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

THE LEGEND WILL NEVER DIE (an epitath of sorts)

The French Cook aka L'Oeuf au Plat (Le Bello will translate instantly for you, don't worry)

La Fin...if you show any interest, i thought i could put together a last collection of pics with all the thumbnails (i also love doing thumbnails)
Click to expand...

The fried egg I believe.

I can't decide if that list is inspiring or insane.
 
Making the thumbnail shots, i realized i forgot in my list :

Thorn, Vampire Lady of the Rose
Centurio Hilde
I also put Mandraxia under Hilde when it is...well...a Leix...i suspect you guys did not carefully read the whole list, did you ;o)) (who would hehe !)

Now about the thumbnails, since i can only post 15 pics in a post, let's stick to the current up-to-data collection of thumbnails that include old ones as well as all my latest CAS.

Here you go !
PS : i would like to know which ones moved you the most or which ones you think fit the mood of the CAS best.

That was weirdly beautiful. Haha, I loved it! More please.

Though you might wanna look at adding an outline to the text - Sometime's it's hard to read =/

Glad you liked it.

Actually, the idea of Santa turned into a reindeer by Viola came looking at this stupid deer head i never ever thought of using on a CAS ;o)

Yes, the font is a bit hard to decipher, sorry for that, looks nice but if you need a looking glass ;o)

I also noticed i inverted words in the last pic (what am i gonna do now ?) but who cares it is (a) game speaking (haha, another pun) !

don't think i'll be doing more though...for a while at least (yes, you know me, everytime i try to quit, i fail miserably ;o)
La passion, monsieur !
 
Basically what is in my sig and copy/paste of updated page 1 (more content than you could wish for if you wanna delve into my CAS infested mind ;o)

Or for those who wanna go through some of my stuff again...
I watched my Online Symphony 1 again, and it was...nice souvenirs of our first matches with Le Bello...tears of emotion ;o)

Yes it is, though i would have liked to get a proper musketeer wig and Le Bello-class moustache to complete the costume ;o)
You know Le Bello even recreated that musketeer Vil in SCV, just for the guilty pleasure of kicking my ass with him/myself...silly but lovely !

But a token gesture compared to all you've done. I'm glad you liked yourself though! (I would have 'tached him had you yourself been 'tached my good man.)
 
Putting these all together is a nice reminder of the sheer volume of CAS that have appeared in this thread. A lot of interesting builds, some serious , some not so serious. VILARCANE, your work is the definition of original. There's a whimsical quality to all of it that is uniquely yours.........the kind of thing that if I tried would just be forced and unauthentic........a style all your own as they would say, and the hallmark of all the really good CAS artists in this forum.

There, happy? No impersonal likes, just a well-considered commentary........obviously I won't go through this entire mass of characters one by one....suffice to say the Biker is my favorite, and as a prehistorian/archaeologist myself I enjoy the humor of your Flintstonesque Cro-Magnon , but am inspired to create an archaeologically accurate rock-shelter dweller (yes, I know my French prehistory......... is your prehistoric brute Solutrean or Magdalenian?)

Thanks, whimsical is one of my favourite english words, and i certainly love that word being used to describe my CAS collection...As Chobek pointed out, i know for a fact i have reached a level of technical mastery of the editor that has opened a lot of new possibilities for messing around and doing all sorts of stuff, and while most of the ideas i had were brought to virtual life in convincing fashion, there are many brilliant ideas i made mental notes of i simply couldn't make work in the editor itself.

Now I am left with those miserable 220+ CAS to play with with my kids and friends, poor me ;o)

Oh, you are an archeologist, how interesting, i hope you noticed Jungle Leixia then as well as my cavemen.
A biker archeologist i guess then, wow, impressed !

Very funny for you to mention Magdalenian age, as it is also called "Age of the Reindeer" (see above hehe), because Magdalenians used animal bones to create tools and weapons, so i'd definitely go for Magdalenian for Cavegirl (see her head dress ;o)

And of course seeing your very good Tiger head warrior, i'd love to see what your Rock Shelter Dweller frenchman would look like ;o)

I will come up with a bonus CAS for you, mr Archeologist...stay tuned and please don't "like" it (if you get me ;o)
 
Here you go Quinion...The chief of the clan !
I was originally going for an archeologist Edge (i'll leave that to you then ;o), then looking at his grouchy face, beard and body paint i thought, hell, that could do a cool third caveman...

now you tell me which tribe he belongs to...Edge Masterlenian ? ;o)

Your wall of thumbnails inspires me to make my own...
Your cards are far more creative than mine though...
When I look at them I see the waves of creation and influence that swept through the board. I mean that in a very good way. Seeing one of your thumbnails reminds me of what I was working on at the time... and what others had up....Some that have moved on (to other games) . I also see a varied and compelling batch of CAWs to pique the interest and excite a newer creator. SCV has hit the clearance bin... I imagine there will be new artists popping up from time to time.
...as always....
Nice work!
