Re: That Guy with a Halberd
'Fraid not.
You might try writing some GwaH fanfiction though... stick it up in carts and rafts *looks around sheepishly*...
I mean arts and crafts, maybe on a basis of one chapter per fan or something... gives you guys a way of promoting him, etc.Part of YugiohITPAvatar by Smuchmuch

Re: That Guy with a Halberd
alright I made my own Oots(ish) style avatar I know Its not as good as the other one but I'm pretty sure the other one was ripped straight from one of the comic and I think thats illegal...

Re: That Guy with a Halberd
Don't worry, the avatar I made is in vector format and thus not ripped direct from the comic (I did have that page open as a reference next to it so I could check I got the helmet and halberd right, as well as a source for the right colours). He was originally a model I made for Keldorn from Baldur's Gate 2 who had similar armour. Once you've got one soldier model done it's pretty easy to use it as the base for any other.
I'll see if I can pose the original SVG vector file somewhere so that those of you making other art can use it. It will scale better and you won't have the pixelisation problems.

Honestly Keeper, I would do an offshoot of his experiences in the Azure city resistance.

Re: That Guy with a Halberd

Re: That Guy with a Halberd
I'm working on a GwaH origin story. How he came to wield a halberd, how he joined the Azure Guard, etc.
I don't expect it to be accepted as an "official" backstory, but I want to do it anyway.
Text only, by the way... I'm no artist.Current Games:

Re: That Guy with a Halberd
Hmm, I got something. How about we hold a backstory contest. Anyone who wants to participate posts their own backstory of GwaH.
After a few are posted, I'll open a new thread where we can vote on which is the best (or most akin to the character).Bombastic founder of the "That guy with a Halberd" Fanclub

Re: That Guy with a Halberd
That sounds cool. Then the best backstory can be given to an artist, and we can create all sorts of fanfiction.

Re: That Guy with a Halberd
I think we should all go here to give GwaH some publicity... but wait until and outsider puts up a post about the sig before you post... it'll make sense when you see the thread

Re: That Guy with a Halberd
I played around with the concept a little. Exploring what happened after Trazoi's picture. Since we don't have any established canon for this guy, here goes my own version of events, in three mute pictures.
The hock on the halberd is all wrong but this is so quick'n dirty it's embarrassing.
I considered a last picture where he leaves the burning Azure City behind him. A project for later mayhap.

Re: That Guy with a Halberd
This is a picture of the Destined strike(aka improved true strike) also in this one the halberd is vorpal and GwaH is badly drawn.

Re: That Guy with a Halberd
looks pretty awesome. I particularly like when he takes off his helmet, the hair gives him some individuality, which the GwaH sorely needs.
As for Nevitan, the spell is supposed to make it nearly impossible to miss, so I suggest adding some kind of magical nether cord to the picture that springs out of the halberd to guide it towards the intended target.Bombastic founder of the "That guy with a Halberd" Fanclub

Re: That Guy with a Halberd
Wow, two days away from the forum and the fan club grew in biblical proportion!
Two comments about the story: First one, Im already doing my first draft in paper, then a friend of mine who is quite proficient with inkscape will turn them into a digital stick figures short comic.
Second comment: Maybe there could be different backgrounds and stories, all different versions of the legend of GwaH, much like the legend of Zelda. That way we could do pretty much whatever we want with the character, of course, those "versions" of the legend should have the seal of approval to be a valid fan club supported version.I WAS THERELife is like a dungeon master, if it smiles at you, you just know that something terrible is about to happen

Re: That Guy with a Halberd
All of that art (smiley, avatar, banner, the stuff from the OP) seems to be specifically of a character in OoTS rather than just OoTS-style art. Wouldn't that fall under the "Rich Burlew has specifically requested that people NOT use his OOTS art as avatar image, other than those he has specifically provided as the default message board avatars."

Re: That Guy with a Halberd
Everyone who wants to be the contest state it. I'll open another thread and lay rules. I will say right now that it will be story only (not to be hard on anyone, this is just to give people who don't have anyone to make strip art for them a chance).
P.S. This will not bar you from making your comic Coplanter, but you will need to submit a text only version if you want to participate.Last edited by Graymayre; 2008-08-10 at 09:52 PM.
