@Shadow: I think the easiest way to start male CaS is to create some sort of a knight. The armors are among the most interesting attires for male to me. I'll just throw some of the male CaS I made back then but eventually deleted to add fan-service versions of my female characters. So yeah, I never really got interested in the male CaS I made, especially because of their voices. If I play with male characters in SC, it's the main ones.
I had 25 Male CAS and 25 Female CAS around 2 Years ago but I mostly used the same face for the Male CAS (Face 1 and the other face with the beard and cool eyes.)
And yeah I made some knights in heavy Armor but I felt like the Female CAS had more potential for me to tap into and slowly day by day I would delete a Male CAS and replace it with a Female CAS until well...The results right here.
I had 50 but I deleted some styles I didn't use to make 1 Vader and 3 Different Rock outfits.
Then again I might delete 2 of my rock outfits and my Other vader outfit to create more CAS.
But first I'm going to start working on my beautiful CAS. Now if only I had a way to post some pictures....>_<
Vincent May I have permission to draw Sarah Rayne out and Post it in the Art Section?
She Is a gorgeous character and I was also going to draw my CAS as well.
Tell me do you draw out your CAS first or do them on SCIV?
The way I do mine are in steps.
A.) Think of a Gender.
B.) Proceed to think of the character's personality and backstory which affects which Style/Weapon they will use.
C.) After Choosing the style I proceed to look through Items that Fit the character.
D.) Once all the pieces of clothing are in place I proceed to edit and change the Color Scheme.
E.) After the color is finished I work on the Face/Hair/Eyebrows/Eye Color Extensively.
F.) Then I proceed to Physique and Muscularity and make sure it fits in tone with the character.
G.) Then I proceed to test out the Different Skin tone colors (Sorry I don't make Red/Green/Pink characters -_-)
H.) Once the skin tone is in set I work out the Voice and the pitch as well.
I.) Once the voice is done I choose a weapon that not only reflects the character's personality but also matches with my color Scheme.
J.) Then I proceed to Draw or Sketch the character on my Sketch pad.
K.) Then I end up watching Law & Order: CI, CSI, or NCIS.
L.) Proceed to sleep.
I am deeply honored that you would like to draw my character and would be very happy if you did. For my CaS characters most of them are already made prior to creating them on soul calibur 3 or 4. they come from a series of stories I've been doing since middle school. for me the order I make my people is.
1. I create the character by drawing them out. normally brought on a sudden gust of inspiration.
2. I come up with their background and personality as I draw them and then design them accordingly
3. I come up with a name for the character at the end of the drawing.
4. I turn on my xbox360 and insert the SC4 disc :)
5. I design a CaS character and try as hard as I can to capture the same type of clothing the character would actually wear.
6. find a voice that closest matches my character's tone or personality and then just design as closely as possible to the original.
then I'm done. I'm really gonna try to do some other drawings of the other characters. I have a binder full of drawings just haven't really put them on.
this is the first draft of dark Elisa (Sarah's daughter)
this is Sarah and her sister Serenity. Sarah is the little girl. Serenity is the older one. they are twins. this is before the two disappeared.
Wow, there are so many incredibly talented artists on this thread! It's all very inspiring :3 I will make a contribution as well... I'm still learning and the internet is not a kind place so I don't upload much but since this is 8wayrun, I don't think I'll be laughed at.
I know this looks feminine but he's male (still learning!) And yes, that's the Requiem in his hands (XD) and the lyrics to 'Numb' by Linkin Park are written on the ribbon (corny, I know) ... You probably guessed but creating him on SC was a disaster ^^;
Well, I found neat stuff although I skimmed. I will do a detailed report of my opinion on these interesting stuff later. Although first, I should worry about my own customs and the comics.....

Ahem then without further ado I bring you my version of Sarah Rayne (Original Creator Vincent Rayne so all Compliments should go to him.)
After 3 Hours of Sketching Shading and Editing (Along with my hands hurting more than playing Fury of the Storm on Expert Guitar in Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock.)
And the fact I listened to a 10 hour version of Requiem for a Dream while drawing this.
I finally completed it. I made a few changes.
1.) Her eyes are Semi-Realistic now while still keeping that "Anime" charm to it.
2.) Her chest has gotten more fuller (Yes I'm a pervert.).
3.) More spikes in her Bob hair cut indicating she hasn't cut it in awhile.
