the Maker Legacy - Maker Emperor, a Machine God with so powerful it can create galaxies... or destroy them.
Also, you may notice that Teah is accompanied by a couple of odd characters. While I am not sure if they will appear in the story, I still added them. Both of them come from the universe of "Shades of Grey". The orange transparent entity is Citria, a fae (fae from "SoG" are nothing like fae from DMFA - they are much less powerful and often end up as servants to some magicians - or as
living power plants), a messenger and advisor to Tamira (another one of my characters) and the red one is Tomato - Citria's own servant who is actually a lesser fae itself. I'll do a bigger picture of them one day.

No. Aiden was just a Being before being transformed into a sort of an R-Core Evoluder, while Galateah is an artificial life form created from the genetic material of the Makers, so she might be the only representative of her race in the entire Universe (and she is fully aware of that, but still hopes to find the other Makers).
Now that I have returned I will continue posting artwork of characters and mechs for my comic project. This time it is the remaining two generals of the Dark Riders: Reiji Hassan and Ysanne Corta.
Reiji Hassan. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/ReijiHassan1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/ReijiHassan1.png)
Ysanne Corta. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/YsanneCorta1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/YsanneCorta1.png)
Reiji is a mysterious and fearsome person. He used to be one of the members of the Eye of Michael (one of the commanders, in fact), but when the Dark Golem army started to attack Millia, he was among the first ones to join the Dark Riders. Why did he turn against his own people is unknown, but under his command Dark Golem forces nearly crushed Millian Robot Army. When Master Arctic and his squad turned the tide of war, Reiji and Master Arctic became usual opponents, until Reiji was defeated during the Battle of the Crimson Crescent. Now he has returned. It seems that Reiji lives only to wage war. Anyway, he wishes to face Master Arctic in battle once again. By the way, Reiji was Aiden's and Ysanne's teacher, just like Master Arctic was Joshua's.
Ysanne was originally one of the Eye of Michael's agents, but when Reiji betrayed the Order she followed him. A child of a Demon and a mortal, she never knew her real parents. Reiji brought her up as his own daughter, but he also made her into a perfect killer who would follow any of his orders. Ysanne has no personal interests in this war, and lives only for Reiji and his cause.
Ooh... nice outfits on those two. And this stuff is getting really interesting. I can't wait to see some more!
Next time it will be the turn for the good guys. I have drawn five first villains (not counting Arnax of Lord Xan's Praetorians), so now I have to draw their five counterparts from the heroic corner (I should have done it vice versa.. :sweatdrop).
Cool. What kind of canid is Ysanne?
Quote from: Tapewolf on July 20, 2008, 02:54:35 PM
Cool. What kind of canid is Ysanne?
She is supposed to be a collie. Actually she is more of a "generic" canid, just like Ren, Zig or Reiji are "generic" felines.
And now it is time for the good guys to appear (at last :3). I'll start off with Kristofer Aussman, who seems to have been a bit neglected so far (he did not even get his mech drawn yet), and Master Arctic, whom I mentioned a few times before.
Kristofer Aussman. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/KristoferAussman1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/KristoferAussman1.png)
Master Arctic. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/MasterArctic1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/MasterArctic1.png)
Kristofer was a scientist who has been researching G-Stones for quite a while when the war broke out. Joining forces with Kaiko Saotome (and some other scientists and engineers) he created the Millian Robot Army which have defeated the forces of the Dark Riders. Or so it seemed. Kris wanted to return to his peaceful life, but the Dark Riders came back, more powerful than before. The Emergency Defence Committee has formed a task force to repel the new invasion - the G.S. Brigade, and Kris was made its commander - against his will. However, the rest of the entire planet, of his people rests in his hands, and Kris has no other choice but to lead his fellows against the forces of the Dark Riders.
Master Arctic, the Undefeated of the North (real name classified), was one of the leaders of the Eye of Michael's branch on Millia, but when the war broke out, he left the Order to lead the soldiers of Millia into battle against the Dark Golem forces (soon the entire Order joined him on the battlefield, though - except for the traitors, of course). Being the greatest commander of the Millian Robot Army, Master Arctic and his squadron almost single-handedly defeated the Dark Golem forces, their fines hour being the Battle of the Crimson Crescent, where the entire squadron sacrificed their lives to stop the humongous Giga-Golem, with Master Arctic finally taking out the monstrous machine. Though he seemed to die in the explosion, his body was never found. Now, when the shadows gather over Millia once again, Master Arctic has reappeared with a brand new mech (which he claims to have built himself from scraps in a cave), ready to protect his home world again.
Gee, I can't imagine who Master Arctic is based off of. :rolleyes
Seriously, damn. Those are some great designs. I wish I could draw like that.
By the way, Millian military uniform is supposed to be based off Atreides uniform from David Lynch's "Dune". And Master Arctic really is based from another Master, but his role in the story will be a bit different. He will still kick almost as much ass, though. >:3
Out of curiosity, about how long does it take you to draw one of these guys? It only took you a few hours to draw Dr. Jyrras here, *points left* so it's something I've kind of wanted to ask you since I started looking at your things here.

It's always different. Sometimes I manage to draw a picture like those above in less than an hour, sometimes I get distracted and it takes me much longer. Sometimes I just can't decide what exactly to draw.
And now it is time for the main three pilots of the G.S. Brigade to appear: Joshua, Keaton and Ren!
Joshua Oswald. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/JoshuaOswald1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/JoshuaOswald1.png)
Katherine Jyraneth. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/KeatonJyraneth1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/KeatonJyraneth1.png)
Ren Gaulen. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/RenGaulen1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/RenGaulen1.png)
Joshua was just an ordinary citizen of Millia before the war. When Dark Golems started to descend from the sky, Joshua was conscripted into the military service along with many other young men. Unfortunately, Millian weapons were inadequate at that time, and their losses were colossal. Joshua was mortaly wounded during one of the battles. Even though Millian medicine could save him, he would have been crippled for the rest of his life. But the fate had something different in store for Josh, as he was sent to professor Aussman, who has just started working on new weapon systems to fight Dark Golems. He converted Joshua into a cyborg with a G-Stone for a power source. Around the same time the Robot Army was created, and Joshua became one of the pilots, and a member of Master Arctic's squadron. During the Battle of the Crimson Crescent all of the squadron was wiped out, and Joshua was the only survivor. He was transferred into the G-Stone itself, or rather into the quasi-space created by all G-Stones in existence, and returned from there as an Evoluder. Later he single-handedly destroyed the core of the Dark Golem forces, thus making the Dark Riders defeat inevitable. When the war was finally won, Joshua started to work with professor Aussman, helping him with the construction of Gar-Mac. And now, as the Dark Riders threaten the world of Millia once again, Joshua is ready to fight them and stop them once and for all. But he does not know that the fate of not only Millia, or even the worlds of the White Planet is at stake. Should he and the G.S. Brigade fall, the whole universe will be at Lord Xanzanko's mercy.
Katherine, an agent of the Eye of Michael, was born on the White Planet rather than on Millia, but escaped there with her sister, Lianna, when her clan was destroyed during one of the Clan Wars dating back to the Nijoran Era. However, the Dark Rider invasion has taken away what little Keaton had left. Even Keaton's only close friends, Siegfried and Kaiko, were killed by the Dark Riders. However, when Keaton joined the newly formed G.S. Brigade, a new hope appeared in her life. As a warrior of the Eye of Michael she had sworn to protect the people of Millia with her life, but above anything else she wishes to protect her friends. But not only Zig and Kaiko were ressurected by Lord Xanzanko and made into his Generals and G.S. Brigade's enemies, but one of Xan's Praetoians, Telos, is very interested in Keaton too for some reason.
Ren, an average Demon, became a robot pilot during the Moon War. While he did not do anything outstanding like Joshua, he still participated in every major battle before the Battle of the Crimson Crescent, becoming acknowledged as one of the best pilots of the Moon War. Later he started to work for professor Aussman as one of his test-pilots. He also have undergone some genetic modifications to be able to match the power of an Evoluder. Ren and Josh became rivals for a while, with the former constantly playing pranks on the latter, and it was not unusual to see them fighting in the corridors of the base or on the drill-square. When the Dark Riders returned and the G.S. Brigade was formed, they became team-mates, with Keaton joining them a bit later, when Kristofer built Anubis for her.
Keaton... among the forces of good? Heresy!
Ooh, I like Keaton's jacket. And a character named after you who doesn't seem to be a Marty Stu? HERESY! In all seriousness, this is looking really cool.
Very nice
I think that's the first time I've seen Ren in a good mood.

Actually, after seeing The Dark Knight I started to want her to become a vigilante of justice, but then I realized that was just the hallucinogens from having all of my cinematic dreams come true infecting my mind.
Ren. GIVE ME YOUR CLOTHING DESIGNING-ABILITIES. Your outfits are wonderful. I still adore how you draw Keaton, and furthermore how you just draw in
general. I love how she looks just like a jackal. ;-; It's definitely the ears. There's just something about how you draw her which makes her look so sharp and akin to a jackal in general, whereas I just make her look like an nondescript canine. I love her eyepatch, too. Everyone else looks fantastic too - Joshua actually appears rather heroic in that picture. It's a little surprising given he's more of a "victim of circumstance" in FH, though I've probably used the wrong phrase. I like Ren's design, too. Great expression on his face.
*hoards all of Ren's art*
~Keaton the Black Jackal
Thanks everyone. :3 I have decided to draw something unrelated to my comic project for a change. And once again I draw Ren, this time his "Shades of Grey" version. And not just Ren, but Ren transformed into his Daemon form.
Ren as a Hell Knight. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/HellKnightRen.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/HellKnightRen.png)
Due to symbiotic Swarm daemons implanted into Ren's body by Azriel he can now transform into a Hell Knight. However, Azriel failed to complete Ren's conversion, so he did not loose his free will to Azriel's master, Mephistopheles. However, it led to Ren also often loosing control of his actions when he transformed. In such situations his actions were dictated by his own basic instincts and daemon's "combat programming", which often led to very..
messy results (a "bloodbath" would be a good description). Originally Ren could not even control the transformation itself, and it happened whenever he was emotionally distressed (especially when he was angered - like Hulk, I guess :3), or when he was badly hurt. Later Ren learned to launch transformation at will and even converted his daemon form into a powerful weapon, but angel Tanaris explained him that the longer he remained in his daemon form, the harder it was to change back, and Ren could even completely turn into a daemon. If that was to happen Hell would claim him as one of its own. However, Tanaris have found a way to prevent it from ever happening by turning Ren into an angel/daemon hybrid (I'll draw Ren's Angel form later - trust me, it's rather scary too >:3). However, his Daemon form still was his primary transformation, and whenever Ren got badly damaged he still automatically transformed into the Hell Knight. Even now he has troubles with controlling himself in his daemon form.
As a Hell Knight Ren is much more powerful than just his Awakened self. He can heal any wound almost instantly, and will come back together even if blown apart. The wings can be completely or partially retracted; in latter case they become a sort of an additional pair of arms. Ren can grow sharp blades from his elbows and wrists, and he has photon cannons in his palms. The red orb in his chest can create such a powerful photon blast that it can burn through a city block in a matter of seconds. Ren can move extremely fast both on ground and in air, and he is capable of short-range teleportation. Horns on his head (there are four of them - two right above his ears, and two a bit higher) work as a sensor array.
It is necessary to mention that not all Hell Knights look similarly to Ren. Ren's daemon form is based on a Knight of Mephistopheles's basic form, but regular Knights of Mephistopheles look much more robotic, like all of the daemons of Mephistopheles.

The third eye is a little overkill IMHO, but apart from that Daemon-Ren is pretty cool.
Oh wow, that is awesome. Great design and artwork, Ren! :boogie The wings and the expression are really impressive, but then again, the whole appearance of the demon is just fantastic due to the excellent, sinister design. Ren's body markings are pretty cool too - I'm going to assume that they changed with the rest of his form, since he didn't have some of those in his original design.
Ironically, I was listening to The Dark Knight soundtrack when I first saw this picture. Specifically, the track "And I Thought My Jokes Were Bad." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XgZTcDv8Aw)

Either that, or One-Winged Angel, certainly. And I know that Ren isn't evil and that OWA is considered the hall-mark of evil, but that form is creepy enough (and the loss of control as well) to warrant the song.
Daemon Ren's theme song should be "Down With the Sickness" by Disturbed, actually (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9TXMhnhsBs). :3 Though I will probably have to draw him in his "berserker mode" to prove it.

Yes, his usual markings transform too when he transforms into his daemon form.

Well, that song certainly sounds different when Weird Al does a polka version of it. That's actually got a nice sound... I may need to add that to my music collection. And that does make sense for your character, especially with the Akira scenes mixed in.

I know he's your character and all, but wouldn't it make a little sense if at least some of his body markings carried over from one form to the other. As it is, the completely different markings kind of suggest that two entities are at work here, rather than one entity with two sides. That sounds kind of weird.
I shall call him Ren Kazama and it shall be good... I don't know why but his Daemon form reminds me of Devil Jin. It's pretty cool man. I like your work. Very detailed.
Also I've always thought this (http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/s/sunna10037/powerstruggle327561.html) (can't link a video with that song in it, work won't allow video sites and I didn't bring my laptop today) would make a good song for someone who's given in to their more primal/darker sides to win.

No, no, you got it wrong. His markings don't change completely, they just kinda extend and connect with each other.

Thanks. :3 Why Ren Kazama and who is Devil Jin, though?
Jin Kazama of the Tekken series. Jin is currently possesed and has an alternate form (well, two actually), Devil Jin.

And now for more members of the G.S. Brigade. G.S. Brigade is a large military organization, and there are more people aside from robot pilots in it.
Kristian Frost. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/KristianFrost1.png)

(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/SydneyKerr1.png)
Dr. Malyka Ka'rith. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/MalykaKarith2.png)

(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/AghataSuzurin1.png)
Kristian Frost used to be an assassin in the times before the war. However, at some point he was captured by the Eye of Michael, and they gave him a choice - either he joins them or they execute him for his crimes. Kristian chose to join. Now, as the Watcher of the Eye, he started to protect important people from assassins. A year prior to the invasion he was made Kristofer Aussman's bodyguard. Kristian seems to be completely loyal to the Order, so there is no doubt that he would give his life to protect Kristofer, but he usually acts cold and distant with people, and just blindly follows orders. However, he seems to have befriended some of the soldiers on Aussman's base, and even learned to pilot a Wraithbane mechanoid.
There is not much to say about Sydney. She joined the army as a communication officer when the war begun, and became a major by the end of the Moon War. Professor Aussman asked her to work for him at his Arctic base, where he gathered some of the best pilots and officers. She was to become one of the bridge crew of the Kaiser Javelin space cruiser Kris was building. When the G.S. Brigade was formed, she became Kristofer's right hand woman. There also has been something going on between her and Nilson Aussman since she started to work at Aussman's base.
Dr. Malyka "Ink" Ka'Rith was not born neither on Millia or even on the White Planet, but on Nijora, the original homeworld of Millians from which they had to flee 2.5 thousand years ago. Even back then, when Nijora was still habitable, he was already known as a great doctor and scientist. He continued his work on the White Planet, but newly formed Cubi Clans consisting mostly of young Cubi, constantly fought with each other in meaningless Clan Wars (angering the Eye of Michael to no end by that, but that's a completely different story), and each clan wanted to get such a powerful Cubi as Malyka on their side. Getting tired of it, Malyka moved to recently colonized Millia, where a medical specialist like himself could find a lot of work and some new challenges. At that time he became really interested in genetic engineering; for some time he even tried to recreate the Chimerid race, that went completely extinct in the Nijora Catastrophe, but he did not succeed (he managed to create a lot of sentient Chimeras, though, but most of them died from the old age). After the Moon war professor Aussman, looking for a good geneticist to aid him with his "Galatea Project", asked Dr. Ka'Rith for help. Aside from trying to create a viable Chimera based on the Maker genetic material (Galatea 13 was the first and the only successful one), Malyka also worked as the doctor on the base. When the second Dark Rider invasion begun, it was his job to put the brave pilots of the G.S. Brigade back together each time they got mauled by the Dark Golems or their derivatives.
Aghata Suzurin is a young Succubus from the only real Cubi Clan that resides on Millia. Her Clan was more or less spared by the Moon War, and it plade a prominent role in the restoration of the planet after the war. Aghata, who was always interested in medecine, looked for a good and interesting work, and when she learned that a famous Incubus doctor doing some medical researches was looking for a Cubi assistant, she could not pass such an opportunity. Unfortunately for her, "Galatea Project" did not have much to do with medicine, and some of the earlier "failed" Galateas probably gave poor Aghata nightmares for the next century. However, Aghata also worked in the base's hospital. While she is rather shy (and nervous due to participation in the "Galatea Project"), and poses herself as "just a nurse", she is actually a competent medical specialist (otherwise Dr. Ka'Rith would not have taken her as his assistant).
I'm not sure I can handle the idea of Ink in a 'good' role, though I suppose it would give a sense of balance against what Turnsky just did with him. Did he really agree to that? The likeness is spot-on though.
Sydney is an interesting one, though. I've never heard of that name in a female context, and to be blunt, she doesn't look particularly female in her rendition either (though Kristian does, for some reason). I suspect that for Sydney, it's the ribbons interfering with the chest contours.
In any case, you've put an impressive amount of detail in their backgrounds.

Yes, I asked Dr. Ink for permission to use his character. I wanted to have a recognizable and charismatic medical officer as a member of the team. Also, evil doctors are cool - at least when they are evil
competent doctors. :3 And the idea of Dr. Ink being also a geneticist with almost unlimited resources and authority is enough to send a chill down one's spine. >:3
As for Ink being in the "Good Guys Camp", look at it like that - Lord Xanzanko, the leader of the Dark Riders, is absolutely Evil and all of his minions are blindly loyal to him. There is no way Ink would join him and give up his free will, so he sides with Xan's enemies, who just happen to be the good guys. >:3

Well, there was a girl named Sydney in "Command&Conquer: Renegade". :3 As for her appearance, she is not really curvy, and the uniform more or less conceals those curves she has. She is in the team for her skills, not her looks. :P As for Kristian, he is supposed to look slightly effeminate anyway.

Yes, that makes sense. I remember when I created a party in
Eye of the Beholder II consisting wholly of evil characters (IIRC it consisted of Mussolini, Satan, Batlin and Saruman).
My brother questioned this. "If they're that evil, why are they fighting Dran? Why don't they join him?"
The answer came some years later when I put together a Chaotic Evil team based on the UK Conservative Party - they are so evil that they want to kill Dran
and take his place.

And now it is time for the Big Bad to appear, and when I say Big, I don't exaggerate. >:3 Servant of the Divine Emperor, Lord Xanzanko of the Dark Riders!
Lord Xanzanko. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/LordXanzanko1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/LordXanzanko1.png)
Xanzanko, the leader of the Sixth Fleet of the Dark Riders, is probably one of the most powerful servants of the Divine Emperor. End when his master sent him to recover the Legacy of the Makers - the Maker Emperor Construct - Xan saw an opportunity to become the Divine Emperor himself. In a galaxy far away from his master's domain, in the space outside of the space (well, in quasi-space :3), where the Legacy of the Makers was hidden, he set up his base. But while Xan had found the Maker Emperor itself, he still lacked the Key to activate and control the machine. The Key, a set of control genes, was stolen by the rebels of the Akai race. They fled from Xan's forces, but their ship was damaged and they crashed on Millia, where their cargo, those control genes, were recovered by Millian scientists and finally ended up in professor Aussman's possession. These genes were used to create Galatea. But Xan learned about Galatea's existence with the help of one of his Praetorians, Telos. However, he was not in a hurry to capture her, instead wanting to play with Millians, sending his Dark Golems to ravage their world. We can only guess what he has in store for our heroes...
By the way, any questions and comments will be greatly appreciated. :3

Actually, I have no idea. :animesweat I did not have any clear concept of what Xan should look like aside from him being some sort of a mechanical dragon. So I just started doodling to see what might come out.
This came out. :3
Hmm, I don't have any comments about the design, but I'm interested in the backstory. Given that his head is proportionally quite small, is it fair to say that he's more powerful than he is intelligent?
Also, the Akai race? You might want to think of a new name for that, because Akai are still around (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akai).

His head is not small. Rather, his body is big. Xan is a dragon, after all. :3 There is tiny Galatea's figure hovering in front of Xan (just to avoid any confusion, Teah is about 160 centimetres tall). And he is as intelligent as he is powerful (and he has enough power to turn an Earth-like planet into a scorched rock devoid of life in a matter of minutes).

Meh. I knew it sounded familiar. I'll change it into Akay or Hakkai. :C
Dang... I wish I were as prolific in my drawing as you. I draw so slow. XD
While I was away I needed something to do not to die from boredom, so I started working on a new story. It will be set in my techno-fantasy universe and will revolve around one of my less known character, Raiden. It is set in a sci-fi world of the Federation of United Terran Stars. Raiden, an artificially created enkidu (a furre canine) is meant to become a member of an elite anti-terrorist task force member "Crisis". However, alond with dealing with the terrorists he has to deal with other stuff. For once he is an anthro dog living among humans. And there seem to be some secrets buried in his past, something that his creators are hiding from him. I decided to draw sketches of some characters from this story too. I'll post pictures of Raiden himself later, because I wanted to draw one of the bad guys (or, rather, girls) first.
Judith. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/JudithoftheFuries.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/JudithoftheFuries.png)
Judith is a Fury - an artificially created warrior of Terra. Furies were created to fight the hordes of demons from the Realm of Karid that invaded the planets of the Federation. They are both potent psychers and are highly resistant to magic. Most of the Furies were absolutely loyal to the Federation, but some of them got sick of never-ending battles and fled from it. And some went rogue and turned against their own creators. Judith was one of the latter. Her reasons for betrayal and her goals are unknown, but currently she is working with the "Shadow Walkers" crime syndicate. When Judith went rogue, she took only her powered armour and her enchanted sword with her. However, even with it she is so dangerous that it would take another Fury or even a Wrath to deal with.
Interesting, and as usual, impressive armour design. One question: When you say 'artificially created', do you mean that she's a human clone, a genetically-modified human, or a robotic construct?
**EDIT**
Shading. I didn't notice the shading. One day I'll be able to do decent shading... one day...
Frig.

Actually, I want to be able to draw like that. Frig, I'd settle for being able to draw at all!

Well, Furies undergo extensive nano augmentation (think "Deus Ex"), and the Terran scientists use the Atlantean DNA to create them. In the world of "SoG"Terrans are considered to be somewhat of the Atlantean descendants. Technically she is a genetically modified human cyborg.

Sorry, but you can't have it. It is a Fury Armour, so only Furies may wear it. And all Furies are female. ..Well, actually, there is a way.. :. But you won't like it. >:3
While I was discussing Judith with Zedd, he got a very good idea for another Fury character, and we decided that I should draw her.
Core of the Furies. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/CoreoftheFuries12.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/CoreoftheFuries12.png)
Even genetically engineered super soldiers may have hearts.
Quote from: ZeddCore was one the youngest Furies created in the group, yet she was disclosed to be erased due to her DNA records being found as almost irregular, but her sisters stood up for her and convinced the commanders that she could prove herself worthy to exist. She graduated with flying colours short to speak and fought bravely as the one who could handle the hardest enemies some of her other sisters could not.
Core, together with her sisters, was in the midst of one of her missions on a planet that was being raided by vile demons from the Realm of Karid. Most of the inhabitants of the colony were slaughtered, but she managed to save a girl named Len. Len's parents were among those killed by the raiders, and feeling sorry for the orphaned child, Core took the girl with her and adopted her.
It is important to point out that Core's mutation not only affected her skin colour, but also made her larger then the rest of the Furies (who are rather tall to begin with).
Another awesome character, another awesome suit of armor, and a cute little girl to boot. Ren, you do it again!

The runes? They
do nothing augment the overall badassery of the Fury. When you cut an alien bug two times your own size in half with just one swing of a sword, looking like you are just swatting a fly, and your weapon glows with an eerie colour - that is just badass. However, the sword
is enchanted - Terran Technomancers are rare, but they know their job well, and their enchanted blades can easily disrupt any magic, be it defensive or offensive. Also, the sword is made of a special ultra-tough alloy and has a phase field generator, so it cuts through steel, plastic, kevlar, flesh and bone as easy as through butter.

I think your coloring and inks are fine, but you seem to go pretty light on the shading. You don't have much definiton to the image, which hurts readability.
Her neck looks a bit long, but I'll chalk that up to your style. the breasts on the armor look kind of high, not much room for the collar bone (Unless the armor on the trapezeus (Sp?) muscle is, like, paper thin.)
Your facial expressions are always spot on, by the way.
As I promised before, I am posting pictures of the main character of a story I am currently working on, Raiden.
Raiden in Nova armour. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/RaidenNovaArmour.png)

Raiden in civilian clothes (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/RaidenCasualStyle.png) and Raiden in the underwear (to show his colouring (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/RaidenUnderwear.png).
This Raiden is actually Raiden 2.0, a replica of the original Raiden (OG Raiden, to avoid any confusion). OG Raiden himself was created on planet Gerio-Goran. Its inhabitants, a race of anthro canines, were constantly at war with each other, fighting for the control of the Yggdrasil Construct that was discovered in the Arctic regions of the planet and bore some highly advanced alien technologies in it. One of the factions, the Soloan Empire, took control over the Yggdrasil at some point and used its secrets to create the elite group of genetically engineered warriors – the Thunderfists. OG Raiden was one of them. He was one of the youngest, but he also was the strongest of them. At first OG Raiden was a nice guy, but never-ending war eventually turned him into a heartless killing machine. At some point he was even nicknamed the God of War.
To prevent the destruction of their world, all other nations of Gerio-Goran united and formed the Alliance to fight the Empire. After a short but bloody war the Empire fell. The Yggdrasil was destroyed so it won't cause any more bloodshed. OG Raides himself was killed during the battle for the capitol of the Empire by the leader of the off-world mercenaries – general Reiji Hassan.
However, his body and all of his biometric, tactical and other data was preserved by the Alliance and hidden in the secret storage. A couple of years later a group of mercenaries from the Federation of United Terran Stars hired by the Ares Arms Industries corporation and led by a former Thunderfists' officer Sylvia Bron infiltrated this storage and stole the data and genetic samples. They were used by another corporation, OmniBioTech, to create a replica of Raiden for the AAI. Raiden 2.0 retained the personality of the original, but lacked his memories which made OG Raiden that killing machine I mentioned. New Raiden (just Raiden from now on) was created to become a member of an elite anti-terrorist task force "Crisis". However, he was the one of the very few enkidu in this organization, and all of his colleagues were humans (apparently, it is not easy for an anthro canine to live in the world of humans). Raiden's operator and direct commander, Cassandra Nigel, treated him as some kind of her pet (in a friendly, but annoying way). Also, Raiden wanted to learn about his former incarnation – something his superiors would not allow him to do. And, aside from it all, someone else raided that secret storage on Gerio-Goran after Sylvia's group.
If anybody is interested, I can give some information about Raiden's armour, weapons and other equipment, and about his team mate - a transforming robot Axl Jet (he transforms into a very large motorcycle; I'll try drawing him later).
And another badass suit of powered armor. And this time it's something that I can wear (with a little modification)! Hah!
Seriously, awesome look. I wouldn't mind hearing a little more about his equipment.
Nice work on the armour. A couple of questions:
1. What happens to his ears? It doesn't look like they fit in the helmet.
2. Similarly, his muzzle also seems a little short for a canine. That's good if all he gets is a helmet designed for humans, but it's a little unusual in canines unless they've been bred that way. That may indeed be the case, but I've always wanted to see what a helmet would look like for a regular dog with a more wolf-like muzzle.
3. The tail-guard thing is interesting. I'd have thought he'd be wearing one in light armour mode as well, though... accidentally sitting on his tail is going to suck normally... sitting on it in armour is liable to hurt :B
**EDIT**
I'll check out the others at home. Don't want something with 'underwear' in it appearing on the logs...
**EDIT EDIT**
Regarding his memories, did Raiden lose everything (like full-blown amnesia), or just the last 5 years or something?

