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

Doing this final CAS was like creating a soul link with SCIV, i game i loved, and Taki, a character i found so eerie and intriguing...
I experimented quite a bit before finding the suitable feel of refinement, sex appeal and dark ninja magic.
The feeling in-game is drop dead gorgeous, and has Lil Vil (a Natsu expert remember) seal of approval...
I ended up making two separate versions, because of the face (i fell in love, like i did with Hilde and Leix)

I hope you like the pics, that it will inspire my friend Jonny, and that kinda closes the loop of this thread (or is it a moebius ring, with all the times i attempted quitting this full time spare time activity ;o)

You have interesting chars made you also took pics with Camera i assume.....
well everyone has his own way to make pics whenever its wih PS3 or a Camera to make them

i added some new pics on my topic (upgraded chars + new attempt)
 
Thx Darksouls !
Yeah, Camera all the way, but i really like your training mode technique, it opens new possibilities, which i won't exploit now i am done...
 
Done with what?? making CaS?? hmm i always look to this chars i won't use anymore will be deleted and new chars can be made.... (or it might be something else.....)
 
I. What? I see. You thought my Taki was boring because it was a mixture of her older designs. You were expecting me to make up something more elaborate and original I suppose? Challenge accepted!

I must say though, I ain't so keen on this one. Maybe it's the pattern or the random lotus. Or the mask (A personal hate of mine), I dunno. Sorry Vil =/
 
It is like you are not the only person having issues with logging in/posting lately, maybe that would explain the low activity, who knows...be waiting for your full comment the time it takes for you to make it work ;o)
At least this one post came through...thx
Ok I think I am cool now .... it was our modem... we switched it out and haven't had issues since.
my connection just kept dropping out ... I couldn't post anything... even hitting like on something only worked half the time .... We have had problems for a while but we kept thinking it was how we had something set up or the router...

I have seen quite a few really nice things go by here and on other posts so now I have some catching up to do...
your most recent creations are very nice ... and they are photographed beautifully!!
I like the chobek style zipper !! we tend to use / over use it .... I have a few things I will be posting soon and sheepishly I admit my sexy robot lady uses that zipper as well... I like your impish shadow....
:) and I like your frightning wasp-nighty....
It is OCTOBER.... I will be watching non-stop horror movies until Halloween!!! So I hope to see zombies and witches and ghouls around here ... if not I will make them myself!

Vilarcane, where's the matches with my CAS showcase versus you? Can you link me?

Putting that aside, that Taki idea imho feels like a rip-off of Natsu. Despite that, it does give me ideas for a particular CAS of mine.

at long last you are back...your drawings are always so great Beck (hope you saw my Ninja birthday sketch btw).
Ho, and what exactly would you suggest for good horror movies, the last decent one i saw was don't be afraid of the dark (producer : Guillermo del Toro).
Please, enlighten me, i love horror / fantasy...

i have posted nothing like that yet, because you did not deliver meaning : no comments in my thread regarding the CAS you saw live...i remember doing you the honours in your thread...you decide (i still have the replays of course)...you have already praised my work, it is not that, it is just i felt a bit letdown because you told me you would do the same (in our in-game chat remember)...
It takes an awful lot of time to do that kind of vids and upload them...
a bit childish i admit, but it is okay, i might post that insane Mandraxia vs Alpha Pat girl (the only one i won ;o)

yes, exactly, but it is ok if you don't like her, i can live with friends not liking 1 out of 150, i appreciate sincerity, and i'd still love her anyways. I know you pretty well, so i also know you might have been hurt about me not liking your Taki, but you have set high standards with some of your other CAS, so yes i was expecting something more original (not saying mine is, but hell she is beautiful in-game, and no it is no Natsu rip-off, at least not consciously) ;o)

Oh, and did i EVER write boring in my post ??? i never write such words (oops, i hope i really did not ;o)
 
Done with what?? making CaS?? hmm i always look to this chars i won't use anymore will be deleted and new chars can be made.... (or it might be something else.....)

