Title: Who's up for a challange?
Description: Based on CPoC's idea...
HellAvatar - August 13, 2005 02:08 AM (GMT)
Well, the title should speak it all. But if you still don;t know what I'm talking about, here's the schmeal.
CPoC's idea made me stumble on the idea that I have long been searching for. You see, I'm starting a fic based on a new team meeting up on Mobius and joining Sonic and his gang as protectors/defenders of the world.
But that gives a small problem: I have no idea what team to make up. See, this is going to start as Nite and Solar, for those of you who RPed in The Search. But that is only 2 people, so I got this idea from CPoC.
And now, based on CPoC's draw a gf for Pexxus... Here comes draw a GF for Nite. Maybe Solar too, but that is optional...
This will put my entire team together, since one of my friends has offered to create another character. So, just 1 or 2 more characters and my team will be done.
So... Draw a gf for Nite, and I'll start my little fic as soon as I plot out the plotline.
The rules:
1. Must be a girl (duh...)
2. Something interesting.
3. No pervertion.
4. Make something completely new and original. Where the challange stands: Anyone up to make something entirely new and original, but keep it within the limits.
5. Keep ole Nite's personality in mind... Don't want to have an empath end up with a duck with Amy's personality. I admit, that would be funny as heck, but not entirely suitable for the purpose.
So... If you're interested, then have a go!
Current contestants:
GoldenSama
CrystalRose
Cojo (not definite)
Joha (not definite)
BlueRush
Kimiko
MistFalcon
PS: I cannot give a reward, sadly enough... I'm not a mod, I'm just an every-day joe. So I don't have any specific reward, except maybe lots and lots of Flan...
Crystal Rose - August 13, 2005 02:15 AM (GMT)
hmmmm flan ^^ thats enough of a reward for me ^^
Hmmmm how may entries can we put in?
HellAvatar - August 13, 2005 02:17 AM (GMT)
As many as you want.
Also, I don't have a definite end yet to this... But I guess about August 31st.
Crystal Rose - August 13, 2005 02:19 AM (GMT)
Well I'll totally enter this, I'll probably draw a few pics ^^ hmmm could I enter Kaya again? She sounds like someone for Nite ^^
HellAvatar - August 13, 2005 02:21 AM (GMT)
I probably should rephrase the rules... Make someone NEW AND ORIGINAL. Someone you have never thought of before. Someone you have never used. Someone just created, just from the gen tube, as they say.
So, someone ENTIRELY NEW.
Which is the entire challange: Make something you never thougt of before, take a road down which you have not yet walked.
Crystal Rose - August 13, 2005 02:23 AM (GMT)
>.< awwww okies i'll make someone new...hmmmm *thinks hard*
HellAvatar - August 13, 2005 12:05 PM (GMT)
Well, we have out first "contestant"...
Let's see if we get anyone else into this. I'm not sure how people will take this idea though, since such a contest has just been finished, and I might be pushing artistry beyond it's limit here.
Nevertheless, we will see. Heh, this is the first time ever I tried to create an artistic contest... Don't blame me!
Also, whoever enters, do the best of work you can do. Give it your all. This is a challange after all.
Kimiko - August 13, 2005 03:39 PM (GMT)
Hmm....
I may enter this, but I'll have to eat some sunflower seeds over the idea. ;)
GoldenSama - August 13, 2005 04:18 PM (GMT)
Ah, so ol' Nitey's fallen victem to the love bug too, eh? Heheheh.
Very well mon capitoin, I shall get to work right away! You know I'm not the best artists when it comes to computer art, but I'll give it my best.
Nite needs... a tough woman. Yes, yes he does. Someone who'll keep him in line and put up with all his crap.
I'll begin designs right away; you can count me as a contestant! ^^
HellAvatar - August 13, 2005 07:17 PM (GMT)
Heh, that was a very good way to put it, GS... And yes, this little "affair" would add the much-needed flavoring to the fic.
Also, GS, I might advise actually doing drawings by hand. It's a lot easier that way, since computer art can be so... Well... Blocky, least to say. I'd advise you to take the time and actually try something by hand. Trust me: it will come out better than you think. And if it does not, you can always try again!