1. What happens to his ears will remain a mystery for the most people (including Raiden and myself :3).
2. The inhabitants of Gerio-Goran evolved in such a way that their muzzles got shorter. Also, the perspective makes his muzzle look shorter (but it is supposed to be rather short).
3. The standard Nova armour is actually soft for the most part, so sitting on a tail in it won't hurt much more than sitting on it in casual clothes.
Regarding his memories, don't forget that
this Raiden is a clone of the original one. He does not have any memories of the original at all. More over, he was created as an adult, with some basic mental programming so that he would be able to "function properly" (do basic stuff any normal adult can do). From his original Raiden retained only his open, friendly and slightly naive personality (original Raiden was like that before the war twisted him). However, he has inherited a shard of original's spirit, which sometimes gives Raiden nightmares, and sometimes causes him to go berserk in battle.
Now, as I promised, a few words about Raiden's equipment. First of all, Raiden is a cyborg with a wide array of nano-augmentations. Heightened strength and resistance to damage, faster reflexes and better reflexes better senses are an obvious result of such modification, but Raiden also have such things as an ability to remotely operate electronic devices, thermal vision and the Arsenal system. The latter is the most interesting. Arsenal system generates some sort of a sub-space pocket of limited size, where something may be stored. Actually, this system, developed by the military, was called Arsenal because one could quite literally carry an entire arsenal of weapons in it (the whole name of this system is Arsenal Storage System; considering how it allows you to pull something like a heavy machine gun out of nowhere, the name is just perfect).
Another cool thing in Raiden's possession is his Nova (NanOshell VAriable) armour. It is made of active nanofiber with several "hard" parts, and it gives excellent protection against many kinds of weapons – from regular guns to lasers (high-frequency blades still cut right through it, though, and it does not help much against railguns and particle accelerator guns). It also has electromagnetic "skates" installed into boots – they allow the user to dash around at a very high speed or safely jump from high places (or onto high places :3). Also, the armour has a special Power Knuckle that can build up a powerful energy charge to discharge it into the enemy upon impact for massive damage.
In disengaged mode the armor is stored within the specially modified Arsenal system – the Armoury. When activated, it almost instantly covers the body of the user, replacing their clothes in the process (it appears above the clothes; the clothes are transferred into the Armoury; the user may or may not call out "Henshin!" during the activation :3). When the armour is disengaged, the same process goes in reverse. Also, the armour has several different modes.
Nova Plus: Heavy armour for even better protection. Not only it protects against more types of damage, it is also airtight and may be used in toxic atmosphere, under water or even in vacuum. The amount of oxygen is not very large, though, but there is an option of using external oxygen tanks.
Nova Minus: Most of the hard parts of the armour disappear. This mode is great for stealth operations.
Nova Shadow: The armour releases Chameleon nanobits that cover user's entire body and produce a Lightwave Distortion Field that renders the user almost invisible (think "Predator"). However, the field is slightly disrupted in the areas where the user touches any other objects. Liquids do not interfere with it much, though (it creates bizarre visual effect, though). This mode can be used together with other modes.
Nova Wing: The armour extends a set of "wings" composed of antigravs and ion thrusters to take the user to the sky. This mode can be used together with other modes (but it completely disrupts the Lightwave Distortion Field).
And now I will tell about some weapons that Raiden can pull out of his Arsenal Storage System (all of the following weapons are produced by the Ares Arms Industries).
A High-Frequency Sword and a Knife (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/AAIArsenalSwords.png): Raiden's favourite weapon is definitely a sword. While it looks a bit archaic, it can cut through almost anything with ease. Also, Raiden can channel electric energy through the blade for additional damage and/or for stunning effect. And Raiden has a special technique called the Thunder Blade (Raikiri?), where he uses his limited power over the Thunder Element to form a blade of energy around the blade of metal. It can cut a suit of Strider armour in half, but it takes a lot of concentration and a few seconds to create this Thunder Blade.
The knife is more or less identical to the sword (well, you can see it), just smaller.
An AAI HG-36 Handgun (lower) and an AAI P-9R "Khars" Revolver (upper) (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/AAIArsenalPistols1.png): The AAI P-36 handgun is standard handgun that fires standard pistol rounds (11 rounds in a standard clip). There is nothing special about this gun, but it is quite reliable and packs quite a punch at close range. Raiden sometimes uses two handguns at ones for Macedonian style shooting.
The "Khars" revolvers are produced by the AAI for different mercenaries, specops agents and similar warriors who need some special and unusual tools. The "Khars" revolver can use many different kinds of bullets – in fact, it was created for shooting enchanted bullets and spell bullets. Raiden always takes this revolver and some magic disruption bullets – just in case he will have to face against some magical creature like a demon. (On the side note, I fail at drawing revolvers :<)
An AAI SMG-21SR Sub-Machine Gun (upper) and AAI "Needlegun" SMGA-10NR Sub-Machine Gun (lower) (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/AAIArsenalSub-MachineGuns1.png): The 21SR sub-machine gun is one of the most common SMG's in the Federation. It is used mostly by security services and is best at the close range. Its standard clip has 30 bullets, and it can fire in short bursts or fully automatic. Once again, Raiden often uses two such guns at once to overwhelm his enemies.
The SMGA-10NR was nicknamed "Needlegun" because instead of usual bullets it uses small explosive needle-like ammunition. It is best at close range, and the effect it causes is absolutely devastating. It has forty rounds in a clip and can fire in single-shot, short burst and fully automatic modes. Like with the previous weapon, Raiden often uses two "Needleguns" at once.

About Core... I have seen what may be a logic flaw in the description. When Core was created and found to be imperfect, what age was she? If she was a baby, it raises interesting ethical questions about erasing an infant. It also shows remarkable patience from her sisters (who would be in their 40s or so by now).
Things also get ugly if they wait until she's 20 before deciding that she must die.
The least ugly option is if she was created as an adult like
clone_raiden2 (bet no-one spots that reference), though to be honest it combines both of the problems in the above scenarios.

No, he is not like Pham Nuwen. :3 The body of original Raiden was not used in the creation of Raiden 2.0. He was only about 25 when he was killed (but he entered the battlefield when he was only 16). Now, Raiden 2.0 was created with such technologies that if his body is properly maintained he can live for a couple of
centuries without ageing.
By the way, the body of original Raiden was stolen by another group after Sylvia's raid, and it
was revived. And
this Raiden had memories of his past, even though they were rather blurry. I'll post the pictures of "Revenant" Raiden (aka Shin Raiden) later.

Raiden is similar to JC Denton from "Deus Ex". Actually, I took a lot of inspiration from there. Also from "Ghost in the Shell" and "Appleseed".

Furies are created as 18-year-olds. Actually, the description may be worded incorrectly. The mutation was detected during the growth process, before Core's mind became active. However, there were
no mutants among Furies before, so others demanded the Command to give this "anomaly" a chance. The Command agreed, having faith in the judgement of the Furies.
And no, I don't get the reference, but I have a gut feeling that it is something from "Deus Ex".

Raiden learns that he was a clone of another person from the very beginning, but that other person, original Raiden, is considered dead at that point (well, he
is probably still dead at that point). It does not bother Raiden at first, but then he finds out that people don't want to reveal anything about his past, and he cannot find any information about it anywhere. Some time later original Raiden is revived.
He quickly learns about his clone and takes a name Shin Raiden (to stress that it is
he who is the real one; he is usually just called Raiden anyway, though). Shin Raiden is outraged by the fact that there is a "cheap imitation" of him running somewhere (even though this "cheap imitation" is more technologically advanced than him), and sets off on a quest to kill Raiden 2.0. Meanwhile Raiden 2.0 learns the truth about his past, which makes him kinda afraid of himself (especially considering his periodical berserk outbursts when he just tears his opponents apart with his bare hands sometimes). A bit later Raiden 2.0 learns about his original's revival, when said original comes knocking. They fight each other several times, with no apparent winner. And then the man who once killed original Raiden steps in. At this point things start to get plain crazy.

Ah, okay. It's funny, but I don't remember ever really seeing a story where the clone and the original get on. So I'm guessing that there's no real hope for reconciliation between the two at this point?

The more shocking thing here should be that the clone is the good guy, and the original is the bad guy (actually, there is a film "Replicant" with Jean-Claude Van Damme, which has a somewhat similar situation). And no, they won't really reconcile. But they
will join forces to kick Reiji's ass (only for Reiji to hand their asses to themselves - because he is

I did a while ago have an idea for a mecha series where the main character and his rival were designed in a laboratory to be the pinnacle of humanity at that point (Neither were really meant to be pilots, they just sort of
fell into it, if you will). The rival is considered the "clone," considering that the original was the main subject while the clone was considered a backup to him. I never really got far in it, but the clone never suffered from any sort of trauma from being a copy of someone else: in his mind (and in the original's mind) they were two separate people who made their own choices. The original was going to die killing one of the main bad guy's about halfway through, shortly after the clone decided to cut his ties to the people who raised him. The clone then managed to acquire a rebuilt copy of the heroes mech and decided to help out his original's allies, which caused no small amount of confusion when he removed his helmet and revealed himself to be physically identical to man who had been dead for four years. At one point the clone got very angry and fed up with the original's "sister" when she kept treating him like her dead brother and expecting him to react like him (which the rest of the crew was doing as well, quite frankly): he almost broke her wrist when he forced her to acknowledge that her brother was dead and that he wasn't her brother. I never really could figure out how the story was going to end, so I dropped it. And now I'm working on that one in my thread. I just never stop.

I
knew I was forgetting something
!OK, a few words about Axl Jet. It is one of the products of the Meridian Advanced Robotics corporation that specializes in building sentient and semi-sentient machines. Technically Axl is a VFR HMC-19hr "Hellrider", a huge motorcycle that transforms into a three meter tall humanoid robot. It is made with the use of many advanced technologies like nanofiber muscles or the Universal Assembler that allows almost instantaneous transformation. While robots like Axl have quite limited intelligence when they are just created, they can learn and grow. Sometimes, if they are assigned to a cyborg or an android, they form a sort of a cyber-link with their master, learning from them and often forming a personality similar to that of their master. When Axl was assigned to Raiden, they spent some time getting used to each other. At first Raiden saw Axl only as a fancy machine, but a MAR officer Carl Vance who delivered Axl and stayed for a while to teach Raiden how to handle the robot told Raiden many stories about sentient machines, both good and bad, who sometimes could become more human than some humans. He taught Raiden to respect the robot, and treat it like a person and not like a machine. Since Raiden himself was sometimes mistreated by his superiors in such a way, he could understand robots better than many. Actually, it was him who called the formerly nameless "Hellrider" Number 94561 Axl Jet. By the way, along with giving Raiden many important lessons about robots, Carl also introduced Raiden to hard rock; Raiden started to act a bit like some rock-star since then.
Axl usually talks with ready-made phrases that sounds like lines from some action movie ("Who wants some? Come, get some!"). He still has some problems with the proper human speech, but he can communicate with Raiden through a cyber-link. He is actually rather smart, but since his own personality is based on Raiden's, he is rather hot-headed and very brave. It is important to note that it is true courage, not the fearlessness of a mindless machine. Axl can be considered Raiden's best friend, and would do anything to help him.
As a highly advanced combat robot, Axl is very strong and agile in his android form, and is very fast in his bike form. As an android he has limited armament in form of two ion guns pistols inside his forearms, and plasma torches in his hands. He is also capable of unarmed fighting (a punch from a three meter tall robot isn't going to hurt in the morning – it is going to hurt
now >:3). Aside from that, Axl can use any weapons designed for powered armour, since he have fully operational hands. Also, he has a flight pack and electromagnetic skates, much like Raiden. As a motorcycle he has a maximum speed of 350 km/h and goes from 0 to 60 in three seconds. Needless to say that he does not need a driver to be able to move as a bike. Also, in this mode he is capable of hovering in air. And, just like Raiden, Axl has that Chameleon nanobit camouflage.
Coooool...
Out of curiosity, could Axl be "repossessed" by Raiden's commanders, or has he imprinted so much on Raiden that he wouldn't work with anyone else?
Raiden's commanders can control Axl and give him orders that he cannot disobey - or so it seems. Actually, Axl developes a strong enough will to override even a disengage order from the Command if he needs to help Raiden. He can work with other people than Raiden, but he is not likely to like it.

It indicates him as the property of the Ares Arms Industries, and also has a radio beacon in it to track him. The latter thing is purely redundant and unnecessary, since Raiden has a much more reliable communication and tracking system inside his body.

I wondered if it was what you were saying about Cassandra treating him like a pet. The truth is creepier.
Indeed, unless his race is considered so inferior that they can be owned like slaves, it is legally questionable, unless he legally became property when he died. Even so, his DNA and tissue should still be property of his estate.
**EDIT**
Actually, it's even worse than that - he's technically belong to Raiden 1.0, wouldn't he? In which case, being at the mercy of an amoral, unaccountable, wholly profit-motivated entity is starting to sound pretty good.
And it's awesome that I've finally found someone else who's read

Well, the collar itself was actually Cass's idea - she thought that such a way to place a corporation insignia would both be noticeable and look cute on Raiden (obviously Raiden himself was outraged - at first; later he got used to it). While Raiden's race, the enkidu, are considered inferior by some humans, officially they have equal rights with humans in the Federation (still their rights are sometimes violated). However, original Raiden never was a citizen of the Federation. Also, all the information about him was made top-secret by the Allied government when they took over. And his DNA was stolen by the corporation's mercenaries, not acquired in any legal way. Since most people in the Federation did not know where this DNA cam from, Raiden was considered the property of the corporation, and treated as a bio-android of sorts.

Actually, it's even worse than that - he's technically belong to Raiden 1.0, wouldn't he? In which case, being at the mercy of an amoral, unaccountable, wholly profit-motivated entity is starting to sound pretty good.
Well, considering how Raiden 1.0 wants him dead, while the "amoral, unaccountable, wholly profit-motivated entity" is very likely to protect its property - yes, it does sound good. :3

It gave me the idea behind Jakob's name. Anyway, I'm starting to look forward to your story in a big way.
Another character that will appear in the "Thunderbolt's Chronicles" - the repaired and revived original Raiden, also known as Shin Raiden (if I am not mixing stuff up, "Shin" is "True" in Japanese).
Shin Raiden. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/ShinRaiden.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/ShinRaiden.png)
I have already told a condensed back-story of original Raiden, Shin is somewhat different from what he used to be before his death. He is bitter and generally hates the world that has rejected him. However, eventually he starts to realize that it was him who was wrong, and that war just for the sake of war led to total obliteration. Right now he has two goals somewhat related to war - to find and kill his clone, whose existence Shin Raiden considers as a personal insult, and then to have a rematch with Reiji Hassan, the man who once killed him.
Shin's body is mostly mechanical - while he and his clone are both cyborgs, in Shin's case it is much more obvious. In fact, his body was damaged to the point where most of it had to be replaced (Reiji did a number on him with his Power of Decay). Both of his arms are artificial - there was hardly anything left of his own. There are miniature ion guns inside his arms. Most of his internal organs are also artificial. While Shin does not have all those neat gadgets like the Arsenal or the Nova armour, he is insanely strong and tough - he can lift a tonne and his skeleton was reinforced and bones infused with nanites that made them stronger than steel (he can take a standard rifle round to the face and just shrug it off). Also, even now, after his death and revival, Shin has retained his dormant psychic powers and the ability to create electricity. However, now his powers are considerably weaker than before, and it takes a lot of concentration for him to use the Thunder Blade technique.
Cool. Love the cyborg! So, I'm guessing his favorite weapon is a sword? I'm also wondering how much of his body is artificial (aside from the limbs and internal organs): it looks like he's got some servos to his legs and like he's got something in his neck.
EDIT: Wow, the two Raiden's really do look alike, but you did some nice work on their facial expressions to tell us which is which. Also, is that a barcode on 2.0's chest?
Quote from: Jairus on August 06, 2008, 12:49:02 PM

Well, a sword and a shotgun. Because nothing says "I
loev you" like a shotgun round to the knees. :B As for the sword, it is Raiden's original sword, which is mostly identical to New Raiden's sword.

Well, his entire torso is artificial, but it was reconstructed rather than replaced like his arms (well, his arms were replaced with mechanical ones mostly to make him capable of tearing cyborgs and androids limb from limb. He has a layer of nanofibre armour under his skin, but it is only really noticeable around his throat. His eyes are mechanical too. Actually, he is much more of a machine than Raiden 2.0.

Yes, it is.
Out of interest, is Shin's brain organic?

*Critique Hat*
Your characters head needs to be a little more to the left. if he's standing up straight, his chin shouldn't be in line with his throat (even with the "Hips forward, head tucked down" pose). Also, his legs should be overlapping each other at the hips.
The shoulders and pec's look spot on for a 3/4ters pose, and his whole stance is very expressive. If you want a little more visual impact, though, you might want to raise the left foot/lower the right for more perspective.
I wouldn't use gray for the eyes. I know they're cybernetic, but gray is a dull color. If they're going to look evil, go ahead and make em look Eeee-vil. Like red on black. Or solid white.
I'd have to say the weakest element of the pic is the fabric. Your armor looks great, your anatomy is striking, the pose has impact, but the cloth looks... I dunno, like clay. Take a second look at the bunches and gathers, think about the folds, give it some more volume.

Thanks. Drawing fabric is actually my weak point. No matter how much I draw it, it always turns out like that. :sweatdrop
Now more Raiden! This time it is the original Raiden, in his uniform as a major of the Thunderfists.
Original Raiden. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/OriginalRaiden.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/OriginalRaiden.png)
I have already written his back-story, so I don't know what to add about him. If you come up with some questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Oh sweet and terrible gods... that's beautiful. And yet another costume that I want! He looks a lot better when he hasn't been through the mill, but that's to be expected. Actually, about how long ago was this? The design of his armor looks a bit "older" than Raiden's current outfit and 2.0's armor.
I have to ask again, how do you do it? How do you draw those incredible images? I want to get some of my costumes and characters out of my head, and I'm just not good enough to do.

Raiden 2.0's armour was made with the use of cutting-edge technologies of the Federation of United Terran Stars, where technology was highly advanced, while the original Raiden lived outside of the Federation, on the planet Gerio-Goran. While Gerion technology was not all that outdated either, it was still inferior to the Terran. And they also had a sort of a warrior cult that has been abolished only with the fall of the Soloan Empire. Hence fancy military uniforms.
By the way, I have just realized that the original Raiden turned out looking a little too.. err..
pretty for himself. It must be the
dress tunic. :.
I liked the dress tunic: his face just says "Yes, I am wearing a dress. Do you want to comment about it, or do you want to keep your arms?"
In all seriousness, it just makes him more badass. Tell me he has a version of this in the modern day.
Very nice of both flavors
Power overwhelming! :B Another character is here! It is colonel Sylvia Bron of the Thunderfists (well, now that the Thunderfists are disbanded, she can't really be called a colonel).
Sylvia Bron. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/SylviaBron.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/SylviaBron.png)
In the past, when Raiden was only 19 and was just promoted to lieutenant, Sylvia (22 years old), who herself was a major, became his direct commander. Three years later the leader of the Thunderfists, general Marcus Brueger, fell in the battle for the Giladean base guarding the entrance to the Northern regions of the Folmar, where the Yggdrasil Construct was situated, and Sylvia, who had to take command, managed to win that battle. She was promoted to colonel and made the captain of the Thunderfists flagship "King Bradley" (I wonder if anyone knows where this name comes from.. >:3). Two years later the Empire took complete control of Yggdrasil and begun the preparations for the world conquest campaign. Raiden, who played the main roll in taking control of the Yggdrasil, became the leader of the Thunderfists at that time. Sylvia was his right hand woman, and they seemed to be in love with each other. But several months later the Alliance was formed, and after another several monthe the Empire fell. Raiden was killed, the Thunderfists were disbanded, and Sylvia lost everything she had - her rank, her position in the society, the Empire she served and the man she loved. She became a nobody, and had to hide from the new government that wanted all of the surviving Thunderfists arrested. However, many of those survivors joined again to start a guerilla war on the territory of the former Empire. And then Sylvia emerged again - as a special consultant of the Allied special forces. From just a consultant she quickly became an Allied officer, and with the help of her tactical genius and her first-hand knowledge of the Thunderfists tactics the guerilla Thunderfists were soon all either captured or killed. Many thought that she betrayed her former comrades to reclaim her position, which she actually did. Others said that she lost her faith in the ways of the noble warriors of the "Old" Gerio-Goran. Sylvia herself never explained why she did it. But when the last battle of that never-ending war was over, one year after Raiden's death, Sylvia left the planet and moved on the territory of the Federation of the United Terran Stars. There she soon became a mercenary. Three years after Raiden's death she came back to Gerio-Goran to steal Raiden's DNA samples for the Ares Arms Industries corporation. However, she seems to have disappeared shortly after returning from that mission.
Sylvia looks calm and pleasant most of the time; however, she can be also rather sarcastic and malicious. She is a brilliant commander, but she is also a great mech and hoverplane pilot, and a formidable opponent in a sword fight. She has enough augmentations to be considered a cyborg, but not to the extent of Raiden (either one of them :3). Her weapon of choice is a whipblade - an exotic weapon made of a special sort of ultra-strong nanofibre. It can be either like a whip that can easily cut through cloth, skin and flesh, or turn into something like a rapier.

In all seriousness, another great character, and another great costume. From her backstory, Raiden probably isn't going to be happy with her if he ever finds her again.

She is, but she is stuck with Reiji and the "Insaints" (against her will), which cannot be very good.. Have you read manga "Hellsing" or watched "Hellsing Ultimate"? If yes, then just think of the "Millenium".. >:3
As for Raiden 2.0, when he got the information about "his" past, he learned about Sylvia, but he did not discover any hidden feelings about her. However, he decided that he must find her.
Hope Core doesn't pull her good cop bad cop routine on you
(Note: This was written before the Sylvia pic was drawn.)
Gaulen, do you do life drawing? I find that if I can't draw something (LIke, say, fabric) I have to do some life studies to get it down. Failing that, even looking at a real world example before you draw can help.
As for the pic... I'm assuming you're drawing most of these off the same template. Therefore, comments about the pose, the chin being tucked in, etc, still apply. I don't really need to repeat myself there. Though I still think you should be messing around with shadows.
I quite like the armor design, and the gold detailing on the outfit. It doesn't obscure the figure. I like the off center split to the tunic, too. (Chances are that's a double breasted coat rather then a tunic. But I'm probably babbling now.) The armor itself
(Definitely babbling now) I read through the weapon descriptions. "Needle like ammunition" are typically called a fléchettes. ("Fle-shets", for those who are not french) Dunno if you know that or not. Fun fact: they're especially nasty if you use barbed fiberglass rounds, cause they don't show up on X-rays (Finding em all is HARD. Especially since a shotgun round can carry 30 flechettes in a shell, and they leave really small holes) and you can do more damage taking them out then putting them in. They're less effective against flack armor, and probably even less against plate. If they exploded embedded in flesh a flack vest, I could see it being quite hazardous. if they exploded on contact with rigid armor, I can't see them doing much damage. Something you might want to consider if they're going to be used against other armored targets.
(On to the pic of Sylvia)
Skipping over the usual, cloth, shadows, nice facial expression, yadda yadda.
I think the motif on the cuff should be the same (but smaller) as the one on the lower panel of the tunic. The motif is very strongly right angled, so the one on the cuff should be too. You can get away with it on the bicep, but the one on the wrist is kind of off-putting.
As a small note, the hand looks kind of half relaxed. If a hand is limp, the fingers curl a bit. Also, even in that pose, the middle finger is longer then the first... pointer... whatever finger that is. Next to the thumb. If she has her right hand planted on her hip, that pose looks very uncomfortable for hte wrist. If her hand was a fist, tho, it'd make sense (though it'd probably be far back enough that we couldn't see it from this angle). If she has her right thumb tucked in her belt, then her hand and fingers would be pointing mostly downward. (That's more nit picking then anything else, and probably more than a bit subjective. Still, some poses are comfortable and some are not.)
[EDIT:] Jairus, just say what you think when you see it. Whatever pops out of your mind. You don't have to be too complicated, or use technical art terms. Feed back is feed back. Heck, even something as subjective as "His hair looks funny"(for example) is useful to an artist. In my experience, it helps if you mention the thing you like most and the thing that bugs you the most about the work. Most people get tired of comments like "OMG Your work is teh awesomexxorz!". Saying that you like something is nice. Saying *what* you like is useful.
[EDIT the Second] Dammit, would people stoop posting comments before I can finish writing this post? :U I wish my thread was this active.

That "needlegun" fires a compound nanobullet. While it is thinner than a regular bullet, it is much more complex. It has a microchip inside it that makes a nanobomb inside the bullet detonate several microseconds after the impact, so it may pierce the armour and explode inside the target. If the target is not armoured, the effect will still be the same. But while these flechettes can just tear apart a kevlar vest, they are not good against heavier armour. For it Raiden have some bigger guns - from assault rifles and machine guns to railguns ("nailguns" :3) and particle accelerators.
Nah... that was my own stupidity. I think I was about to say something about the armor when I took a second look at it, decided otherwise, and got back to writing without deleting the fragment. Geh.
[EDIT:] Also, I think it's long cause I spent way too much time babbling about flechettes and hands.

Yes, Sylvia is of the same race as Raiden. Thechnically, their race is called Gerions, from their homeworld Gerio-Goran (like humans are called Terrans or Lanteans by other races). Enkidu is a general term used in my setting for furres. They are moderately spread on the territory of the Federation, and there are several planets inhabited mostly by them and belonging to them. Still, there are more humans than enkidu.
Very interesting concept you have there Ren, Hopefully I could do a favor for you sometime
Time for more characters for the "Thunderbolt's Chronicles". This time it is Raiden's operator, Cassandra Nigel.
Cassandra Nigel. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/CassandraNigel.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/CassandraNigel.png)
To tell the truth, Cass does not have a back-story as detailed and complex as Raiden's or Sylbia's. However, her story has some dark moments, too. When Cass was seventeen, she was kidnapped by the "Shadow Walkers" criminal syndicates. They kidnapped young men and women to brainwash them and convert them into combat cyborgs. Cass was to suffer the same fate, and she was already brainwashed when the base of "SW" that she was taken to was raided by the anti-terrorist task force. Cass was saved, but she lost most of her memories, and was partially turned into a cyborg. However, she knew very well who did it to her, and she wanted to have her revenge. She joined the recently formed "Crisis" and underwent full conversion, becoming a military-grade cyborg (technically she is similar to Raiden 2.0 now, but weaker). Seven years later Raiden 2.0 was created, and Cass was designated as his operator.
Cass is generally cheerful and nice, but she also enjoys "torturing" Raiden and treats him as a pet and a houseworker (Raiden lives at Cass's place). The inane collar that Raiden wears was her idea, and at first she abused her ability to control Raiden's actions. However, eventually Cass started to really care for Raiden, and stopped thinking of him just as of the property of AAI corporation. She even helped Raiden learn the truth about his past.
Good lord a human being. Interesting backstory: um, aside from being "weaker" than 2.0, what kind of abilities does she have? And what exactly does the position of Operator entail (I have some guesses, but I kind of want to hear the details)?
Artwise, on my first viewing I missed that she was wearing a shirt since it's so close to her skin color. Still, good drawing.