yep, it means "done with CAS" creation, because i already had to delete some alternates, and now i am stuck with 150 unique CAS and considering the time and effort put into them, and the fact that my kid and i play them, i will not delete them.
You have made no in-depth comments on my CAS, so i guess you are either not very talkative, or you have not seen most of them...both of them are fine with me, but there is really plenty to see if you are now regular follower, slideshows, vids, artbooks, you name it...that would require a bit of patience though...i'll turn over to your thread a watch and comment on yours some more, ok ?
 
bonus pics i owe you :

Close-up on dark Algol's mask (could be used for a Masquerade themed CAS i guess)

A mitsu Shade concept, all set with ninja bombs (like my Taki above) did not make it into the final cast
c7sian9hqf0mc9rhu.jpg


The Matty CAS (posted in his welcome back thread), finding how to do and center the pupils did take...hmmm...quite some time ;o) same here, ditched but mostly because it looked absolutely boring in-game (as opposed to Alien Hooker which i kept in her Elysium version)
c7sicmjapk5mu5ppu.jpg
 
more pics of dark algol a few pages back if you like him...it has scared Le Bello big time in this fight...enjoy ! you can change the vid quality to HD, as it is a native 720p vid.
Mind the wall of vids at the end of the show where you can click on some of my other vids directly and go on watching

I'm not gonna flaunt on the fact I beat you more than you beat me. That wouldn't sit well with me as I know you're not interested in hardcore play. However if you want, I'll lose more on purpose. Not only will this boost your ego, all your vids will get a chance to showcase the CAS properly. I'll make sure to play stupid and lose. Then, once you post your vids of you defeating me, I'll start the giant wall of text of critiquing your CAS you'll use against mine.


That aside, you have way too much CAS for me to keep up with and I literally need patience to scroll through a library of CAS. However, you've already impressed me a lot. I don't have as much drive as you to create stuff like a maniac, but I admire that from you. You have a some CAS that wow me and others that aren't of my taste.



Regardless, keep on sharing.

A fair opinion. I'll let you off dawg. ;D

Now that sounds more appealing to me that getting crushed and AB all the time ;o) and you don't need to flaunt, you are one of the most respected Yoshi players in the world, i know that, and i admire that too (because Yoshi is one hell of a beast to master)...i posted vids of you crushing my Teeria with Pocky recolor, remember, just because it amazed me how flashy most of your moves and combos were.

And again, don't think i am not the competitive/hardcore player, or come join me in a battlefield session and challenge me in a jet or a tank, watch my shared replays on shift 2 unelashed or FM4, or more generally have a look at my gamerscore and achievements, or behold my 1000G at Kameo (people will laugh, but rare fans know that this is the most hardcore platformer ever released on 360, if you wanted high scores that is)...

Admittedly, i have never been very hardcore in fighting games (i still beat TOLS in SCIV and ended with more than 75% wins in ranked, but i had more time back then for training and all)

Just as in CAS, i am more to aesthetics and nice moves than spamming 10 hit juggle combos that take 3/4 of your life bar and make no sense to me in a SCIV (more Marvel vs Capcom stuff if you get me)

I understand it is very hard to comment when you are litterally drowned in (put an adjective here) CAS, i have the same problem when somebody posts 20+ CAS all of a sudden and is expecting precise comment on each and everyone of them, i can hardly keep track myself, especially not good at reading background stories...
I'd say what irritates me most is somebody posting an unoriginal CAS and making a bloated 2 pages long background story to counterbalance (waste of time, won't make me bat an eyelid)
And you see, i rarely express myself on my own CAS and stick to design notes, because i prefer others to tell me (and it is of course very subjective, some like cuties, some Anthros, some get nightmares out of them ;o), and see, when i do say i am proud of one, like this Taki, it is usually the only time i get less passionate feedback, so it is safer to stick to the "don't comment on your own stuff" rule hehe.

There are people that are really good at doing that kind of extensive reviews though, i'd name Le Bello (as my absolute favourite for the choice of words and that farewell post that really moved me, i will requote it again), and of course Fliptop and The Pascuzzi, or my lovely KiraxSummers friend.

You see that is the kind of discussion i like to have on a forum, not hardcore stuff, but still pleasant to read for you i hope...

Thanks for the compliments at the end of your post, that makes up for it ;o)
