Oooo! Loving "Training!" The nice tight focus really gives it a lot of impact; fabulous job with the reflections--just the right amount of distortion in the curved faceplate--and that expression on Meizas' face is wonderful! "Heroes Vs. Lusca" is fantastic! So much going on: that creature is awesome (think kracken [sp?], from POTC! wink ), with that huge eye just breaking the surface! Terrific perspective, too, with the viewer rocketing down on it with all the other heroes! applause Great stuff!

Chilla - lol

I'm just lazy and don't get around to it. It might be a good idea to get into the habit of it. wink

Big "balloons." lol

Did you know that she has glow-in-the-dark sunglasses too? So when she finds them, she wears them in the dark.

And yes-- Zell (or Xell) fit the mold of the male best friend; brash, bold, irascible. That's primarily the reason we used him.

You like the reflective faceplate? Me too. happy They call him "Cobra Commander" now. (And by "they" I mean "Zen.")

You're right about the Lusca pic being busy; there's way too much going on for one to absorb everything in the piece. I'm looking into getting it colored some time this year.


FF - You always give such wonderful insight. wink

If you were in Meizas' position, who'd you be more afraid of-- Visas or Zen?

You know what's funny related to the Lusca pic? In the game, there's a giant monster called "Kraken" that spawns in Perez Park too. It's part of the villain faction known as "Hydra"; it looks nothing like mythical hydra (multi-headed dragons) nor does it look like it belongs in the family octopuseses.


Thanks guys! The respective artists appreciate your feedback!


Here are some drawings by Greg Woronchak related to Valentine's Day entitled "Love at First Sight":

Ania and Zen
Visas and Zen
Sirius and Rinna

Enjoy!

Me?! I'd be running away at full-tilt, screaming the whole way!! LOL!! laugh tongue

I love the expressions in the "Love at First Sight" series: each one captures a moment, a very sweet and intense moment, and the facial expressions are the focus. They're all wonderful that way--conveying the emotion. A big "well done" to the artist!

FF:

lol

Yeah. That's pretty much what I'd do too. lol.

Greg did a great job with the LAFS stuff. I try to give him and everyone else challenging material that's expressed through their art. I'm no expert (by any standard) but that's what I think art's all about.


Here's some new stuff for you guys to look at:

Title: Women of Zen
Description: Four of the most influential women in the Zen Master universe: Sylvia (bottom middle), Visas (left), Ania (top middle), Bastila (right)
Pen and Ink: Darryl Banks

Title: A Child's Appreciation
Description: The result of a path taken with the guidance of an angel-- and the baby knows it.
Pen and Ink: TG Sangalang


Enjoy!

These are soooo great! applause The four-women-piece is wonderful: it has the distinct feel of four gals just out on the town, blowing off steam (and Bastila looks like she's not entirely sure it's what she wants to be doing! lol!)--awesome details in the b/g panels, too! And the little baby piece is a real heart-tug--the "ethereal finger" in the infant's grasp just made me "tear up" for a moment there! So sweet, and the family picture and little starship mobile are superb and subtle touches--just so sweet! **lip still quivering** wink

Absolutely amazing work--it's always a treat to see what's going on with your artists! grin

FF:

Yeah that's how Bastila is. There were moments in the first KOTOR game where I just wanted to push her for no reason whatsoever. She was just so... snooty. Then again most "expert" Force-sensitives have that supercillious attitude that makes you want to get up and say "Just sit there and shut up." lol

I'm glad you like the baby (Neia) piece! My girlfriend fell in love with her because she looks so happy, chubby, and healthy. Initially she was taken aback by Neia being eyeless. That lasted all of two seconds before she started her high-pitched squeeing. lol


Here's some more work by TG Sangalang for you guys to enjoy:

Title: Training (Colored)
Description: Colored version Meizas (a.k.a "Cobra Commander" as he'd like to be called {according to Zen}) training with Visas and Zen.
Colors: Ian Sokoliwski

Title: Promise to a Child
Description: Zen's teary-eyed point-of-view as he looks into Meizas's eyeless sockets as he tries to tell him they'll never see each other again. (Long story. lol)

Title: Naptime
Description: Father and daughter napping after a long day.

Title: Baby Steps
Description: Just one of the activities dads do with their baby children.

Title: Potential
Description: Consequence of raising a child with two highly Force-sensitive parents-- trouble.

Great new pieces here, Vandalier! applause

I'm so moved by "A Child's Appreciation:" just the idea that a baby would be able to "see" a guardian/protective spirit, and respond to it this way is very touching! It's a wonderful scene, and very evokative! "Force Lightning" gave me a chill the moment it came up--just the violence in the image, and the wonderful detailing to show it...just chilling! This would be awesome colored--any plans to to that? "Force Crush" is another image to give pause--just the idea that that much force could be summoned, to blast right through the chest of an armored metal battle droid... EESH!! Chills again! Superb perspective here, and a real sense of the movement, both of the droid and the hand directing the Force defense--awesome! I completely agree that Visas new costume is gorgeous! Beautiful highlighting on it, too, to show the shine of what appears to be some sort of reptile skin--just beautiful! The red and blue are both wonderful, but I'm especially fond of the close-up--it shows so much skill in the way it was rendered, with the subtle folding of the costume over her form, and the beautiful blending and highlighting of her skintones...amazing! "Descent" is full of energy--and are they actually fighting...? It looks that way to me--Visas' pose and dynamic flight don't look like simple sparring...

I really admire the skill of these artists--very very much! Amazing work, all!

I expected nothing less from you, FF. lol

No immediate plans to color this one. It's in line though. lol

Yeah these were pretty brutal. We were having fun with showing various outcomes of powers though.

TG's good with displaying movement. I needed to get him away from transforming cute teens into sexy harlots. lol

SM came a long way with those renders. It took him an entire week just to build her character; the hood was the most difficult part. He still won't tell me where he got that costume.

He does some exceptional Poser work. Maybe a Twi'lek next? I'm unsure. I don't understand the fuss over them. If someone could adequately explain it to me, I'd... understand more... I guess...

They're probably fighting. Whatever it is, it's probably his fault.

If anyone can adequately explain women to me, I'd be more understanding.

... Women...

Oh, AWEsome!! applause applause A real Marvel Comics feel to this one, like a cover! Terrific pose, and I'm with TOJP that the b/g is superbly done! I keep thinking of the Phantom Zone in Superman! wink Beautiful colors, so much energy! Big kudos to the artist! applause