4.) She has 2 cuts on her. One on the cheek and one on the shoulder. The 3rd cut has a small bandage over her. Why? For the sole purpose as if her life was on danger. As if she was being chased or being hunted. Wanted to make it feel more "Gritty"
5.) Added a Brick wall at the cut off point of the Original Picture to indicate she is hiding or eavesdropping on someone.
This isn't the Final version. I also intend to draw more pictures of the recently posted ones of her. Maybe change the dress and make it more "Gothic". But Like I posted In no shape, credit, or form this is my character. All Credits deserve to go to vincent for giving me an opportunity to use his character to draw.
Now if you all excuse me this Requiem for a Dream is giving me a Damn headache and my right hand is cramped up. Also I'm slightly tired so I will take a quick rest before working on the 2nd version of her. (If I still have Vincent's permission).
The version I post will be the original drawing however once Photoshop is loaded on my computer I will post a better looking version of the picture.
So here you guys go. Now if you don't mind I'm going to try find my damn camera so I can show you my CAS >_<
Deadline to submit your customs is November 1st. This will be the second to last comic featuring Pocky Yoshi. This one will be special holiday version for both Halloween and Thanksgiving, so I will allow up to 5 CAS this time around. Basically, don't be shy to share formulas or post pics since I will steal them to put in comics. I already have my five plus one with Pocky Yoshi. So why can't they mingle around with mine in Othreinsburg castle or whatever it's called. BTW, I like everyone's creativity. Got me inspired to whip out my humble makes.
For those who didn't see them, here they are. For those who did, disregard this.
Originals
Rei Hayashi Hails from: Japan Race: Asian Gender: Female Age: 19 Favorite color: Red Likes: Strawberries, fighting, travelling, cooking, and her family. Dislikes: Jerks, killing, and bugs. Gist: The typical cliche character. Young girl with a passion for fighting yet doesn't like to kill. Particularly nice and noble but can be a bit stuck-up if someone treats her harshly. She asked and left her family to join the Manjitou just to satisfy her fighting nature. Weapon styles she wields: Yoshimitsu, Mitsurugi, or Seong Mi-na.
Arnora Frigard Hails from: Norway Race: White Gender: Female Age: 22 Favorite color: Blue Likes: Power and winning at any cost. Dislikes: Weaknesses and losing. Gist: She is a harshly blunt, arrogant, condescending viking lady who loves a good fight and will respect her opponent no matter how the fight went. But that's only if you defeat her. Yet many men will try to hit on her which she in return just provokes them with anger so she can defeat her enraged foe by staying calm and collected while being a jerk. Her hobbies tend to be living the farmer's life quietly when not fighting. Weapon styles she wields: Seong Mi-na or Sophitia.
Deming Lin Hails from: China Race: Asian Gender: Male Age: 35 Favorite color: Black Likes: Liang, fighting, and food. Dislikes: Weak willed people and cowards. Gist: He's competitive, blunt, confident, and is a bit hot-headed. Back in China, he was an exceptional fighter that won a good amount of tournaments. However, Liang defeated him in a championship match in China once. As a result, he made Liang his rival which soon evolved into a friendly buddy to spar with. Basically, he sees him like an elder brother. They both are travelers that want to prove that China has great fighters. They are currently in europe to prove it... Weapon styles he wields: Yun Seong or Maxi
Mi-sun Yi Hails from: Initially Korea, but grew up in Ming empire Race: Asian Gender: Female Age: 19 Favorite color: Pink Likes: Longs to see her parents back in Korea. Dislikes: Emperor of Ming empire and war. Gist:
She is a daughter of a Korean father whose a soldier that infiltrated Ming empire to find a Soul Edge fragment. The mother is a Chinese concubine who happened to be captured to be used as a hostage once Mi-sun's father was caught red-handed stealing the shard. At first, they were rather hostile to each other. But later after a few months leaving Ming empire and making it back to Korea, they fell in love. Thus, Mi-sun Yi was conceived and they planned to get married.....until their affair was found out by soldiers that supposedly said they're from Korea. Mi-sun's mother begged them not to kill her while Mi-sun's father valiantly fought his way to save his love and child. Little did Mi-sun's father knew, the soldiers from Korea were using him to get the shard. Because, they wanted to infuse it with a sword built for the emperor for they were actually spies from the Ming empire this whole time. Basically, Mi-sun's father was a set-up from their corrupt scheme. The soldiers decide to take the newly born Mi-sun away to spare Mi-sun's father and his love as their way of mercy. Mi-sun's father was enraged and tried to pursue them back to Ming empire, but was too tired to go on after brawling with them. As a result, Mi-sun's father and mother are saddened to lose their child. Years pass and what they're doing now is a mystery.....
