Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
I really dig your artstyle, Darklord. It has a sorta...."Scribblenauts-if-it weren't-100%-sucky" feel to it. It's really pleasent.
I also really like your concept and your design of Spellscar. I think she and my new character will probably have a lot of great chemistry together, when I introduce him sometime in the next coming week.
Just don't abandon Cyban, please. She's actually one of my favourite characters in ABR as a whole.AVATAR BATTLE ROYALE!

Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
...That thing on her face. That's a scarf and NOT a giant eldritch mouth, right?

Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
Believe it is a patterned scarf. Not necessarily intended to look like a mouth, but similar to those scarves that are intended to do so. ^_^
On that note, Great introduction, Bright! I particularly liked the build-up of Spellscar's lament before the explosion and subsequent transition, very smoothly done.
Only thing I am wondering about is whether Spellscar is an Avbaroian or was transported there by the explosion, I do not recall seeing Lilotte mentioned before. Might just be me, though. ^_^'
And now to get back to drawing something silly before I draw something ABR related! To the Kobo-Kave! :3Treasured Quotes

Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
Just noting that my next comic will be up around Sunday, if not on Saturday.
If anyone has any objections to the plan of action, or anything to throw in then go for it.
Failure to object will result in me assuming you're okay with everything.

If I can muster the will to make a comic, I will have it up by mid-friday I think, at the latest.

Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
I'm more likely to phase her out of the limelight and use her for jokes as opposed to trying to make my part of the story centre around her. She'll still be around.
Bandanna worn over the mouth. It's there to cover up some pretty horrible facial scarring, which I have actually drawn underneath and might show one of these days.
She's Avbaroyan. Lilotte is a goddess I made up because I'm pretty sure not a lot of the cosmology has been defined for the reboot. She was going to be the goddess of magic, but I figured that was too broad and so I made her more of a patron saint of mages. The facelessness isn't a style choice, either, she's typically depicted that way. Let's ignore the fact that she uses the name of my goddess-of-lies from a different setting.
But yeah. When the talisman cracked, the resulting explosion overcharged the statue and caused it to blow, supercharging the magic and blasting the girl we will now know as Spellscar. If a character has any way of detecting magic, it'd be pretty overwhelming with her.
Which is funny, since she still can't actually cast spells.

Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
If Lying were around, his main gripe with the plan would be the part where you reforge a magical artifact used to conquer most of the planet.

Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
I think Avbaroy already has atleast one established deity of magic. Actually, new deities seem to pop up with almost every new character, so whatever

Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
Not to mention that nothing's certain in the reboot except what's already been established, so who knows. I mean, the whole point of the reboot was to use the same set-up and basic ideas but remove itself from the heavily-established plot elements and things to allow people free reign to make stuff up again. You've gotta admit, world-building is one of the most fun parts of this little collaborative comic we all have going here.

Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
One of my earlier drafts of my upcoming character, Dr. Mandragola (coming to the plot this week!) was that he was going to be a guinoid. I decided against it because A) I didn't want to be seen as ripping off Kpenguin's style and B) the concept I came up with for his character is a lot more funny with him being a human.
Wait...Humans funnier than penguins?! WHAT WORLD IS THIS?!
And yes, I actually really enjoy reading the world-building stuff (though I get bored and confused if I try to read too much of it in one go). I like how it was originally a bunch of people trying to squeeze in their own god-like origins and it eventually just became a lore.AVATAR BATTLE ROYALE!

Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
Ooh, that is interesting. Do you have plans for Lilotte or could someone else also build upon it? I have a character in mind that may have clerical connections to a deity. Could easily be something else (I have some ideas), but tying things together may be fun. ^_^
On another note: We are indeed lacking in penguins. Anyone know what became of Kpenguin or Squark? I know Sinister is still left around, and amazing, but we used to have so many flightless feather-people around.Treasured Quotes

I've seen Squark around the Team Fortress 2 thread.

Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
No plans. If someone else were to take the little footnote there and decide she was the goddess of lies masquerading as a goddess of mages, I'd not have much of a qualm at all. If the name was just a coincidence and she was actually a goddess of mages, I'd be equally un-qualmed. The only real difference it'd make would be that Spellscar would probably respond differently to the discovery.

Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
I'm finished the illistrations for my first Endle∞ Winter comic. I may even get this comic up tomorrow.
Also, I'm doing all my comic art by hand, now. I'm doing my best to make it readable and dynamic, but I still need more practice, which I'm hoping will come through making ABR comics. Point is, please don't crucify me because my art isn't up to professional standards. I know. There's a learning curve.
Also, packaged with my first comic will be a non-canon comic to introduce the character more in-depth. One because it makes all the practice poses I drew useful (this comic basically uses my concept art), gives you guys enough of a good view to make good templates, and shows off his speech mannerisms and personality so that you can feel confident writing his character in your own comics.
I recommend everybody do this for their characters if they want them adequately represented in other's comics, just because most of the introductions so far haven't established much about anybody. Just an idea I had.Last edited by Green-Shirt Q; 2012-11-30 at 05:39 PM.

Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
What I just found out: inking hand drawn comics is a very time-consuming activity that shouldn't be completed with a big test tomorrow.
I'm almost done, and the comic will be up by Wednesday at the latest with plot-advancing details.
It takes place at the same shack you're all currently in, so please, if you're going to make comics before then, please don't move from that location yet.AVATAR BATTLE ROYALE!

Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
I was gonna have Iron Ice walk up to the door behind her and say something along the lines of "I've listened to crazier leaders with worse plans, I suppose. But I'm a Masked Hero, don't call me a mook." but that would involve them leaving the shack that I honestly didn't expect to last this many comics, so i'll save it for later and spend the intermediate time drawing templates.
Seriously, you'd be shocked how few templates I used to make before they were needed.Last edited by HalfTangible; 2012-12-02 at 06:21 PM.

Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
I'm probably going to do the same, and just work on templates until I see a good point to jump in.
I may do something like Q's idea and make a comic explaining the character and her gear.

Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
It doesn't sound like it necessarily needs them to leave the shack. At least by that description.
Funnily enough, I drew Iron Ice right behind Nitrine at the front door, so as long as they don't actually leave, your comic could flow seemlessly into mine.
But whatever floats your boat.
Also, real talk, it was really funny to try and imagine what your character would look like in a more detailed art style. Mainly because your character has absolutely no detail on his character design and no visable personality indicating such. He's just a ridiculously simple character design.
Another observation: all the females in the party so far have their mouths covered by something. I exclude Peach because she hasn't joined the group yet. But it was odd when drawing a group shot and realizing over half the characters so far are females with their mouths covered. Bizarre.AVATAR BATTLE ROYALE!

Iron's original self was REALLY desperate and miserable, and the current has thrown himself headfirst into 'making up for it' even though he has no idea.
Point is, Iron would only allow himself to have what he needed. And there's very little Exalted (especially mage-style castes like the Temporal) genuinely 'need'. There's a reason he's not wearing a coat, ya know.

Re: ABR Discussion thread XXXV - Rise of the Pervsharks!
Yeah, I noticed the high ratio of female characters as well, and the fact that pretty much all of them have their mouths covered. In fact, Cobalt and Peach are the only characters so far that aren't wearing any sort of mask, am I right?
Haha, it's kinda funny. I guess there's an ounce of sense in there, due to the climate.
I'll have a comic up when I manage to get around finishing these templates.
A funny little aside: For some reason I find DLB's characters easier to make a template for in my art style than anyone else's, and I really can't figure out why. I like making templates, it's kinda fun interpreting other people's art styles and trying to be true to their general likeness whilst converting them into your own style. It's a bit time consuming for me though, I'm too much of a perfectionist!
