@InfestedHydralisk - if you decide to go ahead with the video, I have a ranger with Monument armor. But keep in mind that it is brown and only the trim dyes. Time Zone: GMT -5

@Perynne: I've done some minor changes to the "blue hue" layer so that, among all things, the moon looks brighter and you can see the snow glitter better. Will add more shadows, I've been puting them in, it's just that they don't contrast more than lack of highlights... >_<

@Flying Ninja Monk: Aww, thank you! It's not that hard to make what I did, just put down about 17h and you'll have it done and ready ;D

I hope the video will turn out nicely too. Cross your fingers everyone, you will be hearing my squeaky squee voice. Also, there might be singing! D:

Lil Thing · Dec 04, 2010, 11:01 PM // 23:01

Gettin annoyed now

Photobucket rejected me, and now deviantart won't let me post the picutre -_- and imageshack says i can't use it on their website

Gnna keep trying...

EDIT: Rage - Tells me now i can't post it

Flying Ninja Monk · Dec 05, 2010, 05:28 AM // 05:28

Congratulations on the 10 costume packs

It's really gonna spice up things.
Okay then, here's my first upload for the pic...its messy, and had to take it by camera...well either way, it looked much better on paper

Currently working on clearing it up with Photoshop...I don't know if i'll colour it...I mean, I'd have to crunch through copious amounts of tutorials if i decide to...
Speaking of which, if anyone knows some good photoshop tutorials which may help, please point me in the right direction!

Oh and to Gemini...:P What's the point crunching through 17h if you have 0 talent? XD 0 times 17 is still 0...:P Good luck, I wanna see the upgraded version of your pic...

Ugh great, it's refusing to upload on deviant...>.> Gonna use photobucket till i can get it working ;P

Oh and would anyone happen to know why i keep logging out every time i try to upload an avatar? :S
P.S About the literature...what'ss the recommended length, and, is there any language restrictions?

Flying Ninja Monk · Dec 05, 2010, 07:29 AM // 07:29

Ok i've been working on her legs for quite some time now :P Noticed that i had screwed up the design totally...
BUT i didn't really replicate the one on gwwiki...mostly the decorations are sorta my own, since i can't really do anything as detailed as the real thing :/
There's something...wrong with her torso (havn't worked on it yet...) But...im not sure qwhat it is exactly, can't place my finger on it. Not sure if her shoulders are too wide (I began trying to correct that), or if that part of the body's too short...I don't know :P As well as that, for some reason i can't get the serenely beautiful but cold-ish look on her face :S Same link as above to see!

Well i have exams, so i'm going to go study with a friend :P May not update for some time due to tests, so au revoir! Wish me luck

Perynne · Dec 05, 2010, 08:00 AM // 08:00

@Lil Thing: You're probably having problems because you're trying to post an image that is too big for the website to accept? If you're using the same size (or bigger) of the image you posted here, then most websites will flat-out refuse to accept it.
Make the image smaller, to something around 800 pixels in width or height. If you don't have a proper image editor, even with something simple like IrfanView you can resize images easily.
I hope it helps, and you're able to get it working again.

@obastable: Welcome!

Can't wait to see your entry, fabric/fibre art sounds interesting.

@Flying Ninja Monk: Going through 17 hours of drawing with 0 talent means you'll get around 2000 xp points, which'll get you to level 2 talent!

It's worth the time, trust me. The only way you're going to learn is to just hunker down and get to drawing/reading tutorials.
Language restrictions... you mean what language, or what kind of swear words can you use? Language will have to be English, so that everyone will be able to understand it. As for swear words... I guess if you don't go over the top, one word here or there shouldn't be bad. Try to keep it PG 13 at least though.
Also, the winter phoenix looks sooooooo cute. <3 You're not at zero talent, you've definitely gotten some exp at some point!

Dwayna's armor looks good too, although I think to make her more recognizable you may want to add some wing decorations to the side of her head, so that the Santa hat is sort of on top. Her torso is a little bit too big compared to her legs and hips, so if you can re-size the bottom half in Photoshop that might help to make her look more balanced.
I'll try to dig up some tutorials for you later today. Limited time on the computer this morning.

Aeronwen · Dec 05, 2010, 10:02 AM // 10:02

Lil Thing ~ I am sure Pery has the solution , hope you get it working.
@ Ninja ~ nice start, yeah her proportions are slightly off. Good luck with your exams, they are much more important than this.
@ Marsh ~ The other one was adorable but this is so cute too, I was wondering why no-one was doing the wedding. Can’t wait for the finished product. I have just realised it makes me think of Mabel Lucie Atwell, you any relation :P
@ Zidane ~ welcome

Eastern Magik · Dec 05, 2010, 10:56 AM // 10:56

@Flying Ninja Monk thats really lovely ^^ i just think that part of her dress behind the list is too umm big? at first look i mistaken it for a leg :? maybe make it a little smaller like the one on the other side....

@Marsh cute O__________________________________O

and, yay, i came up with the most unoriginal idea ever >________<

wip - 1

Tommy's · Dec 05, 2010, 11:10 AM // 11:10

Wooraahh Zidane is in the house too

Cool :3

Marsh that looks absolutely adorable, you're pencils just spill so much cuteness on the paper.

And welcome to all the new faces, and some old ones (Yay Magik!

), glad to see more and more people entering. I'll start working on mine again soon enough. Deadline of 31th is doable for me so I should be able to pull something out