Well, she has an array of equipment identical to Raiden's (Arsenal, Nova, guns, such stuff). She is a martial arts expert and a great marksman, but lately she stays away from the action. As an Operator, she is basically the persons who stays in the command centre and tells Raiden where is his mission objective and how to get to it (like those countless operators from computer games - only they don't kick your rear if you do something wrong when you finish the mission :3). Also, Raiden and Cass have a cyber-link, which allows Cass give Raiden orders that he cannot disobey (at least he is not supposed to be able to do that), or just communicate with him through it.
Very interesting
As I am leaving again today, I decided to draw something completely different from my other posts of this week. And so,

Oh no. I has the diabeetus. :<
But seriously, it was extremely generous of you to draw Keaton again. Thank you so much! <3 She looks fantastic; I still love her outfit, and just how you draw her in general. So adorable. c:
Also, I noticed you used the same background as the one you used in the infamous lollipop-panel in Revenge of the Fridge, which makes the picture even more adorable to me. For some reason that background really cracks me up, because the little Keaton-heads in the background look so mischievous.

That's weapon-grade cute, people! >:3 I warned you about the possibility of an overdose.
Very nice... cute, yet not sickeningly so. And the eyes are normal instead of creepy and soulless.
I think you've got the perfect Chibi design here.
MY GOD SHE'S RIGHT BEHIND ME :U
OH MY GOD IT'S COMING RIGHT FOR ME!

Yes, it is very cute. The thick black ridge where her hair and fur meet makes her look a bit evil, though. I can't stop imagining her thinking "Muahahaha!"
Dyaawwwwwww... that's too cute.

Cat, wolf... whatever. Still cute! The only difference is whether I scratch him on the head or belly.

Yes. A generic feline, even, since the word "cat" usually implies a house cat, which Ren is not.

I have a feeling that this huge reel can be used as a throwing weapon.. :.
The three-in-one comment I promised! It's go time! *injects a whole syringe of insulin into herself*
First off, on the chibi-Keaton, I absolutely love it. She's so adorable! XD I'm overjoyed that you seem to enjoy drawing her so often, too, because I love seeing your chibi incarnations, especially in this new style. I was a little surprised that you threw the dragon I adopted from Dragcave.net into the picture, but the results are really great. Keaton needs something to snuggle, anyway. You're really tempting me to give Keaton some kind of pet, now (a Drake? But they're too intelligent), since she looks so happy with Waffle here.
In terms of the artwork, you know how much I love your art. >:3 I feel the need to comment on Keaton's lack of jacket - that's interesting since it gives me a good glimpse of her top. And dude, no matter how many times you use that background, I am always going to think it's awesome, because it's just been immortalized in my mind. I do agree with Tape about the "mwahaha!", although it's for an entirely different reason. c: Keaton just likes to practice her malicious laughter in her spare time.
Now for the chibi-Ren. This is equally adorable, but I'm probably putting far too much thought and speculation into this. In particular, I mean the pencil Ren's holding. Is this a depiction of the comic character who's separate from your avatar and personality, or of your avatar? I figured it was the latter, since he's armed with the art utensils. That's so adorable. I love his vibrant green eyes, the little :3-face he's making, and the pencil and eraser. It also amuses me that you manage to make your chibis look fairly anatomically correct, too, because his legs look great and not at all stubby (like some people draw them).
I still envy the way you draw knees, since I find them one of the most unappealing aspects of the human/furry anatomy because of how lumpy and hard-to-draw they are. You make the knees look perfect, and the rest of the legs as well - such as how the foreleg is subtly angled differently from the upper leg/thigh and the knees are bent inward in a standing figure. Much approval there.
As for the Tapewolf chibi, I actually squealed when I first saw this. I think this one is one of my favorites, because, good god, it's
so cute! He's even standing next to a little roll of film. Weirdly, I find the eyes are probably one of my favorite aspects of the picture, because they're so big and bright and yellow. I see he's wearing his trenchcoat too. Very few chibis can pull that off. :3 The art is great, too - Tape-chibi's smile is pretty cute and subdued. The hair's great, too, and his general posture and pose. Terrific chibi, overall.
*kidnaps all three chibis for insidious cuddling purposes*

Heh, the Jakob one came out well in colour. The only suggestion I could make to improve it is to choose a colour for his trousers that is not the same as his fur. Apart from that minor niggle, it is really good.

Ugh. It's hard to explain. I get confused myself sometimes. OK. First, there is my avatar-character Ren, who is not involved in any stories and just represents me. He is in this picture. Second, there is Ren Gaulen, the White Knight of Gaia. He is a character from my stories set in the "Shades of Grey" universe ("Sorceress' Knight" and "Hell Knight"), and he is the "real" Ren. The freaky thing that serves as my avatar picture is him (in his daemon form). Then there is an alternative version of Ren that I made for my comic project. He won't appear anywhere outside of the comic. Also, there is a clone of "real" Ren that was created by Dr. Trez in the alternative reality of "SoG", but I'd rather not go there. It is not canon, anyway.

And don't worry, your explanation makes sense, Ren. Kinda. Sorta. Not really. It works.
I'd ask if I could get in the chibi version line, but you already did my Evil Jyrras avatar, so I'd feel bad about it.
(For the record, I have hazel eyes that are more green than brown, dark brown (almost black) hair, and no glasses.) NO! BAD JAIRUS!

Wait,
what are you supposed to be as a chibi? A human? A furre kangaroo-rat like Jyrras? Do tell Ren.
I think roo-rats are cute. I mean, in real life I'm about 6'2" (1.88 meters), so I'm a little tall for one, but still. Besides, I wouldn't want to be drawn as a human... I have little intention of posting one of my pictures of me online, and I'm not exactly good-looking.

Just kidding. They're still great.
Just as a matter of clarification... wow, I have no idea how to say this without potentially offending someone... I'm not a "furry." Kind of like Slowtini, I'm a fan of fantasy/sci-fi, and this comic (and Ozy and Millie). That doesn't mean that I can't have a "fursona," though. It just seems... appropriate.

Simply amazing, Ren. I loved that first chibi Keaton, and now you've just been turning them out so fast I can barely keep up. Whoooo....
<mesmerised clapping>
So you've just been drawing these during your week away from us?
They all look great Ren. Definitely achieved a high level of cute. Which is why I think llearch should be next. By all the things green and good he could use a bit of a softer image what with all of his sharp and witty comments and schooling of us of the uninformed and unintelligent masses. Though I suppose that might drive him to be even sharper to prove a point.... if that's possible.
Eh, either way, chibi llearch next is where my vote goes.

chibi ren, the eyes, they're made of sugar! and he has bishi muscle definition, uncommon in chibis
chibi tape, for some reason makes me think of the old stories of shoemaker elves, and about thirty of those creeping into tapes studio at night
chibi zedd, my brother is bite sized! and he also looks much older then normal, kinda weired actually, maybe it has to do with him wearing a shirt that isnt torn
OK, I have temporarily disengaged my chibification driver and now post a couple of full-sized characters.
Siegfried Faradeus Nox. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/SiegfriedFNox.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/SiegfriedFNox.png)

(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/PaulKrauser.png)
Both of these guys are from the Realm of Karid, and they both are Demons. Neither of them will appear in the "Thunderbolt's Chronicles", though. :<
Zig is actually a halfbreed of a Demon and an Angel, but he hardly has any of the Angel traits. He was banished from his clan when he was 16, enslaved by humans, then "taken in" by a cruel and immensely powerful Prince of Demons, Seth. Eventually Zig broke free of Seth's will and, killing Seth, took over his position. Keaton and I came to a conclusion that Ziggy looks both badass and fabulous.
Paul is a purebreed demon (yet he never knew his parents, and his older brother, Johann, was keeping him in the dark concerning his true nature). While Johann was a priest of Aton in the town they lived in, Paul went adventuring. Later he was drawn into the all-out war between Demons and Angels, gathered the Seal Swords of the Six Elements and joined them with the Seventh Seal, thus reviving the Sword of Unity, became a demi-god, saved the world but lost the girl, punched the Champion of Mephistopheles in the face and saved the world again, died to bring the girl back to life and was brought back himself by Aton, minus the Sword of Unity and the demi-god status. He is currently adventuring again.
NO!!!! I NEED MORE CHIBIS!!!
Nox is indeed badass. And I wish I could pull that outfit off. You do not mess with someone dressed like that if you want to keep your body parts. You also do not mess with someone who has done the things he's done.
Paul sounds like Conan and a half-dozen other adventurers and video-game characters distilled down to 200 Proof Awesome.
Sadness about them not being in the Chronicles. Then again, they might take over the story if they were...
So, Zig is pretty damn evil, and Paul is good/neutral?
What, out of interest, are demons like in this world? Because Paul seems outwardly normal. As does Zig, mostly.

Yeah, many want to pull it off. >:3 Also, I think I should mention Zig's weapons of choice: an enchanted katana charged with the Wind Element (he calls it Kusanagi) and a gauntlet for left hand (it actually covers entire forearm), which was a part of a long lost cursed suit of armour. It can block magic (except for the magic of the one who wears it, of course) and drain the life force of the living beings, restoring to power of its wearer. Zig is also very good with a bow, can cast some simple Wind and Fire magic, and can control blood (his own blood, which he has to spill first, or any blood if he mixes his own with it), turning it into something like metal and forming weapons from it (just tiny throwing needles, mind you - but they are actually much more dangerous than they seem, as Zig can make them explode). Zig's Beast form is not too original (he just gets a pair of wings and a pair of horns, while his eyes turn solid red with large slitted pupils). However, he also has a Nightmare form, which looks like a giant jaguar (non-anthro) made of red darkness, with white holes for eyes and white flame burning inside it. However, he used it only once, when he fought Seth, and it took an entire pool of blood to form this body. It is not clear if Zig can form it deliberately, either.

Conan all the way! :B Paul's weapon of choice is a bastard sword, but he is pretty good with many other weapons, from daggers and bows to maces and spears. He is also quite good at hand-to-hand combat, and has limited skills in Aura magic (he can Hadoken! :B).

Demons are physically superior to humans - they are very strong, agile and fast, and has heightened endurance and regeneration. Also, they are very hard to kill - as long as there is magical energy in them, they will keep regenerating and coming back to life, even if you disintegrate them (well, only stronger demons would have power to recover from disintegration, while weaker ones would be killed instantly, but still). However, they still can be killed by non-magical weapons - it will simply take some time (and stuff like firearms would help greatly).
Quote from: Brunhidden on August 18, 2008, 03:54:01 PM

It is a magical amulet called the Eye of Havran (after a dragon Havran, who created several original amulets). It serves as a mana accumulator and a magical focus at the same time (it allows its wearer replenish magical energy faster and make magical discharges more concentrated and powerful). The bracer on Paul's left wrist is simply a magical force shield generator.

Ziggy-Pop: Siegfried will forever be known as Ziggy-Pop in my mind, no matter how awesome he looks here >:3 I love the character design, as always, but his color scheme in particular stands out the most to me. Not just because I have an obvious weakness for the color yellow, mind you. X3 Out of his whole clothing design, I feel I like his gloves the most, because of the way they cover the entirety of his arms. Everything about his outfit is pretty amazing, frankly.
And we were right. He is badass and fabulous. He's fabulouass.
Paul: Now see, you're on a roll with the color schemes. I like Paul's color scheme a lot; I don't see this type of coloration all that often. Also, I had no idea it was possible to combine gray and green together successfully, but you did it. Love his amulet and matching bracer, too >:3 My only gripe is that Paul isn't immediately recognizable as a lion - I would recommend practicing drawing a few more lions and looking at some pictures of real lions. I did the same thing.
However, the art is fantastic on both pictures.

Hmm, yes. If he's a lion, a more mane-like haircut would help. There's a particularly leonine hairstyle in Morrowind if digging that up would help:

The chibis are cute, but I think you could make their limbs shorter and give them less muscle definition for amplified cuteness.
Paul's high muscle definition is visually distracting.

(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/NicholasDThorn.png)
What a shock! A human character! Well, there already were Judith and Cass.. OK. All of these three guys may appear in the "Thunderbolt's Chronicles". At some point of the story Raiden will travel to planet Asheron, where the Holy Order resides, and since both Nicholas and Ren are members of it, they are likely to meet Raiden. Jared is an enemy of Reiji Hassan. And, if you remember Raiden's back-story, you will know that Raiden (at least, Shin Raiden) is also Reiji's enemy, so there is a chance that Raidens (both) and Jared would team up to smite some Evil together.
A few words about the characters themselves. Jared was born on planet Oberon. He was growing up as an orphan, living in the industrial district of the capitol of the Kingdom of Lutior. When he was ten, he was taken in by a mysterious organization called "God's Hand". It was actually a part of a powerful secret society that had its branches in all parts of the Federation of the United Terran Stars. On Oberon "God's Hand" was running an operation, the goal of which was the creation of a living super-weapon. Jared's body was infused with the Nether Cells, which turned him into an immensely powerful Demon altling. There was another one who was transformed in a similar fashion, though - Reiji Hassan. Jared and Reiji became friends, but one day they both fell in love with one woman, Alexia. A rivalry between them broke out. And then Jared decided to rebel against the "God's Hand". From friends Jared and Reiji were quickly turning into enemies. The culmination of their confrontation was their battle during which accidentally took Alexia's life. After that Jared and Reiji became mortal enemies, blaming each other for her death. Jared travelled across Oberon for the next several years, hiding from the "God's Hand". During that time Reiji became a leader of the Oberonian branch of the "God's Hand". Eventually the two of them faced in the battle again, and Jared finally killed Reiji. However, Reiji managed to "pull Gandalf", and returned to life as a much more powerful "Reiji the Black" (this name is a joke, and it is not canon). Now Jared travels across the entite Federation, still hiding from the "God's Hand" and hoping to kill Reiji once and for all one day. He fights any Evil he comes across during his journeys, and defies the "God's Hand" that tried to turn him into a heartless killing machine. By the way, Jared's scars remain from the time before he was transformed. They cannot regenerate. However, those round scars on the left side of his chest were left by Reiji, when he used his Power of Decay on Jared (these scars also don't heat).
Ren was born on planet Kirindor in the Realm of Karid. Retelling his back-story would take too much time, so I'll just tell about his current position in time and space. After saving his homeworld from a catastrophe, travelling into the very depths of Hell and back, fighting Daemons, Angels and Dragons (no, he was not doing it
all alone) and utterly defeating a Daemon Prince Azriel, Ren moved into the Luminous Realm, and on the territory of the Federation. There he met Nicholas Thorn, who introduced Ren to the Holy Order, which Ren joined, becoming an Asheronian Knight Errant and an official Daemonslayer (and, as a member of the Holy Order, he also got that pimpin' coat :3). Since then Ren lived either on Asheron or on Terra. As a Knight of the Holy Order he can be racalled by the Order Masters and sent on a mission to smite something Evil, but as a Knight Errant he is expected to roam across the land in search for something Evil (to smite it thoroughly, of course) himself.
A note about Ren's eyes. They change colour. Naturally Ren's eyes are green, as you can see in the picture. However, when Ren enters his Awakened mode and his powers start working at full output, his eyes turn red. So the changes in colour does not depend on Ren's mood (he can "Awaken" just to show off).
Nicholas Dominic Thorn was a member of the Holy Order before it moved to Asheron. Hell, he was its member before it was formed. Nicholas is a man of mystery. A very few people know that he is over ten thousand years old. He lived on Earth in the times of Roman Empire and was a Roman soldier called Nicius. He was known by many other names during the next ten millenia, but now most people refer to him as Father Dominic. He is also known as Slayer Priest, Revolver Preacher and the Sword of the Cross by those who oppose the Holy Order. Nicholas is a calm, cool and collected man. He is soft spoken and very polite, even with his enemies. Even in battle he is eerily calm. However, when he is among friends and colleagues, he is friendly and cheerful, sometimes even loud. He likes to drink a good ol' cup of good ol' beer with the guys and tell some of his stories. However, he tells them as if they happened to someone else (some of these stories date millenia back; also, many of them happened to someone else anyway :3). Also, it is possible to make Nicholas angry. But you would not like him when he is angry..
Aww... I want Ren's pimp coat! Just kidding. Sweet outfits and nice backgrounds for all of them... though I don't think I'd want as many buckles as Jared's got on his outfit.
So, um, somewhat stupid question (but I'm a little distrustful of anything calling itself "Holy"), what side is the Holy Order on? Are they good guys or bad guys, and what "holy" entity are they aligned to? And is God's Hand somehow related to them, like an offshoot or a rebel group or a secret sect that the others don't know about or something like that?
Um, about how old it Nicholas Thorn? (And is it bad that my first thought was "Abel Nightroad" and my second thought was "Vash the Stampede?")

Jared's outfit and overall appearance is based on Livio the Doublefang from "Trigun Maximum", though I have to admit that Livio's outfit had less buckles. And if you want that pimp coat - join the Holy Order! :B

And is God's Hand somehow related to them, like an offshoot or a rebel group or a secret sect that the others don't know about or something like that?
The question is not stupid at all. The Holy Order of Asheron are good guys who live to protect the Humankind from the horrors of the Nether Realm, even though their methods may be rather harsh at times. They are a bit like Hellsing and Section XIII rolled into one. They are basically Christian, but rather than being aligned to any particular entity, they align themselves to their mission itself. So not "We are on a mission from God", but "We are on a mission to preserve your existence". They have seen too much of the "other side" to remain religious any more.
The "God's Hand", on the other hand, is a powerful secret society that works from the shadows trying to manipulate the Humankind. Their goals are not clear, but they may seem to be pure evil at times. They have existed longer that the Federation itself (for three thousand years at least).

Um, about how old it Nicholas Thorn? (And is it bad that my first thought was "Abel Nightroad" and my second thought was "Vash the Stampede?")
It is said in the description - he is over ten thousand years old. And he is a mixture of three characters at least: Abel Nightroad (I couldn't remember his last name :animesweat), Vash the Stampede and Father Alexander Goddamn Anderson. In other words, Nicholas is the Badass incarnate.
So the Holy Order started out as being devoted to God, but have more made their objective a holy mission rather than a directive from God? Interesting...

Oops... ahem... missed that bit about his age. I was just wondering because of his white hair: he looked a little young to have natural white hair, so I was kind of wondering if he had natural white hair. And yes, he is Badass Incarnate. Good thing he's on our side.
"Alexander Goddamn Anderson?" Hm, now I have visions of Father Anderson dressed as a demonic Batman fighting Joker Alucard, while Harley Integra sneaks up with a mallet...

Ahem. Sorry, my Batman fangirl is showing.
Jared: That expression is made of so much win and sex that I really can't describe it. I love how wicked and vicious you made him look. I admit I was extremely surprised to see his color scheme, because I wasn't expecting a mixture of browns and blues, but overall I really like the design. The open jacket with no shirt underneath is fantastic.
Ren: Aw, Ren looks so peaceful here. Love his jacket; the Order uniform is very interesting. :3 Great choice of blood-reds; I would have expected white for a paladin so I find this very unique.
Nicolas: Excellent work on the coat in particular, and the cross. :3 Love the whole thing, really - I don't see many humans from you. Hopefully that will change in the future. All-in-all, fantastic art.

Sweet art, man. Jared looks especially badass. Was his appearance in any way inspired by the character K' from the King of Fighters series? Not that it matters. Awesome stuff.
Thanks for the comments. :3

Actually, he was originally meant to be green, not brown, but one of my friends kept calling him "Iguana", and somehow it made me change Jared's colour recently. Actually, you can see his original colours
here (http://www.project-future.org/strip.php?strip=20) - he is the guy on the right in the first panel (WARNING! Some violence). Actually, there are
four of my characters there. :3
Also, I feel like mentioning Jared's "tools of trade". I mentioned that he is a wandering warrior in his description already. Like almost all of the "SoG" warriors, one of Jared's weapons of choice is a sword - a huge cleaver sword that he calls "Can Opener" (and he calls soldiers in power armour "Canned Meat" >:]). And his other weapon, or rather weapons of choice are a pair of machine guns. Jared is strong enough to effectively use two of them at once. Well, he is actually strong enough to destroy his enemies with his bare hands..

You are right, paladins of the Order wear white, grey or black. But Ren is
not a paladin. :) He is a knight. Paladins here are a sort of warrior-priests, and most members of the Holy order are not paladins. By the way, originally the Order was called the Order of White Cross, but then it split into three separate Orders - Order of Asheron, Order of Tarkus and Order of Everest (all of these are the names of the planets where these orders reside).

No, Jared is not connected to K' (though I see some similarities). He was based on Livio the Doublefang (Trigun Maximum) and Brandon Heat (Gungrave).

First of all, I took the name Tarkus from "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" (there was a knight named Tarkus there). The members of the Tarkussian Order rely mostly on brute force, and aside from banishing Daemons and punishing altlings they are often seen fighting some non-magical alien menace like draghirs or the Kzel-Usul alongside with the soldiers of the federation. Asheronian Order members concentrate on purging the Unclean, hunting unsanctioned Nether summoners and altlings who break the laws (because police forces are often incapable to deal with the altlings themselves). Everestian Order members are more of a humanitarian organisation, actually. Rather than fighting on the battlefields they help people in more peaceful ways. However, they have their rangers almost everywhere.

Ah. Maybe the word has some other meaning or origin - if so I'm not aware of it. Generally it refers to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarkus

Presumably that's punishing wayward altlings, rather than a pogrom against them as a whole? With these religious sects it's sometimes hard to tell.

Yeah, I looked it up in Google myself when you asked about Tarkus. Anyway, in "SoG" Tarkus is the name of a planet.

Yes, you are right. They enforce the altlings to live
like humans if they want to live
among humans. For instance, they are not allowed to devour the life force of humans to prolong their own lives (Demons, for example, naturally live for 150 years or so).

Very scary, little cute. The eyes... I fear them... And the teeth...
That's interesting... I don't remember much of the orginal daemon Ren so do his wings have that small segment normally or just while he's chibi'd?
Very awesomely evil
Aw, cute. I like the little doggy crouch. He does look a bit ready to snap, though.
the 'doggy pose' as you put it actually feels kinda good on your legs, assuming you don't hold it for longer then twenty minutes or so.
reminds me of gremlins more then gargoyles though, and that cute little bugger flying at my face, gnawing, and all i can say is "awww, its so cute how it tries to claw out my eyes'

Nah, see, Cubi don't have tentacles until they're far too old for tentacoo wape.

Yes, but unlike Shinji I am not emo. And unlike him, I would tell those Instrumentality guys to shove their Eva's you-know-where.
Bizarrely I think the Chibi-Demon edges Zedd out in the cuteness stakes, buy only just. It's a good likeness. I'm still trying to figure out what the costume makes me think of... to be honest, it looks very much like it escaped from one of the 1930s Flash Gordon series.
Question for Zedd... what would he do if someone pulled his hair?
Jairus turned out well too, though I think it's probably the first time he has been drawn, so we don't have much to compare against.

In my comic project Ren will actually play a role similar to Kamina's, so at some point he will probably deliver some kind of a "Don't believe in yourself, Simon! Believe in me who believes in you!" speech to Joshua. Of course, it means that later he will also have to deliver a "Don't believe in me, who believes in you..

Breaking interdimensional barriers is
Simon's Joshua's prerogative, and Bright Slapping different characters out of angsting/moping/screwing around is Keaton's prerogative. Ren is more of a Kamina/Kittan fusion with a side serving of Ryoma Nagare, anyway. But since he is piloting a mech which is nothing short of an Evangelion and can shoot dragon-shaped homing fireballs out of its hands, Ren will have his epic moments too. Probably culminating in him, alone, taking on a bunch of Xanzanko's Praetorians while delivering the "Believe in yourself speech". Or without any speech at all.

So you're going to have two people work in conjunction to deliver said Bright Slap? Just kidding.
Quote from: Ren Gaulen on August 21, 2008, 10:38:54 AM
Ren is more of a Kamina/Kittan fusion with a side serving of Ryoma Nagare, anyway. But since he is piloting a mech which is nothing short of an Evangelion and can shoot dragon-shaped homing fireballs out of its hands, Ren will have his epic moments too. Probably culminating in him, alone, taking on a bunch of Xanzanko's Praetorians while delivering the "Believe in yourself speech". Or without any speech at all.
I think not having a speech would be slightly more badass. But that's mainly because all I think that a swordsman need say to the army come to kill him is "Surrender or die." Followed up by them not surrendering...

one Dark Rider Praetorian (like Krass the Battle Master or Passar the Master of Infinite Blade) is more than capable of taking out a whole army on his own. Going off to face a dozen of these guys is..

It gets better... the reinforcements for that army come up shortly after he's done fighting the first army (and not killing the last soldier because he surrendered and threw down his weapons) and see him sitting on a rock in the middle of a battlefield surrounded by dead (and one living) soldiers. He stands up, looks at them, and then switches his sword to his
good hand. Then offers them the same choice. They surrender.

And personally, I really really like the color scheme of my Nova armor. Ren's suit is suitably badass too.

Chibi Kamina Ren: Now I really like this, but I do have one gripe. I'll get to that later. Right now, I shall heap praise upon you for your anatomy. I still love how you draw your chibis with long limbs and proportionate bodies, as opposed to being small and stubby. Love how you draw your muscles and the chest; actually, speaking of the chest, the first aspect of the picture I noticed was the neat markings on his chest. Good work with those, and the expression on his face, too. Ren's so adorable in this picture. X3 So all-in-all, I really do enjoy this.
The only gripe I have is that I'm not too fond of the background, because, like Tape said, it is a bit overkill. Given the context of the picture, though, it's appropriate, and even comical.

Before I tried to draw chibies as they are usually drawn. But I was not too good with conveying their intended cuteness. So I just went ahead and started drawing not exactly chibies, but rather SD (Super-Deformed, as it's usually called) characters. I still call them chibies, though.

A chibified version of Core with her adopted daughter, Len. And a Zedd plushie as a little bonus! :3
Awwwwww... that's cute! The only way it could be cuter is if Len was asleep and snoozing on Core's head. And a little Zedd plush! Woah... that's getting a little meta for my tastes.
Um, this is actually the first time I think I've heard of these two. Who are they? ... Don't kill me.
They look so nice and happys..So does my plush! And goggle boy you might look back a few pages to find about Core and Len
Right... I remember now! The Fury with the genetic flaw! I forgot all about them. Stupid Jairus! :banghead

i was thinking more of the arcade game, although i don't know if he is big enough to handle the joystick and the buttons at the same time
He can operate the gamepad through the use of telekinesis. Hell, he can just attach his wires to the console for direct control! :B
nowheres near as cute as a chibi doing DDR on an arcade machine to hit the buttons. perhaps chibi keats and chibi zedd can do it instead then
speaking of my brother, he gets TWO chibis? i would ask what he did to earn that, but with zedd that brings up not suitable for work imagery. jarius i knew was friendly with you, so i was kind of waiting for him to get his own avitar, a little longer and people would have forgotten he is not jyjy

I think he'll be fine so long as no one changes his avatar again. Not saying that it wouldn't be humerous if that did happen...

"The essential part", as you call it, is larger than 175x175. If you include the red glow, I mean.
And, personally, I prefer 150x150 as a limit for avatars.
Finally, whilst it's a fine attempt, it just doesn't grab me in that way that indicates I should make it one of my avatars. Sorry, Ren, but there it is.
Well, what sort of things would make it worthy of being an avatar? Sometimes a box is just a box. Simple and to be thought outside of.

