Most Esteemed One-Shot Contest (Now in 4k!)

[VILARCANE]

My entry : incredibly pristine and incredibly gloomy...
I present Gaia, or Earth, she can't take it anymore...the end is nigh, either mankind listens to her,
Or she will fight back and RO the human race...forever.
This CAS is a dual, a diptych, a before and after...

 

[Onyyx]

Now, Soul Calibur, create a new world for Amy and me!

The idea for this creation was that after Raphael used Soul Calibur at the end of SCIV, it transformed him into what he wanted to be most, a guardian angel to protect Amy forever. Because Amy is still a child, she has a juvenile idea of what an angel would look like, so in the new world for both Amy and Raphael, this is the effect that wielding the spirit sword has on the French fencer.

This is my official entry for this round, kind of a step further for Grøh's "Black Demon", only this time he managed to somehow get a hold of both Soul swords. Now here he's not actually an adequate host for both swords, and he's succumbed not only to the malfestation of the cursed sword, but the spirit sword is also eating away at him slowly.

Since the hosts of both swords tend to retain much of their original design, I tried not to stray too far from Grøh's original design, which includes the bright hair, form fitting (mmm) attire, and overall monochromatic color scheme.

Sadly the horn on his shoulder breaks off during SC, and I couldn't figure out how to properly position it without it going wonkers in animations aside from his idle stance.

 

[NeclordX]

Damn it! I came with the "dominated by both swords" too. Anyway, here is my unfluenced by the two swords raphael

My last minute entry for this week I was able to throw together this afternoon:

SophieMare
Her dedication to the gods has slowed her transformation, but she too will succumb to the evil sword's power.

Spoiler

Ivy, begrudged Spirit Warrior
After defeating Xianghua, Ivy claims Krita-Yuga for herself not knowing the sword's true nature

Spoiler

Taki, Kunoichi Priestess of Balance
Determined to exterminate extremity and evil, Taki binds herself to not only the spirit sword, but the cursed sword as well

Your corrupt Sophie seriously freaks me out, so I guess that means good job

 

[Credeiki]

Can you post a picture of Taki from the front?
Those you have chosen do not allow you to understand how it really is.

Sorry I've been kinda MIA. Lots of interesting ideas this round. My vote goes to @VILARCANE's Gaia. Something about how he uses color to tell a story. Exceptionally beautiful work.

 

[Tael]

I vote for @Fatal_Exodus' Groh.

 

[KeJo]

i second @Fatal_Exodus 's groh

 

[Fatal_Exodus]

I vote for @Gatsu and his beautiful Mitsurugi edit. I’m in love with the tiny oni horn on the side.

 

[WindupSkeleton]

Onyyx's Raph, I love the rationale behind the design.

 

[Onyyx]

Definitely voting for @Fatal_Exodus's Groh. Every character we've seen so far that's been able to wield both of the swords has done so through mastery of them both, so it's cool seeing someone become a corrupted host for the twin blades .

 

[Norik]

I'll go with @NeclordX's Groh.

Honorable mentions to @Fatal_Exodus, @Alexandra and @Tael. Great entries!

 

[Onyyx]

NeclordX's Groh.

NeclordX didn't enter a Groh, did you mean Fatal_Exodus's Groh, or NeclordX's Raphael?

 

[NeclordX]

I like @Tael Yoshimitsu the most, specially the nightmerish one

 

[Alexandra]

@Fatal_Exodus had this one in the bag. The detailing in the stickering is great and the overall costume looks like a old-school SC concept art come to life.

 

[Ardent]

@Fatal_Exodus, you better start thinking about the next topic :D
Honorable mentions to @Alexandra, @Tael, @Gatsu, @Onyyx, @NeclordX and @VILARCANE, thank you all sincerely and immensely for sharing your awesome entries, this was one of the best contests to me! :D

 

[Norik]

NeclordX didn't enter a Groh, did you mean Fatal_Exodus's Groh, or NeclordX's Raphael?

Oh shit, that makes more sense lmao. Yes.
