A tale of souls and swords, eternally retold...

[VILARCANE]

Different colors ? why not...what about a sad clown (sob)...sticking out his tongue at the world in disdain...
Quizz : how did i do this sexy tonguen, any idea ?

 

[VILARCANE]

Final Bounty Hunter Tira (officially 100% satisfied ;o) :

The Janissary (Assassin's creed version, high ranking ottoman elite guard) - a request from l'ami Le Bello to kick his awesome Hakan's ass sometime ;o) :

Draft designs (did not entirely satisfy me, so i only kept the face and scarring but changed the mask)

Final version that is in my opinion much closer to the original version (a mask that is made of golden and black patterns)...

 

[WindupSkeleton]

Sad? That clown looks evil. The stuff of nightmares, folk tales and darkest legends. Children weep at the sight of him, and never sleep again. That clown is the reason insomnia exists. Cool tongue though.

Janissary is ok, though I dislike the pattern on his top. The jewel/beads one, and over all it looks a little garish, though I'm jealous you have the extra items I don't, chiefly the piece of paper/talisman thing. I dunno, I much prefer my own, but maybe I'm bias, haha?

Tira looking fine, though not a fan of the green card-things. Again though, if I had that piece I know who would get them. Oh well~

thx for the emotion sharing bout the clown -

Janissary - all a matter of taste - and yes your biased hoho but i prefer Hakan too ;o

Tira - the green bills are dollar bills my dear - are you cool with them now ?

Anytime! And aaaaaaah, that makes sense. She's keeping them dollars lose, what a gal.

Sorry for the wait. We're all busy and have things to do; I'm no exception. Anyway, as horrified as I am to be portrayed with the flamboyance of King Louis XIV, I will be as fair in my review as I can.

The first thing I wanted to point out was the use of the Leather Coat. I'm usually not a fan of it, as it is very bulky and really boxes out a character's figure. However, the typical judge's cloak also does this, so I can see why you chose to use it here. I can kind of see some subtle patterning on the coat, but I'm not exactly what it is, due to the picture quality. Elsewhere on this design, I'm left unimpressed by the rest of the clothing choices. I see that you did some stickerwork/patterning on the leather vest, but I think some subtle patterning that adds texture would be more effective. I'd say the same for the pants; they need some kind of additional detail to keep them from looking generic. In fact, if possible, I'd substitute one of the puffy shorts and leggings for the pants and socks that are on there right now. It'd really bring out the "17th-century fabulous noble" aesthetic that you seem to be aiming for. The beard and wig are good choices. The makeup and blush, as much as I hate having on a CaS that's supposed to represent me, works well to advance the chosen theme. Finally, the bolt gavel looks well proportioned, but perhaps coloring and/or patterning it would make it look more like a a judge's wooden gavel. If possible, I'd use the tiger stripe pattern to give it a wood grain texture.

There you have it. I am simultaneously dismayed and amused by the direction you took with it, but I'm also humble enough to laugh at myself, so there isn't really a problem. The design itself has some good ideas and is a good start.

I will say the Bounty Hunter Tira is very nice because of the dollar bills. Old cliche, but a good cliche that gives her charisma.

The clowns and western stuff are making me wanna take something derp cool, and make it more derpy awesome. In other words, I may have to mess with an original of mine since you've given me ideas. For that, I thank you.

Expect Disco Jim(an original of mine) to have a bigger fashion that will rival Suzume(another original of mine). It won't put people in awe, but it'll probably make them laugh and roll their eyes since that's why I built him.

Considering that it's been awhile since Pocky Yoshi talks in third person, he believes thou hast earned it. Hope to see more I-Conic puns and more from thee.

Thanks, yes you got it eventually !
and your "aaaaaaaah" reminds me of "aaaaaaaaah, this will be easy" Damp quote ;o)

I'd like to you you derpy awesome clown inspired stuff, really, i like whacky design as long as it doesn't look like a random CPU character...

I know Disco Jim, he had a hard time gainst Lil Vil's Natsu Ninja ;o)
Now, he's got Disco Hilde to lick his wounds...

I made you talk in third person, i value this...highly

why, thanks for doing it eventually, your opinion matters ;o)

A judge is black and white, period, so i wanted it to be simple and pattern-poor, especially the pants, but i thank you for / and will certainly experiment with...your advice ;o)

The beard and wig are good choices. The makeup and blush, as much as I hate having on a CaS that's supposed to represent me, works well to advance the chosen theme. Finally, the bolt gavel looks well proportioned, but perhaps coloring and/or patterning it would make it look more like a a judge's wooden gavel.

I did actually update the hammer (i used gradient at first, which is the only thing that doesn't work well on metal)

There you have it. I am simultaneously dismayed and amused by the direction you took with it, but I'm also humble enough to laugh at myself, so there isn't really a problem. The design itself has some good ideas and is a good start.

Cool, i knew you'd value the effort

 

[TsunamiBye]

I'm slightly surprised that you remember Disco Jim. Then again, you'd always remember the fights where you won. Oh well, Disco Jim will smack Natsu in the ass next time >3

That aside, is there any CAS you want in my comics? I could use some Roman empire stuff in particular, but anything goes except the giant penises and other inappropriate stuff. I'll accept up to 3.

[WindupSkeleton]

Thanks, yes you got it eventually !
and your "aaaaaaaah" reminds me of "aaaaaaaaah, this will be easy" Damp quote ;o)

I only understood when you explained it. Clearly my brains are rotting. (Also, that's not a Damp quote, it's a CaS voice quote ;P)

Am i speaking to Le Bello ? ;o)
You are right, the right quote is ... "That...that was easy"

 

[VILARCANE]

In honour of the Le -i get mad when Vil misspells (haha i got that one right) any kind of name - Bello, here is the true
LEPRECHAUN (he is a bit tipsy, because of the mead you know) :

Quizz : considering i already used face paint to make him look older/ like a leprechaun,n how did i do the freckles ?

 

[WindupSkeleton]

Holy deities that thing is disgusting.

I mean, it's well made, it's just so frightening creepy. LOOK AT IT. IT'S EVIDENTLY DESIGNED TO FUEL NIGHTMARES AND TERRORISE CHILDREN. MY INNOCENCE. MY POOR SCRAPS OF REMAINING INNOCENCE.

The thumbnail is HELLA cool though.

For the freckles, I'm guessing it's a sticker of some description? =/

Thanks, and yes I like when i creep you (or other people) out with my CAS, it is the purpose of it, create emotions (all kinds of)...and if you sleep less, i know it ups my winning chances haha !

This is an evil LEPRECHAUN, the one that r....es and m....rs little red riding hoods wandering aimlessly n the forest while singing merry melodies

 

[VILARCANE]

A slight update on my Bozo, i actually changed the hair color to that of the sad clown (=green, can't be seen on the picture below though)

But i realized my thumbnail for BOZO was not posted and worth a shot...

I also changed the style to Xiba (which allowed me to do this "let the show begin" thumbnail using the jumping in the air pose). I also think Xiba's moves are more circus like / acrobatic than Maxi's...

absolutely, so... without further ado...

...with this the curtain closes...this last compendium is meant for those who wanna take a shortcut through chunks of my soul brought to life during my long and sometimes epic CAS journey...

... again this is a non automated slideshow, so even if there are many pics, you can browse at the pace you like...or follow the music of a movie i like a a lot...

Pride and Prejudice...this is all me ;o)...