The info on the top is fanfic intro.... As for Mi-sun Yi, she grew up in the Ming empire and was looked after as a concubine at first. But she later showed great demonstration of her skill in the Halberd, Spear, and bo-staff which made the emperor transfer her into the infantry to become a soldier as a "special case". She's to serve the old geezer in any way possible. Even allowing the poor girl to allow him to touch her in a way she detests. But the emperor has absolute power over her and uses the dirtiest blackmail trick ever. He says, "serve me well, and I may let you see your father and mother." Mi-sun Yi is a tragic heroine because she's just powerless against that...... Weapon styles she wields: Hilde, Kilik, or Seong Mi-na
Liang Meng Hails from: China Race: Asian Gender: Male Age: 38 Favorite color: Orange Likes: His family back in China, Deming, posh acessories, and fighting. Dislikes: Spoiled fools who don't appreciate what they have. Gist: Liang is a wise, calm guy with a passion for fighting. He is Deming's rival and buddy who wish to show the world that China is the best. While Deming is hot-headed, Liang is more cool headed and wise to know his strengths and weaknesses. The reason why he took up fencing despite being impeccable at wielding a bo-staff, was because he finds it fascinating. He even wears a silly monocle as he likes posh accessories from europe to show he loves fencing. Deming begs to differ..... Weapon styles he wields: Raphael or Kilik.
And this is the mascot that meets and greets CAS from other people like Sophie-chan's or KiraxSummers's. Bewarned that if your CAS is an attractive female, he will hit on you. Anyways, yes it's a simple Yoshi edit, but Pocky Yoshi's identity is a secret to most like his sensei Yoshimitsu. His trademark gear always revolves around the colors: blue, pink, and white. He loves his pink scarf atm though.....
His old yet notorious attire he's usually seen wearing.
So Anyways I'm allowed to post 5 pictures of my CAS?
Sweet are sketches/Drawings accepted also?
Edit: Here are some of them.
Name: Rose.
Age: Does it matter? She's legal.
Height: 5'10
Weight: You know women don't tell you.
Style: Iaido
Personality: Cold/Mean/Anything not nice :(
Background: Oldest of the Sakura Triad. Her ruthlessness has allowed her to kill anyone or anything she suspects hostile. Her skills with the katana are much better than her two sisters however her Cold Personality also keeps her at a disadvantage. Her background like the other 2 sisters is shrouded in mystery. The only thing is known is her ability to do a single slash however in reality she does multiple slashes in succession.
Rose was given her nickname for how her clothes would be stained a Rose-Crimson color after a battle. Also she's beautiful to look at but dangerous to touch.
Name: Willow
Age: I don't know. Something generic like 19 or 20.
Height: Short.
Weight: Skinny.
Style: Battojutsu
Personality: None of your business >:O
Background: The youngest of the Sakura Triad. Willow must not be underestimated for her age. She alone out the three is the only one gifted with the ability to master the double edged blade. Using the high degree of offense from the blade mixed with her Battojutsu has given her name true meaning. The grieving blade is what they nicknamed her weapon for once you get cut by it, your regrets flash before your eyes before you die.
Her past is a mystery as well but she is more outgoing than Rose is. (Hell even Bruce Wayne is.)
Ah, well Pocky writes this cute cutscene sort of comic in the Misfortune Comic thread. It's kind of a platform for all our customs to basically hang out and hit on people/get hit on :) You could check it out if you wanted to.
Nice drawing KiraxSummers! And Pocky's idea sounds quite fun haha.
Here are some more characters. I mostly use only the first three faces, but at times uses two others that are lower in the selection list. Also, you might notice that their color scheme are often similar/the same as their weapons. Sometimes I based it from the weapon, and other times it's the other way around; I pick a weapon similar to their color palette.
Ruby
I was trying to find a use for the hat, so it turned out into this.
Yunfei
Amrita
The same goes for her, I wanted to use that mask somehow.
Adaeze
Created just to have some kind of female Voldo, but since the disturbance factor is gone, I usually still pick Voldo to fight against.