GoldenSama - August 13, 2005 08:50 PM (GMT)
Yeah.
I would draw by hand, but there's just one problem HA. I have no scanner. That's why I can't post any of my many hand drawn pics, or a pic of myself. So, even though the artwork would be better by hand, I'd have no way of showing it to you, which would defeat the whole purpose, y'know?
XD
But I will take my time on the compu-art, and maybe it'll turn out good. Who knows.
BlueRushNot the real - August 13, 2005 09:00 PM (GMT)
(( Okay, so apparently my granparents' pc has had internet ALL ALONG. u_u; But it's tough to get on, so I'll be here intermittently... ))
I'd like to enter, but when's the deadline? Because I can't draw on the computer (I can barely draw on paper!) and I can't scan until probably/hopefully next week. Don't wait for me, just tell me when it's due if you can. ^_^
HellAvatar - August 14, 2005 01:44 AM (GMT)
As I said before, I'm not setting a definite deadline yet, but I'm thinking it to be about August 31st. That should give people enough time to come up with some ideas, and it also will be the perfect time for evaluation, being the transition point into the next school year.
GoldenSama - August 16, 2005 03:37 AM (GMT)
I'm glad to hear we have time on the deadline. Between my new job, and the recent computer problems (DAMN YOU SPYWARE!) I've had a hard time getting any work done.
But I haven't forgotten 'boutcha HA, I'll come up with an idea soon.
HellAvatar - August 16, 2005 05:20 AM (GMT)
I'm happy that this place is not forgotten yet... I am going to be happy if I get at least ONE submission, with the way this place is going.
Cojo - August 17, 2005 05:58 AM (GMT)
Im an avaerage jo an average CoJO too so I shall enter this. I was gonna enter Cpocs but it ended. So who to make up...
HellAvatar - August 17, 2005 04:53 PM (GMT)
Well guys, let's get this finally started up. Since I have updated the first post as to who is in on this and will be turning in submissions...
Maybe...
So far, I'va had horrible luck in actually keeping anything I started here going. You saw what happened to some of my roleplays out there, and even my new one does not attract any attention. I hope that is not the case here, since this is going to help me out in writing a fic of mine. I really hope you guys can help me out here.
I just hope that CPoC's contest did not fully exhaust your artistic selves.
Crystal Rose - August 17, 2005 10:04 PM (GMT)
Well I have one, i just need to scan it. Im probably gonna do two ^_^
but im so sleepy now *yawn*
HellAvatar - August 17, 2005 10:16 PM (GMT)
Do as much as you want.
Also, I want to ask you people something: am I allowed to criticize your work? If so, tell me. If not, tell me. I just want to know what to expect.
Crystal Rose - August 17, 2005 10:18 PM (GMT)
feel free to crituque me
I dont mind ^_^
HellAvatar - August 17, 2005 10:21 PM (GMT)
Then I will do so to the best of my ability.
I ask this because I tend to see things others don't in drawings. Heh, I am proud to say that my pessimism is finally paying off. And I will critique when possible and when critique is accepted.
GoldenSama - August 17, 2005 10:30 PM (GMT)
Feel free to critique mine, if I ever get around to finishing it. X_X
I'm so bad about these things. -_-;
HellAvatar - August 17, 2005 10:39 PM (GMT)
Don't say that.
If you draw at least something, you are still better than those that brag that they are great artists and then draw a stick figure. From what I've seen, you're in the stage BEYOND stick figures.
GoldenSama - August 17, 2005 10:47 PM (GMT)
Yeah, but I'm also overloaded with work and horribly lazy about these things. XD
Still, I'll try to finish before the deadline.
Cojo - August 18, 2005 12:14 AM (GMT)
Question mister HA can we base our characters off of someone? Like I was thinking of basing my person off of a combo of Nite and Fang.