Well, time for more characters to appear. This time it is Ren - but several years younger.
Young Chuck Norris Ren Gaulen. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/KirindorRen1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/KirindorRen1.png)
Ren was born on planet Kirindor, in a family of a famous knight from the kingdom of Ithoria. But when Ren was only seven, his entire family was assassinated. Ren's uncle took the young boy and fled to a tiny village at the Southern border of the kingdom, where Ren lived for the next twelve years. And then a young women accompanied by a knight passed through that village. The woman turned out to be a princess from Brialor who ran away from her kingdom. She was looking for someone who knew the lands of Ithoria, and Ren, who instantly fell in love with her, volunteered to help. But, considering how he had not travelled more than a few miles from the village for the last twelve years, the journey was bound to end in a disaster. Until it became apparent that a bunch of mercenaries from the North were hired to kidnap the princess, thus turning a disaster into a total catastrophe.. And so, Ren's quest to resque the princess, beat the bad guys and get the treasure begun!

I originally thought it was going to be kid Ren. My only criticism is that he doesn't look so different to his later self.
Anyway, is this story likely to be told at any point? I'm vaguely curious about what happened to the Princess in the end. I guess he didn't get the girl...

Yes, it is. As for the Princess, he did rescue her. She then became a Sorceress (from a capital letter), while Ren became Sorceress' Knight. Then the Daemon Prince Azriel killed the Sorceress and put her soul into a replica of herself, but with a twisted personality (a psychotic sadistic egoistical Sorceress who can turn entire continents to slag with a single spell is not a good thing). Even later the real Sorceress was revived (and even got her soul back), but to stop Azriel from merging Amaterasu with the Avatar of Mephistopheles she had to merge with Amaterasu herself. So now she is a living Goddess who can shape the reality itself at will. So while the girl is still there, she and Ren cannot really be together now.

Ah, that's about right. I was thinking it would be in his early->mid teens.
Quote...So now she is a living Goddess who can shape the reality itself at will. So while the girl is still there, she and Ren cannot really be together now.
Ah, I was wondering since she hadn't turned up since,as far as I remember. Of course, while Ren was in love with her, it might not have gone both ways anyhow...
Aww... I miss the chibis!
Seriously though, cool teen Ren, Ren: he has no idea what kind of life he's in for. But five years difference between his first adventure and his current adventures? He certainly moves fast. And I wouldn't mind seeing Kid Ren either. How about with a wooden training sword?
definitely looks different without the black highlights on the hair, but i realy did the woven bracers
and jar, i think he may have temporarily run out of chibi subjects

I'll post a picture of Tiare (the Princess, the Sorceress, the Goddess) soon. She actually loved Ren too, but since her ascension to godhood things became a bit awkward. Ren seems to worship her rather than love now, which actually annoys and saddens Tiare.
..OK, time for a new Ren picture!
Ren as an Ithorian knight. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/KirindorRen2b.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/KirindorRen2b.png)
After Ren rescued the Princess from the bad guys and her Sorceress status was revealed, Ren was made her guardian, the Sorceress' Knight, by the Council of the Four Kingdoms. Also he was officially made an Ithorian knight. He got a neat suit of armour, as you can see, and got rid of a crappy Velirian katana. He also wields the mythical sword Samestin that was passed from father to oldest son in the Gaulen bloodline since the foundation of the Four Great Kingdoms. It is also said that this sword was given to the founder of the Gaulen bloodline by Telim Ithoril, the founder of Ithoria himself.
Cool armor and cool sword. All good things. But poor Ren's not going to get the woman of his dream... he needs a pimp coat (http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e143/J-RasZ/RenGaulen1a.png?t=1220295632) to get over his loss!
That actually is a little sad that he doesn't treat her like WHO she is rather than WHAT she is, if that kind of makes sense. Could she just goddess-slap some sense into him?
I like the chainmail effect. A simple, yet effective way of doing it.

She might be considering it. Actually, while Ren has excelled in the field of Cleaving and Smiting Evil, he still have troubles with expressing his emotions. Then again, if he ever comes to terms with his feelings towards her and confesses his love to Tiare, that would happen only in the circumstances similar to the final of the "G Gundam". And result in the Sekiha Love-love Tenkyoken used to obliterate some
Big Bad.

Oh dear. It may not match the epicness of a Bright Slap, but a Goddess Slap would probably have more power behind it. And why is it that most heroes have problems talking about their emotions? Albeit, I'm not asking for angst breaks in the middle of battle, but still...

She will deliver the Goddess Slap with an Angel Arm :B (watch "Trigun"; better yet, read "Trigun Maximum" - Angel Arm is much cooler there).
Why not two Angel Arms? Doesn't Knives do that at one point? (I have not watched or read Trigun, but I do know what you're talking about)
Nah. That's too awkward for a slap. :B And yes, Knives did it in the anime. In manga he didn't seem to have that "cannon" thingie at all, instead manifesting lots of knives blades of different shapes and sizes.
Good point. On the other hand... either you have a long-ranged Angel Arm Cannon slap, or a short-range Angel Arm Blade slap... both of which are suitable epic. Heeheeheeheehee.

Well, it's supposed to be a magitek broadsword for a six-foot-tall human... but I imagine that a kangaroo-rat could handle it as a greatsword or something of that nature.
The drawing is also only six inches long, which explains the low-quality of the details.
Sorry, but it had to be tried.

Fallen Ren (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/FallenRen.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/FallenRen.png)
When Azriel implanted a Daemon symbiont into Ren's body, Ren soon discovered that he had acquired an ability to transform into a Hell Knight - a very powerful Daemon capable of wiping out entire armies of mortals. Being trapped on a desolate planet overrun by Demons (altlings, not the true daemons) and being chased by his own replica created by Azriel, Ren found this new power very useful, but he overestimated his own ability to control his Daemon form, and eventually went on a power trip, just killing anything that dared to stand in his way. He even discarded his sword, thinking that it was now useless to him, since his own Aura Cutter could instantly destroy almost any living creature. A certain Divine named Tanaris proved him wrong, though..
Risen Ren. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/DaemonslayerRen.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/DaemonslayerRen.png)
Tanaris implanted an Angel Heart Core into Ren's body. For a while he lost his ability to transform into a Daemon along with most of his own powers. During this time he had a chance to see how much destruction and pain he had caused before. Rescued by the Demons he had been mercilessly killing before, Ren realized that for a while he had become that what he was fighting against. Deciding to avoid killing at all costs, he went to face his real enemies. But most of the Demons wanted his head now, and to get to the Gateway leading away from this planet Ren had to go through an entire army of them..
Ooh... nice costume designs. I prefer Risen Ren's outfit, though. You've got a whole descent/ascent from darkness thing going here, always awesome. So, he's gonna have to kill an army of Demons to get home? Sounds like fun.
Daemon symbiont? Angel Heart Core? New terms to me, so I guess a little info would be nice, if possible.
Cool. Though I must say that Fallen Ren doesn't look particularly evil, just miserable. Was that the intention, or just the way his expression came out?
Quote from: Jairus on September 01, 2008, 07:42:19 PM

Well, "Fallen" Ren's outfit is inspired by "Bleach", while "Risen" Ren's - by "Shadow Skill". Quite appropriately, too - "Fallen" Ren had a sort of a Bankai - transformation into a Daemon, while "Risen" Ren mostly foucht unarmed, but still carried his sword to use it when the time comes to face the Daemons of Mephistopheles.
Quote from: Jairus on September 01, 2008, 07:42:19 PM
So, he's gonna have to kill an army of Demons to get home? Sounds like fun.
Nah. More like he's gonna beat five hundred Demon warriors led by three especially strong fighters into a near-death state (but due to their natural ability for revival and regeneration they all would survive it). Well, one of the three generals leading that army wanted to avenge the death of his beloved one whom Ren killed during his "Fallen" stage, and when he saw that no-one could stop Ren, he used a suicidal technique "Death of the Phoenix" that used the Sphere of Fire and was supposed to cause an explosion powerful enough to obliterate everything within a mile radius. Ren had no choice but to use the "Celestial Flame" to stop his attack, killing the Demon (and thus defeating Fire with Fire (not really, as "Celestial Flame" is from the Sphere of Light, not Fire, but still..)).

Daemon symbiont?
A symbiotic Swarm Daemon that is implanted into the body of a mortal creature, transforming it into a daemon. Needs a Daemon Heart Core to sustain it, without it eventually devours it's carrier from inside. However, Azri never had a chance to implant the Heart Core, and Ren turned out to be able to produce enough power to support the symbiont without it.
Quote from: Jairus on September 01, 2008, 07:42:19 PM
Angel Heart Core?
Heart Core (whether an Angel (Divine) or a Daemon) is a power source and a core of a Netherworlders' physical bodies, and also a beacon that lets their Astral bodies access the Material plane. The difference between Angel and Daemon HC's is that Angel ones are completely self-sufficient, while Daemon ones are bound to their creator (one of the Gods of the Abyss) and can be controlled by him or his direct subordinates (should Azriel successfully convert Ren, he would have been bound to Mephistopheles and controlled by Azri himself - that was Azri's plan, at least). Heart Cores are nearly indestructible, and as long as they are intact the Daemon will just keep ressurecting. It is possble to banish a Daemon back to the Nether plane though (and trust me - it is much easier than trying to destroy the Heart Core). However, if you manage to destroy it somehow, the Daemon will loose its contact with the material plane completely - until its Heart Core is restored by Hell itself. With Angels it works exactly the same way.

Yep.. There's something wrong with his expression.. :[ Maybe his symbiont is giving him a hell of a headache?
So, in short, lot's of really neat information and a few moments of badass and awesome for Ren. I would accuse him of being a Gary Stu, but I actually like this guy and think that he's sufficiently awesome to counteract my suspicions. He's a keeper!
Risen Ren looks like he's wearing a harness used when rock climbing. That doesn't look comfortable to me.

1- because it goes well with her hair

suddenly the line "..And then Brunhidden was daemons." makes more sense, but thats a whole lot of us talking to ourselves
i agree with the rock climbing notion, the crotch straps really do look like rock climbing gear, it brings unusual emphasis on the area due to a lack of other straps. it has a further effect of me noticing for the first time how little his chest sticks out, his hips project forward more.
More chibi Ren ahead! Watch out!
Senban Zankantou. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/ChibiRensBankai.png)

Ren does a parody of Byakuya Kushiki (from "Bleach") and Zengar Zonvolt (from "Super Robot Wars") at once! While it looks very similar to Byakuya's Bankai, "Senbonzakura", it is actually used to transform Ren's normal sword into the mighty Zankanto, which he then uses to thoroughly Cleave and Smite Evil. >:3

this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLELGbZ1yyw&feature=related).
Awwwww... such a cute little smiter of evil!
Okay, in all seriousness, awesomeness once again abounds in your images. Is the horse a part of the bankai, or does he exist for the sake of pulling off the image? And I was going to complain about the background for the first image, and then I remembered that Senbonzakura Kageyoshi is activated in a completely black space. Silly me!
I'm almost afraid to ask what you're going to do next...
Oh snap!

No, the "Bankai" is needed

Who, Furies? :erk ..Heh, just kidding.. :3 OK, lets see: their horses can fly (or just jump helluva far); they have nothing like eye lasers, but their vision is highly enhanced; sadly, they cannot breathe fire, but they are also fireproof; what ever made you think they shoot lance-like beams of power from their forehead?

They are genetically altered artificially created horses (so they are born in lab tanks). They are as much superior to regular horses as Furies to humans. Unlike Furies, though, Metal Steeds are more machines than living beings.

Oh come on... you know that you want a battalion of Furies riding into battle atop their Metal Steeds, and they begin to fire their forehead beam and their enemies all think "Oh how cute, it's unicorn power!" and then the beam is fired and it tears through the enemy forces like a hot knife through soft butter...
Ehehehem...

Unicorns are similar to usual fantasy unicorns. They were bred by elves as a combat mount. Sadly, unlike Metal Steeds, they are almost useless in big battles where bullets, missiles, laser beams and plasma blasts fly around. But that is in the Realm of Luminosity. In the Karid they are quite popular. But they aren't exactly widely spread.
Zedd was asking me to draw her for a long time now, and finally I have gotten around to do it.
Behold!Geen Lightstar. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/GeenLightstar1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/GeenLightstar1.png)
Another character within the "SoG" universe who was created by Zedd (the previous one was Core), Geen was a member of a Demon clan residing in Lum rather than in the Karid. Forced to leave her clan, she quickly became an outlaw. Federal Space Police was chasing her from one planet to another, but being a demon Geen had her ways of eluding the pursuers. However, her luck had run out when she was encountered by a certain knight of the Asheronian Order (whom you all know well :3). They fought, and the knight won (it was he who left a scar on her face). However, instead of killing Geen, he insisted that she should be given a chance to redeem herself. And Geen was made a Special Agent of the FSP, hunting other Altling outlaws whom regular cops couldn't handle, just like they couldn't handle Geen before. A rebel at heart, Geen was not happy with that at all, but the alternative was not pleasant..
She least has her heath and that's what should really matter of course and excellent job on her with her star blades, She will make sure all must uphold to the law! :3

Well, if you consider fighting a woman with swords and putting a huge scar across her face a kind of professional relationship.. Also, I don't remember mentioning that I was in any relationships with many good looking girls in good costumes, at all. :[ Seriously, though, I do have to deal with good looking girls in great costumes (or in not so great costumes; or withou-), but more often than not they are demon outlaws who usually try to kill me at some point and often end up being killed themselves (by me, or by my allies).

You are getting me wrong (and I used the wrong wording, anyway). Ren does not randomly roam the Federation looking for trouble. When the Order gets a report that a rogue altling is detected somewhere, Ren (as a "field operative" of the Order) is sent there to deal with it (actually, any knight or paladin of the Order may be sent - Ren is not the only one serving there). He really tries to avoid killing anyone, but if he has to choose between keeping the lives of some altlings, but letting some civilians die, or saving the lives of civilians while killing the altlings, his choice would definitely be in favour of the civilians. Also, he does not always go on a mission alone. For example, his comrade Adrian often accompanies him. And Adrian does kill "designated targets" without hesitation. He
is chaotic and bloodthirsty.

He really tries to avoid killing anyone, but if he has to choose between keeping the lives of some altlings, but letting some civilians die, or saving the lives of civilians while killing the altlings, his choice would definitely be in favour of the civilians. Also, he does not always go on a mission alone. For example, his comrade Adrian often accompanies him. And Adrian does kill "designated targets" without hesitation. He is chaotic and bloodthirsty.
Adrian? Aside from a chibi in your Photobucket account, I don't think I've heard of him before. Do you have a little more info, or did I just miss him somewhere?
I'm guessing that Ren is supposed to be Adrian's leash, keeping him in control and taking him down if necessary?

I'll get around to finishing a picture of him soon. Ren and Adrian (full name Adrian Rose) were friends since childhood and grew up like brothers. But then Adrian succumbed to the Dark Side and became Ren's mortal enemy. When he was betrayed by Azriel, he joined Ren in the fight against the Daemon Prince - only to be killed. Even later he was revived with Ren's help. While Adrian has mellowed out somewhat, he is still power-hungry bloodthirsty cold-blooded heartless treacherous backstabbing double-crossing scheming muthafawker. He likes to kill "dangerous prey", and uses his missions with Ren to do it legally. He is clever enough not to do it illegally, though (which saves many innocent lives). A great swordsmen and an even better magician, he is almost more powerful then Ren himself (though in straight fight with swords or without weapons at all Ren would win - it has been proved on practice). Also, Adrian is a great actor and may seem very nice and trustworthy. He is also a smart dresser and a ladies' man. In terms of appearance he is almost like a negative picture of Ren, only slightly more effeminate.

Well, Ren tries to hold Adrian from killing every single opponent they face, but he can't keep Adrian under his control all the time. When they are not fighting Evil, though, it is often Adrian who is controlling Ren, though. Lately he was trying to help Ren in getting a girl, since the "Ren and Tiare" couple seems to have dissolved in the Astral.

Ren seems to be fairly in control of himself from what I've heard... or at least he's gotten control over himself. Does he just not do well in a civilian life any more? And they're still basically friends, right?
Am I asking too many questions?

Yup, Ren has some problems with dealing with civilian life. And yes, Ren and Adrian remain friends. To tell the truth, Adrian seems to slowly change for the better under Ren's influence.
I'm sure when Geen and Ren do meet again..She and him be like "YOU?!?" But mostly Geen is drunkard half the time when she's on off time at the local bar on a space station called the Red Winged Cockatrice Tavern drinking Blackblood brand ale

Realistically, that's what I'd expect (Ren, not Adrian). I guess the thing is that the anecdotes about Ren killing people are more memorable than anecdotes of him
not killing people.
Her outfit looks like it was painted on. If that's your typical military uniform, it's made out of canvas, not latex. Her tunic looks like a miniskirt, too. Also, the braid that goes under her arm should be a lot longer, looser. The way it is now it'd restrict her movement, or get torn off when she did move.
Have you seen that film,
"Snake's in a Box" "Snakes on a Plane"? Neither have I. So I present you "Chibies on a Cake"!

The only comment I want to make is that Lockon's Haro is purely random. Haros just go well with the chibies. And I decided to leave him blue0coloured for consistence (he was orange in the "Gundam 00"). Also, expect him to pop up in other pictures in the future.
I spy a Keaton! Nice work, Ren.
Nice idea with Haro holding the knife and spatula.
YAAAAAY!!! More chibis!!! And so cute... I love little chibi Ren-sama glomping on the cake. And Keaton is cute too.
My Haro has mutinied! No! Actually... should I be concerned that my Haro has a knife?
Heeheehee... Psyco-Haro. If you get that, you get an imaginary cookie.
Nice. I guess Keaton sent you a cake, Ren? Would someone be kind and give a very brief rundown on what the blue floaty thing actually is?
But no Chibi Jairus? No cake for him?

Haro is basically a helper robot from the Gundam metaseries. He's shown up in I think seven shows and a handful of movies. He's basically a little ball who hops around saying "Haro! Haro! Haro!" In the more recent Gundam 00 series, an orange Haro helped pilot Lockon Stratos pilot his Gundam Dynames, with Lockon handling the sniper rifle or ranged weapons while Haro piloted the unit so that his partner could work. This is that Haro, with a new paint job... which means that he's just as awesome as the first Haro, if not more.

Hey Ren-sama, what should we call my Haro? Orange-kun, Blue-kun, Lockon-kun, or something else? I think Orange-kun, just to screw with people (and reference Oranji-kun from Code Geass).

Orange-kun he is. Now we just need to do a repaint of one of your Eva-inspired mecha so that Orange-kun can have his very own mecha... and it needs a sniper rifle of some kind.

And now for something completely different. I present you.. the Panzer Knight, Lowengren type!
Lowengren, "White Hawks" colours. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Panzer%20Kunst/PanzerKnightLowengrenWhiteHawkscolo.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Panzer%20Kunst/PanzerKnightLowengrenWhiteHawkscolo.png)
Lowengren, "Aces of Spades" colours. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Panzer%20Kunst/PanzerKnightLowengrenAceofSpadescol.png)
Lowengren, Scarlet Flash colours. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Panzer%20Kunst/PanzerKnightLowengrenScarletFlashCo.png)
Lovengren, Orange-kun colours. :3 (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Panzer%20Kunst/PanzerKnightLowengrenHaro.png)
Panzer Knights are large humanoid robots used by the Federation's military both for ground and space combat. These are highly advanced machines capable of working in many kinds of environments. They are not very large, but they are very mobile and often carry very powerful weapons. Lowengren model is capable of transforming from the "Strider" mode into the "Fighter" mode, which is capable both of atmospheric and space flight. More over, it's powerful plasmatic engines can let it to reach the escape velocity on its own, while anti-gravity harness allows it to re-enter atmosphere with ease. The four variants of the Lowengren presented here have the same basic armaments and equipment: Nanoswords in the wrists (usable only in the "Strider" mode), two light rapid-fire accelerator guns on the sides of the cockpit (usable only in the "Fighter" mode), several hidden micro-missiles banks (in different places under retractable armour - on the shoulders, on the back, on the hips) and a heavy "Quasar" particle accelerator cannon (attached to the hip for storage in the "Strider" mode, attached from the underside in the "Fighter" mode). The Nanosword works like a usual High-Frequency blade, but it is retractable and can regenerate if broken. The "Quasar" is capable of penetrating even very tough armour and can breach force fields; it also has exceptional range of fire.
"White Hawks" are one of the most famous Terran Space Forces Battle Groups of the last century. "White Hawks" mostly use either Panzer Knights or air-space fighters (of course, they have some large spaceships to get around, and some support machines too). Currently they are busy chasing a Kzel-Sul swarm somewhere in the Frontier.
The "Aces of Spades" are a squadron comprised entirely of the best fighter pilots. They are a part of the "Black Legion" Battle Group, being the "wings" of it. All of their machines are modified by their pilots to enhance their performance even further.
Scarlet Flash is a nick-name given to one of the Aces of Spades, Liah Bale. She is one of the best pilots even among the other aces in her squadron. She has upgraded the reactor of her Lowengren so that in the "Fighter" mode it flies almost
three two times faster then normal models. Also, she uses a Heat Nanosword instead of a normal one.
Lowengren Haro?
Orange-kun?? WTF???
Oh, nice. I like the paint job, though it's more akin to a training aircraft, or some of the re-tooled ex-military aircraft in my 'DOUG the Eagle' universe.
I'm not wholly sure from the description whether these 'robots' are completely independent with AI, or piloted? I'm thinking it's probably the latter, but it's not quite clear.

Well, during the wartime they usually bear dim colours. That goes hor the "White Hawks" (or other squadrons and Battle Groups like them), though - "Aces of Spades" often bear bright colours in battle, as if to taunt their opponents (see
Scarlet Flash (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Panzer%20Kunst/PanzerKnightLowengrenScarletFlashCo.png)).

Normally Panzer Knights are manned (though there are some AI-controlled ones). Pilots of such machines are always cyborgs, and Panzer Knights are controlled through the Mind-Machine Interface (in other words there is no way to control them without a cyber-link wetware implants which involve extensive neurosurgery).
i am impressed that it does manage to look realistic, not like the freaky way that a 'transformer' must be entirely hollow to work or the other plane/mechs which seem to have a cockpit just for crotch jokes
once again, kudos and good job
Nice designs... especially Orange-kun's unit. You know... you could turn that model into an experimental AI controlled one in series.
Nice reference to Lohengrin with "Lowengren," there. And I'll agree with Brunhidden in noting that they're somewhat "realistic" transforming giant robots, especially how the pilots are all cyborgs. Very interesting.
How widespread is cybernetics in this universe? I kind of get that the military uses it a lot, but how accessible is it for civilians, and about how likely are you to encounter a cyborg?

Well, cyborgs are mostly limited to military, because most of the cyber augmentations are mainly used for military purposes. The medicine of the Federation is so good that there is no need for bionic prosthetics, as any organ and any body part can be replicated and transplanted. Simple cyber-links are widely spread among the civilians, but that kind of implants is pretty simple and does not make one qualify as a cyborg. Planetary Strategic Self-Defence Forces don't use much cyborgs either, as soldiers serving there stay in the army for only a couple of years and then go home without ever being in combat, and there is not much need for them to have cyber augmentations. Most of the professional soldiers (or those who are sent into some "hot spots"), however, are cyborgs. By the way, even extensive cyber augmentation is
not permanent - due to the good medicine.
So it's more like cybernetics are used in situations where an unmodified body would not be suitable, such as combat or high-gee force situations? Interesting. And I don't think I've ever seen a setting where cybernetics could be considered temporary: most of the time a cybernetic implant is treated as a permanent fixture, not like something that comes with the job.
Does anybody still remember that I was going to do some comic project or something? Well, I'm still planning to do it one day (if all else fails, I'll convert it into a written story with illustrations - a sort of a graphic novel, I guess)! >:D And to show that I mean it here is a sketch of a scene from a later part of the story. Ren versus Siegfried, Dai Raoh versus Eversor, Good versus Evil.
The Battle of Titans. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/GodFight.jpg)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/GodFight.jpg)
Dai Raoh, with its armour cast off, is on the right, trying to jump punch the hell out of Eversor. I realize that I should have plased Dai Raoh closer to Eversor to make the punch more visibly powerful, but it's kinda too late to change it.. Also, I should remind you that Dai Raoh (and Eversor too, by the way) is a biomechanical construct (somewhat similar to the Evangelions), so don't be surprised that it looks rather.. organic.
Cast off? Oh me...
"Dai Raoh... Cast Off!" "CAST OFF. CHANGE CONSTRUCT." "Rider... Kick!" "RIDER KICK."
In all seriousness, it looks really cool. I have to confess that when I first saw it, I thought it was two people duking it own in powered armor. But a background would fix that right up. Very cool.
Now, how do you draw giant robots...

Aha, I don't think I've ever seen any of your drawings before you've inked them prior to this image. Seeing some of your sketches is very interesting; it gives me a good insight as to how you draw your stuff. >:3
The detail in this picture is fantastic. I really envy the way you draw armor and mechanical suits; they're ridiculously hard for me XD The action poses are great, too; that's another thing I really love about your work. All-in-all, the picture looks extremely awesome.
*pinches your ear* DON'T EVER FEEL BAD ABOUT YOUR ARTWORK AGAIN. :U

Do you ink digitally or manually?
Quote from: Fox LeBlanc on September 06, 2008, 10:32:15 AM

AFAIK Ren's away this weekend. However, he does ink manually.
(Ah. Thank you, Tape.)
Whenever I ink something, I somehow loose a lot of the feel the pencil sketch gave me: Weight, fluidity, the fibrousness of hair, etc. I'm kind of seeing some of that here: I like this pencilwork ten times more then anything else in this thread. Damned if I know how to fix it, but that's my 2c.
If you want the arm to feel like it's hitting with more force, rolling the arm over might help. The palm of the fist would be facing straight down, same for the crook of the elbow, and the shoulder muscles would bunch up significantly. It might make a little more sense for the hit to be traveling downward if he's jumping into the attack.
Also, I've seen it written a dozen times in guides and how to books, you never actually show the punch. You draw the wind up, you draw the follow through and the target's reaction, but you never actually draw the point of contact. It's near impossible to make it look dynamic.
While I was away, I have drawn a little something to get over my funk. This is still a WIP, but I'll try to finish it as soon as possible.
Keaton VS Siegfried. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/KeatonVSZiggy.jpg)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/KeatonVSZiggy.jpg)
HEAVEN OR HELL! LET'S ROCK!!!
Those of you who know Keaton are probably surprised with her having angelic wings. But this is actually a version of Keaton converted for the "Shades of Grey" setting. And there is no Cubi race there. While there
is a race of "professional shapeshifters" called simply Shifters there, I decided to make Keats an Angel instead. She even has a bit of a back-story (fully approved by Keaton):
Quote from: MeIf you remember Zig's back-story, I have mentioned Prince Seth who more or less "owned" Zig for a while, until Zig killed Seth and took his place. Well, even before Zig ended up as Seth's slave, Keaton was one of his (Seth's) agents - against her will. Seth held her younger sister, Lianna, hostage to make sure that Keaton obeys him in all things. And to be extra-sure in it he put a curse ward on her, which allowed him to track every Keaton's move and remotely inflict pain on her. I'm not very certain about how Keaton ended up as Seth's servant yet, but eventually she was rescued by Darius, a member of the "Sanguine" Extermination Group. She didn't want to go, though, since that would have doomed Lianna, but she wasn't given a choice. Much later, when that ward had been removed and she had fully recovered, she tracked down Seth's new hideout, wanting to kill him - only to find out that Seth was already killed by Zig.
Zig didn't know that Lianna ever existed, which meant that Seth has.. disposed of her. Keaton in her grief swore to destroy all of the Demons. Zig became a sort of a Seth's substitute for her (which kinda made sence with Zig taking Seth's place and all, anyway). By the way, Zig himself started some sort of an "Unholy War" against the Angel race at that point. So as he led Demon hordes against the kKingdoms of Men (humans), Keats became a member of an elite "Sanguine" Extermination Group - an Angel task force created for tracking down and killing dangerous altlings (well, Angels are altlings themselves, but they consider themselves superior to other races).
"SoG" Keaton is a bit crazy and totally hell-bent on destroying the Demons (to the point where she may wander off to Cleave and Smite Evil even if she didn't get any direct orders). In battle she uses her impressive skills in Wind, Fire and Light magic, natural Angel abilities and several magical and enchanted weapons. The two curved blades she is wielding in the picture are made of Living Crystal and are dynamically shaped by their user's will (they are also a reference to Archer, along with Keats' outfit), so they may be as sharp as the user wishes. They can also recombine or regenerate if broken. They can also be transformed into a bow that shoots arrows of concentrated energy. The weapons that are not presented here are a longsword which is one of the Nullifier weapons (Nether weapons that
erase magical energy around them) and a revolver (with enchanted bullets).
A couple words on the Nullifiers. Some of these weapons are so powerful, that most Altlings can't stand their very presence. Even Mortals, who are not that dependant on magical energy, and Arcanids who produce magical energy themselves would feel uncomfortable around such weapons (however, there is a sort of Arcanids who are living Nullifiers). Since they erase magic, it's impossible to cast while holding such a weapon (it is still possible to simply discharge magical energy as primitive elemental attacks, and natural magical abilities are not disrupted either). Nullifier weapons usually have some sort of a sheath that negate their effect and keep them hidden and safe for those around.
Looks good to me. Keaton is in fine (psychotic) fettle. I see you've put a lot of work into the setting as well.
Oh, very cool picture, and some neat info on those characters and weapons, especially on the Nullifiers. I've got a similar weapon in my universe, slightly different mechanics but close in function: very cool that someone else uses them. Are you going to color this at some point? I also love Keat's blades. Very cool looking. And that's Siegfried's gauntlet, I presume?

