I like the red masked Natsu. Sorry for nitpicking but you should change her pants/trousers/pantalones lining to yellow/gold.
Also that dynamite is awesome, it might subconsciously inspired me to make a bomb (check out Iron CAS thread). With the dynamite placement you should give him Natsu's style and just spam her bombs :P
What items did you use on Conan's belt? And is that the boxing belt or the other one?
I'm non-European (technically Asian too!) and I think it's ugly :>
The 3D model isn't very good and I don't like the style itself. A lot of east Asian styles would've been better and prettier.
Watched half of the slideshow before I lost interest. Sorry, but it's too long and I've seen most of these in the thread itself :<
I'll watch the rest later. I promise!
The hair is a weird one, actually.
It's the first time I've changed the hair on a 3P (I'm adverse to doing so usually), and it's one I normally hate, but I feel it really works in this instance.
I totally understand you. I think the first time I changed the 3p hair was also for Leixia and using that same hair lol.
In my case I only change the hair if it fits the character and/or if the character is know to change hair styles. Having said that I miss my Master's style Cervantes :<
I like the red masked Natsu. Sorry for nitpicking but you should change her pants/trousers/pantalones lining to yellow/gold. Will do, sir, it is actually revigorating to see people nitpicking about details, since i am very very much into the tiniest details in my CAS creation process, and when i am only half pleased with a CAS, i just ditch it, plain and simple (ask Le Bello ;o)
Also that dynamite is awesome, it might subconsciously inspired me to make a bomb (check out Iron CAS thread). With the dynamite placement you should give him Natsu's style and just spam her bombs :P I don't have the patience to check out challenge threads anymore, sorry, but i will go and check your stuff out right away ;o)
That would be fun for sure, the whole thing is that i did not want a hitman with a style where the poor guy teleports or breath fires of laser-ray everyone, so raphael was the more obvious realistic yet elegant style...
What items did you use on Conan's belt? And is that the boxing belt or the other one? Classic roman belt, was no boxing belt when i did him

I understand, but how can i make a CAS compendium that is not 99 shots long (the limit of the slideshow editor), you tell me, with all your asian wisdom ;o)) Remember you can skip to make it go your own pace...glad you don't give up on me though, because this one tells a story...