Uriel
Ayako
Obligatory silent ninja.
Xiu Yin
She was like an offspring of Kilik and Xianghua, before I knew about Leixia.
Lastly it's Marian's 4th outfit, which I made so that she fits better with Siegfried's CF.
Marian 4P (Frigid Blade)
Her weapon, Gram, also used in her 3P outfit, is a legendary sword in her back story, which gave her enough power to defeat Helma when the latter obtained Soul Edge. However, after the threat has been vanquished, the sword became dormant. She still uses it though, and though she doesn't have the surge of power from before, she inherited its ice powers.
Ah, well Pocky writes this cute cutscene sort of comic in the Misfortune Comic thread. It's kind of a platform for all our customs to basically hang out and hit on people/get hit on :) You could check it out if you wanted to.
Well My camera has crappy quality so the only true way for me to show you my characters is either my Video or by fighting me online.
Anyways here's the next batch of CAS.
Name: Lily
Age: 22
Height: 5'9
Weight: 135 lbs
Style: Shinkendo
Personality: Innocent, Kind, Loving and other Mushy Adjectives
Biography: The middle sister of the Sakura triad. If rose possess the speed of wind and Willow the Power of Fire, it's natural Lily carries the Defense of Stone. Her Shinkendo has been refined for pure self-defense and rarely does she ever kill a person. She disapproves of Willow's Recklessness and Rose's cold heartedness but still as her sisters she will fight to the death to protect them.
Her name was given to her for kindness and gentleness like the Lily plant however even though her blade is mostly built for defense it can not in no way be underestimated for power. Unlike Rose and Willow, Lily is the only one who can remember faint memories of her past.
Name: Ellen the Golden Royal Knight
Age: 29
Height: Die scum!
Height: 5'11
Weight: Begone heathen!
Style: High level Nemian Sword and Shield Techniques.
Biography: The youngest person ever to achieve the status of Golden Royal Knight in the Kingdom of Nemia. She is considered a prodigy amongst her peers in her generation and even rumored to rival the Royal Paladin in terms of power. She is fierce, loyal, and very stubborn if she usually doesn't get her way. However her hot-headedness isn't a weakness, it's her strength. She is well known for her feint tactics with the Shield and Sword and also known for her incredible and unusual willpower.
When most people fight and get injured they get weaker the longer the battle progress, however it seems to work in polar opposite. With her Signature Sword 'Reikmund' and her Armor blessed by the Golden Saints she gets stronger the more health she loses making her dangerous the longer the battle wages on. However this by no means makes her invulnerable to death for she has come too often within it's cold grasp.
Name: Valorie the Crimson Seductress
Age: Don't worry about it hun
Height: 6'0
Weight: Ain't that a rude question
Style: δαίμονας φονιάς (Demon Slayer in Greek)
Biography: All that is known about her is that Lita is currently hunting her down for unknown reasons. However what is know little about her past is that she was part of an order who hunted and slayed demons across the globe. However she made the one fatal mistake a demon slayer should never do....Become the enemy. By studying ancient and Dark techniques she gained the power of demons to fight them but at a heavy cost.
She must feed off human soul's and constantly to maintain her existence. She has become cursed, Damned...Forsaken. The honorable Demon Slayer is long gone. Now she seduces men and steals their souls to continue her miserable existence. This...creature must be stopped at all cost and Lita is making sure her reign of terror is brought to an end.
And now a special guest....
Beware >:D
Name: Kiana the Imperial High Queen of Nemia.
Age: Freaking old but she's still hot O_O
Height: 5'8
Weight: 132 Lbs
Style: Piercing Heaven
Biography: The Imperial queen of Nemia itself. She rules the land with a Strict iron fist and tolerates no rebelliousness or foolishness in her presence. She has been the queen longer than most people have been alive yet she still maintains a youthful appearance. Her ascent to power was swift, quick, and brutal after eliminating the last Queen and King in mere moments. Once a Hot-headed brash young woman who in weeks became a brutal, cold, and heartless ruler of a nation, she quickly took over the surrounding countries in months and became known as an equal to the Ancient King in terms of Strategy and Cunning.