Yep. And it is somewhat similar to the Nullifiers: it is also capable of erasing magic, but it can also drain life of the living creatures, transferring it to the wearer. However, if it remains activated for too long, it starts draining
wearer's life force. It is actually a part of a set of armour once worn by some Lich King or something. :3 It was originally in Seth's possession (the gauntlet, not the whole set), but he gave it to Zig.

Ah, so you have a magical suit of armor/set of weapons/set of body parts as well? Very cool info, by the way. Out of curiosity, does the gauntlet have to be "off" in order for the wielder to use spells?

It does disrupt the magic, yes, but you can still use the most basic Elemental Magic. Oh, and I forgot to mention that neither this gauntlet, nor any of the Nullifiers affect psychic powers.

Ooh... cool. So is the complexity of a spell a factor in the effect a Nullifier has: the more simple a spell, the easier it is to use it? And out of curiosity, aside from the obvious telepathy and telekinesis, what other powers do psychics have in your setting?
its a bit buisy to see very clear for me, but i love the buttskirts, fun fashion, and the way you draw your abs and her chestbelts is awesome

Well, there is an ability to levitate (which is actually also a form of telekinesis), directly control to other living creature's nervous system, create a blade of force that cuts stuff on molecular level,
warp space for pseudo-instantaneous teleportation, or draw
things from your own subconsciousness, give it material form and sick it onto your enemies. To make the story short, psychers can make their enemies' heads explode, implode or get bitten off by a product of their worst nightmares.
Awesome. I assume all of that takes a lot of practice and concentration to pull off, however. And, um, sorry, but I edited my post while you were posting yours: "So is the complexity of a spell a factor in the effect a Nullifier has: the more simple a spell, the easier it is to use it?"

It takes more concentration than a normal person is capable off (it takes years of training and practice to master the art of psychic combat - and physical training is very important too, by the way). And psychic powers rely on your own power, your very life force, so you can easily knock yourself out with them (or even die from complete physical and psychical exhaustion).

An experienced magician can use the most simple forms of magic without any spells or preparations at all, and as long as you don't have to build up magical energy to unleash a magical attack (or something else), a Nullifier won't disrupt it much. If you have to, however, better sheath the Nullifier first, or it will keep erasing whatever you try to cast before it is ready.
Ren. I think this is one of the best pictures you've posted so far. And NO I am not just saying that because Keaton's in it. The whole picture is fantastic, not to mention the background story behind it, but I've gone on about that through AIM, so on to the art.
First off, I loves me some Ziggy Pop. I think you've made a fangirl of me, although he sounds like a true evil bastard. Then again, if people can find Aniz sexy, then I can fawn over Ziggy's abs of steel, thankyouverymuch.
In the picture as a whole both characters have excellent, dynamic poses and wonderful expressions, and there is an amazing amount of detail crammed into this. To put it simply, I can't wait until you clean this up and color everything so that way I can have moar detail to fawn over, since I'm certain more tidbits and nuances in the lineart will surface once it's been tidied. I still think Ziggy's outfit is one of the best character designs I've seen as a whole from you and a good demonstration of your ability to create unique, colorful clothing and character designs. Not to mention it makes him look fabulous. >:3 Another little bit I find very nice about the picture is the flow to Ziggy's ponytail, it seems as though it's billowing out as he leaps into the air or hovers. A similar effect is seen in the loincloth-skirt-thingy he wears. I don't know why, but I find his pose particularly impressive, especially his leg folded inward, tucked underneath his body. Excellent weapon design too, and his expression looks wonderfully maniacal. I love the detail on the individual plates on his clawed gauntlet-glove.
Now on to Keaton. c: As Tapewolf said, she's at her psychopathic best. She looks truly hate-driven, which I think is extremely appropriate, given the background you've provided. Aside from her expression, I think one of my favorite aspects of how you drew her is her legs. I've mentioned before how much I admire how you draw legs and your anatomy, so this really is no exception. They're angled perfectly and they're drawn excellently. The outfit's great, again; I love her chest-belts and the padded armor. Actually, I'm just in a lot of shock whenever I assess her, because I love how you drew her so much. Great blades, too - they're really appropriate for Keaton. :3 This whole picture is wonderful and I can't wait to see it in color.
NEVER PUT YOUR ART DOWN AGAIN.

Yes, that's it. There was something about this, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. The sheer amount of detail is one of the things that makes this special. I'd be very interested to see the full-res version.

The best part about it is that he is not all that Evil deep down - years of abuse, mistreatment, violence and more abuse have twisted him, and for most people he is a horrible monster or a ruthless leader, but to those who are close to him he is a real and very good friend. Theoretically he even fights against the
real bad guys. The problem is these bad guys have such a great public image that everyone takes their side. And thus Zig and his armies are stuck fighting with humans, instead of dealing with their real enemies.

While I'm working on that "Keats VS Ziggy" picture, I am also drawing other stuff - like this picture of "SoG" Keaton.
Keaton the Blood Angel. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/KeatonBJyraneth1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/KeatonBJyraneth1.png)
Since her back-story can be found
here (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php/topic,4158.msg224798.html#msg224798), I won't repeat myself. And yes, that's the Nullifier sword stuck in the ground next to her. It is also a high-frequency blade, which means it cuts flesh and bone like butter.
Awesome outfit and awesome weapon (wow, it really does look like a badass sword). The outfit really does remind me of Archer, so bonus points there: however, now she needs an awesome futuristic bow to fire arrows and swords from. Somewhat stupid question, but how does SoG Keaton hide her angel wings?
Is the red hair a racial thing, or a tweak because it looks cool?
Quote from: Tapewolf on September 09, 2008, 04:10:07 PM

Keaton is a member of a special forces - the Sanguine. It's common for them to paint their hair red. Their wings also look blood-stained, by the way.

While all Angels have wings, their wings are made up of something weird. They can "fuse" through most organic materials or polymers, and they can be completely retracted. Also, the "feathers" of their wings can be extended into long flexible ribbons that can entangle, cut or pierce stuff. The ribbons may differ in shape and size - from tendrils as thick as a hair to wide ribbons similar to Zeruel's weapons (from "Evangelion"). However, these ribbons are not very strong in terms of resistance to damage (they can be made strong to be used for defence, but then they loose their flexibility). However, the more tendrils an Angel creates, the harder it gets to control them.
REN WHY DO YOU KEEP DRAWING KEATON MY HEAD IS GOING TO EXPLODE FROM YOUR GENEROSITY :U
God, you're awesome.
As a weird note, I really like how Keaton looks with red highlights in her hair. I never would have guessed it, but she looks great in red in general. Thanks for helping me realize that. >:3 This is the same outfit I've seen her wear in the Keats vs. Ziggy Stardust (haha Tapewolf) picture, but I still love how she looks. Reminds me a lot of her padded armor you've had her wear in Revenge of the Fridge. Excellent lineart too. Angry Keaton is angry.

Their wings are organic, unlike Angel wings. Demons can kinda shapeshift them to make them appear or disappear, and their wings can't pass through clothes. Also, only more powerful and experienced Demons can create wings. And Draconian Demons have wings naturally.

And more conversions (kinda)! This time it is Zedd!
Zedd. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Zedd1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Zedd1.png)
"SoG" Zedd is also an Angel. However, unlike much of his brethren, he is not hell-bent on the war with the Demons and the total Hegemony of the Angels, preferring to lead a more peaceful life. Of course, when the situation calls for it, Zedd is more than capable of defending himself. He also helps those in need or troubles whom he encounters during his travels, and Smites Evil from time to time. And he has the Sword That Cleaves and Digs to do it! :B
Fear my sword bitches!!~ :U

Out of interest, what's the sword made of? Can he lift it, for example?
By the way, you want to watch the chest... he looks a bit like he's got breasts.
I find it humorous that zedd has the same belts to highlight the boobs that keaton had. i chuckle at my brother, i was not aware he was so pussiant at arms or i would have spoken more of combat to him
keatons hair, nice highlights as others have said, but i am quite more impressed at the unique pattern of white lines on her clothes
and perhaps i will take your advice with the eyepatch, depth perception is a small price to pay for not having everything zoom in and out of focus randomly, particularly with how much i read and view art

Quote from: Tapewolf on September 09, 2008, 07:06:23 PM

The sword is made of steel. Zedd has a couple of enchantments on it - one of them decreases the weight of the sword. Also, Zedd is stronger than he looks.
His voice gives him super strength! :B ..Don't mind that. :sweatdrop
steel alloys vary widely in weight, and a good 'blood groove' can reduce the weight by a third while keeping strength the same or possibly even increasing it.
or you could have easily just called it a 'star metal' sword, making it likely aluminum or titanium based, which can smelt metallic alloys from a meteor strike, although aluminum is not a traditional weapon choice due to the odd way it snaps and bends its one hell of a lot sharper then you could imagine
if the sword is enhanced, would you like to play with runes and whatnot to make it pretty?
Another awesome character and design, and a cool sword too. Not too complicated: I like that. And again with the belts! And don't worry Ren, I fully get what you're saying by enchantments: just look for "Wolkenschneider" closer to the beginning of my thread and you'll find that my setting is no stranger to giant swords that should logically be impossible to wield. And people strong enough to wield them normally... actually, most video games and anime have that anyway, don't they?

Also cool. So, are Angels and Demons two related species in your setting, or what?
Quite the contrary. There are only two things that unite these two races - both of them are Altlings, and both of them hate each other to death. >:]

Good point. I'm an ordinary kangaroo rat with no weapons, armor, or special powers (the only attack I have can only be performed with you). I guess I'll just have to sit and wait and plan...
..And somehow I can already see you with an evil smirk on your face, uttering "Just as planned" under your breath..
Oh great, this means that I never get a drawing of me with a weapon, doesn't it? That you're never going to trust me with a sharp object or a gun? Ah man, you never let me have any fun! *goes off to sulk*

Since her back-story can be found here (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php/topic,4158.msg224798.html#msg224798), I won't repeat myself. And yes, that's the Nullifier sword stuck in the ground next to her. It is also a high-frequency blade, which means it cuts flesh and bone like butter.
... Not to be picky, but if it's a sword like that, wouldn't the high frequency vibrations mean that it cuts the ground like butter, as well?
In which case it'll either sink to the hilt, or fall over...
This ruins the "dramatic imagery", but provides some amusement. ;-]

Good point. I forgot to mention that the vibration generator can be disengaged. After all, if it was permanently activated, it would probably cut the scabbard from inside, too.

While I'm not sure if Jay want's to be somehow incorporated into the "SoG" setting, I incorporated him into it anyway. He would probably be an engineer working for the Federal military and building their Panzer Knights.
..And when I gave him a militarish pimp coat, I realized that he could use a military pimp hat too. And then
this happened.. :eek

:eek
Holy... shit. Damn. I... wow. Dude... I'm speechless.
If you need an engineer character, go for it. I'd be honored (especially since I've got "Ren" in The Covenant Wars). Just so long as I get to use/build a sword or something like that... you know, for self-defense purposes. You never know when the base will be invaded.
EDIT: Never has a Commissar looked so dangerous. Heheheeheehe.
EDIT 2: Normal kangaroo-rat height, right? Why do I get the feeling that I have problems retaining discipline in my engineering bays?
Normally I'd be making an art critique, but I can't think of anything to say that I haven't said before.

Be that as it may, if you take a wall of identical images and modify one of them, you won't be able to spot the odd one out unless you're forewarned, because that's just part of the way the brain is wired. How much information you actually see vs how much is interpolated from the rest is a rather interesting subject.
If you changed the background colour, that would help (sabotage notwithstanding).

Dire Wolf Panzerknecht (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/PanzerknechtDireWolf1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/PanzerknechtDireWolf1.png)
This is a suit of Terran heavy powered armour. Such suits are commonly known as Panzerknechts (I would have called it Panzerklein, but this name is already taken) or just PKs. This particular PK is a Dire Wolf type, modified to be worn by enkidus rather than humans. Dire Wolf is a close combat PK, equipped with a heavy machine gun on the right hand, a high-frequency longsword attached to the backpack, a short high-frequency blade hidden under the shield on the left hand, a homing mortar attached to the backpack and its own mighty fists. This armour has jump-jets and EM propulsion system in the feet to increase the speed and mobility of the soldier, while its armour is impervious to regular light weapons. Dire Wolves are mostly used to eradicate enemy infantry - both armoured and not. They may have additional weapons in form of heavy autocannons, missile launchers, particle accelerator cannons and other big guns for dealing with heavy armour. The power source is a series of nano fusion cells going along the spine of the armour and a pair of high-capacity nano batteries on the hips. When the helmet is closed, the armour is completely hermetic, and it can be used in toxic, radioactive or any other hostile environment. It can also be used in space (but then a different weapon configuration would be necessary). Backpack contains an oxygen recirculation module, so a soldier in such armour would have enough oxygen for 36 standard hours. Without the backpack armour would have only enough oxygen for 2 hours (it has its own built-in Life Support System). It is also capable of minor self-repair. The helmet has a wide array of different sensors and a short-range pulse communicator that is almost impossible to jam.
By the way, the "pilot" of this particular armour is no other than Siegfried Nox. Why a Demon from the Realm of Karid is wearing Terran armour and what is he doing in the Hub (Realm of Luminosity) is a total mystery even to me. But he certainly looks ready to rip and tear. >:]
Dang, dude. I want one.
Again with the incredible designs. I presume Nova armor is nowhere near as heavy-duty as Panzerknecht armor?

Now there's the sort of thing a guy could grow to love. I'd personally want a more badass helmet (headshots and space combat defense) but otherwise I like it. Now all it needs is a beam staff or some other sort of close range weapon.. maybe something similar to the Protoss' Psionic Energy Blades.

Let's just put it this way - PKs are used for big battles with big enemies, while Nova armour is used for covert operations. However, PK is still not as tough as the Fury armour.

As I already said, this Dire Wolf is equipped with two high-frequency blades. Good enough for close combat.

Nothing wrong with that: I specifically designed Nick's Shell units so that at one point I could have them say "Goliath, online!" Now, I'd be worried if you showed us a Ghost next... or would you call it a "Panzergeist?" or "Gespenst?"

Mostly because they are small and lack physical strength. And because they are mostly used for covert operations. Also because enkidu are not too numerous in the Terran military, while the roorats aren't too numerous in general.

Nothing wrong with that: I specifically designed Nick's Shell units so that at one point I could have them say "Goliath, online!" Now, I'd be worried if you showed us a Ghost next... or would you call it a "Panzergeist?" or "Gespenst?"
I don't have Ghosts. Only Cyphers. And I'm going to draw a different model of a PK next. It would be either a Black Jackal or a Flare Dingo.
Ooh... Jackal!

Btw Ren, thank you for re-awakening my love for SC. I just went and fleeced the whole SCII website and re-watched the trailer for it. Man I miss the Protoss.
Incidentally, Ren, are you familiar with the Legacy of the Aldenata series?

Black Jackal, and you have to draw Keaton inside.
A picture I have drawn on Zedd's request.
Rigg. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Rigg1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Rigg1.png)
Here is a description of Rigg, as quoted from Zedd:
Quote from: ZeddWoe to the moments of high stress alitutes and battling a struggle of within evil known as Rigg, A monster of it's own creation to turn angels into demons yet only secretly passed down the bloodline of Zedd's throughout from his great grandfather the fallen King Leo Donsonia. The beast can only can be contanined within the host (me of course) due a long time of focusing true will and only be passed by those who share his genetic code.
As you can notice, Rigg has the same outfit as Zedd (albeit a bit damaged). Zedd's bloodline bears the curse that makes their males turn into a demonic Beast form in a certain situation. The source of this curse is not clear, but it may not be a curse at all, since there are some sings that the Angel High Command led some secret experiments in the creation of a perfect warrior Angel in the past (and it actually continues these experiments even now)...

Now it's time for more PKs!
Hercules Panzerknecht. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/HerculesPanzerknecht1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/HerculesPanzerknecht1.png)
This is a very rare PK that is a joint product of AAI and MAR companies. Basically, this is a male version of the Fury armour. However, since there are only a few of these PKs and each of them is constructed "by hand" (not on the conveyor), not only all of the Hercules PKs differ from one another, they are actually
more powerful than the Fury armour! This particular Hercules is piloted by major Igor Gromov, also known just as Major Grom. It is equipped with two short HF blades, one HF longsword, micro-missile launcers on arms and legs, some firearms that I just didn't draw and enough strength in its power fists to destroy other PKs (or Panzer Knights; or tanks :B) just by punching them. It can also be equipped with a flight pack and some heavy weapons. There are legends going about how this armour has single-handedly wiped out entire battalions, but the problem is that the last major war between humans and humans was approximately 50 years before Gromov was born, so he could not take part in the war between the Federation and the Hegemony. Then again, it is not clear when the armour itself was constructed, so Igor's grandfather could use it during that war. Then again, Igor himself uses it to fight the Kzel-Sul swarms infesting the Frontier of the Federation.
Ooh... cool armor and cool design. Color's are nice too, and the history, and another chance to see what your helmet designs sort of look like. But to suggest that there is armor mightier than the Fury armor...
... that is BLASPHEMY!!!! D:
Still working on Roland.

But to suggest that there is armor mightier than the Fury armor...

Blasphemy..? THIS! IS! SPARTAN CORPS!!!!! D:< But yes, Hercules is stronger then both Fury and Nemesis armour (Nemesis is basically the Fury counterpart from the Hegemony). It is weaker than the Wrath, though, but Wrath is not an armour, anyway.. There is also an upgraded version of Hercules known as Ares, but there seems to be only five or six Ares PKs ever created, and it isn't even clear what are they capable of since they are highly classified.
Holy horseapples
I suppose, being part of the same series, they would tend to look a little similar, but to be honest, as a criticism, they look pretty much the same but with different colours. Perhaps it's just me.

Looking at the others again, I think you're right - it was just me.
i like the idea of a handmade mech, it does have nice articulation, the helmet is sufficently intimidating too. people occasionally forget that a mech that looks intimidating is more useful then a more powerful yet goofy or harmless looking mech
While I am still working on the Black Jackal PK (and trying to come up with a good design for the Burning Mouse >:3), I have also drawn two pictures that I have promised Keaton to draw for a long time.
Tikal. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Tikal1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Tikal1.png)
According to Keats, this would be the first coloured picture of Tikal. And I have a feeling that I have messed up the colouring.. :sweatdrop Well, it's never too late to fix it! :B
Little Tikal. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/ChibiTikal1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/ChibiTikal1.png)
Yesterday I had a conversation with Keats and she said something about those fluffy things on his ears, something along the lines of them being "nibbleable" (yes, that's a word now). It gave me a good idea for a chibi picture. In fact, if Tikal here is a chibi, than Zig who is nibbling Tikal's ear is, apparently, a
Double Chibi!
Nice. Tikal isn't someone we get to see very often. I just wish I could remember what species he is. Presumably jackal, after Keaton, since his daddy was an owl? I had always assumed his fur was yellow.
Ooh, cool. Um... what is Tikal? I mean, job-wise? He looks sort of like a priest of some kind. As for chibi-Tikal and chibi-chibi Ziggy...

BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Don't worry, Ren, these pictures were definitely worth the wait. I love them! >:3 Tikal looks great in your style, although I do apologize for the complexity of his markings :< They're a pain in the ass to draw, aren't they? Especially if you try to make them look consistent despite the fact they're just a bunch of scribbly symbols. But I digress. Either way, I love the pictures. I finally have a color reference of mah bishie baby! XD Thank you so much, Ren. :tighthug
As for the chibi, I lol'd HARD. I can't believe I inspired you like that! XD Tikal looks so neurotic and adorable trying to tug Ziggy off of his ear. Ziggy himself looks adorable. Plus, it's pretty good to see that you're experimenting with shading your pictures. Chibis and more simplistic images are a good way to practice. I can give you some advice if you'd liiiiike...

Tikal is indeed a black-backed jackal, making him a bit of an anomaly since Cubi hybrid children typically take after the non-Cubi parent. :3 I didn't realize this until after the Hybrid Genetics arc, but then I decided, since I liked Tikal as a jackal more, I'd just keep him the way he was and excuse his resemblance to his mother on inexplicably miraculous genetics. Heaven knows we don't want a duplicate of his father running around.

Typically, they take after the Being parent, I thought. I don't think Amber has said what happens with more powerful creatures, yet.
I think the closest she's come to saying is that the child takes after the -weaker- parent, which, in Angel vs Cubi, might well be the Cubi. Or did I miss something?
Is it just me, or does Tikal's expression in the main picture look a little sinister? E.g.
"Ah, the maidens. They have outlived their usefulness. Destroy them."

And now for something
completely,
COMPLETELY different. But first, I want to make it clear that it was Zedd's idea.
Yaoi has won. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/YaoiHasWon1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/YaoiHasWon1.png)
First of all, I want to say that I went through half a dozen of names for this picture (including such as "The
Other Icon of Sin" - those who played "DOOM 2" will get it) and "Yaoi has won" was chosen because it both fitted the picture and sounded funny (albeit kinda scary); it does not imply anything (
it does not >:[). Also, chibi Keaton and Ren popping out of the background were considered absolutely hilarious by at least three people while I was drawing it. Also, I deliberately tried to make the picture as gay as possible (I even made the background pink and added some sparkles :sweatdrop). Also, Zig isn't acting a bit out of character here (Ren is, because he isn't known for randomly screaming "Heresy!"; I am, however >:3). Also, I hope Keaton and Zedd won't fight over Ziggy. :3 Also:

I don't think it's being pedantic. If my (limited) understanding is correct, yaoi would be NSFW, so I think it's a pretty important difference :B
It's "yaoi" merely because "sonen-ai" is longer and isn't as easy to yell (and because I think of these words as synonyms). :P Also, yaoi may follow. :3 (No, I'm not drawing it :paranoid)

I'm inclined to agree.
Shonen-ai (and not Shonen, A.I.) implies yaoi, but doesn't actually draw it. Yaoi is out and out NSFW.

Or do not wear pink. Because they are Real Men, and it is their choice! :C
Quote from: llearch n'n'daCorna on September 16, 2008, 05:51:26 AM
I'm inclined to agree.
Shonen-ai (and not Shonen, A.I.) implies yaoi, but doesn't actually draw it. Yaoi is out and out NSFW.
... not that I'm suggesting Ren draw that, mind.
Even if it doesn't show it, I'm not sure I want that word on my screen at work, just in case someone knows what it means :paranoid
Well I rather enjoyed it...even if um..yeah *hides somewhere*

That is not yaoi. That is shonen-ai/boys love. YES I AM PEDANTIC.
I don't think it's being pedantic. If my (limited) understanding is correct, yaoi would be NSFW, so I think it's a pretty important difference :B
In Ren's defense, this scene possibly
could lead up to off-screen yaoi... >:3
But yes, you are right. Yaoi tends to be explicit; shonen-ai is just eye candy and cuddly things.
In other news, this picture gets my seal of approval for MAKING ME HAPPY. See, I told you that a pink background would work, Ren :3 And I approve of my cameo, for I am so wonderfully in-character.
This...this is not cleaving and smiting! D:

HERESY!!!!
Very adorable, Ren. You know, you should have SoG-setting Ren have an excuse at one point to actually say "heresy," just as an in joke.
And I must agree with Janus. More pink!
utter love

I was going to refrain from saying this as everyone else seems to like the picture, but IMHO it would be a lot more endearing if he didn't have that evil toothy smile.
Actually, now I look at it, the smile is in the wrong place on his muzzle, I think.

Oh come on Ren.... who says work and pleasure have to be separate? I say find pleasure in your work.
Quote from: Mowser on September 16, 2008, 12:19:00 PM

... What the hell are you on?
Okay, I think I see the thing that was bugging me about the image... the mouth is actually at the wrong angle. I've rotated it 45 degrees, and that has improved Ziggy's expression. A 30 degree rotation might have been better, though.
(http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k216/tapewolf/scraps/won.png)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k216/tapewolf/scraps/won.png
Ren, I might point out that even if your image is SFW, the filename is not something I'd like to see in work's logs (fortunately we don't have that logging yet).
This gets my approval. Very much so. The pink background is a nice touch, too. :D
OK, I have considered all of the above suggestions and made some minor changes to the picture. Here's the altered version. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Shonen-AiHasWon1.png) Now, to make up for this picture, I'll draw a KeatonXKaiko one. >:3 I hope anybody remembers who is Kaiko..

llearch, if we ever meet up, I'll see about getting you good and drunk. Until such time, I suggest you try my lunch time beer suggestion. If you can't manage that, go for a scotch 'day-cap' that I always do. Single of scotch when I get in the door to mark the day as done.
Anyways, back on topic. Keats is getting a lot of love in the art department these days it seems. Much love for the Jackal.

She's got a very distinctive-looking character with a lot of background, who's great fun to write for.
Though I must admit, I don't remember seeing much Keaton fan-art before Ren and I did the birthday picture.

I'll put it bluntly - Zig isn't very fond of colour pink. In fact, while he doesn't mind others wearing pink clothes or being coloured pink, he wouldn't ever wear pink unless he has no other choice. But this time he
had no choice.
And now he wants to have revenge.. >:]
Oh great... Janus Ikari. We're all dead now. Meanwhile, up in space, Pink Noonien Soong leans back with a satisfied look on his face...
There are not enough emoticons to tell you how hard I was laughing when I saw it. *applauds* Great job, Ren! And a nice painting job for chibi-Zedd!
Janus looks evil.
No, in fact, I take that back. He looks ebil.

Resistance is futile, Z. You shall be painted plaid. You are on the way to being painted. You have no chance to escape, make your time. Ha ha ha.
Someone set up Zedd the plaid bomb? What you say? :B
Anyway, this should be interesting to see.
Well, here is the picture that should counter the "Shonen-Ai has won" one!

