Yep. If he is sitting behind MKT giving cues to the audience it would already be implied that it is for everyone to do so just the actual command is needed.

@ Dutch. If the end of the bricks on the left side are indicating a corner of a building the white grout part should be indented.

Oh and yes, there will be before, during, and after video.

Good Luck!! Don't forget to test if the camera is working correctly, omai it would be awefull you only notice all pictures turned out black after that effigy burned down

No, the wood on the left is a doorpost, though speaking about which, I need to move the branch up, because else norn will walk against it when they walk in

My drawing routine sucks haha.

Anyways, without further ado (mostly cuz I need to get back to drawing

), here is my progress pikshur.

I did some major lighting work, blended the skins, fixed some issues I had with layers, shaded the black part of Minami's top, drew her makeup and made her eyes, drew that shiny-twirly thing in the middle, "lit" the candles, and many many other things.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pic (razah is my fave hero, and the subject of my next short story)!

I am so amazed at how you can do this practically overnight! I can't wait until you're done, because I am soooo saving this and putting it as my desktop halloween wallpaper! <jumping up and down with orange and black pom poms>

edit: Sordrax, congratulations on getting your entry done and submitted

It looks so cool, and I love how you have the sweetness of a rose and the violence of a mace to enhance the skull! Gorgeous!

Lil Thing · Oct 18, 2010, 06:34 PM // 18:34

lol Finally finished (note the drawing is an atonal drawing - black and white shading only)

Hope you like it

Tzu · Oct 18, 2010, 06:59 PM // 18:59

OMFG, there are so many delicious entries this year, I can't believe my eyes.

Although judging will be hard, I now feel especially good about the funds I personally donated to the workshop, and especially thankful for all the donations. I feel like these rewards will be delivered to more than deserving hands.

I'm quite happy to say that I've managed to finish Eir. ^^ I still have some bits and bobs to correct, but I can do them within an hour tonight before going to bed. Here are some of the costume bits:

Given how little time I spent on it I think it looks alright, but of course there are a lot of things I wish I'd done better (and I wish I had more leatherette to work with Q_Q). You can probably see the areas where there should be leather texture and there isn't, I just hope it's not too obvious when i put the whole thing on. Wolfie has a bump on him which I didn't notice before now, I guess I'll file that down. The bow will have to be made later, so no weapon this year

hopefully I'll make one to celebrate the release of GW2 though. ^^

Photos tomorrow evening for me.

KiyaKoreena · Oct 18, 2010, 07:08 PM // 19:08

A goofy little rush edited video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w7bf4ZSe4c Need to record more footage and make better videos tomorrow.

Dutch Sunshine · Oct 18, 2010, 07:12 PM // 19:12

You're going to make a movie with that? Are you going to use that sound? Because they might disqualify you because of that...

Shy Guy · Oct 18, 2010, 07:43 PM // 19:43

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll try to get at making this stuff later in the week. School and stuff to do for now though x/

I'll try and have another mockup by wednesday-ish.

@Dutch: Any ideas on how to make the paper look more realistically ripped? No matter what I try, it keeps looking artificial :x And as for the nail, it just seems like nothing is working xP

Love Angel Maybe · Oct 18, 2010, 08:26 PM // 20:26

Okay so I've gotten everything but the roof pieces on, let me know what you think! It should look like the haunted house in Kamadan when I'm done.

Tommy's · Oct 18, 2010, 08:38 PM // 20:38

Lol Koreena, that vid is epic, I smiled so big at Mad King laughing

And Stouda damn that turned out to be great. Really great job.

` Marshmallow · Oct 18, 2010, 08:47 PM // 20:47

Minami - O:!!! WOW. RAZAH = LOVE. U:< <33333!! I'm so amazed at how much you've gotten done 0_0! I like this idea a lot more o:! I'll still googly-eye your first pic, though XD <3

Tommy - Omgsh I can't get over how much I love the giant pumpkin @_@ -bakes into pie- The hanging pumpkin light kind of confuses me, though. I guess it's just where the string is placed, though :S

Dutch - Wow I like the spider web a lot! Maybe you could add tiny highlights to the branch above the lantern?

