Category Archives: Power User Profiles

You know when I said that last weeks PUP was going to be a one off? Yeah, I lied. Considering that this weeks Power User has featured in pretty much every poll for every character design contest he’s entered, and won 3 of them, I feel bad that I’ve neglected asking him to do a profile for so long. Thankfully, that shall be righted now as we welcome the newest member of the Power User club, Vectorman316.

So, I am again doing another one off PUP. And this time we’re going to take a look at someone who can only be described as a Mech-Expert. His work frequently stuns me, using items in ways I never thought they could or would be used. He also does some pretty kick-ass landscape works as well, which really show of his skill at atmospheric shading (if you go to his galleries one the forums or deviantart check out a pic call Trapped, it really exemplifies this. Oh and Abyss. Actually, just check it all out, it’s worth it). Plus he has a very apt username. So ladies, gentlemen and mechanical lifeforms, please welcome ExtremelyEpic.

Once again, I’m going to be bringing back the Power User Profiles for a one off special, because the opportunity came up this week to cover one of my favourite creators of all time. His work is so instantly recognisable and incredibly well constructed, each and every piece is jaw dropping. Iscarioto asked me to pick my favourite picture to put up with his profile alongside his choice and, going through his gallery before posting this, I found it nearly impossible to decide, which is unusual because everyone has at least one or two works that stand out even if you’re someone like headlessgeneral or AMS. And that’s not to mention how fun it was working with him on the Ascension community project on the forums. So, with that all said, please everyone give a big hand to our newest Power User: Iscarioto.

I thought I’d bring back the PUP’s again for a one off lot at one of our new (-ish) forum moderators. So ladies and gentlemen please welcome CKnap.

Ok, I was going to make last weeks PUP a one off, but the next day one of the people I’d contacted during the original run got back to me, so here’s a bonus one. I’ve spent all week trying to come up with some sort of witty pun based on his username, but I failed miserably. So what I will say is that he is a great creator and there really is Nobody like him. I knew I’d get one eventually. But all jokes aside, ladies and gentlemen please welcome our newest Power User: Nobody.

Well, guess what’s back. Yup, I’m going to bring back the Power User Profiles for at least this week because there was a certain creator that I just had to cover. One of my favourite creators, his style is simply brilliant, with quirky and unique poses and some truly amazing costumes (I’m running out of superlatives here). So, ladies and gentlemen please give a big hand to Jeimuzu.

This week’s Power User hasn’t been a part of the forums for a hugely long time, but she’s definitely made an impact whilst she’s been there (considering that when I ask who should get profiled I can always count on someone suggesting her). Also it’s nice to have another Digimon fan around, but I digress. Creator of many colourful cats and a stunning spaceship that came 2nd in last weeks CDC poll, please give a big hand for Linea24.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t originally consider this week’s nominee when I first brought back the PUP’s on the basis that I thought he’d already done one. He’s got to have gone the longest between being nominated and actually getting to do a profile, having been nominated way back on the first ever PUP. Like all the best ‘machiners, he has an easily identifiable style that means you can tell whose work it is just by looking and his costume designs are always very well thought out and visually interesting. So, here you go Vengeance, this one is long over-due.

This weeks Power User is a brilliant creator (just look at the creations he’s nominated as his favourites) and pretty much a mainstay on the forums. Ladies and Gentlemen, please give it up for Alexander Of Limbo

This weeks Power User has got one of the best shading styles I’ve seen. Some of his costume designs have been a bit, ummm, risky, but I can’t think of anything he’s done that I haven’t thought, that’s a pretty damn good design. He might not be able to draw, but he sure can heromachine. Give it up for Cantdraw.
