Wavy Ranchero's Original Customs

[Wavy Ranchero]

First off, I apologize for my crappy pictures. My camera is pretty cheap and I don't have the steadiest picture taking hand. Now that that's out of the way, I've been lurking around here for a while now, and I've always thought about posting my CaS but I never have. So, now I will. Enjoy!

Reed: I made him in SCIV and got kind of attached. He's really simple, but I still like him.

Spoiler

(It helps that he has the coolest thumbnail photo of all my CaS)

Gemma: Another simple character I recreated from SCIV.

Spoiler

Gemma 2P: I tried to use the regular armband equipment, but it clipped horribly with the top, so I made my own with the cylinder special equip. Also added some zippers on the boots to make them stand out a little.

Spoiler

Malik: You can't see it in the pictures, but that arrow lines up perfectly with 2 of the holes in that hat. Used the other two special equips to add a handgun to each thigh. The pictures also don't really show off the pattern used on the leather to make it look older.

Spoiler

Malik 2P: Used two special equips along with the arm bandages to make it appear as though he taped spikes to his wrist. Works very well with his Devil Jin style.

Spoiler

Deogon: He's got a kitty shirt!

Spoiler

Deogon 2P: The character after he finds some sort of magical weapon and armor combo. I really like how it has a slight glow to it.

Spoiler

Bradakhan: A demon.

Spoiler

Bradakhan 2P: A more armored version. Plus, his face paint flipped colors.

Spoiler

That's all for now, I'll be back with more later. Any comments and/or criticism is welcome, except those bashing the picture quaility. That's really as well as I can manage.

 

[TsunamiBye]

They're simple...perhaps too simple, yet they have room to grow. Atm, I'd suggest tweaking them a bit to make them less awkward. I can't put my finger on it, but they feel like CAS I could make myself in under 20 minutes. However, I encourage you to keep exploring to beef up your characters looks. Most of all, keep on sharing.

 

[Wavy Ranchero]

And share I shall...


Sylvia: Again, her 1P outfit is remade from SCIV where I pretty much only used armor sets. There is a pattern on it to make it look more cracked and old, but the pictures don't do subtle patterns much justice.

Spoiler

Sylvia 2P:

Spoiler

Isabella: A corpse bride type character I suppose. (Mostly, me fidgeting around with a blood smear technique I read about on here somewhere)

Spoiler

Isabella 2P: Same thing, little skimpier, a little more tortured. Used three special equipment bolts (with a pattern to make them look rusted, 'cause they've been there a while) on her stomach to add a little grotesque-ness. Tried to keep the majority of the blood in that area to add a little realism.

Spoiler

Medusa: Self explanatory.

Spoiler

Medusa 2P: I really wanted to use the suit thing Ivy wears, and it fit this character well.

Spoiler

Zaire: Jungle dweller.

Spoiler

Zaire 2P: My favorite part about this whole outfit, is the horns that hold the bandana tied in the back and I tried to get a decent shot of it.

Spoiler

Riggs: A joke character I made as I am a fan of pro-wrestling. I do however, quite like the goatee and cigar.

Spoiler

More to come!

 

[Wavy Ranchero]

Another batch.

Spade: Punk rocker esque character. Placing that mohawk just right annoyed me to no end.

Spoiler

Spade 2P: I went with a white tiger theme on his alternate, going all the way from his mohawk to his shoes.

Spoiler

Crovax:

Spoiler

Crovax 2P:

Spoiler

Mamushi: A snake themed character, I even gave him fangs.

Spoiler

Mamushi 2P: I used the snake horns special equipment for his necklace and belt, that way, he wasn't just some guy in a snakeskin unitard.

Spoiler

Kalamari: I couldn't really think of anything to name him, so he got named after squid. Now he's stuck with it.

Spoiler

Kalamari 2P: You can't tell from the pictures (Curse my crappy camera and shaky caffeine hands!) but the maroon and white pattern on the jacket carries onto his mummy wraps and pants, albeit a much more subtle grey and... less grey.

Not to toot my own horn but I thought the addition of the cat tails to the helmet was quite clever.

Spoiler

Lita: Very simple modern fighter lady. I kept her simple on purpose, she's supposed to look like someone who just walked out of her house. I did however use 4 patch stickers (which again, the pictures don't emphasize) on her jeans to add a little depth to her.

