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

Seeing the match ups in the Online Symphony was a lot of fun... I don't play on line .... it scares me, but the first weekend I got SCV I went in a couple of beginners rooms ... I waited a very long time then got beaten... but it was exciting!! Seems like you guys have a lot of fun.... I mean tough competitions :)
Bumblebee looks good .. I didn't notice the changes really ... but his latest pics make him look hulking as any huge robot should.

Sorry for the delayed response .... We had an emergency toilet repair that we assumed we were up to.... I think it is fixed now but next time I am calling a plumber...
I see you are away for a few days now ... Good Luck!

Thanks for the comment, yeah, online can be quite intimidating at first...
My, My, broken toilets and xboxes, i leave and all hell breaks loose ;o)

Actually, i am a couple of hours away from taking my car to the airport, so i figured i could stop by one last time with a huge good-bye present...i have been very busy (took me a couple of days) building a playlist of fights between my newest CAS characters, and a few alternates or all-time favourites.
If you wanna see competition (at our modest proficiency level of course), the last video of the playlist is a pretty good example of a close fight against Le Bello's SCIV guest character recreation.

I used the same online tool i used for the slideshows, so i hope it works just as good...

That'll leave you (hopefully) some time to fill this thread with interesting comments and debate about CAS, instead of plumbers and whatnot ;o)

I made 3 different versions, one in HD 720p, one in high quality and one in SD.
On my old computer, the HD version (undeniably the best because you can see all the details) has framerate issues...
Full screen can be enabled, even though the screen is sized for optimal viewing (normally)

This is a playlist, so it is intended to be watched as a movie (25-30mn i'd say).
Of course, you can always pick the videos you want to see or rewatch (move your mouse to the bottom and a slider magically appears, etc....)
95% of them are new and some of them funny (check out the time out gimmick of a very tired Myrmidead for instance)

Let me know what you think so i can come back and have the pleasure to read you again ;o)

Vil out (for real this time ;o)

But thanks for the comment, i was expecting more of them actually, even if i was away...but hey life sucks sometimes ;o)
Anyways, i had a really good time in Copenhagen for 2 days, a lot of work but also a lot of fun (beers, good food, good weather when we were out, and a nice multicultural group, a bit like on this forum...)

Welcome back! And glad you had fun! I'd by lying if I said I wasn't jealous~

I'd have commented more, but I got wrapped up in the Gay or Straight thread, which was closed because trolls infested it. Such a shame.

Gay or Straight thread, lol ?
BTW, you are one of the nicest and wittiest gay guys i know (actually i know another one, german, who is just about as nice and witty as you are ;o)

Don't be jealous, i brought back a box of danish chocolate for you...
/insert "box of danish chocolate" /insert
Gosh, that doesn't seem to work as good as my pic posts ;o)))

I had a troll in this thread once, never feed the trolls (mythical norwegian creature, not far from Denmark actually)

There was a gay or straight thread... ??? I miss everything :)


@ Vilarcane

Welcome Back !
 
I tested the playlist again Chobek, definitely nothing queer with it ? ;o))
Can anyone confirm...along with a three page review if that is not too much too ask of course (dohohohohoho)...
 
Ok just finished watching the vids, very good indeed
I've said it before and I will say it again, you truley are the king of the anthro's and you know how to push the special equiopment to the limit!

I really liked your redesign of Maxi as simple a it was it soooooooo worked along with all your standard character recreations, after watching them it has really made me want to do my own version of Agol. I also loved your more sci-fi take on creation, now while I like them I not really sure they work in the world of Soul Calibur but then every creator is different and has thier own criteria when making a character so thats not really a criticism just a prefrence :)

Again not really a criticism as much as I LOVE your stuff I would like to see some more human faces as it helps me to connect to a character more, I also think giving some of your characters actual name for the same reason, having said that you know how much I adore your Insect characters
I some how think my life is all the better knowing that theres some that can make this stuff and make it well ;)

I should also say that your recreations are also fantastic and stay very true, your Hellboy for instance was amazing!

