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

Thanks for bringing me to the headlines (in the armoury)...more than 16000 hits now, was it that high before, dunno...

Trip to Turkey was very enjoyable, and i actually ate a lot of chicken, but actually a lot more lamb !
Deliiiiiiiiiiicious !

Since i am done, when am i to see your thread (and your moth) ?
 
Tribute to Bek (confer last post in his thread) / artwork : heroic fantasy couple

Ok, sorries !
I'd rather refer to you as ChoBek all the time then, because i always get confused about who is writing and/or creating...Anyways, extend my appreciation to your other half ;o)
You are a talented couple indeed...
 
Let my thread rise from the dead...
Here comes Cervundead (Le Bello will surely find a better name for it) :

Background story (i got bonus pics that prove it), Cervantes was arrested and hung, and came back from the dead to kick some ass, with a brand new style that fits its new nimble body...and assorted round shield...
I put extra effort into the colors, to make it worn off / dirty clothes and rusty gold with touches of green...

The first two pictures are admittedly a bit rotten, but just here to show this anorexic CAS in its entirety ;o)

Skelvantes? No. Le Bello won't find a... CERVANTES DE LE-BONE.

No. No I failed.

LOVE THIS though. Oh Vil. The eyepatch/filled eye combo gives it that splash of character, and the beard has a kind of comical yet very serious aspect. I love it.

Not sure on the pattern on the Skeleton, it's great in the chest area, but looks odd on his legs. And I was thinking of adding the heart to mine, but opted out. It works well here, though maybe needs a bit more texturing?
 
Thanks ! heart is actually textured and bump-mapped, but from a distance, you can't tell, so i'll prolly work on it...
and for the bone pattern, i will see what i can do on my undead Cervy P2

Oh and the name, Cervantes de le-bone, classic ! but do i have enough character spaces, that is another story ;o) I knew you'd make my day...

i'll prolly go for a green eye though, as the blue tends to be too pale in daylight...here is your bonus pics, a few days after the hanging, after being marked on the chest...looks like this with equipment broken, xcept for the equipment that is ;o)
take a close look at the neck portion...

for you my friend :

Am I to take this that you've given me a hanging-scar for a present? Oh Vil, how ever did you know~?
Incredible subtle detail though - It tells the story of how he died. And the skin tone actually suits him. How odd!
 
Everyone is having far too much fun with the Skeleton Costume (myself included)! I even redesigned Kun-Chan based on it (which took some soul searching, considering my fondness for her design). I Love what you did with it! You used your accessorys well. Great show!
 
Definitely fun, i actually bought the whole thing because Lil Vil finds skeletons cool, so do I ;o)

bonus pic for Samara :

Now onto the P2, as promised...

Cervy here went on a boat trip on his gallion, got sunk by a french frigate from admiral Le Beau (Le Bello), and became the house of a couple of eels (in the end i recolored them black, see second pic for reference, because i thought sea snakes are not as good as eels for this kind of underwater themed undead). You tell me

His shiny golden armor became all covered with algoe and fish shit, hence the texture, the scarf has also been given leather pattern to make it look old and battered...

I listened to Le Bello and used the bump mapping pattern to give the impression of fish bitten / unregular bone surface...R&D by Vil

@Le Bello : because i am out of space, i put one one cloud, one on HDD, so when we fight again my friend, i'd have to swap savegame if you wanna see both of them ;o(

final build (black eels)

I'll also revamp the handle (added to the weapon, actually the ankle thing that comes with the DLC) to give it a striped pattern to mimic the rest of the weapon (it doesn't fully blend in right now, but just a tweak i figured out looking at the pics)

Same here, bonus pic in store for you...
 
Why did I see your undead Cervy befor I got the skeleton? Now my lazy idea of putting a skeleton in Cervy's clothes doesn't sound interesting anymore :(