Without any doubt the Emperor approves. :3
Double dose of Keats in this image. Nice.
It's not quite as amusing as the one with Zedd and Zig, but the expressions on Chibi Ren and Keats more than make up for it.
Awww... that's sweet. Two Keats', a Kaiko, and a Ren. I love chibi-chibi-Ren's face: it's absolutely adorable!
Sheesh, Keaton, you're in support of basically everything, aren't you?
Aww, that is sweet. On the critique side, I can't help but notice that Keaton's legs are rather lanky. Nilson is like that too, as I just noticed while trying to 'Cubify him.
Very nice

I see you're practicing your shading again, Ren >:3 But anyway, the whole picture is adorable and wonderful. Keaton looks so kind and sisterly and Kaiko is cute as hell. Overall, the art is fantastic, too - I love the anatomy used on both girls, especially the legs. Yes, I'm still envious over how you draw legs and knees. Not to mention, the recycled chibis in the background are particularly funny to me - chibi Ren is really adorable. Chibi Keaton's return had me giggling. XD
Delightful :3

we cant handle that much pink, it is overriding the testosterone circutry. oh dear god, its happening already!- keatons leather pants have become a frilly skirt, my hair has become infested with bows, and zedd seems to be growing boobs!
i still really dig the little keaton popping up, as does everyone, but the question is where all does she pop up from? sock drawers seem a likely place, but i would probably have a heart attack if she popped out of my coacoawheats

I do believe, given the quote, it is more a Janus Yagami, wielding the dreaded Pink Note. Or would that be the Shonen Note? Either way, as it says... "just as planned". I shall become the (devil?) of the new world! Very amusing, Mr Gaulen, very amusing...

so... much... Pink.
I can almost hear that Macross Frontier song that Ranka sings to calm the Zendraedi "Flights between stars" I think...
Quote from: King Of Hearts on September 17, 2008, 09:38:58 PM
so... much... Pink.
Meh.. I bet Janus would have liked to see more pink there..
Just repeat after me: "
By becoming one with the pink, I no longer fear the pink, by becoming one with the pink, I no longer fear the pink..
I must not fear pink.
Fear is the cute-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total dechibification.
I will face my fear.
I will permit pink to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the pink has gone will be fabulous.
Only pink will remain.
-Pink is not just for show!
-With Pink... 1% becomes 100%
-Victory goes to the one who is Pink!
-Pink Reason to the Curb!
-With Mazinger Z, you can be god or the devil... with Mazinkaiser, you can be pink.
-I am Pink.
-Pink as Planned.

Let us consult the original picture of our fallen hero (http://fc06.deviantart.com/fs32/i/2008/234/7/2/Sun_Moth_by_KeatontheBlackJackal.jpg). Hm... dark orange, orange, and light orange. With some specks of black.
If that mech were made by Mother Nature, it'd be saying "Don't screw with me: I will kill you in ten different ways."

It's because we keep quoting each other, and the longer the chains get the easier it is to screw up. Or we're idiots. Or Boxy messed up some codes. Something like that.

I'm not sure... he could be wearing the armour underneath.
Anyway. The only thing I find questionable is his left arm (right side of pic) which seems a little stiff. Apart from that, great.
Cool! He looks rather like an imperial commissar, actually. :3
Except...
Where is his hat? D:
It may be heresy, but still awesome heresy.
I will also echo Jairus and say the pimp coat does indeed look awesome. Badass with a longcoat, I think the term is. :3

He looks the most Commisar'is of all the previous Commissar conversions I made. Probably because I deliberately went for the Imperial Commissar look this time.
Got any high-tech hammer like weapons for Commissar Sheppard?
I was wondering where the commissars were coming from X3
For giggles I thought I would share my own:
Yarrick (http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c78/ShadesFox/?action=view¤t=Yarrick.jpg)

At some time I want to convert one to be a furry, the hardest part would be the hat X3
And now back to our regular schedule (
Good God, since when did it become a ragular schedule?? 'A'). A comic which is a continuation of the "Shonen-Ai has won".

Umm... I'm not sure what to say. Apart from I'm glad I wasn't at work when I clicked on it. Zedd, someone's corrupted Ren... you wouldn't happen to know anything about this, would you?
And for my part I'm going to have to specify the references to Daryil and Simeon in the comic very, very carefully.
If this Zig character wasn't apparently more evil than has been let on (since I don't read all the insane material you people churn out re: mechs/characters/what have you), I'd almost say he's cute. Almost.
Well, I guess it wasn't death by shonen-ai, in any case. :B

Good point. From the description I was originally expecting Zedd to be a little more deceased.

If this Zig character wasn't apparently more evil than has been let on (since I don't read all the insane material you people churn out re: mechs/characters/what have you), I'd almost say he's cute. Almost.
Oh, Ziggy isn't evil. He's just misunderstood. >:3 Also, I'm surprised that you haven't demanded more pink. :P

I'm currently watching the 2007 OVA of Steel Jeeg. He has an attack called Knuckle Bomber, that shoots his fists at the opponent, By clasping them together. And it can be controlled remotely. I had horrible crossover thoughts from the get-go.

Incidentally, I like how the first panel is done, with the ceiling fan blocking the view. Very cleverly stage-managed.
OK, more random characters. This one was actually made up by Zedd.
Gast Riel. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Gast1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Gast1.png)
Gast is one of Siegfried's henchmen (I hope you still remember that when Zig isn't kissing with other boys he is leading a Demon Crusade against the Angel race?). He belongs to a race of Shifters - Altlings who have highly advanced shapeshifting abilities. Shifters are rather rare, and they often try to hide among other Altling races like Demons, seeking their defence (Shifters are another race on the Angels' "Black List"). Gast's family was completely exterminated by the Sanguine - he survived only because he fled unnoticed by the Angels. Seeking refuge, he came to Siegfried, who was amassing the army of Demons and just mortal enkidu pissed off by humans. Gast quickly became a member of Zig's personal retinue. He acted as Zig's spy, negotiator and, in some cases, "stress reliever". Gast didn't really mind, anyway.
By the way, that skirt thing was worn only by Zig at first. But soon many members of his retinue, like Katoh, Iridor, Kayla and Gast himself, started to wear similar skirts. Later even some of the officers made such skirts a part of their uniforms (not that there is some universal uniform in Zig's army..). Then again, such skirts are actually quite common in Zig's own clan.
Next time: a huge nameless robot man who hates dragons with a burning passion of a thousand desert suns and wields a sword larger than a human being! ..I hope I'll come up with a name for him by the time I post him.. :sweatdrop
Nipples.
that is quite rare in depicting anthro males. Kudos.
Gast is just one those guys willing to serve and willing to listen

Unless it's actually rather short and can't cover them (completely, at least). And long fur would make wearing clothes rather uncomfortable, wouldn't it? :P
wouldn't take much, unless it's insanely short, there should be some coverage there anyways.
edit, i do have one gripe, that you might wanna take heed of, your Character posing.. it's.. somewhat..

I must agree. Actually, 'remove or tone down the nipples' was one of my comments for a Dorcan commission I paid for at Anthrocon (still WIP).
Somewhat.. Indeed, Good Turnsky.
Though I will have to add my self, that your fellows do tend to look rather anorexic at the best of times. You have the basic structure correct.. It just seems to me that they seem to be rather, unproportioned?
poses and whatnot can be worked on, so long as the characters themselves have character. its hard to animate someone who is not animated

Actually I am deliberately cloning that pose (so take the jelly-mould back to "System Shock" :P). I draw these pictures to show some of my characters, and such pictures give a good idea about the appearance of the character. ..But I have to admit, there might be something wrong with the proportions.. :paranoid

That's some sort of a magical tattoo - most of Zig's henchmen have some sort of red markings on their faces and bodies.
Also, a sort of a preview of stuff I'm working on.
A BIG ROBOT FELLOW (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/WapetheDwagon.png) (Who was supposed to haet dragons, but I erased the words that were written on his sword, so his haet for dragons does not show any more. By the way, this robot is actually only two times bigger than a human at most. It's not a giant robot.)
MORE SIEGFRIED "ZIG" NOX (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Youarenext.png) (Or, rather, Samiel. Either way, he's gonna cut somebody.)
The robot was drawn yesterday in an attempt to purge the Pink from my mind. Zig (or Sam) was drawn today in some fifteen minutes, and the way he looks shows that Pink was at least partially purged. :P
...once again the awesome flows from my eyes in the form of manly tears. :C
Ehrm. Does the dragon knight's scabbard say "Law and Order" on it, also? :B
Quote from: Cogidubnus on September 20, 2008, 02:54:19 PM
Ehrm. Does the dragon knight's scabbard say "Law and Order" on it, also? :B
Yes, it does. I think I'll write "CLEAVE AND SMITE" on the blade of the sword, too.
The bad news is that I still can't come up with a name for this fellow - he was drawn out of pure desperation (otherwise I would have been claimed by the Pink with no hopes of recovery) and has no backstory whatsoever. Of course, the fact that he is a sentient construct in a fantasy world and that he looks like that sword is going to end up in some dragon's skull soon pretty much guarantees that his backstory would be cool. However, there is a possibility that he will stop to haet dragons so much by the time I decide what would be his role.
I was going to ask why the sword said "Rape the escrow", but I suppose it could be "Hate the dragon" or something.

That's not an armour guy -
that's a space station. No, wait, that's a robot. And that is not
exactly Zig either - that is his "evil" alter-ego, Samiel. It is not clear now, but it will be clearer when I colour him - Sam's left eye is yellow instead of orange. Sometimes even yellow on black.
And now for something
completely different. Today (or tonight) I present you..
a song parody! It is a parody of the
main theme of the "Transformers: The Movie" (1986) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pEAEqmOnQQ&NR) (sorry for the clip from "Evangelion"; just scroll the screen down if you don't want to see a bloodbath while listening to the music). This song fits so perfectly with "GaoGaiGar" that I had to make a "cross-over". So now I present you
GLORY TO THE BRAVES.
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/More%20Random%20Pictures/Listentomysong6.png)
Something evil's watching over you,
Coming from the sky above,
And there's nothing you can do
Prepare to strike - there'll be no place to run,
When you're caught within the grip
Of the evil Penchinon!
Yuusha-O!
Courage in their eyes
Yuusha-O!
Robots in disguise
Strong enough to break the bravest heart,
So we have to pull together -
We can't stay worlds apart
To stand divided we will surely fall,
Until our darkest hour,
When the light will save us all
Yuusha-O!
Courage in their eyes
Yuusha-O!
Robots in disguise
Yuusha-O!~
Mighty Braves wage their Battle
To destroy the evil forces
Of the Primevals!
*epic guitar solo performed by Mic Sounders (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr6oyFy4oxU)*
It's judgment day and now we've made our stand,
And for now the powers of darkness
Have been driven from our land!
The battle's over, but the war has just begun
And this way it will remain till the day when All are One!
Yuusha-O!
Yuusha-O!
Yuusha-O!
Yuusha-O!
Courage in their eyes~
GAO GAI GAAAAAR!!!!
A few notes. "Yuusha-O" means "King of Braves" - this is what robot GaoGaiGar was often called. Penchinon and the Primevals are the bad guys from "GaoGaiGar". And If you have ever seen this anime, you'll realize how much this song fits.

Ah, okay. Sorry for the mix-up...
...you know, I've got a construct in one of my settings called Mordred. He's one of the Dreadknights, artificial mages that are basically suits of armor animated by souls. Extremely powerful, and at one point a handful were used to kill some High Dragons. How about that?

Dante? Dante is a wuss." Actually, it is more like GODDAMN SPAWN than Dante's DT. Zig can alter the shape of this thing at will. Also, he
bleeds the stuff that forms this shell out of his body. And it is by no means painless (no wonder he looks so angry). You have to pay for the real power, after all.

Um, where did the sword come from?
From his spi You don't want to know. :eek Just kidding. Actually, it is just his katana with the organic nanomachines covering it (what did you think formed the shell, anyway?).

Good point... but I imagine he has to maintain a basic humanoid shape? It's only the "shell" that he can alter, I imagine.

Very cool. Very interesting. Um, blood? Lots of it. More than can fit in a person Ziggykins size. Good point.
with regards to the nipple thing I was aiming more of the contrast as to male and female depictions... but that is mostly by reason of the sexualization of the figure.
Aww... I was hoping the sword was from his spine like that enemy from Gravion who pulls out his head and spine.

While normally I don't post unfinished sketches here, I just can't resist posting this one.
"I am your worst nightmare.." would sound very convincing when coming from him. Ziggy-Pop is not always pretty and cute...
Ooh, Ren's first foray into horror! It works well. Out of interest, why is it done on grid paper?

Actually, while he does maintain a basic humanoid form, it is slightly altered. Not only that, but if Zig has access to enough material to create shell, he can make it so big that it will no longer have to be the same shape as him. Once he created an Evangelion-sized shell in a form of a feral cat. Then again, to tell the truth he hasn't created gigantic shells since then. Or before then. He isn't very good at controlling this stuff yet.
Oh, and one more thing - Zig's blood
is made up of organic nanomachines.

First foray into the horror that I have posted. I haven't posted any pictures of Nether Daemons yet, after all. :P
As for the paper, to tell the truth I do half of my drawings on such paper. When the drawing is inked and I scan it in "black-and-white" mode the grid disappears anyway, and for some reason I find it easier to draw on such paper (but for drawing comics I use blank paper).

Ah... so while he could theoretically make any shell, it's just easier for him to stick as close to his basic frame as possible? Or at least until he gets some practice/training in?
EVA-CAT? That'd be cute... can you imagine the MP Evas petting the kitty? "I will pet him, and stroke him, and call him George." Sorry, old Looney Tunes reference.
Ah... so he's like a Vampire from Trinity Blood? Sigfried Nightroad?

As I said, to make a shell considerably larger than himself he would need an external source of matter - or
a lot of energy to draw the matter from the Aether. And without it the shell would follow the general shape of his body (not counting random spikes, tendrils and stuff).

I know that. But apparently the English translation is going to be Giga Drill Break. On the plus side, it makes it sound like a sort of Limit Break from a video game... which actually kind of matches the power displayed by it.

An actual post about the art. Ren, how did you do the blood writing? I notice the 'E' is identical. Did you make it yourself? If you used a font, could you let me know where it came from?

Jairus looks kinda scared. He actually looks a lot scared.

But then who would stand beside you? What would they be cheering? What would you say? "Heresy! Oh wait..."
Well, I already had a chibi-Keaton standing beside normal Keaton before, so that is not a problem. As for Ren, he'll be yelling something different. I won't tell what. >:3
So what would c^2-Keaton (chibi•chibi, or c^2) be saying at the potential image?

thought 1- looks much like how a snake 'mesmerises' a mouse before swallowing
thought 2- i wonder if he will come up against someone who will fight back a bit, or possibly turn tables and take advantage of him instead
thought 3- wow, they dont really have butts now that i see them from the side
thought 4- heh, more keats fun
thought 5- if those chibikeats are all clones, i suddenly see rows uppon rows of them, punching their fists up while shouting something like 'for the emperor'

Well, Ren would definitely fight back. :3 And then Rio the Wicked will turn the tables on Zig. ..No, I guess it's too early to talk about Rio - I'd rather introduse her when I run out of other characters for Zig to "seduce". Because after the RioXZig Ziggy would need a lot of therapy.

The scene: a comfortable office. JAIRUS sits in a big overstuffed chair that completely dwarfs him, is wearing a big pair of glasses and taking notes. ZIG reclines on the couch next to JAIRUS. This is just a chat to get Zig to open up.
JAIRUS:
Alright, Zig, why don't we start with your chidlhood?
ZIG:
Well, it all started back when I was sixteen...
Something like that?

Well, it actually started since he was like five or six. Ziggy has never been loved much by his clan. :< Of course, by the time Zig was 25-26, his clan's leader himself had to take orders from Zig.. :>

Zedd: May I present Ren Gaulen, Grand Maker of Shades of Grey. And this is Master Shonen...
Jairus: Jairus.
Ren Gaulen: I trust you are going to enjoy your stay. Please... And now to business. You will be delighted to hear we are on schedule. 200,000 units are ready, with a million more well on the way.
Jairus: That is... good news.
Ren Gaulen: Please tell your Master Janus Whitefurr that we have every confidence his order will be met on time and in full.
Jairus: [confused] I'm sorry? Master- ?
Ren Gaulen: Master Janus Whitefurr is still a leading member of the Shonen Council, is he not?
Jairus: Master Janus Whitefurr was killed, almost ten years ago.
Ren Gaulen: [sadly] Oh... I'm so sorry to hear that. But I'm sure he would have been proud of the army we've built for him.
Jairus: ... The army?
Ren Gaulen: Yes. A yaoi army. And, I must say, one of the finest we've ever created.
Jairus: Tell me, Grand Maker, when my Master first contacted you about the army, did he say who it was for?
Ren Gaulen: Of course. This army is for the Clockwork Mansion. But you must be anxious to inspect the units for yourself?
Jairus: That's... why I'm here.

Always watch your spawn closely: you will never know when they must be culled. And when that time comes, you must be quick and merciless! Preserve your place as clan leader!

Well, according to one interpretation of the event, Sifo-Dyas was organizing the army on his own before Dooku killed him and took over the project for Palpatine. The other interpretation is that Dooku killed Sifo-Dyas and then masqueraded as him to place the order for the clone army. So, I propose calling you "Darth Janus," the only Sith Lord who shoots pink lightning and has a pink lightsaber.

What.
the local newspaper had for a long time a section in every sunday where people sent in weird signs they had found- one from almost a year ago that stuck in my mind was one of those little universal symbol for men that had its groinial areas impaled by sharp spikes that had been concealed by water. the sign included a smaller sign beneath labled 'beware of groin height spikes'
i believe the explanation ends with that being a very bad place to swim

I'd find that adorable if it wasn't for the fact I'm deeply concerned about her choking herself. XD But the upside of that is, if she ends up wearing a leash and collar, Brun, it'd be easier to follow the energetic 3-year-old around.

she started with 'bungee fish', the leash was elastic. all kindsa fun till the elastic broke

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TengenToppaGurrenLagann), one of the most awesome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurren_Lagann) things to ever exist. This is a universe where the giant robots are literally powered by hot-blood and awesome. Many consider it to be the cure to Neon Genesis Evangelion Syndrome, aka Whining, Angst, and Wangst. It also has the honor of having what is probably the biggest giant robot to ever exist.
Here's an example. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=814kFnDy3rQ) And here's another example: warning, death-related spoilers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygU8HjdFl-0). And yet a third: more spoilers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goflut4iEAA). And here's an AMV that's pretty close to how awesome Kamina is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKGpCmvGTwU). Hope this helps.

Don't get me wrong, TTGL is a great show, but it's the sort of overhype that Jai gave up there that made me initially quite contemptuous of the show (as the saying goes, I Got Better). Why aren't people content with just saying it's awesome and/or entertaining? :P

Okay, I admit that was a little over the top (in theme, but a little over the top). I was also reacting to the image, and those are exactly the words that entered my mind when I first saw it. That, and the fact that Jyrras looks terrifyingly badass is awesome in and of itself. Now, if I was overhyping it, I'd say that TTGL is the greatest thing since the big bang and pwns all other things in existence and if you don't agree with me you are the anti-spirals and must be defeated...
And it is both awesome and entertaining. So, sorry if I felt a little overhyped, but the picture did hype me up.
As I promised, I am posting a picture of Jyrras as Simon from "Gurren-Lagann". I tried to merge Jy-Jy's and Simon's names, but couldn't decide which variant I liked better, so I used both and called him Jymon Sirras (though now that I think of it, this name sounds fitting to some mercenary or bounty hunter..).
Jymon Sirras. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/JyrrastheDriller1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/JyrrastheDriller1.png)
Next time, expect Daniel Kamina! >:D
I like both the drawing and the names. His hair looks a lot more logical to the setting, and he looks more... shall we say "innocent..." when compared to the Gryphon-Lagann picture. Definitely a precursor to that image. Can't wait to see Daniel Kamina.
Um... this isn't good or bad, but the outfit under his jacket kinda sorta reminds me of CC's bondage gear from the early episodes of Code Geass.
Damn. I want that coat, and I want Jyrras Highwind's outfit. Is that weird? Oh, who am I kidding, yes it is.
Admittedly, I was hoping more the young Simon's outfit with Jy's... miniature stature.
still cool tho'

looking sharp... why couldn't it have been jyrras doing cosplay, we have no evidence to support that the DMFA universe has no Anime, In fact the existence of the fae race implies that they can get swag from all over the multi verse
Just as I promised,
Daniel Kamina! (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/DanKamina1.png) I tried to make a mix of Dan's and Kamina's hairstyles, and I also tried to replicate Kamina's tattoos. However, I lost Kamina's shades somewhere along the way.. :.

Cyttomander will be Albanion, and Adiane will be Kria. Also, Biggs as Guame. :> The last general, Thylmilth, will probably be Berserk Aliyka.

He's definitely recognisable as Dan, though I can't speak for the other guy.
Now, as for critique, I can see a lot of things which could be improved in the shading, and to be honest, the lighting in general.
Firstly, I think you may be following the edge of the image a bit too much rather than the actual contour of the body (that I'm hopeless at doing that is why I rarely shade figures).
The shadow cast on his feet is nice, but the fact that his whole body is casting a shadow makes it look a little strange. IMHO, it might look better if the shadow he was casting went the other way, though you'd have to remove the sun. The shadow should also bloom outwards to follow his trousers (I'm not great at doing that myself).
As for the sun, that's the Supernova effect, is it not? Try setting the number of spokes to 0 or 1, and tinting it yellow. That will give you a ball like the plasma effect in the Project Future communicator.

Some weird guesses there.. Kittan, Rossiu and Dayakka you got right. But Lorenda as Yoko? No, thank you.. :erk Yoko will be Alexi. Kittan's sisters will be Shanna, Anna and Hannah. Boota will naturally be Deebs. As for the Anti-Spiral, Ink is a good choice, but I thought about Mab the Anti-Spiral.. Oh, what the heck Mab would make an excellent Nia! :3 Wildy as Attenborough is not a bad choice either. However, I still seem to lack Leeron. As for the rest of the cast, I have not decided yet.

Xander could be one of them (and if he becomes one of the pilots, it would pretty much guarantee that he kicks the bucket).

I decided to take a small break from making DMFA/TTGL cross-over, and finish one of my other drawings - the Robot Fellow (who, thanks to Cogidubnus, even has a name now :3)!
Ascalon Ironheart. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Ascalon.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Ascalon.png)
First of all, Ascalon is a robot and not a human (or anything else) in a suit of armour. He belongs to the race of Anima Machina, sentient robots that were created by the Ancients countless aeons ago (then again, Anima Machina is so old that they can be considered the Ancients themselves). Currently Ascalon resides in the Realm of Karid, on the same world as Siegfried. So far Ascalon has acted as a mercenary working for humans and carrying out extermination missions against Demons, Chimerids and any other monsters that threaten humans. Ascalon utilises both highly advanced weapons and arcane arts. In fact, his sheer power would allow him fight an average dragon one on one and win.
Very very awesome, Ren. Out of curiosity, do he and Ziggy ever meet?
I do have one minor complaint: the dark background makes it a little harder for him to stand out... or maybe I should get my eyes checked. It still looks really cool: it kind of looks like he's taking a job from the Creature Council or something, standing in a darkened room in the middle of the only (well, one of two, counting the Phoenix) source of lighting.

..Ink will heal you in your sleep..
That is all around awesome, especially the tail and the coat and the tail in the wind. Not to mention I love everything about the head; ear placement, hair, and the face at that angle.
But... the wings! Gah... no offence, but wings really don't look like that. I suppose you could say that's just the style you draw them in, but style has it's limits...
Very awesome pic, tho.
By the way... (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php/topic,4729.msg235423.html#msg235423)
There's something about Ink that just disturbs me, but that's neither here nor there.
I like the way the wing is translucent, but I have to agree with Fox NaBan (or whatever he's calling himself this quarter :P ) that the wing structure is a little off. I think what bugs me is the way they'd attach to his back coupled with the way they're spread out behind him - I'm convinced the next picture will be of him lying in a heap because he's overbalanced >:3
The tail has a point like a sting - is that intentional?
The lightsourcing works well, I have to say.
The wing looks like it's done in somewhat of the same style of Amber's to me, except it's just bigger. In fact, it looks almost exactly like the kind of wings my Mechangel character in the Honor Circle RP would have, since he doesn't have magic to help him fly.
Read: I don't see anything wrong... :B

I'm not so concerned with the shape itself, it's more the proportions and the angle. I don't think I've ever seen Amber do that - wings on her characters tend to either be folded up or stretched out sideways. I'm not sure they can stretch backwards like that at all as she draws them, at least.
First of all, there is only one wing you see - that should have already made you think that there is something special about it. Second, it is transparent, and you can't even see where it is attached. In fact, it may be a "Shades of Grey" conversion of Ink - then he would probably be an Angel, and "SoG" Angels have semi-immaterial wings. Third, the tip of the tail really looks too sharp. :.

QuoteSecond, it is transparent, and you can't even see where it is attached.
True, but you can extrapolate it easily enough.
QuoteIn fact, it may be a "Shades of Grey" conversion of Ink - then he would probably be an Angel, and "SoG" Angels have semi-immaterial wings.
Fair enough.
Amber's wings have much smaller 'limbs" and big feathers. They're closer to real wings, but even they aren't spot on (the giant fluffy knobs on top throw me off).
My opinion, which I usually keep to myself because I don't want to sound snob, and hesitate to mention even now, is that people should learn how to draw something realistically before they stylize it. Or at least pay close attention to real life examples when developing a style (especially when considering the natural poses of a wing). Without an understanding of the real thing, a stylization is unconvincing. I'm not one to tell someone how to go about their art, though, and I don't think this is really necessary unless someone is uber-hardcore about their work.
Besides, if people demanded to be perfect and exact about every aspect of their work, no one would ever finish anything.
By the way, I don't think of the fact that you can't see the base of the wing, or that there is only one, a fault. I think it's kind of cool the way it is. Not showing the root makes the coat look better, and doesn't obscure his back. Showing the opposite wing isn't really necessary, and would further crowd the composition.
Well, I don't have much to say. I think it looks great, and it's an awesome picture of Ink, though I think a strikethrough on Mercy would be pretty awesome. Or creepy. One of the two. He does look ready to kill someone.
So, he's currently a one-winged angel? Hm...

