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

Well, the 1P in this game is just about as lame as Sieg 1P in SC5...talk about iconic characters getting lazy 1P costumes, shame on you Project Soul...
Glad you both thought i did him justice (along with my 2 previous Siegs).

Yea, shame on them, how could they make a lame costume for a badass character like Siegfried and Nightmare.. Well, they did well with their 1P costumes in SC4, but why they didn't in this game? even the some of the players (including you) are able to create a better and cooler costume for them (Siegfried and Nightmare) with the limited CAS parts.

Before I really delve into your latest things, I must ask how you got those cool black bands on owl-guys legs? Is it part of his under layers that you've built over, or what?

It is actually a part of the trousers painted black i guess, i just don't remember what trouser i have, no sticker or other trick there...
Please delve in my stuff as much as you like, by all means ;o)

The only costumes that wowed me were the two yoshi's and voldo 2P, to be honest, the rest is fine but too classic...and that Albubblegol, honestly ;o(
There is this awesome nighty 2P though (Darksider's War lookalike).
 
Updates and Mitsu P4 reveal :

I originally went for Natsu and Devil Jin style for Osiris, but i realized a lot of other styles suit him well, so here are a few pics of this very early CAS that stands the test of time and DLCs so well :

Another design I have been working with is the C-Ape-tain, which I think deserved a shot in the thread and outside the slideshows.

I have basically worked on refining this design with patterns and texture and got the idea of a banana-like pattern.
There are many different patterns on this one, to give him the intended comedic look that goes along with the simian face and tobacco pipe, without being unreadable.

Now, this last one is a SC5 iteration of one my SC4 Sensei (the one in the “project soul” slideshow)
I think it is good to post a reference pic of him to see how you can clean dust off an old CAS to make it up-to-date, so here is SC4 Sensei.

For SC5, I wanted a very expressive Japanese face, so I went for the obvious choice of a Mitsurugi P4 (after the Ronin one with the muzzle), now Mistu is just a few decades older, but still a fierce opponent !

Design notes :

-I tried to avoid the usual samurai haircut to give it a more gritty look
-The dagger used all three special equ slots but then it looks like a dagger, with patterns and gradients to give it a more realistic look and shine
-The tattoos are positioned to stage a mythic battle between a god and a dragon, and the tribal tattoo was preferred over the sticker 88 to give the blood gush a more stylistic aspect (like on Japanese estamps). Of couse, that kind of details is hard to notice in-game on any of the stances, so I did it for my own pleasure (and the viewers’ ;o)
-I experimented a lot of things on this one, I did white chest hair with raccoon tail, earrings on the chin, moustache add-ons with horns, but in the end I preferred to perfect the dagger accessory, and it looks great in-game.
 
That C-Ape-tain is top-notch! I really like the addition of the tobacco pipe, it makes him look so manly and macho! And Old Mitsu looks even more badass than his younger one. He now looks like a TRUE master of katana-weilding samurai.. no one will stand a chance against him.
 
With the new post I really enjoyed you bringing back some of your older characters ... Especially the SCIV comparison.
I would like to do something similar some day... We have more SCIV characters than SCV ... and a lot of the things we are making are upgrades from SCIV... but it seems like a huge undertaking.... maybe someday....
anyway cool to see!

...I specifically I like the pipe by the way! Reminds me of King Louie from Jungle book... wanting to be human... nice!

Design notes :

- The valkyrie helmet was the obvious choice for the lich and the eerie touch to the armor, along with the breastplate
- I used specific patterns to create the green mushrooms on the skeleton and the greenish armor
- The dagger uses the 2nd camouflage pattern to create the blood-stained blade
- The mengu boots i never used before, but i think it complements the undead look quite well
- I gave this one a hollow malfested yet feminine voice which suits the lich quite well (what, you can't hear it on the pictures ???)

Look forward to it sir :) keep your eye out for my new thread sometime today
 
You requested thematic slideshows, here they are.

A lot of brand new shots in those 2 (set in different stages, new ambient lights, and some funny moments)…

Skulls and Crossbones :

Space Opera
http://snack.to/pzui2k9c
In this last one, you will hear a whole different type of music, and you will see my updated version of Bumblebee, which I am now quite happy with (alternate style, but i kept the updated Asta as well)

I could do even cooler slideshows if I had the possibility to freeze the screen and take real action shots, so I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible on my LG Led 3DTV, I’d be happy to know H2 (I can do software updates if necessary)…
Then I could do a last mega slideshow remix…

 
I really fond on the new slideshows.. I love the musics, they're more suited to my liking :) And of course, I like the new in-game shots too, they're all cool as usual. Anyway, yea it's a shame that there's no feature to take in-game screenshot, cuz I would LOVE that feature very much if they added it in the game :(
 
Thanks...
I find it rather sad that Project Soul did not even think of putting an option to take the text off the pause screen, and to allow to pause during stances or replays...
it puzzles me how game designers today can be so oblivious of such little details that would make our life that much easier...
240 updates in the gameplay patch and no f.... Improvement to support the CAS creating community, like changing background in the editor or what i just suggested for the pause screen...sometimes i wonder if they even know we exist, or they just don't care.

Oh, well, rant mode off

Yea, I really miss those old says where game developers always being creative at making their games.. and care for even little details and put them in the game. And they also really care about their consumers, aka the gamers or the fans. Nowadays, most game developers only care about money, not care about how to make the best game possible. Most games these days are half-a**d, not 100% complete, and too obsessed with DLC.

Well, DLC is okay if used properly, but most of them use the DLC in a non-approriate way.. like locking the game content, release it at the game's release day, and then charge it. That's a really cheap way to make quick cash. Although I think mostly it's the game publishers' fault, not the game developers, cuz the game developers are only doing what they told to do, and they can't do anything but to obey.

Ok, rant mode off too. lol
