I'm glad the sideburns attracted notice. To be honest, I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get them just right. I guess it was worth the effort after all.
And here's my entries for NeclordX's very cool Broquest CAS Challenge. I suppose that puts them somewhere sort of in between original and recreations. ^_^
Well, that might make the name of the thread a bit misleading and confusing. Now that you mention it, though, there's no general thread for recration CAS's. There's one for originals (the aptly named "Originality"), but not for remakes. I actually think it might be a good idea for someone to...
Yeah, for some reason I seem to have a hard time making armored character designs look interesting and different. Not sure why. Elreyah's my personal favorite. Not too complicated, but still very distinct.
Already posted these in my own thread, not noticing this one. Might actually go back and remove these from my other thread, to avoid redundancy. I'm going to skip the exhaustive backstories behind each character, though, since I doubt anyone would be that terribly interested.
Oh, and sorry for...
So you're picking on someone for posting a bunch of CAS's...in a forum dedicated to posting CAS's? Ooookay...
Well, thanks for the compliment, anyway. I'm glad you like them.
And now for a pretty much random assortment of "others." The gargoyles characters were pretty directly inspired by someone else's (again, don't remember who). Believe it or not, the first thing I thought when I got the buttefly antenae was "Dude, now I can make Laharl!" I'm just weird like that.
Really digging the FFXI recreations, even though I don't much care for the game. The Red Mage looks particularly good. Of your originals, I actually like Ray, the one guy. His is just a really fun, dynamic, flamboyante look.
Not sure what you're getting at, there. Are you saying that I have so made so many CAS's that it doesn't seem like I'd have had time to actually play? The game's been out a full month now. Heck, I've seen people who have filled all 50 slots, then made a new profile to make more. And obviously...
And now for the DC guys, specifically the "Big Three." Superman and Batman were both tricky, though for different reasons. Wonder Woman I'm not completely satisfied with, so she might get updated later.
Next batch: Marvel Comics characters. I'm particularly proud of Cyclops, whose visor was a pain in the butt, but it eventually turned out nearly perfect. Everyone and their brother has a Gambit, but that didn't stop me from making my own. Spider-Man turned out pretty well costume-wise, though...
And now for some originals!
These characters are all from a story I've been planning to write for several years, but have never gotten around to actually putting on paper. As such, they each have backstories, but I'm only going to get into the bare bones of each one, since the whole story would...
