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

Nice P2 outfit, the hakama look nice, I am curious on to why you didn't use the actual tiger striped pattern on her fur, tail etc. It still looks legit though don't get me wrong, I'm just curious :)

Fur, what fur ? i used striped pattern many places, even on the tail for the original Tora, but the thing is, it is hard to tell because the pattern (even at max size) is barely noticeable on Ex Eq like tail.
There are other issues like the pattern being too dark on other parts of the CAS, preventing from matching colors acoordingly, so i had to make design choices to give her the best in-game looks :)

You saw how they worked in game now, what is your final verdict ?

oh and i loved your full possession natsu and that silly cute cosplay anime CAS with the titty kitties, so gnarly/fresh.
You should definitely post those 2 in your thread along with the slideshow shots of the others.
I'll be lurking for when it is done :)

I will most likely work on that within the next thirty minutes hopefully I still have the replays D: Oh and your Tors were excellent, very tribal and animalistic :D
 
My oh my you should save them right after your fight. I have on three saves all bust the best replays safely saved for watching with my kids our crazy fights w le bello you n some others :p
I got a lot of good shots. And the scenery in all of them is astounding! I took some shots of your CaS, so I'm going to post them in this thread. Is that alright?
 
But of course mylady. My CAS are copyright free. First time someone posts pics of my CAS, think i am gonna cry :)
Well you helped me out with getting A LOT of good shots of my CaS, it's rally the least I can do. You know after taking these pictures and editing them all I realize that SC5 has beautiful scenery, did you choose these arenas on purpose...?
 
I ALWAYS try to pick the best stage with the best mood for the soul be it yours or mine - choosing the night ship stage for your anime CAS only made her shine some more and made her seem so whimsical and uncanny.
I also changed the music on some stages like u did with a lot of taste.
Your the epitomy of good taste/choices when it comes to clothes and patterns :)
 
Here are those pictures that i owe you;

Your sea dog looks like a natural on that pirate ship!

Why thanks !

Those pics are awesome, and it is so relaxing to see your own stuff through others eyes !
Also you captured the silly timeouts of our funny over the top cheesy fights lol.

As Leix says : so cooool !
 
I'm sorry they're not what you expected, what were you expecting? Lol this is usually the way I post my CaS photos isn't it? O.O Anyways I just took these pictures because it gives you a general idea of what these creations are like in motion.
 
Thanks it was cool fighting you kiddo, stay tuned got some shots of our battle to come. pc should be up n running tomorrow.
 
First, i promised darkworlf, our youngest CAS creator out there (probably) to show some of his stuff in action, so here you go DARKWOLF'S CAS MINIGALLERY :

The Crow :
cglnexe12sb5shv70.jpg


This in an intriguing and dark CAS, works well in some stages, with a blend of armor and feather parts, but to me, if it is supposed to be some kind of twisted mancrow, beak should be yellow, the head or beak should be prolonged (see my vulture concept in animal kingdom thread) and maybe add feathers to do a more feathery head. I'd use grey instead of black for better likeness maybe...

The Paladin :

Classic knight with a crest, parts well chosen and works fine in specific stages like this one, but too white for an outdoor stage, blend of white and red suitable, as is the cloak (even if it clips badly with the helmet, but hey not your fault). A bit more details on the armor and cloak (like add. stickers) would be fine, maybe green blood on the armor and dents after a fight with a fiend, right ?

The ??? :
cglnkgbjzvb39ts18.jpg


This is one i like and it amused me though i fail to see the strong theme (part jester, part bard), but the design is funny enough with the mask and scepter, you got a good eye for mixing ExEq so they fit together, and i know it isn't a piece of cake sometimes.
More details needed on the clothing, and color spectrum a bit all over the place.

The wolf :

This is my favourite of yours and your emblematic CAS, i especially like how you designed the scythe, but maybe you should give the feathers of your arrow the same silver color so it blends with rather than distracts from the blade. Style fits the CAS just fine, again very dark, but hey, i noticed purple and black are your thing, and i got no problem with that :P

Darkwolf is not happy for getting his ass kicked (7 out 8 times)
 
First, i promised darkworlf, our youngest CAS creator out there (probably)

Psst Vil. I think you might've forgotten about your own son there. Don't worry, I won't tell social services.

Anyways, if "Mancrow" is supposed to be a crow, then his beak is the correct colour. (Grey is also an option). I believe you're thinking of blackbird's, mon ami, which in fact have yellow beaks sometimes. Easy enough mistake though. I like what I can see of it anyway.

The Templar is alright. Fairly standard. I can see you've tried to make him less generic by using that helmet ornament, but it doesn't really add much to him and kinda looks like a mohawk. :P

I like the uh... The guy. With the mask. He's unique. Nice job on the sceptre/rod there too. I wouldn't say the colour pattern was too mismatched, as all the different parts are realistic colours. Just because he's wearing a yellowy/brown outfit doesn't mean his rod should be gold/orange/yellow etc. And the turquoise belt adds a bit of eccentricity to him. I like it.

My only suggestion on the wolf that Vil didn't make was that you should avoid using that level of black. Bump it up a couple of saturation levels (or down if it's 9) and then head for a choice between 27-29, as "true" black looks cheap and tacky. The scythe is excellently done though, but I agree with Vil on the silver feathers.
I'd also make the knives a bit of a darker red - It looks more grim and realistic.

Generally, brighter colours make things cheerful and charming, the opposite of what it seems you were going for. Compare the knives to the purple on the wings. The wings are beautifully done - They look like they belong, they look natural, they look threatening. The knives, by comparison, look plastic.

All in all a lot of potential, you just need to mature your tastes a little I think. Remember that less saturated colours will makes things visually more impressive, and less "ARGH MY EYES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY!?" :D
 
[Notice] Let's not start any hacked CAS show-off. If anyone wants to show them, invite certain members you like in PMs or keep it out. This goes to anyone else. Failure to do so will result in some consequences. If you still have a problem with that, PM me and I'll lend an ear.

Niccolo= The ???: My attempt at making a mysterious yet non-dark CaS. It appears I have failed. He is a demi-god that has split personalities and dual wields "Time and Space".

Okami Jin=The Wolf: Ultimate form of my main CaS Jin Kurokaze,father of the aforementioned Crow, I don't know how a Wolf fathers a Crow but they're both dark and cool, so I dont care. I like the scythe too, but personally I feel it is too small and it bothers me. And the thing with the knives is that I felt He needed more than the standard black/blue/purple palette that my other CaS have.

Niccolo - How did you fail exactly? The main comments were that was mysterious and intriguing. Seems like a success there.

O.Jin - Red is fine, note I didn't say "don't use red", I said "don't use bright colours".
 
Sorry for the delay, Vil! I could probably have typed stuff out via smartphone, but now I finally have access to a desktop and keyboard, so I believe I'm finally on the right track. I should have Tora's background figured out by tomorrow. You've released lots of fun stuff since my absence so I'll definitely have more in-depth analyses soon!