Kiana power comes from her sacred rapier "Piercing Heaven". The blade is rumored to be older than nearly any weapon to date and has the power to match a god. However countless people have tried to tame this simple, small, elegant blade and had their life force drain from them. Yet Kiana swiftly picked up the blade and wield it like a children's plaything. Her hand to hand combat is superb and her agility is on a different level of existence. It's rumored not even a room with no Doors and a giant steel spike trap could touch her.
But her greatest strength is her mind. She can see and plot the openings in an opponent in nanoseconds and quickly undermine them. Her observation skills are on a entirely different level to the point of rumored to be Omnipotent. Her mind is a Steel trap and many would be conspirators have found their heads at the end of her Royal Guard Regime before they could start any true organization. Her vast knowledge of weapons, alchemy, and even rumored magic itself is impressive.
She is no ordinary woman. She is a demigod in a woman's body. To even slightly underestimate her is to face your execution by her guard. She is as ancient as nearly her kingdom and is plotting as we speak to crush anything that opposes her...
working on another drawing currently. it's the original pic of this girl.
Venia (Queen of the Jupiter Realm. Master of Lighting)
Age: 33 (stopped aging physically at 22)
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 100lb.
Style: Lightning dance.
Venia comes from a very cold and calculative family. Being the best when it comes to strategy as well as having one of the most powerful natural elements in their control the Royal family of Jupiter Realm have never lost a war nor battle. Unfortunately, due to the family's cold nature they had no allies. That is until, Xandria Madeline Tyrral the Queen of Saturn, marched on Venia's land demanding a mock battle. Venia new of Xandria's reputation and the famous battle where the Saturn queen obliterated a whole army on her own. Her power was unrivaled. Where Venia was very good with strategy she was surprised to find Xandria just as cunning. With Xandria's army having both great intelligence and power as opposed to only Venia's good mental preparedness the battle was quickly over with Venia on the losing side.
The loss was a heavy blow to Venia's family but more importantly Venia's pride. Xandria came up to Venia and offered to teach her the ways of Saturn Realm fighting. Venia quickly cheered up at the thought of learning new strategies and techniques in battle but soon it grew to more than that. Xandria was able to open the closed shell Venia held herself in for years and the two became best friends and now form the most powerful allies in all the Realms.
not finished yet but gonna take a break for today. I have a picture of Sarah fighting a character called Lain that similar to Venia but it's a lot of work so I'll only work on it if people really want to see it.
Lol vincent. I know venia was doomed the moment I read "only Venia's good mental preparedness".
Glad to see you didn't make it cheesy how one side beats the other superior overwhelming army simply out of Willpower/Being good/ Plot armor. Makes it seem more realistic. Alright kira time to post some CAS too XP and give me some more background stories!

hah! thanks. I took time with making sure it didn't meet any cliches. I agree with you on Kira posting more pictures and CaS characters. that drawing was really nice. It's nice to have a place where all the artistic people on 8WR can come together and share thinks they have in common. their love for art.
tomorrow I might work on that picture of Lain and Sarah fighting. that's gonna take a while though but if I start at noon I should have it up by 6-8 p.m. or earlier. depends if I have anything going on.

Name: Liana Darkmoore.
Age: 36
Height: 6'0
Weight: Do you want to die punk?
Style: Great Blade Dance
Biography: One of the 7 Royal Guards to the Queen of Nemia Kiana. Liana is known for her remarkable speed and strength with the Great Sword. Normally when one carries a 50-60 lb 2 handed weapon their swings are slow and powerful, however Liana has overcome that physical limitation to be able to move freely as if the weapon was a 10 lb sword. The weird part about it is her ability to still deliver powerful and punishing blows. Using her different stances as a feint for an enemy to attack her when she think she is vulnerable, she can quickly deliver fast and brutal counter-blows in seconds before an enemy has time to react. This has given her the title the 'Blade Dancer' for she moves and attacks as if in Rhythm to a song.
She is a proud and wise woman but she frequently gets in fights with one of the other Royal Guards...Nassandra. It's common knowledge to anyone in the Royal Court to see the two trying to prove they are better than the other and has become a daily routine. Still despite their rivalry when it comes to battle they know to let their petty squabbles go in the name of the Queen and country. She carries the Royal Guard armor of Ice allowing her to release a giant slash of crystal fury on her enemy at the expense of her strength.
the video kind of acts up at the beginning and then it stops lagging but the sound is off. My computer is practically full so until I clean it out this is what I have to offer at the moment.
anyway this is Sarah Rayne and her Aunt Primeverra
