Hey guys, i'm new here. I wanna share my original characters. However, my characters are not that good, they're kinda average imo. But i can improve my skill through time.. but if anyone want to give opinions, critics, or advise, feel free to do so :) So here it is:

Well, a lotta fanservice. Especially that one camera shot with female CAS with the vane helmet. But putting that aside, Pocky Yoshi picked up very little ideas to feed off of.

The red and black with natsu hair styled one was pretty clever using that dancer's top to make "ninja sleeves" for gauntlets. Overall it's fanservicey, but it gets points for intriguing Pocky Yoshi overall.

The male blind samurai is kinda common, but he stands out only because he's the only male in here. I'd change the pattern to a different oriental thing. As the Kanji pattern makes him feel tacky.

The rest well........it's just average fanservice stuff Pocky Yoshi could also make if he wanted. That's how he kinda felt about most of the female CAS.

However, don't take this as discouragement. Pocky Yoshi awaits your next share.
 
The guy kind of seems more like a Mitsurugi alt, though he doesn't look ~bad~. The rest is... yeah, pretty much what Pocky said. It's pretty standard fanservice. Not that that's a terrible thing, but you could perhaps stand to do more stuff with it, rather than just make a busty lady in a bikini with thigh-highs and gauntlets.
 
very cool hawt cas i wan 2 jak off 2 ur ninja n skoolgurl XD

That's all I can really say about your stuff. It's all pretty generic. I get the impression that you didn't spend much time exploring and utilizing the different capabilities of the CaS editor. Some of your parts are even left with their stock colors.

Next time, show us something that 1) isn't mainly fanservice and 2) is at least a little bit original. Even if it's a recreation from something else, that's fine (might wanna stay away from Cloud and/or Sephiroth, too many of those, already).
 
I'm not going to repeat what the other posters have said but I do wish to recommend you to a previous thread which helps people new to creation mode understand a few of the more advanced tricks for creating characters: http://8wayrun.com/threads/general-scv-cas-discussion-your-tips-tricks.12710/ and the place of the idea for that thread: http://8wayrun.com/threads/gatsu-wannabe-good-cas-guide-aka-how-to-create-quality-shit.9835/

both of those threads are great resources to helping people improve their creations. hope that helps ya.
 
As the total pervert I am I recommend you to put some clothes on female characters, girls in bikini (well characters I mean) are not sexy at all. You need to give them some clothes, to have something to thorn.

In general I find a lack of charisma. Is not that the designs are not good, and the color palettes seem correct, it's just they lack charisma.
 
Looks like what needs to be said about the creations themselves has already been said. That being said, the biggest flaw that hasn't been pointed out yet, imo, is your camera angles. I almost all of the angles are in some extreme manner that you mostly get profile shots or T&A and that's it. Show us what they are wearing with at least one good standing front shot, always always always. The only ones with a good shot that shows all of what they are wearing are Mitsu and white/pink Viola, but they don't have anything interesting to show off in the first place (Mitsu wouldn't even need a back shot if you angled the front shot to show his gourd). Additional shots are great, I usually include at least 3 shots per creation, but you should be able to get the whole idea across in a single picture if need be. Closeups are also unneeded unless you have specific details or likeness to show off on the face/specific areas of detail. Mitsu's closeup doesn't shine light on any particular details we couldn't see in the first picture, for example. He has no details on his head, so...eh?

Also, you might want to combine pics together, I made the mistake of posting individual pics like you at first and they suck bandwidth like there's no tomorrow, as well as make it more tedious to view a large number of creations at once. Also, spoiler tags and some text to help us differentiate them...I dunno, maybe some names? It's difficult to talk about anything in particular if we have to call them out based on their style and what they are wearing.
 
Ok, thx for the critics guys. Yea i agree with all of your comments and critics, i'll do what you all suggested. Though i must say.. all these are my very first creations.. so i didn't experiment much of the CaS tools. But the other one will be a little less fan service. So next time, i promise to create a better CAS.. and of course.. less fan service. And i'll also put the names of my characters.

Btw, i've already seen some really great and awesome looking CAS in this board. And i must say i learnt a lot from you guys and you gave me some inspiration and idea for me to improve my creating skill.

Oh, and sorry if this sound stupid, but how do i put spoiler tag?
 
Ling Mei
I find her too simple, i'm planning to give her more detail, like maybe.. add the fox tail on both her shoulders, or maybe other items that fit this character. Perhaps more stickers could be nice.

Dark Knight
I can't think of better name for this character :/ And, about the cape, i originally wanted the cape to look cooler, so i made the cape look split by putting the bat wings on the back and adjusted the position like that. But it turned out looking weird.. and a little forced. :(

Shoko
Well, as you can see, this ninja girl is similar to the previous one i posted, but with different outfit and leg armor and sticker. And again, not many details yet on her.. since i have no idea yet on how to make her look better.

Succubus
I tried to make a succubus.. but i think i failed miserably. I think i need to put more stickers or patterns on her body to make her look closer to succubus. But of course i need to be more creative on putting the stickers so they won't look dull, weird, and forced. And about the eyes, i purposely colored them purple and black.. to make her look evil and malfested.

Ling Mei - I agree with you in that she's still too plain. I recommend adding some kind of light headgear/accessories to emphasize that this isn't a Leixia 3P.

Dark Knight - This might just be my preference, but his armor is too ornate. If you really want to stick with those pieces, I'd recommend giving them a more monochrome color scheme. A little bit of detail color is fine, but not too much. I like what you did with the bat wings on the cape, though.

Succubus - I can understand why you still go towards a bare design on this one. She's a succubus, it's part of what she does. Try out some of the chest armor and belts and see how far that takes the design.

Shoko - Despite it being a relatively simple design, it actually works. I'm not sure what part you used for her headwrap, but I like it. I would have appreciated seeing some modification on the part colors, as a lot of these parts are still stock-colored, but red, black, and gold work well together, here. It's one of the few cases where I've seen a red and black color scheme not look generically grimdark and that's refreshing.

Hm.. I see, thx for the advice. I'll keep that in mind. Anyway, I still have some more CAS to share.. but they're still pretty much the same as the previous one though, not many improvements, still look generic and plain. Since all these screenshots I've uploaded them in my imageshack album, so I can't change them for now, cuz I'm still out of town.. and I'll be back in 1 and half month. Until then, I'll start messing with my CAS again.

So.. for this 1 and half month, prepare to get bored with my generic and plain CAS. lol :P
 
Egypt Princess
I tried to make an Egypt Princess.. and i made her to be simple. But maybe too simple? Btw, i only posted 1 angle cuz there's no other detail on her back.

Holy Knight
I wanted to color the clothes (the scarf, arms and pants part) to maximum white, the top left.. so he can look more holy/angelic, since the clothes look bright white, it's like they're glowing.. and that looks kinda cool. And i'm also planning to add little more detail on him to make him look more detailed.

Romance Teller
As you can tell from her name and her design.. i added the heart-looking sticker on her body to make her look like a romance teller.. like a fortune teller but it's not about fortune, but about love. lol And if you noticed on the Elysium's outfit, there's hearts symbol around the torso part.. i used that as advantage to emphasis more on her design that she's an expert in love relationship and that made her a Romance Teller.

PS: Sorry about the fan service again, but i designed her that on purpose, since she's a sexy romance teller, that's her concept design.. to look simple yet beautiful and sexy. And about the 3rd pic, just ignore the angle, i just wanna show you that i added the heart symbol on both her shoulders (not just one) and her lower-back.