Such a fun coincidence! I once saw a Pyrrha with Natsu's 2P hair, which kinda worked, but not for me. The only other one I've changed is Tira's, giving her the 'Separate Flower' hair she's used before, so it barely counts.
I remember Scyle's theme - I had a rogue messenger character with a scroll tucked into the Snake's mouth, with the idea being that it would release acid if the wearer died, destroying whatever important, rebellious documentation was hidden within. Honestly, your bomb looks way WAY cooler though, and Vil's dynamite... BOOM.
Might need to copy some of these things I do think.
Oh well, it hurt me to leave my thread on a page without a pic, so i made 2 more Mistus.
The story behind them is that they are both love outcast, the first one for falling in love with the shogun's daughter, was demoted and his eyes were burnt as a punishment, so he never again can lay eyes on his beloved.
He cries as soon as a fight starts, for the sake of his lost loved one.
Both have developed acute senses and remain fierce combattants in enclosed arenas such as Soulcalibur's...
Here is Zatoichimistu :
The same story applies to our blind Vizir, who tried to escape with the Sultan's daughter, but they were caught, the princess decapitated, while he was tortured and his eyes burnt, so he never can lay eyes on a woman again.
Here is Grand Vizir Mistu :
Design notes :
- Tear is a carefully placed and sized horn
- Blood smears on the blindfold are combination of various stickers (hole repair sticker and classic blood sticker)
- The earrings on the chin gave me the idea of a more oriental themed Mitsu, hence the Grand Vizir.
- I experimented with different color schemes for Grand Vizir, and found out purple as a good noble base color
- I played with the new stickers around the moon crescent for added flair to the hat
I'm on the road as of tomorrow morning, so i'll stick around tonite, then probably will check once at destination.
I thought that your old Mitsu version was the best possible, but I was wrong
These last two are simply amazing, I loved the two but this Arabic version!! for sure I will clone him heheeh
thank you friend... I would ask for that
It's been a few weeks that I can't connect my PS3 because I have taken a lot of work to home, but has even saved the photo
I hope to be more quiet in the next week to make my Grand Vizir Mitsu hehe
thanks again!!
Some hit me with ideas yet some just aren't my cup of tea. However, I enjoyed that Royal Xiba with the Hilde post quite a lot. I'm also flattered with you mentioning me with the comic post and stuff. I thought not many people read them or so.
While i agree on your introduction, i have to disagree about a few things you write there like : true artistry come from within yourself and long way to go...to where exactly, lol.
So i don't know what to think of your post really, i think my work is very much mine and mine only, and i very rarely borrow anything (and when i do i always credit my fellow creator, including Lil Vil), so that is a wee bit uncalled for ;o)
I think, on the other hand, many do borrow or get inspiration from me (at least i have been told so), which i love, because it is the spirit of this forum.
About the way to go, i like to think i have pushed the editor to the limits with my non-human CAS.
The same goes with presentation, where i learned along the way to pull good in-game shots and experimented quite a bit with different technologies of slideshows, which i only get comments for from the CAS creators i value out there. Btw, did you watch them ?
All out of love and respect for the game and this forum (which doesn't mean both don't bug me sometimes ;o)
Perhaps I might've insulted you by accident when I mentioned the words: "You have a long way to go." Believe me when I say that I absolutely had NO intention of doing so, even if that may sound harsh. What I really meant by that is that I needed to see even MORE out-of-the-box designs, color combinations, and even more design tricks coming out of you despite the amazing amount limitations set by the game itself (in short, you really need to PUSH YOURSELF and DO MORE, so to speak!). If what I mentioned before sounded like harsh criticism, then I must deeply and humbly apologize for that.... m(_ _)m
...I also want to apologize for the words (which is actually supposed to be advice): "True Artistry MUST come from oneself, and nothing else." On that very note, I honestly thought that some of your designs were copied from other creators and that you needed to learn how to do it on your own. It appears that I was sorely - and gravely, I might add - mistaken on that part once you clarified it on your reply. Again, I humbly apologize for that, VILARCANE.... m(_ _)m
...Anyway, I also must confess that compared to you and the rest of the CaS community, I'm nothing more but an absolute speck of dust when it comes to perfecting CaS characters since I have truly not taken advantage of the tools that I was given. At first, I was thinking that if I see what you and the others made, I might be able to learn from them and create a unique design of my own that's COMPLETELY different from the ones that I've seen so far. Unfortunately for me, achieving the latter is extremely difficult - if not impossible. But at least I get to learn a bit and decided to copy bits of designs, tricks, color schemes, and more from my fellow CaS players like you and mix 'em up together to create new designs instead. From the looks of things, I guess it's working for me so far.
The least I could for you guys in return for all that inspiration is to comment and criticize your own works so that, hopefully, you'll all improve and make your old designs better AND make even more dazzling new ones in the process - which, in turn, allow me to study each of them in turn to help myself create new works of my own....
Whether you believe me or not is truly up to you. And if my post seemed a bit too long, then that means I'm under the influence of those bloody sardines and I'm already half-asleep right now. Geez...! xP
I do hope this clarifies a LOT of things, VILARCANE. Thanks for reading! ^_^
EDIT: If you're wondering why I don't have a thread of my own yet, it's because I felt that I'm simply not ready and not worthy to show my works to the world just yet. For a few more details, I'll PM the rest to you....
EDIT2: It seems that I nearly missed seeing your newest designs, and I must say that they're incredibly good to see! Your sense of consistency is truly something that I needed to learn, and that I hope to do so quickly before I create anything new of my own and present them someday.... T_T
... I came here looking for Online Symphony 3... but don't see it .... I was here before too ... I think I must be overlooking something obvious but ....
hmmmmm.......

Of course, I already saw the shaolin Maxi and Roninrugi. As for my Misfortune Comics? If you want any CAS of yours in in mine, you'll have to send me the formula. However, I don't have a reliable camera yet so it'll have to wait.
Aside from that, I'll say once again: well done on the comic parts.