Spoiler

Lita 2P:

[Perseonn]

Reed looks like a typical heavy blade user, but I really likw how you make the Warthog set not weird :D

I avoid Coiled Breastplate so...

Gemma's 2nd costume has a World War 2 ring to it XD Her top is a more shiny than her pants, but that's technical. Overall good :D
Malik is one of the good creation utilizing the mask that I ever see. Kinda want to see him in-battle. On the contrary, I don't quite like his 2nd costume.
Isabella's 1st costume is my favorite with her creepy look. I'm so wanting to capture her in-battle :D

 

[Wavy Ranchero]

Reed's always been a favorite of mine, even though he's just wearing an armor set and anybody can make him in about 5 minutes.

I didn't even realize that about Gemma's top. I'm going to have to see what I can do about that! Oh, and creating an outfit after recently watching the History channel leads to WW2-esque characters =P

Thanks much, I really liked that mask and it took a lot of fidgeting until something finally looked decent with it.

Creepy is exactly what I was going for with Isabella. Woo, success!

Edit: I put the pictures in spoiler tags after looking up how to do that so it would clean up the thread a little bit.

 

[Wavy Ranchero]

Carson: I wanted to create that typical motivated young knight character and so, Carson was born.

Spoiler

Carson 2P: I went into this thinking I was going to make the version of him before he decided to become a knight, as a farmer. That didn't pan out well, and I decided to make what he would be like after he acquired Soul Calibur.

Spoiler

Premonition: If anyone gets the reference of his chest tattoo and name, I will love them forever.

Spoiler

Premonition 2P: I had no clue what I was going to do with him for a 2P outfit, since I pretty much love his first one. I think it turned out well though, it's different enough to warrant a second outfit, but near enough to still be just as cool. I removed his mask in the second picture so you can see the reason he wears it.

Spoiler

(His exposed face is a fun little extra if his equipment gets broken during the fight)

 

[Wavy Ranchero]

AJ Valentine: I was going for a thief when I started, but somewhere along the line she went the direction of adored hero.

Spoiler

AJ Valentine 2P:

Spoiler

Athame:

Spoiler

Athame 2P:

Spoiler

 

[Wavy Ranchero]

Anaksunamun: An Egyptian pharaoh. Also, I stole her name from the movie "The Mummy".

Spoiler

Anaksunamun 2P: I decided I couldn't manage to make another pharaoh that looked just as god as the first, so I made a Soul Edge version of the character. It's basicly a recolor of Ivy's 1P. I paid extra for that outfit and I'm usin' it!

Spoiler

Siren: From her name, I think you can already figure out the inspiration for this character. I think it turned out quite well. I used 3 rabbit ears special equipment to give her more of a water/sea/fish look.

Spoiler

Siren 2P: I actually like this one a lot more than I like the 1P. I think it's mostly the skirt, I really like it. The breastplate and helmet each have a purple swirls with green background pattern.

Spoiler

Leeloo:

Spoiler

Leeloo 2P:

Spoiler

Lola:

Spoiler

Lola 2P: The inspiration for this attire stems purely from her hat, which was in turn inspired by the spectacular hat worn by Jayne Cobb.

Spoiler

 

[Wandrian]

Lola 1P feels pretty lacking, but I'm liking the rest I'm seeing.

 

[Wavy Ranchero]

I've always kinda felt that Lola 1P was a little lacking, but she's my nieces favorite character so I don't want to change her.

Anyway,

Bella Donna: An obvious Elysium knockoff.

Spoiler

Bella Donna 2P: I really wish I had realized the thumbnail photo was that bad, I really wanted to show the flowers. They have a pattern on them that made the tips of the petals fade to blue.

Spoiler

The Faceless: Y'know, because he has no face.

Spoiler

Griffin: I made this character in SCIV, but he used Zasalamel's style, which I'm sure you're aware is no longer available. Damn you SCV.

Spoiler

Griffin 2P: A version of the character I made much MUCH later after the first. Griffin's 1P was one of the first characters I made in SCV.

Spoiler

 

[Norik]

I like these, simple and straight to the point. Some are lacking (like Lola), but overall they're pretty good.

 

[WindupSkeleton]

What Norik said. They're not the best, but they're not bad in any way at all. They're nice, simple and elegant in their way.

Except Lola 1p ;P