Crystal Rose - August 18, 2005 12:21 AM (GMT)
hmmm if I could one think of another animal I could make the perfect pic ^_^
______________________________________
EDIT: okies im done with my first one *falls over* so sleepy

please excuse the messy handwriting and any spelling mistakes *runs of to take medicine* Im annoyingly ill >.< *grumble*
HellAvatar - August 18, 2005 04:36 AM (GMT)
Wow... CR, you really got that one under your wing, huh? You realise that respect from Nite is a very rare thing, him being a sarcastic bugger, which will allow conflict, and... Well... I'm seeing possibilities all of a sudden... Interesting...
That's a funny one, CR. I'm gonna consider it.
Now, for the critique.
Number one: how do you expect to fight in that long of jeans? Seriously... Would they not just hinder leg motion instead of actually adding on to her agility? You say she's a hand-to-hand combatant, which means that she should be smart enough to dress properly to be ready at any time. Unless she drops those pants to reveal some type of tights, this is a highly impractical use.
Number 2: You could work on evening the face out a bit. Even though she does look the style, the guys that drew and animated Sonic were actually careful to keep his eyes in line. You should try the same.
Number 3: Unless she's a rarity, her eyes should actually be slitted like that of a cat and either green or bright-yellow in color. Reflective. Think cat. Since yu made her a feline, might as well go to the end. Or, you could make her unique and have a new color for eyes... But the cat-slits have to be there. The reason Nite does not have slitted eyes is because he's a fusion between a cat and a hedgehog. He has reflective hedgehog eyes. :blink:
Number 4: You could work on the arms a bit. It looked like you didn't want to work on them much, and decided to drop the idea before you messed up even further. A cat has nimble paws, and they do not thicken at the ends, but thin out. You made them thicken, like a pair of clubs. Aren't cats more into striking vital points than pure brawn? Unless it's one heckuva cat...
Otherwise, the picture is great. Just like you to draw something like that, CR. I always have and always will appreciate your artwork.
And yes, cojo, you can base characters off of someone else. It;s what I do to create the ultimate of fighters and RP characters.
Cojo - August 18, 2005 04:43 AM (GMT)
YEAH! I shall start tonight!
Crystal Rose - August 18, 2005 11:50 AM (GMT)
^_^ thanks for the critique ^_^
hehehe Rea is one heckuva cat. lol
okay in response
1. Yeah I was thinking of that too, first I was going to give her some kind of shorts but then I didnt want to make her look too well...I wanted her to wear more clothes than that ^^;. Hey Kim possible wears baggy jeans but still kicks butt ^_^ Hmmm tights while battling sound like a pretty good idea, I'll draw that when I get home from babysitting today.
2. lol again you are so right, but for some reason everytime I made her eyes Sonic-like she looked...odd. I think I'll think of Blaze when I do her eyes, I'll see how that turns out.
3. hehehe I really need to look at a pic of a cat dont I? You can so tell I was not looking at anything. I'll be sure to fix the eye color, probably some yellow green. *runs to find a cat picture*
4. hehehe my annoyingly terrible arms, I've seriously got some work to do...they so suck..... arg >.< lol I'll make her some cute paws and thinner arms soon.
I think I will draw two pics of her, one of her normal clothes with the jeans and then her battle outfit.
I hope I get a chance to change Rea tonight, I'll see what I can do ^_^
Thankies
HellAvatar - August 18, 2005 04:41 PM (GMT)
I have an idea.
Here is a pic of a Khajiit (cat-human) model from Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. You can take a look at the arms and see how to make them cat-like. Of course, modify them to be Sonic-ified (interesting word), but nevertheless the model is very proportional.
http://morrowind.free.fr/Archive/Screensho...ajiit_small.jpghttp://thievesofmorrowind.tripod.com/siteb...pg.w300h225.jpgThe second one has the finger formation if you want to use it. It's only visible on one hand, but I think it will suffice. As for the hands... Those are better seen in the first one, I think.
EDIT: The second link is "hosted by tripod". You'll have to go to it directly by searching on google or something.
HellAvatar - August 25, 2005 03:18 AM (GMT)
Sorry for the double-post, but... This was the only way to inform this place, so to say.
I think that I had started this a tad too late, and that there was just not enough incentive for it to go on. Heh, I'm not a moderator, so I cannot offer a post boost like CPoC did. I'm really sorry that I can't though. Also, it looks like your artistic flair has been exhausted by CPoC's contest, and I was wrong to begin this one so shortly afterwards.