Great work my friend

You have some awesome CaS. WELL DONE!

Could you please post thr formula for this Bruce Lee (including the body type and everything)

Thanks

Hi Psypher, i'll have a look and post it soon, you have certainly done right to ask for body type, it is a big part of the soul and ressemblance to the real life BL.
 
Vampire themed CAS and slideshow :
For the full experience with new in-game pics and music, please watch the following musical slideshow (only a couple minutes long) :

http://snack.to/pzt548a5


Fang

c55c3wsujyemow4og.jpg


c55c52anu339mtcq8.jpg




Design notes :
-P3 for Pyrrha Omega, because I wanted the orange eyes and pale skin for vampiric look
-Used a horn to do the wood stake in the heart gimmick, along with cow pattern to do blood stain on the skirt while retaining the purple color
-Colors of the costume were altered to blend in with those of the shield
-

Belmont (Raphael P3) :

c55q29bib0xp8ilmc.jpg


c55c9akeli217njxs.jpg


c55c646231atmpho0.jpg


Design notes :
-Vampire killer, hence the vane mask and the cross on it (2* “1” stickers)
-Added a piece to the lower part of the helmet for fun and good looks
-Two suns (vampire hate sun) on the armor part using cloning property of the roman chest piece
-Mini-stake throwing crossbow on the right hand (deadly !)

Vamp :

c55q57t86vz2dw8vo.jpg


c55capwwf8l7lbueo.jpg


c55ccb50bl97f2e9c.jpg


Design notes :
-P4 for POmega, for the eyes again, with malfested arm piece matching the eyes
-This is the vampiric form of Vamp, capable of flying
-Used cowskin pattern and snake pattern to give the clothing an organic semi-organic look with colors matching the head
-Bat wings to do the collar
-Elf ears can be used to do vampire ears as well as bat nose, as you can see

Gargoyle :

c55q1tr5dkz5xy038.jpg


Design notes :
-Used a very special combination to do the gargoyle head : blind helmet, skull mask, and black eye stickers for the 3 eyes
-Overall black-grey color with a touch of green to give the stoney & batlike feel

Thorn :

c55q2yyal56n7oph0.jpg


c55qa3es3b8l35a7o.jpg


Design notes :
Elder Vampire of the Rose.
The whole CAS is built around the theme of thorns and roses, a romantic soul once gardener of the castle. Turned vampire by her master, she now haunts the maze garden cutting flowers and snipping lifes of the poor souls getting lost in it...forever.
Gargoyle and Vamp are her minions, once beautiful girls longing for a romantic moment in the everlasting beauty of the lush garden's green and red concerto...

side notes : she actually looks A LOT like Vanessa Paradis (Depp's ex ;o)

Thanks in anticipation for your comments !
 
Now i made a promise to Le Bello i would post sometime, so...
a proud dad introduces you to the real deal : Lil Vil amazing CAS gallery (3 CAS and not so growing)

Gusto le Cuistot (a shockingly good display of special equipment use lol) :
c55vscqf7t0bf3oj8.jpg

c55vt0kwr3bmbci5w.jpg


Bear in mind he is only 7 yo and got no help from me !
Also, only levl 18 in the game so he hasn't unlocked very many things yet, but you can see where he draws his inspiration from (well, apart from the Gusto-cuistot he got out of his child brain).
Your comments are welcome and will be translated into french for him ;o)
 
man... that vamp is realle really cool!!! looks like "legacy of kain" series!!! I loved it!!!
Fang and Thorn are just amazing too... and you made a awesome Belmont version!!!

Thanks, i'll probably fine tune Belmont some more, not sure about the gorgon armlets frankly ;o)
Hope you saw the slideshow as well...

i have gotten a request for a formula, so i'll probably make 2 vids because i am too lazy to write stuff down : one for bruce lee and one for ?
If you got one in my CAS collection you'd like to clone, let me know who...or i'll take a pick myself for one that i think is complicated or creative enough ;o)
