Once again I am asking the amazingly talented people on here to draw my Dungeons and Dragon character.
Both myself and the people who I play with were impressed with the last effort =D
Since that picture was drawn, the character kept the streets of Sigil City of Doors safe, fought some demons in a minitor temple, got turned to stone by an epic level wizard trapped in a sword that was being wielded by a 6 armed snake lady then turned back from stone by the cleric, fought a Balor, died, got brought back to life by a god, released the Wizard in the sword and defeated the Balor, trapping his soul inside a giant black orb.
Awesome!
Anyway, we are starting a new game in a couple of weeks and would love to have a picture of my next Character.
His name is Cruxx, he is a 4th level Swashbuckler and 3rd level Bard. He is 5'9 and 165lbs with blue eyes, black hair and tanned skin. He is quite athletic as well as charismatic. In battle he wields a flaming Spiked Chain and wears a Mithral chain shirt.
I'm not too sure on his personality yet but I am hoping that a visual picture will help stir some things. Feel free to have as much artistic freedom as you need.
Thanks in advance everyone =D

God that sounds like a blast to draw. The only issue is Im kinda swamped with my own projects at the moment, and it could be weeks if I ever get around to doing this. Right now Im working on my own character and a request by Suiseseki. Sorry mate, but someone else will probably take you up on thiszen5887 said:
Hey guys. I gots myself some new digital work to show (In case I haven't explained this before I dislike showing my physical works on the internet because I feel that you do not take it in well over the internet and I intended them for people to view in person; thus I only display my digital projects).
This is the beginning of a new project based on one of my favorite books by my favorite fantasy author. This is a rough draft of one of characters that will be part of a larger scene. I will be posting the images separately and merging all the images later. Anyway, at the moment this is pretty rough, but its what I need before I put them together and I can clean everything up from there. Regardless I'm pretty happy with how this turned out after a little more than an hour of work.

Good to hear you liked the last one so much.zen5887 said:
As soon as I get Photoshop working again I'll give it a shot. This Cruxx fellow seems like a very interesting character, and more importantly would be really fun to draw.
Might take me a few days or so...been having some computer troubles. But I'll definately give it a go.
Sometimes when I'm bored enough I break out my old Flash MX 2004 and I play around with the some incredibly basic frame-by-frame dealies, that I've come to call the "Thingies".
Originally they were basic enough to really only be round headed little guys with what looked like socks for bodies...
But that was about a two or so years ago and they have since evolved.
into this.
Like I said I don't do animation very often, in fact the last time I did it seriously was to make a doritos ad for that contest a year back, even then I was also doing it for College.
These things are about the only things I bother to animate, and most of the time I'm pretty happy with the result. Just wanted to see what people on here thought.

So, I'm currently trying to get my ass in gear so I can start working on an entry for that "Stonking Great Game" contest. I mean come on I get to make a game and win massive amounts of swag? It's a win-win.
I'm going to have to end up animating a lot of crap down the line, so I'm starting out by making "resources" for all of the characters. That means bodies, hands and feet, heads with different facial expressions, and so on. I've been working on doing that for most of the day, but I already know that making the art assets will end up being the easiest part of the entire process.
Right now I've got basic character assets for Yahtzee and "regular" people, including a bunch of different faces and stuff like different bodies. The imps will be up next. For the hell of it I'll post updates of my progress on this when I get the chance until it's either done or I abandon it out of sheer apathy and procrastination. Whichever comes first.
Oh, and finally we have this:

Well I'm a cartoonist, so I like to draw random stuff like this.
Yep. A sophisticated cat. What you gonna do about it?
I also animate a lot, but none of my vids have met much success. Oh well one can dream.

The animation is quite fluid. I like where you're going. IF I have a problem with it its that the character who's hit with the ball appears smaller when fallen than while standing. Its just a case of small perspective and spacial issues that need to be worked out. Otherwise I like it. It seems like a natural extension of Brainbolt.Archemetis said:
Interesting. What kind of an approach are you taking to the game? Platformer? Adventure? RPG?Vanguard1219 said:
Of course who had to indulge in the self/yahtzee image, though I feel it would better suit your style to ditch the yellow in favor of black or white. The yellow makes you feel like a different character.
Post your vids. We'd love to see them. I would at least.alalge said:
Well, I don't actually plan on putting myself into the game... okay, maybe, but that isn't the point. Either way it'll still be very much Yahtzee's "world", so elements of his style, including the yellow, all have to be present. Besides, if I didn't keep the yellow the name I came up with, "Zero Punctuation: Into the Yellow Euphoric Yonder", wouldn't make much sense.Fightgarr said:
As far as the game itself, think action platformer. I'm tearing a page out of the Megaman playbook and I'm planning on have several different "theme" levels based off of different games he's reviewed, each one with a boss at the end. I'm still waffling back-and-forth on mechanics, but at this point I think I'm going with the tag-team of Yahtzee and an imp acting as a "team" of sorts. They stick together, solve puzzles together, fight together (i.e. Yahtzee might actually use the imp as a weapon), etc.
The "story" is inspired partially by Gex the Gecko if you ever played that. Basically Yahtzee gets forcibly sucked into his computer, and if he's going to escape he has to venture through several different "worlds" based off of games that he's reviewed (in Gex it was a TV and television shows instead).
Did that answer everything?
Oh thanks, I was gonna post a link, but I get badgered for advertising. Her ya are, this is one of my more recent vids, let me know what you think.Fightgarr said:

Holy crap... mine is going to be no where near that complicated...

Lucky you. It seems you've got a few takers for your character, myself included. Perhaps you could get the descriptions of your friends' characters as well. I know myself that I love doing drawings based on other people's ideas, perhaps there are other like-minded artists here too.zen5887 said:
Also, when I finish the picture, would you mind if I added it to my Deviant page? I'll credit you of course, by either your name or linking to your profile page here.
