The body seems... oddly shaped, i guess? I dunno how to say it... It's more realistic than the rest of the body, but that makes it stick out, i guess? =/

It's kind of triangular. The legs seem weird in proportion to the torso.

[FlashRah]

but anyway!
I want honest opinions!!!

I'll see you in court.

Consider I draw like a monkey amputee bashing its face into the keyboard for results I don't know where I get off saying this but...

...nope. I do not dig it. The torso is the biggest gripe. What the heck?

[CrimsonAngel]

He dosen't have any feet. :|

Also, I suggest giving him a wider waist and have his legs farther apart.

[FlashRah]

Yeah that too.

Also I didn't bring this up because I'm assuming it's just something with this particular character but the face looks dead. Like a reanimated corpse used to fool a loved one into revealing the location of the secret gold stash on...

...I'm sorry I lost my train of thought.

[Mina Kobold]

Your art seems pretty awesome, Kev. But may I ask why a kobold is in a dress?

Oh, and why the reboot?

Next week is GB week, and dresses are cute. :3

It's being rebooted because it falled flat the first time.

Reinds me I forgot those kobold samurai.

So I redownloaded Inkscape and desided to have a go at trying my own art style influenced by OotS.
Its still work in progress but I personally don't think it turned out too badly....
Still not sure if I'm gunna give it feet... and when I get my desktop back up and running I'll probs keep the old art style for DoY.

but anyway!
I want honest opinions!!!

Looks pretty good to me, the face looks a bit like it should be looking to the right but is not for some reason, though.

But that's just me.

[Fay Graydon]

Yeah that too.

Is it the eyes?
If so its cuz he's blind XD

[FlashRah]

Well can I see it on a different character? Maybe I'll like it then.

Also I'd like to see how you do female characters.

[CrimsonAngel]

Also I'd like to see how you do female characters.

Because they might be topless?

[FlashRah]

Because they might be topless?

No thanks. Even if I was attracted to women I'm pretty sure they'd have to be human and not, you know, creepy-ass stick figures.

[HalfTangible]

Because they might be topless?

No thanks. Even if I was attracted to women I'm pretty sure they'd have to be human and not, you know, creepy-ass stick figures.

1) Not if your imagination is really good.
2) Out of curiosity, gay, asexual or GB week?

[FlashRah]

Gay.

What does gender bender week have to do with it?

[HalfTangible]

Gay.

What does gender bender week have to do with it?

*shrug* You could've been a girl with a guy avvie, i have no way of knowing.

[FlashRah]

I still don't quite get it but you have your answer now.

Is there anything ABR related (outside of the currently running plots which I've already explained I have no way into) that I could use to flex the old art muscles?

Are you asking us if we need any new banners?

[FlashRah]

No. Something to post in the art thread I mean.

I wouldnt use a banner made by me and you shouldn't either.

[-skimmer-]

No. Something to post in the art thread I mean.

Then no....just make a comic and dont worry about art or writing quality. We are making these comic mostly for fun and self improvement....if you have no idea how to get into the plot, then just draw yourself standing next to someone else saying hi and watch what happens

Easy enough, no?

[HalfTangible]

Random Kill? Basically draw a character killing some one else's character for no reason.

Fair enough

That sounds like fun also.

[Fay Graydon]

Also I'd like to see how you do female characters.

I havn't yet got a female (new) template, I'm honing my male one first.

Because they might be topless?

Hehe, the fact I usually do nipples and bewbs on my base templates means that base female templates tend to be revealing...
I have no clue why I do that though...


Also I'm thinking about starting up a new Plot with a High Tech sorta setting I'm currently working out some details of it so I won't actually say anything more. But I wan't it to sorta be a futureistic war based setting.
Details to come later

[Green-Shirt Q]

Wow! Cool comic, Threeshades!

Though if THAT wasn't your really really great idea, what was?

[Threeshades]

Something REEEEAALLY epic. I might come around to it eventually, but im not sure if i would influence the plot too much.

[CrimsonAngel]

Q... I could have done that!

[Fay Graydon]

Done what? Im unable to view any of Q;s comics :\

[Mina Kobold]

Make Roth (Thor) disappear by not believing in him.

Which is funny but kind of have me scratching my head about how that works if he's a parody of Thor.

I mean, nobody believed in Thor between the Christianising of Scandinavia and his return in the twentieth century and he seem pretty solid and not-fading.

But then again, there are forces at work here that not even the gods ever imagined!

Most of them involving colourful jewelry.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Q... I could have done that!

...Your point being?

[Threeshades]

Anyone could have done it, except for Khan-Fer'ret becase he wouldnt care enough to disbelieve.

[Fay Graydon]

Right! I've desided to abandon my old art style and take up my new art style whilst on my netbook... so as soon as my desktop is fixed i'll continue my Dawn of Yesterday comic in my old style.

I like my new style... It makes me giggle so I shall be using it for ABR from now on :P


Now i have to start on Fayte as a member of "the faceless" and as "the gifted" as examples for my new plot idea... as soon as I come up with some example tech and explanations for this plot idea I'll put it forward to you lot and see if you think it'll be any good

[CrimsonAngel]

He looks surprised.

*puts clothes back on*

[Fay Graydon]

Okay this is Fayte dressed as a member of the faction "the faceless" named such due to their helmet's obsuring their face.
They are trained killers, above the law, sent out to hunt those who utilise Magical Amplifier's to unlock certain strands of DNA in their bodies.
The Faceless use top of the range energy weapons with self sustaining and recharging powercells that overheat and require "venting" to quickly bring control of the weapon back to normal peramiters to continue fireing.
The faceless also have body suits, reinforced with titanium weave and plates, they have braced spinal armour that hooks around the front of the suit giving the appearence of the claws gripping the body.
Their helmet feeds tactical data via uplink to a HUD on the inside and suit functions can be adjusted via neral interfaces at the back of the neck and down the spine of the suit.
Because of how the Magical Amplifier technology "the gifted" utilise helps focus their concentration, a way "The faceless" have found to counter act it is to have a high pitched frequency to disrupt ones consentration making it hard for "the gifted" to focus and utilise magical abilities such as form construction of elements, creation of minor quantities of matter or manipulation of energy. thus giving a faceless hunter an opening of which to eliminate the threat. The helmet of the suit is able to filter the frequency so that the faceless hunter is unaffected by the high pitched frequency as well as filtering out other sounds and voices.

He'res a suit example with a standard particle beam sidearm modeled by Fayte:


Feedback? what do people think of "The Faceless"? and as soon as I get a chance I'll design an example of the sort of tech one of "the Gifted" might use.
(also if this DOES become a new plot... one rule about magic... it can only be utilised if a person who has a correct DNA stain to allow them to use magic, can only use magic with a Magical amplification deveice (MAD))

EDIT:
Cuz it looks cool...

1. What exactly disallows ANY mage just to make some sound proof suits of their own? If they're capable of acquiring such technological marvel as MAD, then some noise filters wouldn't be much of a problem now, right?

2. That faceless suit looks cool, but if I were you I would work on facial expressions a bit more....right now Fayte gives me the impression like he's about to puke....
