Hi folks! I just joined.
(To forestall the inevitable: yes, I’ve read the forum rules. I’m half-tempted to whip together some characters based on them.)
To get things started, a time superheroine and a mirror spirit! (I don’t really have a name for the time heroine. If anyone has a good one, please let me know.) Sadly, I neglected to preserve the text.
My idea here was for a character descended from a time deity, essentially a demigod.
(Yes, those are supposed to be clocks in her eyes. I got the idea from something awesome I found on Deviantart. Getting the right insignia into the right position was surprisingly fiddly.)
aaaargh the “reaching through” effect took so much masking.
The face ended up on the layer above the mirror when technically it should have been below it, but what the hey, I like the clarity. Less likeable is that I *just* noticed the right elbow doesn’t really line up with the arm, but I’m not going to redo all that masking to fix such a minor issue. I will be more careful next time though.
Thanks guys.
The time heroine’s powerset is largely based around a limited form of precognition – basically danger sense and occasional “something really bad is about to go down” hints. She also has temporary time acceleration/deceleration stuff, not enough to freeze the world or reverse history but enough to dodge a punch or hold someone in place for a moment.
I am tempted by Paradox, because that is a very cool name even if it doesn’t quite fit the powers.
Another couple of projects: a cyborg angel and an Abyssal OC from the Exalted sci-fi variant Heaven’s Reach.
Mazal is a Hebrew name meaning “good fortune”. The cybernetic eye doesn’t really come out well at this distance, and I’m not sure about the yellow lipstick.
The idea here was to have two layers of armour – the grey/blue one at the base and the black/red plating over the top. It could probably have turned out better. Still, as space deathknights go, he doesn’t look too bad.
The tabard is mainly because I find tabards to be cool.
@Herr D said:
With that power description, I might suggest “Finesse” or “Grace” or “Sidestep” because she should be able to be that way around danger.
Sidestep is great, I’ve renamed the images to that.
Today’s stuff: a sunset scene, and playing around with masking effects again.
I am very much indebted to the Sunset Recipe, which pretty much is the background. I was going to put in multiple moons to reinforce that it was fantasy, but it started to look a little busy, so I just went with clouds instead.
As for the girl, I basically envisioned her as a D&D-style cleric of a sun deity. If you look carefully she’s wearing armour under her gown.
As for this, the basic idea was for a glass sword that, when you looked through it, let you see through illusions. The guy with the tabard is not what he seems…
Blah, forum ate my post. Let’s try this again.
Some semi-random D&D-isms: a goblin whose feet are too big but who required waaaay too much tinkering with sizes to redo, and a paladin from the Demon Wastes of Eberron.
Presumably, his hand is out because someone owes him money. And that is not the face of a guy who accepts “I’ll have it by next Wednesday” or “the cheque’s in the mail”.
In the Eberron setting, the Ghaash’Kala tribes of the Demon Wastes are a blend of orcs and humans (mainly orcs) who battle against the evil found in the depths of their blighted homeland. They tend to look very much like barbarians, but their paladins are as courageous and honourable as any knight of the Silver Flame. And, y’know, it’s awesome to have paladins who don’t look like they burgled King Arthur’s wardrobe.
Some new stuff: an elf mage and…well, something weird.
I went for a vaguely Indian skin tone because I think having multiple Elven skin colours is a bit less dumb than the “all the black elves are evil – unless they’re player characters” thing D&D usually slips into.
I don’t even know where this came from. I just find the idea of D&D monsters having their own style magazine to be hilarious. It’d also make an interesting game: a cross between Wandering Monster High School (courtesy link), and Just Shoot Me.
Nor do I know why saving the image has cut off the edges. Eh. Too early in the morning for me to care.
In case you’re having difficulty reading them with the inconvenient cropping and the pseudo-medieval font, the articles are “LOLTH’S LACE: Why Spider Silk Is In”, “Horned Helms: In or Out?”, “HOW-TO: Style your Dungeon for Summer”, “LOVE BITES: Why date vampires?” and “FREAK CHIC: Pseudonatural but Fashionable”.