Sordax - WOW O_O! Wowwowowo @ w@ You must have a super steady hand for those lines. xD <3

Stouda - Ouu the before/after picture is neat C:

Lil Thing - Looks good~! I love the pumpkins c;

Tzu - O:! Ouu. >__> <__< That would be a cool bra to wear after...

Kiya - XD Omg. That video. <3 LOVE.

Angel - omgsh that looks delicious >O>! -noms pocky-

Yeah I moved the roof a bit, forgot to fix the string

But its good now!

Having some trouble with the perspective of the roof of the little windowtowerthingie. Damn that thing. Hoping to get some time to fix that and add some more detail to the ground and the text on the signs, the text looks a bit too perfect

Suggestions welcome <3

KiyaKoreena · Oct 18, 2010, 10:26 PM // 22:26

Maybe the Brushed or Jangly Walk ones here? http://www.1001freefonts.com/brush-fonts.php

Konig Des Todes · Oct 18, 2010, 10:50 PM // 22:50

Tommy's: I would suggest removing the / personally. It just seems rather out of place on the sign. But it's probably my personal taste and can work both ways.

Death By An Arrow · Oct 19, 2010, 12:20 AM // 00:20

So this was what I did yesterday night. I had some ideas for texture today but needed to distract myself so I've just been watching TV for hours :P We had a physics test and our teacher forgot to tell us her clock was 20 minutes slow >.>
Anyways after how i met your mother I'm gunna attempt the texture dealy, if it doesnt work out I wont fret hard about it. i should also fiddle with the vine.
edit: worked abit since last post sooooo

Thistle Xandra · Oct 19, 2010, 02:47 AM // 02:47

Eek, running behind again and only got to comment on Minami's work on my beloved Razah <3

@ Dutch Sunshine: loving it! The cracks in the wood are a huge improvement. I hadn't even noticed that was wood until this version O_O I'm still not a fan of the pumpkin though. Maybe the texture idea that people keep mentioning for Death by Arrow would make it more detailed so it matches the rest? I really love that tengu poster in the back btw! Just out of curiosity, now that I've seen Shy Guy's poster with the nail in it, what would you use to attach posters to brick?

@ stouda: That before/after pic is really nice

I love when artists do that!

@ lil thing: very nice! I really like how you did your shading, especially on the cauldron… really gives it a 3D feel

@ tzu: omg, that is one sexy costume!

@kiyaKoreena: that vid was so cute and really made me laugh! priceless! on a side note, I thought youtube added elevator music while the video was buffering, but it turned out to be one of those axe commercials running on this site D:

@ Love angle: how yummy! I was wondering how you got the white part so perfect… is that how fondant really is or are you using some super trick?! I love your mad king's guards in your pic gallery by the way

That's so clever how you did that!

@Tommy: I wish there was a way to make the black against black not happen. Like, it's so hard to see his outline against the black door, and that spider outline is so hard to see. When I first opened it up, it looked like you had added really long bug antennae, but it turned out it was just me automatically connecting the stems on the top and the two spider legs on the right of the window. I really like the scarecrow you added in the window. For the sign, I would pick /clap or /cheer instead of /kneel for a subliminal positive reaction since clap is more for happy while kneel is more submissive and negative. Your pic is looking really good other than those minor things for me

@Death: That looks great! It was so fun watching your pic progress pumpkin by pumpkin! (Side note, that's terrible about your test!!)

@Death after edit with texture attempt 1: I don't like those textures

I'd rather have 'worked on vine and smooth pumpkins' before working on texturing

yeah, i was 50/50 on the textures and wanted to see some positive/negative reactions; but no problem because they're all seperate layers i can just delete.

tomorrow is working on the vine night, because then i'll be finished

im free all tomorrow night, school trip wednesday morning; no homework has to get done tomorrow :P

... and then i've gotta start my wintersday piece! /laugh