The contest has exactly a week left to it. I'm just posting because this place looks a little more than abandoned. So I'm leaving it up to you guys, the ones who are in this contest: Are you willing to add more submissions, or is this the end of this little contest?
Crystal Rose - August 25, 2005 08:58 PM (GMT)
GWAAA noooo dont abbandon it!!!
lol pretty please with sugar on top? lol
Anyway, It's okies that you dont have anyway to give point boosts or anything ^_^ Im just enjoying the drawing
(sorry I havent scanned the new pic yet, i'll get right on that"
HellAvatar - August 31, 2005 03:29 AM (GMT)
It was unfortunate.
The contest is over guys. I know it is impossible to create a picture in less than a day. So, since there is only one submission, it is only fair for me to name CR as winner, unless I am outvoted by majority and people want to continue the contest. Your call.
But otherewise, I will give credit to the only drawing that made it here. Congrats, Crystal Rose! You have won!
Cojo - August 31, 2005 03:35 AM (GMT)
No I want to submit. I have just been so tired lately. Give me a while plz
HellAvatar - September 2, 2005 10:56 PM (GMT)
So is the contest over or is someone going to post something? Because in the entire month and a few days this contest has been here, there has only been one submission. That is not how it is supposed to work. Unless, you got pictures to post, I will close this place.
Man, I have absolutely HORRIBLE luck at everything...
Cojo - September 2, 2005 11:02 PM (GMT)
No im serious I am working on it
Just with football I have been busy. I wll have a lot of free time this weekend so ill work on it then.
GoldenSama - September 2, 2005 11:03 PM (GMT)
I've wanted to do it, but I've been working at the office saving up for a Gamecube man.
I'm at the office right now, in fact. ^^ Not suppose to be on the site, but I am.
I'd work on my submission right now, but I can't use MS Paint here...
HellAvatar - September 10, 2005 12:44 AM (GMT)
Alright. I'm giving this place a rush. Let's see if any more submissions are entered. Apparantly, CR has been working on it, and hopefully, she will post soon. As for you, others...
Don't you want FLAN???
This is an announcement that people in this contest have to check out. So sorry guys for double-posting, but I think the contestants better stay informed...
I am prolonging the due date until I have more submissions. No due date whatsoever yet.
AND. If you can sprite but cannot draw, you can do that too for the contest. As long as you come up with a good sprite and background, I would take that art. If you can draw on your own, that is great, and you are encouraged to do so. If not, and you can sprite, go ahead and sprite! Or test your luck at hand drawings! If you cannot do either, it is time for you to either try one or ask yourself why you are here anyways. XD
That's it, plain and simple.
Mist Falcon - September 11, 2005 03:26 AM (GMT)
Yay! Maybe i'll have some time to get my scanner. then i can put in a decent entry.
BlueRush - September 11, 2005 05:36 PM (GMT)
Hey, HA! I've got an entry. I couldn't think of anything to draw, but when you suggested spriting I used it as an excuse to try it and started playing with it, and now I have a person! ^_^
...Once I write out the personality I'll post it all. ^_^
EDIT:

Name: Angel Blur (Called 'Anj', like "Anji" maybe?)
Age: 18
Mad Shkillz: Very smart, a sort of science student of nanotechnology. However, she prefers hand-to-hand combat and is very, very strong, like almost near almost as strong as Mighty is- almost. Her fighting style relys on strength and speed, which is a foil to Nite's physical disparity. She does not, however, have psychic abilities but may use a psychic crown to prevent Nite from hearing her thoughts. (Those are private!! :P )
Personality: Tough and athletic, loves to spar and fight and whatnot. She won't take any crud from anyone, especially not Nite. She is talented in science but has little interest in it beyond practical uses. Oh, and she's spunky. ^_~
Totally open to critique, but.... X_X
Be gentle on the drawing, it's my first attempt at spriting. And yah, it is a mix of everybody. XD Pretty blatant.
As for the personality, change at your whim. ^_^ Same with the name.
