@ Konig: Thanks for the link. I like his writing style,

very amusing while being informative XD

I used the same format as wiki, where they capitalized profs. I guess the GW2 wiki (assuming it'll be different than the GW1 wiki

) will go with the new caps format

Konig Des Todes · Oct 09, 2010, 10:42 PM // 22:42

The GW2Wiki does use the House of Style. The GW1 wiki began changing it, but it was decided to follow GW1's style to avoid confusion.

So I'm updating cause a friend wants to see my work and I figured now would be a nice time to stop by the ol' workshop.

i noticed something quirky and interesting and wanted to get an opinion on it..
Frontwards
Backwards
I was checking my shadows when i noticed, doesn't it look better backwards? Am i just going crazy? I feel like the quality just improves when it's reversed horizontally and I don't know why....

I have different forum settings, so I only have 16 pages in this workshop (I like to have many posts per page).
I don't know what's page 26

haha, i don't know what it is either, but I do like the backwards one more. I think the quality is the same, so it's probably just a psychological thing like we read left to right so a pumpkin in the left makes our focus go from left to right and we subconsciously like it or something like that

oh and Konig, i feel silly because i didn't even realize there was a GW2 wiki up

!

Another update on the Charr Effigy.

Again, here's the link to the progress gallery for the first post: http://s1110.photobucket.com/albums/...hadytradesman/

Anyway, I'm going to go out and keep working. Another update later!

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I am just so amazed at the scope of art being worked on in this thread. It is unbelievable how much creativity is being displayed by this group of artists. Hopefully, you will all enter into the official GW contest, because you all deserve a wider audience.

One More Pumpkin Done

Gunna take a break, got some stuff to practice for music and ive been working on it all day.

let me know if you see anything I should fiddle with ^^

KiyaKoreena · Oct 10, 2010, 02:24 AM // 02:24

Bwahahaha.... progress feels goooooooooood.

It's really starting to come together now. Need to get some more fabric for the cape since what I have left isn't quite wide enough. Then its boot time (didn't get around to it today) and stiffening the cheesecloth and around the neck for the cape so they stand up/out. Then the eyes/mouth part.

shady tradesman · Oct 10, 2010, 03:42 AM // 03:42

@KiyaKoreena: Oh man, that's awesome! It really is starting to come together.

Konig Des Todes · Oct 10, 2010, 06:15 AM // 06:15

Kiya, what are you feeding that kid! He's turning orange! :P

Really nice, I love the belt. Maybe the leaves on top of te pumpkin should be a bit smaller but besides that it's great.

Heres my entry

Hope you like it

Death By An Arrow · Oct 10, 2010, 01:43 PM // 13:43

Today is kind of a busy day, but I'm gunna try and squeeze in another pumpkin or two before the end of the day. I've got to work for 4~ish hours, I'm helping my dad move some cabinets from his old house before it sells, and I've got some really complex physics to do... Dx

Also, my piece got featured in someones journal for lighting on dA! I don't think that couldn't have happened without the amazing help of the workshop, so I just want to express my gratitude for everything that's been done to help me get my piece where it is today

-end sob speech- :P

@Kiya, it's looking very nice! Better than anything i could have made o.o I really like how the gloves you made transition cleanly between colours. I also really like the eye in the belt! How'd you make it?
It kind of looks like his collar is a turtle neck right now and I know you said you were working on it so I really don't have anything bad to say about it.

@Lil Thing Oohh that looks nice! I really like what you did with the spirits! My only qualm (is that how you spell it? ohwell.) is that the cauldren is infront of the moon yet it's back is getting such a bright shine. might I suggest making the cauldren darker?

Well, here's the updated version:

Also made some other 'minor' fixes here and there.

@KiyaKoreena - I really love this! The costume looks really well crafted and shows a lot of worksmanship. I'd love to see a close up of the belt (though I may have missed an older post where it's shown). It looks really well made and shows a lot of attention to detail. I agree with jensyea that the leaves on top could be a bit smaller and subtler. Maybe add some wire to make them stand up a bit more. I also think that it needs a bit fuller of a collar area. Mad King Thorn has a pretty large shredded cloth collar...thing. Awesome work here!

Lil Thing · Oct 10, 2010, 02:18 PM // 14:18

Thanks for the feedback

Have taken comments into account ^_^

KiyaKoreena · Oct 10, 2010, 02:39 PM // 14:39

Cape and collar haven't been started yet, that was just a single piece of the fabric as a placeholder of sorts. (Just started adding the fabric below the belt line, its all safety pinned right now as I'm working on lengths and shape.) I hope I have enough cheesecloth for around the collar.

The eye for the belt was made with polymer clay. I'll be trimming down the leaves on his head with the next progress pic with a done cape. And hopefully taken in better lighting too but can't promise that.

Nap time first, I'm too old for 19.5 hour days and then waking up 5 hours later. Kids are with their grandparents today, lets see how much I can get done!

InfestedHydralisk · Oct 10, 2010, 06:56 PM // 18:56

@KiyaKoreena The eye on the belt looks really cool!