I really like his coat, from the design to the way it floats in the wind...
I read in a book about various beliefs on angels from multiple religions, and one thing in there was how wings would actually appear on a anthropomorphic form. Turns out if someone six feet tall was to have wings the wingspan would have to be at least 24 ft due to average weight in comparison to wing size. I've always liked wings and stuff, and ever since I read that I've pretty much disregarded anything to do with realism and wings. :januscat

To make things worse, the anatomy of having wings attached to your back would be damn near impossible. Additional layers of trapezus... trapesus... trapeseus... back, deltoid, and pectoral muscles would be required, and I couldn't conceive of how the bones and muscles would all attach.
However, this is fantasy. It's all good. I usually make the limbs the same size of the arms (Hence why I had to spend a month trying to figure out wing bone structure), and the feathers fill out the size nicely.
Tape/Ren: Trench=bad-ass. So it is written.

not to mention we all have nametags
Commissar Cross looks pretty dang awesome. Great outfit.
No Shonen-Ai makes me laugh. If I had guys my age hit on me it probably wouldn't be so weird for me, but the last guy to do so was over 30 years older than me. :januscat
Even though I was going to colour Commissar Cross next, I ended up drawing more sketches instead. Here is a couple of them.
Briareos. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/scanBriareos.png) Crush And Smite!
Saint Michelle. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/scanSt_Michelle.png) Cleave And Smite!
I'm not entirely sure about Briareos, since he was created in a spur of a moment, but St. Michelle is actually a giant manned mech, piloted by Riona Rylendt. St. Michelle is constructed in such a way so that it would be able to channel and amplify Rio's power, and it can single-handedly take out an entire army. It has several "built-in" weapons, among which is the Total Annihilator weapon installed in its head, Swarm Plasma Missiles launched from the shoulders, Photon Cannons in the palms and the transformable wings that can extend multiple flexible ribbons with razor-sharp edges. And, of course, there is always a huge sword for when you absolutely, positively need to cleave and smite your opponent.
Don't forget that there is a couple of new sketches in the previous post!
A couple of sketches of one of my older characters, Riona Rylendt, who was created before I got into the furry stuff.
A big girl with a gun. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/scanA_big_girl_with_a_gun.png) "I am a big girl, yes I am, and I've got a big gun. Got me a BFG and I, I'm gonna have fun.." I'll probably have to erase the "big gun" in the final version, though - no way she can stand like that with that thing hanging behind her. Then again, Rio doesn't have problems with defying gravity when she needs it. :shifty
Saint Anger. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/scanSt_Anger_1.png) "RIP AND TEAR!!" Or, alternatively, "RIO SMASH!!" Don't make Riona angry. You won't like her when she's angry..
Query: Do you find using graph paper helps you keep things square and round and proportioned (and/or some other fancy words). Or it is just what you have on hand. *Is curious*
And good jobs all around on the latest art streak, they all look mighty fine by my eyes.

I really don't know why I use graph paper. I guess it really helps me keep the proportions right. And thank you. :3
Finally, the picture of Commissar Cross is finished!

I tried to use a new shading technique explained to me by Tape here, but it's hard to see it here. :< Still, I'm happy with the way it turned out! :> I hope you'll like it too. :3
Ohhhhhh yeaaaah. I -love- the face of this one >:3 He's not in the same pose as the other Commisars, but oh well.
The image looks much sharper, too.

In my opinion, this is probably the best Commissar picture yet. I love Cross's uniform to pieces. All of the little details are so intricate and meticulous and Cross looks appropriately sinister. I'm practically at a loss for words. While the shading is a first-time thing for you, I think it's pretty successful so far :3

THE EMPEROR HAS BESTOWED THE AWESOME UPON ME ONCE AGAIN! PRAISE THE EMPEROR!
Burning Mouse and Pulsar Kaiko. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/scanBurning_Mouse_and_Pulsar_Kaiko.png) I have finally sketched Jay's personal powered armour. It is completely different from its early concept. It is XBOX HUEG and is capable of destroying even heavy armour. Respect it. And respect Jay who have built this thing. In a cave. With a box of scraps. Kaiko, meanwhile, is showing off her own form of personal defence. She, however, is a firm believer that the best form of defence is offence. Her modified body can transform in several different forms. This is the Pulsar mode, armed with phase blades and a graviton rifle.
*looks in awe*
If that thing is colored and finished in the same way Commisar Cross' was, that would be an awesome overload.
Also: gotta love XBOX HUEG :3
BRING IT ON!
ATTENTION! I HAVE UPDATED THE BURNING MOUSE PICTURE! IT IS UPDATED WITH A NEW CHARACTER! FOLLOW THIS LINK! (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php/topic,4158.msg242314.html#msg242314)
:boggle
Wow, Nii-san...
That's amazing! Kaiko looks great too: I don't think I've seen much of her! Who knew a roo-rat could look so badass?
As for the Panzerknecht: It's Iron Monger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Monger#Film)! Or a Terran Marine from Starcraft. Either way it's just freaking awesome! And we know that Jay is totally wearing his version of the Nova armor (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php/topic,4158.msg214252.html#msg214252) underneath it...
... you know. Just in case some bad guy tears the Burning Mouse apart. So he's got a backup.
Anyway... great designs, and I can't wait to see 'em finished, bro! *hugs* Thanks!

While I do love the armor you've given Jairus' character, I think I actually like the style on the other better. Powered suits like that always struck me as way more cool. Hard to be subtle when every step you take not only shakes the ground but also has the potential to flatten smaller, innocent lifeforms. Now the smaller stuff like the power suit that Kaiko seems to be wearing makes more sense. Stealth is possible and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't leave something like that without a few tricks.

Did you follow the link to the Nova (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php/topic,4158.msg214252.html#msg214252) armor? Jay's wearing his own version underneath it. It kinda looks like this, just not in SD/Chibi form (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php/topic,4158.msg219569.html#msg219569). It's just that Burning Mouse is designed to kill EVERYTHING, while Nova in Jay's is more of an escape and defense mechanism that can fight back. Don't worry: eventually we'll see Jay in J-Nova armor. I think.
And I like the slimmer suits too. But roo-rats really aren't intimidating unless they're in some massive suit of armor like the Burning Mouse... or at least I thought until I say Kaiko.

Yeah, I've seen them. I personally would opt for a more offense oriented version with possibly a method for either short range flight or greatly enhanced speed. He who fights and runs away and all...

Girls' Night Out. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/scanGirls_night_out.png) "A Cyborg, an Angel, a Seraphim and an Elf walk into the bar.." Not funny, I know. Here you can see Kaiko, Keaton, Riona and Iris at some bar, with Lucky (Zedd's character) as a barmaid. Poor Kaiko seems to be both embarrassed by the fact that her companions are acting, well, retarded, and annoyed by the fact that some baldskin chick is stealing her girlfriend. :3
Erril Narin. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/scanErril_Narin.png) Just a sketch of one of my characters, Erril Narin. Yes, everyone and their dog has some sort of a powered armour in my setting. :P

The dog-girl is not Zedd, but one of his characters. And Kaiko is indeed a cyborg.
i have to remark that zedds characther looks great in a miniskirt, they all have exceptional hair, the second to the right i am impressed by her eyes, and i feel like i am missing out on fun just by looking at this
also, now i wonder what the powered armor for a druid would be......

She
is a husky, or at least some sort of a canine.
zedds full bio states she was a custom made mutant- the first of a new kind of hermaphrodite with no penis (don't ask how it constitutes as a herm anymore) originally used as a kind of pet/toy by the Japanese mafia
thus- not really dog to be honest, two tails, funky sexual traits you are better off not knowing, and now ren will be the only one left out while everyone else enjoys stylish dinglebells :p

I should have made a point of details of her backstory not appearing here, Brun.. :erk
sorry
at least most of her freaky stuff is still on a need to know basis.... herm is at least vital to the definition of who/what she is and custom mutant was on the topic of 'what species? - none'
again, sorry, i was not informed it was to be kept secret. would you prefer i delete that post and say some drivel about how her hair reminds me of someone?

Nah, I fear it is too late. :eek I personally just pretend that I know nothing about what she is, and only know what she looks like (besides, Zedd's version makes no sense whatsoever - she is 100% female, and her being a mutant does not cancel her looking like an anthro husky :P).
shes more compliant with the 'zoo city' comic done by the guy who helped zedd create that specific character. outside of that setting the 'mutant' part has less meaning although it can still come across as 'weird, little freaky' which is also acceptable
honestly, zedd gets a buttload of his characters drawn, does he use puppy dog eyes, begging, bribing, or shameless flattery?

"Mutants" in the same way as mutants in "X-Men", right? But since she turned up in the "SoG" setting, she is really just a little weird at most.

Aside from "they," the English language doesn't have a gender-neutral pronoun other than "it." And I've been marked down on occasion for using "they" in an essay. Anyway... how about calling Lucky a "she?"

Reminds me of the fate of the fabled army of Commissars, though. They did fine until one of them sneezed, which of course sparked a witchhunt for
weakness, which of course caused them to commit heresy for not combating the enemy in front of them. It ended up that they all executed each other for heresy. :<

He's got lips. I can see them on my monitor, but Ren had some difficulty seeing them. I said it was fine when he asked me, so I guess that's partially my fault. Try the larger image.

There's a multiple-choice text adventure of it which really cracked me up years ago, I can probably provide a DOSbox version of it if anyone's interested.
While I have the 2nd Edition rulebook, I've never actually played the game. However, if anyone does start one in the RP area I'd join like a shot.
As I understand it what usually happens is that the mission goes completely tits-up and the players start executing each other as traitors. Often they don't even get out of the starting room :P

I've always wanted to see Paranoia run on the forums. Nice thing about Paranoia is that it is actually better if the players don't know the rules. That is why I intentionally avoid learning the rules.
And tape, you totally need to put something odd in the source for people who do 'view source'.

Heh. I just went and ordered two books from amazon - Paranoia XP and Paranoia XP: Sector Zero.
Obviously, I never had those books, even if they're found on me, and I'm not cleared for them, so the RP won't ever start.
Or will it...
Just so you know llearch, the slogan for Paranoia XP used to be, "Upgrade is mandatory citizen!" until they got the evil eye from Microsoft.

I did a game of Paranoia, once. I was pretty good at lying through my teeth, but I was pretty easy to bump off.

Considering how Ren references Zengar from time to time, it's more possible than one may think. :/ ..I should have drawn Ren in his coat, which is based upon Zengar's. :B
Looks good. You can definitely see the family resemblance.

Big spoon, little spoon?

Quit blocking my periscope, then.
They do look cute, though I question the family resemblance. Adopted brother? Step-brother? Brothers of the spirit rather than the flesh?

Actually, it is Zig's own clothes on him. They are just coloured slightly differently. You can notice that he is wearing that belt from his manskirt (and the manskirt itself, naturally), too.
..Then again, I'm not entirely sure myself.. :paranoid
Well Gast didn't have much clothes of his own but his orignal ones was ragged
Nice details on their clothes. :januscat

Faust. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/Sketch_Faust_1.png) His outfit may change in the future, but I think I like this one.
Arilana. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/Sketch_Arilana_1.png) The fluff on her coat is supposed to be made of something like feathers, by the way.
Katoh. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/Sketch_Katoh_1.png) Hierophant's Green! Emerald splash! ..Kakyoin is spinning in his grave right now.. :shifty
Jayce. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/Sketch_Jayce_Wallace_1.png) Ren's squire! He exists!

Edward Elric Jay. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/Sketch_Edward_Page.png) The Fullmetal Technomancer.
Ysanne. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/Sketch_Ysanne_1.png) Her coat is made from the pelts of her enemies.
Interesting!
I like Faust's outfit the most, I must say. But, of course, outfits is what the Ren excels at. Very nice stuff, sir.
I like these quite a bit, but it's time I say...
DANGIT, REN! STOP POSTING SKETCHES THAT WOULD BE SO MUCH MORE AWESOME COLORED! YOU ARE DENYING US TEH AWESOME, YOU CRUEL, CRUEL MAN! :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O

This may be my fault to some extent - the comic has to be finished ahead of schedule this week, otherwise we'll either have a crappy update or none at all until Monday/Tuesday.
It's a nice selection of sketches, though.
Thanks, everyone! :3

Interesting!
I like Faust's outfit the most, I must say. But, of course, outfits is what the Ren excels at. Very nice stuff, sir.
I actually made a serious mistake in his outfit's design. It was supposed to look somewhat militaristic, but it does not.

Honestly, I'll have to agree with Ren on this one. The pencils always seem to have a certain quality to them, they're more energetic, fast, and loose.
I've been trying to get better at inks, and I've found that varying line weight counts for a lot. Heavy lines implying shadows, thin lines implying whispy strands of hair. Loosening up my wrist for better looking curves, that sort of thing. That's why I use steel dip pens, instead of markers (i.e., Micron pens), 'cause I can control the weight with pressure more precisely (And I don't feel like paying 5 bucks for what amounts to a brand name Sharpie). Some people like to mash the marker for thicker lines (take a look at Wapsi Square), but I find that less precise then I'd like and it destroys a 5$ marker in short order.
Cell shading and coloring might be making things worse, since it's easy for things to end up looking like flat plastic unless you really pay attention to texture and lighting.
If the tip of the marker is curved, you can adjust your line width by adjusting what angle you hold the pen to the paper.
That may or may not be usable, of course, and people will do what they want anyway, but that's how I'd use it...
I've seen chisel tipped markers that were 2 mm wide and about .3 mm thick, you could probably get some real variation with those too. Always meant to try one, but by then I was off Microns.
one can get the tapered look with some skill in the use of pigment ink pens, (Microns, Zig Millennium, etc)
alternatively one can also invest in a graphics tablet, and digitially recreate the effect in whatever image editor you prefer to use.
line variance is key, yes, but remember kiddies, it's not the tool that makes you a better artist, it's the practice and skill that goes in its use. :3

And, If I forgot to mention in my Fully-Ramblomatic post, I do like the sketches. Jay's probably my least favorite, but only because I think his outfit could use a little sprucing up. Despite the fact that her ruff looks like fur rather then feathers, Arilana's probably my favorite. Your cloth looks really good in the pencil stage too.

Though I have to admit I'm not sure whether I like Katoh or Faust more. Katoh has what looks to be a very interesting ability/power but Faust certainly has his place with his. That and I have to say I like Fausts outfit too. Particularly the gloves/gauntlets.

Thanks. Katoh's power is to summon a Shivar - a Frost Elemental that can fight in his stead. Shivars aren't particularly tough, but they have some nasty ranged attacks and can freeze their foes to the bone. Katoh is also quite good with Frost magic on his own. As for Faust's gloves, they can generate a sort of a force field that can block incoming attacks or create blasts of telekinetic force that can push objects from some distance. He can also use a so-called Pressure Cannon (
will anyone get the reference?) by bringing his hands together and building up a powerful charge of telekinetic force between them. He can then launch it as a sort of a hyper-sonic blast that smashes and blows apart everything in front of him. This weapon has a somewhat limited range (about 20 metres), but at close range it is truly devastating. ..Actually, Faust got some other weapons and powers which would make giving him these gloves too a bit of an overkill.. :paranoid

That was my initial guess, actually - if so, he's only going to be able to do it once a day or something without the strain killing him. Which if true, would be a nice way of balancing it because to be frank, it's a horribly powerful-sounding weapon.

Actually, these gloves are made by the Quath-Zheal masters who create artificial silicon life, living crystals which only purpose is to create and direct psychokinetic energy. They in turn are controlled by the mind of their user. And they are tuned in such a way that only a person they were created for would be able to use them (powerful psychers can override it, though). They are powered through a series of nano-batteries which are in turn recharged either from some generators of magical energy or by the power of their user. There is a way to channel your power directly to the crystals, but it can damage the whole system. So normally they would work as long as they have power in their batteries, and you'll have to take time to recharge them when they run out. At their full charge Faust would be able to shoot the Pressure Cannon three times before the energy runs out.

Well, his gloves are supposed to be a very powerful weapon. The thing is, there are some individuals who can just shrug off such an attack as if it was nothing. And there are weapons that would make these gloves look rather unimpressive, too..
Well, I'll post some coloured stuff for a change. :3

(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/SimonPFyyar.png)
Simon P. Fyyar may look young, but he is much older than he looks. Currently a governor of a minor planet in the Outer Sphere of the Federation, he keeps prolonging his life through some unknown means. Shunning human company, he preferred to surround himself with robotic servants. He is always followed by his robotic panther Zova, who acts as his bodyguard and seems to be his only friend.
This character was created by Zedd, by the way.
:dribble *drools as Ren's Awesomeness overloads senses*
Day-um, that is SEXY. Very nice work here. I can't think of anything to say that would do this justice, but I'm sure Keaton will ;) Two little nitpicks though; Shouldn't the leash be pink, and shouldn't Ziggy be grovelling on his knees? >:3
As for the other one, that is a serious-looking guy with a serious-looking panther :.
Oo, I like the panther. More emphasis on realism than with Jakob's panthers. Then again, his were designed to patrol airbases. I'm kind of curious if the creature is considered male, female or gender neutral, and also how smart they are.
Keaton turned out well, by the way.

You know.. on good terms or not, I still don't think that Ziggy there would be standing or have his hands on his leash. That's just asking to be punished for bad behavior.. or maybe that's the point. :.

And if you posted an attempt to draw an armored character, I'm sure we could give you advice on it.
It's a pretty good rendition of the character, actually. A friend of mine lent me some DVDs in the series a few years ago (And... I still have them and haven't watched more then an episode or two yet. I should get on that. Eventually)
The pose is a bit stiff, especially the legs and the arm on the left. His feet don't really look like they're supporting his weight, and his right ankle should be off the ground. His arm might look better if it were turned, or the elbow were bent somehow.
The look of the armor itself is spot on, however. It makes him look somewhere between a cyborg and a robot. The lines and shapes are organic, but clean and ordered. The head is really alien, too.

Sorry... won't happen again. At least, I'll try not to let it happen again. I didn't mean to make it a rebuke or anything like that.
Keats looks cool. Very dynamic. Hogs don't usually have a lot of clearance between the rear wheel and the mudflap, though, since they're for highway or inner city driving and don't have a lot of suspension. Kind of a moot point when you consider the bike is cool regardless.
Deep Purple? Great, now I've got that riff from Smoke on the Water looping through my head.

Warning! The following picture contains what can be considered graphic violence.
Eraser Hand. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/A%20Bunch%20of%20Random%20Pictures/Sketch_Erasor_Hand.png) Never make Riona angry. You'll end up mercilessly pummelled. However, if her anger turns into pure rage, which may happen in battle, she would just start ripping and slicing her opponents apart.

Also, I have done a rather funny meme thing on FurAffinity, and I feel like bringing it here. I hope you don't mind if I just post FA links here.

Of these I definitely prefer Zig's... because he's the less sane of the two. Jay comes across as fairly normal and normal is boring :P
In regards to FA links, it might be an idea to explicitly tag them as 'SFW', but that may just be me.

J-Nova Variable Armour "Iron Rat". (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/IronRatarmour1.png)

J-Nova Morph Ball. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/MorphBallAcquired.png)
Burning Mouse was a fine powered armour, but it was to big and clumsy, so Jay decided to create a radically different powered suit, based on the Federation's Nova Armour. It both grants him excellent protection and greatly enhances his strength and mobility. This armour also has advanced sensors and implements the nanobit system that can be used to project a cloaking or defensive field over the user's body. The armour has Strike Blaster devices mounted on the wrists (they move over knuckles when activated), elbows, knees and feet as a built-in weapon. They can create powerful blasts of kinetic energy that can greatly damage the target upon impact. Other weapons include a magnetic anchor connected to a nanothread, a pair of plasma daggers and pulse pistols and a variable particle beam rifle that can fire in several different modes - from a concentrated high precision beam to a wide saturation blast that can take out several targets at once. Also the armour has powerful repulsors built into palms and soles - the former can be used for creating a concentrated force shield or to pushing objects from considerable distance, the latter - for "skating" across any terrain with great speed. With right settings they even allow one to "skate" over water. And the armour also seems to have a so-called "Morph Ball" mode, but its functions are shrouded in mystery (it's actually a joke :>).
Great shades of Metroid. That suit is wicked.
How much protection would one of these provide against, say, a neutron flux?
Quote from: Tapewolf on January 25, 2009, 07:55:20 AM
How much protection would one of these provide against, say, a neutron flux?
This armour is supposed to protect the wearer from energy weapons and high levels of radiation. It has a layer that soaks and neutralizes radiation, and it can generate an energy field that would further increase the protection. When said field is turned on to maximum power the wearer of this suit has a very high chance of avoiding getting a lethal dose of radiation even from an enhanced radiation weapon like a neutron bomb. You may also notice that the armour has a rather massive helmet. It carries a system that protects the wearer from such exotic stuff as a psychic decimation weapon.
Eeeh, I've been around this forum too long. My first thought at the morph ball was 'just what we need *armoured* mows' (yes I see the tail isn't a mow)
Looking through your art quick it looks like you've got a good handle on pencil art, and digi-art. (And dry enough hands so that your pencil art can be detailed and not smudged to bits!) So good job(s) all around.
Hmmm....Armored Mows...
Holy dang, that's an awesome thought >:3
... graft some titanium to the teeth, add a little light-weight ceramic or metal plating along with some high-impact resistant goggles, and you'd have the most terrifying thing known to... well everyone and everything who encounters the little buggers...
Not so long ago I was watching Tekkaman Blade, and I wanted to draw something related to it. However, the result of my work was in fact related to the "Shades of Grey".
Terran Wrath. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Wrath1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Wrath1.png)
Wraths were products of a secret program to create an ideal warrior. While they barely resemble humans, they are actually somewhat related to Terran Furies. Wraths are incredibly strong and fast, they have quick regeneration and nearly unlimited stamina. Despite their fierce appearance, they are quite obedient. However, once given an order to attack they become a hurricane of destruction, tearing through every enemy in their path. Still, they are quite intelligent and can tell enemies from allies. They are capable of using standard infantry weapons, as the claws on their fingers can "collapse", getting smaller. However, more often than not they would use melee weapons like high-frequency blades instead, and their immense physical strength allow them to fight without any weapons at all. They have some built-in ranged weapons as well. Their shoulders house a pair of miniature proton beam cannons, their forearms and forelegs have photon blasters hidden under retractable "scales", and their chest houses a gravity compressor weapon also known as the "Mega Smasher" (*cough*
Guyver*cough*). Another power of the Wraths is their great resistance both to magical and psychic attacks, which makes them ideal Altling, psycher and mage hunters.

Saint Michelle is Riona Rylendts's personal mech. However, its psionic control system allow others to pilot it, as long as Rio gives such permission. St Michelle can function without a pilot at all, and Rio can give it commands remotely. St Michelle is one of the most powerful battle machines in the entire SoG'verse.
Apparently, everyone has missed my previous post. (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php/topic,4158.msg258606.html#msg258606) And I've already got something new - a picture of Rio in St Michelle's cockpit.

Rio does not have to concentrate on piloting her mech much when she is not in combat, so she can afford relaxing while in the cockpit. The fact she controls the mech with her mind kinda helps, too. :3

Well, Rio often fights on foot, and may hop in her mech when things get really hot. She can't be bothered to remove her armour in such situations. Besides, her armour consists of armoured gauntlets (them she did take off) and armoured boots; well, her vest and pants are made of something like kevlar, but that does not count.

Critique-wise, she seems to have a wolf muzzle and a fox tail. Is that intentional? IIRC the fox muzzle is shorter and more pointed and triangular, so that might be a problem if she's supposed to be purebred.

Thanks. About her muzzle, at first I wanted to make her a fox, but made a mistake and instead of trying to fix it decided to make her a fox/wolf mixture. In the hindsight, maybe I just should have made her a wolf. Even now it's not too difficult to change her.

He said "I am Gaulen, Gaulen Renmir. (That should have been the other way..) The Sword of Jairus."

I think that's TMI, thanks all the same... ;-]
and yet you've got your tongue out... sorry, couldn't help it :3
anyways, i enjoyed the sketch, though the clothing seems a little impractical to say the least... i dunno, maybe it's just me
Wow....She's very attractive.

I "inked" her with a mechanical pencil, then cleaned up the sketch digitally.
Ah. I can see the digital stuff, because there's a whole load of off-white which I presume your monitor isn't registering >:3
I stared at the monitor from different angles and managed to see some of such spots. But normally I don't see them. :<
*Flipping through new drawing book gifted to me from a friend* Sez here that if you're going to be scanning pencil work, it's a good idea to use harder leads so it doesn't smudge as much. Just thought I'd mention it.
More character sketches! :>
Alex Kramer. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/AlexKramer1.png)

Another mech pilot like Linda, Alex is her team-mate. While Linda specializes on ranged combat, Alex prefers melee. He is piloting a mech that is specially designed for close combat. Together Alex and Linda make a deadly combination.
More to come.
He looks kind of sinister. I'm not sure whether that was the idea...
What species is he, by the way?

I forgot to mention that much like Linda Alex is based on a certain character from "Super Robot Wars: Original Generations", Axel Almer, who was one of the prominent bad guys there. But I actually wanted to make Alex look tough and cool, not sinister (much like original Axel looked).

He is supposed to be a German shepherd, but now that I look at him, his ears look kinda wrong.
Quote from: Ren Gaulen on January 28, 2009, 06:38:23 PM

It was actually the shape of the mouth that confused me. It seems sort of flat and cat-like, but the tail didn't match a feline.
With an Alsatian, you have a pair of large erect ears. If yours were larger and closer to the top it would help, but to be honest, I think the muzzle also needs some work to pull off that look. The tail may also be a little too bushy.
**EDIT**
This looks like a good reference if you need one: http://lenir.deviantart.com/art/herding-89011251
... i've got a darker shepherd if you'd prefer that, dukes black and silver for coloring
Not exactly one of the SRW references or new characters, but I haven't really drawn him before.
Jason "Pagan" Sanders. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/JasonSanders1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/JasonSanders1.png)
Jason was a soldier of Federation Military - a member of a special operations unit. At some point he was given a mission to protect the Page family that seemed to be targeted by some terrorist group which was trying to sabotage the construction of the artificial world Arzamas. Jairus Page was a little baby at that time; his parents, Robert and Rebecca page, were both prominent members of the construction team (Robert was a chief programmer of the project, overseeing the work of the AIs, while Rebecca was one of the astroengineers who were basically putting the artificial world together). I won't go into much detail of how it all went, and will just say that the artificial world was successfully constructed, the Pages were fine and Jason's team successfully carried out their mission. Sadly, some of them had to pay their lives to protect the engineers.
By the way, a metal plate covering the right side of Jason's face was there for a rather long time. When Jason was still young, he lost his right eye in an accident involving a discharge of an area-effect bio-disintegrator weapon. Many people died in that accident, and those who survived could not have been healed without extensive genetic therapy. Jason had a bionic eye implanted instead, with a plastic plate (it looks metal, but it's not) covering the right side of his face.
The pose strikes me as a little stiff, though that works if he's standing to attention. Otherwise, looks good.
I was going to post it yesterday, but forgot. I must rectify it.

Annoying Thing Called Zig. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/AnnoyingthingcalledZig1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/AnnoyingthingcalledZig1.png)
Poor Abel.. Zig isn't a kind of a person you can get rid of that easily. >:3
the poses seem static, but the expressions are perfect. the art could be remedied with motion lines in the second panel to show the wing hike...also Abel's left leg looks weird in the second panel. Otherwise it looks really interesting if not drop down funny.
The fact that panel 4 is a different colour to the rest is bugging me, but otherwise it's pretty cool. I like the way their eyes are brilliant white. In panel 3 it might be an idea to make his eyes pure red (see Destania) but that's probably just me being pedantic.

The fourth panel is supposed to be like that - it was "censored", after all! :B And I mostly omitted the colours, anyway; though making Abel's eyes red in the third panel could really be a nice touch.

QuoteAnd I mostly omitted the colours, anyway; though making Abel's eyes red in the third panel could really be a nice touch.
Their eyes seem to go solid the colour of their clan mark when they're doing a 'Cubi-type attack, though it may depend on just how mad they are.

I've noticed you have a tendency to stop drawing by the ankles. Which isn't too major, but I admit it gets rather distracting at time when a bit of the art has their lower limbs fading into nothingness. In such cases of sequentional art, its usually better to just use the border-line to straight cut off than to leave them floating like that. Especially in white area.

I drew the legs that way exclusively because they didn't fit in the original panel. And for some reason I wanted to avoid the cut off effect either. I honestly can't explain why now. :/

Eisenraubtier "Outlaw". (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/EisenraubtierOutlaw.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/EisenraubtierOutlaw.png)
This is Linda's personal mech nicknamed "Outlaw" by her. Official designation of this mech is Eisenraubtier, and it is one of Terran Panzerritters. It is rather fast and using an advanced anti-gravity harness that allows it to fly in the atmosphere and in space. It is rather fast and manoeuvrable, but lacks strength or durability to fair well in close combat. Its primary weapons are a heavy particle cannon that packs enough punch to be used even against siege armour, and a pair of remote drones armed with pulse lasers. It also has a twin ion gun and a plasma torch fixed on both forearms, and also plasma torches at the tip of each wing. A high frequency sword that the mech carries on its hip is more or less decorative, since, as I mentioned above, Outlaw is not a strong mech and won't fare well in melee.
*looks*
Why does it have the Iron Rat's head for a chest?
Just teasing: nice mech, bro.

That might explain a few things, really...
It's a good thing that none of your characters have a Cool Car, otherwise you'd be in trouble.

I am just bad with technology in general. I lack the ability to make it look right. My artstyle is too squishy.

Actually, that's the thing I find so hard to emulate about your style: it's a lot more fluid than I'm used to drawing. You know, proportions and shapes that can change to suit the dramatic needs of the strip. It's a little confusing sometimes.
As for the technology... I need more practice drawing period, let alone technology. So I'm not going to critique you for something I can't really do.

I've found it a bit difficult to emulate as well. I've got something in the works though in which I'm really putting effort forth though and will hopefully somewhat resemble that style.

Well, in order to see my drawings, I'd have to draw them. And I really haven't been. But you're right, and I'm planning to draw something this weekend. Maybe even write something. We'll see.
On topic, I actually like the "squishyness," since it makes your work seem more fluid and personal. I like that.
*glares at jay for aborting potentially cute jyjy spawn*
having qualities like 'squishy' is impressive, theres so many descriptive terms which normally cant be applied to art unless you have such a unique style that its impossible to confuse you with anyone else. personally i always thought of you as having happy cheeks and snappy pants for your art style *shrug*. but having that special warmth and depth to your art should be much better then thinking 'squishy? awww, i wanted to be firm and perky', especially considering that other unique art styles are typically pointy or have unique edges as the only way they stand out

I hope you still remember Linda, that vixen from before.
Eisenraubtier "Outlaw". (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/EisenraubtierOutlaw.png)
This is Linda's personal mech nicknamed "Outlaw" by her. Official designation of this mech is Eisenraubtier, and it is one of Terran Panzerritters.
All I can think when I saw this entry, is how many SRW mechs I can read out of the names ;p *runs away giggling* (the answer is of course, the
AltEisen, the
Wildraubiter, and of course the
Weissritter). I have no idea why it amuses me so much, maybe it's a "I know your inspiraaaaaaaations!" mad cackle.

Cut me some slack, I've been playing with all the supers in Alpha Gaiden lately, not Original Generations ;p Shall we continue by... hmm... the drone looks like one of Cybuster's
High Familiars? *grin* Though it does have Wildfalken's huge backwing boosters...
Hee... one of these days I need to play those games X3

I assume the drone is to compensate for the lack of visibility. So...how limited is the vision should the drone be destroyed?
I know the drone can fly, but does it also have a force field to protect it from enemy fire?

No, the mech actually has a very good visibility, and the sensors in the "dome" on its head grant it almost 360 degrees of view. The drones are armed with pulse lasers and are needed to shoot down incoming missiles or small fast targets that are difficult to aim at (and you don't want to waste the energy of the particle cannon on), like other drones. Their lasers can also be used to harass other armoured targets from a safe position. They are best used against tanks, since they usually cannot retaliate. Well, if you are fighting in space, you won't find something as hapless and clumsy as a tank, but lasers become much more effective there, so you can even use them to fight space fighters. The drones indeed are protected by a force field, but it is actually a by-product of their gravity harness, and is not really strong enough to protect them from something like a shot from the same particle cannon.
I decided to draw that dragon from before again.

While this dragon may be cute, waking him up is still a bad idea. :3
On the side note, argh, the wings. They are awkward as hell. The hind legs are too. And the perspective is confusing. :<
It's definitely cute, and I thought the wings turned out rather well myself. Or was it the effort it took to get them like that which is the source of your grief?

Exactly. I don't even remember how many times I erased and redrew the part where the wings attach to the back. And I still had to put them into a rather awkward position so that they would not cover the dragon himself.
Dragon Cute!
Again a great job Ren, especially on the face- he looks so peacefull. But I have to agree with your own conclusion on the hind legs and the perspective- it's a bit messed up. But still, a really good pic!
A few days ago my little brother nearly paid with his life for idly making puns about some falling Dorc or something (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php/topic,5639.msg261558.html#msg261558), and I had to help him get out of that situation. So I quickly drew this little picture.
I sowwy. :< (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Imsowwy.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Imsowwy.png)
Obviously, it got him out of sharing Dorc's fate. BUt don't you want to give him a hug? :3
And one more picture.

It's a character from Tapewolf's stories "Chronicles of Jakob Pattersohn" and "Future History of Jakob Pettersohn". He will be appearing in the "Project Future" as well - not very soon, though. Anyway, look! A colourful Cubi! :D
For those who are wondering, Simeon is Daryil's Significant Other. He turned out really nice, by the way.

Well, I was promising to draw her without her dress, and I did it! :> Major Kusanagi from the "Ghost in the Shell" was not wearing much more than that on many occasions, and managed to get away with it. :B
I don't think there's much of a difference between wearing that and wearing nothing, considering everything she has on is so tight and nearly transparent.
Very well drawn in any case.

Well, it's certainly colorful. I looks great Ren. Love the way you did the eyes particularly. The faint shadows on the top of the wings seem a bit odd to me, but I'm no great authority on shading and don't have much of an eye for it.
I can't say I like the expression. It looks scary, like he's high or something. Other than that, nice.

QuoteQuoteAnyway, looks great, and I'm glad that we didn't go with the alternate wing colors.
Out of curiosity, since I'm still trying to get my colour-fu to work, what were those alternate colours?
Um, we actually considered three color schemes for the wings, but we quickly dropped one of them and then focused on the last two before we chose this one. The one we dropped was blue, green, and yellow, and the alternate scheme was blue, purple, and red. We went with this one because it was the most colorful, and the reason we drew this is as a response to Simeon's slightly bland colors.
For those who are curious, here's the alternate color scheme for Jay. (http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e143/J-RasZ/Yappities/CubiJayaltcol.png?t=1234282805)

QuoteWe went with this one because it was the most colorful, and the reason we drew this is as a response to Simeon's slightly bland colors.
The firey colours are actually similar to 'Cubi-Josh's wings, though I cheaped out there and used a gradient.

And for the record, I wouldn't mind being a Cubi. The shapeshifting is awesome, and given how my character looks I'd probably be a Cubi that fed on optimism or joy or something like that. However, the pic is still not canon to the SoGverse or my own fursona. Oh well.

I've said this before, but it's the lifespan and lack of need to eat/sleep that I find most appealing. Though shapeshifting does offer some very interesting possibilities (e.g. Snell, who picks locks by morphing his wing-tentacles)

Oh, those are good too. I'd still eat, though. But for some reason, I don't think it would be wise to trust me with shapeshifting. That, and as I told Ren, with my luck I'd get my Cubi marking in the same place that Ink does.

Looks pretty good. Shadrock did a great job with it. Which reminds me that I have to go back to practicing my coloring and shading...
I find it mildly entertaining that she apparently shaves her underarms, without shaving off the fur...
*cough*
Having said that, it's a well coloured pic. And I stand by the original commentary, in that the clothing isn't hiding much...

Well, maybe she just has fur there instead of body hair.
A lot of people seem to draw spandex, really highlight the anatomy to make it look tight, then add those stretch lines between the boobs. I'm not sure that really makes sense, though. Probably just me.
Otherwise, though, awesome pic. That is one
smoldering look she's got. (The shading is gorgeous too, by the way.)

ever see a beard trimmer? essentially you add a spacer comb to any normal electric hair cutting device and then its easy to make all hair a uniform length from your skin.
given its more likely that pithair just isnt needed when your already fuzzy, but it could explain how some have beards and others just have uniform length facefur.... although it leaves the floor open for reverse beards of bare chins

Riona Rylendt, aka the Ace of Spades and Tamira Kaori, aka Diamond Phoenix are both former members of a secret military organization known as the Razorblades.They eventually defected from that organization and were hunted by it. It didn't end well for the organization, though, since both girls had considerable psychic powers (they both are more powerful than an average Angel), and found some powerful allies during their travels. Tamira can control fire too (or, rather), while Rio's power could be described only as the power of annihilation. Both Rio and Tamira are currently travelling around the galaxy in their respective spaceships, Tiamat and Tenryu, trying to track down Epitaph, the founder of the Human Modification Project which created multiple powerful psychers (Tamira herself being one of them) and unleashed them onto the world, and put an end to her (Epitaph's) ambitions.
Very nice. I think you may have made Diamond's breasts a little too globular though.
Time for more pictures! :> Be warned, though: both of the pictures are on FurAffinity, and some might consider them not exactly safe for work.

It's a certain character of Jay's I suddenly felt like drawing to practice my skills of drawing human faces and different outfits.
The face is great, but it seems to me the hat is a bit too small. The rest of the outfit is OK and I especially like the boots.
Random dude is random. And I'm going to steal his hat.

To be honest, the outfit was exactly as I described it and nothing like how I imagined it. But it does look good on him, and to be fair this outfit works (in other words, I'm adding it to the character's wardrobe). And the boots are steel toe capped. He doesn't like his toes getting smashed. Or hurting his toes because he kicked someone hard. Heheheh.

It looks nice in pencil, but to be honest, the clothing just reminded me of Jakob's coat and Keaton's boots.
The hat looks small for a cowboy hat, but about the right size for a fedora.
Thankfully, it was intended to be a fedora anyway. :]
whenever i think 'fedora' i always think the carmen sandiego hat with the two foot brim.
this is more like 'inspector' or some other discreet section of the criminal justice system
Yep, I have done another meme. Actually, I have started it a while ago, but I managed to actually finish it only now. Warning! Rated "Mature" on FA. :3
The Huge Different Zig's meme (FA link) (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2046259)
Some of the panels of this meme follow actual Zig's history, while others are completely hypothetical.
This is a great picture!What I would suggest about it is that the hat could be a bit wider. This could follow a wonderful emotional and dramatic detective story.The story of the lonesome detective...for instance :)
Great Job! You are a master of your own kind! :mowsmile
PS, my Bad I am referring to "The Wanderer".

Lonesome, yes. Detective, not so much. As for what he is... well... I don't know if I should give away to much information on Lew there. Or the story he's attached to. Not yet, anyway...
Also, neat meme, bro. Nice to see it all in one piece.
I really like the first panel. It's easy to show someone's emotions when they're being dramatic, but a casual pose and expression are much harder to pull off. And I like how Zig is in the exact. Same. Pose. for the first and last panel.
Also: Got a chuckle at the Asleep panel.

Model Z from "Rockman ZX". (http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Biometal#Model_Z)
japanese outfits are confusing for me, that outfit would look more appropriate/sexy on a female character.
Great job on the colored one. I love the blade. The sketch is nice too, though It seems to me that there are a lot of disproportions in it. The background, on the other hand, is killer!
Nice shading in the final version! I'm afraid it still looks like he has breasts, though.

I think it can be a fair observation considering Toru Nakayama's [Rockman ZX's chara designer... I think] armored female designs do tend to be flatchested as well... heck I couldnt distinguish between the main male and females in the ZX series most of the time.

I think that was intentional: given that the characters are basically interchangeable, they might have wanted to draw on how similar they were. Alternatively, the fact that both of the characters were teenagers might have something to do with it. Or their nature as Bioroids means that secondary sexual characteristics such as breasts aren't as important. I believe that you can distinguish Aile's breasts in ZX Advent, though I'm not sure. But, yeah, good point about the design philosophy.
Oh, awesome pic, bro. Though I think I've told you that in a chat at some point. ;-)

But far bigger than you'd expect on a guy.
my only real complaint would be the base limitation on how Ren draws, but that's more artistic temperament than actual bitching, what you're drawing right now is fairly good, you have some talent there, you just need to capitalise on that and diversify your angles, poses, and body types. Generally they're all either lithe, athletic, or mildly muscular on a relatively small frame, not to mention they're at either at 3/4 or straight-on camera angle, which isn't so bad, but you do need to spice up the poses somewhat. :3
To be fair, the 3/4 view is a good angle to show off as much of the character as possible. At least, I think so. And in most of these pics, Ren's just showing off the character, not necessarily what they're doing or anything like that. They're just neutral poses.
But, yeah, bro, we do need to come up with some characters with funky builds and put your characters in weird positions, have 'em interacting and stuff and putting them in weird poses you're not used to. Practice makes perfect! Says the guy who hasn't drawn anything in months. Just ignore the moron in the corner. *goes and sits in the corner*

true enough as it is, it's fairly evident in project future as well, however. Ren, as a fellow artist and webcomic guy, i must tell you, it's your job to make your colorist's life a misery.. pack in that detail and background! >:3

I stopped posting much in this thread after the 20-somethingth character drawing. The work may be good (and it is very,
very, good) but it's not really all that interesting. Personally, the characters all started blending together after a while. None of them really seem all that unique to me. They've all got the same "Slender, badass, and full of attitude" feel to them.
There were quite a few drawings that never made it past pencils that I was hoping to see finished, though.
A picture I drew for Zedd.
Road crossing. (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2175319)
Despite it might look like it has some deeper meaning, it is just what it is - a picture of an older-looking Zedd. I threw in some background so it would look less plain, boring and un-interesting. I quite like how it turned out, too.
Very cool-looking, bro. I like Older!Zedd's look. Not much else to say.

Sweet. As I said before, though - she seems to be really high on something. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Mega Juicer, from the Rifts pen and paper RP. Juicers have a large pack of chemical enhancers and, when in danger, get major shots of the stuff to enhance speed, strength, blah blah blah. Though at a price of usually only living for a few years. Prompting many to take to throwing themselves off buildings to get the high. Because they an survive it. Then you have the mega juicers that some times described as, "Bring out the nukes, it might not be enough, but you will have a chance."

Thankfully I saw these before I went to work.
Vast difference from your previous works Ren. Far beyond anything I'll likely ever be doing. The different poses in these (and the last picture) are a refreshing change and are very well done for something that isn't the norm for you. I also like how the current picture seems to be a bit more full bodied. It really looks great.
Hazzy did a great job on the coloring as well. I really like these pieces.

Thanks. Lately I'm getting better and better at drawing various poses. This might as well become a norm for me too. :3
And Hazzy really did a great job. I'm looking forwart to more such collaborations with him. :3

Indeed. Though Mao does have a point that these aren't especially safe for work, and if you're in a place where you can't or shouldn't access FA, looking at these is probably not a good idea either. Well, less so for Business Lady IIRC, though at the end of the day it probably depends on your work.
Awesome work on the business lady- she is gorgeous. The coloring is nice, but I have to say that what really caught my eye was the clean lines- very nice. As for the sexy one- just one advice/critique- less detail on the leg muscles would have made her look even better(I have a thing against muscular women). And maybe a different color on her lingerie- the color chosen now just doesn't say "sexy" as loud as I'd like it. Of course this is all my opinion.

Both the colouring and the inking were done by Haz, and he really did a great work. Though he mentioned that the drawings he worked with were cleaned up rather well, making his job easier. :3
As for Julee being somewhat more muscular than you'd expect from an average girl, it is justified by her past. She led a rather.. dangerous life until she met Jay Page and, apparently, decided to settle down.

Ruby is a new character of mine. She is a young gryphon from some small gryphon tribe. During his adventuring days Siegfried once stopped in her tribe's village with his group, and when they left, Ruby just kinda tagged along with them. Later she proved to be a capable member of the group, being a good ranger, and knowing some Wind and Earth magic.
Oooh, nice. Got any other shots of her though? Her color scheme actually reminds me a bit of Zedd, now that I look at it.
Awesome Ren- I love the whole Indian style thing- really works with this character! Making avian anthros is the hardest of all, at least for me, so I'm really impressed at how good she looks. The color and shading is great as well! A real eye treat!

Thanks. I really don't draw avians of any kind all that often, so I am surprised how well she turned out. As for the outfit, I wanted to do something tribal, because I felt that it would work well with her. And she is probably the most colourful character of mine. :>

This is a picture of Ren and Zig dressed like Sanger Zonvolt and Elzam von Branstein from "Super Robot Wars" games. "Trombe" is Elzam's personal theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot-0-KyPd0Y), which has an amusing quality to override all other music in the game when it starts, including boss themes.
Nice faces, and nice music too. But how does it override all other music?
I like the small version in your sig. :)
I'll second Gabi: nice expressions.
The fur collar looks nice, too.
Thanks. :)
Quote from: Gabi on March 01, 2010, 03:01:57 PM

Well, originally it was a bug. Boss themes were supposed to have higher priority than your characters' themes, but Elzam's theme always had an even higher priority, which caused it to play whenever he was in action. Afterwards the developers decided to make it a feature - a sort of an in-joke.

This is Pillar of January, one of the twelve battlecruisers of the Furies. They are used by the Furies as their mobile bases that allow them to rapidly react to threats in any part of the Federation of United Terran Stars. A little over one kilometre long, Pillar of January carries weapons suited both for ship-to-ship combat and planetary bombardment, and a force of one hundred Furies and four hundred soldiers with ground vehicles and landing crafts to get them to the surface of a planet. The ship is also equipped with an individual hyperdrive and advanced navigation system that allows it to be independent from hyperspace beacons. All in all it is one of the most powerful and advanced warships within the human space and its proximity.
..And yes, I did name it in tribute to Pillar of Autumn from Halo. ;)
Ooh, cool. The yellow "pin-striping" looks sweet. And by sweet I mean awesome. The design is cool too. There's plenty detail, and not much greeble.
Some of the antenna look awkward, though.
That is a pretty sweeeet ship :D
And question; if this is One of Twelve, does that mean the others are also named "Pillar of ____" where ___ is a month?
'Cuz that'd be an awesome theme-naming convention :3

A character from one of my video game ideas. He's pretty much the same in that regard; yet another one of his strength's is his determination.

a cat, a hyena and a kangaroo rat...why do I suspect the next scene features all of them gobbled up one by the other?
it looks like the kangaroo rat is taking advantage of the situation by saying "HA hA HA HA, I've got you now."

With the highlights, particularly on Keaton's clothing, it might be an idea to give them a once-over with the smudge tool, to make them a little less stark.

For one reason or another, Zedd has been temporarily turned into a short buxom ferret gal. We could not decide whether to make her all white or not, so I decided to go with both versions. :B
I like the second one better >:-)
ditto
zedd is my bro, would this be potential incest?
I agree with mounting popularity, that the second one is better. It's hard to see the dark purple outfit against the black, so with "her" being all white it really stands out. :3
Also, out of curiosity what is that pink symbol in the corner? A Clan mark? :.

Strangely enough, the next picture has nothing to do with Keaton or Abel, as it features Ren and Paladin Sheppard's Tasmanian Devil gal Ephrael.

Ren I'm shocked and appalled...I'm the first response :P
Mah little Devil is in Stripper Heals :<
As for the lack of dancing? Don't most Dance movies have this stance as the beginning or end of the set? :P
And Ren, why are you wearing Kratos' swim trunks? Are you resisting the urge to attach magical chained swords to your arms?

Well, Eph knows Keaton, so it does have something to do with her. ;)
Is this what you were working on earlier today? It's nice. But I don't think it looks much like they're dancing. More like they stopped dancing in order to do something else, or they haven't started yet.

Yep, it is. And I said that they are dancing so that the picture name would make more sense. In the hindsight I could have just called it something like "Flirting with the Devil", though. :B Either way, it was also a reference to Van Halen's song "Running with the Devil".
Oh my. What a skimpy little dress that female is wearing. :o
Peculiar way to dance, but still a well done picture. :> Kudos, Ren.
I decided to draw a picture of Chance, since I haven't drawn the lovely snow leopard nearly as much as she deserved that. And decided to come up with some fancy outfit for her, too. :3

Oh yeah, awesome stuff as usual Ren :P
..Yeah, I'm seriously neglecting this thread. :T But this time I've got
a lot of stuff to show! For a while now I've been working on a project related to Star Wars - a group picture of the characters belonging to me and several friends of mine, all looking like different Jedi and Sith (mostly
not based on any existing characters, though). Here are some previews showing the progress of the project:
Force Unbound - Ren (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Somethingwickedthiswaycomes.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Somethingwickedthiswaycomes.png)
FurAffinity Link (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4655856)
Ren as some Sith-looking type. I'm not entirely sure if Ren is Sith, but he is certainly not a Jedi. :B
Force Unbound - group picture test (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/ForceUnboundgrouptest.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/ForceUnboundgrouptest.png)
FurAffinity Link (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4699260)
And this is a test of the group picture. Ren lost the shading here, but he is now accompanied by Pagan and Jay, the former looking like an archetypical goody-two-shoes Jedi Knight, and the latter channelling Starkiller from
Force Unleashed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_The_Force_Unleashed).
And here are some pencil sketches of all the characters that will be showing up in the final picture:

Oh, these are coming along well. I still think that the background makes it hard to see Ren's legs, but fixing that is going to be hard without upsetting the mood. A lot depends on the monitor calibration and how good/bad the monitor is at displaying dark colours, I guess.
The other thing is the lightning on Jay's finger, it bugs me somehow. I think the problem is that in real lightning it will taper away as it forks, and in this all the branches are the same width.

Of course we can't give you a break, that's how we make you better! :P I'm curious, how are you putting the figures into the group picture? Also, are you doing the entire group picture without shading, or will you be adding that in as time lends itself to that?

I colour each one individually, then save as a PNG with a transparent background and combine them into a single picture, resizing and positioning them appropriately, and making the glow effects for the sabres/Force powers. And I will be shading all of them. I un-shaded Ren because I haven't had time to shade Jay and Pagan, and didn't want him to look weird next to them.
I don't have any updates on the Force Unbound project, but I have drawn a couple neat pictures of dragons.
Fuzzy dragon (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/FuzzyDragon1-1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/FuzzyDragon1-1.png)
It's a type of dragons in my setting. Rather than being clad in armoured scales, they have short firm fur covering their bodies. They are generally smaller than their "armoured" brethren, and are considered to be more peaceful than them. These furred dragons are famous shapeshifters, and it is not uncommon for them to live among humans or other lesser races, disguised as one of them. This one spent a large portion of her life among humans too, going by the name Rebecca (although I still haven't decided what would be her real name).
Tiamat (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Tiamat1.png)
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Tiamat1.png)
This is Tiamat, a dragon goddess (or, perhaps, a goddess dragon) in the Shades of Grey setting (somewhat inspired by the D&D Tiamat, I admit). She is often called Dragon of Chaos and Night Dragon. The former name was given to her for creating a plethora of different monsters, the latter due to her pitch-black scales that reflect light in such a way she melds with the starry sky. She and her brother, Bahamut - Dragon of Order or Day Dragon - are actively involved in the affairs of the mortal world, unlike most other dragon deities, and thus are known not only among dragons and most devout scholars. Tiamat is usually considered an evil deity by lesser races, but dragons themselves hold both her and her brother in the same regard; then again, they view them as dragons first and deities second, anyway. Tiamat does not seem to have a particular domain, travelling across the Outer Universe instead, often taking different appearances. She takes great enjoyment in sowing chaos and causing things to happen, often instigating conflict and strife. However, sometimes her actions may cause things to change for the better - which is fine by her, as long as she gets to have some fun. Also, she has a great fondness of seas, oceans and other large bodies of water - which is somewhat fitting for a chaos goddess.
She is also greatly amused by suicidally stupid adventurers that sometimes try to challenge her.
And here's a picture comparing the sizes of Tiamat and Becky from above. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/Dragonssizecomparison1.png)
Those spikes on tiamat's wing-knuckles are cool. I don't think I've ever seen something like that before.
I like the balance between generic and exotic. They have personality, but they don't look Ex-treeeem! crazy-weird.
The suggestion of frizz looks good in quite a few places; I like the corner of the jaw, the haunch, the shoulder, and that bit on the chest. I don't think it would hurt to add more. Frizzing up the muscle accents (http://www.whitefoxart.com/artwork/redline/fuz_drag_redl.png) might be an idea.
The wings look... massive. The bulk makes them look powerful, but heavy for flying. Physics notwithstanding: I'm just looking at the impression they make. They're dragons; I'm not going to tell them they can't have massive wings. :3 The hands on the wings look a bit cumbersome... I could do a redline with some suggestions, if you want the advice.
Those scaled hand/paws look great. Expressive poses, nice detail, and the scales look cool IMHO. It's a nice blend between hands and paw, too (secretly, I envy that).

Once again, thanks. Those are actually really more hands than just paws; they even have opposable thumbs. Which actually makes me think of drawing a picture of a dragon giving a thumbs-up to someone/something. :B
Oh, and on the other note, the furred dragoness's real name is Becarare now; thanks to Jay for the idea. :>
Like the fuzzy dragon. Always had a thing for dragons with hair.
Body structure is great on it.

Of course, if Fury actually is a female, then the face is really masculine looking. Sari's fur looks great, though I think her goggles would fold a bit more unless they had a stiff nose thing. I haven't seen goggles made with stiff leather, though I suppose it's possible. Aside from those little details, looks great!

I'm not the one who came up with the "wrench wench" thing, I merely saw that on TV Tropes. :B And the Furies are all female. The masculine look is part me having problems with drawing human female faces, part them being genetically engineered super-soldiers. :P And those goggles indeed look a bit too stiff, but I didn't want to use the eraser too much, or it would all be one big smudge. :T Anyway, thanks! :>

Ah yes, the old "they're genetically engineered super-soldiers" excuse. :p

Alright, fine, it's me being unable to draw female faces right! Are you satisfied? D:<
:P :P :P
I had some slight doubts whether to post it here or not, but here I go.
Cheerleader Ziggy. (http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh121/RentheKnight/CheerleaderZig.png) (Warning, so gay it's flaming. :B )
FurAffinity link. (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4896120) (It's FurAffinity, goes without saying you wouldn't want to surf it at work. :P )
Yep, that's Ziggy, dressed like a cheerleader and acting like a complete jackass. He does that sometimes (acting like a jackass, not dressing like a cheerleader).
What scares me is that it actually looks good on him :U

It does indeed. His slender figure helps, definitely. On someone like Ren it would have looked downright wrong. :B
It's the bulge that scares me.
That makes me wonder... do female sports teams have cheerleaders? Or do only guys get to be cheered? (We don't have cheerleaders here, and the ones I've seen on TV, comics, etc. seemed like little more than sex toys for the guys they cheered for, I'd like to know what it's like in reality).

To be honest, I never heard of a female sports team with cheerleaders. :/ In all the honesty, though, given the stuff the cheerleaders do, with all those aerial stunts and such, they make better sportsmen (sportswomen, anyway) than most of the guys they are cheering for.
Might be just me, but he hips look curvy for a guy.
Also
maybe probably just me, but I always find it weird when a figure is drawn with complex and detailed anatomy, but an anime face. :B
I don't find the bulge particularly frightening... I've seen
Labrynth... but for some reason, the boots and pigtails are just disturbing.

I'm pretty sure cheer leaders are supposed to distract the opposite team, rather than encourage their own.
If that's so, I bet girls teams look for beefcake water-boys, and coaches who look like George Clooney.

That's probably because I drew his waist a bit too thin.

Originally I was going to give him a less exaggerated expression, but it was not turning out so well, so I went straight for an anime'ish one.

As a friend of mine from FurAffinity mentioned in the comments there, those boots are an affront to all that is manly. :B
